Section 2.01.There is hereby established, and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee on the date hereof, a series of Securities designated the “5.000% Senior Notes” limited in aggregate principal amount to $275,000,000. The 5.000% Senior Notes shall mature and the principal shall be due and payable, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, on the Stated Maturity, subject to the provisions of the Indenture relating to the acceleration of maturity. The 5.000% Senior Notes shall be issued in fully registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The 5.000% Senior Notes shall be issued in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto.
Section 2.02.The 5.000% Senior Notes shall be issued in the form of one or more Registered Global Securities and registered in the name of the Depository (which shall be The Depository Trust Company) or its nominee. 5.000% Senior Notes represented by a Global Security will not be exchangeable for, and will not otherwise be issuable as, 5.000% Senior Notes in certificated form, except as may be provided in Sections 2.7 or 2.12 of the Indenture and except if there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default and the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of 5.000% Senior Notes determine to discontinue the system of book-entry transfers through the Depository. Any Global Security that is exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be exchangeable for 5.000% Senior Notes registered in such names as the Depository shall direct.
Section 2.03.The Registered Global Securities described above may not be transferred except by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository or by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or another nominee of the Depository or to a successor Depository or its nominee.
Owners of beneficial interests in such Registered Global Securities will not be considered the holders thereof for any purpose under the Indenture, and no Global Security representing a 5.000% Senior Note shall be exchangeable, except for another Global Security of like denomination and tenor to be registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee or to a successor Depository or its nominee. The rights of holders of such Registered Global Securities shall be exercised only through the Depository.
Section 2.04.Each 5.000% Senior Note will bear interest at the rate of 5.000% per annum from and including the date of original issuance or from the most recent Interest Payment Date (as defined below) to which interest has been paid or duly provided for until the principal thereof becomes due and payable, and on any overdue principal and (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) on any overdue installment of interest at the same rate per annum. Interest shall be paid semi-annually in arrears on March 19 and September 19 of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing on March 19, 2013 to the person in whose name such 5.000% Senior Note or any predecessor 5.000% Senior Note is registered at the close of business on the last of the month preceding the month in which such Interest Payment Date occurs (the “Record Date”), provided that the interest payable at the Stated Maturity will be paid to the person to whom principal is payable. Any such interest installment not punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered holder on the relevant Record Date, and may be paid to the person in whose name the 5.000% Senior Note (or one or more predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a special record date to be fixed by the Trustee for the payment of such defaulted interest, notice whereof shall be given to the registered holders of the 5.000% Senior Notes not less than 10 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 5.000% Senior Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.
The amount of interest payable for any period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and, for any period shorter than a full calendar month, on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in such period. In the event that any date on which interest is payable on the 5.000% Senior Notes is not a Business Day, then payment of interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay), except that, if such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar year, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day (and without any reduction in interest or other payment in respect of any such early payment), in each case with the same force and effect as if made on the date such payment was originally payable.
Payment of the principal and interest due at the Stated Maturity of the 5.000% Senior Notes shall be made upon surrender of the 5.000% Senior Notes at the Corporate Trust Office. The principal of and interest on the 5.000% Senior Notes shall be paid in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments of interest (including interest on any Interest Payment Date) will be made, subject to such surrender where applicable, at the option of the Company, (i) by check mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register or (ii) by wire transfer in immediately available funds at such place and to such account at a banking institution in the United States as may be designated in writing to the Trustee at least 14 days prior to the date for payment by the person entitled thereto.
Section 2.05.The 5.000% Senior Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of the Company and will rank equally in right of payment with all of the other senior unsecured, unguaranteed and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company from time to time outstanding. The 5.000% Senior Notes will rank senior to any subordinated indebtedness of the Company.
Section 2.06.The Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, incur, issue, assume or Guarantee any Indebtedness if such Indebtedness is secured by Lien on any shares of Voting Stock of any Significant Subsidiary, whether such Voting Stock is now owned or shall hereafter be acquired, without providing that the Securities (together with, if the Company shall so determine, any other Indebtedness or obligations of the Company or any Subsidiary ranking equally with such Securities and then existing or thereafter created) shall be secured equally and ratably with such Indebtedness. For the purposes of the foregoing, pledging, placing a lien on or creating a security interest in any shares of Voting Stock of a Significant Subsidiary in order to secure then outstanding Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary shall be deemed to be the incurrence, issuance, assumption or Guarantee (as the case may be) of such Indebtedness.
The foregoing limitation shall not apply to (i) up to $10 million of Indebtedness not contemplated by clauses (ii) and (iii), (ii) Indebtedness secured by a Lien on any shares of Voting Stock of any corporation if such Lien is made or granted prior to or at the time such corporation becomes a Significant Subsidiary, (iii) Liens securing Indebtedness of a Significant Subsidiary to the Company or another Significant Subsidiary or (iv) the extension, renewal or replacement (or successive extensions, renewals or replacements), in whole or in part, of any Lien referred to in the foregoing clauses (ii) and (iii) but only if the principal amount of Indebtedness secured by the Liens immediately prior to the extension, renewal or replacement is not increased and the Lien is not extended to other property.
Section 2.07. The Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any shares of Capital Stock of any Significant Subsidiary (or of any Subsidiary having direct or indirect control of any Significant Subsidiary) except for, subject to the covenant relating to mergers and sales of assets described in Section 5.1, (i) a sale, transfer or other disposition of any Capital Stock of any Significant Subsidiary (or of any Subsidiary having direct or indirect control of any Significant Subsidiary) to a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Company or (ii) a sale, transfer or other disposition for at least fair value (as determined by the Board of Directors acting in good faith) of any of the Capital Stock of any Significant Subsidiary (or of any Subsidiary having direct or indirect control of any Significant Subsidiary) held by the Company and its Subsidiaries, and in either such case, after giving effect to the use of proceeds therefrom, the Company and its Subsidiaries, considered as a whole, would continue to be principally engaged in the business the Company and its Subsidiaries conduct as of September 17, 2012.
Section 2.08. The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in Sections 2.06 or 2.07 of this First Supplemental Indenture if, before the time for such compliance the Holders of at least a majority (or such greater amount as may be specified in any such term, provision or condition) in Principal amount of the outstanding Securities shall, by the act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such term, provision or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such term, provision or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in full force and effect.
Article Three
Redemption of the 5.000% Senior Notes
Section 3.01.Subject to the terms of Article Three of the Indenture, the Company shall have the right to redeem the 5.000% Senior Notes, in whole, at any time, or in part, from time to time, at a redemption price (the “Redemption Price”) equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the 5.000% Senior Notes to be redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the 5.000% Senior Notes to be redeemed (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points; plus, in each case, any accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of such redemption. If the 5.000% Senior Notes are only partially redeemed pursuant to this Section 3.01, the 5.000% Senior Notes will be redeemed pro rata by the Trustee. The Company may not redeem the 5.000% Senior Notes in part unless all accrued and unpaid interest has been paid in full on all outstanding 5.000% Senior Notes for all interest periods terminating on or prior to the date of redemption.
Notwithstanding Section 3.2 of the Indenture, the notice of redemption with respect to the foregoing redemption need not set forth the Redemption Price but only the manner of calculation thereof. The Company shall notify the Trustee of the Redemption Price with respect to the foregoing redemption promptly after the calculation thereof. The Trustee shall not be responsible for calculating said Redemption Price.

The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all series at the time outstanding affected thereby, on behalf of the holders of the Securities of such series, to waive any past default in the performance of any of the covenants contained in the Indenture, or established pursuant to the Indenture with respect to such series, and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any of the Securities of such series, which default may be waived by the unanimous consent of the holders affected. Any such consent or waiver by the registered holder of this Security (unless revoked as provided in the Indenture) shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future holders and owners of this Security and of any Security issued in exchange herefor or in place hereof (whether by registration of transfer or otherwise), irrespective of whether or not any notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.
