There is hereby established three new series of Securities to be issued under the Indenture and to be designated as the Company’s 5.95% Senior Notes due 2012 (the “2012 Notes”), the Company’s 6.35% Senior Notes due 2017 (the “2017 Notes”) and the Company’s 6.80% Senior Notes due 2037 (the “2037 Notes” and collectively with the 2012 Notes and the 2017 Notes, the “Notes”). The Notes shall be substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto, in each case with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by the Indenture, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as the Company may deem appropriate or as may be required or appropriate to comply with any laws or with any rules made pursuant thereto or with the rules of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Notes may be listed or traded, or to conform to general usage, or as may, consistently with the Indenture, be determined by the officers executing such Notes, as evidenced by their execution thereof.

The Notes shall be executed, authenticated and delivered in accordance with the provisions of, and shall in all respects be subject to, the terms, conditions and covenants of the Original Indenture as supplemented by this First Supplemental Indenture (including the form of Note set forth as Exhibit A hereto (the terms of which are incorporated in and made a part of this First Supplemental Indenture for all intents and purposes)).

SECTION 2.02. Amount.

The aggregate principal amount of the Notes which may be authenticated and delivered pursuant hereto is unlimited. The Trustee shall initially authenticate and deliver Notes for original issue in initial aggregate principal amounts of up to $600,000,000 of the 2012 Notes, up to $600,000,000 of the 2017 Notes and up to $300,000,000 of the 2037 Notes upon delivery to the Trustee of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Notes. The Company may, from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the Holders of the Notes, increase the principal amount of the Notes under the Indenture and issue such increased principal amount (or any portion thereof), in which case any additional Notes so issued will have the same form and terms (other than the date of issuance and, under certain circumstances, the date from which interest thereon will begin to accrue), and will carry the same right to receive accrued and unpaid interest, as the Notes previously issued, and such additional Notes will form a single series with the Notes previously issued.

SECTION 2.03. Stated Maturity and Denominations.

The Stated Maturity of the 2012 Notes shall be June 15, 2012, of the 2017 Notes shall be June 15, 2017 and of the 2037 Notes shall be June 15, 2037. The Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of U.S. $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

SECTION 2.04. Interest and Interest Rates.

The rate or rates at which the Notes shall bear interest, the date or dates from which such interest shall accrue, the Interest Payment Dates on which any such interest shall be payable and the Regular Record Date for any interest payable on any Interest Payment Date, in each case, shall be as set forth in the form of applicable Note set forth as Exhibits A hereto.

SECTION 2.06. Optional Redemption.

At its option, the Company may redeem any series of Notes, in whole or in part, in principal amounts of $1,000 or any integral multiple thereof, at any time or from time to time, at the applicable redemption price

SECTION 2.07. Global Securities; Restrictions on Transfer and Exchange.

The Notes shall initially be issued in the form of one or more Global Securities. Such Global Securities (i) shall bear the legends applicable to Global Securities set forth in the Original Indenture (including without limitation in Section 2.4 thereof), (ii) may be exchanged in whole or in part for Securities in definitive form upon the terms and subject to the conditions provided in Section 3.5 of the Original Indenture and in this First Supplemental Indenture and (iii) shall otherwise be subject to the applicable provisions of the Indenture.

The Rule 144A Global Notes will be duly executed by the Company, authenticated by the Trustee, deposited with the Trustee (as custodian for The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), which shall act as Depository with respect to the Notes constituting Global Securities) and registered in the name of DTC or a nominee thereof.

(2) Regulation S Global Notes. Notes offered and sold in Offshore Transactions to Non-U.S. Persons (each such term to have the meaning assigned to it in Regulation S under the Securities Act (“Regulation S”)) in reliance on Regulation S will initially be issued as permanent Global Securities (the “Regulation S Global Notes”), without interest coupons, substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto. The Regulation S Global Notes will be duly executed by the Company, authenticated by the Trustee, deposited with the Trustee (as custodian for DTC) and registered in the name of DTC or a nominee thereof.

SECTION 2.08. Transfer and Exchange.

(1) Transfer and Exchange of Notes in Certificated Form. In addition to the requirements set forth in Section 3.5 of the Original Indenture, the Notes in certificated form that are Registrable Securities under the Registration Rights Agreement (the “Transfer Restricted Securities”) presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange pursuant to Section 3.5 of the Original Indenture shall be accompanied by the following additional information and documents, as applicable, upon which the Security Registrar may conclusively rely:

(a) if such Transfer Restricted Securities are being delivered to the Security Registrar by a Holder for registration in the name of such Holder, without transfer, a certification from such Holder to that effect (in substantially the form of the Exchange/Transfer Certificate included in Exhibit A hereto); or

(b) if such Transfer Restricted Securities are being transferred (1) to a QIB in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act or (2) pursuant to an exemption from registration in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act (and based upon an opinion of counsel if the Company or the Trustee so requests) or (3) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, a certification to that effect from such holder (in substantially the form of the Exchange/Transfer Certificate included in Exhibit A hereto); or

(c) if such Transfer Restricted Securities are being transferred pursuant to an exemption from registration in accordance with Rule 904 of Regulation S under the Securities Act, certifications to that effect from such Holder (in substantially the form of both (i) the Exchange/Transfer Certificate included in Exhibit A hereto and (ii) the Regulation S Certificate included in Exhibit A hereto) and an opinion of counsel to that effect if the Company or the Trustee so requests; or

		3		First Supplemental Indenture

Certificate included in Exhibit A hereto) and an opinion of counsel to that effect if the Company or the Trustee so requests.

(2) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. The transfer and exchange of the Global Notes (as defined below) or beneficial interests therein shall be effected through the Depository, upon the terms and subject to the conditions provided in Section 3.5 of the Original Indenture and Article 2 of this First Supplemental Indenture (including the restrictions on transfer set forth therein and herein) and the rules and procedures of the Depository therefor, which shall include restrictions on transfer comparable to those set forth therein and herein to the extent required by the Securities Act.

SECTION 2.09. Legends.

(1) (i) Except as permitted by the following paragraphs (2) and (3) immediately below, each certificate evidencing the Rule 144A Global Notes or Regulation S Global Notes (each, a “Global Note”) or any other Notes in certificated form (and all Notes issued in exchange therefor or substitution thereof other than the Exchange Notes (as defined below)) shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:

THIS SECURITY (OR ITS PREDECESSOR) WAS ORIGINALLY ISSUED IN A TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND THIS SECURITY MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION THEREFROM. EACH PURCHASER OF THIS SECURITY IS HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT THE SELLER OF THIS SECURITY MAY BE RELYING ON THE EXEMPTION FROM THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5 OF THE SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144A THEREUNDER.

THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE COMPANY THAT (A) THIS SECURITY MAY BE OFFERED, RESOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, ONLY (I) IN THE UNITED STATES TO A PERSON WHOM THE SELLER REASONABLY BELIEVES IS A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER (AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT) IN A TRANSACTION MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF RULE 144A, (II) TO AN INSTITUTIONAL “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” THAT, PRIOR TO SUCH TRANSFER, FURNISHES THE TRUSTEE A SIGNED LETTER CONTAINING CERTAIN REPRESENTATIONS AND AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE TRANSFER OF THIS NOTE (THE FORM OF WHICH CAN BE OBTAINED FROM THE TRUSTEE) AND, IF SUCH TRANSFER IS IN RESPECT OF AN AGGREGATE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF NOTES LESS THAN $250,000, AN OPINION OF COUNSEL ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH TRANSFER IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT, (III) OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES IN AN OFFSHORE TRANSACTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH RULE 903 OR RULE 904 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (IV) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144 THEREUNDER (IF AVAILABLE) OR (V) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, IN EACH OF CASES (I) THROUGH (IV) IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES, AND (B) THE HOLDER WILL, AND EACH SUBSEQUENT HOLDER IS REQUIRED TO, NOTIFY ANY PURCHASER OF THIS SECURITY FROM IT OF THE RESALE RESTRICTIONS REFERRED TO IN (A) ABOVE. IN ANY CASE, THE HOLDER HEREOF WILL NOT, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ENGAGE IN ANY HEDGING TRANSACTIONS WITH REGARD TO THIS SECURITY EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.

(ii) Except as permitted by the following paragraphs (2) and (3) immediately below, each certificate evidencing the Regulation S Global Notes (and all Notes issued in exchange therefor or substitution thereof other than the Exchange Notes (as defined below)) shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:


		4		First Supplemental Indenture

THIS NOTE (OR ITS PREDECESSOR) WAS ORIGINALLY ISSUED IN A TRANSACTION ORIGINALLY EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED IN THE UNITED STATES OR TO, OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OR BENEFIT OF, ANY U.S. PERSON EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND ALL APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. TERMS USED ABOVE HAVE THE MEANINGS GIVEN TO THEM IN REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.

(2) Upon any sale or transfer of a Transfer Restricted Security (including any Transfer Restricted Security represented by a Global Note) pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, which effectiveness shall be certified by the Company to the Trustee and Security Registrar upon which each may conclusively rely:

(a) in the case of any Transfer Restricted Security in definitive form, the Security Registrar shall permit the Holder thereof to exchange such Transfer Restricted Security for a Note in definitive form that does not bear the legends set forth in (1) above and rescind any restriction on the transfer of such Transfer Restricted Security; and

(b) in the case of any Transfer Restricted Security represented by a Global Note, such Transfer Restricted Security shall not be required to bear the legends set forth in (1) above if all other interests in such Global Note have been or are concurrently being sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, but such Transfer Restricted Security shall continue to be subject to the provisions of Section 3.5 of the Original Indenture and this Section 2.09 of this First Supplemental Indenture.

(3) Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon consummation of the Exchange Offer (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), the Company shall issue and, upon receipt of a Company Order in accordance with Section 3.3 of the Original Indenture, the Trustee shall authenticate Notes (“Exchange Notes”) in exchange for Notes accepted for exchange in the Exchange Offer, which Exchange Notes shall be in the form of Note attached hereto as Exhibit A but shall not bear the legends set forth in (1) above, and the Security Registrar shall rescind any restriction on the transfer of the Exchange Notes, in each case unless the Holder of Notes being transferred in the Exchange Offer is either (A) a broker-dealer tendering Notes acquired directly from the Company, (B) a Person participating in the Exchange Offer for purposes of distributing the Exchange Notes or (C) a Person who is an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act) of the Company. The Company shall identify to the Trustee such Holders of the Notes in a written certification signed by an Officer of the Company and, absent receipt of a certificate from the Company to such effect, the Trustee shall assume that there are no such Holders.

SECTION 2.10. Unconditional Guarantee.

Article Fourteen of the Original Indenture (as amended and supplemented by this First Supplemental Indenture) shall be applicable to the Notes, and accordingly, as more fully set forth in such Article Fourteen, the Guarantor fully, irrevocably, unconditionally and absolutely guarantees to the Holders of Notes and to the Trustee the due and punctual payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on the Notes, and all other Indenture Obligations, when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity, upon redemption or by declaration of acceleration or otherwise.

To further evidence the Guarantees of the Notes, the Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Guarantees in substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B hereto, in each case with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by the Indenture, shall be endorsed on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and executed by either manual or facsimile signature of an officer of the Guarantor. The Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantees of the Notes shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on any such Notes a notation relating to the Guarantees thereof.


		5		First Supplemental Indenture

SECTION 2.11. Registration Rights Agreement.

Holders of the Notes shall have the benefit of the Company’s registration obligations with respect to the Notes, and such Holders shall also have certain obligations to indemnify the Company under certain circumstances, all as more fully set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement.

SECTION 3.01. Amendments to Indenture

The amendments contained in this Section 3.01 shall apply to the Notes only and not to any other series of Securities issued under the Indenture. Such amendments shall be effective only for so long as there remain outstanding any Notes.

(a) Section 7.4 of the Original Indenture is hereby amended, subject to the preamble of this Section 3.01 and with respect to the Notes only, by (i) deleting the word “and” at the end of clause (b) of such Section, (ii) deleting the period at the end of clause (c) of such Section and inserting the word “and” at the end of such clause, and (iii) inserting the following text immediately after such clause (c):

(b) The Original Indenture is hereby amended, subject to the preamble of this Section 3.01 and with respect to the Notes only, by adding the following as a new Section 10.10 thereto:

Section 10.10 Repurchase at the Option of Holders

(a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, Holders of Securities will have the right to require the Company to make an offer (the “Change of Control Offer”) to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of their Securities at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Securities repurchased, to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, the Company will mail a notice to each Holder of Securities describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and stating:

(1) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 10.10 and that all Securities tendered will be accepted for payment;

(2) the purchase price and the purchase date, which shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”);

(3) that any Securities not tendered will continue to accrue interest;

(4) that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Securities accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest after the Change of Control Payment Date;

(5) that Holders electing to have any Securities repurchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender the Securities, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Securities completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date;


		6		First Supplemental Indenture

(6) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of business on the second Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile, transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of Securities delivered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have the Securities purchased; and

(7) that Holders whose Securities are being purchased only in part will be issued new Securities equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Securities surrendered, which unpurchased portion must be equal to $2,000 in principal amount or in any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Securities as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 10.10 (or compliance with this Section 10.10 would constitute a violation of any such laws or regulations), the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 10.10 by virtue of such conflicts.

(b) On or before the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will be required, to the extent lawful, to:

(1) accept for payment all Securities or portions of Securities properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

(2) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Securities or portions of Securities properly tendered; and

(3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Securities properly accepted.

The Paying Agent will promptly mail (but in any case not later than five days after the Change of Control Payment Date) to each Holder of Securities properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Securities, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Security equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Securities surrendered, if any; provided that each new Security will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Company will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.

If Holders of not less than 95% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities validly tender and do not withdraw such Securities in a Change of Control Offer and the Company, or any third party making a Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Company as described below, purchases all of the Securities validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Company will have the right, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following such purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer described above, to redeem all Securities that remain outstanding following such purchase at a redemption price in cash equal to the applicable Change of Control Payment plus, to the extent not included in the Change of Control Payment, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.10, the Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control Triggering Event if (1) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 10.10 and purchases all Securities properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer, or (2) notice

[REVERSE OF NOTE]

WEATHERFORD INTERNATIONAL, INC.

[ ]% Senior Note due [ ]

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Company (which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to) designated as its [ ]% Senior Notes due [ ] (the “Notes”), issued or to be issued pursuant to an Indenture dated as of June 18, 2007, between the Company and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, a New York banking corporation, as Trustee (the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under such Indenture), as amended and supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture thereto dated as of June 18, 2007 (such Indenture, as so amended and supplemented being referred to herein as the “Indenture”). The terms of this Note include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. Reference is hereby made to the Indenture and all further supplemental indentures thereto for a statement of the respective rights, limitation of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and the Holders and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.

As provided in the Indenture, Securities may be issued in one or more series, which different series may be issued in various aggregate principal amounts, may mature at different times, may bear interest, if any, at different rates, 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 in the Indenture provided or permitted. This Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof.

This Note is the general, unsecured, senior obligation of the Company and is guaranteed pursuant to a guarantee (the “Guarantee”) by Weatherford International Ltd., a Bermuda exempted company (the “Guarantor”).

The Notes are subject to redemption upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice by mail, at any time, as a whole or in part, at the election of the Company at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of: (a) 100% of the principal amount of Securities then outstanding to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date; or (b) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Securities then outstanding to be redeemed (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued as of the redemption date) discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (computed based on a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate, plus [___] basis points (0.[___]%), as calculated by an Independent Investment Banker, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date; but interest installments whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to such Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, of record at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates referred to on the face hereof, all as provided in the Indenture.

“Adjusted Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date: (a) the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated “H.15(519)” or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System 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 Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity is within three months before or after the remaining life, as defined below, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue will be determined and the Adjusted Treasury Rate will be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month); or (b) if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per year equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, 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 Adjusted Treasury Rate will be calculated on the third business day preceding the redemption date.

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Securities to be redeemed 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 such Securities.


		A-4		First Supplemental Indenture

“Comparable Treasury Price” means (1) the average of five Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for the redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if an Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer than five such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.

“Independent Investment Banker” means Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated or UBS Securities LLC or any of their respective successors, as designated by us, or if all such firms are unwilling or unable to serve as such, an independent investment and banking institution of national standing appointed by the Company.

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means: (a) Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated and UBS Securities LLC and each of their respective successors; provided that, if any such Reference Treasury Dealer ceases to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in the United States (Primary Treasury Dealer), the Company will substitute another Primary Treasury Dealer; and (b) up to two other Primary Treasury Dealer 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 an 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 an Independent Investment Banker at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day preceding such redemption date.

In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Security or Securities 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.

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 Guarantor and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Guarantor and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company and the Guarantor with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

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

This Global Security or portion hereof may not be exchanged for Definitive Securities of this series except in the limited circumstances provided in the Indenture. The holders of beneficial interests in this Global Security will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of Definitive Securities except as described in the Indenture and will not be considered the Holders thereof for any purpose under the Indenture.

The Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of U.S. $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess 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 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 Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company, the Guarantor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and none of the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.


		A-5		First Supplemental Indenture

No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of or contained in the Indenture or of or contained in any Note, or the Guarantee endorsed thereon, or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, or in any Security or in the Guarantee, or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, shareholder, member, officer, manager or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or the Guarantor or of any successor Person, either directly or through the Company or the Guarantor or any successor Person, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment, penalty or otherwise; it being expressly understood that all such liability is hereby expressly waived and released by the acceptance hereof and as a condition of, and as part of the consideration for, the Notes and the execution of the Indenture.

The Indenture provides that the Company and the Guarantor (a) will be discharged from any and all obligations in respect of the Notes (except for certain obligations described in the Indenture), or (b) need not comply with certain restrictive covenants of the Indenture, in each case if the Company or the Guarantor deposits, in trust, with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations (or a combination thereof) which through the payment of interest thereon and principal thereof in accordance with their terms will provide money, in an amount sufficient to pay all the principal of and interest on the Notes, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

As more fully provided in the Indenture, no Holder may pursue any remedy under the Indenture unless the Trustee shall have failed to act after notice of an Event of Default and written request by Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Securities of the applicable Series and the offer to the Trustee of indemnity satisfactory to it; however, such provision does not affect the right to sue for enforcement of any overdue payment on any Security.

Except as otherwise defined herein, all terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or any assignee, such as: TEN COM ( = tenants in common), TEN ENT ( = tenants by the entireties), JT TEN ( = joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST ( = Custodian) and U/G/M/A ( = Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).
