In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new<br \/>\nNote of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof and otherwise having the<br \/>\nsame terms and provisions as this Note shall be issued by the Company in the<br \/>\nname of the Holder hereof upon the presentation and surrender hereof.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">6<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<hr>\n<\/p>\n<p>Unless otherwise specified above, the &#8220;Redemption Price&#8221; shall be the Initial<br \/>\nRedemption Percentage specified on the face hereof (as adjusted by the Annual<br \/>\nRedemption Percentage Reduction, if any, specified on the face hereof )<br \/>\nmultiplied by the principal amount of this Note to be redeemed.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>This Note may be subject to repayment by the Company at the option of the<br \/>\nHolder hereof on the Optional Repayment Date(s), if any, specified on the face<br \/>\nhereof, in whole or in part in increments of U.S. $1,000 (provided that any<br \/>\nremaining principal amount hereof shall be at least U.S. $1,000), at a repayment<br \/>\nprice equal to 100% of the principal amount to be repaid, together with unpaid<br \/>\ninterest accrued thereon to the date fixed for repayment (the &#8220;Repayment Date&#8221;).<br \/>\nFor this Note to be repaid in whole or in part at the option of the Holder<br \/>\nhereof, the Trustee must receive at its corporate trust office not more than 60<br \/>\nnor less than 30 calendar days prior to the Repayment Date, this Note with the<br \/>\nform entitled &#8220;Option to Elect Repayment&#8221; below duly completed. Exercise of such<br \/>\nrepayment option by the Holder hereof shall be irrevocable. In the event of<br \/>\nrepayment of this Note in part only, a new Note of like tenor for the unrepaid<br \/>\nportion hereof and otherwise having the same terms and provisions as this Note<br \/>\nshall be issued by the Company in the name of the Holder hereof upon the<br \/>\npresentation and surrender hereof.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>If the Discount Note box above is checked, the amount payable to the Holder<br \/>\nof this Note in the event of redemption, repayment or acceleration of maturity<br \/>\nwill be equal to the sum of (i) the Issue Price specified on the face hereof<br \/>\n(increased by any accruals of the Discount, as defined below, and reduced by any<br \/>\namounts of principal previously paid) and, in the event of any redemption of<br \/>\nthis Note (if applicable), multiplied by the Initial Redemption Percentage (as<br \/>\nadjusted by the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction, if applicable) and (ii)<br \/>\nany unpaid interest accrued hereon to the Redemption Date, Repayment Date or<br \/>\ndate of acceleration of maturity, as the case may be. The difference between the<br \/>\nIssue Price specified above and 100% of the principal amount of this Note is<br \/>\nreferred to herein as the &#8220;Discount&#8221;.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>For purposes of determining the amount of Discount that has accrued as of any<br \/>\nRedemption Date, Repayment Date or date of acceleration of maturity of this<br \/>\nNote, such Discount will be accrued so as to cause the yield on the Note to be<br \/>\nconstant. The constant yield will be calculated using a 30-day month, 360-day<br \/>\nyear convention, a compounding period that, except for the Initial Period (as<br \/>\ndefined below), corresponds to the shortest period between Interest Payment<br \/>\nDates (with ratable accruals within a compounding period) and an assumption that<br \/>\nthe maturity of this Note will not be accelerated. If the period from the<br \/>\nOriginal Issue Date to the initial Interest Payment Date (the &#8220;Initial Period&#8221;)<br \/>\nis shorter than the compounding period for this Note, a proportionate amount of<br \/>\nthe yield for an entire compounding period will be accrued. If the Initial<br \/>\nPeriod is longer than the compounding period, then such period will be divided<br \/>\ninto a regular compounding period and a short period, with the short period<br \/>\nbeing treated as provided in the preceding sentence.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">7<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<hr>\n<\/p>\n<p>If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the<br \/>\nNotes may be accelerated in the manner and with the effect provided in the<br \/>\nIndenture.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the<br \/>\namendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the<br \/>\nCompany and the rights of the Holders of any series of Debt Securities to be<br \/>\nadversely affected thereby at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the<br \/>\nconsent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of each<br \/>\nseries of Debt Securities at the time outstanding, adversely affected thereby.<br \/>\nThe Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified<br \/>\npercentages in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities of<br \/>\neach series, on behalf of the Holders of Debt Securities of such series, to<br \/>\nwaive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and<br \/>\ncertain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such<br \/>\nconsent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding<br \/>\nupon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued<br \/>\nupon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu<br \/>\nhereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this<br \/>\nNote.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the<br \/>\nIndenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute<br \/>\nand unconditional, to pay principal, premium, if any, and interest in respect of<br \/>\nthis Note at the times, places and rate or formula, and in the coin or currency,<br \/>\nherein prescribed.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set<br \/>\nforth, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Security Register of<br \/>\nthe Company upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the<br \/>\noffice or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New<br \/>\nYork, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in<br \/>\nform satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by,<br \/>\nthe Holder hereof or by his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon<br \/>\none or more new Notes of Authorized Denominations and for the same aggregate<br \/>\nprincipal amount with the same terms and provisions, will be issued by the<br \/>\nCompany to the designated transferee or transferees.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>The Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons and, if<br \/>\npayable in U.S. dollars, only in denominations of U.S.$1,000 and any integral<br \/>\nmultiple of U.S. $1,000.
