This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of debentures, notes or other evidences of indebtedness of the Company (herein called the Securities), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of May 21, 2007 (herein called the Indenture), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee (herein called the Trustee, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights thereunder of the Company, the Trustee, and the Holders of the Securities, the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered, and the definition of capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein. The Securities may be issued in one or more series, which different series may be issued in various aggregate principal amounts, may be denominated in different currencies, may mature at different times, may bear interest (if any) at different rates (which rates may be fixed or variable), may be subject to different redemption provisions (if any), may be subject to different sinking, purchase, or analogous funds (if any), may be subject to different covenants and Events of Default, and may otherwise vary as provided in the Indenture. This Note is one of a series of Securities of the Company designated as set forth on the face hereof (herein called the Notes), initially issued on (the Initial Issue Date) and initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $ .
The Notes will be redeemable at the option of the Company at any time in whole or from time to time in part in increments of $1,000, at the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and (ii) as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal of the Notes to be redeemed plus interest thereon from the Redemption Date (exclusive of interest payable on such Redemption Date) through the Scheduled Maturity Date, discounted to the Redemption Date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 0.20%, plus accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the Redemption Date, but interest payments due with respect to this Note on an Interest Payment Date or prior to the Redemption Date will be payable to the Holder of this Note at the close of business on the relevant Record Date. The Company may exercise such option by causing the Trustee to mail a notice of such redemption, at least 30 but not more than 60 calendar days prior to the date of redemption, in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture.
Comparable Treasury Issue means the United States Treasury security selected by the Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes 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 Notes.
Comparable Treasury Price means with respect to any redemption date for the notes (i) the average of five Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer than five such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.
Independent Investment Banker means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Company.
Reference Treasury Dealer means each of any five primary U.S. Government securities dealers in the United States of America selected by the Company.
Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, 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 Independent Investment Banker by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 3:30 p.m. New York City time on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date.
Treasury Rate means, with respect to any Redemption Date, (i) the yield, under the heading which

represents the average for the week immediately prior to the third New York Business Day before such Redemption Date, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated H.15(519) or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Federal Reserve 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 remaining term of the Notes (if no maturity is within three months before or after such remaining term, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to such remaining term shall be determined and the 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 third New York Business Day before such Redemption Date or does not contain such yields, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue for the Notes, 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 Trustee will not be responsible for calculating the Redemption Price of the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.
Notice of any redemption will be transmitted at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed (or delivered electronically in accordance with the procedures of DTC). If fewer than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the particular Notes to be redeemed, in the case of Notes in global form, shall be selected in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary. In the case of physical Notes in definitive form such selection shall be done by the Trustee by lot. If any Note is to be redeemed only in part, the notice of redemption that relates to such Note shall state the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Note in principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Note surrendered may be issued in the name of the Holder of the Note upon surrender of the original Note.
The Company agreed with certain dealer managers pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement dated as of November 9, 2018, a copy of which may be obtained from the Company, to offer to deliver this Note in exchange for a like principal amount of the Companys 5.50% Senior Notes due 2035, Series A (the Old Exchange Notes) previously issued under the Indenture.

The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences.
