The aggregate Principal Amount of the Notes due 2018 that may be initially authenticated and delivered under the Indenture (except for Notes due 2018 authenticated and delivered upon registration of, transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Notes due 2018 pursuant to Sections 3.07, 3.09, 3.11, 9.05 or 11.02 of the Indenture) shall be $300,000,000. The Company may from time to time, without the consent of the Holders of Notes of either series, issue additional Notes (in any such case “ Additional Notes ”) of either series having the same ranking and the same interest rate, maturity and other terms as the Notes of that series. Any Additional Notes of a series and the existing Notes of that series will constitute a single series under the Indenture and all references to the relevant Notes shall include the Additional Notes unless the context otherwise requires.
     (c)  Maturity Date . The entire outstanding principal of the Notes due 2013 shall be payable on June 1, 2013 and the entire outstanding principal of the Notes due 2018 shall be payable on June 1, 2018.
     (d)  Interest Rate .
          (i) The rate at which the Notes due 2013 shall bear interest shall be 5.900% per annum and the rate at which the Notes due 2018 shall bear interest shall be 6.650% per annum, in each case, subject to Section 2.02(d)(ii); the date from which interest shall accrue on the Notes shall be May 22, 2008, 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 June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning December 1, 2008; the interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date, will be paid, in immediately available funds, to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or one or more predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be May 15 or November 15, as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date. Any such interest not punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the respective Holders on such Regular Record Date, and such defaulted interest, may be paid to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or one or more predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a special record date for the

8


 
payment of such defaulted interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Notes not less than 15 days prior to such special record date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture. Payment of principal and interest on this Note will be made at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or such other office or agency of the Company as may be designated for such purpose, 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 each installment of interest and principal on this Notes may at the Company’s option with written notice to the Trustee be paid in immediately available funds by transfer to an account maintained by the payee located in the United States, provided such payee has given written wire transfer instructions to the Company.
          (ii) The interest rate payable on the Notes of each series will be subject to adjustments from time to time if either Moody’s or S&P downgrades (or subsequently upgrades) the debt rating assigned to the Notes, in the manner described below.
     If the rating from Moody’s of the Notes of a series is decreased to a rating set forth in the immediately following table, the interest rate on the Notes of such series will increase from the interest rate payable on the Notes on the date of their issuance by the percentage set forth opposite that rating:
         
Rating   Percentage
Ba1
    0.25 %
 
       
Ba2
    0.50 %
 
       
Ba3
    0.75 %
 
       
B1 or below
    1.00 %
     If the rating from S&P of the Notes of a series is decreased to a rating set forth in the immediately following table, the interest rate on the Notes of such series will increase from the interest rate payable on the Notes of such series on the date of their issuance by the percentage set forth opposite that rating:
         
BB+
    0.25 %
 
       
BB
    0.50 %
 
       
BB-
    0.75 %
 
       
B+ or below
    1.00 %

9


 
     If at any time the interest rate on the Notes of a series has been adjusted upward and either Moody’s or S&P, as the case may be, subsequently increases its rating of the Notes of that series to any of the threshold ratings set forth above, the interest rate on the Notes of that series will be decreased such that the interest rate for the Notes of that series equals the interest rate payable on the Notes on the date of their issuance plus the percentages set forth opposite the applicable ratings from the tables above in effect immediately following the increase. If Moody’s subsequently increases its rating of the Notes of any series to Baa3 or higher, and S&P increases its rating to BBB- or higher the interest rate on the Notes of that series will be decreased to the interest rate payable on the Notes of that series on the date of their issuance. In addition, the interest rate on the Notes of each series will permanently cease to be subject to any adjustment described above (notwithstanding any subsequent decrease in the ratings by either or both Rating Agencies) if the Notes of that series become rated A3 and A- or higher by Moody’s and S&P, respectively (or one of these ratings if the Notes are only rated by one Rating Agency).
     Each adjustment required by any decrease or increase in a rating set forth above, whether occasioned by the action of Moody’s or S&P, shall be made independent of any and all other adjustments. In no event shall (1) the interest rate payable for the Notes of a series be reduced to below the interest rate payable on the Notes of that series on the date of their issuance or (2) the total increase in the interest rate on the Notes of a series exceed 2.00% above the interest rate payable on the Notes of that series on the date of their issuance.
     If either Moody’s or S&P ceases to provide a rating of the Notes of a series, any subsequent increase or decrease in the interest rate of the Notes of that series necessitated by a reduction or increase in the rating by the agency continuing to provide the rating shall be twice the percentage set forth in the applicable table above. No adjustments in the interest rate of the Notes of a series shall be made solely as a result of either Moody’s or S&P ceasing to provide a rating. If both Moody’s and S&P cease to provide a rating of the Notes of a series, the interest rate on the Notes of that series will increase to, or remain at, as the case may be, 2.00% above the interest rate payable on the Notes of that series on the date of their issuance.
     Any interest rate increase or decrease described above will take effect from the first day of the interest period during which a rating change requires an adjustment in the interest rate.
     If the interest rate payable on the Notes of a series is increased as described in this Section 2.02(d)(ii), then the term “interest”, as used in this First Supplemental Indenture, the Indenture and the Notes of the applicable series, will be deemed to include any such additional interest unless the context otherwise requires.

10


 
     (e)  Currency . The currency of denomination of the Notes is United States Dollars. Payment of principal of and interest and premium, if any, on the Notes will be made in United States Dollars.
     Section 2.03 . Optional Redemption.
     (a) The provisions of Article 11 of the Indenture shall apply to the Notes.
     (b) At any time and from time to time, the Notes of each series will be redeemable, as a whole or in part, at the Company’s option, on at least 30 days, but not more than 60 days, prior notice mailed to the registered address of eac
