ANNEX I
The terms “Indenture” and
“Company,” as used in this Annex I, have the respective
meanings set forth in the Officers’ Certificate to which this
Annex I is attached, and other capitalized terms used in this Annex
I and not otherwise defined herein have the same definitions as in
the Indenture.
(1) The
series of Securities established hereby shall be known and
designated as the 7.375% Notes due 2019 (the “Offered
Securities”).
(2) The
aggregate principal amount of the Offered Securities of such series
that may be authenticated and delivered under the Indenture is
initially limited to $500,000,000, except for Offered Securities of
such series authenticated and delivered upon registration of
transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Offered
Securities of such series pursuant to Sections 2.2A, 2.8, 2.9,
2.11, 8.5 or 12.3 of the Indenture or pursuant to the provisions
appearing under the caption “Offer to Purchase Upon Change of
Control Triggering Event” in the form of certificate
evidencing the Offered Securities of such series attached hereto as
Exhibit 1. However, such series of Offered Securities
may be re-opened from time to time by the Company for the issuance
of additional Offered Securities of such series, without the
consent of the Holders, so long as any such additional Offered
Securities of such series have the same form and terms (except that
any such additional Offered Securities may be dated as of different
dates and may have different dates from which interest thereon
shall begin to accrue), and carry the same right to receive accrued
and unpaid interest, as the Offered Securities of such series
theretofore issued; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Offered Securities of such series may not be
reopened if the Company has effected satisfaction and discharge or
defeasance with respect to the Offered Securities of such series
pursuant to Section 10.1(A) or 10.1(B) of the Indenture; and
provided, further, that no additional Offered Securities of such
series may be issued at a price that would cause such additional
Offered Securities to have “original issue discount”
within the meaning of Section 1273 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended.
