1.                                      Interest and Method of Payment.  Payments of interest hereon with respect to any Interest Payment Date will include interest accrued to such Interest Payment Date.  Interest hereon shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

Any payment on this Security due on any day which is not a Business Day need not be made on such day, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such due date.

2.                                      Optional Redemption.

i.              The Company shall have the right to redeem, at any time prior to November 15, 2017, on any one or more occasions, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities of this series (including any additional Securities) at a Redemption Price equal to 107.750% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, subject to the rights of Holders of Securities on the relevant record date to receive accrued and unpaid interest on the relevant Interest Payment Date, with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings; provided that:

(a)           at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities of this series (including any additional Securities) remains Outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption (excluding Securities held by the Company or its Affiliates); and

(b)           the redemption must occur within 60 days of the date of the closing of such Equity Offering.

ii.             The Company shall have the right to redeem, at any time prior to November 15, 2018, on any one or more occasions, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, all or a part of the Securities of this series at any time or from time to time in part, at the option of the Company, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed, plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, subject to the rights of Holders of Securities on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date.

No Securities of $2,000 or less will be redeemed in part.  Notices of redemption will be sent by first class mail at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed at its registered address.  The notice of redemption for the Securities will state, among other things, the amount of Securities to be redeemed, the redemption date, the Redemption Price and the place or places that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of Securities to be redeemed.  Notices of redemption may not be conditional.

If less than all of the Securities are to be redeemed at the Company’s option, the Company will notify the Trustee at least 45 days prior to the redemption date, or any shorter period as may be satisfactory to the Trustee, of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed and the redemption date.  The Securities will be redeemed in accordance with the procedures of the relevant depositary or, in the case of certificated Securities, on a pro rata basis.  If any Security is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to that Security will state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.  A new Security in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Security will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Security.  Securities called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption.  On and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on Securities or portions of them called for redemption.

Within 30 days of any Change of Control, the Company shall notify the Trustee thereof and give written notice of such Change of Control to each Holder of Securities of this series by sending notice to the depositary (in the case of Global Securities) or, in the case of certificated Securities, by sending notice by first-class mail, postage prepaid, at such Holder’s address appearing in the security register, stating (in either case), among other things:

·                                          that any Security of this series not tendered shall continue to accrue interest and, unless the Company defaults in payment of the Change of Control Purchase Price, any Securities of this series accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Change of Control Purchase Date;

·                                          that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Company or the Trustee, as the case may be, receives, not later than the Change of Control Purchase Date, a telegram, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Security (or portions thereof) the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing such Holder’s election to have such Security purchased;

·                                          that Holders whose Securities were purchased in part shall be issued new Securities equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Securities surrendered (or transferred by book-entry transfer); and

3

·                                          any other procedures the Holders must follow in order to tender their Securities (or portions thereof) for payment and the procedures that Holders must follow in order to withdraw an election to tender Securities (or portions thereof) for payment.

A Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, and conditioned upon the occurrence of such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making of the Change of Control Offer.  To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions of the Securities of this series, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached the Company’s obligations under the provisions of this Section 3 by virtue of such compliance.

The Change of Control provisions described in this Section 3 shall be applicable whether or not any other provisions of the Indenture or the Securities of this series are applicable.

The Company shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the applicable tender offer rules, including Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, and any other applicable securities laws or regulations in connection with a Change of Control Offer.  To the extent that the provisions of any applicable securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this covenant (other than the obligation to make an offer pursuant to this covenant), the Company shall comply with the securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached the Company’s obligations described in this Section 3 by virtue thereof.

4.             Guarantees.  The Company may not permit any of its Subsidiaries to guarantee, or become a co-obligor on, any of the Company’s Debt Securities or the Debt Securities of any other of the Company’s Subsidiaries or issue any Debt Securities, unless such Subsidiaries fully and unconditionally guarantee the Securities of this series on a senior basis; provided that a Subsidiary shall not be required to Guarantee the Securities of this series with respect to Debt existing on the Issue Date, so long as (1) the existing Debt is not subsequently guaranteed by such Subsidiary, (2) the existing Debt is not refinanced with Debt that is guaranteed by such Subsidiary, except for Debt that is refinanced on substantially similar terms as exist on the Issue Date, including Guarantees of such Debt, or (3) such Subsidiary does not subsequently become a co-obligor on the existing Debt.

(4)                                 upon the full and final payment and performance of all of the Company’s obligations under the Securities of this series.

The Company covenants and agrees that it shall cause any Subsidiary that becomes obligated to guarantee the Securities pursuant to the terms of this Section 4 to execute a supplemental indenture and to deliver any other documents requested by the Trustee, in such form and substance as is satisfactory to the Trustee, pursuant to which such Subsidiary shall guarantee the obligations of the Company under the Securities and the Indenture in accordance with this Section 4.
