The Company will pay interest semiannually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the Securities will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the Original Issue Date; provided that the first Interest Payment Date shall be April 1, 2015. Interest accrued on the Securities from the last Interest Payment Date before the 2025 Maturity Date shall be payable on the 2025 Maturity Date.

     (2) METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Company will pay interest on the Securities (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Securities at the close of business on the March 15 or September 15 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Securities are cancelled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.13 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest; provided that interest payable on the 2025 Maturity Date or upon redemption will be paid to the Person to whom principal is payable.

The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act (the “TIA”). The Securities are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Security conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Securities are unsecured obligations of the Company. The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of Securities that may be issued thereunder.
     (5) OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.
          (a) Prior to January 1, 2025 (three months prior to the 2025 Maturity Date), the Company may redeem all or a part of the Securities at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed and (ii) as determined by the Quotation Agent, the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Securities to be redeemed (excluding any portion of such payments of interest accrued and unpaid as of the date of redemption), discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year, consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the date of redemption.

A-4



for redemption if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Securities or a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture.

     (9) AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture or the Securities may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities affected by such modification, to add, change or eliminate any provision of, or to modify the rights of such Holders. Without the consent of any Holder of a Security, the Indenture or the Securities may be amended or supplemented to (i) effect the assumption of the Company’s obligations under the Indenture by a successor Person; (ii) to impose additional covenants and Events of Default or to add guarantees of other Persons for the benefit of the Holders; (iii) to add or change any of the provisions of the Indenture relating to the issuance or exchange of the Securities in registered form, but only if such action does not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of the Securities or related coupons in any material respect; (iv) to change or eliminate any of the provisions of the Indenture, but only if the change or elimination becomes effective when there are no outstanding Securities which are entitled to the benefit of such provision and as to which such modification would apply; (v) to secure the Securities; (vi) to supplement any of the provisions of the Indenture to permit or facilitate the defeasance and discharge of the Securities, but only if such action does not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of the Securities or related coupons in any material respect; (vii) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee and to add to or change any of the provisions of the Indenture to facilitate the administration of the trusts by more than one Trustee; (viii) to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision in the Indenture or the Securities which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision herein, or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Indenture or Securities, provided that such action pursuant to this clause (viii) shall not adversely affect the interest of the holders of outstanding Securities of any series in any material respect; (ix) to conform the text of the Indenture or the Securities to any provision of a description of such Securities appearing in a prospectus or prospectus supplement or an offering memorandum or offering circular pursuant to which such Securities were offered to the extent that such provision was intended to be a verbatim

A-5



recitation of a provision of the Indenture or the Securities; and (x) to comply with requirements of the Commission in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting Holders of specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time outstanding, on behalf of all the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences.
     (10) DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. If an Event of Default with respect to the 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.
     (11) TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH COMPANY. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee.
     (12) NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. A director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Company, as such, will not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Securities or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Securities.
     (13) AUTHENTICATION. This Security will not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.

     (15) CUSIP NUMBERS. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Securities, and the Trustee may use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of redemption, and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.
     (16) GOVERNING LAW. THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN THE INDENTURE AND THIS SECURITY WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF.
