4. The Notes of each series shall be issued upon original issuance in whole in the form of one or more Global Securities (the “Global Notes”). The Depository Trust Company and the Trustee are hereby designated as the Depositary and the Security Custodian, respectively, for the Global Notes under the Indenture.

In all other cases, at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the register of the Notes maintained by the Registrar.

11. The Paying Agent and Registrar for the Notes of each series, and the Calculation Agent (as defined in the Form of 2009 Note) for the 2009 Notes, initially shall be the Trustee.

12. The 2009 Notes are subject to redemption, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time on or after April 9, 2007, at the option of the Company, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice as provided in the Indenture, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2009 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued but unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date.

13. The 2013 Notes are subject to redemption, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at the option of the Company, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice as provided in the Indenture, at a Redemption Price equal to the sum of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the 2013 Notes to be redeemed and (ii) the amount, if any, by which the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments thereon, discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 10 basis points, exceeds the principal amount of the 2013 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to (i) the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated “H.15 (519)” or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue; provided that if no maturity is within three months before or after the Stated Maturity for the 2013 Notes, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue will be determined and the Treasury Rate will 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 such calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date. The Treasury Rate shall be calculated on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date.

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker that would be used, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the 2013 Notes.

“Independent Investment Banker” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Company.

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, (i) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Trustee obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such Quotations.

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (and its successors), Greenwich Capital Markets, Inc. (and its successors), Banc of America Securities LLC (and its successors) and Barclays Capital Inc. (and its successors); provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a nationally recognized investment banking firm that is a primary U.S. Government securities dealer (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company shall substitute therefor another nationally recognized investment banking firm that is a Primary Treasury Dealer.

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the Trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer as of 3:30 p.m., New York time, on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date.

“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to each 2013 Note to be redeemed, the remaining scheduled payments of the principal thereof and interest thereon that would be due after the related Redemption Date but for such redemption; provided, however,

that, if such Redemption Date is not an Interest Payment Date with respect to such 2013 Note, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment thereon will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued thereon to such Redemption Date.

14. The Company shall have no obligation to redeem, purchase or repay Notes pursuant to any sinking fund or analogous provision or at the option of a Holder thereof.

15. Each Global Note shall bear the legend set forth on the face of the Forms of Note, as applicable.

[FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY]

CONOCOPHILLIPS AUSTRALIA FUNDING COMPANY

FLOATING RATE NOTE DUE APRIL 9, 2009

FULLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY GUARANTEED BY

CONOCOPHILLIPS AND CONOCOPHILLIPS COMPANY

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of Floating Rate Notes due April 9, 2009 (the “Securities”) of ConocoPhillips Australia Funding Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).

1. Interest. The Company promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security as set forth below from, and including, April 11, 2006 until maturity. The Company will pay interest quarterly on January 9, April 9, July 9 and October 9 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each an “Interest Payment Date”); provided that, if the next succeeding Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Payment Date shall be the next preceding Business Day. Interest on the Securities will accrue from, and including, the most recent Interest Payment Date on which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from, and including, April 11, 2006; provided that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Security is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof (each, a “Record Date”) and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from, and including, such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided, further, that the first Interest Payment Date shall be July 9, 2006. The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal and premium (if any) from time to time at a rate equal to the interest rate then in effect; it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time at the same rate to the extent lawful. The period beginning on, and including, April 11, 2006 and ending on, but excluding, the next Interest Payment Date thereafter, and each successive three-month period beginning on, and including, an Interest Payment Date and ending on, but excluding, the next succeeding Interest Payment Date is herein called an “Interest Period.”

2. Calculation of Interest.

(a) The rate of interest payable from time to time in respect of the Securities (the “Rate of Interest”) shall be a floating rate subject to adjustment once for each Interest Period and determined by reference to LIBOR, determined as described below, plus a spread of 0.10% per annum. All percentages resulting from any calculation of the Rate of Interest on the Securities shall be rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with five one millionths of a percentage point rounded upwards (e.g., 9.876545% (or ..09876545) would be rounded to 9.87655% (or .0987655)), and all Dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculation on the Securities shall be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upward).

The Rate of Interest in effect on each day that is not an Interest Reset Date (as defined below) shall be the Rate of Interest determined as of the Interest Determination Date (as

A-4

defined below) in respect of the next preceding Interest Reset Date. The Rate of Interest in effect on each day that is an Interest Reset Date shall be the Rate of Interest determined as of the Interest Determination Date in respect of such Interest Reset Date.

(b) The Calculation Agent shall reset the Rate of Interest on each Interest Payment Date and on April 11, 2006 (each, an “Interest Reset Date”). On the second London Business Day (or, for purposes of the third sentence of paragraph (c) below, the Business Day) next preceding each Interest Reset Date (each, an “Interest Determination Date”), U.S. Bank National Association, or its successor in this capacity (the “Calculation Agent”), shall calculate the Rate of Interest for the following Interest Period as, subject to the provisions described below, the rate per annum equal to the rate for deposits in United States dollars having a maturity of three months commencing on the first day of such Interest Period that appears on the Telerate Page (as defined below) as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on such Interest Determination Date. “London Business Day” means any day on which dealings in United States dollars are transacted in the London interbank market.

(c) If no such rate appears on the Telerate Page as specified in paragraph (b) above, the Calculation Agent shall request the principal London offices of each of four major reference banks in the London interbank market, as selected by the Calculation Agent (after consultation with the Company), to provide the Calculation Agent with its offered quotation for deposits in United States dollars for the period of three months, commencing on the first day of the applicable Interest Period, to prime banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such Interest Determination Date and in a principal amount equal to an amount not less than $1,000,000 that is representative for a single transaction in United States dollars in that market at that time. If at least two quotations are provided, then LIBOR on such Interest Determination Date shall be the arithmetic mean of such quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided, then LIBOR on such Interest Determination Date shall be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted at approximately 11:00 a.m., in The City of New York, on the Interest Determination Date by three major banks in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent (after consultation with the Company) for loans in United States dollars to leading European banks, having a three-month maturity and in a principal amount equal to an amount not less than $1,000,000 that is representative for a single transaction in that market at that time. If, however, the banks selected by the Calculation Agent are not providing quotations in the manner described by the previous sentence, LIBOR determined as of such Interest Determination Date shall be LIBOR in effect on such Interest Determination Date.

“Telerate Page” means the display page designated as “Page 3750” on Moneyline Telerate, Inc., or any successor service or services as may be nominated by the British Bankers’ Association, for the purpose of displaying the London interbank rates of major banks for United States dollars.

(d) On each Interest Determination Date, the Calculation Agent shall determine the Rate of Interest and calculate the amount of interest payable in respect of the following Interest Period (the “Interest Amount”). The Interest Amount shall be calculated by applying the Rate of Interest to the principal amount of each Security outstanding at the commencement of the Interest Period, multiplying each such amount by the actual number of days in the Interest Period concerned (which actual number of days shall include the first day but exclude the last day of such Interest Period) divided by 360 and rounding the resultant figure to

A-5

the nearest cent (half a cent being rounded upwards). The determination of the Rate of Interest and the Interest Amount by the Calculation Agent shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final and binding on all parties.

(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Rate of Interest shall in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law, as the same may be modified by United States law of general application.

(f) Interest shall cease to accrue on this Security on the maturity date unless, upon presentation of this Security, payment of principal is improperly withheld or refused, in which case, interest shall continue to accrue.

3. Calculation Agent. So long as any of the Securities remain outstanding, the Company shall maintain under appointment a Calculation Agent, which shall initially be the Trustee (as defined below), for the purpose of the Securities. If the Trustee shall be unable or unwilling to continue to act as Calculation Agent or if the Calculation Agent fails to calculate properly the Rate of Interest for any Interest Period, the Company shall appoint another leading commercial or investment bank engaged in the London interbank market to act as the Calculation Agent. The Company may change the Calculation Agent without notice. The Calculation Agent may not resign in its duties, and the Company may not change the Calculation Agent, without a successor Calculation Agent having been appointed that meets the requirements of this paragraph.

All certificates, communications, opinions, determinations, calculations, quotations and decisions given, expressed, made or obtained for the purposes of the provisions hereof relating to the payment and calculation of interest on the Securities, whether by the reference banks referred to in paragraph 2(c) above (or any of them) or the Calculation Agent, shall (in the absence of manifest error) be binding on the Company, the Calculation Agent and all of the holders and owners of beneficial interests in this Securities, and no liability shall (in the absence of manifest error) attach to the Calculation Agent in connection with the exercise or non-exercise by it of its powers, duties and discretions.

4. Method of Payment. The Company will pay interest on the Securities (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Securities at the close of business on the Record Date next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Securities are canceled after such Record Date and on or before such Interest Payment Date. The Holder must surrender this Security to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Company will pay the principal of, premium (if any) on and interest on the Securities in money of the United States of America that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Such amounts shall be payable at the offices of the Trustee, provided that at the option of the Company, the Company may pay such amounts (1) by wire transfer with respect to Global Securities or (2) by check payable in such money mailed to a Holder’s registered address with respect to any Securities.

5. Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, U.S. Bank National Association (the “Trustee”), the trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent, Registrar, co-registrar or additional paying agent

A-6

without notice to any Holder. The Company, any Guarantor or any Subsidiary may act in any such capacity.

6. Guarantee. ConocoPhillips, a Delaware corporation, and ConocoPhillips Company, a Delaware corporation (collectively, the “Guarantors”), jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantee to the Holders from time to time of the Securities, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture (as defined below), (a) the full and prompt payment of the principal of and any premium on the Securities when and as the same shall become due, whether at the Stated Maturity thereof, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and (b) the full and prompt payment of any interest on the Securities when and as the same shall become due, subject to any applicable grace period. The Guarantee constitutes a guarantee of payment and not of collection. In the event of a default in the payment of principal of or any premium on the Securities when and as the same shall become due, whether at the Stated Maturity thereof, by acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, or in the event of a default in the payment of any interest on the Securities when and as the same shall become due, each of the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities shall have the right to proceed first and directly against the Guarantors under the Indenture without first proceeding against the Company or exhausting any other remedies which the Trustee or such Holder may have and without resorting to any other security held by it.

7. Indenture. The Company issued the Securities under an Indenture, dated as of April 11, 2006 (the “Indenture”), among the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee. The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “TIA”), as in effect on the date of execution of the Indenture. The Securities are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of such terms and for the definitions of capitalized terms used but not defined herein. The Securities are unsecured general obligations of the Company limited to $1,250,000,000 in aggregate principal amount; provided, however, that the authorized aggregate principal amount of the Securities may be increased before or after the issuance of any Securities by a Board Resolution (or action pursuant to a Board Resolution) to such effect; provided further, however, that the authorized aggregate principal amount of the Securities may be increased only if the additional Securities issued will be fungible with the original Securities for United States federal income tax purposes. The Indenture provides for the issuance of other series of debt securities (including the Securities, the “Debt Securities”) thereunder.

8. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Securities are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. The transfer of Securities may be registered and Securities may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. Neither the Company, the Trustee nor the Registrar shall be required to register the transfer or exchange of (a) any Security selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part, or (b) any Security during the period beginning 15 Business Days before the mailing of notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed and ending at the close of business on the day of mailing.

A-7

9. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of a Security shall be treated as its owner for all purposes.

10. Redemption. The Securities are subject to redemption, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at the option of the Company, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice as provided in the Indenture, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date.

11. Amendments and Waivers. Subject to certain exceptions and limitations, the Indenture or the Securities may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Debt Securities of all series affected by such amendment or supplement (acting as one class), and any existing or past Default or Event of Default under, or compliance with any provision of, the Indenture may be waived (other than any continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium (if any) on or interest on the Securities) by the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Debt Securities of any series or of all series (acting as one class) in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. Without the consent of any Holder, the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture or the Securities or waive any provision of either: (i) to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency; (ii) if required, to provide for the assumption of the obligations of the Company or a Guarantor under the Indenture in the case of the merger, consolidation or sale, conveyance, transfer or other disposition of any of the properties or assets of the Company or sale, conveyance, lease, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor, as applicable; (iii) to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated Securities or to provide for the issuance of bearer Securities (with or without coupons); (iv) to provide any security for, or to add any guarantees of or additional obligors on, the Securities or the related Guarantees; (v) to comply with any requirement in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA; (vi) to add to the covenants of the Company or any Guarantor for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities, or to surrender any right or power conferred by the Indenture upon the Company or any Guarantor; (vii) to add any additional Events of Default with respect to all or any series of the Debt Securities; (viii) to change or eliminate any of the provisions of the Indenture, provided that no outstanding Security is adversely affected in any material respect; (ix) to supplement any of the provisions of the Indenture to such extent as shall be necessary to permit or facilitate the defeasance and discharge of the Securities pursuant to the Indenture; or (x) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment under the Indenture by a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities and to add to or change any of the provisions of the Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts thereunder by more than one Trustee, pursuant to the requirements of the Indenture.

The right of any Holder to participate in any consent required or sought pursuant to any provision of the Indenture (and the obligation of the Company or any Guarantor to obtain any such consent otherwise required from such Holder) may be subject to the requirement that such Holder shall have been the Holder of record of any Securities with respect to which such consent is required or sought as of a date identified by the Company or such Guarantor in a notice furnished to Holders in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.

A-8

Without the consent of each Holder affected, the Company may not (i) reduce the amount of Debt Securities whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver; (ii) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest, including default interest, on any Security; (iii) reduce the principal of or premium on, or change the Stated Maturity of, any Security; (iv) reduce the premium, if any, payable upon the redemption of any Security or change the time at which any Security may or shall be redeemed; (v) change the coin or currency in which any Security or any premium or interest with respect thereto is payable; (vi) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment of principal of or premium (if any) or interest on any Security, except as provided in the Indenture; (vii) make any change in the percentage of principal amount of Debt Securities necessary to waive compliance with certain provisions of the Indenture or make any change in the provision for modification; (viii) waive a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of or premium (if any) or interest on the Securities or (ix) change the obligations of the Guarantors under the Guarantees in any manner materially adverse to the holders of any Debt Security issued under the Indenture.

A supplemental indenture that changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of the Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Debt Securities under the Indenture, or which modifies the rights of the Holders of Debt Securities of such series with respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under the Indenture of the Holders of Debt Securities of any other series.

12. Defaults and Remedies. Events of Default are defined in the Indenture and generally include: (i) default for 30 days in payment of any interest on the Securities; (ii) default in any payment of principal of or premium, if any, on the Securities when due and payable; (iii) default by the Company or any Guarantor in compliance with any of its other covenants or agreements in, or provisions of, the Securities or in the Indenture which shall not have been remedied within 90 days after written notice by the Trustee or by the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Securities then outstanding (or, in the event that other Debt Securities issued under the Indenture are also affected by the default, then 25% in principal amount of all outstanding Debt Securities so affected); (iv) certain events involving bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company or any Guarantor; or (v) any Guarantee of any Guarantor ceasing to be in full force and effect (other than in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and such Guarantee) or being declared null and void and unenforceable or found to be invalid in a judicial proceeding or any Guarantor denying its liability under its Guarantee (other than by reason of the release of a Guarantor from its Guarantee in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and such Guarantee). If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities (or, in the case of an Event of Default described in clause (iii) above, if outstanding Debt Securities of other series are affected by such Default, then at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Debt Securities so affected), may declare the principal of and interest on all the Securities (or such Debt Securities) to be immediately due and payable, except that in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company or any Guarantor, all outstanding Debt Securities under the Indenture become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. The amount due and payable upon the acceleration of any Security is equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the date of payment. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Securities except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may require indemnity satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture

or the Securities. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities (or affected Debt Securities) may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power.

[FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY]

CONOCOPHILLIPS AUSTRALIA FUNDING COMPANY

5.50% NOTE DUE 2013

FULLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY GUARANTEED BY

CONOCOPHILLIPS AND CONOCOPHILLIPS COMPANY

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of 5.50% Notes due 2013 (the “Securities”) of ConocoPhillips Australia Funding Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).

1. Interest. The Company promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at 5.50% per annum from April 11, 2006 until maturity. The Company will pay interest semiannually on April 15 and October 15 of each year (each an “Interest Payment Date”), or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day. Interest on the Securities will accrue from the most recent Interest Payment Date on which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from April 11, 2006; provided that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Security is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof (each, a “Record Date”) and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided, further, that the first Interest Payment Date shall be October 15, 2006. The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal and premium (if any) from time to time at a rate equal to the interest rate then in effect; it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time at the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

2. Method of Payment. The Company will pay interest on the Securities (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Securities at the close of business on the Record Date next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Securities are canceled after such Record Date and on or before such Interest Payment Date. The Holder must surrender this Security to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Company will pay the principal of, premium (if any) on and interest on the Securities in money of the United States of America that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Such amounts shall be payable at the offices of the Trustee (as defined below), provided that at the option of the Company, the Company may pay such amounts (1) by wire transfer with respect to Global Securities or (2) by check payable in such money mailed to a Holder’s registered address with respect to any Securities.

3. Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, U.S. Bank National Association (the “Trustee”), the trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent, Registrar, co-registrar or additional paying agent without notice to any Holder. The Company, any Guarantor or any Subsidiary may act in any such capacity.

B-4

4. Guarantee. ConocoPhillips, a Delaware corporation, and ConocoPhillips Company, a Delaware corporation (collectively, the “Guarantors”), jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantee to the Holders from time to time of the Securities, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture (as defined below), (a) the full and prompt payment of the principal of and any premium on the Securities when and as the same shall become due, whether at the Stated Maturity thereof, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and (b) the full and prompt payment of any interest on the Securities when and as the same shall become due, subject to any applicable grace period. The Guarantee constitutes a guarantee of payment and not of collection. In the event of a default in the payment of principal of or any premium on the Securities when and as the same shall become due, whether at the Stated Maturity thereof, by acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, or in the event of a default in the payment of any interest on the Securities when and as the same shall become due, each of the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities shall have the right to proceed first and directly against the Guarantors under the Indenture without first proceeding against the Company or exhausting any other remedies which the Trustee or such Holder may have and without resorting to any other security held by it.

5. Indenture. The Company issued the Securities under an Indenture, dated as of April 11, 2006 (the “Indenture”), among the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee. The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “TIA”), as in effect on the date of execution of the Indenture. The Securities are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of such terms and for the definitions of capitalized terms used but not defined herein. The Securities are unsecured general obligations of the Company limited to $750,000,000 in aggregate principal amount; provided, however, that the authorized aggregate principal amount of the Securities may be increased before or after the issuance of any Securities by a Board Resolution (or action pursuant to a Board Resolution) to such effect; provided further, however, that the authorized aggregate principal amount of the Securities may be increased only if the additional Securities issued will be fungible with the original Securities for United States federal income tax purposes. The Indenture provides for the issuance of other series of debt securities (including the Securities, the “Debt Securities”) thereunder.

6. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Securities are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. The transfer of Securities may be registered and Securities may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. Neither the Company, the Trustee nor the Registrar shall be required to register the transfer or exchange of (a) any Security selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part, or (b) any Security during the period beginning 15 Business Days before the mailing of notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed and ending at the close of business on the day of mailing.

7. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of a Security shall be treated as its owner for all purposes.

B-5

8. Redemption. The Securities are subject to redemption, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at the option of the Company, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice as provided in the Indenture, at a Redemption Price equal to the sum of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed and (ii) the amount, if any, by which the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments thereon, discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 10 basis points, exceeds the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to (i) the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated “H.15 (519)” or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue; provided that if no maturity is within three months before or after the Stated Maturity for the Securities, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue will be determined and the Treasury Rate will 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 such calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date. The Treasury Rate shall be calculated on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date.

“Independent Investment Banker” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Company.

B-6

“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to each Security to be redeemed, the remaining scheduled payments of the principal thereof and interest thereon that would be due after the related Redemption Date but for such redemption; provided, however, that, if such Redemption Date is not an Interest Payment Date with respect to such Security, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment thereon will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued thereon to such Redemption Date.

9. Amendments and Waivers. Subject to certain exceptions and limitations, the Indenture or the Securities may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Debt Securities of all series affected by such amendment or supplement (acting as one class), and any existing or past Default or Event of Default under, or compliance with any provision of, the Indenture may be waived (other than any continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium (if any) on or interest on the Securities) by the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Debt Securities of any series or of all series (acting as one class) in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. Without the consent of any Holder, the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture or the Securities or waive any provision of either: (i) to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency; (ii) if required, to provide for the assumption of the obligations of the Company or a Guarantor under the Indenture in the case of the merger, consolidation or sale, conveyance, transfer or other disposition of any of the properties or assets of the Company or sale, conveyance, lease, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor, as applicable; (iii) to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated Securities or to provide for the issuance of bearer Securities (with or without coupons); (iv) to provide any security for, or to add any guarantees of or additional obligors on, the Securities or the related Guarantees; (v) to comply with any requirement in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA; (vi) to add to the covenants of the Company or any Guarantor for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities, or to surrender any right or power conferred by the Indenture upon the Company or any Guarantor; (vii) to add any additional Events of Default with respect to all or any series of the Debt Securities; (viii) to change or eliminate any of the provisions of the Indenture, provided that no outstanding Security is adversely affected in any material respect; (ix) to supplement any of the provisions of the Indenture to such extent as shall be necessary to permit or facilitate the defeasance and discharge of the Securities pursuant to the Indenture; or (x) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment under the Indenture by a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities and to add to or change any of the provisions of the Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts thereunder by more than one Trustee, pursuant to the requirements of the Indenture.

B-7

such Holder shall have been the Holder of record of any Securities with respect to which such consent is required or sought as of a date identified by the Company or such Guarantor in a notice furnished to Holders in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.

10. Defaults and Remedies. Events of Default are defined in the Indenture and generally include: (i) default for 30 days in payment of any interest on the Securities; (ii) default in any payment of principal of or premium, if any, on the Securities when due and payable; (iii) default by the Company or any Guarantor in compliance with any of its other covenants or agreements in, or provisions of, the Securities or in the Indenture which shall not have been remedied within 90 days after written notice by the Trustee or by the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Securities then outstanding (or, in the event that other Debt Securities issued under the Indenture are also affected by the default, then 25% in principal amount of all outstanding Debt Securities so affected); (iv) certain events involving bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company or any Guarantor; or (v) any Guarantee of any Guarantor ceasing to be in full force and effect (other than in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and such Guarantee) or being declared null and void and unenforceable or found to be invalid in a judicial proceeding or any Guarantor denying its liability under its Guarantee (other than by reason of the release of a Guarantor from its Guarantee in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and such Guarantee). If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities (or, in the case of an Event of Default described in clause (iii) above, if outstanding Debt Securities of other series are affected by such Default, then at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Debt Securities so affected), may declare the principal of and interest on all the Securities (or such Debt Securities) to be immediately due and payable, except that in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company or any Guarantor, all outstanding Debt Securities under the Indenture become due and payable

B-8

immediately without further action or notice. The amount due and payable upon the acceleration of any Security is equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the date of payment. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Securities except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may require indemnity satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the Securities. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities (or affected Debt Securities) may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing default (except a default in payment of principal, premium or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interests. The Company and the Guarantors must furnish annual compliance certificates to the Trustee.

11. Discharge Prior to Maturity. The Indenture with respect to the Securities shall be discharged and canceled upon the payment of all of the Securities and shall be discharged except for certain obligations upon the irrevocable deposit with the Trustee of any combination of funds and U.S. Government Obligations sufficient for such payment.

12. Trustee Dealings with Company and Guarantors. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company, any Guarantor or any of their respective Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company, any Guarantor or any such Affiliates, as if it were not Trustee.

13. No Recourse Against Others. A director, officer, employee, stockholder, partner or other owner of the Company, a Guarantor or the Trustee, as such, shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Securities, for any obligations of any Guarantor under the Guarantee or for any obligations of the Company, any Guarantor or the Trustee under the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release shall be part of the consideration for the issue of Securities.

14. Authentication. This Security shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.

15. 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 Securities as a convenience to the Holders of the Securities.
