⁽¹⁾  Net carrying amount is the principal amount less unamortized debt discount and issuance costs. In addition, the net carrying amount for our 2033E Notes for 2017 included $31 million of derivative debt liabilities recognized as a result of our election to settle entirely in cash converted notes with an aggregate principal amount of $16 million.

⁽²⁾  Since the closing price of our common stock exceeded 130% of the conversion price per share for at least 20 trading days in the 30 trading day period ended on June 30, 2017, these notes are convertible by the holders through the calendar quarter ended September 30, 2017. The closing price of our common stock also exceeded the thresholds for the calendar quarter ended September 30, 2017; therefore, these notes are convertible by the holders through December 31, 2017. The 2033 Notes were classified as current as of August 31, 2017 because the terms of these notes require us to pay cash for the principal amount of any converted notes and holders of these notes had the right to convert their notes as of that date.

⁽³⁾  The 2043G Notes have an original principal amount of $820 million that accretes up to $917 million through the expected term in November 2028 and $1.03 billion at maturity in 2043.

Schedule of Senior Notes

We have the option to redeem the Unsecured Senior Notes. The applicable redemption price will be determined as follows:

	Maturity Date	Redemption Period Requiring Payment of:		Redemption of up to 35% of Original Principal Amount Using Cash Proceeds From an Equity Offering(3)
		Make-Whole(1)	Premium(2)	Date	Specified Price
2023 Notes(4)	Aug 2023	Prior to Feb 1, 2018	On or after Feb 1, 2018	Prior to Feb 1, 2018	105.250	%
2024 Notes	Jan 2024	Prior to May 1, 2018	On or after May 1, 2018	Prior to May 1, 2018	105.250	%
2025 Notes	Feb 2025	Prior to Aug 1, 2019	On or after Aug 1, 2019	N/A	N/A
2026 Notes	Jan 2026	Prior to May 1, 2020	On or after May 1, 2020	N/A	N/A

⁽¹⁾  If we redeem prior to the applicable date, the redemption price is principal plus a make-whole premium as described in the applicable indenture.

⁽²⁾  If we redeem on or after the applicable date, the redemption price is principal plus a premium which declines over time as specified in the applicable indenture.

⁽³⁾  If we redeem prior to the applicable date with net cash proceeds of one or more equity offerings, the redemption price is equal to the amount specified above, together with accrued and unpaid interest, subject to a maximum redemption of 35% of the aggregate original principal amount of the respective series of notes being redeemed. The 2025 Notes and 2026 Notes can not be redeemed with cash proceeds from an equity offering because the principal amount outstanding as of August 31, 2017 of such notes is less than 65% of the original principal amount issued.

⁽⁴⁾  In the first quarter of 2018, we issued a notice to redeem our 2023 Notes. See "Debt Repurchases and Conversions" below.

⁽¹⁾  Debt discount and debt issuance costs are amortized through the earliest holder put date.

⁽²⁾  Represents 130% of the conversion price per share. If the trading price of our common stock price exceeds such threshold for a specified period, holders may convert such notes. See "Conversion Rights" below.

⁽³⁾  Based on the trading price of our common stock of $31.97 as of August 31, 2017.

⁽⁴⁾  It is our current intent to settle in cash the principal amount of our convertible notes upon conversion. As a result, only the amounts payable in excess of the principal amounts upon conversion of our convertible notes are considered in diluted earnings per share under the treasury stock method. For each of our convertible notes, we may elect to settle any amounts in excess of the principal in cash, shares of our common stock, or a combination thereof.

⁽⁵⁾  Holders of the 2033E Notes and 2033F Notes may also put their notes to us on February 15, 2023.

We may redeem our convertible notes under the circumstances listed in the table below. The redemption price for the notes will equal the principal amount at maturity, or the accreted principal amount in the case of the 2043G Notes redeemed on or after November 20, 2018, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

	Conditional Redemption Period at Our Option(1)	Unconditional Redemption Period at Our Option	Redemption Period Requiring Make-Whole

⁽¹⁾  We may redeem for cash on or after the applicable dates if the volume weighted average price of our common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price for at least 20 trading days during any 30 consecutive trading day period.

⁽²⁾  If we redeem prior to the applicable date, we will pay a make-whole premium in cash equal to the present value of the remaining scheduled interest payments from the redemption date to May 4, 2019 for the 2032C Notes and to May 4, 2021 for the 2032D Notes.

⁽³⁾  If we redeem prior to the applicable date, we will be required to pay a make-whole premium only if, as a result of our redemption notice, holders convert their notes. The make-whole premium will be based on the price of our common stock and the conversion date, as set forth in the indenture, and is payable at our election in cash and/or shares.
