ARTICLE III

REDEMPTION AND PREPAYMENT

Section 3.01 Notice of Redemption; Selection of Notes. The Company will send by first class mail, or by electronic transmission in the case of Notes held in book-entry form, notice of any redemption at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of the Notes (with a copy to the Trustee) to be redeemed setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in Article 3 of the Base Indenture. If fewer than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected by the Trustee by lot, on a pro rata basis or by another method the Trustee deems fair and appropriate that complies with applicable legal requirements, if any, and in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC.

Section 3.02 Notes Redeemed in Part. No Notes of principal amount of $2,000 or less may be redeemed in part.

Section 3.03 Optional Redemption. Prior to the Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the Notes at its option, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed; or (2) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed (assuming such Notes matured on the Par Call Date) (not including any portion of payments of interest accrued to the redemption date), discounted to the redemption date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360 day year consisting of twelve 30 day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points, plus, in the case of each of (1) and (2), accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date.

On and after the Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at its option at any time or from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date.

The redemption prices will be calculated assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. In no event shall the Trustee be responsible to calculate or verify calculations or to provide or verify data for such calculations. Prior to the redemption date, the Company will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee (i) an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the conditions precedent to the Company’s right to so redeem have occurred and (ii) an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the redemption price, showing the calculation in reasonable detail. If the redemption date is between the relevant interest record date and the

 

9


related interest payment date, the accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will be paid to the Person in whose name the Note is registered at the close of business on such interest record date, and no additional interest is payable to Holders whose Notes will be subject to redemption by the Company. Unless the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions thereof called for redemption.

Any redemption and notice of redemption may, at the Company’s discretion, be conditioned on one or more conditions precedent as provided for in Section 3.02 of the Base Indenture.

Section 3.04 Mandatory Redemption. The Company is not required to make any mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

The foregoing restrictions shall not apply to:

(a) liens existing as of the date of this Supplemental Indenture;

(b) liens on any property acquired (whether by merger, consolidation, purchase, lease or otherwise), constructed or improved by the Company or any Significant Subsidiary after the date of this Supplemental Indenture which are created or assumed prior to, contemporaneously with, or within 18 months after, such acquisition, construction or improvement, to secure or provide for the payment of all or any part of the cost of such acquisition, construction or improvement (including related expenditures capitalized for U.S. federal income tax purposes in connection therewith) incurred after the date of this Supplemental Indenture;

(c) liens on any property, shares of capital stock or debt existing at the time of the acquisition thereof, whether by merger, consolidation, purchase, lease or otherwise (including liens on property, shares of capital stock or indebtedness of a corporation existing at the time such Person becomes a Significant Subsidiary); provided that such lien was not created in anticipation of the Person becoming a Significant Subsidiary;

(a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, unless the Company has unconditionally exercised its right to redeem all of the Notes pursuant to Section 3.03 hereof, the Company will be required to make an offer to each Holder (the “Change of Control Offer”) to repurchase all or a portion (equal to minimum denominations of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Notes, at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the repurchase date, subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.

(b) Within 30 days following the date upon which a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, or at its option, prior to any Change of Control but after the public announcement of the pending Change of Control, the Company will be required to deliver a notice to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, which notice will govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer. Such notice will state:

(i) that such Change of Control Triggering Event has occurred and that such Holder has the right to require the Company to repurchase such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the repurchase date (subject to the rights of Holders of records on the relevant interest record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date) (the “Change of Control Payment”);

(ii) the date of repurchase, which must be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date the Change of Control Offer is provided, other than as may be required by law (the “Change of Control Payment Date”);

(iii) the procedures determined by the Company, consistent with the Indenture, that a Holder must follow in order to have its Notes repurchased; and

(iv) if the notice is provided prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the Change of Control Triggering Event occurring on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.

(c) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful, accept for payment, all Notes or portions thereof validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, and shall deposit with the Paying Agent (by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the payment date) an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes so tendered. The

 

12


Company shall also deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes so accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being repurchased by the Company. The Paying Agent shall deliver or cause to be delivered to each tendering Holder the Change of Control Payment for the Notes tendered by such Holder and accepted by the Company for purchase, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an order from the Company, shall promptly authenticate and cause to be delivered (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered, if any, provided that each such new Note shall be in a minimum denomination of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that on the Change of Control Payment Date, there has occurred and is continuing an Event of Default (other than any Event of Default arising solely by failure to pay the Change of Control Payment), the Company shall not be obligated to accept Notes tendered pursuant to this Section 4.03 or to deposit with the Paying Agent any amounts representing any Change of Control Payments, and the Paying Agent shall not deliver or cause to be delivered to any tendering Holders any amounts representing any Change of Control Payments, and such Notes tendered will be returned to the respective Holders.

(d) If the Change of Control Payment Date is between the relevant interest record date and the related interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such interest record date, and no additional interest will be payable to Holders who tender pursuant to the Change of Control Offer.

(e) Holders of Notes electing to have Notes repurchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender their Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Repurchase” on the reverse of the Note completed, to the Trustee at the address specified in the notice, or transfer their Notes to the Trustee by book-entry transfer pursuant to the applicable procedures of the Trustee, prior to the close of business on the third Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.

(f) The Company will 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 Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any such securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Notes, the Company will comply with those securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Notes by virtue of any such conflict.

(g) The Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer if a third party makes such an offer in the manner and at the times required and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for such an offer made by the Company, and such third party purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. For all purposes of the Notes and the Indenture, the failure by such third party to comply with the requirements of such offer and to complete such offer shall be treated as a failure by the Company to comply with its obligations to offer to purchase the Notes unless the

 

13


Company promptly make an offer to repurchase the Notes at 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon, to the date of repurchase, which shall be no later than 30 days after the third party’s scheduled Change of Control Payment Date.

(h) If Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes following a Change of Control Triggering Event, and the Company, or any third party making an offer to repurchase the Notes in the Change of Control Triggering Event in lieu of the Company, as described in Section 4.03(g) hereof, purchases all of the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Company or such third party shall have the right, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following such purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Triggering Event, to redeem all Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any to, but not including, the redemption date.

DEFAULTS

Section 5.01 Defaults. In addition to the Events of Default described in the Base Indenture, as contemplated by Section 2.03 of the Base Indenture, the following shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Supplemental Indenture:

(a) a default on any indebtedness for borrowed money (including guarantees thereof) of the Company or a Significant Subsidiary of the Company (other than indebtedness owing to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), which default results in the acceleration of such indebtedness (if such indebtedness has not already matured in accordance with its terms) in an amount in excess of $100,000,000 without such indebtedness having been discharged or the acceleration having been cured, waived, rescinded or annulled within 30 days after receipt by us of notice from the Trustee or Holders of at least 25% of the principal amount of the Notes outstanding; provided, however, that if any such failure or default that results in acceleration ceases or is cured, waived, rescinded or annulled, then the Event of Default shall be deemed not to have occurred.

(b) For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 6.02 of the Base Indenture (including the ability for Holders to rescind any acceleration and its consequences) shall apply to the Event of Default described in Section 5.01(a).

FORM OF REVERSE OF NOTE

Indenture. This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Notes”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of June 13, 2016, (the “Base Indenture”) as supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture dated as of June 13, 2016 (the “Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture as so supplemented, herein called the “Indenture”), between the Company and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof, initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $600,000,000.

Optional Redemption. Prior to the Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the Notes at its option, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed; or (2) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed (assuming such Notes matured on the Par Call Date) (not including any portion of payments of interest accrued to the redemption date), discounted to the redemption date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360 day year consisting of twelve 30 day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points, plus, in the case of each of (1) and (2), accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date.

On and after the Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the Notes at its option, in whole or in part, at any time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, but not including, the redemption date.

The redemption prices will be calculated assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. In no event shall the Trustee be responsible to calculate or verify calculations or to provide or verify data for such calculations. Prior to the redemption date, the Company will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee (i) an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the conditions precedent to the Company’s right to so redeem have occurred and (ii) an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the redemption price, showing the calculation in reasonable detail. If the redemption date is between the relevant interest record date and the related interest payment date, the accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will be paid to the Person in whose name the Note is registered at the close of business on such interest record date, and no additional interest is payable to Holders whose Notes will be subject to redemption by the Company. Unless the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions thereof called for redemption.

Any redemption and notice of redemption may, at the Company’s discretion, be conditioned on one or more conditions precedent as provided for in Section 3.02 of the Base Indenture.

For purposes of determining the optional redemption price, the following definitions are applicable:

Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday, a Sunday or a day on which banking institutions or trust companies in the principal place of payment are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close.

Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security or securities selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed, calculated as if the maturity date of such Notes were the Par Call Date (the “Remaining Life”), that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, to price new issues of corporate debt securities with a maturity comparable to the Remaining Life of the Notes to be redeemed.

Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date for the Notes, (1) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, (2) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer than three such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all quotations obtained or (3) if only one Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation is received, such quotation.

“Par Call Date” means, March 15, 2026.

Reference Treasury Dealer” means (1) each of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (or any of their respective affiliates which are Primary Treasury Dealers), and their respective successors; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in the United States of America (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company shall substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer, and (2) any other Primary Treasury Dealer 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 Company by such Reference Treasury Dealer as of 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such redemption date.

Notice of any redemption will be delivered by first-class mail, or by electronic transmission in the case of Notes held in book-entry form, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed. If less than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected by the Trustee by lot, on a pro rata basis or by another method the Trustee deems fair and appropriate that complies with applicable legal requirements, if any, and in accordance with the procedures of DTC.

Except as set forth above, the Notes will not be redeemable by the Company prior to maturity and will not be entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund.

Defaults and Remedies. If an Event of Default with respect to Notes of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Notes of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

Amendment, Modification and Waiver. The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Notes of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of each series at the time outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of each affected series at the time outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Notes of such affected series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past Defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note 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 Note.

Restrictive Covenants. The Indenture contains customary limitations that restrict the Company’s ability to merge, consolidate or sell substantially all of its assets, place liens on its property or assets and engage in sale/leaseback transactions. Upon a Change of Control Triggering Event, a Holder of Notes will have the right, subject to certain terms and conditions specified in the Indenture, to cause the Company to repurchase all or any part of the Notes of such Holder at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase.

Denominations, Transfer and Exchange. The Notes of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Notes of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registerable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the Registrar accompanied by a written request for transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the
