ARTICLE I
DESCRIPTION OF 2009 CREDIT AGREEMENT SERIES BONDS.
SECTION 1. The Company hereby creates a new series of Bonds to be known as “2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds.” The 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds shall be executed, authenticated and delivered in accordance with the provisions of, and shall in all respects be subject to, all of the terms, conditions and covenants of the Indenture, as amended and supplemented. The 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds shall be issued only to and in the name of the Agent under the Credit Agreement to evidence and secure any and all Company Obligations under the Credit Agreement.
The 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds shall be dated as of the Interest Payment Date (as defined below) thereof to which interest was paid next preceding the date of issue, unless (a) issued on an Interest Payment Date thereof to which interest was paid, in which event it shall be dated as of such issue date, or (b) issued prior to the occurrence of the first Interest Payment Date thereof to which interest was paid, in which event it shall be dated the date of original issuance.
The 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds shall be issued in the aggregate principal amount of $350,000,000 and shall mature on the Commitment Termination Date (having at any time the meaning such term has at such time under the Credit Agreement) applicable to the Company.
The 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds shall bear interest from their date as set forth in the form thereof hereinafter recited. Interest on the 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date (defined below), commencing on the first Interest Payment Date next succeeding the date of the 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds. Payment of principal on the 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds shall be due on the
-5-
Commitment Termination Date. If the Commitment Termination Date falls on a day which is not a Business Day (as defined below), principal and any interest and/or fees payable by the Company with respect to the Commitment Termination Date will be paid on the next succeeding Business Day.
Both the principal of and the interest on the 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds shall be payable at the times and in the manner set forth in the form of bond set out herein and in immediately available funds at the office or agency of the Trustee, in any coin or currency of the United States of America which at the time of payment is legal tender for public and private debts.
The obligation of the Company to make payments with respect to principal under the Credit Agreement shall not give rise to an obligation to pay principal of the 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds except on the Commitment Termination Date of the Company or upon redemption as provided in this Supplemental Indenture. If at any time any permanent reduction of the Borrower Sublimit (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of the Company or the Borrower Credit Exposure (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of the Company shall result in the principal of the 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds being greater than the greater of the Borrower Sublimit and the Borrower Credit Exposure, a payment obligation with respect to the principal of the 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds in the amount of such excess shall be deemed discharged upon the effectiveness of such permanent reduction. No payment of principal under the Credit Agreement shall reduce the principal amount of the 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds to an amount less than the greater of the Borrower Sublimit and the Borrower Credit Exposure.
The obligation of the Company to make payments with respect to the interest on the 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds shall be fully or partially, as the case may be, satisfied and discharged to the extent that, at the time that any such payment shall be due, the then due interest and/or fees of the Company under the Credit Agreement shall have been fully or partially paid. Satisfaction of any obligation to the extent that payment is made with respect to the interest and/or fees of the Company under the Credit Agreement means that if any payment is made on the interest and/or fees of the Company under the Credit Agreement, a corresponding payment obligation with respect to the interest on the 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds shall be deemed discharged in the same amount as such payment made on the interest and/or fees of the Company under the Credit Agreement.
The Trustee may at any time and all times conclusively assume that the obligation of the Company to make payments with respect to the principal of and interest on the 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds, so far as such payments at the time have become due, has been fully satisfied and discharged pursuant to the foregoing paragraphs unless and until the Trustee shall have received a written notice from the Agent stating (a) that timely payment of principal of or interest on the 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds has not been made, (b) that the Company is in arrears as to the payments required to be made by it to the Agent in connection with the Company Obligations pursuant to the Credit Agreement, and (c) the amount of the arrearage.
-6-
As used herein, (A) “Business Day” shall have the meaning assigned thereto in the Credit Agreement; (B) “Interest Payment Date” shall mean each date on which Company Obligations constituting interest and/or fees are due and payable from time to time pursuant to the Credit Agreement; (C) “Interest Rate” shall mean a rate of interest per annum, adjusted as necessary, to result in an interest payment equal to the aggregate amount of Company Obligations constituting interest and fees of the Company due under the Credit Agreement on the applicable Interest Payment Date; and (D) “Record Date” with respect to any Interest Payment Date shall mean the day (whether or not a Business Day) immediately next preceding such Interest Payment Date.
The 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds shall not be assignable or transferable except to a successor Agent appointed in accordance with the Credit Agreement. The 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds are exchangeable by the Registered Owner thereof, in person or by attorney duly authorized, at the principal office or place of business of the Trustee under the Indenture, upon the surrender and cancellation of said bonds and the payment of any stamp tax or other governmental charge, and upon any such exchange a new registered bond or bonds without coupons, of the same series and maturity and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued in exchange theretofore;provided, that the Company shall not be required to exchange any 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds for a period of ten (10) days next preceding an Interest Payment Date with respect to such bonds.
As provided in Section 8.4 of the Credit Agreement, the Agent shall surrender the 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds to the Trustee for cancellation when each of the Borrower Sublimit and the Borrower Credit Exposure of the Company have been reduced to zero and all fees and other amounts payable by the Company pursuant to the Credit Agreement with respect to the Company Obligations shall have been duly paid.

The interest payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, subject to certain exceptions provided in the Supplemental Indenture dated as of June 15, 2009, hereinafter referred to, be paid to the person in whose name this Bond (or one or more predecessor bonds) is registered at the close of business on the Record Date (as defined below); provided, however, that interest payable on the Commitment Termination Date will be payable to the person to whom the principal hereof shall be payable. Should the Company default in the payment of interest (“Defaulted Interest”), the Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the person in whose name this Bond is registered on the Record Date to be established by the Trustee for payment of such Defaulted Interest.

Both the principal of and the interest on this Bond shall be payable in immediately available funds at the office or agency of the Trustee, in any coin or currency of the United States of America which at the time of payment is legal tender for public and private debts.
This Bond is to be issued and delivered to the Agent in order to evidence and secure the obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement to make payments to the Lenders under the Credit Agreement and to provide the Lenders the benefit of the lien of the Indenture with respect to the 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds.
-8-
The obligation of the Company to make payments with respect to principal under the Credit Agreement shall not give rise to an obligation to pay principal of the 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds except on the Commitment Termination Date of the Company or upon redemption hereof. If at any time any permanent reduction of the Borrower Sublimit (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of the Company or the Borrower Credit Exposure (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of the Company shall result in the principal of the 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds being greater than the greater of the Borrower Sublimit and the Borrower Credit Exposure, a payment obligation with respect to the principal of the 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds in the amount of such excess shall be deemed discharged upon the effectiveness of such permanent reduction. No payment of principal under the Credit Agreement shall reduce the principal amount of the 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds to an amount less than the greater of the Borrower Sublimit and the Borrower Credit Exposure.
The obligation of the Company to make payments with respect to the interest on this Bond shall be fully or partially, as the case may be, satisfied and discharged to the extent that, at the time that any such payment shall be due, the then due interest and/or fees of the Company under the Credit Agreement shall have been fully or partially paid. Satisfaction of any obligation to the extent that payment is made with respect to the interest and/or fees of the Company under the Credit Agreement means that if any payment is made on the interest and/or fees of the Company under the Credit Agreement, a corresponding payment obligation with respect to the interest on this Bond shall be deemed discharged in the same amount as such payment made on the interest and/or fees of the Company under the Credit Agreement.
The Trustee may at any time and all times conclusively assume that the obligation of the Company to make payments with respect to the principal of and interest on this Bond, so far as such payments at the time have become due, has been fully satisfied and discharged pursuant to the foregoing paragraphs unless and until the Trustee shall have received a written notice from the Agent stating (i) that timely payment of principal of or interest on this Bond has not been made, (ii) that the Company is in arrears as to the payments required to be made by it to the Agent in connection with the Company Obligations pursuant to the Credit Agreement, and (iii) the amount of the arrearage.
The Agent shall surrender this Bond to the Trustee when each of the Borrower Sublimit and the Borrower Credit Exposure of the Company have been reduced to zero and all fees and other amounts payable by the Company pursuant to the Credit Agreement with respect to the Company Obligations shall have been duly paid.
This Bond shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, or become valid or obligatory for any purpose, until the form of certificate endorsed hereon shall have been signed by or on behalf of The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., formerly BNY Midwest Trust Company, as successor trustee to Harris Trust and Savings Bank, the Trustee under the Indenture, or a successor trustee thereto under the Indenture (the “Trustee”).
