Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to following the Company’s signature hereto by manual signature, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

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 15, 1998 (such instrument as originally executed and delivered and as supplemented or amended from time to time, the “Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (formerly known as The Chase Manhattan Bank), as Trustee (the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a description 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.
The Company may redeem all or any portion of the Securities of this series, at its option, at any time or from time to time, (A) prior to September 1, 2048, at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (a) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities of this series being redeemed on the Redemption Date or (b) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Securities of this series being redeemed on that Redemption Date that would be due if the Securities of this series matured on September 1, 2048 (not including the portion of any payments of interest accrued to the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semiannual basis at the Adjusted Treasury Rate plus 20 basis points, as determined by a Reference Treasury Dealer appointed by the Company for such purpose; and (B) on or after September 1, 2048, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities of this series being redeemed on the Redemption Date; plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on Securities of this series 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 relevant record date in accordance with the terms of the Securities of this series and the Indenture. The Redemption Price will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.
If notice has been given as provided in the Indenture and funds for the redemption of any Securities of this series (or any portion thereof) called for redemption shall have been made available on the Redemption Date referred to in such notice, such Securities (or any portion thereof) will cease to bear interest on the date fixed for such redemption specified in such notice and the only right of the Holders of such Securities will be to receive payment of the Redemption Price.
Notice of any optional redemption of Securities of this series (or any portion thereof) will be given to Holders at their addresses, as shown in the Security Register for such Securities, not more than 60 nor less than 10 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. The notice of redemption will specify, among other items, (i) the Redemption Price or the manner of calculation of the Redemption Price and (ii) the principal amount of the Securities of this series held by such Holder to be redeemed if less than all of such Securities. If less than all of the Securities of this series are to be redeemed at the option of the Company, the Securities to be redeemed will be selected in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary.

“Adjusted Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any applicable Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming 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.
“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the U.S. Treasury security selected by a Reference Treasury Dealer appointed by the Company for such purpose as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of this Security to be redeemed (assuming for this purpose that such Security
matured on September 1, 2048) 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 such Security (assuming for this purpose that such Security matured on September 1, 2048).

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means (A) each of Barclays Capital Inc., Mizuho Securities USA LLC, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and a Primary Treasury Dealer selected by SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc.; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a Primary Treasury Dealer, the Company will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer; and (B) any other Primary Treasury Dealer(s) selected by the Company.

The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the affected Securities at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all such Securities, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences.

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.
