(a)           A Global Note may be transferred, in whole but not in part, only to the Depositary, to a nominee of the Depositary, or to a successor Depositary selected or approved by the Company or to a nominee of such successor Depositary.

 

(b)           If at any time (i) the Depositary for a series of Notes notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary or if at any time the Depositary for such series shall no longer be registered or in good standing under the Exchange Act or other applicable statute or regulation, and a successor Depositary for such series is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such condition, as the case may be, or (ii) an Event of Default with respect to Notes of a series shall have occurred and be continuing and the Depositary requests the issuance of Notes of such series in definitive registered form, the Company will execute, and, subject to Article III of the Indenture, the Trustee, upon written notice from the Company, will authenticate and make available for delivery the Notes of such series in definitive registered form without coupons, in authorized denominations, and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Note for such series in exchange for the Global Note for such series.

In such event the Company will execute, and subject to Section 305 of the Indenture, the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officers’ Certificate evidencing such determination by the Company, will authenticate and deliver the Notes of such series in definitive registered form without coupons, in authorized denominations, and in an aggregate principal amount

 

9











 

equal to the principal amount of the Global Note for such series in exchange for the Global Note for such series.  Upon the exchange of the Global Note for the Notes of such series in definitive registered form without coupons, in authorized denominations, the Global Note for such series shall be cancelled by the Trustee.  Such Notes in definitive registered form issued in exchange for the Global Note for such series shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee.

ARTICLE 3
 REDEMPTION OF THE NOTES

 

Section 3.01.         Optional Redemption by Company.

 

(a)           Subject to Article XI of the Indenture, the Company shall have the right to redeem the 2024 Notes or the 2044 Notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to time prior to their maturity. If the Company elects to redeem the 2024 Notes before July 1, 2024 or the 2044 Notes before April 1, 2044, the Company will pay a redemption price (the “Optional Redemption Price”) equal to the greater of:

 

(i)            100% of the principal amount of the Notes of such series being redeemed; and

 

(ii)           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 as of the Redemption Date), that would be due if the Notes of such series matured on the applicable Par Call Date discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined below), plus 30 basis points in the case of the 2024 Notes and plus 40 basis points in the case of the 2044 Notes,

 

plus, in each case, accrued interest thereon to the Redemption Date.

 

If the Company elects to redeem the 2024 Notes on or after July 1, 2024 or the 2044 Notes on or after April 1, 2044, the Company will pay an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed plus accrued interest thereon to the Redemption Date.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on a series of Notes being redeemed 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 according to such series of Notes and the Indenture.

 

Unless the Company defaults in payment of the Optional Redemption Price, on and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the series of Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.  If less than all of a series of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected by lot by the Depositary, in the case of Notes represented by a Global Note, or by the Trustee by a method the Trustee deems to be fair and appropriate and in accordance with any applicable procedures of the Depositary, in the case of Notes that are not represented by a Global Note.

 

10











 

(b)           Notice of any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.01 shall be given as provided in Section 1104 of the Indenture except that any notice of such redemption shall not specify the related Optional Redemption Price but only the manner of calculation thereof.  The Trustee shall not be responsible for the calculation of such Optional Redemption Price.  The Company shall calculate such Optional Redemption Price and promptly notify the Trustee thereof.

 

(c)           The following terms have the meanings given to them in this Section 3.01(c):

 

“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 series of Notes (assuming, for this purpose, that such series of Notes matured on the applicable Par Call Date) to be redeemed 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 such Notes.

 

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, (i) the average of two Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Company is given fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations, or (iii) if only one Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation is received, such quotation.

 

“Par Call Date” means (i) with respect to the 2024 Notes, July 1, 2024 and (ii) with respect to the 2044 Notes, April 1, 2044.

 

“Quotation Agent” means the Reference Treasury Dealer appointed by the Company.

 

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. (or their respective affiliates that are Primary Treasury Dealers) and their respective successors and two other nationally recognized investment banking firms that are primary U.S. Government securities dealers specified from time to time by the Company; 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 Company will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer.

 

“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 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 for such Redemption Date.

 

Section 3.02.         Optional Redemption by Company Due to Certain Tax Changes.

 

(a)           The Company may redeem the Notes, in whole but not in part, at its option upon giving not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior written notice to the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Redemption Date and all Additional Amounts, if any, which otherwise

 

11











 

would be payable, if on the next date on which any amount would be payable in respect of the Notes, the Company would be required to pay Additional Amounts, and the Company cannot avoid any such payment obligation by taking reasonable measures available to it, as a result of:

 

(i)            any amendment to, or change in, the laws, Tax treaties or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder of a relevant Tax Jurisdiction which is announced and becomes effective after September 24, 2014 (or, if the applicable Tax Jurisdiction became a Tax Jurisdiction on a date after September 24, 2014, such later date); or

 

(ii)           any amendment to, or change in, an official interpretation or application regarding such laws, Tax treaties, regulations or rulings, including by virtue of a holding, judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction which is announced and becomes effective after September 24, 2014 (or, if the applicable Tax Jurisdiction became a Tax Jurisdiction on a date after September 24, 2014, such later date).

 

(b)           The Company will not give any such notice of redemption earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Company would be obligated to pay Additional Amounts or more than 365 days after the applicable law change takes effect, and, at the time such notice is given, the obligation to pay Additional Amounts must remain in effect.

 

Section 3.03.         No Sinking Fund.  The Notes are not entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund.

 

ARTICLE 4
 ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS

 

Section 4.01.         Additional Amounts.

 

(a)           All payments made under or with respect to the Notes will be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future tax, duty, levy, impost, assessment or other governmental charge (including penalties, interest, additions to tax and other liabilities related thereto) (collectively, “Taxes”) unless the withholding or deduction of such Taxes is then required by law.  If any deduction or withholding for, or on account of, any Taxes imposed or levied by or on behalf of (1) any jurisdiction in which the Company is organized, resident or doing business for Tax purposes or any department or political subdivision thereof or therein or (2) any jurisdiction from or through which payment is made by the Company or the Paying Agent or any department or political subdivision thereof or therein (each, a “Tax Jurisdiction”) will at any time be required to be made from any payments made under or with respect to the Notes, including payments of principal, redemption price, interest or premium, the Company will pay such additional amounts (the “Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary in order that the net amounts received in respect of such payments by each Holder of the Notes after such withholding or deduction (including any such deduction or withholding in respect of Additional Amounts) will equal the respective amounts which would have been received in respect of such payments in the absence of such withholding or deduction; provided, however, that no Additional Amounts will be payable with respect to:

 

(i)            any Taxes, to the extent such Taxes would not have been imposed but for the existence of any present or former connection between the Holder or the beneficial owner of the Notes and the relevant Tax Jurisdiction (other than any connection arising solely from the acquisition, ownership, holding or disposition of the Notes, the enforcement of rights under the Notes and/or the receipt of any payments in respect of the Notes);

 

12











 

(ii)           any Taxes, to the extent such Taxes would not have been imposed but for the failure of the Holder or the beneficial owner of the Notes to comply with any certification, identification, information, documentation, or other reporting requirements, including an application for relief under an applicable double Tax treaty, whether required by statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice of a Tax Jurisdiction, as a precondition to exemption from, or reduction in the rate of deduction or withholding of, Taxes imposed by the Tax Jurisdiction (including, without limitation, a certification that the Holder or beneficial owner of the Notes is not resident in the Tax Jurisdiction or is a resident of an applicable Tax treaty jurisdiction), but in each case, only to the extent the Holder or the beneficial owner of the Notes is legally eligible to provide such certification or documentation; provided, however, that in the event that any such requirements are imposed as a result of an amendment to, or change in, any laws, Tax treaties, regulations or rulings (or any official administrative or judicial interpretation thereof) after the Issue Date, this paragraph (2) will apply only if the Company notifies the Trustee, at least 30 days before any such withholding or deduction would be payable, that Holders or beneficial owners of the Notes must comply with such certification, identification, information, documentation or other reporting requirements;

 

(iii)          any Taxes, to the extent such Taxes were imposed as a result of the presentation of a Note for payment (where presentation is required) more than 30 days after the relevant payment is first made available for payment to the Holder of such Note (except to the extent that such Holder would have been entitled to Additional Amounts had the Note been presented on the last day of such 30 day period);

 

(iv)          any estate, inheritance, gift, transfer, personal property or similar Tax;

 

(v)           any Taxes payable otherwise than by deduction or withholding from payments made under or with respect to the Notes;

 

(vi)          any Taxes required to be withheld pursuant to the EC Council Directive on the Taxation of Savings Income in the Form of Interest Payments (Directive 2003/48/EC) (as amended by EC Counsel Directive 2014/48/EU on March 24, 2014) or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such Directive or any agreement between the European Union and any non-EU jurisdiction providing for equivalent measures;

 

(vii)         any Taxes required to be withheld in respect of a payment of interest in respect of Notes presented for payment by or on behalf of a Holder of the Notes who would be able to avoid such withholding or deduction by presenting the relevant Note to another Paying Agent in a member state of the European Union; or

 

(viii)        any combination of the above items.

 

The Company also will not pay any Additional Amounts to any Holder of the Notes who is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole beneficial owner of the Notes to the extent that the obligation to pay Additional Amounts would be reduced or eliminated by transferring the Notes in question to the sole beneficial owner, but only if there is no material commercial or legal impediment to, or material cost associated with, transferring the Notes to the sole beneficial owner.

 

In addition to the foregoing, the Company will also pay and indemnify the Holder of the Notes for any present or future stamp, issue, registration, transfer, court or documentary taxes, or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies (including penalties, interest, additions to Tax and other liabilities related thereto) which are levied by any Tax Jurisdiction on the execution, delivery, issuance, or

 

13











 

registration of any of the Notes, the Indenture or any other document or instrument referred to therein, or the receipt of any payments with respect to, or enforcement of, the Notes.

 

(b)           If the Company becomes aware that it will be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to any payment under or with respect to the Notes, the Company will deliver to the Trustee on a date which is at least 30 days prior to the date of that payment (unless the obligation to pay Additional Amounts arises after the 30th day prior to that payment date, in which case the Company shall notify the Trustee promptly thereafter) notice stating the fact that Additional Amounts will be payable and the amount estimated to be so payable.  The notice must also set forth any other information reasonably necessary to enable the Paying Agent to pay Additional Amounts to Holders of the Notes on the relevant payment date.  The Company will provide the Trustee with documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee evidencing the payment of Additional Amounts.

 

(c)           The Company will timely make all withholdings and deductions required by law and will remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Tax authority in accordance with applicable law.  The Company will furnish to the Trustee (or to a Holder of the Notes upon request), within a reasonable time after the date the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld is made, certified copies of Tax receipts evidencing payment by the Company, or if receipts are not reasonably available, other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee.

 

(d)           Whenever in the Indenture or this Supplemental Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of amounts based upon the principal amount of the Notes or of principal, interest or of any other amount payable under, or with respect to, any of the Notes such mention shall be deemed to include the payment to the Paying Agent of Additional Amounts, if applicable.

 

(e)           The obligations under this Section 4.01 will survive any termination, defeasance or discharge of the Indenture and will apply, mutatis mutandis, to any jurisdiction in which any successor Person to the Company is organized, resident or doing business for Tax purposes or any jurisdiction from or through which such Person or its Paying Agent makes any payment on the Notes and, in each case, any department or political subdivision thereof or therein.

 

ARTICLE 5
 COVENANTS

 

The following covenants will apply to the Notes in addition to the covenants in Article X of the Indenture:

 

Section 5.01.         Limitation on Liens.

 

(a)           The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, incur, issue or assume any Indebtedness for borrowed money secured by any Lien upon any Principal Property or any shares of stock or Indebtedness of any Subsidiary that owns or leases a Principal Property (whether such Principal Property, shares of stock or Indebtedness are now owned or hereafter acquired) without making effective provision whereby the Notes (together with, if the Company so determines, any other Indebtedness or other obligation of the Company or any Subsidiary) shall be secured equally and ratably with (or, at the option of the Company, prior to) the Indebtedness so secured by a Lien on the same assets of the Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, for so long as such Indebtedness is so secured.  The foregoing restrictions will not, however, apply to Indebtedness secured by Permitted Liens.

 

(b)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and its Subsidiaries may, without securing the Notes, incur, issue or assume Indebtedness that would otherwise be subject to the foregoing

 

14











 

restrictions in an aggregate principal amount that, together with all other such Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries that would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions (not including Indebtedness permitted to be secured under the definition of Permitted Liens) and the aggregate amount of Attributable Indebtedness deemed outstanding with respect to Sale/Leaseback Transactions (other than Sale/Leaseback Transactions in connection with which the Company has voluntarily retired any of the Notes, any Pari Passu Indebtedness or any Funded Indebtedness pursuant to Section 5.02(b)(iii)(x)) does not at any one time exceed 15% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets.

 

(c)           For purposes of this Section 5.01, if at the time any Indebtedness is incurred, issued or assumed, such Indebtedness is unsecured but is later secured by a Lien, such Indebtedness shall be deemed to be incurred at the time that such Indebtedness is so secured by a Lien.

 

Section 5.02.         Limitation on Sale/Leaseback Transactions.

 

(a)           So long as the Notes are outstanding, the Company will not, and the Company will not permit any Subsidiary to, sell or transfer (other than to the Company or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary) any Principal Property, whether owned at the date of the Indenture or thereafter acquired, which has been in full operation for more than 120 days prior to such sale or transfer, with the intention of entering into a lease of such Principal Property (except for a lease for a term, including any renewal thereof, of not more than three years), if after giving effect thereto the Attributable Indebtedness in respect of all such sale and leaseback transactions involving Principal Properties shall be in excess of 15% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets.

 

(b)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company or any Subsidiary may sell any Principal Property and lease it back if the net proceeds of such sale are at least equal to the fair value of such property as determined by the Board of Directors and:

 

(i)            the Company or such Subsidiary would be entitled to incur Indebtedness in a principal amount equal to the Attributable Indebtedness with respect to such Sale/Leaseback Transaction secured by a Lien on the property subject to such Sale/Leaseback Transaction pursuant to Section 5.01 without equally and ratably securing the Notes pursuant to such Section;

 

(ii)           after the Issue Date and within a period commencing nine months prior to the consummation of such Sale/Leaseback Transaction and ending nine months after the consummation thereof, the Company or such Subsidiary shall have expended for property used or to be used in the ordinary course of its business and that of its Subsidiaries an amount equal to all or a portion of the net proceeds of such Sale/Leaseback Transaction and the Company shall have elected to designate such amount as a credit against such Sale/Leaseback Transaction (with any such amount not being so designated to be applied as set forth in clause (iii) below or as otherwise permitted); or

 

(iii)          the Company, during the nine-month period after the effective date of such Sale/Leaseback Transaction, shall have applied to either (x) the voluntary defeasance or retirement of any Notes, any Pari Passu Indebtedness or any Funded Indebtedness or (y) the acquisition of one or more Principal Properties at fair value, an amount equal to the greater of the net proceeds of the sale or transfer of the property leased in such Sale/Leaseback Transaction and the fair value, as determined by the Board of Directors, of such property as of the time of entering into such Sale/Leaseback Transaction (in either case adjusted to reflect the remaining term of the lease and any amount expended by the Company as set forth in the preceding clause (ii)), less an amount equal to the sum of the principal amount of Notes, Pari Passu Indebtedness and Funded Indebtedness voluntarily defeased or retired by the Company plus any amount expended to

 

15











 

acquire any Principal Properties at fair value, within such nine month period and not designated as a credit against any other Sale/Leaseback Transaction entered into by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries during such period.

(iii)          immediately after such transaction no Default or Event of Default exists; and
