[REVERSE OF NOTE]

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of a series of debt securities (the “Securities”) of the Company, designated as its 4.150% Notes due 2027 (the “Notes”). The Securities, including the Notes, are all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to the Indenture, to which Indenture, and all Board Resolutions and Officers’ Certificates as provided therein, reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitation of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes, and the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The Notes are initially limited to seven hundred and fifty million Dollars ($750,000,000) in aggregate principal amount; provided, however, that the Company may at any time issue additional Securities under the Indenture in unlimited amounts having the same terms as the Notes other than the date of original issuance and the first Interest Payment Date applicable thereto, and such Securities shall be treated as a single series with the Notes for all purposes under the Indenture.

This Note shall constitute part of the Company’s unsecured and unsubordinated obligations and shall rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. This Note shall be issuable in fully registered form only, in minimum denominations of two thousand Dollars ($2,000) and any integral multiples of one thousand Dollars ($1,000) in excess of that amount.

In case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to this Note, the principal hereof may be declared due and payable, and upon such declaration shall become due and payable, in the manner, with the effect, and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture. The Indenture permits the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding to, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes and in the manner and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, waive certain past defaults and rescind and annul such past declarations and their consequences under the Indenture.

The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee, with consent of the Holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, evidenced as provided in the Indenture, to execute supplemental indentures for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of any supplemental indenture with respect to the Notes or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Notes; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall (i) extend the fixed maturity, or the earlier optional date of maturity, if any, of any Note, or reduce the principal amount thereof or the premium thereon, if any, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest, if any, thereon or make the principal thereof or premium, if any, or interest, if any, thereon payable in any currency other than as provided pursuant to the Indenture or this Note, without the consent of the Holders of each Note so affected; or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of the Notes, the Holders of which are required to consent to any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the Holders of all Notes then outstanding.

The Notes shall not be entitled to the benefit of any mandatory redemption, sinking fund or analogous provisions.

Upon such notice as specified below and in accordance with the Indenture and the terms of this Note, the Notes are subject to redemption at the election of the Company, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, on a date fixed for redemption (a “Redemption Date”) prior to the Par Call Date and at a “redemption price” (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of:

(1) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed discounted to the Redemption Date (assuming the Notes to be redeemed matured on the Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate, plus 7 basis points, less (b) interest accrued to the Redemption Date, and

(2) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed on such Redemption Date,

plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

In addition, on or after the Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

“Par Call Date” means July 14, 2027.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date prior to the Par Call Date, the yield determined by the Company in accordance with the following two paragraphs.

The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Company after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third business day preceding the Redemption Date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily)—H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities—Treasury constant maturities—Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading) (“H.15 TCM”). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Company shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the Redemption Date to the Par Call Date (the “Remaining Life”); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields—one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life—and shall interpolate to the Par Call Date on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the Redemption Date.

If on the third business day preceding the Redemption Date H.15 TCM is no longer published, the Company shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second business day preceding such Redemption Date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the Par Call Date. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the Par Call Date but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date and one with a maturity date following the Par Call Date, the Company shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the Par Call Date or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Company shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.

The Company’s actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on the Notes that are due and payable on each Interest Payment Date falling on or prior to a Redemption Date shall be payable on such Interest Payment Date to the Holder(s) as of the close of business on the Regular Record Date immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date.

Notice of any redemption will be mailed (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with the Depositary’s procedures) at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed. Each notice of redemption shall (i) specify the Redemption Date and the redemption price at which the Notes are to be redeemed, (ii) state the applicable conditions precedent to such redemption, if any, as described below, and (iii) state that payment of the redemption price of the Notes to be redeemed, together with interest accrued thereon to the Redemption Date (except that if such Redemption Date is an Interest Payment Date, such interest due on such date shall be payable to the Holder on the Regular Record Date for such Interest Payment Date), shall be made at the office or agency to be maintained by the Company in accordance with Section 5.02 of the Indenture (or, if desired by the Company, at the principal office of the Trustee) upon presentation and surrender of such Notes and that from and after said date any interest thereon shall cease to accrue.

Any notice of redemption may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including completion of a corporate transaction. In such event, the related notice of redemption shall describe each such condition and, if applicable, shall state that, at the Company’s discretion, the Redemption Date may be delayed until such time (including more

than 60 days after the notice of redemption was given) as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied (or waived by the Company in its sole discretion), or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied or waived by the Redemption Date, or by the Redemption Date so delayed. If any such redemption has been rescinded or delayed, the Company shall provide written notice to the Trustee prior to the close of business two Business Days prior to the Redemption Date and shall deliver a written request to the Trustee to promptly provide such notice to each Holder, and, upon receipt, the Trustee shall provide such notice to each Holder. Subject to any delay in the Redemption Date or rescission of the notice of redemption as described above, once notice of redemption is mailed, the Notes called for redemption shall become due and payable on the applicable Redemption Date at the applicable redemption price.

If fewer than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, selection of the Notes to be redeemed shall be made pro rata, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion deems appropriate and fair. No Notes of a principal amount of $2,000 or less shall be redeemed in part. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to the Note shall state the portion of the principal amount of the Note to be redeemed. Except in the case of Global Securities, a new Note in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Note shall be issued in the name of the Holder of the Note upon surrender for cancellation of the original Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as the Notes are held by the Depositary, the redemption of the Notes shall be done in accordance with the policies and procedures of the Depositary. Before any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with a Paying Agent (or the Trustee) money sufficient to pay the redemption price of the Notes to be redeemed on such date.

Unless the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price therefor, on and after the Redemption Date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or any portions of the Notes called for redemption. The Notes are subject to the defeasance provisions set forth in Section 12.02 of the Indenture.

The Company shall not pay any additional amounts on any of the Notes to any person, including any Holder who is not a United States person in respect of any tax, assessment or governmental charge withheld or deducted.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture or of any Board Resolution 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 and places and at the rate and in the coin and currency herein prescribed.

This Note is transferable by the Holder hereof in person or by his or her attorney duly authorized in writing on the books of the Company at the office or agency to be maintained by the Company for that purpose in the City of New York, but only in the manner, subject to the limitations and upon payment of any tax or governmental charge for which the Company may require reimbursement as provided in the Indenture, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Note. Upon any registration of transfer, a new registered Note or Notes, of authorized denomination or authorized denominations and like tenor and terms, and in the same aggregate principal amount, shall be issued to the transferee in exchange therefor.

The Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent and any Security Registrar may deem and treat the Holder hereof as the absolute owner of this Note (whether or not this Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notations of ownership or other writing hereon made by anyone other than the Security Registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal hereof and premium, if any, and interest due hereon as herein provided and for all other purposes, and none of the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or any Security Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on this Note, or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Indenture or any supplemental indenture thereto or any Board Resolution, against any Person other than the Company or against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, past, present or future, as such, of the Company or any other Person, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issuance of this Note, expressly waived and released.

This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The interest payable on any Interest Payment Date shall be payable to the person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on the February 1 and August 1 (whether or not a Business Day) immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date, except as otherwise provided in the Indenture.

If the Maturity Date or any Interest Payment Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, payable with respect to the Maturity Date or such Interest Payment Date, as the case may be, shall be paid on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the Maturity Date or such Interest Payment Date, as the case may be, and no additional interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after the Maturity Date or such Interest Payment Date, as the case may be, to the next succeeding Business Day. As used herein, “Business Day” shall mean any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law or regulation to close in the City of New York.

This Note is issued pursuant to, and shall be governed by, that certain Indenture (the “Indenture”), dated as of February 1, 1991, between the Company and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (as successor to Citibank, N.A.), as trustee (the “Trustee”). Capitalized terms used in this Note without definition shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Indenture.

The provisions of this Note are continued on the reverse hereof, and such continued provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as though fully set forth at this place.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee by the manual signature of one of its authorized officers, this Note shall not be entitled to the benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

[REVERSE OF NOTE]

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of a series of debt securities (the “Securities”) of the Company, designated as its 4.200% Notes due 2029 (the “Notes”). The Securities, including the Notes, are all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to the Indenture, to which Indenture, and all Board Resolutions and Officers’ Certificates as provided therein, reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitation of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes, and the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The Notes are initially limited to one billion Dollars ($1,000,000,000) in aggregate principal amount; provided, however, that the Company may at any time issue additional Securities under the Indenture in unlimited amounts having the same terms as the Notes other than the date of original issuance and the first Interest Payment Date applicable thereto, and such Securities shall be treated as a single series with the Notes for all purposes under the Indenture.

This Note shall constitute part of the Company’s unsecured and unsubordinated obligations and shall rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. This Note shall be issuable in fully registered form only, in minimum denominations of two thousand Dollars ($2,000) and any integral multiples of one thousand Dollars ($1,000) in excess of that amount.

In case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to this Note, the principal hereof may be declared due and payable, and upon such declaration shall become due and payable, in the manner, with the effect, and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture. The Indenture permits the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding to, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes and in the manner and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, waive certain past defaults and rescind and annul such past declarations and their consequences under the Indenture.

The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee, with consent of the Holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, evidenced as provided in the Indenture, to execute supplemental indentures for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of any supplemental indenture with respect to the Notes or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Notes; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall (i) extend the fixed maturity, or the earlier optional date of maturity, if any, of any Note, or reduce the principal amount thereof or the premium thereon, if any, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest, if any, thereon or make the principal thereof or premium, if any, or interest, if any, thereon payable in any currency other than as provided pursuant to the Indenture or this Note, without the consent of the Holders of each Note so affected; or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of the Notes, the Holders of which are required to consent to any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the Holders of all Notes then outstanding.

The Notes shall not be entitled to the benefit of any mandatory redemption, sinking fund or analogous provisions.

Upon such notice as specified below and in accordance with the Indenture and the terms of this Note, the Notes are subject to redemption at the election of the Company, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, on a date fixed for redemption (a “Redemption Date”) prior to the Par Call Date and at a “redemption price” (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of:

(1) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed discounted to the Redemption Date (assuming the Notes to be redeemed matured on the Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate, plus 10 basis points, less (b) interest accrued to the Redemption Date, and

(2) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed on such Redemption Date,

plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

In addition, on or after the Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

“Par Call Date” means July 14, 2029.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date prior to the Par Call Date, the yield determined by the Company in accordance with the following two paragraphs.

The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Company after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third business day preceding the Redemption Date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily)—H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities—Treasury constant maturities—Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading) (“H.15 TCM”). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Company shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the Redemption Date to the Par Call Date (the “Remaining Life”); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields—one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life—and shall interpolate to the Par Call Date on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the Redemption Date.

22

If on the third business day preceding the Redemption Date H.15 TCM is no longer published, the Company shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second business day preceding such Redemption Date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the Par Call Date. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the Par Call Date but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date and one with a maturity date following the Par Call Date, the Company shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the Par Call Date or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Company shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.

The Company’s actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on the Notes that are due and payable on each Interest Payment Date falling on or prior to a Redemption Date shall be payable on such Interest Payment Date to the Holder(s) as of the close of business on the Regular Record Date immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date.

Notice of any redemption will be mailed (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with the Depositary’s procedures) at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed. Each notice of redemption shall (i) specify the Redemption Date and the redemption price at which the Notes are to be redeemed, (ii) state the applicable conditions precedent to such redemption, if any, as described below, and (iii) state that payment of the redemption price of the Notes to be redeemed, together with interest accrued thereon to the Redemption Date (except that if such Redemption Date is an Interest Payment Date, such interest due on such date shall be payable to the Holder on the Regular Record Date for such Interest Payment Date), shall be made at the office or agency to be maintained by the Company in accordance with Section 5.02 of the Indenture (or, if desired by the Company, at the principal office of the Trustee) upon presentation and surrender of such Notes and that from and after said date any interest thereon shall cease to accrue.

Any notice of redemption may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including completion of a corporate transaction. In such event, the related notice of redemption shall describe each such condition and, if applicable, shall state that, at the Company’s discretion, the Redemption Date may be delayed until such time (including more

23

than 60 days after the notice of redemption was given) as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied (or waived by the Company in its sole discretion), or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied or waived by the Redemption Date, or by the Redemption Date so delayed. If any such redemption has been rescinded or delayed, the Company shall provide written notice to the Trustee prior to the close of business two Business Days prior to the Redemption Date and shall deliver a written request to the Trustee to promptly provide such notice to each Holder, and, upon receipt, the Trustee shall provide such notice to each Holder. Subject to any delay in the Redemption Date or rescission of the notice of redemption as described above, once notice of redemption is mailed, the Notes called for redemption shall become due and payable on the applicable Redemption Date at the applicable redemption price.

If fewer than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, selection of the Notes to be redeemed shall be made pro rata, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion deems appropriate and fair. No Notes of a principal amount of $2,000 or less shall be redeemed in part. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to the Note shall state the portion of the principal amount of the Note to be redeemed. Except in the case of Global Securities, a new Note in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Note shall be issued in the name of the Holder of the Note upon surrender for cancellation of the original Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as the Notes are held by the Depositary, the redemption of the Notes shall be done in accordance with the policies and procedures of the Depositary. Before any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with a Paying Agent (or the Trustee) money sufficient to pay the redemption price of the Notes to be redeemed on such date.

Unless the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price therefor, on and after the Redemption Date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or any portions of the Notes called for redemption. The Notes are subject to the defeasance provisions set forth in Section 12.02 of the Indenture.

The Company shall not pay any additional amounts on any of the Notes to any person, including any Holder who is not a United States person in respect of any tax, assessment or governmental charge withheld or deducted.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture or of any Board Resolution 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 and places and at the rate and in the coin and currency herein prescribed.

This Note is transferable by the Holder hereof in person or by his or her attorney duly authorized in writing on the books of the Company at the office or agency to be maintained by the Company for that purpose in the City of New York, but only in the manner, subject to the limitations and upon payment of any tax or governmental charge for which the Company may require reimbursement as provided in the Indenture, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Note. Upon any registration of transfer, a new registered Note or Notes, of authorized denomination or authorized denominations and like tenor and terms, and in the same aggregate principal amount, shall be issued to the transferee in exchange therefor.

24

The Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent and any Security Registrar may deem and treat the Holder hereof as the absolute owner of this Note (whether or not this Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notations of ownership or other writing hereon made by anyone other than the Security Registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal hereof and premium, if any, and interest due hereon as herein provided and for all other purposes, and none of the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or any Security Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on this Note, or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Indenture or any supplemental indenture thereto or any Board Resolution, against any Person other than the Company or against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, past, present or future, as such, of the Company or any other Person, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issuance of this Note, expressly waived and released.

This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

[REVERSE OF NOTE]

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of a series of debt securities (the “Securities”) of the Company, designated as its 4.600% Notes due 2034 (the “Notes”). The Securities, including the Notes, are all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to the Indenture, to which Indenture, and all Board Resolutions and Officers’ Certificates as provided therein, reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitation of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes, and the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The Notes are initially limited to one billion two hundred and fifty million Dollars ($1,250,000,000) in aggregate principal amount; provided, however, that the Company may at any time issue additional Securities under the Indenture in unlimited amounts having the same terms as the Notes other than the date of original issuance and the first Interest Payment Date applicable thereto, and such Securities shall be treated as a single series with the Notes for all purposes under the Indenture.

This Note shall constitute part of the Company’s unsecured and unsubordinated obligations and shall rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. This Note shall be issuable in fully registered form only, in minimum denominations of two thousand Dollars ($2,000) and any integral multiples of one thousand Dollars ($1,000) in excess of that amount.

In case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to this Note, the principal hereof may be declared due and payable, and upon such declaration shall become due and payable, in the manner, with the effect, and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture. The Indenture permits the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding to, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes and in the manner and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, waive certain past defaults and rescind and annul such past declarations and their consequences under the Indenture.

The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee, with consent of the Holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, evidenced as provided in the Indenture, to execute supplemental indentures for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of any supplemental indenture with respect to the Notes or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Notes; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall (i) extend the fixed maturity, or the earlier optional date of maturity, if any, of any Note, or reduce the principal amount thereof or the premium thereon, if any, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest, if any, thereon or make the principal thereof or premium, if any, or interest, if any, thereon payable in any currency other than as provided pursuant to the Indenture or this Note, without the consent of the Holders of each Note so affected; or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of the Notes, the Holders of which are required to consent to any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the Holders of all Notes then outstanding.

The Notes shall not be entitled to the benefit of any mandatory redemption, sinking fund or analogous provisions.

Upon such notice as specified below and in accordance with the Indenture and the terms of this Note, the Notes are subject to redemption at the election of the Company, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, on a date fixed for redemption (a “Redemption Date”) prior to the Par Call Date and at a “redemption price” (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of:

(1) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed discounted to the Redemption Date (assuming the Notes to be redeemed matured on the Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate, plus 12 basis points, less (b) interest accrued to the Redemption Date, and

(2) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed on such Redemption Date,

plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

In addition, on or after the Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

“Par Call Date” means May 14, 2034.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date prior to the Par Call Date, the yield determined by the Company in accordance with the following two paragraphs.

The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Company after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third business day preceding the Redemption Date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily)—H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities—Treasury constant maturities—Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading) (“H.15 TCM”). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Company shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the Redemption Date to the Par Call Date (the “Remaining Life”); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields—one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life—and shall interpolate to the Par Call Date on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the Redemption Date.

If on the third business day preceding the Redemption Date H.15 TCM is no longer published, the Company shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second business day preceding such Redemption Date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the Par Call Date. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the Par Call Date but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date and one with a maturity date following the Par Call Date, the Company shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the Par Call Date or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Company shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.

The Company’s actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on the Notes that are due and payable on each Interest Payment Date falling on or prior to a Redemption Date shall be payable on such Interest Payment Date to the Holder(s) as of the close of business on the Regular Record Date immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date.

Notice of any redemption will be mailed (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with the Depositary’s procedures) at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed. Each notice of redemption shall (i) specify the Redemption Date and the redemption price at which the Notes are to be redeemed, (ii) state the applicable conditions precedent to such redemption, if any, as described below, and (iii) state that payment of the redemption price of the Notes to be redeemed, together with interest accrued thereon to the Redemption Date (except that if such Redemption Date is an Interest Payment Date, such interest due on such date shall be payable to the Holder on the Regular Record Date for such Interest Payment Date), shall be made at the office or agency to be maintained by the Company in accordance with Section 5.02 of the Indenture (or, if desired by the Company, at the principal office of the Trustee) upon presentation and surrender of such Notes and that from and after said date any interest thereon shall cease to accrue.

Any notice of redemption may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including completion of a corporate transaction. In such event, the related notice of redemption shall describe each such condition and, if applicable, shall state that, at the Company’s discretion, the Redemption Date may be delayed until such time (including more

than 60 days after the notice of redemption was given) as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied (or waived by the Company in its sole discretion), or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied or waived by the Redemption Date, or by the Redemption Date so delayed. If any such redemption has been rescinded or delayed, the Company shall provide written notice to the Trustee prior to the close of business two Business Days prior to the Redemption Date and shall deliver a written request to the Trustee to promptly provide such notice to each Holder, and, upon receipt, the Trustee shall provide such notice to each Holder. Subject to any delay in the Redemption Date or rescission of the notice of redemption as described above, once notice of redemption is mailed, the Notes called for redemption shall become due and payable on the applicable Redemption Date at the applicable redemption price.

If fewer than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, selection of the Notes to be redeemed shall be made pro rata, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion deems appropriate and fair. No Notes of a principal amount of $2,000 or less shall be redeemed in part. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to the Note shall state the portion of the principal amount of the Note to be redeemed. Except in the case of Global Securities, a new Note in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Note shall be issued in the name of the Holder of the Note upon surrender for cancellation of the original Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as the Notes are held by the Depositary, the redemption of the Notes shall be done in accordance with the policies and procedures of the Depositary. Before any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with a Paying Agent (or the Trustee) money sufficient to pay the redemption price of the Notes to be redeemed on such date.

Unless the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price therefor, on and after the Redemption Date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or any portions of the Notes called for redemption. The Notes are subject to the defeasance provisions set forth in Section 12.02 of the Indenture.

The Company shall not pay any additional amounts on any of the Notes to any person, including any Holder who is not a United States person in respect of any tax, assessment or governmental charge withheld or deducted.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture or of any Board Resolution 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 and places and at the rate and in the coin and currency herein prescribed.

This Note is transferable by the Holder hereof in person or by his or her attorney duly authorized in writing on the books of the Company at the office or agency to be maintained by the Company for that purpose in the City of New York, but only in the manner, subject to the limitations and upon payment of any tax or governmental charge for which the Company may require reimbursement as provided in the Indenture, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Note. Upon any registration of transfer, a new registered Note or Notes, of authorized denomination or authorized denominations and like tenor and terms, and in the same aggregate principal amount, shall be issued to the transferee in exchange therefor.

The Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent and any Security Registrar may deem and treat the Holder hereof as the absolute owner of this Note (whether or not this Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notations of ownership or other writing hereon made by anyone other than the Security Registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal hereof and premium, if any, and interest due hereon as herein provided and for all other purposes, and none of the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or any Security Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on this Note, or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Indenture or any supplemental indenture thereto or any Board Resolution, against any Person other than the Company or against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, past, present or future, as such, of the Company or any other Person, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issuance of this Note, expressly waived and released.

This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

[REVERSE OF NOTE]

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of a series of debt securities (the “Securities”) of the Company, designated as its 5.050% Notes due 2054 (the “Notes”). The Securities, including the Notes, are all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to the Indenture, to which Indenture, and all Board Resolutions and Officers’ Certificates as provided therein, reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitation of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes, and the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The Notes are initially limited to one billion two hundred and fifty million Dollars ($1,250,000,000) in aggregate principal amount; provided, however, that the Company may at any time issue additional Securities under the Indenture in unlimited amounts having the same terms as the Notes other than the date of original issuance and the first Interest Payment Date applicable thereto, and such Securities shall be treated as a single series with the Notes for all purposes under the Indenture.

This Note shall constitute part of the Company’s unsecured and unsubordinated obligations and shall rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. This Note shall be issuable in fully registered form only, in minimum denominations of two thousand Dollars ($2,000) and any integral multiples of one thousand Dollars ($1,000) in excess of that amount.

In case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to this Note, the principal hereof may be declared due and payable, and upon such declaration shall become due and payable, in the manner, with the effect, and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture. The Indenture permits the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding to, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes and in the manner and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, waive certain past defaults and rescind and annul such past declarations and their consequences under the Indenture.

The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee, with consent of the Holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, evidenced as provided in the Indenture, to execute supplemental indentures for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of any supplemental indenture with respect to the Notes or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Notes; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall (i) extend the fixed maturity, or the earlier optional date of maturity, if any, of any Note, or reduce the principal amount thereof or the premium thereon, if any, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest, if any, thereon or make the principal thereof or premium, if any, or interest, if any, thereon payable in any currency other than as provided pursuant to the Indenture or this Note, without the consent of the Holders of each Note so affected; or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of the Notes, the Holders of which are required to consent to any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the Holders of all Notes then outstanding.

The Notes shall not be entitled to the benefit of any mandatory redemption, sinking fund or analogous provisions.

Upon such notice as specified below and in accordance with the Indenture and the terms of this Note, the Notes are subject to redemption at the election of the Company, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, on a date fixed for redemption (a “Redemption Date”) prior to the Par Call Date and at a “redemption price” (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of:

(1) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed discounted to the Redemption Date (assuming the Notes to be redeemed matured on the Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate, plus 15 basis points, less (b) interest accrued to the Redemption Date, and

(2) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed on such Redemption Date,

plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

In addition, on or after the Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

“Par Call Date” means February 14, 2054.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date prior to the Par Call Date, the yield determined by the Company in accordance with the following two paragraphs.

The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Company after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third business day preceding the Redemption Date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily)—H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities—Treasury constant maturities—Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading) (“H.15 TCM”). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Company shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the Redemption Date to the Par Call Date (the “Remaining Life”); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields—one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life—and shall interpolate to the Par Call Date on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the Redemption Date.

If on the third business day preceding the Redemption Date H.15 TCM is no longer published, the Company shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second business day preceding such Redemption Date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the Par Call Date. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the Par Call Date but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date and one with a maturity date following the Par Call Date, the Company shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the Par Call Date or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Company shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.

The Company’s actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on the Notes that are due and payable on each Interest Payment Date falling on or prior to a Redemption Date shall be payable on such Interest Payment Date to the Holder(s) as of the close of business on the Regular Record Date immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date.

Notice of any redemption will be mailed (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with the Depositary’s procedures) at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed. Each notice of redemption shall (i) specify the Redemption Date and the redemption price at which the Notes are to be redeemed, (ii) state the applicable conditions precedent to such redemption, if any, as described below, and (iii) state that payment of the redemption price of the Notes to be redeemed, together with interest accrued thereon to the Redemption Date (except that if such Redemption Date is an Interest Payment Date, such interest due on such date shall be payable to the Holder on the Regular Record Date for such Interest Payment Date), shall be made at the office or agency to be maintained by the Company in accordance with Section 5.02 of the Indenture (or, if desired by the Company, at the principal office of the Trustee) upon presentation and surrender of such Notes and that from and after said date any interest thereon shall cease to accrue.

Any notice of redemption may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including completion of a corporate transaction. In such event, the related notice of redemption shall describe each such condition and, if applicable, shall state that, at the Company’s discretion, the Redemption Date may be delayed until such time (including more

than 60 days after the notice of redemption was given) as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied (or waived by the Company in its sole discretion), or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied or waived by the Redemption Date, or by the Redemption Date so delayed. If any such redemption has been rescinded or delayed, the Company shall provide written notice to the Trustee prior to the close of business two Business Days prior to the Redemption Date and shall deliver a written request to the Trustee to promptly provide such notice to each Holder, and, upon receipt, the Trustee shall provide such notice to each Holder. Subject to any delay in the Redemption Date or rescission of the notice of redemption as described above, once notice of redemption is mailed, the Notes called for redemption shall become due and payable on the applicable Redemption Date at the applicable redemption price.

If fewer than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, selection of the Notes to be redeemed shall be made pro rata, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion deems appropriate and fair. No Notes of a principal amount of $2,000 or less shall be redeemed in part. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to the Note shall state the portion of the principal amount of the Note to be redeemed. Except in the case of Global Securities, a new Note in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Note shall be issued in the name of the Holder of the Note upon surrender for cancellation of the original Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as the Notes are held by the Depositary, the redemption of the Notes shall be done in accordance with the policies and procedures of the Depositary. Before any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with a Paying Agent (or the Trustee) money sufficient to pay the redemption price of the Notes to be redeemed on such date.

Unless the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price therefor, on and after the Redemption Date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or any portions of the Notes called for redemption. The Notes are subject to the defeasance provisions set forth in Section 12.02 of the Indenture.

The Company shall not pay any additional amounts on any of the Notes to any person, including any Holder who is not a United States person in respect of any tax, assessment or governmental charge withheld or deducted.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture or of any Board Resolution 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 and places and at the rate and in the coin and currency herein prescribed.

This Note is transferable by the Holder hereof in person or by his or her attorney duly authorized in writing on the books of the Company at the office or agency to be maintained by the Company for that purpose in the City of New York, but only in the manner, subject to the limitations and upon payment of any tax or governmental charge for which the Company may require reimbursement as provided in the Indenture, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Note. Upon any registration of transfer, a new registered Note or Notes, of authorized denomination or authorized denominations and like tenor and terms, and in the same aggregate principal amount, shall be issued to the transferee in exchange therefor.

The Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent and any Security Registrar may deem and treat the Holder hereof as the absolute owner of this Note (whether or not this Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notations of ownership or other writing hereon made by anyone other than the Security Registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal hereof and premium, if any, and interest due hereon as herein provided and for all other purposes, and none of the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or any Security Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on this Note, or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Indenture or any supplemental indenture thereto or any Board Resolution, against any Person other than the Company or against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, past, present or future, as such, of the Company or any other Person, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issuance of this Note, expressly waived and released.

This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

[REVERSE OF NOTE]

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of a series of debt securities (the “Securities”) of the Company, designated as its 5.200% Notes due 2064 (the “Notes”). The Securities, including the Notes, are all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to the Indenture, to which Indenture, and all Board Resolutions and Officers’ Certificates as provided therein, reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitation of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes, and the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The Notes are initially limited to seven hundred and fifty million Dollars ($750,000,000) in aggregate principal amount; provided, however, that the Company may at any time issue additional Securities under the Indenture in unlimited amounts having the same terms as the Notes other than the date of original issuance and the first Interest Payment Date applicable thereto, and such Securities shall be treated as a single series with the Notes for all purposes under the Indenture.

This Note shall constitute part of the Company’s unsecured and unsubordinated obligations and shall rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. This Note shall be issuable in fully registered form only, in minimum denominations of two thousand Dollars ($2,000) and any integral multiples of one thousand Dollars ($1,000) in excess of that amount.

In case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to this Note, the principal hereof may be declared due and payable, and upon such declaration shall become due and payable, in the manner, with the effect, and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture. The Indenture permits the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding to, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes and in the manner and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, waive certain past defaults and rescind and annul such past declarations and their consequences under the Indenture.

The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee, with consent of the Holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, evidenced as provided in the Indenture, to execute supplemental indentures for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of any supplemental indenture with respect to the Notes or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Notes; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall (i) extend the fixed maturity, or the earlier optional date of maturity, if any, of any Note, or reduce the principal amount thereof or the premium thereon, if any, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest, if any, thereon or make the principal thereof or premium, if any, or interest, if any, thereon payable in any currency other than as provided pursuant to the Indenture or this Note, without the consent of the Holders of each Note so affected; or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of the Notes, the Holders of which are required to consent to any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the Holders of all Notes then outstanding.

The Notes shall not be entitled to the benefit of any mandatory redemption, sinking fund or analogous provisions.

Upon such notice as specified below and in accordance with the Indenture and the terms of this Note, the Notes are subject to redemption at the election of the Company, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, on a date fixed for redemption (a “Redemption Date”) prior to the Par Call Date and at a “redemption price” (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of:

(1) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed discounted to the Redemption Date (assuming the Notes to be redeemed matured on the Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate, plus 15 basis points, less (b) interest accrued to the Redemption Date, and

(2) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed on such Redemption Date,

plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

In addition, on or after the Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

“Par Call Date” means February 14, 2064.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date prior to the Par Call Date, the yield determined by the Company in accordance with the following two paragraphs.

The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Company after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third business day preceding the Redemption Date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily)—H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities—Treasury constant maturities—Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading) (“H.15 TCM”). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Company shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the Redemption Date to the Par Call Date (the “Remaining Life”); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields—one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life—and shall interpolate to the Par Call Date on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the Redemption Date.

If on the third business day preceding the Redemption Date H.15 TCM is no longer published, the Company shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second business day preceding such Redemption Date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the Par Call Date. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the Par Call Date but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date and one with a maturity date following the Par Call Date, the Company shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the Par Call Date or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Company shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.

The Company’s actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on the Notes that are due and payable on each Interest Payment Date falling on or prior to a Redemption Date shall be payable on such Interest Payment Date to the Holder(s) as of the close of business on the Regular Record Date immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date.

Notice of any redemption will be mailed (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with the Depositary’s procedures) at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed. Each notice of redemption shall (i) specify the Redemption Date and the redemption price at which the Notes are to be redeemed, (ii) state the applicable conditions precedent to such redemption, if any, as described below, and (iii) state that payment of the redemption price of the Notes to be redeemed, together with interest accrued thereon to the Redemption Date (except that if such Redemption Date is an Interest Payment Date, such interest due on such date shall be payable to the Holder on the Regular Record Date for such Interest Payment Date), shall be made at the office or agency to be maintained by the Company in accordance with Section 5.02 of the Indenture (or, if desired by the Company, at the principal office of the Trustee) upon presentation and surrender of such Notes and that from and after said date any interest thereon shall cease to accrue.

Any notice of redemption may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including completion of a corporate transaction. In such event, the related notice of redemption shall describe each such condition and, if applicable, shall state that, at the Company’s discretion, the Redemption Date may be delayed until such time (including more

than 60 days after the notice of redemption was given) as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied (or waived by the Company in its sole discretion), or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied or waived by the Redemption Date, or by the Redemption Date so delayed. If any such redemption has been rescinded or delayed, the Company shall provide written notice to the Trustee prior to the close of business two Business Days prior to the Redemption Date and shall deliver a written request to the Trustee to promptly provide such notice to each Holder, and, upon receipt, the Trustee shall provide such notice to each Holder. Subject to any delay in the Redemption Date or rescission of the notice of redemption as described above, once notice of redemption is mailed, the Notes called for redemption shall become due and payable on the applicable Redemption Date at the applicable redemption price.

If fewer than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, selection of the Notes to be redeemed shall be made pro rata, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion deems appropriate and fair. No Notes of a principal amount of $2,000 or less shall be redeemed in part. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to the Note shall state the portion of the principal amount of the Note to be redeemed. Except in the case of Global Securities, a new Note in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Note shall be issued in the name of the Holder of the Note upon surrender for cancellation of the original Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as the Notes are held by the Depositary, the redemption of the Notes shall be done in accordance with the policies and procedures of the Depositary. Before any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with a Paying Agent (or the Trustee) money sufficient to pay the redemption price of the Notes to be redeemed on such date.

Unless the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price therefor, on and after the Redemption Date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or any portions of the Notes called for redemption. The Notes are subject to the defeasance provisions set forth in Section 12.02 of the Indenture.

The Company shall not pay any additional amounts on any of the Notes to any person, including any Holder who is not a United States person in respect of any tax, assessment or governmental charge withheld or deducted.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture or of any Board Resolution 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 and places and at the rate and in the coin and currency herein prescribed.

This Note is transferable by the Holder hereof in person or by his or her attorney duly authorized in writing on the books of the Company at the office or agency to be maintained by the Company for that purpose in the City of New York, but only in the manner, subject to the limitations and upon payment of any tax or governmental charge for which the Company may require reimbursement as provided in the Indenture, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Note. Upon any registration of transfer, a new registered Note or Notes, of authorized denomination or authorized denominations and like tenor and terms, and in the same aggregate principal amount, shall be issued to the transferee in exchange therefor.

The Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent and any Security Registrar may deem and treat the Holder hereof as the absolute owner of this Note (whether or not this Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notations of ownership or other writing hereon made by anyone other than the Security Registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal hereof and premium, if any, and interest due hereon as herein provided and for all other purposes, and none of the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or any Security Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on this Note, or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Indenture or any supplemental indenture thereto or any Board Resolution, against any Person other than the Company or against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, past, present or future, as such, of the Company or any other Person, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issuance of this Note, expressly waived and released.

This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
