[Reverse of Security]

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of January 30, 2001 as heretofore supplemented and as supplemented by the Fifth supplemental indenture dated as of [                ], 2015 (herein called the “Indenture”, which then shall have the meaning assigned to it in such instrument) between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, formerly The Bank of New York, as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., formerly JPMorgan Chase Bank, formerly The Chase Manhattan Bank, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $[                ].

At the Company’s option, the Securities of this series may be redeemed in whole or in part at any time and from time to time (each, a “Redemption Date”). The redemption price (the “Redemption Price”) of the Securities will be equal to the greater of the following amounts:

(a) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities being redeemed on the applicable Redemption Date, and

(b) the sum of the present value of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Securities being redeemed on such Redemption Date (not including the amount, if any, of accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, such Redemption Date) discounted to such Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis at the Treasury Rate (as defined below), as determined by the Independent Investment Banker (as defined below), plus 25 basis points;

plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities being redeemed to, but excluding, such Redemption Date.

The Redemption Price will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Once notice of redemption is mailed by the Company, the Securities called for redemption will become due and payable on the applicable Redemption Date at the applicable Redemption Price.

Notice of any redemption of the Securities shall be given in the manner and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of Section 1104 of the Indenture; provided, however, that notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 10 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, at his address appearing in the Security Register, and that any such notice in lieu of stating the applicable Redemption Price, shall state the manner in which such Redemption Price shall be calculated. If the Company has given notice of redemption as provided in the Indenture and funds for the redemption of the Securities called for redemption have been made available on the Redemption Date referred to in that notice, such Securities will cease to bear interest on such Redemption Date (unless the Company defaults in the payment of the applicable Redemption Price and accrued and unpaid interest). Any interest accrued to such Redemption Date will be paid as specified in such notice.

Comparable Treasury Price” means (A) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for the applicable Redemption Date and applicable Securities to be redeemed, after excluding the highest and lowest of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (B) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (C) if only one Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation is received, such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation.

(or their respective affiliates that are Primary Treasury Dealers), and their respective successors, and any two other nationally recognized investment banking firms appointed by the Company from time to time that are primary U.S. government securities dealers in the United States (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”); provided, however, that if any of the firms named in the preceding sentence shall cease to be a Primary Treasury Dealer, the Company will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer.

Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date and Securities to be redeemed, the average, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue for such Securities (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 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the third business day preceding such Redemption Date.

Treasury Rate” means the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for such Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the applicable Comparable Treasury Price for the applicable Redemption Date.

In connection with any such redemption, each Reference Treasury Dealer shall deliver the Comparable Treasury Price to the Company and the Independent Investment Banker in writing two Business Days prior to the Redemption Date. The Company shall deliver an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee two Business Days prior to the Redemption Date setting forth the calculation of the Redemption Price applicable to such redemption.

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

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of all series at the time Outstanding affected thereby (voting as one class). The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series, with respect to which any default under the Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing (voting as one class), on behalf of the Holders of all the Outstanding Securities of such series, to waive, with certain exceptions, such past default with respect to such series and its consequences. The Indenture also permits the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, on behalf of the Holders of all Outstanding Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registerable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of

 

A-6


and any premium and interest on this Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested in writing by the Holder surrendering the same.

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

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

All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

No recourse for the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any Security, or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Company in the Indenture or in any supplemental indenture, or in this Security, or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented hereby, shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or any successor corporation, either directly or through the Company or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly understood that all such liability was expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as consideration for, the execution of the Indenture and is a condition of, and is consideration for, the execution of this Security.

The Indenture also permits the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, on behalf of the Holders of all Outstanding Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture.

The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of January 30, 2001 as heretofore supplemented and as supplemented by the Fifth supplemental indenture dated as of [                ], 2015 (herein called the “Indenture”, which then shall have the meaning assigned to it in such instrument) between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, formerly The Bank of New York, as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., formerly JPMorgan Chase Bank, formerly The Chase Manhattan Bank, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $[                ].

At the Company’s option, the Securities of this series may be redeemed in whole or in part at any time and from time to time (each, a “Redemption Date”). The redemption price (the “Redemption Price”) of the Securities will be equal to the greater of the following amounts:

(a) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities being redeemed on the applicable Redemption Date, and

(b) the sum of the present value of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Securities being redeemed on such Redemption Date (not including the amount, if any, of accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, such Redemption Date) discounted to such Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis at the Treasury Rate (as defined below), as determined by the Independent Investment Banker (as defined below), plus 50 basis points;

plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities being redeemed to, but excluding, such Redemption Date.

The Redemption Price will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Once notice of redemption is mailed by the Company, the Securities called for redemption will become due and payable on the applicable Redemption Date at the applicable Redemption Price.

Notice of any redemption of the Securities shall be given in the manner and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of Section 1104 of the Indenture; provided, however, that notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 10 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, at his address appearing in the Security Register, and that any such notice in lieu of stating the applicable Redemption Price, shall state the manner in which such Redemption Price shall be calculated. If the Company has given notice of redemption as provided in the Indenture and funds for the redemption of the Securities called for redemption have been made available on the Redemption Date referred to in that notice, such Securities will cease to bear interest on such Redemption Date (unless the Company defaults in the payment of the applicable Redemption Price and accrued and unpaid interest). Any interest accrued to such Redemption Date will be paid as specified in such notice.

Comparable Treasury Price” means (A) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for the applicable Redemption Date and applicable Securities to be redeemed, after excluding the highest and lowest of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (B) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (C) if only one Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation is received, such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation.

(or their respective affiliates that are Primary Treasury Dealers), and their respective successors, and any two other nationally recognized investment banking firms appointed by the Company from time to time that are primary U.S. government securities dealers in the United States (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”); provided, however, that if any of the firms named in the preceding sentence shall cease to be a Primary Treasury Dealer, the Company will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer.

Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date and Securities to be redeemed, the average, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue for such Securities (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 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the third business day preceding such Redemption Date.

Treasury Rate” means the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for such Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the applicable Comparable Treasury Price for the applicable Redemption Date.

In connection with any such redemption, each Reference Treasury Dealer shall deliver the Comparable Treasury Price to the Company and the Independent Investment Banker in writing two Business Days prior to the Redemption Date. The Company shall deliver an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee two Business Days prior to the Redemption Date setting forth the calculation of the Redemption Price applicable to such redemption.

The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.
