MARKEL CORPORATION
2016 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE AND BONUS PLAN

PREAMBLE

The Company has adopted the Markel Corporation 2016 Employee Stock Purchase and Bonus Plan (the “Plan”) in a continuation of the Company’s efforts to encourage share ownership by eligible employees and Directors. The Plan is intended to provide an easy method for making purchases of the Company’s Common Stock and to encourage share ownership by providing a share bonus based on the net increase in the number of shares of Common Stock purchased under the Plan by an eligible employee or Director in a given year. 

The Plan replaces the Company’s prior Employee Stock Purchase and Bonus Plan which was originally effective in 2000 and was most recently amended in 2007 (the “Prior Plan”). The Plan will become effective upon the date of the Company’s 2016 annual meeting, subject to the approval of the Company’s shareholders. No new shares of Common Stock will be issued under the Prior Plan following the effective date of the Plan.

PLAN ELIGIBILITY

1.    All full-time and part-time employees of the Company or its designated subsidiaries are eligible to participate in the Plan. Subject to certain conditions set forth in Article IV below, Directors of the Company are also eligible to participate. An eligible Participant may elect to participate in the Plan by completing an enrollment form (available from the Company’s Human Resources Department or on the Company Intranet) and an IRS W-9 or W-8 Form (also available from the Company’s Human Resources Department or on the Company Intranet). 

2.    An eligible Participant may elect to participate at any time, may make changes in the amount of deductions at any time and may also terminate participation at any time by sending written instructions directly to the Company’s Human Resources Department. Elections will become effective as soon as practicable following the receipt of the election or change form by the Human Resources Department.

Directors may not receive loans under the Loan Program. 

2.    All other applicable plan provisions apply to a Director’s participation in the Plan. 

2

ARTICLE V
METHOD FOR MAKING STOCK PURCHASES

1.    At the time of enrollment an eligible Participant will specify the amounts to be invested and the Company will regularly deduct the specified amount from the Participant’s pay. The Participant may also elect to purchase shares other than by payroll deduction provided each such purchase is for an amount of at least $500. Deductions or contributions made in currencies other than U.S. Dollars will be converted by the Company into U.S. Dollars at the then existing exchange rate as reasonably determined by the Company. Amounts contributed will be combined with all the money contributed by other Participants, if any, and then sent to the stock plan record keeper (the “Record Keeper”), who will then forward the amounts to one or more brokers (collectively the “Investing Broker”) to be used to purchase Common Stock at market prices current at the time of purchase. Purchases may be made on the open market or directly from the Company. The amount of all Participants’ deductions or contributions will be forwarded by the Company to the Record Keeper at least once a payroll cycle for payroll deduction purchases and as soon as practicable for lump sum and Loan Program purchases. Purchases will be made by the Record Keeper, upon receipt of the funds, no less frequently than once a payroll cycle for payroll deduction purchases and as soon as practicable for lump sum and Loan Program purchases. The purchase price for a Participant’s stock will be determined by the average of the market prices for the Common Stock purchased for all Participants in connection with the same purchase order placed by the Record Keeper. 

2.    Each Participant must specify on the enrollment form provided by the Company the amount to be withheld from his or her gross paycheck (multiples of $5, minimum of $25 per pay period), and such deductions will remain in effect until the Participant files a new enrollment form or elects to terminate deductions.  
 
ARTICLE VI
FEES AND EXPENSES

The Company will pay the Investing Broker’s fees for stock purchases made for Participants. The Company will also pay for the cost of administering the stock bonus feature of the Plan described below. The Investing Broker fees and other charges in connection with sales, or in connection with purchases of Common Stock or other securities not made under the Plan will be payable directly by the Participant ordering such transactions. 

ARTICLE VII
PARTICIPANTS’ ACCOUNTS WITH THE RECORD KEEPER

1.    The Record Keeper will open and maintain an individual account for each Participant and will make purchases of Common Stock for the Participant’s account using deductions and contributions made for the Participant. Participants’ accounts will be credited with amounts that would represent “fractional shares.” Under this feature, cash amounts which are not sufficient to purchase whole shares will be credited to a Participant’s account as fractional interests. Certificates for fractional shares will not, however, be issued. Upon sale or distribution, a Participant will receive cash for such fractional interests based on the then current market price of the Common Stock as determined by the Record Keeper. 

2.    Each Participant will receive a statement each quarter as long as there is a balance in his or her account and all notices of meetings, proxy statements and any other material distributed by the Company for the benefit of its stockholders. The Company will not be responsible for keeping records with respect to the Plan other than for payroll purposes and for purposes of determining the Stock Bonus 

3

Awards described below. All other record keeping will be done by the Record Keeper. The Company may receive information about a Participant’s account, including purchases and sales, under the Plan. 

ARTICLE VIII
STOCK BONUS AWARDS

1.    Participants will receive a stock bonus of ten percent of the net increase in shares of Common Stock purchased under the Plan during a given year (a “Stock Bonus Award”). Stock Bonus Awards will be based on the net number of shares of Common Stock purchased from January 1 through December 31 of a given year and will be issued to or on behalf of a Participant not later than March 31 following the end of the year. An employee will not receive a Stock Bonus Award unless he or she is an eligible Participant not on probation on the date the Stock Bonus Award is made. Stock Bonus Awards will not be counted as an increase in the number of shares purchased by a Participant during a calendar year. 

2.    Unless other arrangements satisfactory to the Company in its sole discretion are made, the net increase in the number of shares purchased under the Plan will be based on statements provided by the Record Keeper and the Company will be entitled to rely conclusively on such statements in determining Stock Bonus Awards to be made under the Plan. Because Stock Bonus Awards will be determined by reference to the statements of the Record Keeper, any requests by a Participant for the issuance of shares in certificated form may cause those shares not to be reflected on the statements and accordingly not to be counted for purposes of determining the Stock Bonus Award. 

3.    No Stock Bonus Award will be made for an increase in the number of shares of Common Stock held resulting solely from a subdivision or consolidation of shares, the payment of a stock dividend, a stock split or other change in capitalization. Stock Bonus Awards will be appropriately adjusted to reflect the effects of such a change. 

ARTICLE IX
SALE OF SHARES

1.    Each Participant may sell all or part of his or her stock by contacting the Record Keeper directly. Sales will be processed as soon as practicable on a daily basis. A Participant will be responsible for any sales or brokerage commission incurred in connection with a sale of shares. The right to receive a Stock Bonus Award may not be sold or transferred. 

2.    Persons who are “affiliates” of the Company within the meaning of applicable federal securities laws and regulations (which, in general, means the executive officers and directors of the Company) may not resell shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan in the absence of an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”) or the availability of an exemption from such registration, such as the one afforded by Rule 144 of the 1933 Act. The acquisition of shares of Common Stock by executive officers and non-employee Directors (including the acquisition of shares by bonus awards) as well as any subsequent resale of such shares may be subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Act and the rules issued thereunder regarding “short swing” trading. 

ARTICLE X
TAX CONSEQUENCES OF PLAN PARTICIPATION

Stock Bonus Awards and Special Stock Bonus Awards are subject to applicable income withholding requirements and, unless the Company in its sole discretion accepts another arrangement for 

4

the payment of such withholding, that withholding will be deducted from the employee’s first paycheck following receipt of an Award. Stock Bonus Awards received by Directors will not be subject to withholding (unless a Director is subject to back-up withholding) but may need to be considered by Directors when making estimated tax payments. Stock purchases made under the Loan Program will be made with after tax dollars and will not have a tax impact on the employee or provide a tax deduction for the Company. 
 
ARTICLE XI
LOAN PROGRAM

1.Eligibility. The Loan Program allows eligible employees to borrow money from the Company for the purpose of purchasing shares of Common Stock under the Plan. The Loan Program is available to all regular full-time and part-time employees of the Company and its designated subsidiaries. Loans under the Loan Program are not available to (x) Directors and Executive Officers, (y) employees who are on probation and (z) employees who are employed (i) to perform a specific assignment, (ii) for a period of time of limited duration, (iii) at a location, business unit or division that is being closed, or (iv) who have failed, when required, to execute and deliver an “employee secrecy and non-piracy agreement” or similar nondisclosure or confidentiality agreement on a form provided by the Company. Loans under the Loan Program are also not available to employees who participated in the Loan Program or a previous loan program and who have disposed of their stock when such disposal was not previously approved by the Company’s Human Resources Department. All requests by eligible employees to participate in the Loan Program are subject to approval, disapproval or reductions in loan amount by the Executive Officers of the Company. 

2.Levels of Participation. In order to participate in the Loan Program, a participant must agree to borrow a minimum of $10,000. If an employee’s base salary is less than $50,000, the maximum aggregate principal amount outstanding of all Loans to the employee under the Loan Program generally will be limited to 50% of the employee’s base salary. If an employee’s base salary is greater than or equal to $50,000, the maximum aggregate principal amount outstanding of all Loans available to the employee under the Loan Program generally will be limited to 100% of base salary. In either case, the Executive Officers of the Company may, in their sole discretion and if requested, approve a greater amount up to a maximum of four times base salary or, under special circumstances, $1,000,000. The aggregate principal amount outstanding of all Loans to an employee may not exceed $1,000,000 without the approval of the Board or the Compensation Committee of the Board. 

3.Loan Terms

a.Amount.  The Loan to an employee will be in an original principal amount equal to $10,000 and increments above that amount of $2,500, as selected by the employee. Loan amounts selected in a currency other than U.S. Dollars will be converted by the Company into, and the Loan will be made in, U.S. Dollars at the then existing exchange rate as reasonably determined by the Company. The Loan will be unsecured but will be full recourse to the employee. This means the Loan will represent an unconditional promise to repay the principal amount borrowed plus accrued interest irrespective of the value of the shares of Common Stock purchased under the Plan. Any unpaid principal and interest on the Loan will be due on April 1 of the tenth year from the year the Loan is made. Loans may become due and payable at earlier times upon the occurrence of certain events as provided in Section 3(d) below. 
 
b.Interest.  The Loan will accrue interest from the date on which shares are purchased (“Closing”) until paid in full at a rate of 3% per year. The interest rate may increase if any of the 

5

shares (including Special Stock Bonus Awards) acquired under the Loan Program or previous loan programs are sold, pledged or otherwise transferred except as permitted by the Plan. The interest rate may also increase upon termination of employment of an employee who is a “specified employee” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code as provided in Section 3(d) below.

c.Payments.  

(i)    If the original principal amount of the Loan is less than $25,000, payment must be made by bi-weekly or monthly payroll deductions, as applicable, which will begin as soon as practicable after Closing. If the Loan amount is greater than or equal to $25,000, an employee may elect to make annual payments on March 31 of each year. For annual payment loans made during the first calendar quarter of the year the full annual payment will be due on the following March 31; for annual payment loans made in the second calendar quarter the first payment due will be 75% of the annual amount; for annual payment loans made in the third calendar quarter the first payment due will be 50% of the annual amount and for loans made in the fourth quarter the first payment due will be 25% of the annual amount. 

(ii)    Payment amounts, whether bi-weekly, monthly or annual, will be based on a 3% interest rate per annum and assuming full amortization of the Loan over a 15-year term. The Loan will, however, be due and payable in full on April 1 of the tenth year from the year the loan is made; for example a loan made in August 2016 will be due and payable on April 1, 2026. There will be a balloon payment of remaining principal and accrued interest due at maturity. 

(iii)    The following table gives the payment amounts (both recurring and balloon) per $1,000 borrowed for biweekly (North American operations), monthly (International operations) and annual payments (all operations). For purposes of calculating the balloon payment the loan is assumed to begin on August 1 of a given year. 
	
				
	 
	 
	 
	 

	 
	Recurring amount
	  
	Balloon amount

	Bi-weekly
	3.17

	Monthly
	6.90
	  
	408.42

	Annual
	83.78
	  
	424.95

 
d.    Other Terms 

(i)    All Loans under the Loan Program may be prepaid at any time. Prepayments will be applied first to accrued but unpaid interest and then to principal. Unless a prepayment is equal to or greater than 10% of the then outstanding Loan balance, prepayments will not change the amount of required payments; they will instead reduce the balance of the Loan resulting in a smaller balloon payment or full repayment before the normal maturity date. If a prepayment is equal to or greater than 10% of the then outstanding Loan balance the Company will, at a Participant’s request, prepare a new payment schedule which will provide for the repayment of the remaining Loan balance at the original maturity date in substantially equal installments (either by-weekly or annual, as applicable) on the terms described above. 

(ii)    A Loan will become due and payable at the option of the Company upon 

6

(A) the failure by an employee to make any payment when due; (B) an employee’s insolvency, application for appointment of receiver, filing of a petition under any bankruptcy law or the making of an assignment for the benefit of creditors; (C) an employee’s death or long-term disability or (D) termination of employment with the Company or its subsidiaries, whether voluntary or involuntary, by reason of retirement or otherwise. Loans become due and payable, at the Company’s option, six months after termination of employment due to downsizing or reduction in force and 90 days after termination of employment for other reasons, but in no event later than March 15 of the year following termination for employees who are “specified employees” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. Upon termination of employment of a “specified employee”, the interest rate for a “below market loan” to the employee will increase to the applicable federal rate in effect on the Closing of such loan. 

(iii)    Because the Loan Program is designed to encourage long-term employee ownership of Common Stock, if any shares of Common Stock acquired by a Participant under the Loan Program or previous loan programs (including the Special Stock Bonus Award) are sold, pledged or otherwise transferred, the interest rate on the Loan will be immediately adjusted to a market rate which the Company has determined to be the Prime Rate plus 7%, and payments will also commence immediately at the higher rate. For those making payments by bi-weekly or monthly payroll deduction the payment amount will immediately increase. For those making annual payments, the next payment which would otherwise be due will be immediately due and payable and the remaining annual payment amounts will be increased to reflect the higher rate on the Loan. If a Participant withdraws any such shares from his or her account with the Record Keeper, the Participant must make arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding the registration and/or custody of the share certificates so that the Company can determine the interest rate and payment terms applicable to the Participant’s Loan; a failure to make such arrangements will result in the interest rate and payment terms being adjusted as described above. 

(iv)    The Company will consider waiving the foregoing interest rate and payment adjustments if the purpose of the sale is (x) to fund a medical emergency or other financial hardship or (y) to fund an educational need. Any such waiver must be approved by the Company’s Human Resource Department in advance. In addition, the interest rate and payment adjustments will not apply if after giving effect to the sale the then current market value of the shares held in a Participant’s account with the Record Keeper equals or exceeds two times the then existing Loan balance. 

(v)    Neither a Loan nor any rights or obligations thereunder will be transferable by the Participant except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. The promissory note evidencing the Loan may be sold or transferred by the Company. 

4.    Special Stock Bonus Award. Participants in the Loan Program will receive a stock bonus of five percent of the number of shares of Common Stock purchased under the Loan Program (a “Special Stock Bonus Award”). Neither shares purchased under the Loan Program nor Special Stock Bonus Awards will be counted as an increase in the number of shares purchased by a Participant during a calendar year under the Plan for purposes of determining regular Stock Bonus Awards. An employee will not receive a Special Stock Bonus Award unless he or she is an eligible Participant not on probation on the date the Special Stock Bonus Award is delivered. No Special Stock Bonus Award will be made for an increase or decrease in a number of shares of Common Stock held resulting solely from a subdivision or consolidation of shares, the payment of a stock dividend, a stock split or other change in capitalization. 

7

Special Stock Bonus Awards will be appropriately adjusted to reflect the effects of such a change. 

5.    Company Incentive Payments. 

a.    In connection with the Loan Program the Company will provide an incentive payment (the “Company Incentive Payment”) based on a five-year CAGBV as follows: 

	
			
	5 year CAGBV
	  
	Company Incentive Payment
as % of Original Loan Balance

	Under 10%
	 
	0%

	10%
	 
	1.0%

	11%
	 
	2.0%

	12%
	 
	3.0%

	13%
	 
	4.0%

	14%
	 
	5.0%

	15%
	 
	6.0%

	16%
	 
	7.0%

	17% or more
	 
	Discretionary

b.    For purposes of calculating the CAGBV, book value will be adjusted to exclude the benefit of issuing equity securities at prices above the preceding year-end book value. The Board may amend the scale as well as the method used to calculate CAGBV at any time or from time to time in such respects as it deems advisable in order to respond to changes in the interest rate environment or other factors affecting the CAGBV, and all such modifications will apply to all Loans then outstanding under the Loan Program. 

6.    Payment of Company Incentive Payment 

a.    One-half of the calculated annual Company Incentive Payment will be applied to a Participant’s outstanding indebtedness to reduce the amount of the required balloon payment or the Loan balance and one-half of the calculated annual Company Incentive Payment, net of taxes required to be withheld on the entire Company Incentive Payment, will be paid directly to the employee by March 31 of a given year, provided the employee is still employed on the date of payment. 

b.    If a Loan commitment is received on or before July 1 of a year, a Participant will be eligible for one-half of the Company Incentive Payment, if any, for the year in which the Loan is made. A Participant will not receive a Company Incentive Payment unless he or she is an eligible Participant not on probation on the date the Company Incentive Payment is made. 

8

ARTICLE XII
METHOD OF PURCHASES

1.    In order to participate in the Loan Program, each eligible Participant must complete and return a Loan Program enrollment agreement on a form provided by the Company to the Company’s Human Resources Department. Upon execution of the enrollment agreement, the Participant shall irrevocably agree, subject to any applicable disclosure requirements, to borrow the amount indicated in the enrollment agreement and to execute and deliver promissory notes and other agreements that the Company deems necessary or appropriate to implement the Loan Program. Each enrollment agreement is subject to acceptance or rejection by the Company, in whole or in part. The Record Keeper will make purchases as soon as practicable under the Loan Program. The purchase price for a Participant’s Common Stock will be determined by the average price paid for all of the Common Stock purchased for all Participants in connection with the same purchase order placed by the Record Keeper. Shares acquired under the Loan Program may be purchased in the open market or from the Company. 

2.    A Participant will have full shareholder rights with respect to shares of Common Stock acquired under the Loan Program including the right to vote the shares. A Participant has the right to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of such shares; however such actions may result in a higher interest rate and adjusted payment terms. 

ARTICLE XIII
AMENDMENT/TERMINATION

The Board may terminate or amend the Plan (including the Loan Program) at any time or from time to time in such respects as it deems advisable, subject to approval of the Company’s shareholders to the extent required by the listing requirements of the New York Stock Exchange. 

ARTICLE XIV
ADMINISTRATION

The Board or its authorized delegate (the “Administrator”) shall administer the Plan. The Administrator shall have general authority to impose any term, limitation or condition upon an award that the Administrator deems appropriate to achieve the objectives of the award. The Administrator may adopt rules and regulations for carrying out the Plan with respect to Participants. The interpretation and construction of any provision of the Plan by the Administrator shall be final and conclusive as to any Participant. 

ARTICLE XV
MISCELLANEOUS

1.    The Plan and all awards granted under the Plan are intended to comply with the applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code, except to the extent such awards qualify for an exemption therefrom, and shall be interpreted for all purposes in accordance with such intent. The Plan is intended to be unfunded for federal income tax purposes. The terms of the Plan and the issuance of Common Stock hereunder are subject to compliance with all applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations, including without limitation applicable securities laws, and to such approvals by any listing, regulatory or governmental authority as may, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, be necessary or advisable in connection therewith. Any shares of Company Stock issued under the Plan shall be subject to such restrictions as the Company may deem necessary or desirable to assure compliance with all applicable legal requirements. 

9

2.    The terms of this Plan shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia without regard to its conflict of laws rules. The United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia or the Circuit Court for the County of Henrico shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any disputes arising out of or related to this Plan or Incentive Awards.

ARTICLE 4
 REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES

 

Section 4.01.                          Optional Redemption.  (a) Subject to Section 1.02 hereof, the provisions of Article 11 of the Base Indenture, as supplemented by the provisions of this Supplemental Indenture, shall apply to the Notes.

 

(b)                        At any time and from time to time, the Notes of any series shall be redeemable, as a whole or in part, at the Company’s option. The Redemption Price for any Notes redeemed prior to the Applicable Par Call Date will equal the greater of (i) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed or (ii) the sum, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker based on the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments, discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate plus 10 basis points, in the case of the 2021 Notes, 15 basis points, in the case of the 2026 Notes, and 25 basis points, in the case of the 2046 Notes, plus, in the case of each of clause (i) or (ii), accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the Redemption Date for such Notes. On or after the Applicable Par Call Date for the 2021 Notes, the 2026 Notes and the 2046 Notes, as the case may be, the Redemption Price will equal 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2021 Notes, the 2026 Notes or the 2046 Notes, as the case may be, to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the Redemption Date for such Notes.

 

(c)                         On and after the Redemption Date for a series of Notes, interest will cease to accrue on such Notes or any portion thereof called for redemption, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any. On or before the Redemption Date for the Notes, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or a Paying Agent, funds sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of the Notes to be redeemed on the Redemption Date. If less than all of the Notes of a series are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected by the Trustee by lot, on a pro-rata basis or by such method as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate and subject, in the case of Notes represented by Global Securities, to the applicable procedures of the Depositary; provided, however that in no event, shall Notes of a principal amount of $2,000 or less be redeemed in part.  The Company need not issue, authenticate, register the transfer of or exchange any Notes or portions thereof for a period of fifteen (15) days before the

 

8

 

electronic delivery or mailing of a notice of redemption, nor need the Company register the transfer or exchange of any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part.

 

(d)                        Notice of any redemption pursuant to this Section 4.01 shall be electronically delivered or mailed at least 30 days (in the case of any redemption of Notes prior to the Applicable Par Call Date) or 15 days (in the case of any redemption of Notes with a Redemption Date on or after the Applicable Par Call Dates for such Notes) but in each case not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed. Such notice shall state the Redemption Price (if known) or the formula pursuant to which the Redemption Price is to be determined if the Redemption Price cannot be determined at the time the notice is given. If the Redemption Price cannot be determined at the time such notice is to be given, the actual Redemption Price, calculated as described above in clause (b), shall be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee no later than two Business Days prior to the Redemption Date. Notice of redemption having been given as provided in the Indenture, the Notes called for redemption shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the applicable Redemption Price.

(REVERSE OF NOTE)

 

INTEL CORPORATION
 1.700% Senior Notes due 2021

 

1.             Interest.

 

Intel Corporation (the “Issuer”) promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per annum described above.  Cash 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 May 19, 2016.  Interest on this Note will be paid to but excluding the relevant Interest Payment Date or on such earlier date as the principal amount shall become due in accordance with the provisions hereof.  The Issuer will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, beginning on November 19, 2016.  If any Interest Payment Date, Stated Maturity or other payment date with respect to the Notes is not a Business Day, the required payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest will be due on the next succeeding Business Day as if made on the date that such payment was due, and no interest will accrue on that payment for the period from and after that Interest Payment Date, Stated Maturity or other payment date, as the case may be, to the date of that payment on the next succeeding Business Day.  Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

 

The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal from time to time on demand at the rate borne by the Notes and at the same rate on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) to the extent lawful from the dates such amounts are due until such amounts are paid or made available for payment.

 

2.             Paying Agent.

 

Initially, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the “Trustee”) will act as Paying Agent.  The Issuer may change any Paying Agent without notice to the Holders.

 

3.             Indenture; Defined Terms.

 

This Note is one of the  1.700% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “Notes”) issued under the Indenture dated as of March 29, 2006, as amended by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of December 3, 2007 (together, the “Base Indenture”) and, as amended, modified and supplemented by the Eighth Supplemental Indenture dated as of May 19, 2016 (the “Eighth Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), by and between the Issuer and the Trustee, as trustee.  This Note is a “Security” and the Notes are “Securities” under the Indenture.  Each series of Securities issued under the Eighth Supplemental Indenture (together with any other Securities thereafter issued and included in any such series) is referred to herein as an “Other Series of 2016 Notes” and, together with the Notes, as the “2016 Notes.”

 

For purposes of this Note, unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms herein are used as defined in the Indenture.  The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture

 

20

 

Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. Sections 77aaa-77bbbb) (the “TIA”) as in effect on the date on which the Indenture was qualified under the TIA.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders of Notes are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of them.  To the extent the terms of the Indenture and this Note are inconsistent, the terms of the Indenture shall govern.

 

4.             Denominations; Transfer; Exchange.

 

The Notes are in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $2,000 and multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.  A Holder shall register the transfer or exchange of Notes in accordance with the Indenture.  The Issuer may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay certain transfer taxes or similar governmental charges payable in connection therewith as permitted by the Indenture.  The Issuer need not issue, authenticate, register the transfer of or exchange any Notes or portions thereof for a period of fifteen (15) days before the electronic delivery or mailing of a notice of redemption, nor need the Issuer register the transfer or exchange of any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part.

 

5.             Amendment; Modification; Waiver.

 

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer and the rights of the Holders of each series of 2016 Notes affected under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the 2016 Notes at the time Outstanding of all series of 2016 Notes affected thereby. The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities of a series at the time Outstanding with respect to which a default under the Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive, with certain exceptions, such past default with respect to such series and its consequences. The Indenture also permits the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the 2016 Notes at the time Outstanding of all series of 2016 Notes (voting together as a single class), on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive future compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture. 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 Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.  Without notice to or consent of any Holder, the Indenture also permits the amendment or supplement thereof to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency or comply with any requirements of the Commission in connection with qualifications of the Indenture under the TIA, or make any other change that does not adversely affect the rights of Holders in any material respect.

 

21

 

6.             Optional Redemption.

 

The Issuer may redeem the Notes in whole or in part, at its option, at any time or from time to time prior to Maturity (the date of such redemption, the “Redemption Date”).  The Redemption Price prior to April 19, 2021 (the “Applicable Par Call Date”) will be equal to the greater of:

 

(i)            100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed; or

 

(ii)           the sum, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker based on the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments, discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months), using a rate equal to the Treasury Rate plus 10 basis points (such sum to be calculated as set forth in the Indenture),

 

plus, in the case of (i) or (ii), accrued interest thereon to, but not including, the Redemption Date.

 

In the case of any redemption with a Redemption Date on or after the Applicable Par Call Date, the Redemption Price will equal 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued interest thereon to, but not including, the Redemption Date.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on Notes 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 Regular Record Date according to the Notes and the Indenture, subject to the applicable procedures of the Depositary.

 

On and after the Redemption Date for the Notes, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or any portion thereof called for redemption, unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any. On or before the Redemption Date for the Notes, the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee or a Paying Agent, funds sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of the Notes to be redeemed on the Redemption Date. If less 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 such method as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate and subject, in the case of Notes represented by Global Securities, to the applicable procedures of the Depositary; provided, however that in no event, shall Notes of a principal amount of $2,000 or less be redeemed in part.

 

Notice of any redemption shall be electronically delivered or mailed at least 30 days (in the case of any Redemption Date prior to the Applicable Par Call Date) or 15 days (in the case of any Redemption Date on or after the applicable Par Call Date) but, in each case, not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed.  Such notice shall state the Redemption Price (if known) or the formula pursuant to which the Redemption Price is to be determined if the Redemption

 

22

 

Price cannot be determined at the time the notice is given. If the Redemption Price cannot be determined at the time such notice is to be given, the actual Redemption Price, calculated as set forth in the Indenture, shall be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer delivered to the Trustee no later than two Business Days prior to the Redemption Date. Notice of redemption having been given as provided in the Indenture, the Notes called for redemption shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the applicable Redemption Price.

 

7.             Defaults and Remedies.

 

If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may declare the principal amount of all the Notes to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Issuer (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount) shall become immediately due and payable.

 

The Indenture permits, subject to certain limitations therein provided, Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Notes.

 

8.             Authentication.

 

This Note shall not be valid until the Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication on this Note.

 

9.             Abbreviations and Defined Terms.

 

Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder of a Note 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).

 

10.          CUSIP Numbers.

 

Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Issuer has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes as a convenience to the Holders of the Notes.  No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers as printed on the Notes and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed hereon.

 

11.          Governing Law.

 

The laws of the State of New York shall govern the Indenture and this Note without regard to conflicts of laws principles thereof.

(REVERSE OF NOTE)

 

INTEL CORPORATION
 2.600% Senior Notes due 2026

 

1.             Interest.

 

Intel Corporation (the “Issuer”) promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per annum described above.  Cash 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 May 19, 2016.  Interest on this Note will be paid to but excluding the relevant Interest Payment Date or on such earlier date as the principal amount shall become due in accordance with the provisions hereof.  The Issuer will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, beginning on November 19, 2016.  If any Interest Payment Date, Stated Maturity or other payment date with respect to the Notes is not a Business Day, the required payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest will be due on the next succeeding Business Day as if made on the date that such payment was due, and no interest will accrue on that payment for the period from and after that Interest Payment Date, Stated Maturity or other payment date, as the case may be, to the date of that payment on the next succeeding Business Day.  Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

 

The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal from time to time on demand at the rate borne by the Notes and at the same rate on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) to the extent lawful from the dates such amounts are due until such amounts are paid or made available for payment.

 

2.             Paying Agent.

 

Initially, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the “Trustee”) will act as Paying Agent.  The Issuer may change any Paying Agent without notice to the Holders.

 

3.             Indenture; Defined Terms.

 

This Note is one of the  2.600% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Notes”) issued under the Indenture dated as of March 29, 2006, as amended by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of December 3, 2007 (together, the “Base Indenture”) and, as amended, modified and supplemented by the Eighth Supplemental Indenture dated as of May 19, 2016 (the “Eighth Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), by and between the Issuer and the Trustee, as trustee.  This Note is a “Security” and the Notes are “Securities” under the Indenture.  Each series of Securities issued under the Eighth Supplemental Indenture (together with any other Securities thereafter issued and included in any such series) is referred to herein as an “Other Series of 2016 Notes” and, together with the Notes, as the “2016 Notes.”

 

For purposes of this Note, unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms herein are used as defined in the Indenture.  The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture

 

30

 

Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. Sections 77aaa-77bbbb) (the “TIA”) as in effect on the date on which the Indenture was qualified under the TIA.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders of Notes are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of them.  To the extent the terms of the Indenture and this Note are inconsistent, the terms of the Indenture shall govern.

 

4.             Denominations; Transfer; Exchange.

 

The Notes are in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $2,000 and multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.  A Holder shall register the transfer or exchange of Notes in accordance with the Indenture.  The Issuer may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay certain transfer taxes or similar governmental charges payable in connection therewith as permitted by the Indenture.  The Issuer need not issue, authenticate, register the transfer of or exchange any Notes or portions thereof for a period of fifteen (15) days before the electronic delivery or mailing of a notice of redemption, nor need the Issuer register the transfer or exchange of any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part.

 

5.             Amendment; Modification; Waiver.

 

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer and the rights of the Holders of each series of 2016 Notes affected under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the 2016 Notes at the time Outstanding of all series of 2016 Notes affected thereby. The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities of a series at the time Outstanding with respect to which a default under the Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive, with certain exceptions, such past default with respect to such series and its consequences. The Indenture also permits the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the 2016 Notes at the time Outstanding of all series of 2016 Notes (voting together as a single class), on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive future compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture. 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 Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.  Without notice to or consent of any Holder, the Indenture also permits the amendment or supplement thereof to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency or comply with any requirements of the Commission in connection with qualifications of the Indenture under the TIA, or make any other change that does not adversely affect the rights of Holders in any material respect.

 

31

 

6.             Optional Redemption.

 

The Issuer may redeem the Notes in whole or in part, at its option, at any time or from time to time prior to Maturity (the date of such redemption, the “Redemption Date”).  The Redemption Price prior to February 19, 2026 (the “Applicable Par Call Date”) will be equal to the greater of:

 

(i)            100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed; or

 

(ii)           the sum, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker based on the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments, discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months), using a rate equal to the Treasury Rate plus 15 basis points (such sum to be calculated as set forth in the Indenture),

 

plus, in the case of (i) or (ii), accrued interest thereon to, but not including, the Redemption Date.

 

In the case of any redemption with a Redemption Date on or after the Applicable Par Call Date, the Redemption Price will equal 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued interest thereon to, but not including, the Redemption Date.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on Notes 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 Regular Record Date according to the Notes and the Indenture, subject to the applicable procedures of the Depositary.

 

On and after the Redemption Date for the Notes, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or any portion thereof called for redemption, unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any. On or before the Redemption Date for the Notes, the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee or a Paying Agent, funds sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of the Notes to be redeemed on the Redemption Date. If less 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 such method as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate and subject, in the case of Notes represented by Global Securities, to the applicable procedures of the Depositary; provided, however that in no event, shall Notes of a principal amount of $2,000 or less be redeemed in part.

 

Notice of any redemption shall be electronically delivered or mailed at least 30 days (in the case of any Redemption Date prior to the Applicable Par Call Date) or 15 days (in the case of any Redemption Date on or after the applicable Par Call Date) but, in each case, not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed.  Such notice shall state the Redemption Price (if known) or the formula pursuant to which the Redemption Price is to be determined if the Redemption

 

32

 

Price cannot be determined at the time the notice is given. If the Redemption Price cannot be determined at the time such notice is to be given, the actual Redemption Price, calculated as set forth in the Indenture, shall be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer delivered to the Trustee no later than two Business Days prior to the Redemption Date. Notice of redemption having been given as provided in the Indenture, the Notes called for redemption shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the applicable Redemption Price.

 

7.             Defaults and Remedies.

 

If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may declare the principal amount of all the Notes to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Issuer (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount) shall become immediately due and payable.

 

The Indenture permits, subject to certain limitations therein provided, Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Notes.

 

8.             Authentication.

 

This Note shall not be valid until the Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication on this Note.

 

9.             Abbreviations and Defined Terms.

 

Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder of a Note 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).

 

10.          CUSIP Numbers.

 

Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Issuer has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes as a convenience to the Holders of the Notes.  No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers as printed on the Notes and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed hereon.

 

11.          Governing Law.

 

The laws of the State of New York shall govern the Indenture and this Note without regard to conflicts of laws principles thereof.

(REVERSE OF NOTE)

 

INTEL CORPORATION
 4.100% Senior Notes due 2046

 

1.             Interest.

 

Intel Corporation (the “Issuer”) promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per annum described above.  Cash 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 May 19, 2016.  Interest on this Note will be paid to but excluding the relevant Interest Payment Date or on such earlier date as the principal amount shall become due in accordance with the provisions hereof.  The Issuer will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, beginning on November 19, 2016.  If any Interest Payment Date, Stated Maturity or other payment date with respect to the Notes is not a Business Day, the required payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest will be due on the next succeeding Business Day as if made on the date that such payment was due, and no interest will accrue on that payment for the period from and after that Interest Payment Date, Stated Maturity or other payment date, as the case may be, to the date of that payment on the next succeeding Business Day.  Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

 

The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal from time to time on demand at the rate borne by the Notes and at the same rate on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) to the extent lawful from the dates such amounts are due until such amounts are paid or made available for payment.

 

2.             Paying Agent.

 

Initially, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the “Trustee”) will act as Paying Agent.  The Issuer may change any Paying Agent without notice to the Holders.

 

3.             Indenture; Defined Terms.

 

This Note is one of the  4.100% Senior Notes due 2046 (the “Notes”) issued under the Indenture dated as of March 29, 2006, as amended by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of December 3, 2007 (together, the “Base Indenture”) and, as amended, modified and supplemented by the Eighth Supplemental Indenture dated as of May 19, 2016 (the “Eighth Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), by and between the Issuer and the Trustee, as trustee.  This Note is a “Security” and the Notes are “Securities” under the Indenture.  Each series of Securities issued under the Eighth Supplemental Indenture (together with any other Securities thereafter issued and included in any such series) is referred to herein as an “Other Series of 2016 Notes” and, together with the Notes, as the “2016 Notes.”

 

For purposes of this Note, unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms herein are used as defined in the Indenture.  The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture

 

40

 

Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. Sections 77aaa-77bbbb) (the “TIA”) as in effect on the date on which the Indenture was qualified under the TIA.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders of Notes are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of them.  To the extent the terms of the Indenture and this Note are inconsistent, the terms of the Indenture shall govern.

 

4.             Denominations; Transfer; Exchange.

 

The Notes are in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $2,000 and multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.  A Holder shall register the transfer or exchange of Notes in accordance with the Indenture.  The Issuer may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay certain transfer taxes or similar governmental charges payable in connection therewith as permitted by the Indenture.  The Issuer need not issue, authenticate, register the transfer of or exchange any Notes or portions thereof for a period of fifteen (15) days before the electronic delivery or mailing of a notice of redemption, nor need the Issuer register the transfer or exchange of any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part.

 

5.             Amendment; Modification; Waiver.

 

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer and the rights of the Holders of each series of 2016 Notes affected under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the 2016 Notes at the time Outstanding of all series of 2016 Notes affected thereby. The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities of a series at the time Outstanding with respect to which a default under the Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive, with certain exceptions, such past default with respect to such series and its consequences. The Indenture also permits the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the 2016 Notes at the time Outstanding of all series of 2016 Notes (voting together as a single class), on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive future compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture. 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 Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.  Without notice to or consent of any Holder, the Indenture also permits the amendment or supplement thereof to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency or comply with any requirements of the Commission in connection with qualifications of the Indenture under the TIA, or make any other change that does not adversely affect the rights of Holders in any material respect.

 

41

 

6.             Optional Redemption.

 

The Issuer may redeem the Notes in whole or in part, at its option, at any time or from time to time prior to Maturity (the date of such redemption, the “Redemption Date”).  The Redemption Price prior to November 19, 2045 (the “Applicable Par Call Date”) will be equal to the greater of:

 

(i)            100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed; or

 

(ii)           the sum, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker based on the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments, discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months), using a rate equal to the Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points (such sum to be calculated as set forth in the Indenture),

 

plus, in the case of (i) or (ii), accrued interest thereon to, but not including, the Redemption Date.

 

In the case of any redemption with a Redemption Date on or after the Applicable Par Call Date, the Redemption Price will equal 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued interest thereon to, but not including, the Redemption Date.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on Notes 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 Regular Record Date according to the Notes and the Indenture, subject to the applicable procedures of the Depositary.

 

On and after the Redemption Date for the Notes, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or any portion thereof called for redemption, unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any. On or before the Redemption Date for the Notes, the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee or a Paying Agent, funds sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of the Notes to be redeemed on the Redemption Date. If less 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 such method as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate and subject, in the case of Notes represented by Global Securities, to the applicable procedures of the Depositary; provided, however that in no event, shall Notes of a principal amount of $2,000 or less be redeemed in part.

 

Notice of any redemption shall be electronically delivered or mailed at least 30 days (in the case of any Redemption Date prior to the Applicable Par Call Date) or 15 days (in the case of any Redemption Date on or after the applicable Par Call Date) but, in each case, not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed.  Such notice shall state the Redemption Price (if known) or the formula pursuant to which the Redemption Price is to be determined if the Redemption

 

42

 

Price cannot be determined at the time the notice is given. If the Redemption Price cannot be determined at the time such notice is to be given, the actual Redemption Price, calculated as set forth in the Indenture, shall be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer delivered to the Trustee no later than two Business Days prior to the Redemption Date. Notice of redemption having been given as provided in the Indenture, the Notes called for redemption shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the applicable Redemption Price.

 

7.             Defaults and Remedies.

 

If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may declare the principal amount of all the Notes to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Issuer (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount) shall become immediately due and payable.

 

The Indenture permits, subject to certain limitations therein provided, Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Notes.

 

8.             Authentication.

 

This Note shall not be valid until the Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication on this Note.

 

9.             Abbreviations and Defined Terms.

 

Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder of a Note 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).

 

10.          CUSIP Numbers.

 

Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Issuer has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes as a convenience to the Holders of the Notes.  No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers as printed on the Notes and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed hereon.
