THE NOTES

Section 2.1 Designation of Notes and Establishment of Form. There shall be a series of Securities designated “3.250% Senior Notes due 2022” of the Issuer (referred to herein as the “Notes”). The form thereof shall be substantially as set forth in Annex A hereto, which is incorporated into and shall be deemed a part of this First Supplemental Indenture, 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 may be required to comply with the rules of any securities exchange or as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the officers of the Issuer executing such Notes, as evidenced by their execution of the Notes.

Section 2.2 Ranking. The Notes shall constitute senior, unsecured obligations of the Issuer and each Guarantee shall constitute a senior, unsecured obligation of each Guarantor, in each case ranking equal in right of payment to all of the existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Issuer and Guarantors. Article XV of the Base Indenture shall not apply to the Notes.

Section 2.3 Amount. The Trustee shall authenticate and deliver Notes for original issue in an aggregate principal amount of $500,000,000 upon an Order for the authentication and delivery of Notes, without any further action by the Issuer, subject to Section 3.03 of the Base Indenture. Under a Board Resolution, Officer’s Certificate pursuant to Board Resolutions or a Supplemental Indenture, the Issuer may from time to time, without the consent of the Holders of Notes, issue additional Notes (in any such case “Additional Notes”) having the same ranking and the same interest rate, maturity and other terms as the Notes. Any Additional Notes and the Initial Notes will constitute a single series under the Indenture and all references to the relevant Notes herein shall include the Additional Notes unless the context otherwise requires.

Section 2.4 Stated Maturity. The date on which the principal of the Notes is due and payable, unless earlier accelerated or repurchased pursuant to the Indenture, shall be October 15, 2022 (the “Stated Maturity”). On the Stated Maturity, each Holder shall be entitled to receive on such date $1,000 in cash for each $1,000 principal amount per Note, together with accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the Stated Maturity.

Section 2.5 Form, Denomination and Currency. The Notes shall initially be issued in global form as Global Notes (substantially in the form of Annex A hereto). Each Global Note shall represent such aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Notes as shall be specified therein and the aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges or purchases of such Notes. Each Note shall be issuable in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof; provided, however, that Notes may from time to time be issuable in denominations of less than $1,000 if, and solely to the extent that, reliance on this proviso is necessary to accommodate book-entry positions that have been created in denominations of less than $1,000 by the Depositary. All obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors in respect of principal, interest or any other amount owing upon the Notes shall be payable in U.S. Dollars.

Section 2.6 Designation of Depositary. Initially, the Depositary for the Notes will be The Depository Trust Company. The Notes, in the form of Global Notes, will be registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee, Cede & Co., and delivered by the Trustee to the Depositary or a custodian appointed by the Depositary for crediting to the accounts of its participants. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in any such Global Note shall be effected through the Depositary in accordance with

the Indenture and the rules and procedures of the Depositary to the extent applicable to such transfer or exchange.

Section 2.7 No Sinking Fund. There shall be no sinking fund for the retirement of the Notes. Article V of the Base Indenture shall not apply to the Notes.

Section 2.8 Exchange and Registration on Transfer. Notwithstanding anything in Section 3.06 of the Base Indenture to the contrary, (a) all Notes presented or surrendered for registration or transfer shall (if so required by the Issuer or the Registrar) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer, and the Notes shall be duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing and (b) neither the Issuer nor the Trustee nor any Registrar shall be required to exchange, issue or register the transfer of any Notes or portions thereof tendered for registration or transfer (and not withdrawn) pursuant to this Indenture.

ARTICLE III

DISCHARGE; DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

Section 3.1 Applicability of Article. Article XII of the Base Indenture shall apply to the Notes.

Section 3.2 Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance.

With respect to the Notes only (and not any other series of Securities issued pursuant to the Base Indenture), Section 12.03 of the Base Indenture is replaced in its entirety with the following:

(1) The Issuer may at its option by Board Resolution, at any time, with respect to the Notes, elect to have Section 3.2(2) or Section 3.2(3) be applied to such Outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Section 3.2.

(2) Upon the Issuer’s exercise of the option provided for in this Section 3.2(2) with respect to the Notes and the Guarantees, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to such Outstanding Notes and Guarantees on the date the conditions set forth in clause (4) of this Section 3.2 are satisfied (hereinafter, “defeasance”). For this purpose, such defeasance means that the Issuer shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by such Outstanding Notes, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “Outstanding” only for the purposes of clause (5) of this Section 3.2 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) below, and to have satisfied all of its other obligations under such Notes and this Indenture (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (i) the rights of Holders of such Outstanding Notes, solely from the fund described in clause (4) of this Section 3.2 and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on such Notes when such payments are due, and any rights of such Holder to exchange such Notes into other securities, (ii) the obligations of the Issuer and the Trustee with respect to such Notes under Sections 3.01, 3.06, 3.07, 6.01 and 6.03 of the Base Indenture, (iii) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and under the Base Indenture and (iv) this Section 3.2. The Issuer may exercise its option under this Section 3.2(2) notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under clause (3) of this Section 3.2 with respect to such Notes.

(3) Upon the Issuer’s exercise of the option provided for in this Section 3.2(3) with respect to the Notes and the Guarantees, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall be released from their obligations under Sections 5.1 to 5.3, inclusive, and Section 6.05 to 6.08 of the Base Indenture, inclusive, with respect to such Outstanding Notes and Guarantees, on and after the date the conditions set forth in clause (4) of this Section 3.2 are satisfied (hereinafter, “covenant defeasance”), and such Notes shall thereafter be deemed to be not “Outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with any such covenant, but shall continue to be deemed “Outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder. For this purpose, such covenant defeasance means that, with respect to such Outstanding Notes and Guarantees, the Issuer and the Guarantors may omit to comply with, and shall have no liability in respect of, any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such Section or such other covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or such other covenant or by reason of reference in any such Section or such other covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a default or an Event of Default under Section 4.1(3) or otherwise, as the case may be, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby.

(4) The following shall be the conditions to application of clause (2) or (3) of this Section 3.2 to any Outstanding Notes and Guarantees (as applicable) in respect thereof:

(a) The Issuer shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee satisfying the requirements of Section 11.04 of the Base Indenture who shall agree to comply with the provisions of this Section 3.2 applicable to it) as trust funds in trust for the purpose of making the following payments, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Holders of such Notes, (1) an amount in Dollars, or (2) Government Obligations, which through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than one day before the due date of any payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on such Notes, money in an amount, or (3) a combination of (1) and (2), in any case, in an amount, sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of such principal and interest, and in the case of (2) and (3), in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge, and which shall be applied by the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) to pay and discharge, the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on such Outstanding Notes on the Stated Maturity of such principal or interest.

(b) Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, this Indenture or any other material agreement or instrument to which the Issuer or the Guarantors are a party or by which any of them is bound.

(c) No Event of Default or event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become an Event of Default with respect to such Notes shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a default resulting from the borrowing of funds and the grant of the related liens to be applied to such deposit).

(d) In the case of an election under clause (2) of this Section 3.2, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (i) the Issuer has received from the Internal Revenue Service a letter ruling, or there has been published by

the Internal Revenue Service a Revenue Ruling, or (ii) there has been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the beneficial owners of such Outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such defeasance had not occurred.

(e) In the case of an election under clause (3) of this Section 3.2, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the beneficial owners of such Outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such covenant defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such covenant defeasance had not occurred.

(f) The Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to the defeasance or covenant defeasance under clause (2) or (3) of this Section 3.2 (as the case may be) and clause (4) of this Section 3.2 have been complied with.

(5) Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 12.06 of the Base Indenture, all money and Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 3.2(5), the “Trustee”) pursuant to clause (4) of Section 3.2 in respect of any Outstanding Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuer or a Guarantor acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal (and premium, if any) and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

The Issuer shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge, imposed on or assessed against the Government Obligations deposited pursuant to this Section 3.2 or the principal or interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of such Outstanding Notes.

Anything in this Section 3.2 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Issuer from time to time upon request any money or Government Obligations (or other property and any proceeds therefrom) held by it as provided in clause (4) of this Section 3.2 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect a defeasance or covenant defeasance, as applicable, in accordance with this Section 3.2.

(a) The Issuer will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, incur any Indebtedness, other than Permitted Debt, if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional Indebtedness, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Indebtedness of the Issuer, and of its Subsidiaries determined at the applicable proportionate interest of the Issuer in each such Subsidiary, determined in accordance with GAAP, is greater than 60% of the sum of (i) the Total Assets as of the end of the calendar quarter covered in the Issuer’s Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as the case may be, most recently filed with the SEC prior to the incurrence of such additional Indebtedness or, if the Issuer is not then subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, as of its most recent calendar quarter and (ii) any increase in the Total Assets since the end of such quarter, including, without limitation, any increase in Total Assets resulting from the incurrence of such additional Indebtedness (the Total Assets adjusted by such increase are referred to as the “Adjusted Total Assets”).

(b) In addition to the limitation set forth in subsection (a) of this Section 5.1, the Issuer will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, incur any Indebtedness, other than Permitted Debt, if, for the period consisting of the four consecutive fiscal quarters most recently ended prior to the date on

which such additional Indebtedness is to be incurred, the ratio of Consolidated Income Available for Debt Service to the Annual Service Charge shall have been less than 1.5 to 1, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the incurrence of such Indebtedness and to the application of the proceeds therefrom, and calculated on the assumption that (i) such Indebtedness and any other Indebtedness incurred by the Issuer or its Subsidiaries since the first day of such four-quarter period and the application of the proceeds therefrom, including to refinance other Indebtedness, had occurred at the beginning of such period, (ii) the repayment or retirement of any other Indebtedness by the Issuer or its Subsidiaries since the first day of such four-quarter period had been incurred, repaid or retained at the beginning of such period (except that, in making such computation, the amount of Indebtedness under any revolving credit facility shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness under such credit facility during such period), (iii) any income earned as a result of any increase in Adjusted Total Assets since the end of such four-quarter period had been earned, on an annualized basis, for such period, and (iv) in the case of an acquisition or disposition by the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries of any asset or group of assets since the first day of such four-quarter period, including, without limitation, by merger, stock purchase or sale, or asset purchase or sale, such acquisition or disposition or any related repayment of Indebtedness had occurred as of the first day of such period with the appropriate adjustments with respect to such acquisition or disposition being included in such pro forma calculation of Consolidated Income Available for Debt Service to the Annual Service Charge.

(c) In addition to the limitations set forth in subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 5.1, the Issuer will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, incur any Indebtedness secured by any Lien of any kind upon any of the property of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries (the “Secured Debt”) if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional Secured Debt, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Secured Debt of the Issuer, and of its Subsidiaries determined at the applicable proportionate interest of the Issuer in each such Subsidiary, is greater than 40% of the Adjusted Total Assets.

Section 5.2 Maintenance of Total Unencumbered Assets.

The Issuer will maintain Total Unencumbered Assets of not less than 150% of the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Unsecured Debt.

Section 5.3 Provision of Financial Information.

If XX Xxxxx OP elects to furnish such reports via a Confidential Datasite, access to the Confidential Datasite will be provided upon request to Holders, beneficial owners of and bona fide potential investors in the notes as well as securities analysts and market makers.

(2) the Operating Partnership may consolidate with, or sell, lease or convey all or substantially all of its assets to, or merge with or into, any other entity (whether or not affiliated with the Operating Partnership), or enter into successive consolidations or mergers, provided that the following conditions are met:

(a) the other entity is XX Xxxxx or the Issuer or becomes a guarantor concurrently with the transaction;

(b) (i) either (a) the Operating Partnership shall be the continuing entity or (b) the successor entity formed by or resulting from any consolidation or merger or which shall

ARTICLE VIII

GUARANTEES

Section 8.1 Guarantee.

The Guarantors shall guarantee the Notes on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Article VIII. Each Guarantee is joint and several with all other Guarantees of the series and is an unconditional guarantee for the benefit of each Holder of the Notes that have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, and for the benefit of the Trustee on behalf of each such Holder, of the due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Notes when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at its Stated Maturity or following acceleration, call for redemption, purchase or otherwise, in each case in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Notes and this Indenture. In case of the failure of the Company punctually to make any such payment on any such security, each Guarantor of such security jointly and severally agrees to cause such payment to be made punctually when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity or by acceleration, call for redemption, purchase or otherwise, and as if such payment were made by the Company. Each Guarantee shall be a guaranty of payment, not of collection. Except as expressly provided in this First Supplemental Indenture, the applicable Guarantor further agrees that the obligations guaranteed pursuant to the applicable Guarantee may be amended, supplemented, modified, restated, extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its Guarantee notwithstanding any such amendment, supplement, modification, extension or renewal of any such obligation.

Section 8.2 Limitation on Guarantor Liability. Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state or foreign law to the extent applicable to any Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount that will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article VIII, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under federal, state or similar foreign law.

Section 8.3 Execution and Delivery of Guarantee. To evidence its Guarantee set forth in Section 8.1, each Guarantor hereby agrees that this Indenture (or a supplemental indenture to this Indenture) shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by an officer of such Guarantor.

Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in Section 8.1 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Guarantee.

If an officer whose signature is on this Indenture no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note on which a Guarantee is endorsed, the Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless.

The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors.

Section 8.4 Release of Guarantors.

(a) The Operating Partnership’s Guarantee shall be released:

(1) in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Operating Partnership’s assets (including by way of merger or consolidation) to an entity that is not (either before or after giving effort to such transaction) XX Xxxxx, the Issuer or one of their subsidiaries, if the sale or other disposition does not violate Section 6.04 of the Base Indenture as modified by this First Supplemental Indenture;

(2) in connection with any sale or other disposition of all the capital stock of the Operating Partnership to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transition) XX Xxxxx, the Issuer or one of their subsidiaries, if the sale of other disposition does not violate Section 6.04 of the Base Indenture as modified by this First Supplemental Indenture;

(3) upon defeasance under Section 3.2 of this First Supplemental Indenture or satisfaction and discharge under Section 12.02 of the Base Indenture; or

(4) upon the contemporaneous release of the Operating Partnership’s obligations under XX Xxxxx’x, the Issuer’s and the Operating Partnership’s revolving credit facility and all other indebtedness for borrowed money of the Operating Partnership, XX Xxxxx or the Issuer.

(b) XX Xxxxx’x Guarantee will be released upon defeasance under Section 3.2 of this First Supplemental Indenture or satisfaction and discharge under Section 12.02 of the Base Indenture.

[REVERSE SIDE OF NOTE]

3.250% Senior Notes due 2022

Indenture. This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Issuer, issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of October 5, 2017, as supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of October 5, 2017 (as so supplemented, herein called the “Indenture”), between the Issuer, XX Xxxxx Realty Corp. and Reckson Operating Partnership, L.P., as Guarantors, 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 relating to the Notes reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof, initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $500,000,000. Under a Board Resolution, Officer’s Certificate pursuant to Board Resolutions or a supplemental indenture, the Issuer may from time to time, without the consent of the Holders of Notes, issue additional Notes (in any such case “Additional Notes”) having the same ranking and the same interest rate, maturity and other terms as the Notes. Any Additional Notes and the Initial Notes will constitute a single series under the Indenture and all references to the relevant Notes herein shall include the Additional Notes unless the context otherwise requires.

Optional Redemption. Prior to September 15, 2022 (one month prior to maturity, (the “Par Call Date”)), the Notes are subject to redemption at the Issuer’s option, at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, at a Redemption Price equal to the sum of (i) the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, (ii) unpaid interest accrued thereon to the redemption date and (iii) the Make-Whole Amount (as defined below), if any, with respect to such Notes. If the Notes are redeemed on or after the Par Call Date, the redemption price for the Notes will equal 100% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus unpaid accrued interest thereon to the redemption date.

For purposes of determining the optional redemption price, the following definitions are applicable:

“Make-Whole Amount” means, in connection with any optional redemption, the excess, if any, of (i) the aggregate present value as of the date of such redemption of each dollar of principal being redeemed and the amount of interest on the notes being redeemed that would be due if such notes matured on the Par Call Date (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption), determined by discounting, on a semi-annual basis, such principal and interest at the Reinvestment Rate (determined on the third business day in The City of New York preceding the date such notice of redemption is given) from the respective dates on which such principal and interest would have been payable if such redemption had not been made, to the date of such redemption over (ii) the aggregate principal amount of the Notes being redeemed. The Issuer shall be solely responsible for calculating the Make-Whole Amount.

“Reinvestment Rate” means 0.25% plus the arithmetic mean, as calculated by the Issuer, of the yields under the heading “Week Ending” published in the most recent Statistical Release under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities” for the maturity (rounded to the nearest month) corresponding to the remaining life of the Notes to be redeemed (assuming for this purpose the Notes matured on the Par Call Date), as of the redemption date, of the principal being redeemed. If no maturity exactly corresponds to such maturity, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to such maturity shall be calculated pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence and the Reinvestment Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight-line basis, rounding each of such relevant

periods to the nearest month. For the purpose of calculating the Reinvestment Rate, the most recent Statistical Release published prior to the date of determination of the Make-Whole Amount shall be used.

“Statistical Release” means the 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 government securities adjusted to constant maturities or, if such statistical release is not published at the time of any determination under the Indenture, then such other reasonably comparable index designated by the Issuer.

Notice of any redemption will be mailed at least 15 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date (unless a shorter period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee) to each registered Holder of the Notes to be redeemed. Unless the Issuer defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions of the Notes called for redemption. If fewer than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Securities to be redeemed will be selected in accordance with the policies and procedures of the Depositary.

Except as set forth above, the Notes will not be redeemable by the Issuer prior to maturity and will not be entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund.

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

Amendment, Modification and Waiver. The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the Notes of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Notes of such series, to waive compliance by the Issuer 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 Note 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.

Denominations, Transfer and Exchange. The Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registerable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the Registrar accompanied by a written request for transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

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

Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer 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 neither the Issuer, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Miscellaneous. The Indenture and this Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflicts of law rules of said State.

All terms used in this Note and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
