1. | Designation. The designation of the securities is 3.25% Notes due 2016 (the 2016 Notes). | ||
2. | Initial Aggregate Principal Amount. The 2016 Notes shall be limited in initial aggregate principal amount to $600,000,000 (except for 2016 Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other 2016 Notes pursuant to Section 2.8, 2.9, 2.11, 8.5 or 12.3 of the Base Indenture). | ||
3. | Currency Denomination. The 2016 Notes shall be denominated in Dollars. | ||
4. | Maturity. The date on which the principal of the 2016 Notes is payable is March 1, 2016. | ||
5. | Rate of Interest; Interest Payment Date; Regular Record Dates. Each 2016 Note shall bear interest from February 28, 2011 at 3.25% per annum until the principal thereof is paid. Such interest shall be payable semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year, commencing on September 1, 2011, to the persons in whose names the 2016 Notes are registered at the close of business on the immediately preceding February 15 and August 15, respectively. Interest on the 2016 Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from February 28, 2011. Interest on the 2016 Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. In the event that any date on which principal, premium, if any, or interest is payable on the 2016 Notes is not a Business Day, then payment of the principal, premium, if any, or 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). | ||
6. | Place of Payment. Principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the 2016 Notes shall be payable, and the transfer of the 2016 Notes shall be registrable, at the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained for such purpose in Minneapolis, Minnesota, except that, at the option of the Issuer, interest may be paid by mailing a check to the address of the person entitled thereto as it appears on the 2016 Notes register; provided, however, that while any 2016 Notes are represented by a Registered Global Security, payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the 2016 Notes may be made by wire transfer to the account of the Depositary or its nominee. | ||
7. | Optional Redemption. The 2016 Notes may be redeemed, in whole, at any time, or in part, from time to time, at the option of the Issuer, for cash, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of their principal amount and (ii) an amount, as determined by the Quotation Agent, equal to the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled |
A-1
payments of principal and interest thereon (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued to the date of redemption), discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 20 basis points, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the date of redemption; provided that the principal amount of any 2016 Note remaining outstanding after a redemption in part shall be $2,000 or a higher integral multiple of $1,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on 2016 Notes that are due and payable on interest payment dates falling on or prior to a redemption date will be payable on the interest payment date to the registered holders as of the close of business on the relevant record date. Holders of the 2016 Notes to be redeemed will receive notice thereof at least 30 and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. Unless the Issuer defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the 2016 Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. If less than all of the 2016 Notes are to be redeemed, the 2016 Notes to be redeemed will be selected by the Series Trustee by a method the Series Trustee deems to be fair and appropriate. | |||
Comparable Treasury Issue means the United States Treasury security selected by the Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the 2016 Notes that would be utilized, at the time of 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 2016 Notes. | |||
Comparable Treasury Price means, with respect to any redemption date, (i) the average of four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Series Trustee obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations. | |||
Quotation Agent means the Reference Treasury Dealer appointed by the Issuer. | |||
Reference Treasury Dealer means (i) J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and their respective successors; provided, however, that 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 Issuer shall substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer; and (ii) any other Primary Treasury Dealer selected by the Issuer. | |||
Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Series Trustee, 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 Series Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day preceding such redemption date. | |||
Treasury Rate means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price on such redemption date. |

8. | Change of Control. If a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined below) occurs, unless the Issuer has previously exercised its right to redeem the 2016 Notes in whole as described above, holders of the 2016 Notes will have the right to require the Issuer to repurchase all or any part (in integral multiples of $1,000 original principal amount) of their 2016 Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the Change of Control Offer); provided that the principal amount of any 2016 Note remaining outstanding after a repurchase in part shall be $2,000 or a higher integral multiple of $1,000. In the Change of Control Offer, the Issuer will be required to offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of 2016 Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the 2016 Notes repurchased, to, but not including, the date of repurchase (the Change of Control Payment). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, the Issuer will be required to mail a notice to holders of the 2016 Notes describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase the 2016 Notes on the date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the Change of Control Payment Date), pursuant to the procedures described herein and in such notice. The Issuer must 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 2016 Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions herein, the Issuer will be required to comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control provisions herein by virtue of such conflicts. | ||
The paying agent will promptly mail to each holder of the 2016 Notes properly tendered the repurchase price for such Notes, and the Series Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each holder a new 2016 Note equal in principal amount to any unrepurchased portion of any 2016 Notes surrendered; provided, that each new 2016 Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 thereafter. | |||
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer will 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 a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuer and the third party repurchases all 2016 Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. In addition, the Issuer will not repurchase any 2016 Notes if there has occurred and is continuing on the Change of Control Payment Date an event of default under the Indenture, other than a default in the payment of the Change of Control Payment upon a Change of Control Triggering Event. | |||
On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer will be required, to the extent lawful, to (i) accept for payment all 2016 Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; (ii) deposit with the paying agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all 2016 Notes or portions thereof properly tendered; and (iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Series Trustee the 2016 Notes |

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed to result in a Change of Control if (i) the Issuer becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of a holding company and (ii) the holders of the voting stock of such holding company immediately following that transaction are substantially the same as the holders of the Issuers voting stock immediately prior to that transaction. | |||
Change of Control Triggering Event means the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Below Investment Grade Rating Event. | |||

Interest on the 2021 Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. In the event that any date on which principal, premium, if any, or interest is payable on the 2021 Notes is not a Business Day, then payment of the principal, premium, if any, or 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). | ||

7. | Optional Redemption. The 2021 Notes may be redeemed in whole, at any time, or in part, from time to time, at the option of the Issuer, for cash, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of their principal amount and, unless the 2021 Notes are redeemed on or after December 1, 2020, (ii) an amount, as determined by the Quotation Agent, |
B-1
equal to the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued to the date of redemption), discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 20 basis points, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the date of redemption; provided that the principal amount of any 2021 Note remaining outstanding after a redemption in part shall be $2,000 or a higher integral multiple of $1,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on 2021 Notes that are due and payable on interest payment dates falling on or prior to a redemption date will be payable on the interest payment date to the registered holders as of the close of business on the relevant record date. Holders of the 2021 Notes to be redeemed will receive notice thereof at least 30 and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. Unless the Issuer defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the 2021 Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. If less than all of the 2021 Notes are to be redeemed, the 2021 Notes to be redeemed will be selected by the Series Trustee by a method the Series Trustee deems to be fair and appropriate. | |||

Comparable Treasury Price means, with respect to any redemption date, (i) the average of four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Series Trustee obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations. | |||

Reference Treasury Dealer means (i) J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and their respective successors; provided, however, that 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 Issuer shall substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer; and (ii) any other Primary Treasury Dealer selected by the Issuer. | |||
Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Series Trustee, 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 Series Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day preceding such redemption date. | |||
Treasury Rate means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming |
B-2
a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price on such redemption date. |
8. | Change of Control. If a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined below) occurs, unless the Issuer has previously exercised its right to redeem the 2021 Notes in whole as described above, holders of the 2021 Notes will have the right to require the Issuer to repurchase all or any part (in integral multiples of $1,000 original principal amount) of their 2021 Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the Change of Control Offer); provided that the principal amount of any 2021 Note remaining outstanding after a repurchase in part shall be $2,000 or a higher integral multiple of $1,000. In the Change of Control Offer, the Issuer will be required to offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of 2021 Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the 2021 Notes repurchased, to, but not including, the date of repurchase (the Change of Control Payment). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, the Issuer will be required to mail a notice to holders of the 2021 Notes describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase the 2021 Notes on the date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the Change of Control Payment Date), pursuant to the procedures described herein and in such notice. The Issuer must 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 2021 Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions herein, the Issuer will be required to comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control provisions herein by virtue of such conflicts. | ||
The paying agent will promptly mail to each holder of the 2021 Notes properly tendered the repurchase price for such Notes, and the Series Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each holder a new 2021 Note equal in principal amount to any unrepurchased portion of any 2021 Notes surrendered; provided, that each new 2021 Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 thereafter. | |||
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer will 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 a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuer and the third party repurchases all 2021 Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. In addition, the Issuer will not repurchase any 2021 Notes if there has occurred and is continuing on the Change of Control Payment Date an event of default under the Indenture, other than a default in the payment of the Change of Control Payment upon a Change of Control Triggering Event. | |||
On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer will be required, to the extent lawful, to (i) accept for payment all 2021 Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; (ii) deposit with the paying agent an amount equal to the |
B-3
Change of Control Payment in respect of all 2021 Notes or portions thereof properly tendered; and (iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Series Trustee the 2021 Notes properly accepted together with an Officers Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of 2021 Notes or portions of 2021 Notes being repurchased. | |||

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed to result in a Change of Control if (i) the Issuer becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of a holding company and (ii) the holders of the voting stock of such holding company immediately following that transaction are substantially the same as the holders of the Issuers voting stock immediately prior to that transaction. | |||
Change of Control Triggering Event means the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Below Investment Grade Rating Event. | |||

Notwithstanding the above, the Issuer or any Consolidated Subsidiary may, without securing the 2021 Notes, create or assume any Indebtedness which is secured by a lien which would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions, provided that at the time of such creation or assumption, after giving effect thereto, Exempted Debt does not exceed 10% of the total assets of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. |

1. | Designation. The designation of the securities is 6.00% Notes due 2041 (the 2041 Notes). | ||
2. | Initial Aggregate Principal Amount. The 2041 Notes shall be limited in initial aggregate principal amount to $500,000,000 (except for 2041 Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other 2041 Notes pursuant to Section 2.8, 2.9, 2.11, 8.5 or 12.3 of the Base Indenture). | ||
3. | Currency Denomination. The 2041 Notes shall be denominated in Dollars. | ||
4. | Maturity. The date on which the principal of the 2041 Notes is payable is March 1, 2041. | ||
5. | Rate of Interest; Interest Payment Date; Regular Record Dates. Each 2041 Note shall bear interest from February 28, 2011 at 6.00% per annum until the principal thereof is paid. Such interest shall be payable semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year, commencing on September 1, 2011, to the persons in whose names the 2041 Notes are registered at the close of business on the immediately preceding February 15 and August 15, respectively. Interest on the 2041 Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from February 28, 2011. Interest on the 2041 Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. In the event that any date on which principal, premium, if any, or interest is payable on the 2041 Notes is not a Business Day, then payment of the principal, premium, if any, or 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). | ||
6. | Place of Payment.

7. | Optional Redemption. The 2041 Notes may be redeemed, in whole, at any time, or in part, from time to time, at the option of the Issuer, for cash, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of their principal amount and, unless the 2041 Notes are redeemed on or after September 1, 2040, (ii) an amount, as determined by the Quotation Agent, |
C-1
equal to the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued to the date of redemption), discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the date of redemption; provided that the principal amount of any 2041 Note remaining outstanding after a redemption in part shall be $2,000 or a higher integral multiple of $1,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on 2041 Notes that are due and payable on interest payment dates falling on or prior to a redemption date will be payable on the interest payment date to the registered holders as of the close of business on the relevant record date. Holders of the 2041 Notes to be redeemed will receive notice thereof at least 30 and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. Unless the Issuer defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the 2041 Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer will 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 a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuer and the third party repurchases all 2041 Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. In addition, the Issuer will not repurchase any 2041 Notes if there has occurred and is continuing on the Change of Control Payment Date an event of default under the Indenture, other than a default in the payment of the Change of Control Payment upon a Change of Control Triggering Event. | |||

Change of Control means the occurrence of any of the following: (1) the direct or indirect sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole to any Person other than the Issuer or one of its Subsidiaries; (2) 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 then outstanding number of shares of the Issuers voting stock; or (3) the first day on which a majority of the members of the Issuers Board of Directors are not Continuing Directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed to result in a Change of Control if (i) the Issuer becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of a holding company and (ii) the holders of the voting stock of such holding company immediately following that transaction are substantially the same as the holders of the Issuers voting stock immediately prior to that transaction. | |||
Change of Control Triggering Event means the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Below Investment Grade Rating Event. | |||
