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

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

however , that each installment of interest and principal on
this Notes may at the Company’s option with written notice to

an account maintained by the payee located in the United States,
provided such payee has given written wire transfer instructions to

(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:

If the rating from S&P of the

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
