ARTICLE 1

Amendments

Section 1.01. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Third Supplemental Indenture, the Initial Note and the Subsequent Note shall be amended such that: (i) the definition of the term “Fee Amount” which appears on the face of the Affected Notes shall read in its entirety as set forth in Annex A-1 hereto, and (ii) Section 6 of each Affected Note shall read in its entirety as set forth in Annex A-2 hereto.

Annex A-1

Amended Definition of “Fee Amount”

Fee Amount” means the amount calculated on a daily basis in the following manner: (i) the Fee Amount on the Initial Trade Date shall equal zero; (ii) on each subsequent calendar day until and including November 19, 2012, the Fee Amount will increase by an amount equal to (A) 0.65% divided by 365 multiplied by (B) the product of the principal amount of the Holder’s Securities and the Index Performance Ratio on that day (or, if such day is not a Trading Day, the Index Performance Ratio on the immediately preceding Trading Day); and (iii) on each subsequent calendar day until and including the Final Valuation Date or, in the case of Securities with respect to which the Holder has exercised its right of Early Redemption or the Company has exercised its Contingent Call Right, the applicable Valuation Date, the Fee Amount will increase by an amount equal to (A) 0.55% divided by 365 multiplied by (B) the product of the principal amount of the Holder’s Securities and the Index Performance Ratio on that day (or, if such day is not a Trading Day, the Index Performance Ratio on the immediately preceding Trading Day).


Annex A-2

Amended Section 6

 

6. Contingent Call Right

The Securities are subject to redemption, in whole and not in part, at the election of the Company, on any Trading Day on or after April 4, 2013 through and including April 5, 2038. Any such election by the Company shall be made by notice given to the Holder not less than five (5) Trading Days prior to the Call Settlement Date specified by the Company in such notice. If the Company elects to redeem the Securities on the Call Settlement Date, the Holder will receive a cash payment equal to the principal amount of the Holder’s Securities times the Index Performance Ratio on the corresponding Valuation Date minus the Fee Amount on the corresponding Valuation Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the corresponding Valuation Date shall be the third Trading Day prior to the Call Settlement Date, as such dates may be postponed as provided in Section 3 hereof.
