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, as applicable. 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

6

amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.

“Voting Stock” means, with respect to any specified “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) as of any date, the Capital Stock of such person that is at the time entitled to vote generally in the election of the board of directors of such person.

(d) a court having jurisdiction in the premises shall enter a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in an involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee or sequestrator (or similar official) of the Company or

(f) (i) a default occurs under any instrument under which there is outstanding, or by which there may be secured or evidenced, any indebtedness of the Company for money borrowed by the Company (other than non-recourse indebtedness) which results in acceleration of, or non-payment at maturity (after giving effect to any applicable grace period) of, such indebtedness in an amount exceeding $50,000,000, in which case the Company shall immediately give notice to the Trustee of such acceleration or non-payment and (ii) there shall have been a failure to cure such default or to discharge such defaulted indebtedness within ten days after notice thereof to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding; provided, however, that no such Event of Default described in this paragraph (f) shall exist as long as the Company is contesting any such default or acceleration in good faith and by appropriate proceedings.

ARTICLE 6

REDEMPTION

Section 6.01. Optional Redemption.

(a) Prior to the Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the Notes at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, upon written notice, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of:

(i) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the redemption date (assuming the Notes 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 20 basis points less (b) interest accrued to the date of redemption, and

(ii) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed,

plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date.

(b) 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, upon written notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date.

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

Section 6.02. Special Mandatory Redemption.

If (i) the Mott Acquisition is not consummated on or before the later of (a) November 20, 2024 or (b) such later date to which the outside date under the Mott Acquisition Agreement may be extended in accordance with the terms thereof, any such extension to be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee prior to the close of business on November 20, 2024 (the later of (a) and (b) being referred to herein as the “Special Mandatory Redemption End Date”), (ii) prior to the Special Mandatory Redemption End Date, the Mott Acquisition Agreement is terminated according to its terms without the closing of the Mott Acquisition or (iii) the Company otherwise notifies the Trustee in writing that the Company will not pursue the consummation of the Mott Acquisition (any event in clause (i), (ii) or (iii), a “Special Mandatory Redemption Event”), then the Company shall be required to redeem the Notes at a special mandatory redemption price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Special Mandatory Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders of the Notes of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date falling prior to the Special Mandatory Redemption Date) (the “Special Mandatory Redemption Price”)

10

(such redemption, a “Special Mandatory Redemption”). Unless the Company defaults in payment of the Special Mandatory Redemption Price, on and after such Special Mandatory Redemption Date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes to be redeemed.

In the event that the Company becomes obligated to redeem the Notes pursuant to the Special Mandatory Redemption, the Company shall promptly, and in any event not more than five Business Days after the Special Mandatory Redemption Event, deliver notice to the Trustee of the Special Mandatory Redemption and the date upon which the Notes shall be redeemed (the “Special Mandatory Redemption Date”), which date shall be no later than the tenth Business Day following the date of such notice unless some longer minimum period may be required by DTC (or any successor Depositary), together with a notice of Special Mandatory Redemption for the Trustee to deliver to each registered Holder of Notes. The Trustee shall then, within two Business Days of its receipt of such notice, promptly mail or electronically deliver (or otherwise transmit in accordance with the Depositary’s procedures) such notice of Special Mandatory Redemption to each registered Holder of the Notes in the name and at the expense of the Company.

On or before the Special Mandatory Redemption Date, the Company shall pay to a paying agent for payment to each Holder of the Notes the Special Mandatory Redemption Price for such Holder’s Notes.

Failure to make the Special Mandatory Redemption, if required in accordance with the terms described above, shall constitute an Event of Default with respect to the Notes.

Upon the consummation of the Mott Acquisition, the provisions of this Section 6.02 shall cease to apply. For the purposes of the Mott Acquisition, the Mott Acquisition shall be deemed consummated if the closing under the Mott Acquisition Agreement occurs, including after giving effect to any amendments or modifications to the Mott Acquisition Agreement or waivers thereunder.

Section 6.03. Notice of Redemption; Partial Redemptions. The provisions of the first, third and fourth paragraphs of Section 12.02 of the Base Indenture shall be replaced with the following in respect of any optional redemption of the Notes:

“Notice of redemption to the Holders of Notes to be redeemed as a whole or in part at the option of the Issuer shall be given by mailing notice of such redemption by first class mail, postage prepaid, or sending electronically pursuant to applicable DTC procedures, at least 10 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption to such Holders of Notes at their last addresses as they shall appear upon the Security register. Any notice which is given in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives the notice. Failure to give notice or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Note designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Security of such series.

The election of the Issuer to redeem any Notes shall be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate which states that such election has been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action on the part of the Issuer delivered to the Trustee at least 5 days prior to the date notice of redemption is to be given to the Holders (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee). If the redemption price is not known at the time such notice is to be given, the actual redemption price, calculated as described in the terms of the Securities, shall be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer delivered to the Trustee no later than two Business Days prior to the date fixed for redemption. The notice of redemption of Notes to be redeemed at the option of the Issuer shall be given (i) by the Issuer or (ii) upon Issuer Order delivered to the Trustee together with such notice of redemption at least 5 days prior to the date such notice of redemption is to be given to the Holders (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer.

On or before 11:00 A.M., New York City time, of the redemption date specified in the notice of redemption given as provided in this Section, the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee or with one or more paying agents (or, if the Issuer is acting as its own paying agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 3.04) an amount of money sufficient to redeem on the redemption date all the Notes so called for redemption (other than those theretofore surrendered for conversion into Common Stock) at the appropriate redemption price, together with accrued interest to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption. If any Note called for redemption is converted pursuant hereto, any money deposited with the Trustee or any paying

11

agent or so segregated and held in trust for the redemption of such Note shall be paid to the Issuer upon the Issuer’s request, or, if then held by the Issuer, shall be discharged from such trust. The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee at least 15 days prior to the date fixed for redemption (unless a shorter time period shall be acceptable to the Trustee) an Officer’s Certificate (which need not comply with Section 11.05) stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed. In case of a redemption at the election of the Issuer prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, prior to the giving of any notice of redemption to Holders pursuant to this Section, an Officer’s Certificate stating that such restriction has been complied with.”

Section 6.04. Applicability of Sections of the Base Indenture. The provisions of Article 12 of the Base Indenture in respect of the Notes shall apply to any optional redemption of the Notes except when such provisions conflict with the foregoing.

ARTICLE 7

DEFEASANCE

Section 7.01. Defeasance. If the Company shall effect a defeasance of the Notes pursuant to Article 10 of the Base Indenture, the Company shall cease to have any obligation to comply with the covenants set forth in Article 3 hereof.

Section 7.02. Amendment of Section 10.01(b)(iv) of the Base Indenture. Solely for the purposes of the Notes, Section 10.01(b)(iv) of the Base Indenture is hereby amended by replacing that section in its entirety with the following:

“the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel from a nationally recognized counsel acceptable to the Trustee or a private letter ruling issued by the United States Internal Revenue Service to the effect that the beneficial owners will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States Federal income tax purposes as a result of the Issuer’s exercise of its option under this Section 10.01(b) and will be subject to United States Federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such option had not been exercised;”

Dated:

[FORM OF REVERSE OF NOTE]

This Note is one of the duly authorized securities of the Company (herein called the “Notes”) issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture dated as of December 6, 2010 (the “Base Indenture”), as amended by a Fifth Supplemental Indenture dated as of August 21, 2024 (the “Fifth Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), between the Company and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as successor to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture with respect to the series of Notes represented hereby), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Note is a Global Note representing the Company’s 4.950% Senior Notes due 2029 in the aggregate principal amount of $[ ].

The amount of interest payable on any interest payment date shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. In the event that any date on which interest is payable on this Note is not a Business Day, then payment of interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay) with the same force and effect as if made on such interest payment date.

The Notes of this series are issuable only in fully registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 above that amount.

Prior to August 1, 2029 (the “Par Call Date”), the Company may redeem the Notes at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, upon written notice, 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 thereon discounted to the redemption date (assuming the Notes 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 20 basis points less (b) interest accrued to the date of redemption, and (2) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date.

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, upon written notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption 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, as applicable. 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.

If (i) the Mott Acquisition is not consummated on or before the later of (a) November 20, 2024 or (b) such later date to which the outside date under the Mott Acquisition Agreement may be extended in accordance with the terms thereof, any such extension to be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee prior to the close of business on November 20, 2024 (the later of (a) and (b) being referred to herein as the “Special Mandatory Redemption End Date”), (ii) prior to the Special Mandatory Redemption End Date, the Mott Acquisition Agreement is terminated according to its terms without the closing of the Mott Acquisition or (iii) the Company otherwise notifies the Trustee in writing that the Company will not pursue the consummation of the Mott Acquisition (any event in clause (i), (ii) or (iii), a “Special Mandatory Redemption Event”), then the Company will be required to redeem the Notes at a special mandatory redemption price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Special Mandatory Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders of the Notes of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date falling prior to the Special Mandatory Redemption Date) (the “Special Mandatory Redemption Price”) (such redemption, a “Special Mandatory Redemption”). Unless the Company defaults in payment of the Special Mandatory Redemption Price, on and after such Special Mandatory Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes to be redeemed.

In the event that the Company becomes obligated to redeem the Notes pursuant to the Special Mandatory Redemption, the Company will promptly, and in any event not more than five Business Days after the Special Mandatory Redemption Event, deliver notice to the Trustee of the Special Mandatory Redemption and the date upon which the Notes will be redeemed (the “Special Mandatory Redemption Date”), which date shall be no later than the tenth Business Day following the date of such notice unless some longer minimum period may be required by DTC (or any successor Depositary), together with a notice of Special Mandatory Redemption for the Trustee to deliver to each registered Holder of Notes. The Trustee will then, within two Business Days of its receipt of such notice, promptly mail or electronically deliver (or otherwise transmit in accordance with the Depositary’s procedures) such notice of Special Mandatory Redemption to each registered Holder of the Notes in the name and at the expense of the Company.

On or before the Special Mandatory Redemption Date, the Company will pay to a paying agent for payment to each Holder of the Notes the Special Mandatory Redemption Price for such Holder’s Notes.

Failure to make the Special Mandatory Redemption, if required in accordance with the terms described above, will constitute an Event of Default with respect to the Notes.

Upon the consummation of the Mott Acquisition, the foregoing provisions regarding Special Mandatory Redemption will cease to apply. For the purposes of the Mott Acquisition, the Mott Acquisition will be deemed consummated if the closing under the Mott Acquisition Agreement occurs, including after giving effect to any amendments or modifications to the Mott Acquisition Agreement or waivers thereunder.

If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, unless the Company has exercised its option (or obligation, as the case may be) to redeem the Notes as described above, the Company shall be required to make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder of the Notes to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes on the terms set forth herein. In a Change of Control Offer, the Company shall be required to offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to, but not including, the repurchase date (a “Change of Control Payment”).

Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event or, at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control, but after public announcement of the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control, a notice shall be mailed or sent electronically pursuant to applicable DTC procedures to Holders of the Notes with a copy to the Trustee describing the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase such Notes on the repurchase date specified in the applicable notice, which date shall be no earlier than 10 days and no later than 60 days from the date on which such notice is mailed or sent (a “Change of Control Payment Date”).

The notice shall, if mailed or sent prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the Change of Control Triggering Event occurring prior to or on the applicable Change of Control Payment Date specified in the notice.

On each Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful: (i) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the applicable Change of Control Offer; (ii) no later than 10:00 a.m. New York City time, deposit with the paying agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the applicable Change of Control Offer; and (iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being repurchased.

The Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company, and the third party repurchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.

The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any such securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Notes, the Company shall comply with those securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Notes by virtue of any such conflict.

“Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following:

(a) the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or more series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets and its Subsidiaries’ assets, taken as a whole, to any person, other than the Company or one of the Company’s subsidiaries; provided, however, that none of the circumstances in this clause (a) shall be a Change of Control if the persons that beneficially own the Company’s Voting Stock immediately prior to the transaction own, directly or indirectly, shares with a majority of the total voting power of all outstanding voting securities of the surviving or transferee person that are entitled to vote generally in the election of that person’s board of directors, managers or trustees immediately after the transaction;

(b) the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation), the result of which is that any person becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Company’s outstanding Voting Stock or other Voting Stock into which the Company’s Voting Stock is reclassified, consolidated, exchanged or changed, measured by voting power rather than number of shares;

(c) the Company consolidates with, or merges with or into, any person, or any person consolidates with, or merges with or into, the Company, in any such event pursuant to a transaction in which any of the Company’s outstanding

Voting Stock or the Voting Stock of such other person is converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property, other than any such transaction where the shares of the Company’s Voting Stock outstanding immediately prior to such transaction constitute, or are converted into or exchanged for, a majority of the Voting Stock of the surviving person or any direct or indirect parent company of the surviving person immediately after giving effect to such transaction; or

(d) the adoption of a plan relating to the liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

As used in this definition, the term “person” has the meaning given thereto in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act. As used in this definition, the term “beneficial owner” has the meaning given thereto in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 of the Exchange Act.

“Voting Stock” means, with respect to any specified “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) as of any date, the Capital Stock of such person that is at the time entitled to vote generally in the election of the board of directors of such person.

The Notes are initially limited to $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount. The Company may from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the Holders of the Notes, create and issue additional Notes ranking equally with the Notes in all respects (or in all respects other than the payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date of such further Notes or except for the first payment of interest following the issue date of such further Notes). Such further Notes may be consolidated and form a single series with the Notes and have the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise as the Notes; provided that the Notes and such further Notes must be fungible with each other for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

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

The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of the Company to, among other things, merge or consolidate with any other Person or sell, convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its assets to any Person, and requires that the Company comply with certain further covenants, such as Limitations on Liens and Limitations on Sale and Leaseback Transactions. All such covenants and limitations are subject to a number of important qualifications and exceptions.

The Indenture contains provisions for the defeasance at any time of (a) the entire indebtedness of the Company on this Note and (b) certain restrictive covenants and the related defaults and Events of Default, upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set forth therein, which provisions apply to this Note.

If an Event of Default with respect to Notes of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Notes of this series may (subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture) be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

The Indenture contains provisions permitting, with certain exceptions therein provided, the Company and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the Holders of the Outstanding Notes, to modify and amend the Indenture for the purpose of, among other things, curing any ambiguity or correcting or supplementing any provision contained in the Indenture which may be defective, mistaken or inconsistent with any other provision contained in the Indenture.

The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, on behalf of the Holders of all Notes, to waive any past default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any of the Notes or in respect of a covenant or other provision which, under the terms of the Indenture, cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note.

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

No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in the Indenture or any supplemental indenture, or in any Note, or because of any indebtedness evidenced thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, as such, or against any past, present or future stockholder, officer or director, as such, of the Company or of any successor, either directly or through the Company or any successor, under any rule of law, statute or constitutional provision or by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise, all such liability being expressly waived and released by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof.

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

All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
