RECITALS OF THE COMPANY

     The Company has heretofore delivered to the Trustee an Indenture dated as of March 1, 2002 (the “Senior Indenture”) providing for the issuance from time to time of Debt Securities of the Company (the “Debt Securities”).

     Section 3.01 of the Senior Indenture provides that various matters with respect to any series of Debt Securities issued under the Senior Indenture may be established in an indenture supplemental to the Senior Indenture.

     Section 12.01(f) of the Senior Indenture provides for the Company and the Trustee to enter into an indenture supplemental to the Senior Indenture to establish the form or terms of Debt Securities of any series as contemplated by Sections 2.01 and 3.01 of the Senior Indenture.

     All the conditions and requirements necessary to make this Supplemental Indenture, when duly executed and delivered, a valid and legally binding agreement in accordance with its terms and for the purposes herein expressed, have been performed and fulfilled.

     NOW, THEREFORE, THIS INDENTURE WITNESSETH:

     For and in consideration of the premises and the purchase of the series of Debt Securities provided for herein by the Holders thereof, it is mutually covenanted and agreed, for the equal and proportionate benefit of all Holders of the series of Debt Securities provided for herein, as follows:

ARTICLE ONE

RELATION TO SENIOR INDENTURE; DEFINITIONS

     SECTION 1.1. RELATION TO SENIOR INDENTURE. This Supplemental Indenture constitutes an integral part of the Senior Indenture.

     SECTION 1.2. DEFINITIONS. (a) For all purposes of this Supplemental Indenture, except as otherwise expressly provided for or unless the context otherwise requires:

     (1) Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Senior Indenture; and

     (2) All references herein to Articles and Sections, unless otherwise specified, refer to the corresponding Articles and Sections of this Supplemental Indenture.

     (b) The following definitions applicable to the series of Debt Securities provided for herein shall be in addition to those indicated in Section 1.01 of the Senior Indenture:

     “Adjusted Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, 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 U.S. Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities” for the maturity corresponding to the Optional Redemption Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity is within three months before or after the remaining term of the Notes, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Optional Redemption Comparable Treasury Issue will be determined and the Adjusted Treasury Rate will be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month); or 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 semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the Optional Redemption Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Optional Redemption Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Optional Redemption Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date.

     “Independent Investment Banker” means UBS Securities LLC or, if such firm is unwilling or unable to serve as such, an independent investment and banking institution of national standing appointed by the Company.

     “Optional Redemption Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of up to five dealers to be selected by the Company, and their respective successors; provided that if any of the foregoing ceases to be, and has no affiliate that is, a primary U.S. governmental securities dealer (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company will substitute for it another Primary Treasury Dealer.

     “Optional Redemption Comparable Treasury Issue” means the U.S. Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Notes or, if, in the reasonable judgment of the Independent Investment Banker, there is no such security, then the Optional Redemption Comparable Treasury Issue will mean the U.S. Treasury security or securities selected by the Independent Investment Banker as having an actual or interpolated maturity or maturities comparable to the remaining term of the Notes.

     “Optional Redemption Comparable Treasury Price” means (1) the average of five Optional Redemption Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for the applicable Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest Optional Redemption Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer than five such Optional Redemption Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.

     “Optional Redemption Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Optional Redemption Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date for the Notes, the average, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker of the bid and asked prices for the Optional Redemption Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Independent Investment Banker and the Trustee at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date.

This Debt Security is one of the duly authorized series of Debt Securities designated on the face hereof, and the aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities to be issued under such series is initially limited to $500,000,000, subject to the Company’s right to increase such limit as provided in the Indenture (except for Debt Securities authenticated and delivered upon transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of other Debt Securities). All terms used in this Debt Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

Furthermore, provisions in the Indenture permit the Holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount, in certain instances, of the Outstanding Debt Securities of any series to waive, on behalf of all of the Holders of Debt Securities of such series, certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Debt Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Debt Security and other Debt Securities issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Debt Security.

     No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Debt Security 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 Debt Security at the times, places and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

     As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein and herein set forth, this Debt Security is exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Debt Securities of different authorized denominations but otherwise having the same terms and conditions, as requested by the Holder hereof surrendering the same.

     The Debt Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof.

     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.
