than 50% of the Voting Stock of the Company, measured by voting power rather than number of shares;

Stock of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such transaction constitute, or are converted into or exchanged for, a majority of the Voting Stock of the surviving Person immediately after giving effect to such transaction; or

the previously outstanding Notes for all purposes under the Indenture, including, without limitation, amendments, waivers and redemptions. If such Additional Notes are not fungible with the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, however, such
Additional Notes will have a separate CUSIP number. The aggregate principal amount of the Additional Notes, if any, shall be unlimited. 
 SECTION 2.15 Payment, Transfer and Exchange.

that may involve the Trustee in personal liability, unless the Trustee is offered indemnity satisfactory to it. 
 ARTICLE III

(b) The Notes are subject to redemption at any time or from time to time, in whole or in part, at the Company’s option. The Notes
may be redeemed by the Company at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, and (ii) as determined by the Reference Treasury Dealer, the sum of the present values of the
remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest in respect of the Notes to be redeemed discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the applicable Treasury Rate
plus 30 basis points. In each case, accrued and unpaid interest will be paid to the redemption date. The Company may provide in such notice that payment of such Redemption Price and performance of the Company’s obligations with respect to such

 -10-









 SECTION 3.2 Redemption Procedures. 

The Trustee will select Notes called for redemption in part on a pro rata basis or on as nearly a pro rata basis as is practicable
(subject to procedures of the Depositary); provided that the principal amount of any Note remaining outstanding after redemption in part shall be $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. In the case of Notes represented
by Physical Securities, a new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note. In the case of Notes represented by a Global Security, the
outstanding principal amount of the Global Security representing the Notes will be reduced by book-entry. Notes called for redemption become due on the redemption date. On and after the redemption date, interest stops accruing on Notes or any
portions of the Notes called for redemption (unless there is a default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest). On or before the redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or the Trustee) money sufficient
to pay the Redemption Price of an accrued interest on the Notes to be redeemed on the redemption date. 
 SECTION 3.3
Notice of Redemption. 
 (a) At the Company’s written request made at least 15 days prior to the date on which notice of
redemption is to be given (unless a shorter notice shall be agreed to in writing by the Trustee), the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at the Company’s sole expense. 

(b) Notices of redemption shall be mailed by first class mail at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each
Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. 

(c) Any notice to Holders of Notes of any redemption will include the appropriate calculation of the Redemption Price, but does not need
to include the Redemption Price itself. The actual Redemption Price, calculated as described above, will be set forth in an Officers’ Certificate of the Company delivered to the Trustee no later than two Business Days prior to the redemption
date.

 ARTICLE IV 
 CHANGE OF CONTROL 
 SECTION 4.1 Change of Control. 

(a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, unless all Notes have been called for redemption pursuant to
Section 3.1, each Holder of Notes shall have the right to require the Company to purchase all or a portion (equal to $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Notes pursuant to an offer described in
clause (b) (the “Change of Control Offer”) at a purchase price in cash equal to the Change of Control Payment, subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant
Interest Payment Date. 
 (b) Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event or at the Company’s option,
prior to any Change of Control but after the public announcement of the pending Change of Control, the Company shall mail, or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, a notice to the Trustee and to each Holder of Notes describing the transaction or
transactions that constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and specifying: 
 (i) that the Change of
Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.1 and that all Notes tendered will be accepted for payment; 
 (ii) the Change of Control Payment and the purchase date, which shall 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”); 
 (iii) the CUSIP numbers for the Notes; 

(iv) that any Note not tendered will continue to accrue interest; 

(v) that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Notes accepted for payment

principal and interest on that Holder’s Notes in accordance with those instructions. All other payments on the Notes will be made at the office or agency of the Paying Agent and Registrar unless the Company elects to make interest payments by

Series under an Indenture, dated as of April 30, 2013, as supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture dated May 15, 2013 (as so supplemented, the “Indenture”), between the Company and the Trustee, to which Indenture

party thereto) may, without the consent of the Holders of any outstanding Notes, amend, waive or supplement the Indenture or the Notes for certain specified purposes, including, among other things, curing ambiguities, defects or inconsistencies,

rights of any Holder. Other amendments and modifications of the Indenture or the Notes may be made by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes,
subject to certain exceptions requiring the consent of each Holders of the Notes.

any obligations of the Company under the Notes, the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liabilities. The
waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. 
 15. Discharge. The Company’s
obligations pursuant to the Indenture will be discharged, except for obligations pursuant to certain sections thereof, subject to the terms of the Indenture, upon the payment of all the Notes or upon the irrevocable deposit with the Trustee of
