The Company shall not be required to execute or to provide for the registration of transfer of or the exchange of (a) Bonds of any series during a period of fifteen (15) days immediately preceding the date notice is to be given identifying the serial numbers of the Bonds of such series called for redemption or (b) any Bond so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Bond being redeemed in part.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Bonds in certificated form, a Global Bond representing all or a portion of the Bonds of a series may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary for such series to a nominee of such Depositary or by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or by such Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary for such series or a nominee of such successor Depositary.

If at any time (i) the Depositary for the Bonds of a series notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Bonds of such series or that it is no longer eligible under Section 3.13 of the Base Indenture, and in any such case the Company has not appointed a successor Depositary within ninety (90) days after delivery of such notice, (ii) there has occurred and is continuing an Event of Default, or (iii) the Company in its sole discretion determines that the Bonds of any series issued in the form of one or more Global Bonds shall no longer be represented by such Global Bond or Bonds, then in each such event the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of certificated Bonds of such series, will authenticate and deliver, in each case in accordance with the procedures set forth in Appendix A, Bonds of such series in certificated form and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Bond or Bonds representing such series in exchange for such Global Bond or Bonds.

The Depositary for such series of Bonds may surrender a Global Bond for such series of Bonds in exchange in whole or in part for Bonds of such series in certificated form on such terms as are acceptable to the Company and such Depositary, in each case, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Appendix A. Thereupon, the Company shall authenticate and deliver, without charge:

(i) to each Person specified by such Depositary a new Bond or Bonds of the same series, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Person in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for such Person’s beneficial interest in the Global Bonds; and

(ii) to such Depositary a new Global Bond in a denomination equal to the difference, if any, between the principal amount of the surrendered Global Bond and the aggregate principal amount of Bonds delivered to Holders thereof.

Bonds issued in exchange for a Global Bond pursuant to this Section and Appendix A shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary for such Global Bond, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Bonds offered and sold in reliance on Regulation S at such time as the Company is subject to Category 3 restrictions under Section 903 of the Securities Act shall be issued initially in the form of one or more temporary Global Bonds in fully registered form, which, after the expiration of the Restricted Period (as defined below), beneficial ownership interests therein may be exchanged for interests in a permanent Regulation S Global Bond (or a Rule 144A Global Bond) upon certification in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee that beneficial ownership interests in such temporary Global Bond are owned either bynon-U.S. persons or U.S. persons who purchased such interests in a transaction that did not require registration under the Securities Act.

(b)Book-Entry Provisions. ThisSection 2.1(b) shall apply only to a Global Bond deposited with or on behalf of the Depositary.

If such Global Bonds are Restricted Global Bonds, then separate Global Bonds shall be issued to represent Rule 144A Global Bonds and Regulation S Global Bonds so long as required by law or the Depositary.

Except as set forth in thisSection 2.1(b), beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Bond will not be exchangeable for interests in the Rule 144A Global Bond prior to the expiration of the period through and including the 40th day after the later of the commencement of the offering of any Bonds and the closing of such offering (such period, the“Restricted Period”) and then, after the expiration of the Restricted Period, may be exchanged for interests in a Rule 144A Global Bond only upon certification in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee that beneficial ownership interests in such Regulation S Global Bond are owned either

After the expiration of the Restricted Period, such certification requirements shall not apply to such transfers of beneficial interests in a Restricted Global Bond representing Regulation S Global Bonds.

Beneficial interests in a Rule 144A Global Bond may be transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in the Regulation S Global Bond, whether before or after the expiration of the Restricted Period, only if the transferor first delivers to the Trustee a written certificate (in the form provided in Exhibit 1 hereto) to the effect that such transfer is being made in accordance with Rule 903 or 904 of Regulation S or Rule 144 (if available).

(A) if such certificated Bonds are being delivered to the Registrar by a Holder for registration in the name of such Holder, without transfer, a certification from such Holder to that effect; or

Upon receipt by the Trustee of a Bond in certificated form, duly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, together with:

(i) certification, in the form set forth on the reverse of the Bond, that such certificated Bond is either (A) being transferred to a person reasonably believed to be a QIB in accordance with Rule 144A or (B) being transferred after expiration of the Restricted Period by a Person who initially purchased such Bond in reliance on Regulation S to a buyer who elects to hold its interest in such Bond in the form of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Bond; and

Reverse of Senior Note

This 4.25% Senior Note due August 1, 2023 is one of a duly authorized issue of Bonds of the Company, issued and issuable in one or more series under the Indenture, dated as of August 6, 2018, as amended and supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of August 6, 2018 (as so amended and supplemented, the “Indenture”), between the Company 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 description of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of Bonds thereunder and of the terms and conditions upon which Bonds are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Senior Note is a Bond within the meaning of the Indenture and is designated as the 4.25% Senior Notes due August 1, 2023 established by the Company under the Indenture and initially issued in an aggregate principal amount of $500,000,000 on August 6, 2018. The acceptance of this Senior Note shall be deemed to constitute the consent and agreement by the Holder hereof to all of the terms and provisions of the Indenture.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, this Senior Note is redeemable at the option of the Company (“Optional Redemption”), in whole or in part, (a) at any time prior to July 1, 2023 (the date that is one month prior to the Maturity Date (the “Par Call Date”)) at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of:

(i) 100% of the principal amount of this Senior Note to be redeemed; or

(ii) as determined by the Quotation Agent, the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on this Senior Note to be redeemed that would be due if this Senior Note matured on the Par Call Date (not including any portion of payments of interest accrued as of the Redemption Date), discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a360-day year consisting of twelve30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate, plus 25 basis points,

plus, in either of the above cases, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the Redemption Date; and (b) at any time on or after the Par Call Date, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of this Senior Note to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the Redemption Date.

For purposes of determining the Redemption Price, the following terms have the following meanings:

“Adjusted Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual 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 United States Treasury security selected by the Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of this Senior Note to be redeemed (assuming, for such purpose, that this Senior Note matured on the Par Call Date (the “remaining term”)), that would be used, at the time of selection and in accordance with

Exhibit 1 - 7

customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of this Senior Note to be redeemed.

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date: (i) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations; or (ii) if the Quotation Agent obtains fewer than four of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations so received.

“Quotation Agent” means the Reference Treasury Dealer appointed by the Company for this Senior Note.

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means (i) each of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, Mizuho Securities USA LLC and RBC Capital Markets, LLC, (ii) a Primary Treasury Dealer (as defined below) selected by SMBC Nikko Securities America, Inc., or their respective affiliates or successors, unless any of them ceases to be a primary dealer in certain U.S. government securities (“Primary Treasury Dealer”), in which case the Company shall substitute another Primary Treasury Dealer; and (ii) one 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 us, 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 the Company by that Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding that redemption date.

Interest installments whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to such Redemption Date will be payable to Holders of such Senior Notes, or one or more Predecessor Bonds, of record at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates referred to on the face hereof, all as provided in the Indenture.

In the case of an Optional Redemption, notice of redemption will be in writing and mailed first-class postage-prepaid not less than 10 days nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date to each Holder of Senior Notes to be redeemed at the Holder’s registered address;provided,however, that such notice need not state the dollar amount of the Redemption Price if such dollar amount has not been determined as of the date such notice is being given to the Holders of the Senior Notes being redeemed. If money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all Senior Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the Redemption Date is deposited with the Paying Agent or the Trustee on or prior to the Redemption Date, from and after such Redemption Date such Senior Notes or portions thereof shall cease to bear interest. Senior Notes in denominations larger than $100,000 in principal amount may be redeemed in part but only in integral multiples of $1,000.

In the event of redemption of this Senior Note in part only, a new Senior Note or Senior Notes of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the surrender hereof.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Senior Note or any portion of the principal amount hereof will be deemed to have been paid for

Exhibit 1 - 8

all purposes of the Indenture and to be no longer Outstanding thereunder, and the Company’s entire indebtedness in respect thereof will be satisfied and discharged, if there has been irrevocably deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent (other than the Company), in trust, money in an amount which will be sufficient and/or Eligible Obligations, the principal of and interest on which when due, without regard to any reinvestment thereof, will provide moneys which, together with money, if any, deposited with or held by the Trustee or such Paying Agent, will be sufficient to pay when due the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Senior Note when due.

If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 33% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds, considered as one class, may declare the principal amount of all Bonds then Outstanding to be due and payable immediately by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders);provided,however, that with respect to certain Events of Default relating to bankruptcy, insolvency and similar events, the principal amount of all Bonds then Outstanding shall be due and payable immediately without further action by the Trustee or the Holders.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the Company and the Trustee to enter into one or more supplemental indentures for the purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of, the Indenture with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding, considered as one class;provided,however, that if there shall be Bonds of more than one series Outstanding under the Indenture and if a proposed supplemental indenture shall directly affect the rights of the Holders of Bonds of one or more, but less than all, of such series, then the consent only of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds of all series so directly affected, considered as one class, shall be required; and provided, further, that the Indenture permits the Company and the Trustee to enter into one or more supplemental indentures for certain purposes without the consent of any Holders of Bonds. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Bonds, on behalf of the Holders of all such Bonds, to waive certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Senior Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Senior Note and of any Senior 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 Senior Note.

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Senior Note 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, the Holders of at least 33% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds 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 at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of Bonds at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such written 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 Senior Note for the

Exhibit 1 - 9

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 Senior 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 any premium and interest on this Senior 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 Senior Note is registrable in the Bond Register, upon surrender of this Senior 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 Senior Note are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee or the Bond Registrar, as the case may be, duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Senior Notes of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

The Senior Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $100,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Senior Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes 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.

The Company shall not be required to execute or to provide for the registration of the transfer of or the exchange of (A) any Senior Note of this series during a period of 15 days immediately preceding the date notice is to be given identifying the serial numbers of the Senior Notes called for redemption, or (B) any Senior Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Senior Note being redeemed in part.

Prior to due presentment of this Senior 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 Senior Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Senior Note is overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

This Senior Note shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without regard to the principles of conflicts of laws thereunder, except to the extent that the Trust Indenture Act shall be applicable.

As provided in the Indenture, no recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest with respect to this Senior Note, or any part thereof, or for any claim based hereon or otherwise in respect hereof, or of the indebtedness represented hereby, or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement under the Indenture or the Registration Rights Agreement,

Exhibit 1 - 10

against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or of any predecessor or successor corporation (either directly or through the Company or a predecessor or successor corporation), whether by virtue of any constitutional provision, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly agreed and understood that the Indenture and all the Bonds are solely corporate obligations and that any such personal liability is hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as part of the consideration for, the execution of the Indenture and the issuance of this Senior Note.

customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of this Senior Note to be redeemed.

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date: (i) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations; or (ii) if the Quotation Agent obtains fewer than four of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations so received.

“Quotation Agent” means the Reference Treasury Dealer appointed by the Company for this Senior Note.

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means (i) each of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, Mizuho Securities USA LLC and RBC Capital Markets, LLC, (ii) a Primary Treasury Dealer (as defined below) selected by SMBC Nikko Securities America, Inc., or their respective affiliates or successors, unless any of them ceases to be a primary dealer in certain U.S. government securities (“Primary Treasury Dealer”), in which case the Company shall substitute another Primary Treasury Dealer; and (ii) one 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 us, 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 the Company by that Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding that redemption date.

Interest installments whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to such Redemption Date will be payable to Holders of such Senior Notes, or one or more Predecessor Bonds, of record at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates referred to on the face hereof, all as provided in the Indenture.

In the case of an Optional Redemption, notice of redemption will be in writing and mailed first-class postage-prepaid not less than 10 days nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date to each Holder of Senior Notes to be redeemed at the Holder’s registered address;provided,however, that such notice need not state the dollar amount of the Redemption Price if such dollar amount has not been determined as of the date such notice is being given to the Holders of the Senior Notes being redeemed. If money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all Senior Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the Redemption Date is deposited with the Paying Agent or the Trustee on or prior to the Redemption Date, from and after such Redemption Date such Senior Notes or portions thereof shall cease to bear interest. Senior Notes in denominations larger than $100,000 in principal amount may be redeemed in part but only in integral multiples of $1,000.

In the event of redemption of this Senior Note in part only, a new Senior Note or Senior Notes of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the surrender hereof.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Senior Note or any portion of the principal amount hereof will be deemed to have been paid for

Exhibit 1 - 21

all purposes of the Indenture and to be no longer Outstanding thereunder, and the Company’s entire indebtedness in respect thereof will be satisfied and discharged, if there has been irrevocably deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent (other than the Company), in trust, money in an amount which will be sufficient and/or Eligible Obligations, the principal of and interest on which when due, without regard to any reinvestment thereof, will provide moneys which, together with money, if any, deposited with or held by the Trustee or such Paying Agent, will be sufficient to pay when due the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Senior Note when due.

If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 33% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds, considered as one class, may declare the principal amount of all Bonds then Outstanding to be due and payable immediately by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders);provided,however, that with respect to certain Events of Default relating to bankruptcy, insolvency and similar events, the principal amount of all Bonds then Outstanding shall be due and payable immediately without further action by the Trustee or the Holders.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the Company and the Trustee to enter into one or more supplemental indentures for the purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of, the Indenture with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding, considered as one class;provided,however, that if there shall be Bonds of more than one series Outstanding under the Indenture and if a proposed supplemental indenture shall directly affect the rights of the Holders of Bonds of one or more, but less than all, of such series, then the consent only of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds of all series so directly affected, considered as one class, shall be required; and provided, further, that the Indenture permits the Company and the Trustee to enter into one or more supplemental indentures for certain purposes without the consent of any Holders of Bonds. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Bonds, on behalf of the Holders of all such Bonds, to waive certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Senior Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Senior Note and of any Senior 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 Senior Note.

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Senior Note 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, the Holders of at least 33% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds 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 at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of Bonds at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such written 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 Senior Note for the

Exhibit 1 - 22

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 Senior 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 any premium and interest on this Senior 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 Senior Note is registrable in the Bond Register, upon surrender of this Senior 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 Senior Note are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee or the Bond Registrar, as the case may be, duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Senior Notes of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

The Senior Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $100,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Senior Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes 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.

The Company shall not be required to execute or to provide for the registration of the transfer of or the exchange of (A) any Senior Note of this series during a period of 15 days immediately preceding the date notice is to be given identifying the serial numbers of the Senior Notes called for redemption, or (B) any Senior Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Senior Note being redeemed in part.

Prior to due presentment of this Senior 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 Senior Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Senior Note is overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

This Senior Note shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without regard to the principles of conflicts of laws thereunder, except to the extent that the Trust Indenture Act shall be applicable.

As provided in the Indenture, no recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest with respect to this Senior Note, or any part thereof, or for any claim based hereon or otherwise in respect hereof, or of the indebtedness represented hereby, or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement under the Indenture or the Registration Rights Agreement,

Exhibit 1 - 23

against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or of any predecessor or successor corporation (either directly or through the Company or a predecessor or successor corporation), whether by virtue of any constitutional provision, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly agreed and understood that the Indenture and all the Bonds are solely corporate obligations and that any such personal liability is hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as part of the consideration for, the execution of the Indenture and the issuance of this Senior Note.

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