SECTION 1.03.      Provisions of Bonds of 2024 Series A; Interest Accrual. The bonds of 2024 Series A shall mature on January 1, 2029, and shall bear interest, including on overdue interest, payable semiannually on January 1 and July 1 of each year, commencing July 1, 2024, at the rate specified in their title, until the Company’s obligation in respect of the principal thereof shall be discharged; and shall be payable both as to principal and interest at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York, in any coin or currency of the United States of America which at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts. The interest on the bonds of 2024 Series A, whether in temporary or definitive form, shall be payable without presentation of such bonds; and only to or upon the written order of the registered holders thereof of record at the applicable record date (as hereinafter defined). The bonds of 2024 Series A shall be callable for redemption in whole or in part according to the terms and provisions herein in Article 2.

 

Each bond of 2024 Series A authenticated in accordance with the terms of this Supplemental Indenture shall be dated as of January 23, 2024 and shall bear interest on the principal amount thereof from the interest payment date next preceding the date of authentication thereof by the Trustee to which interest has been paid on the bonds of 2024 Series A, or if the date of authentication thereof is prior to July 1, 2024, then from January 23, 2024, or if the date of authentication thereof be an interest payment date to which interest is being paid or a date between the record date for any such interest payment date and such interest payment date, then from such interest payment date. Interest on the bonds of 2024 Series A shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, and with respect to any period less than a full month, on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in such period.

 

The person in whose name any bond of 2024 Series A is registered at the close of business on any record date with respect to any interest payment date shall be entitled to receive the interest payable on such interest payment date notwithstanding the cancellation of such bond upon any registration of transfer or exchange thereof subsequent to the record date and prior to such interest payment date, except that if and to the extent the Company shall default in the payment of the interest due on such interest payment date, then such defaulted interest shall be paid to the person in whose name such bond is registered on a subsequent record date for the payment of defaulted interest if one shall have been established as hereinafter provided and otherwise on the date of payment of such defaulted interest. A subsequent record date may be established by the Company by notice mailed to the owners of bonds of 2024 Series A not less than ten (10) days preceding such record date, which record date shall not be more than thirty (30) days prior to the subsequent interest payment date. The term “record date” as used in this Section with respect to any regular interest payment (i.e., January 1 or July 1) shall mean the December 15 or June 15, as the case may be, next preceding such interest payment date, or if such December 15 or June 15 shall be a legal holiday or a day on which banking institutions in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York are authorized by law to close, the next preceding day which shall not be a legal holiday or a day on which such institutions are so authorized to close.

ARTICLE 2.

 

REDEMPTION OF BONDS OF 2024 SERIES A

 

SECTION 2.01.      Redemption of Bonds of 2024 Series A. Prior to the Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the bonds of 2024 Series A at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount of the bonds of 2024 Series A to be redeemed 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 bonds of 2024 Series A discounted to the redemption date (assuming the bonds of 2024 Series A matured on the Par Call Date) on a semiannual 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 date of redemption, or

 

(2) 100% of the principal amount of the bonds of 2024 Series A being 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 bonds of 2024 Series A at its option 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 bonds of 2024 Series A being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date.

 

5

 

 

SECTION 2.02.      Definitions Applicable to Redemption Provisions. The terms which follow, when used in this Supplemental Indenture, shall have the following meanings:

 

“Par Call Date” means December 1, 2028 (the date that is one month prior to the maturity date of the bonds of 2024 Series A).

 

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum 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.

 

6

 

 

The Company’s actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. The Trustee shall have no responsibility to calculate the redemption price.

 

Notice of any redemption will be mailed or electronically delivered (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 bonds of 2024 Series A to be redeemed.

 

In the case of a partial redemption, selection of the bonds of 2024 Series A for redemption will be made by lot or pursuant to the applicable depositary’s procedures. No bonds of a principal amount of $2,000 or less will be redeemed in part. If any bond of 2024 Series A is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to the bonds of 2024 Series A will state the portion of the principal amount of the bond of 2024 Series A to be redeemed. A new bond of 2024 Series A in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of such bond of 2024 Series A will be issued in the name of the holder of the bond of 2024 Series A upon surrender for cancellation of the original bond of 2024 Series A. For so long as the bonds of 2024 Series A are held by DTC (or another depositary), the redemption of the bonds of 2024 Series A shall be done in accordance with the policies and procedures of the depositary.

 

On and after the redemption date interest will cease to accrue on the bonds of 2024 Series A or portions thereof called for redemption. Prior to any redemption date, the Company is required to deposit with a paying agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on the bonds of 2024 Series A to be redeemed on such date.

 

Any redemption may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, the completion or occurrence of a related transaction or event, as the case may be, and any notice of redemption made in connection with a related transaction or event may, at the Company’s discretion, be given prior to the completion or the occurrence thereof. If such redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice will describe each such condition, and if applicable, will state that, at the Company’s discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time (including more than 60 days after the date the notice of redemption was mailed or delivered, including by electronic transmission) as any or all such conditions are satisfied (or waived by the Company in its sole discretion), or that such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions are not satisfied (or waived by the Company in its sole discretion) by the redemption date, or by the redemption date as so delayed, or that such notice may be rescinded at any time in the Company’s discretion if in its good faith judgment any or all of such conditions will not be satisfied. If any such condition precedent has not been satisfied, the Company shall provide written notice prior to the close of business on the business day immediately prior to the redemption date. Upon receipt of such notice, the notice of redemption shall be rescinded or delayed, and the redemption of the bonds of 2024 Series A shall be rescinded or delayed as provided in such notice.

The principal of this bond may be declared or may become due on the conditions, in the manner and at the time set forth in the Mortgage, upon the happening of an event of default as in the Mortgage provided. The Mortgage was amended and restated in its entirety on April 7, 2005 in the form set forth in Schedule C to the Supplemental Indenture dated as of April 1, 2005.

 

A-4

 

 

This bond is transferable by the registered holder hereof in person or by attorney upon surrender hereof at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York, together with a written instrument of transfer in approved form, signed by the holder, and a new bond or bonds of this series for a like principal amount in authorized denominations will be issued in exchange, all as provided in the Mortgage. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of this bond the Company and the Trustee may deem and treat the registered owner hereof as the absolute owner hereof, whether or not this bond be overdue, for the purpose of receiving payment and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

 

This bond is exchangeable at the option of the registered holder hereof upon surrender hereof, at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York, for an equal principal amount of bonds of this series of other authorized denominations, in the manner and on the terms provided in the Mortgage.

 

Bonds of this series are to be issued initially under a book-entry only system and, except as hereinafter provided, registered in the name of The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York (“DTC”) or its nominee, which shall be considered to be the holder of all bonds of this series for all purposes of the Mortgage, including, without limitation, payment by the Company of principal of and interest on such bonds of this series and receipt of notices and exercise of rights of holders of such bonds of this series. There shall be a single bond of this series which shall be immobilized in the custody of DTC with the owners of book-entry interests in bonds of this series (“Book-Entry Interests”) having no right to receive bonds of this series in the form of physical securities or certificates. Ownership of Book-Entry Interests shall be shown by book-entry on the system maintained and operated by DTC, its participants (the “Participants”) and certain persons acting through the Participants. Transfers of ownership of Book-Entry Interests are to be made only by DTC and the Participants by that book-entry system, the Company and the Trustee having no responsibility therefor so long as bonds of this series are registered in the name of DTC or its nominee. DTC is to maintain records of positions of Participants in bonds of this series, and the Participants and persons acting through Participants are to maintain records of the purchasers and owners of Book-Entry Interests. If DTC or its nominee determines not to continue to act as a depository for the bonds of this series in connection with a book-entry only system, another depository, if available, may act instead and the single bond of this series will be transferred into the name of such other depository or its nominee, in which case the above provisions will continue to apply to the new depository. If the book-entry only system for bonds of this series is discontinued for any reason, upon surrender and cancellation of the single bond of this series registered in the name of the then depository or its nominee, new registered bonds of this series will be issued in authorized denominations to the holders of Book-Entry Interests in principal amounts coinciding with the amounts of Book-Entry Interests shown on the book-entry system immediately prior to the discontinuance thereof. Neither the Trustee nor the Company shall be responsible for the accuracy of the interests shown on that system.

 

A-5

 

 

As provided in the Supplemental Indenture, this bond shall be subject to redemption prior to maturity as follows:

 

Prior to the Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the bonds of 2024 Series A at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount of the bonds of 2024 Series A to be redeemed 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 bonds of 2024 Series A discounted to the redemption date (assuming the bonds of 2024 Series A matured on the Par Call Date) on a semiannual 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 date of redemption, or

 

(2) 100% of the principal amount of the bonds of 2024 Series A being 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 bonds of 2024 Series A at its option 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 bonds of 2024 Series A being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date.

 

“Par Call Date” means December 1, 2028 (the date that is one month prior to the maturity date of the bonds of 2024 Series A).

 

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum 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.

 

A-6

 

 

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. The Trustee shall have no responsibility to calculate the redemption price.

 

Notice of any redemption will be mailed or electronically delivered (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 bonds of 2024 Series A to be redeemed.

 

In the case of a partial redemption, selection of the bonds of 2024 Series A for redemption will be made by lot or pursuant to the applicable depositary’s procedures. No bonds of a principal amount of $2,000 or less will be redeemed in part. If any bond of 2024 Series A is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such bond of 2024 Series A will state the portion of the principal amount of the bonds of 2024 Series A to be redeemed. A new bond of 2024 Series A in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of such bond of 2024 Series A will be issued in the name of the holder of the bond of 2024 Series A upon surrender for cancellation of the original bond of 2024 Series A. For so long as the bonds of 2024 Series A are held by DTC (or another depositary), the redemption of the bonds of 2024 Series A shall be done in accordance with the policies and procedures of the depositary.

 

On and after the redemption date interest will cease to accrue on the bonds of 2024 Series A or portions thereof called for redemption. Prior to any redemption date, the Company is required to deposit with a paying agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on the bonds of 2024 Series A to be redeemed on such date.

 

A-7

 

 

Any redemption may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, the completion or occurrence of a related transaction or event, as the case may be, and any notice of redemption made in connection with a related transaction or event may, at the Company’s discretion, be given prior to the completion or the occurrence thereof. If such redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice will describe each such condition, and if applicable, will state that, at the Company’s discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time (including more than 60 days after the date the notice of redemption was mailed or delivered, including by electronic transmission) as any or all such conditions are satisfied (or waived by the Company in its sole discretion), or that such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions are not satisfied (or waived by the Company in its sole discretion) by the redemption date, or by the redemption date as so delayed, or that such notice may be rescinded at any time in the Company’s discretion if in its good faith judgment any or all of such conditions will not be satisfied. If any such condition precedent has not been satisfied, the Company shall provide written notice prior to the close of business on the business day immediately prior to the redemption date. Upon receipt of such notice, the notice of redemption shall be rescinded or delayed, and the redemption of the bonds of 2024 Series A shall be rescinded or delayed as provided in such notice.

 

If this bond is called for redemption in whole or in part and payment is duly provided as specified in the Indenture, this bond, or the part thereof so called, shall cease to be entitled to the security of the Indenture, and from and after the date fixed in the call for such redemption, interest shall cease to accrue on this bond, or on such part so called; and if less than the whole principal amount hereof shall be called, the registered owner hereof shall, in addition to the sums payable on account of the part called, be entitled, at his option, to receive on surrender hereof one or more bonds of this series, of an aggregate principal amount equal to that part of the principal amount hereof not called and paid, or to present this bond for the notation hereon by the Trustee (or to make such notation in accordance with an agreement for payment of principal filed with the Trustee as provided in this bond) of the payment of the part of the principal amount hereof then called and paid.

 

The Mortgage provides that the Company and the Trustee, with consent of the holders of not less than 66-2/3% in aggregate principal amount of the bonds at the time outstanding which would be affected by the action proposed to be taken, may by supplemental indenture add any provisions to or change or eliminate any of the provisions of the Mortgage or modify the rights of the holders of the bonds and coupons issued thereunder; provided, however, that without the consent of the holder hereof no such supplemental indenture shall affect the terms of payment of the principal of or interest or premium on this bond, or reduce the aforesaid percentage of the bonds the holders of which are required to consent to such a supplemental indenture, or permit the creation by the Company of any mortgage or pledge or lien in the nature thereof ranking prior to or equal with the lien of the Mortgage or deprive the holder hereof of the lien of the Mortgage on any of the property which is subject to the lien thereof.

 

As set forth in the Supplemental Indenture establishing the terms and series of the bonds of this series, each holder of a bond of 2024 Series A, solely by virtue of its acquisition thereof, including as an owner of a book-entry interest therein, has and has been deemed to have consented, without the need for any further action or consent by such holder, to the amendment and restatement of the Mortgage in the form set forth in Schedule C appended to the Supplemental Indenture dated as of April 1, 2005.

 

A-8

 

 

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or the interest on this bond, or any part thereof, or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, to any incorporator, or any past, present or future stockholder, officer or director of the Company, either directly or indirectly, by virtue of any statute or by enforcement of any assessment or otherwise, and any and all liability of the said incorporators, stockholders, officers or directors of the Company in respect to this bond is hereby expressly waived and released by every holder hereof.
