Under a Board Resolution, Officers' Certificate pursuant to Board Resolutions or an indenture supplement, the Company may from time to time, without the consent of the Holders of Notes, issue additional Notes (in any such case "Additional Notes") having the same ranking and the same interest rate, maturity and other terms as the Notes. Any Additional Notes and the existing Notes will constitute a single series under the Indenture and all references to the relevant Notes herein shall include the Additional Notes unless the context otherwise requires.
(c) The entire outstanding principal of the Notes shall be payable on the maturity date as identified on Exhibit B attached hereto.
(d) If the Notes are identified as "Fixed" on Exhibit B, the rate at which the Notes shall bear interest shall be the percentage per annum identified as the "Coupon Rate" on Exhibit B attached hereto; and if the Notes are identified as "Step" on Exhibit B, the rates at which the Notes shall bear interest shall be the percentages per annum during the corresponding periods as identified in the applicable footnote under the "Coupon Rate" on Exhibit B attached hereto (the "Applicable Interest Rate"). The date from which interest shall accrue on the Notes shall be on the date specified in Exhibit B attached hereto, or the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or provided for; the Interest Payment Dates for the Notes shall be as identified in Exhibit B attached hereto of each year, commencing on the date as identified as the 1st Coupon Date in Exhibit B hereto (if an Interest Payment Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then the applicable interest payment will be made on the next succeeding Business Day and no additional interest will accrue as a result of such delayed payment); the initial interest period will be the period from and including the date as identified as the 1st Coupon Date in Exhibit B hereto (or the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or provided for), to, but excluding, the initial Interest Payment Date, and the subsequent interest periods will be the periods from and including an Interest Payment Date to, but excluding, the next Interest Payment Date or the Stated Maturity, as the case may be; the interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date, will be paid to the Person in whose name the Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be the record dates as identified in Exhibit B hereto (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date. The initial interest payment on the Notes on the date as identified as the 1st Coupon Date in Exhibit B hereto, or the initial Interest Payment Date, shall be equal to amount identified as the 1st Coupon Amount in Exhibit B hereto. Payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and any such interest on the Notes will be made at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee in New York, New York 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; provided, however, that at the option of the Company payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register. Interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
(e) The Notes shall be initially issuable in global form (each such Note, a "Global Note"). The Global Notes and the Trustee's certificate of authentication thereon shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto. Each Global Note shall represent the outstanding Notes as shall be specified therein and each shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate 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 amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee or the Security Registrar, in accordance with Sections 2.03 and 3.05 of the Indenture.
(f) The depositary for such Global Notes (the "Depositary") shall be The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York. The Security Registrar with respect to the Global Notes shall be the Trustee.
(g) The Notes shall be defeasible pursuant to Section 14.02 or Section 14.03 of the Base Indenture. Covenant defeasance contained in Section 14.03 of the Base Indenture shall apply to the covenants contained in Sections 10.06 and 10.08 of the Indenture.
(h) The Notes shall be redeemable pursuant to Section 11.01 of the Base Indenture and as follows:
(i) The Notes will be redeemable in whole or in part at any time or from time to time, at the option of the Company, on or after the date identified as the Optional Redemption Date in Exhibit B hereto, at a redemption price of $1,000 per Note plus accrued and unpaid interest payments otherwise payable for the then-current quarterly interest period accrued to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption.
(ii) Notice of redemption shall be given in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid or by overnight courier guaranteeing next-day delivery, to each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed, not less than five (5) nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the Redemption Date, at the Holder's address appearing in the Security Register. All notices of redemption shall contain the information set forth in Section 11.04 of the Base Indenture.
(iii) Any exercise of the Company's option to redeem the Notes will be done in compliance with the Investment Company Act.
(iv) If the Company elects to redeem only a portion of the Notes, the Trustee will determine the method for selecting the particular Notes to be redeemed, in accordance with the Investment Company Act.
(v) Unless the Company defaults in payment of the Redemption Price, on and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes called for redemption hereunder.
(i) The "Survivor's Option" is defined in Section 2.01 and, if applicable to the Notes, is a provision in a Note pursuant to which the Company agrees to repay that Note, if requested by the authorized representative of the beneficial owner of that Note, following the death of the beneficial owner of the Note, so long as the Note was owned by that beneficial owner or the estate of that beneficial owner at least six months prior to the request. The Survivor's Option, if applicable, shall be so specified under "Survivor's Option" on Exhibit B attached hereto. Upon the valid exercise of any Survivor's Option and the proper tender of that Note for repayment, the Company will, at its option, repay or repurchase that Note, in whole or in part, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the deceased beneficial owner's interest in that Note plus unpaid interest accrued to the date of repayment. To be valid, any Survivor's Option must be exercised by or on behalf of the person who has authority to act on behalf of the deceased beneficial owner of the Note (including, without limitation, the personal representative or executor of the deceased beneficial owner or the surviving joint owner with the deceased beneficial owner) under the laws of the applicable jurisdiction. The death of a person holding a beneficial ownership interest in a Note as a joint tenant or tenant by the entirety with another person, or as a tenant in common with the deceased holder's spouse, will be deemed the death of a beneficial owner of that Note, and the entire principal amount of the Note so held will be subject to repayment by us upon request. However, the death of a person holding a beneficial ownership interest in a Note as tenant in common with a person other than such deceased holder's spouse will be deemed the death of a beneficial owner only with respect to such deceased person's interest in the Note. The death of a person who, during his or her lifetime, was entitled to substantially all of the beneficial ownership interests in a Note will be deemed the death of the beneficial owner of that Note for purposes of any Survivor's Option, regardless of whether that beneficial owner was the registered holder of that Note, if entitlement to those interests can be established to the satisfaction of the Trustee. A beneficial ownership interest will be deemed to exist in typical cases of nominee ownership, ownership under the Uniform Transfers to Minors Act or Uniform Gifts to Minors Act, community property or other joint ownership arrangements between a husband and wife. In addition, a beneficial ownership interest will be deemed to exist in custodial and trust arrangements where one person has all of the beneficial ownership interests in the applicable Note during his or her lifetime. The Company has the discretionary right to limit the aggregate principal amount of Notes as to which exercises of any Survivor's Option shall be accepted by us from authorized representatives of all deceased beneficial owners in any calendar year to an amount equal to the greater of $2,000,000 or 2% of the principal amount of all Notes outstanding as of the end of the most recent calendar year. The Company also has the discretionary right to limit to $250,000 in any calendar year the aggregate principal amount of Notes as to which exercises of any Survivor's Option shall be accepted by us from the authorized representative of any individual deceased beneficial owner of Notes in such calendar year. In addition, the Company will not permit the exercise of any Survivor's Option except in principal amounts of $1,000 and multiples of $1,000. An otherwise valid election to exercise any Survivor's Option may not be withdrawn. Each election to exercise any Survivor's Option will be accepted in the order that elections are received by the Trustee, except for any Note the acceptance of which would contravene any of the limitations described in the preceding paragraph. Notes accepted for repayment through the exercise of any Survivor's Option normally will be repaid on the first interest payment date that occurs 20 or more calendar days after the date of the acceptance. For example, if the acceptance date of a Note tendered through a valid exercise of any Survivor's Option is September 1, 2011, and interest on that Note is paid monthly, the Company would normally, at its option, repay that Note on the interest payment date occurring on October 15, 2011, because the September 15, 2011 interest payment date would occur less than 20 days from the date of acceptance. Each tendered Note that is not accepted in any calendar year due to the application of any of the limitations described in the preceding paragraph will be deemed to be tendered in the following calendar year in the order in which all such Notes were originally tendered. If a Note tendered through a valid exercise of any Survivor's Option is not accepted, the Trustee will deliver a notice by first-class mail to the registered holder, at that holder's last known address as indicated in the Note register, that states the reason that Note has not been accepted for repayment. With respect to Notes represented by a Global Note, DTC or its nominee is treated as the holder of the Notes and will be the only entity that can exercise any Survivor's Option for such Notes. To obtain repayment pursuant to exercise of any Survivor's Option for a Note, the deceased beneficial owner's authorized representative must provide the following items to the broker or other entity through which the beneficial interest in the Note is held by the deceased beneficial owner: • a written instruction to such broker or other entity to notify DTC of the authorized representative's desire to obtain repayment pursuant to exercise of such Survivor's Option; • appropriate evidence satisfactory to the Trustee (a) that the deceased was the beneficial owner of the Note at the time of death and his or her interest in the Note was owned by the deceased beneficial owner or his or her estate at least six months prior to the request for repayment, (b) that the death of the beneficial owner has occurred, (c) of the date of death of the beneficial owner, and (d) that the representative has authority to act on behalf of the beneficial owner; • if the interest in the Note is held by a nominee of the deceased beneficial owner, a certificate satisfactory to the Trustee from the nominee attesting to the deceased's beneficial ownership of such Note; • written request for repayment signed by the authorized representative of the deceased beneficial owner with the signature guaranteed by a member firm of a registered national securities exchange or of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or a commercial bank or trust company having an office or correspondent in the United States; • if applicable, a properly executed assignment or endorsement; • tax waivers and any other instruments or documents that the Trustee reasonably requires in order to establish the validity of the beneficial ownership of the Note and the claimant's entitlement to payment; and • any additional information the Trustee reasonably requires to evidence satisfaction of any conditions to the exercise of any Survivor's Option or to document beneficial ownership or authority to make the election and to cause the repayment of the Note. In turn, the broker or other entity will deliver each of these items to the Trustee, together with evidence satisfactory to the Trustee from the broker or other entity stating that it represents the deceased beneficial owner. The death of a person owning a Note in joint tenancy or tenancy by the entirety with another or others shall be deemed the death of the holder of the Note, and the entire principal amount of the Note so held shall be subject to repayment, together with interest accrued thereon to the repayment date. The death of a person owning a Note by tenancy in common shall be deemed the death of a holder of a Note only with respect to the deceased holder's interest in the Note so held by tenancy in common; except that in the event a Note is held by husband and wife as tenants in common, the death of either shall be deemed the death of the holder of the Note, and the entire principal amount of the Note so held shall be subject to repayment. The death of a person who, during his or her lifetime, was entitled to substantially all of the beneficial interests of ownership of a Note, shall be deemed the death of the holder thereof for purposes of this provision, regardless of the registered holder, if such beneficial interest can be established to the satisfaction of the Trustee and us. Such beneficial interest shall be deemed to exist in typical cases of nominee ownership, ownership under the Uniform Gifts to Minors Act, the Uniform Transfers to Minors Act, community property or other joint ownership arrangements between a husband and wife and trust arrangements where one person has substantially all of the beneficial ownership interest in the Note during his or her lifetime. The Company retains the right to limit the aggregate principal amount of Notes as to which exercises of any Survivor's Option applicable to the Notes will be accepted in any one calendar year as described above. All other questions regarding the eligibility or validity of a
Form of the Notes The Notes shall each be issued in the form of a Global Note, duly executed by the Issuer and authenticated by the Authenticating Agent, which shall be deposited with, or on behalf of, the Depositary or its nominee, as common depositary for, and in respect of interests held through, Euroclear and Clearstream, and registered in the name of such common depositary or its nominee for the accounts of Euroclear and Clearstream. The 2025 Notes and the Series Trustee’s and Authenticating Agent’s Certification of Authentication in respect thereof shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto and the 2029 Notes and the Series Trustee’s and Authenticating Agent’s Certification of Authentication in respect thereof shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto. So long as Euroclear or Clearstream or their nominee or the Depositary or its nominee is the Holder of the Global Notes, Euroclear, Clearstream, the Depositary or their respective nominees, as the case may be, shall be considered the sole owner or Holder of the Notes represented by such Global Notes for all purposes under the Indenture and the Notes. Except as set forth in Sections 2.03(d) and 2.04(d) hereof, the Global Notes may be transferred, in whole and not in part, only to Euroclear or Clearstream or their respective nominees only through records maintained by Clearstream and Euroclear (with respect to beneficial interests of participants) or by participants or Persons that hold interests through participants (with respect to beneficial interests of beneficial owners), and owners of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will not be entitled to have the Notes registered in their names and will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of Notes in definitive form. Payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest in respect of the Global Notes will be made to Euroclear, Clearstream, such nominee or such Depositary, as the case may be, as Holder thereof. None of the Issuer, the Series Trustee, any underwriter or any affiliate of any of the above or any Person by whom any of the above is “controlled,” as such term is defined in the Securities Act, will have any responsibility or liability for any records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in the Global Notes or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. The terms and provisions contained in the form of Global Notes attached hereto as Exhibits A and B shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this First Supplemental Indenture and the Issuer, by its execution and delivery of this First Supplemental Indenture, expressly agrees to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereto. Any of the Notes may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such notations, legends and endorsements as the officers executing the same may approve (execution thereof to be conclusive evidence of such approval) and are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Indenture (and which do not affect the rights, duties or immunities of the Series Trustee), or as may be required to comply with any law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or with any rule or regulation of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Notes may be listed. For the purposes of this First Supplemental Indenture only, the Global Security Legend for the Notes shall be the legend set forth at the beginning of the form of Global Notes attached hereto as Exhibits A and B, and such legend shall apply in lieu of the legend set forth in Section 2.4 of the Original Indenture.
