All payments of principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Notes will be made in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts, and all references herein to “United States dollars”, “U.S.$” or “U.S. dollars” shall be deemed to refer to such coin or currency of the United States of America.
The principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Notes shall be payable, and the Notes may be surrendered for exchange, registration, transfer or discharge from registration, at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and in such other places as the Issuer may from time to time designate in accordance with the Original Indenture. The Trustee is hereby appointed as the initial Paying Agent, registrar and transfer agent for the Notes.
The Notes of each series shall be issued only as fully registered Notes, without coupons, in denominations of U.S.$2,000 and integral multiples of U.S.$1,000 thereafter. Each series of Notes will initially be represented by one or more global Securities (collectively, the “Global Notes”) registered in the name of The Depository Trust Company, as Depositary or its nominee, or a successor depositary or its nominee.
The certificates representing the Notes shall bear the following legend:

The 2024 Notes, 2026 Notes, 2031 Notes, 2041 Notes and 2051 Notes and the certificate of authentication of the Trustee endorsed thereon shall be in the form set out in Schedules A1–A5 to this Fifth Supplemental Indenture with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and variations as the Trustee may approve and shall be numbered in such manner as the Trustee may approve, such approvals of the Trustee concerning the Note to be conclusively evidenced by its certification of the Note.
The Security Register referred to in Section 3.05 of the Original Indenture shall, with respect to the Notes, be kept at the office or agency that the Issuer may from time to time designate for such purpose (which shall initially be the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee), and at such other place or places as the Issuer with the approval of the Trustee may hereafter designate.
The Notes shall be subject to redemption at the option of the Issuer as provided in Article 3 (Optional Redemption of Notes) of this Fifth Supplemental Indenture and Article 10 of the Original Indenture and the Notes shall be subject to repurchase by the Issuer as provided in Article 4 (Change of Control) of this Fifth Supplemental Indenture.

The Securities are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of US$2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Securities are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

-4-
condition, as the case may be, or (ii) the Corporation determines that the Securities shall no longer be represented by a global Security or Securities, then in such event the Corporation will execute and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver Securities in definitive registered form, in authorized denominations, and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of this Security in exchange for this Security. Such Securities in definitive registered form shall be registered in such names and issued in such authorized denominations as the Depositary, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver such Securities to the Persons in whose names such Securities are so registered.
The Indenture and this Security shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities affected thereby, to waive compliance by the Corporation with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by or on behalf of the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable on the Security Register of the Corporation, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Corporation maintained or caused to be maintained for such purpose in New York, New York duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Corporation and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Securities are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of US$2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Securities are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
-4-
No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Corporation may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Interest on this Security shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
For the purposes only of the disclosure required by the Interest Act (Canada), and without affecting the amount of interest payable to any holder of a Security or the calculation of interest on any Security, if the rate of interest on any Security is calculated on the basis of a year which contains fewer days than the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation, such rate of interest shall be expressed as a yearly rate for the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) by multiplying such rate of interest by the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation and dividing it by the number of days in the deemed year.
As provided for in the Indenture, the Corporation may, from time to time, without notice or consent of the Holders, create and issue additional Securities so that such additional Securities shall be consolidated and form a single series with the Securities initially issued by the Corporation and shall have the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise as the Securities originally issued.
If at any time, (i) the Depositary notifies the Corporation that it is unwilling or unable or no longer qualifies to continue as Depositary or if at any time the Depositary shall no longer be registered or in good standing under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or other applicable statute or regulation and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Corporation within 90 days after the Corporation receives such notice or becomes aware of such condition, as the case may be, or (ii) the Corporation determines that the Securities shall no longer be represented by a global Security or Securities, then in such event the Corporation will execute and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver Securities in definitive registered form, in authorized denominations, and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of this Security in exchange for this Security. Such Securities in definitive registered form shall be registered in such names and issued in such authorized denominations as the Depositary, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver such Securities to the Persons in whose names such Securities are so registered.
The Indenture and this Security shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

Such Securities in definitive registered form shall be registered in such names and issued in such authorized denominations as the Depositary, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver such Securities to the Persons in whose names such Securities are so registered.
The Indenture and this Security shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
