Exhibit 10.1

 

FOURTH AMENDMENT TO

 

KAMAN CORPORATION

 

AMENDED AND RESTATED

 

CHANGE IN CONTROL AGREEMENT

 

THIS FOURTH AMENDMENT (this “Amendment”) is dated March 21, 2013, between Kaman Corporation, a Connecticut corporation (the “Company”), and William C. Denninger (the “Executive”).

 

WHEREAS, the Executive and the Company are parties to an Amended and Restated Change in Control Agreement effective as of November 17, 2008, as amended (the “Agreement”); and

 

WHEREAS, the Company desire to replace the existing Section 5.2 of the Agreement with the alternative proposed by the Company in this Amendment; and

 

WHEREAS, the Executive agrees with the terms of this Amendment;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

 

	
1.  

	
Section 4999 Excise Tax.  Section 5.2 of the Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

 

“5.2 Section 4999 Excise Tax

The Executive shall bear all expense of, and be solely responsible for, all federal, state, local or foreign taxes due with respect to any payment received under the Agreement, including, without limitation, any Excise Tax; provided, however, that any payment or benefit received or to be received by the Executive in connection with a Change in Control or the termination of employment whether payable under the terms of the Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement with the Company or an affiliate (collectively, the “Payments”) that would constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, shall be reduced to the extent necessary so that no portion thereof shall be subject to the Excise Tax but only if, by reason of such reduction, the net after-tax benefit received by the Executive shall exceed the net after-tax benefit that would be received by the Executive if no such reduction was made.  For purposes of this Section:

(a)          The “net after-tax benefit” shall mean (i) the Payments which the Executive receives or is then entitled to receive from the Company or its affiliates that would constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, less (ii) the amount of all federal, state and local income and employment taxes payable by the Executive with respect to the foregoing calculated at the highest marginal income tax rate for each year in which the foregoing shall be paid to the Executive (based on the rate in effect for such year as set forth in the Code as in effect at the time of the first payment of the foregoing), less (iii) the amount of Excise Tax imposed with respect to the payments and benefits described in (i) above.

  

- 1 -

  

 

(b)          All determinations under this Section will be made by an accounting firm or law firm that is selected for this purpose by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer prior to the Change in Control (the “280G Firm”).  All fees and expenses of the 280G Firm shall be borne by the Company.  The Company will direct the 280G Firm to submit any determination it makes under this Section and detailed supporting calculations to the Executive and the Company as soon as reasonably practicable. 

(c)           If the 280G Firm determines that one or more reductions are required under this Section, the 280G Firm shall also determine which Payments shall be reduced (first from cash payments and then from non-cash benefits) to the extent necessary so that no portion thereof shall be subject to the Excise Tax imposed, and the Company shall pay such reduced amount to the Executive.  The 280G Firm shall make reductions required under this Section in a manner that maximizes the net after-tax amount payable to the Executive.

(d)          As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 280G at the time that the 280G Firm makes its determinations under this Section, it is possible that amounts will have been paid or distributed to the Executive that should not have been paid or distributed (collectively, the “Overpayments”), or that additional amounts should be paid or distributed to the Executive (collectively, the “Underpayments”).  If the 280G Firm determines, based on either the assertion of a deficiency by the Internal Revenue Service against the Company or the Executive, which assertion the 280G Firm believes has a high probability of success or controlling precedent or substantial authority, that an Overpayment has been made, the Executive must repay the Overpayment to the Company, without interest.  If the 280G Firm determines, based upon controlling precedent or substantial authority, that an Underpayment has occurred, the 280G Firm will notify the Executive and the Company of that determination and the amount of that Underpayment will be paid to the Executive promptly by the Company.

(e)          The parties will provide the 280G Firm access to and copies of any books, records, and documents in their possession as reasonably requested by the 280G Firm, and otherwise cooperate with the 280G Firm in connection with the preparation and issuance of the determinations and calculations contemplated by this Section.”

	
2.   

	
Appendix A.  Appendix A (Tax Gross-up Payment Rules and Procedures) to the Agreement is deleted in its entirety.

	
3.   

	
Capitalized Terms. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.

	
4.   

	
Full Force and Effect. As expressly modified by the terms of this Amendment, the provisions of the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

 

	
5.   

	
Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and which together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

 

	
6.   

	
Governing Law. This Amendment shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Connecticut without regard to its conflicts of law principles.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Amendment, as of the day and year first written above.

The Notes will be in denominations of $2,000 with integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.
The terms and provisions contained in the Notes will constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Second Supplemental Indenture, and the Company and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Second Supplemental Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby.  However, to the extent any provision of any Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture will govern and be controlling.

             (b)    Global Notes.  Notes issued in global form will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (including the Global Note Legend thereon).  Notes issued in definitive form will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (but without the Global Note Legend thereon).  Each Global Note will represent such of the outstanding Notes as will be specified therein and each will provide that it will represent the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions.  Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby will be made by the Trustee or the custodian of the Notes, at the direction of the Trustee, in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.02 hereof.  The Company initially appoints The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes.

           Section 2.02. Transfer and Exchange.  (a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes.  A Global Note may not be transferred as a whole except by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary.  All Global Notes will be exchanged by the Company for Definitive Notes if:
(i)such Depositary (A) has notified the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue its services as Depositary for such Global Security and no successor Depositary has been appointed within 90 days after such notice or (B) ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 when the Depositary is required to be so registered to act as the Depositary and so notifies the Company, and no successor Depositary has been appointed within 90 days after such notice; 
(ii)the Company determines at any time that the Notes shall no longer be represented by Global Notes and shall inform such Depositary of such determination and participants in such Depositary elect to withdraw their beneficial interests in the Notes from such Depositary, following notification by the Depositary of their right to do so; or
(iii)such exchange is made following the request by or on behalf of at least 25% of the Beneficial Owners seeking to exercise or enforce their rights under the Securities during the continuance of an Event of Default.

Upon the occurrence of either of the preceding events in (i) or (ii) above, Definitive Notes will be issued in such names and in any approved denominations as the Depositary will instruct the Trustee.  Global Notes also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Sections 2.06 and 2.07 of the Base Indenture.  Every Note authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Note or any portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 2.02 or Sections 2.06 or 2.07 of the Base Indenture, will be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and will be, a Global Note.  A Global Note may not be exchanged for another Note other than as provided in this Section 2.02(a), however, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be transferred and exchanged as provided in Section 2.02(b), (c) or (g) hereof.
              (b)    Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the Global Notes.  The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the provisions of this Second Supplemental Indenture and customary procedures.  Transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Notes also will require compliance with either subparagraph (i) or (ii) below, as applicable, as well as one or more of the other following subparagraphs, as applicable:
          (i)    Transfer of Beneficial Interests in the Same Global Note.  Beneficial interests in any Global Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Global Note.  No written orders or instructions will be required to be delivered to the Registrar to effect the transfers described in this Section 2.02(b)(i).

11

          (ii)    All Other Transfers and Exchanges of Beneficial Interests in Global Notes.  In connection with all transfers and exchanges of beneficial interests that are not subject to Section 2.02(b)(i) above, the transferor of such beneficial interest must deliver to the Registrar either:
(A)a written order from a Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in accordance with customary procedures directing the Depositary to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in another Global Note in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged; or
(B)instructions given in accordance with customary procedures containing information regarding the Participant account to be credited with such increase.

Upon satisfaction of all of the requirements for transfer or exchange of beneficial interests in Global Notes contained in this Second Supplemental Indenture and the Notes or otherwise applicable under the Securities Act, the Trustee will adjust the principal amount of the relevant Global Note(s) pursuant to Section 2.02(g) hereof.
(c)    Transfer or Exchange of Beneficial Interests for Definitive Notes.

If any holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note proposes to exchange such beneficial interest for a Definitive Note or to transfer such beneficial interest to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a Definitive Note, then the transferor of such beneficial interest must deliver to the Registrar a written order from a Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in accordance with customary procedures containing information regarding the beneficial interest to be so exchanged or transferred and the recipient of the Definitive Note.
Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this (c)Section 2.02(c), the Trustee will cause the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Global Note to be reduced accordingly pursuant to Section 2.02(g) hereof, and the Company will execute and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver to the Person designated in the instructions a Definitive Note in the appropriate principal amount. Any Definitive Note issued in exchange for a beneficial interest pursuant to this Section 2.02(c) will be registered in such name or names and in such authorized denomination or denominations as the holder of such beneficial interest requests through instructions to the Registrar from or through the Depositary and the Participant or Indirect Participant.  The Trustee will deliver such Definitive Notes to the Persons in whose names such Notes are so registered.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any exchange or transfer of a beneficial interest in a Global Note for a Definitive Note contemplated by this Section 2.02(c) shall only be permitted if (i) the Company determines at any time that the Notes shall no longer be represented by Global Notes and shall inform such Depositary of such determination or (ii) such exchange or transfer is made upon request by or on behalf of at least 25% of the Beneficial Owners seeking to exercise or enforce their rights under the Securities during the continuance of an Event of Default.
(d)    Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Notes for Beneficial Interests.

A Holder of a Definitive Note may exchange such Note for a beneficial interest in a Global Note or transfer such Definitive Notes to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Global Note at any time.  Upon receipt of a request for such an exchange or transfer, the Trustee will cancel the applicable Definitive Note and increase or cause to be increased the aggregate principal amount of one of the Global Notes.
If any such exchange or transfer from a Definitive Note to a beneficial interest is effected pursuant to the previous paragraph at a time when a Global Note has not yet been issued, the Company will issue and, 

12

upon receipt of a Company Order, the Trustee will authenticate one or more Global Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of Definitive Notes so transferred.
A Holder of Definitive Notes may transfer such Notes to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a Definitive Note.
            (e)    Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Notes for Definitive Notes.  Upon request by a Holder of Definitive Notes and such Holder's compliance with the provisions of this Section 2.02(e), the Registrar will register the transfer or exchange of Definitive Notes.  Prior to such registration of transfer or exchange, the requesting Holder will present or surrender to the Registrar the Definitive Notes duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instruction of transfer in form satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by such Holder or by his attorney, duly authorized in writing.  In addition, the requesting Holder will provide any additional certifications, documents and information, as applicable, required pursuant to the following provisions of this Section 2.02(e).

           (f)    Legends.  The following legends will appear on the face of all Global Notes issued under this Second Supplemental Indenture unless specifically stated otherwise in the applicable provisions of this Second Supplemental Indenture.

(Back of Note)
3.375% Senior Notes due 2023
Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.
1.INTEREST.  Maxim Integrated Products, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at 3.375% per annum from the date hereof until maturity.  The Company will pay interest semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each an “Interest Payment Date”).  Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance; provided that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest will accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided, further, that the first Interest Payment Date will be September 15, 2013.  The Company will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal at the rate equal to the then applicable interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful; it will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful.  Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
2.METHOD OF PAYMENT.  The Company will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the March 1 or September 1 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.04 of the Base Indenture with respect to defaulted interest.  Principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes will be payable at the office or agency of the Paying Agent and Registrar or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders of the Definitive Notes at their respective addresses set forth in the register of Holders of Notes; provided that all payments of principal, premium and interest with respect to Notes the Holders of which have given wire transfer instructions to the Trustee will be required to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Holders thereof. Such payment will be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.
3.PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR.  Initially, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar.  The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder.  The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.
4.INDENTURE.  This Note is one of a duly authenticated series of securities of the Company issued and to be issued in one or more series under an indenture (the “Base Indenture”), dated as of June 10, 2010, between the Company and the Trustee, as amended by the Second Supplemental Indenture (the “Second Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), dated as of March 18, 2013, between the Company and the Trustee.  The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (15 U.S. Code Sections 77aaa-77bbbb).  The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of such terms.  To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture will govern and be controlling, and to the extent any provision of the Base Indenture conflicts with the express provisions of the Second Supplemental Indenture, the provisions of the Second Supplemental Indenture will govern and be controlling.  

24

The Company will be entitled to issue Additional Notes pursuant to Section 2.03 of the Second Supplemental Indenture.
5.OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.  (a) At any time before December 15, 2022, the Company may, on any one or more occasions, redeem, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to the greater of the following amounts, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed to, but excluding, the date of redemption or purchase (“Optional Redemption Date”) (subject to the right of the holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date):
(i)            100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed; or
(ii)the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments due on such Notes, 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 plus 25 basis points, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date.

Calculation of the foregoing shall be made by the Company or on the Company's behalf by such Person as the Company shall designate; provided, however, that such calculation shall not be a duty or obligation of the Trustee.
(b)    At any time on or after December 15, 2022, the Company may, on any one or more occasions, redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed to, but excluding, the date of redemption or purchase (“Par Redemption Date”; and the Par Redemption Date and the Optional Redemption date, each, a “Redemption Date”) (subject to the right of the holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date).
On and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption as long as the Company has deposited with the Paying Agent funds in satisfaction of the applicable redemption price.
6.MANDATORY REDEMPTION.  Except as set forth in paragraph 7, the Company shall not be required to make mandatory redemption payments with respect to the Notes.
7.REPURCHASE AT OPTION OF HOLDER.  Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, the Company will be required to offer to purchase all of the outstanding Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of purchase.
8.NOTICE OF REDEMPTION.  The Company will send electronically or by first class mail notice of any redemption at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date (as defined below) to each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in Section 3.02 of the Base Indenture.  If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected by the Trustee on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method the Trustee deems to be fair and appropriate.
9.DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE.  The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000.  Notes may be transferred or exchanged as provided in the Second Supplemental Indenture.  The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Second Supplemental Indenture.  The Company need not exchange or transfer any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.  Also, the Company need not exchange or 

25

register the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or during the period between a record date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date.
10.PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS.  The registered Holder of a Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes.
11.AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER.  The Base Indenture may be amended as provided therein.  Subject to certain exceptions, amendments or modifications to the Second Supplemental Indenture or the Notes may be made with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes affected by the amendment or modification, and compliance by the Company with any provision of the Indenture with respect to the Notes may be waived by written notice to the trustee by the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes affected by the waiver.  Without the consent of any Holder of Notes, the Second Supplemental Indenture or the Notes may be amended or modified in order to, among other things: cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency; secure the Notes, add events of default, covenants or guarantees with respect to the Notes or make any other change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of the Notes; obtain or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act; or make any other change that does not adversely affect the interests of any Holder of Notes.  Subject to certain exceptions, the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may on behalf of the Holders of all Notes waive the Company's compliance with provisions of the Indenture and waive any past default under the Indenture with respect to the Notes and its consequences.
12.DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES.  An “EVENT OF DEFAULT” occurs if there is: 
          (i)    default in the payment of any installment of interest upon any Notes as and when the same shall become due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days; or
         (ii)    default in the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, on any Notes as and when the same shall become due and payable whether at maturity, upon redemption, by declaration, repayment or otherwise; or
        (iii)    failure on the part of the Company to observe or perform any other of the covenants in the or agreements on the part of the Company in respect of the Notes contained in the Indenture for 90 days after notice to the Company; or
        (iv)    an event of default with respect to any other Indebtedness of the Company which results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness in an amount in excess of $50,000,000 without such acceleration having been rescinded or annulled within 30 days after written notice to the Company; or
           (v)   the occurrence of certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries as set forth in Sections 6.01(f) and 6.01(g) of the Base Indenture.

If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders), declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all of the Notes.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Company, the principal (or such specified amount) of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all outstanding Notes will become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders of Notes.  Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture.  Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power.  The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default if it, in good faith, determines that withholding notice is in their interest, except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or interest.  The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its 

26

consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest on, or the principal of, the Notes or in respect if a covenant or a provision that cannot be modified or amended without the consent of all Holders of the Notes.  The Company is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Company is required upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default.
13.TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH COMPANY.  The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee.
14.NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS.  A director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder, of the Company, as such, will not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Notes or 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 liability.  The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes.
15.AUTHENTICATION.  This Note will not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.
16.ABBREVIATIONS.  Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as:  TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).
17.CUSIP NUMBERS.  Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes and the Trustee may use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders.  No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.  The Company will furnish to any Holder upon written request and without charge a copy of the Base Indenture and the Second Supplemental Indenture.  Requests may be made to:
