“Junior Indebtedness” means Indebtedness, which specifically by its terms ranks junior to and not equally with or prior to the Notes (and any other Pari Passu Indebtedness) in right of payment upon the Company’s dissolution, winding-up, liquidation, reorganization or similar events; provided that, the securing of any Indebtedness otherwise constituting Junior Indebtedness shall not be deemed to prevent such Indebtedness from constituting Junior Indebtedness.

“Optional Deferral Period” means the period commencing on an Interest Payment Date with respect to which the Company elects or is deemed to elect to defer interest pursuant to Section 2.1(e) and ending on the earlier of (i) the fifth anniversary of that Interest Payment Date and (ii) the next Interest Payment Date on which the Company has paid all deferred and unpaid amounts, including Compound Interest, if any, on such deferred amounts, and all other accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes; provided, that no Optional Deferral Period shall extend beyond the Maturity Date, any earlier accelerated maturity date arising from an Event of Default or any other earlier redemption in full of the Notes.

“Pari Passu Indebtedness” means Indebtedness, which specifically by its terms ranks equally with and not prior to the Notes in right of payment upon the Company’s dissolution, winding-up, liquidation, reorganization or similar events; provided that, the securing of any Indebtedness otherwise constituting Pari Passu Indebtedness shall not be deemed to prevent such Indebtedness from constituting Pari Passu Indebtedness.

“Rating Agency” means, as of any date of determination, any nationally recognized statistical rating organization within the meaning of Section 3(a)(62) of the Exchange Act that publishes a rating for the Company as of such date.

“Rating Agency Event” means that a Rating Agency amends, clarifies or changes the criteria it uses for awarding equity credit to securities such as the Notes, which amendment, clarification, or change results in (i) the shortening of the length of time the Notes are assigned a particular level of equity credit by such Rating Agency as compared to the length of time they would have been assigned that level of equity credit by such Rating Agency or its predecessor on the original issue date of the Notes; or (ii) the lowering of the equity credit (including up to a lesser amount) assigned to the Notes by such Rating Agency as compared to the equity credit that such Rating Agency or its predecessor assigned to the Notes on the original issue date of the Notes.

“Redemption Price,” when used with respect to any Note to be redeemed, means the price at which it is to be redeemed pursuant to this Supplemental Indenture.

“Regular Record Date” has the meaning set forth in Section 2.1(f).

“Regulatory Capital Event” means that the Company becomes subject to capital adequacy supervision by a capital regulator and the capital adequacy guidelines that apply to the Company as a result of being so subject set forth criteria pursuant to which the full principal amount of the Notes would not qualify as capital under such capital adequacy guidelines, as the Company may determine at any time, in its sole discretion.

“Securities” has the meaning set forth in the Recitals hereto.

“Supplemental Indenture” has the meaning set forth in the first paragraph of this Supplemental Indenture.

“Tax Event” means the receipt by the Company of an opinion of counsel, rendered by a law firm of nationally recognized standing that is experienced in such matters, stating that, as a result of any:

(i)    amendment to, or change in (including any promulgation, enactment, execution or modification of), the laws (or any regulations under those laws) of the United States or any political subdivision thereof or therein affecting taxation;

(ii)    official administrative pronouncement (including a private letter ruling, technical advice memorandum or similar pronouncement), judicial decision, administrative action or other official pronouncement interpreting or applying the laws or regulations enumerated in clause (i) above, by any court, governmental agency or regulatory authority; or

(iii)    threatened challenge asserted in writing in connection with an audit of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or a threatened challenge asserted in writing against any taxpayer that has raised capital through the issuance of securities that are substantially similar to the Notes,

which amendment or change is enacted or effective or which pronouncement or decision is announced or which challenge is asserted or becomes publicly known on or after the original issue date of the Notes, there is more than

an insubstantial increase in the risk that interest accruable or payable by the Company on the Notes is not, or will not be, deductible by the Company, in whole or in part, for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Section 2.1    Terms of Notes. Pursuant to Sections 2.1(a) and 2.3(b) of the Original Indenture, there is hereby established a series of Securities, the terms of which shall be as follows:

(a)    Designation. The Securities shall be known and designated as the “7.300% Junior Subordinated Notes due 2065” (the “Notes”) of the Company.

(b)    Form and Denominations. The Notes will be issued only in fully registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $25 and integral multiples of $25 in excess thereof. The Notes will initially be issued in the form of one or more Global Certificates substantially in the form set forth in Annex A hereto, which Global Certificates shall constitute Global Certificates, with such modifications thereto as may be approved by the Officer executing the same, which shall be deposited on behalf of the purchasers of the Notes represented thereby with the Trustee as custodian for DTC (the “Depositary”) and registered in the name of Cede & Co., the Depositary’s nominee, duly executed by the Company, and, upon receipt of a written order of the Company and other documents required under the Original Indenture, authenticated by the Trustee. In limited circumstances, the Notes may be represented by Definitive Certificates. The Notes will be denominated in Dollars and payments of principal and interest will be made in Dollars.

(c)    Maturity Date. The principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest (including Compound Interest, if any) on, the Notes shall be payable in full on January 15, 2065, or if such day is not a Business Day, the following Business Day (the “Maturity Date”).

(d)    Interest. Subject to applicable law and subject to any Optional Deferral Period, the Notes will bear interest at a rate of 7.300% per year. Interest on the Notes will accrue from and including January 13, 2025 (or the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest on the Notes has been paid or made available for payment) and will be payable quarterly in arrears on January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on April 15, 2025 (each such date, an “Interest Payment Date”), and at the Maturity Date. Each interest payment due on an Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date will include interest accrued from and including the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest on the Notes has been paid or made available for payment (or, if no interest has been paid, January 13, 2025) to, but excluding, the next Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date or any Redemption Date, as the case may be, subject to the Company’s right to defer the payment of interest on the Notes in accordance with Section 2.1(e). Interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. If any Interest Payment Date falls on a date that is not a Business Day, such payment of interest (or principal in the case of the Maturity Date) will be postponed until the next succeeding Business Day, but no interest or other amount will be paid as a result of any such postponement, and such payment will have the same force and effect as if made on the scheduled Interest Payment Date.

(e)    Interest Deferral. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to defer the interest payable on the Notes for one or more Optional Deferral Periods, each of up to five consecutive years, without giving rise to an Event of Default. Whether or not notice pursuant to pursuant to the next succeeding paragraph is given, if the Company shall fail to pay interest payable on the Notes on any Interest Payment Date, the Company shall be deemed to elect to defer payment of such interest on such Interest Payment Date, unless the Company shall pay such interest in full within five Business Days after any such Interest Payment Date. If the Company shall have paid all deferred interest (including Compound Interest, if any) on the Notes, the Company shall have the right to elect to begin a new Optional Deferral Period pursuant to this Section 2.1(e). During an Optional Deferral Period, interest, the payment of which has been deferred pursuant to this Section 2.1(e), will continue to accrue at the rate set forth in Section 2.1(d), compounded quarterly for each quarterly period of such Optional Deferral Period (“Compound Interest”), to the extent permitted by

applicable law, until paid. No interest otherwise due on the Notes during an Optional Deferral Period will be due and payable on the Notes until the end of such Optional Deferral Period, except upon an acceleration or redemption in full of the Notes during such Optional Deferral Period. On the fifth anniversary of the first Interest Payment Date during any Optional Deferral Period, the Company must pay all accrued and unpaid deferred interest (including Compound Interest, if any), on the Notes, and the Company’s failure to pay all such accrued and unpaid deferred interest for a period of 30 days shall constitute an Event of Default. The Company shall pay all accrued and unpaid deferred interest, including Compound Interest, if any, on the Notes in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.7 of the Original Indenture applicable to defaulted interest.

The Company shall provide written notice to the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes of its election to commence or continue any Optional Deferral Period at least one Business Day and not more than sixty Business Days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date. Notice of the Company’s election to commence or continue an Optional Deferral Period shall either be mailed to the registered address of each Holder of the Notes or provided by electronic mail or facsimile, or by such other notice method permitted by the Original Indenture, to the Trustee for transmission to the Depositary or its nominee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of the Company to provide notice in accordance with this Section 2.1(e) of its election to commence or continue any Optional Deferral Period, including any deemed election as provided in this Section 2.1(e), shall not affect the validity of such deferral hereunder and shall not constitute an Event of Default.

(f)    To Whom Interest Is Payable. Interest on each Interest Payment Date shall be payable to the Person in whose name the Notes are registered at the close of business on the regular record date for such Interest Payment Date, which regular record date shall be the January 1, April 1, July 1 or October 1 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date (each, a “Regular Record Date”); provided, however, that interest due on the Maturity Date or any Redemption Date (in each case, whether or not an Interest Payment Date) will be paid to the Person to whom principal of such Notes is payable (subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on any Interest Payment Date preceding the Maturity Date or Redemption Date).

(g)    Sinking Fund; Holder Repurchase Right. The Notes shall not be subject to any sinking fund or analogous provision or be redeemable at the option of the Holders.

(b)    The Company may redeem the Notes at its option:

(i)    in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time on and after January 15, 2030, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon (including Compound Interest, if any) to, but excluding, the Redemption Date;

(ii)    within 90 days of the occurrence of a Tax Event, in whole but not in part, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon (including Compound Interest, if any) to, but excluding, the Redemption Date;

(iii)    within 90 days of the occurrence of a Regulatory Capital Event, in whole but not in part, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon (including Compound Interest, if any) to, but excluding, the Redemption Date; or

(iv)    within 90 days of the occurrence of a Rating Agency Event, in whole but not in part, at a Redemption Price equal to 102% of the principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and

unpaid interest thereon (including Compound Interest, if any) to, but excluding, the Redemption Date;

provided, that no partial redemption pursuant to Section 2.2(b)(i) shall be effected unless (x) at least $25,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Notes (excluding any Notes held by the Company or its affiliates) shall remain Outstanding after giving effect to such redemption and (y) all accrued and unpaid interest, including deferred interest (and Compound Interest, if any), on the Notes shall have been paid in full on all Outstanding Notes for all Interest Payment Dates occurring on or before the Redemption Date.

(c)    Notwithstanding Section 2.2(b), installments of interest on the Notes that are due and payable on Interest Payment Dates falling on or prior to a Redemption Date will be payable on the Interest Payment Date to the Holders as of the close of business on the Regular Record Date.

(d)    Notice of any redemption (which may be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of a corporate transaction that is pending (such as an equity or equity-linked offering, an incurrence of indebtedness or an acquisition or other strategic transaction involving a change of control in the Company)) shall be given not less than 10 days and not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed. Any notice delivered pursuant to this Section 2.2(d) shall either be mailed to the registered address of each Holder of the Notes or provided by electronic mail or facsimile, or by such other notice method permitted by the Original Indenture, to the Trustee for transmission to the Depositary or its nominee. If the redemption or notice of redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, the notice of redemption shall state that, in the Company’s discretion, the Redemption Date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied (or waived by the Company in its sole discretion), or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied (or waived by the Company in its sole discretion) by the Redemption Date or by the Redemption Date so delayed.

(e)    The notice of redemption with respect to any redemption pursuant to Article 13 of the Original Indenture need not set forth the Redemption Price, if such Redemption Price is not ascertainable, but only the manner of calculation thereof, as described above.

(f)    The Company shall be responsible for making calculations called for under the Notes, including, but not limited to, determination of the Redemption Price, premium, if any, and any Additional Amounts or other amounts payable on the Notes. The Company will provide its calculations to the Trustee, and, absent manifest error, the Trustee is entitled to rely conclusively on the accuracy of the Company’s calculations without independent verification. The Trustee shall have no liability for any calculation or any information used in any calculation. The Company’s actions and determinations in determining the Redemption Price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(g)    Unless the Company defaults in payment of the Redemption Price and accrued and unpaid interest, on and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption and all rights under the Notes will terminate. No later than 9:00 a.m., New York time, on the Redemption Date, the Company is required to deposit with a Paying Agent or the Trustee (or, if the Company is acting as Paying Agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 3.4 of the Original Indenture) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of and accrued and unpaid interest (including Compound Interest, if any) on the Notes to be redeemed on such Redemption Date. If the Company is redeeming less than all the Notes, the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected by lot by DTC, in the case of Notes represented by a Global Certificate, or by the Trustee by a method the Trustee deems to be fair and appropriate, in the case of the Notes that are not represented by a Global Certificate. The Trustee shall not be liable for selection made by it under this Section 2.2(g). The Notes may be redeemed in part in multiples equal to not less than $25 and integral multiples of $25 in excess thereof. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Notes selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.

Section 3.1    Events of Default. The only “Events of Default” with respect to the Notes shall be the following:

(a)    default in the payment of any interest in full, including Compound Interest, if any, upon any Note on the fifth anniversary of the first Interest Payment Date during any Optional Deferral Period or on the Maturity Date, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days;

(b)    default in the payment of the principal of, and premium (if any) on, the Notes as and when the same shall become due and payable either at maturity, upon redemption, by declaration of acceleration or otherwise; and

(c)    (i) the Company, pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law, (A) commences a voluntary case or proceeding, (B) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case or proceeding or to the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding against it, (C) consents to the appointment of a Receiver of it or for its properties and assets substantially as an entirety; (D) makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (ii) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that (A) is for relief against the Company in an involuntary case, (B) appoints a Receiver of the Company or for its properties and assets substantially as an entirety, (C) orders the winding up or liquidation of the Company, (D) adjudges the Company bankrupt or insolvent or (E) approves as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or with respect to the Company, and any such order or decree described in this clause (c)(ii) remains unstayed and in effect for 90 days; provided, however, that any rights and remedies in this Supplemental Indenture arising under this Section 3.1(c) shall not be enforceable if a resolution or order for the winding up the Company with a view to a transaction in accordance with Section 9.1 of the Original Indenture has been issued and such successor Person shall, as a part of such transaction, comply with the requirements of Section 9.1 of the Original Indenture within 90 days of the date of such resolution or order.

Section 3.2    Additional Covenant with Respect to the Notes. The Company covenants and agrees with each Holder of Notes that, after the commencement of an Optional Deferral Period and until the Company has paid all accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes, the Company shall not, and shall not permit any Subsidiary of the Company to:

(a)    declare or pay any dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any shares of Capital Stock of the Company other than:

Each interest payment due on an Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date will include interest accrued from and including the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest on the Notes has been paid or made available for payment (or, if no interest has been paid, January 13, 2025) to, but excluding, the next Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date or any Redemption Date, as the case may be, subject to the Company’s right to defer the payment of interest on the Notes in accordance with the next succeeding paragraph and the Indenture. Interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. If any Interest Payment Date falls on a date that is not a Business Day, such payment of interest (or principal in the case of the Maturity Date) will be postponed until the next succeeding Business Day, but no interest or other amount will be paid as a result of any such postponement, and such payment will have the same force and effect as if made on the scheduled Interest Payment Date.

In accordance with the terms of the Indenture, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to defer the interest payable on this Note for one or more Optional Deferral Periods, each of up to five consecutive years, without giving rise to an Event of Default. Whether or not notice of the Company’s election to commence or continue any Optional Deferral Period pursuant to Indenture is given, if the Company shall fail to pay interest payable on this Note on any Interest Payment Date, the

Company shall be deemed to elect to defer payment of such interest on such Interest Payment Date, unless the Company shall pay such interest in full within five Business Days after any such Interest Payment Date. If the Company shall have paid all deferred interest (including Compound Interest (as defined below), if any) on this Note, the Company shall have the right to elect to begin a new Optional Deferral Period as provided in the Indenture. During an Optional Deferral Period, interest, the payment of which has been deferred pursuant to this paragraph and the Indenture, will continue to accrue at the rate set forth above, compounded quarterly for each quarterly period of such Optional Deferral Period (“Compound Interest”), to the extent permitted by applicable law, until paid. No interest otherwise due on this Note during an Optional Deferral Period will be due and payable hereon until the end of such Optional Deferral Period, except upon an acceleration or redemption in full of the Notes during such Optional Deferral Period. On the fifth anniversary of the first Interest Payment Date during any Optional Deferral Period, the Company must pay all accrued and unpaid deferred interest (including Compound Interest, if any), on this Note, and the Company’s failure to pay all such accrued and unpaid deferred interest for a period of 30 days shall constitute an Event of Default. The Company shall pay all accrued and unpaid deferred interest, including Compound Interest, if any, on this Note in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.7 of the Original Indenture applicable to defaulted interest.

Interest on each Interest Payment Date shall be payable to the Person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on the regular record date for such Interest Payment Date, which regular record date shall be the January 1, April 1, July 1 or October 1 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date (each, a “Regular Record Date”); provided, however, that interest due on the Maturity Date or any Redemption Date (in each case, whether or not an Interest Payment Date) will be paid to the Person to whom principal of this Note is payable (subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on any Interest Payment Date preceding the Maturity Date or Redemption Date).

Payment of the principal of, and interest and premium, if any, on this Note shall be made at the Corporate Trust Office, 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; provided that, for so long as this Note is in global form represented by this Global Certificate, all payments in respect hereof (including principal, interest and premium, if any) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner of this Global Certificate. In the event that Definitive Certificates shall have been issued, all payments of principal, interest and premium, if any, shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the wire instructions of the registered Holders thereof appearing in the Securities Register or, if no such wire instructions are specified, by mailing a check to the address of each Holder of a Definitive Certificate appearing in the Securities Register.

All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture and not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company caused this instrument to be duly executed.

This is one of the Security Certificates representing Securities of the Series designated herein and referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

This Note is one of a duly authorized issuance of securities of the Company (the “Notes”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of January 13, 2025 (the “Original Indenture”), between the Company and Citibank, N.A., as Trustee (the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor Trustee under the Indenture), as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of January 13, 2025 (the “Supplemental Indenture,” and, together with the Original Indenture, the “Indenture”), between the Company and the Trustee. Reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. 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. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act for a statement of such terms. To the maximum extent permitted by law, in the case of any conflict between the provisions of this Note and the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall control.

This Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof, initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $_________. The Company may at any time issue additional Securities under the Indenture in unlimited amounts having the same terms as the Notes (except as otherwise provided in the Indenture) so that such additional Securities shall be consolidated with the Notes, including for purposes of voting and redemption; provided, however, that the Company shall use a separate CUSIP number for any such additional Securities that (a) are not part of the same issue as the Notes within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulations sections 1.1275-1(f) and 1.1275-2(k) and (b) have, for purposes of U.S. federal income taxation, more than a de minimis amount of original issue discount as of the date of the issue of such additional Securities. Any such additional Securities shall, together with the outstanding Notes, constitute a single series of Securities under the Indenture.

The Company may redeem the Notes at its option:

(a)    in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time on and after January 15, 2030, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon (including Compound Interest, if any) to, but excluding, the Redemption Date;

(b)    within 90 days of the occurrence of a Notes Tax Event, in whole but not in part, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon (including Compound Interest, if any) to, but excluding, the Redemption Date;

(c)    within 90 days of the occurrence of a Regulatory Capital Event, in whole but not in part, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon (including Compound Interest, if any) to, but excluding, the Redemption Date; or

(d)    within 90 days of the occurrence of a Rating Agency Event, in whole but not in part, at a Redemption Price equal to 102% of the principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon (including Compound Interest, if any) to, but excluding, the Redemption Date;

provided, that no partial redemption pursuant to clause (a) above shall be effected unless (x) at least $25,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Notes (excluding any Notes held by the Company or its affiliates) shall remain Outstanding after giving effect to such redemption and (y) all accrued and unpaid interest, including deferred interest (and Compound Interest, if any), on the Notes shall have been paid in full on all Outstanding Notes for all Interest Payment Dates occurring on or before the Redemption Date.

In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes of this series and of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof;

provided that the principal amount of any such Note remaining outstanding after a redemption in part shall be $25 or any integral multiple of $25 in excess thereof.

Unless the Company defaults in payment of the Redemption Price and accrued and unpaid interest, on and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption and all rights hereunder will terminate. No later than 9:00 a.m., New York time, on any Redemption Date, the Company is required to deposit with a Paying Agent or the Trustee (or, if the Company is acting as Paying Agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 3.4 of the Original Indenture) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of and accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to be redeemed on such Redemption Date. If the Company is redeeming less than all the Notes, the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected by lot by DTC, in the case of this Global Certificate, or by the Trustee by a method the Trustee deems to be fair and appropriate, in the case of any Notes that are not represented by a Global Certificate.

The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire indebtedness of this Note and certain restrictive covenants and Events of Default with respect to this Note, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture.

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

The Indenture or the Notes of any series may be amended or supplemented, and compliance with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences may be waived, in each case as provided in the Indenture.

The Company and, by acceptance of this Note or a beneficial interest herein, the Holder of this Note agree, and any Person acquiring a beneficial interest in this Note will be deemed to have agreed, in each case, that such Person intends that this Note constitutes indebtedness and will treat this Note as indebtedness for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

The Notes will not be entitled to the benefit of a sinking fund.

As provided in, and subject to the provisions of, the Indenture, the Holder of this Note may institute an action or proceeding at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise upon or under or with respect to the Indenture, this Note, or for the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official or for any other remedy hereunder or under the Indenture only if: (i) such Holder has given to the Trustee written notice of a default and of the continuance thereof; (ii) the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding have made a written request upon the Trustee to institute such action or proceedings in its own name as trustee under the Indenture; (iii) the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding have offered to the Trustee such security or indemnity as it may require against the losses, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in connection with such action or proceedings; (iv) the Trustee, for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of security or indemnity has failed to institute any such action or proceeding; and (v) the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each series affected (with each series treated as a separate class) at the time Outstanding have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such written request. However, the right of the Holder hereof to receive payment of the principal of and any interest on this Note at the rates, in the amount and in the currency prescribed herein on or after the due dates expressed herein, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder. No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligations of the Company, which are absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the currency, prescribed herein.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, this Note may be presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange or redemption at the Place of Payment, duly endorsed, or

accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to, the Company and the Registrar for this Note, duly executed by the Holder hereof or the Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing. No service charge shall be made to the Holder for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may deem and treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered upon the Securities Register for the Notes as the owner hereof (whether or not this Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon) for all purposes, regardless of any notice to the contrary.

The Notes are issuable only in registered form in minimum denominations of $25 and integral multiples of $25 in excess thereof.
