terms as those initially issued. Further Series B Senior Notes may also be authenticated and delivered as provided by Sections 304, 305, 306, 906 and 1106 of the Original Indenture.

Senior Notes shall be in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit B hereto.

Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity is within three months before or after the Remaining Life, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable

 2

there shall have been presented to the Trustee proof satisfactory to it that such Series B Senior Notes are held by a bona fide purchaser in whose hands such Series B Senior Notes are valid obligations of the Company; provided, however, that in
determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Series B Senior Notes have given, made or taken any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver or other action hereunder as of any date,
Series B Senior Notes owned by the Company or any other obligor upon the Series B Senior Notes or any Affiliate of the Company or such other obligor shall be disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding, except that, in determining whether the

the Person in whose name the Series B Senior Notes are registered on the Regular Record Date for such Interest Payment Date; provided that interest payable at the Stated Maturity of principal or on a Redemption Date as provided herein will be paid
to the Person to whom principal is payable. Any such interest that is not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holders on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person or Persons in whose
name the Series B Senior Notes are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such defaulted interest to be fixed by the Trustee (in accordance with Section 307 of the Original Indenture), notice whereof shall be
given to Holders of the Series B Senior Notes not less than ten (10) days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange, if any, on which the

 4

respective Interest Payment Dates. Interest payments for the Series B Senior Notes shall be computed and paid on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. In the event that any date on which interest is payable on the Series B Senior
Notes is not a Business Day, then payment of the interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or payment in respect of any such delay), in each case with the same force and
effect as if made on the date the payment was originally payable. 
  
 Payment of the principal and interest on the Series B Senior Notes shall be made at the office of the Paying Agent in such currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private
debts, with any such payment that is due at the Stated Maturity of any Series B Senior Notes or on Redemption Date being made upon surrender of such Series B Senior Notes to the Paying Agent. Payments of interest (including interest on any Interest
Payment Date) will be made, subject to such surrender where applicable, at the option of the Company, (i) by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register or (ii) by wire transfer at
such place and to such account at a banking institution in the United States as may be designated in writing to the Trustee at least sixteen (16) days prior to the date for payment by the Person entitled thereto. In the event that any date on which
principal and interest is payable on the Series B Senior Notes is not a Business Day, then payment of the principal and interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or payment
in respect of any such delay), in each case with the same force and effect as if made on the date the payment was originally payable. 
  
 SECTION 104. Denominations. The Series B Senior Notes may be issued in denominations of $1,000, or any integral multiple thereof.

issued initially in the form of one or more Global Securities registered in the name of the Depositary (which shall be The Depository Trust Company) or its nominee. Except under the limited circumstances described below, Series B Senior Notes
represented by such Global Securities will not be exchangeable for, and will not otherwise be issuable as, Series B Senior Notes in definitive form. The Global Securities described above may not be transferred except by the Depositary to a nominee
of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or to a successor Depositary or its nominee. 
  
 Owners of beneficial interests in such a Global Security will not be considered the Holders thereof for any purpose under the Indenture, and no Global
Security representing a Series B Senior Note shall be exchangeable, except for another Global Security of like denomination and tenor to be registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee or to a successor Depositary or its nominee or except
as described below. The rights of Holders of such Global Security shall be exercised only through the Depositary. 
  
 A Global Security shall be exchangeable for Series B Senior Notes registered in the names of persons other than the Depositary or its nominee only if (i)
the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as a Depositary for such Global Security and 

  

 5 

 
no successor Depositary shall have been appointed by the Company within 90 days of receipt by the Company of such notification, or if at any time the
Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act at a time when the Depositary is required to be so registered to act as such Depositary and no successor Depositary shall have been appointed by the Company within 90 days
after it becomes aware of such cessation, or (ii) the Company in its sole discretion determines that such Global Security shall be so exchangeable. Any Global Security that is exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be exchangeable for
Series B Senior Notes registered in such names as the Depositary shall direct. 
  
 SECTION 106. Redemption. The Series B Senior Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at any time, and at the option of the Company, at a Redemption Price (“Optional Redemption Price”) equal to the
greater of: 
  
 (i) 100% of the principal amount
of Series B Senior Notes then Outstanding to be so redeemed, or 
  
 (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued as of the Redemption Date) discounted to the
Redemption Date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate, plus 15 basis points, as calculated by an Independent Investment Banker, 
  
 plus, in either of the above cases, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to
the Redemption Date. 
  
 The Adjusted Treasury Rate shall be
calculated on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date. 
  
 Notwithstanding Section 1104 of the Original Indenture, (x) notice of redemption under this Section 106 shall with respect to the Series B Senior Notes be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60
days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Series B Senior Notes to be redeemed, at his address appearing in the Security Register, and (y) the notice of such redemption need not set forth the Redemption Price but only the manner of
calculation thereof. The Company shall notify the Trustee of the Redemption Price promptly after the calculation thereof and the Trustee shall have no responsibility for such calculation. 
  
 SECTION 107. Sinking Fund. The Series B Senior Notes shall not have a sinking fund. 
  
 SECTION 108. Additional Interest. Any principal of and installment of
interest on the Series B Senior Notes that is overdue shall bear interest at the rate of 4.50% (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), from the dates such amounts are due until they are paid or made available
for payment, and such interest shall be payable on demand. 
  

 6 

 SECTION 109. Paying Agent. The Trustee shall initially serve as Paying Agent with respect to the
Series B Senior Notes, with the Place of Payment initially being the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. 
  
 ARTICLE II

Supplemental Indenture are made by the Company only and not by the Trustee, and all of the provisions contained in the Original Indenture in respect of the rights, privileges, immunities, powers and duties of the Trustee shall be applicable in
respect of the Series B Senior Notes and of this Ninth Supplemental Indenture as fully and with like effect as if set forth herein in full. 
  
 SECTION 202. Ratification and Incorporation of Original Indenture. As supplemented hereby, the Original Indenture is in all respects ratified and
confirmed, and the Original Indenture and this Ninth Supplemental Indenture shall be read, taken and construed as one and the same instrument. 
  
 SECTION 203. Executed in Counterparts. This Ninth Supplemental Indenture may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to
be an original, and such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

to the Series B Senior Notes to a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company; provided that, in the event of any such assignment, the Company shall remain fully liable for the performance of all such obligations. The Indenture may

 This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company
(herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of June 1, 1998, as heretofore supplemented and amended and as further supplemented by a Ninth Supplemental Indenture dated as of
December 1, 2003 (collectively, as amended or supplemented from time to time, herein called the “Indenture”, which term shall have the meaning assigned to it in such instrument), between the Company and JPMorgan Chase Bank (formerly known
as The Chase Manhattan Bank), as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of
rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on the
face hereof (the “Series B Senior Notes”) which is unlimited in aggregate principal amount. 
  
 The Series B Senior Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at any time in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. 
  
 If an Event of Default with respect to Series B Senior Notes shall occur and
be continuing, the principal of the Series B Senior Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. 
  
 The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time
Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all
Securities of such series, to waive certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Series B Senior Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders
of this Series B Senior Note and of any Series B Senior Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Series B Senior Note.

  
 As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture,
the Holder of this Series B Senior Note shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously

 WHEREAS, the Company proposes to create under the Indenture a series of Securities; 
  
 WHEREAS, additional Securities of other series hereafter established, except as may be limited in the Original Indenture as

obligation of the Company have been done or performed. 
  
 NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the agreements and obligations set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows: 
  
 ARTICLE I 
 2003 SERIES C 5.25% SENIOR NOTES DUE DECEMBER 15, 2015 
  
 SECTION 101. Establishment. There is hereby established a new series of Securities to be issued under the Indenture, to be designated as the

 There are to be initially authenticated and delivered $200,000,000 principal amount of Series C Senior Notes, and such principal amount of the Series C
Senior Notes may be increased from time to time pursuant to Section 301 of the Indenture. All Series C Senior Notes need not be issued at the same time and such series may be reopened at any time, without the consent of 

  

 
any Holder, for issuances of additional Series C Senior Notes. Any such additional Series C Senior Notes will have the same interest rate, maturity and other
terms as those initially issued. Further Series C Senior Notes may also be authenticated and delivered as provided by Sections 304, 305, 306, 906 and 1106 of the Original Indenture. 
  
 The Series C Senior Notes shall be issued in definitive fully registered form without coupons, in substantially the form set
out in Exhibit A hereto. The entire initially issued principal amount of the Series C Senior Notes shall initially be evidenced by one or more certificates issued to Cede & Co., as nominee for The Depository Trust Company. 
  
 The form of the Trustee’s Certificate of Authentication for the Series C
Senior Notes shall be in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit B hereto. 
  
 Each Series C Senior Note shall be dated the date of authentication thereof and shall bear interest from the date of original issuance thereof or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been
paid or duly provided for.

Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity is within three months before or after the Remaining Life, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable
Treasury Issue shall be determined and the adjusted Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month); or (ii) if such release (or any successor release) is not published
during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue
(expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date. 
  
 “Business Day” means a day other than (i) a Saturday or a Sunday, (ii) a day on which banks in New York, New York are authorized or obligated by
law or executive order to remain closed or (iii) a day on which the Corporate Trust Office is closed for business.

maturity to the remaining term of such Series C Senior Notes. 
  

 2 

 “Comparable Treasury Price” means (i) the average of five Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations

paid pursuant to Section 306 of the Original Indenture or in exchange for or in lieu of which other Series C Senior Notes have been authenticated and delivered pursuant to the Indenture, other than any such Series C Senior Notes in respect of which
there shall have been presented to the Trustee proof satisfactory to it that such Series C Senior Notes are held by a bona fide purchaser in whose hands such Series C Senior Notes are valid obligations of the Company; provided, however, that in
determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Series C Senior Notes have given, made or taken any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver or other action hereunder as of any date,
Series C Senior Notes owned by the Company or any other obligor upon the Series C Senior Notes or any Affiliate of the Company or such other obligor shall be disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding, except that, in determining whether the
Trustee shall be protected in making any such determination or relying upon any such request, 

  

 3

the Person in whose name the Series C Senior Notes are registered on the Regular Record Date for such Interest Payment Date; provided that interest payable at the Stated Maturity of principal or on a Redemption Date as provided herein will be paid
to the Person to whom principal is payable. Any such interest that is not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holders on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person or Persons in whose
name the Series C Senior Notes are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such defaulted interest to be fixed by the Trustee (in accordance with Section 307 of the Original Indenture), notice whereof shall be
given to Holders of the Series C Senior Notes not less than ten (10) days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange, if any, on which the

 4 

 Payments of interest on the Series C Senior Notes will include interest accrued to but excluding the
respective Interest Payment Dates. Interest payments for the Series C Senior Notes shall be computed and paid on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. In the event that any date on which interest is payable on the Series C Senior
Notes is not a Business Day, then payment of the interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or payment in respect of any such delay), in each case with the same force and
effect as if made on the date the payment was originally payable. 
  
 Payment of the principal and interest on the Series C Senior Notes shall be made at the office of the Paying Agent in such currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private
debts, with any such payment that is due at the Stated Maturity of any Series C Senior Notes or on Redemption Date being made upon surrender of such Series C Senior Notes to the Paying Agent. Payments of interest (including interest on any Interest
Payment Date) will be made, subject to such surrender where applicable, at the option of the Company, (i) by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register or (ii) by wire transfer at
such place and to such account at a banking institution in the United States as may be designated in writing to the Trustee at least sixteen (16) days prior to the date for payment by the Person entitled thereto. In the event that any date on which
principal and interest is payable on the Series C Senior Notes is not a Business Day, then payment of the principal and interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or payment
in respect of any such delay), in each case with the same force and effect as if made on the date the payment was originally payable. 
  
 SECTION 104. Denominations. The Series C Senior Notes may be issued in denominations of $1,000, or any integral multiple thereof. 
  
 SECTION 105. Global Securities. The Series C Senior Notes will be
issued initially in the form of one or more Global Securities registered in the name of the Depositary (which shall be The Depository Trust Company) or its nominee. Except under the limited circumstances described below, Series C Senior Notes
represented by such Global Securities will not be exchangeable for, and will not otherwise be issuable as, Series C Senior Notes in definitive form. The Global Securities described above may not be transferred except by the Depositary to a nominee
of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or to a successor Depositary or its nominee. 
  
 Owners of beneficial interests in such a Global Security will not be considered the Holders thereof for any purpose under the Indenture, and no Global
Security representing a Series C Senior Note shall be exchangeable, except for another Global Security of like denomination and tenor to be registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee or to a successor Depositary or its nominee or except
as described below. The rights of Holders of such Global Security shall be exercised only through the Depositary. 
  
 A Global Security shall be exchangeable for Series C Senior Notes registered in the names of persons other than the Depositary or its nominee only if (i)
the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as a Depositary for such Global Security and 

  

 5 

 
no successor Depositary shall have been appointed by the Company within 90 days of receipt by the Company of such notification, or if at any time the
Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act at a time when the Depositary is required to be so registered to act as such Depositary and no successor Depositary shall have been appointed by the Company within 90 days
after it becomes aware of such cessation, or (ii) the Company in its sole discretion determines that such Global Security shall be so exchangeable. Any Global Security that is exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be exchangeable for
Series C Senior Notes registered in such names as the Depositary shall direct. 
  
 SECTION 106. Redemption. The Series C Senior Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at any time, and at the option of the Company, at a Redemption Price (“Optional Redemption Price”) equal to the
greater of: 
  
 (i) 100% of the principal amount
of Series C Senior Notes then Outstanding to be so redeemed, or 
  
 (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued as of the Redemption Date) discounted to the
Redemption Date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate, plus 20 basis points, as calculated by an Independent Investment Banker, 
  
 plus, in either of the above cases, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to
the Redemption Date. 
  
 The Adjusted Treasury Rate shall be
calculated on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date. 
  
 Notwithstanding Section 1104 of the Original Indenture, (x) notice of redemption under this Section 106 shall with respect to the Series C Senior Notes be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60
days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Series C Senior Notes to be redeemed, at his address appearing in the Security Register, and (y) the notice of such redemption need not set forth the Redemption Price but only the manner of
calculation thereof. The Company shall notify the Trustee of the Redemption Price promptly after the calculation thereof and the Trustee shall have no responsibility for such calculation. 
  
 SECTION 107. Sinking Fund. The Series C Senior Notes shall not have a sinking fund. 
  
 SECTION 108. Additional Interest. Any principal of and installment of
interest on the Series C Senior Notes that is overdue shall bear interest at the rate of 5.25% (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), from the dates such amounts are due until they are paid or made available
for payment, and such interest shall be payable on demand. 
  

 6 

 SECTION 109. Paying Agent. The Trustee shall initially serve as Paying Agent with respect to the
Series C Senior Notes, with the Place of Payment initially being the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. 
  
 ARTICLE II 
 MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

Supplemental Indenture are made by the Company only and not by the Trustee, and all of the provisions contained in the Original Indenture in respect of the rights, privileges, immunities, powers and duties of the Trustee shall be applicable in
respect of the Series C Senior Notes and of this Tenth Supplemental Indenture as fully and with like effect as if set forth herein in full. 
  
 SECTION 202. Ratification and Incorporation of Original Indenture. As supplemented hereby, the Original Indenture is in all respects ratified and
confirmed, and the Original Indenture and this Tenth Supplemental Indenture shall be read, taken and construed as one and the same instrument.

be an original, and such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

to the Series C Senior Notes to a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company; provided that, in the event of any such assignment, the Company shall remain fully liable for the performance of all such obligations. The Indenture may

payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or payment in respect of any such delay), in each case with the same force and effect as if made on the date the payment was originally
payable. 
  
 Payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and
interest on this Series C Senior Note will be made at the office of the Paying Agent, in the Borough of Manhattan, City and State of New York, 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, with any such payment that is due at the Stated Maturity of any Series C Senior Note or upon redemption being made upon surrender of such Series C Senior Note to such office or agency; provided, however, that at
the option of the Company payment of interest, subject to such surrender where applicable, may be made (i) by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register or (ii) by wire transfer
at such place and to such account at a banking institution in the United States as may be designated in writing to the Trustee at least sixteen (16) days prior to the date for payment by the Person entitled thereto. 
  
 Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Series C Senior
Note set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

 [REVERSE OF SERIES C 5.25% SENIOR NOTE] 
  
 This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company
(herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of June 1, 1998, as heretofore supplemented and amended and as further supplemented by a Tenth Supplemental Indenture dated as of
December 1, 2003 (collectively, as amended or supplemented from time to time, herein called the “Indenture”, which term shall have the meaning assigned to it in such instrument), between the Company and JPMorgan Chase Bank (formerly known
as The Chase Manhattan Bank), as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of
rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on the
face hereof (the “Series C Senior Notes”) which is unlimited in aggregate principal amount. 
  
 The Series C Senior Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at any time in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. 
  
 If an Event of Default with respect to Series C Senior Notes shall occur and
be continuing, the principal of the Series C Senior Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. 
  
 The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time
Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all
Securities of such series, to waive certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Series C Senior Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders
of this Series C Senior Note and of any Series C Senior Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Series C Senior Note.

  
 As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture,
the Holder of this Series C Senior Note shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously
given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Series C Senior Notes, the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Series C Senior Notes at the time Outstanding shall have made written
request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Series C
Senior Notes at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any
suit instituted by the Holder of this Series C

Senior Note for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or premium, if any, or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed or
provided for herein. 
  
 No reference herein to the Indenture and
no provision of this Series C Senior Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Series C Senior Note at the times,
place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. 
  
 As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Series C Senior Note is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Series C Senior Note for registration of transfer
at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Series C Senior Note are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Series C Senior Notes and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate
principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 
  
 The Series C Senior Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, Series C Senior Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Series C Senior Notes having the same Stated Maturity and of like tenor of any authorized denominations as requested by the Holder upon surrender of the Series C
Senior Note or Series C Senior Notes to be exchanged at the office or agency of the Company. 
  
 No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

  
 Prior to due presentment of this Series C Senior Note for
registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Series C Senior Note be overdue,
and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
