NOW, THEREFORE, it is mutually agreed as follows:

ARTICLE I

DEFINITIONS

SECTION 1.01. Definitions. For all purposes of this Seventh Supplemental Indenture, except as otherwise expressly provided or unless the context otherwise requires:

“Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following: (1) the direct or indirect sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Obligor and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole to any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d) and Section 14(d) of the Exchange Act) other than the Obligor or one of its Subsidiaries; (2) the adoption of a plan relating to the Obligor’s liquidation or dissolution; (3) the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) or group of persons, other than the Obligor or its Subsidiaries, becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 of the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the combined voting power of the Obligor’s Voting Stock or other Voting Stock into which the Obligor’s Voting Stock is reclassified, consolidated, exchanged or changed, measured by voting power rather than number of shares; or (4) the first day on which a majority of the members of the Obligor Board are not Continuing Directors.

“Change of Control Repurchase Event” means the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Ratings Event.

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Senior Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Senior Notes.

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, (1) the arithmetic average of four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date after excluding the highest and lowest Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Trustee obtains fewer than four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the arithmetic average of all Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date.

“Continuing Directors” means, as of any date of determination, any member of the Obligor Board who (1) was a member of the Obligor Board on the date of the issuance of the Senior Notes; or (2) was nominated for election or elected to the Obligor Board with the approval of a majority of the Continuing Directors who were members of the Obligor Board at the time of such nomination or election.

“Fifth Supplemental Indenture” means the Fifth Supplemental Indenture dated as of July 20, 2010 to the Indenture between the Obligor and the Trustee, as amended or supplemented from time to time.

“First Supplemental Indenture” means the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of October 29, 2007 to the Indenture between the Obligor and the Trustee, as amended or supplemented from time to time.

“Fitch” means Fitch Ratings Ltd. and its successors.

“Fourth Supplemental Indenture” means the Fourth Supplemental Indenture dated as of July 20, 2010 to the Indenture between the Obligor and the Trustee, as amended or supplemented from time to time.

“Indenture” has the meaning assigned in the recitals.

“Independent Investment Banker” means BNP Paribas Securities Corp., Citigroup Global Markets Inc. or Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, or their respective successors as may be appointed from time to time by the Obligor; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing ceases to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City (a “primary treasury dealer”), the Obligor shall substitute another primary treasury dealer.

“Investment Grade” means a rating of BBB- or better by Fitch (or its equivalent under any successor rating categories of Fitch); a rating of Baa3 or better by Moody’s (or its equivalent under any successor Rating Categories of Moody’s); a rating of BBB- or better by S&P (or its equivalent under any successor Rating Categories of S&P); and the equivalent investment grade credit rating from any additional Rating Agency or Rating Agencies selected by the Obligor.

“Moody’s” means Moody’s Investors Service Inc. and its successors.

“Obligor Board” means the board of directors of the Obligor.

“Rating Agency” means each of Fitch, Moody’s and S&P, so long as such entity makes a rating of the notes publicly available; provided, however, if any of Fitch, Moody’s or S&P ceases to rate the notes or fails to make a rating of the notes publicly available for reasons outside of the control of the Obligor, the Obligor shall be allowed to designate a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” within the meaning of Rule 15c3-l(e)(2)(vi)(F) under the Exchange Act (as certified by a resolution of the board of directors of the Obligor) as a replacement agency for the agency that ceased to make such a rating publicly available. For the avoidance of doubt, failure by the Obligor to pay rating agency fees to make a rating of the notes shall not be a “reason outside of the control of the Obligor” for the purposes of the preceding sentence.

“Rating Category” means (i) with respect to S&P, any of the following categories: BBB, BB, B, CCC, CC, C and D (or equivalent successor categories); (ii) with respect to Moody’s, any of the following categories: Baa, Ba, B, Caa, Ca, C and D (or equivalent successor categories); (iii) with respect to Fitch, any of the following categories: BBB, BB, B, CCC, CC, C and D (or equivalent successor categories); and (iv) the equivalent of any such category of S&P, Moody’s or Fitch used by another Rating Agency. In determining whether the rating of the Senior Notes has decreased by one or more gradations, gradations within Rating Categories (+ and - for S&P or Fitch; 1, 2 and 3 for Moody’s; or the equivalent gradations for another Rating Agency) shall be taken into account (e.g., with respect to S&P or Fitch, a decline in a rating from BB+ to BB, as well as from BB- to B+, shall constitute a decrease of one gradation).

“Ratings Event” means a decrease in the ratings of the Senior Notes by one or more of the Rating Agencies such that the Senior Notes are rated below Investment Grade by all of the Rating Agencies on any date from the date of the public notice of an arrangement that could result in a Change of Control until the end of the 60-day period following public notice of the occurrence of a Change of Control (which period shall be extended so long as the rating of the Senior Notes is under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade by any of the Rating Agencies).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Ratings Event otherwise arising by virtue of a particular reduction in rating shall not be deemed to have occurred in respect of a particular Change of Control (and thus shall not be deemed a Ratings Event for purposes of the definition of Change of Control Repurchase Event hereunder) if the Rating Agencies making the reduction in rating to which this definition would otherwise apply do not announce or publicly confirm or inform the Trustee in writing at its request that the reduction was the result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, the applicable Change of Control (whether or not the applicable Change of Control shall have occurred at the time of the Ratings Event).

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means BNP Paribas Securities Corp., Citigroup Global Markets Inc. or Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, and one other primary treasury dealer selected by the Obligor, and each of their respective successors and any other primary treasury dealers selected by the Obligor.

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the arithmetic average, as determined by the Trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date.

“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to any Senior Note to be redeemed, the remaining scheduled payments of the principal thereof and interest thereon that would be due after the related Redemption Date but for such redemption; provided, however, that, if such Redemption Date is not an Interest Payment Date with respect to such Senior Note, the amount of the next scheduled interest payment thereon shall be reduced by the amount of interest accrued thereon to such Redemption Date.

“Second Supplemental Indenture” means the Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of September 14, 2009 to the Indenture between the Obligor and the Trustee, as amended or supplemented from time to time.

“Senior Notes” has the meaning assigned in the Recitals.

“Seventh Supplemental Indenture” means this Seventh Supplemental Indenture dated as of June 21, 2013 to the Indenture between the Obligor and the Trustee, as amended or supplemented from time to time.

“Sixth Supplemental Indenture” means the Sixth Supplemental Indenture dated as of September 13, 2012 to the Indenture between the Obligor and the Trustee, as amended or supplemented from time to time.

“S&P” means Standard & Poor’s Rating Services, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., and its successors.

“Third Supplemental Indenture” means the Third Supplemental Indenture dated as of September 14, 2009 to the Indenture between the Obligor and the Trustee, as amended or supplemented from time to time.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to Maturity (computed as of the third Business Day immediately preceding that Redemption Date) of the Comparable Treasury Issue. In determining this rate, the Obligor shall assume a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date.

“Voting Stock” of any specified Person as of any date means the capital stock of such Person that is at the time entitled to vote generally in the election of the board of directors of such Person.

These limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by a Holder of any 2023 Senior Notes for enforcement of payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, or interest on, such 2023 Senior Notes on or after the respective due dates expressed in such 2023 Senior Notes.
