 ARTICLE 1

 AMENDMENTS TO CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF INDENTURE

 Section 1.01. Amendment of Article 5. Article 5 is hereby amended as follows to add a Section 508: 
  

 1 








 If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the
Securities, Holders of Securities will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of their Securities pursuant to the offer described below (the
“Change of Control Offer”). In the Change of Control Offer, the Company shall offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Securities
repurchased, to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). 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 Change of Control, the Company shall mail a notice to Holders of Securities describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase the Securities 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
notice shall, if mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the offer to purchase is conditioned on the Change of Control Triggering Event occurring on or prior to the payment date specified in the notice. The
Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (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 Securities 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
Company shall be required to comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control provisions herein by virtue of such conflicts. 
 On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful, (i) accept for payment all Securities or portions of Securities
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 Securities or portions of Securities properly tendered; and (iii) deliver or
cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Securities properly accepted together with an officers’ certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Securities or portions of Securities being purchased. 
 “Below Investment Grade Rating Event” means the Securities are rated below an Investment Grade Rating by both of the Rating Agencies (as
defined below) on any date from the date of the public notice of an arrangement that could result in a Change of Control until the end of the 60-day period following public notice of the occurrence of the Change of Control (which 60-day period shall
be extended so long as the rating of the Securities is under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade by any of the Rating Agencies); provided that a Below Investment Grade Rating Event otherwise arising by virtue of a particular
reduction in rating shall not be deemed to have occurred in respect of a particular Change of Control (and thus shall not be deemed a Below Investment Grade Rating Event for purposes of the definition of Change of Control Triggering Event) if the
Rating Agencies making the reduction in rating to which this definition would otherwise apply do not announce or publicly confirm or inform the 

  

 2 








 
trustee in writing at the Company’s request that the reduction was the result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance comprised of or arising
as a result of, or in respect of, the applicable Change of Control (whether or not the applicable Change of Control shall have occurred at the time of the Below Investment Grade Rating 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 Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole to any “person” (as that
term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) other than the Company 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” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the then outstanding number of shares of the Company’s voting stock; or
(3) the first day on which a majority of the members of the Company’s Board of Directors are not Continuing Directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed to involve a Change of Control if (1) the Company
becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of a holding company that has agreed to be bound by the terms of the Securities and (2) the Holders of the voting stock of such holding company immediately following that transaction are substantially the same
as the Holders of the Company’s 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. 
 “Continuing Directors” means, as of
any date of determination, any member of the Board of Directors of the Company who (1) was a member of such Board of Directors on the date of original issuance of the Securities; or (2) was nominated for election or elected to such Board
of Directors with the approval of a majority of the Continuing Directors who were members of such Board of Directors at the time of such nomination or election (either by a specific vote or by approval of the Company’s proxy statement in which
such member was named as a nominee for election as a director, without objection to such nomination). 
 “Investment Grade Rating”
means a rating equal to or higher than Baa3 (or the equivalent) by Moody’s and BBB- (or the equivalent) by S&P, and the equivalent investment grade credit rating from any replacement rating agency or rating agencies selected by the Company.

 “Moody’s” means Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. 
 “Person” means any individual, partnership, corporation, limited liability company, joint stock company, business trust, trust, unincorporated
association, joint venture or other entity, or a government or political subdivision or agency thereof. 
 “Rating Agencies” means
(1) each of Moody’s and S&P; and (2) if either Moody’s or S&P ceases to rate the Securities or fails to make a rating of the Securities publicly 

  

 3 








 
available for reasons outside of the Company’s control, a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” within the meaning of Rule
15c3-1(c)(2)(vi)(F) under the Exchange Act, selected by the Company (as certified by a Board Resolution) as a replacement agency for Moody’s or S&P, or both of them, as the case may be. 
 “S&P” means Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.
