“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date for any Note: (1) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for that Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest of four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations; or (2) if the Trustee is given fewer than four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all quotations obtained by the Trustee.

“Treasury Rate” means, at the time of computation, (1) the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the United States Treasury Securities with a constant maturity (as compiled and published in the most recent Federal. Reserve Statistical Release H.15(519) which has become publicly available at least two Business Days prior to the Redemption Date or, if such Statistical Release is no longer published, any publicly available source of similar market data) for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue; provided, however, that if no maturity is within three months before or after the Stated Maturity for the Notes, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue will be determined and the Treasury Rate will be interpolated or extrapolated from those yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month; or (2) if that release, or any successor release, is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual 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 that Redemption Date. The Treasury Rate will be calculated on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date.

(ii) In addition to any redemption permitted pursuant to clause (c)(i) above, at any time and from time to time on or after the date that is three months prior to the Stated Maturity of such series of Notes, the Company may redeem the 4.600% 2021 Notes and/or the 6.000% 2040 Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest if any to the Redemption Date.

(iii) To the extent not specified above, any redemption of any Notes pursuant to this Section 2.8(c) shall be in accordance with the provisions of Article XI of the Indenture.

Following the exercise of any such option in accordance with such Section in the Indenture with respect to any series of Notes, the provisions of Section 2.8(b) of this Supplemental Indenture shall no longer be applicable to such series of Notes (in addition to the other effects of compliance with such Sections set forth therein).

(i) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency;

(ii) to provide for uncertificated Notes or Guarantees in addition to or in place of certificated Notes or Guarantees (provided that the uncertificated Notes are issued in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code, or in a manner such that the uncertificated Notes are described in Section 163(f)(2)(B) of the Code);

(iii) to provide for the assumption of the obligations of the Issuers or any Guarantor to the Holders of the Notes in the case of a merger or consolidation pursuant to Article V or Article XV of the Indenture;

(v) to comply with requirements of the Commission in order to effect or maintain the qualification hereof under the Trust Indenture Act; or

(vi) to provide for the issuance of additional Securities of any series (including additional Notes) or to make any change that relates only to a series of Securities other than any series of Notes.

(b) The following provisions shall apply with respect to amendments and waivers requiring the consents of the Holders of Notes instead of the provisions of Section 902 of the Indenture (and any reference to “Section 902” of the Indenture that is contained in the Indenture as such reference relates to any of the Notes shall be deemed to refer to this Section 2.13(b) of this Supplemental Indenture):

Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder of Notes):

(i) reduce the aggregate principal amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;

(ii) reduce the principal of or change the Stated Maturity of any Note or alter the provisions with respect to the amount of redemption premium on the Notes;

(iii) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any Note;

(vi) make any change in the provisions of any such agreement relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders of Notes to receive payments of principal of or interest on the Notes;

(ix) make any change in the foregoing amendment and waiver provisions.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders of Notes under this Section 2.13(b) to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.

After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 2.13(b) becomes effective, the Issuers shall mail to the Holders of Notes affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Issuers to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental Indenture or waiver.

[REVERSE OF NOTE]

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Issuers (herein called the “Notes”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of August 17, 2010 (as amended or modified from time to time, the “Base Indenture”), and a supplemental indenture relating to such series dated as of August 17, 2010 (as amended or modified from time to time, the “Supplemental Indenture” and together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), between the Issuers, the Guarantors and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., 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 Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof, such series initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $750,000,000; provided that the Company may at any time and from time to time, without the consent of any Holder, issue additional Notes of this series.

The Notes of this series may be required to be repurchased by Holders under the circumstances provided in Section 2.8(b) of the Supplemental Indenture and are redeemable at the option of the Company as provided in Section 2.8(c) of the Supplemental Indenture.

The Notes of this series are not entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund.

The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire indebtedness of the Notes of this series or certain restrictive covenants and Events of Default with respect to such Notes, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture.

If an Event of Default with respect to Notes of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of such Notes may be declared, or shall immediately become, 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 Issuers and the Guarantors and the rights of the Holders of the Notes of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company 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 specified percentages 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 Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holders of Notes of this series shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holders 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.

A-5

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holders of the Notes of this series 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 Notes of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes 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 aggregate principal amount of such Notes 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 Note 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 Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligations of the Issuers, which are absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on this Note 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 Note is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and any premium and interest on this Note 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 Notes 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 Notes of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Notes of this series are exchangeable for a like principal amount of Notes 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 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 Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
