Redemption:
in whole or from time to time in part, at our option at a redemption price equal to the greater of

·
100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, and

·
as determined by the quotation agent (as defined below), the sum of the present values of the

remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on the notes to be redeemed (not
including any interest accrued to the redemption date) discounted to the redemption date on a
semi-annual basis assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months at the treasury
rate (defined below) plus, in the case of the 1.625% Notes due 2019, 5 basis points, or in the
case of the 3.875% Notes due 2044, 12.5 basis points

plus, in the case of both clauses above, accrued and unpaid interest on the notes to be redeemed to the
redemption date.

"Treasury rate" means, with respect to any redemption date, the annual rate equal to the semi-annual
equivalent yield to maturity of the comparable treasury issue, assuming a price of the comparable
treasury issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the comparable treasury
price for that redemption date.

"Comparable treasury issue" means the United States Treasury security selected by the quotation
agent as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of notes to be redeemed that would be
utilized, at the time of a selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new
issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the notes to be
redeemed.

"Comparable treasury price" means, with respect to any redemption date, (i) the average of at least
three reference treasury dealer quotations for that redemption date, after excluding the highest and
lowest of five or more reference treasury dealer quotations, or (ii) if the Trustee obtains fewer than
five reference dealer quotations, the average of all reference treasury dealer quotations so obtained.

"Quotation agent" means the reference treasury dealer appointed by the Company.

"Reference treasury dealer" means (i) each of Goldman, Sachs & Co., Merrill Lynch, Pierce,
Fenner & Smith Incorporated and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and their respective successors;
however, if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New
York City (a "primary treasury dealer"), the Company will substitute another primary treasury
dealer; and (ii) any other primary treasury dealer(s) selected by the Company.

"Reference treasury dealer quotations" means, with respect to each reference treasury dealer and
any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Company, of the bid and asked prices for the
comparable treasury issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in
writing to the Trustee by the reference treasury dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third
business day preceding the redemption date.

In the case of a partial redemption of either the 1.625% Notes due 2019 or the 3.875% Notes due
2044, selection of the notes for redemption will be made pro rata, by lot or such other method as the
Trustee in its sole discretion deems appropriate and fair. The notes will be redeemed in denominations
of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. Notice of any redemption will be mailed
by first class mail at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder
of the notes to be redeemed at its registered address. If any notes are to be redeemed in part only, the
notice of redemption that relates to such notes will state the portion of such notes to be redeemed. New
notes in principal amounts of at least $2,000 equal to the unredeemed portion of the notes will be
issued in the name of the holder of the notes upon surrender for cancellation of the original notes.
Unless the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date,
