(i) (A) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed thereon discounted to the redemption date (assuming, in the case of the 2028 Notes, the 2033 Notes and the 2053 Notes, such Notes matured on the applicable Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points in the case of the 2025 Notes, 35 basis points in the case of the 2028 Notes, 45 basis points in the case of the 2033 Notes and 50 basis points in the case of the 2053 Notes less (B) interest accrued to the date of redemption, and

13

SECTION 3.3. Optional Redemption Provisions.

(a) The Company’s actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(b) Notice of any redemption may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent. If a redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, the redemption date may be delayed up to 10 business days at the Company’s election. If such conditions precedent are not satisfied within 10 business days after the proposed redemption date, such redemption shall not occur and the notice thereof shall be deemed rescinded. A notice of redemption need not set forth the exact redemption price but only the manner of calculation thereof.

(c) Notice of any redemption will be mailed or electronically delivered (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with the Depositary’s policies and procedures) to Holders at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed. At the Company’s written request, the Trustee shall give the Notice of any redemption in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense. The Company will provide notice of any redemption to the Trustee at least 5 business days prior to when notice is given to Holders.

(d) In the case of any partial redemption with respect to a series of Notes, selection of the Notes for redemption will be made, in the case of certificated Notes, pro rata, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion deems appropriate and fair, and in the case of Global Notes, in accordance with the policies and procedures of DTC of the applicable depositary. No Notes of a principal amount of $2,000 or less will be redeemed in part. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to the Note will state the portion of the principal amount of the Note to be redeemed. A new Note in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of such Note will be issued in the name of the Holder of such Note upon surrender for cancellation of the original Note.

(e) Unless the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price with respect to a series of Notes or any conditions precedent described in the notice of redemption are not satisfied and therefore the notice of redemption is deemed rescinded, on and after the redemption date interest will cease to accrue on the Notes of a series or portions thereof called for redemption.

(d) Delivery of any reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute notice, constructive or otherwise, of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the compliance by the Company with any of the Company’s covenants (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates). The Trustee shall not be obligated to monitor or confirm, on a continuing basis or otherwise, the Company’s compliance with the covenants or with respect to any reports or other documents filed with the SEC or website under the Indenture or participate in any conference calls.

15

(b) The Board of Directors of the Company may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company.

ARTICLE V

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

SECTION 5.1. Events of Default.

(a) Each of the following is an “Event of Default” with respect to the Notes:

(i) default in any payment of interest on any Note when due, continued for 30 days;

(ii) default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, on any Note when due at its Stated Maturity, upon redemption (including a Special Mandatory Redemption), upon acceleration or otherwise;

(iv) default under any mortgage, indenture or similar instrument under which there is issued or by which there is secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantor (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantor), other than Indebtedness owed to a Subsidiary, whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists or is created after the Issue Date, which default:

(1) is caused by a failure to pay principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on such Indebtedness prior to the expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness (“payment default”); or

(2) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its maturity; and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there is an outstanding uncured payment default or the maturity of which has been and remains so accelerated, aggregates in excess of $200.0 million;

(v) the Company, pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:

(1) commences a voluntary case or voluntary proceeding;

(1) is for relief in an involuntary case against the Company pursuant to or within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Law;

(2) appoints a Custodian for all or substantially all of the property of the Company, pursuant to or within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Law; or

(3) orders the winding up or liquidation of the Company, pursuant to or within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Law; and in the case of (1), (2) or (3), the order or decree remains unstayed or not dismissed and in effect for 60 days following the entry, issuance or effective date thereof; or

(vii) the Subsidiary Guarantee in respect of the Notes of that series ceases to be in full force and effect (except as contemplated by the terms of the Indenture) or is declared null and void in a judicial proceeding or the Subsidiary Guarantor denies or disaffirms its obligations under the Indenture or the Subsidiary Guarantee, in each case unless the Subsidiary Guarantee has been released pursuant to the terms of the Indenture.

SECTION 5.2. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

A Default under Section 5.1(a)(iii) will not constitute an Event of Default until the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of such series notify the Company in writing of the Default and the Company does not cure such Default within the time specified in Section 5.1(a)(iii) after receipt of such notice. Such notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that such notice is a “Notice of Default.”

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in Sections 5.1(a)(v) or (vi) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by written notice to the Company, or Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of such series by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may, and the Trustee at the request of Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of such series shall, declare the principal, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the Notes of such series to be due and payable. Such notice must specify the Event of Default and state that such notice is a “Notice of Acceleration.” Upon such a declaration, such principal, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest will be due and payable immediately. In the event of a declaration of acceleration of the Notes of any series because an Event of Default described in Section 5.1(a)(iv) has occurred and is continuing, the declaration of acceleration of such Notes shall be

17

automatically annulled if the Default triggering such Event of Default pursuant to Section 5.1(a)(iv) shall be remedied or cured by the Company or waived by the Holders of the relevant Indebtedness within 20 days after the written notice of declaration of acceleration of the Notes of such series with respect thereto is received by the Company and if (a) the annulment of the acceleration of the Notes of such series would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (b) all existing Events of Default, except nonpayment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes of such series that became due solely because of the acceleration of such Notes, have been cured or waived. If an Event of Default described in Section 5.1(a)(v) above occurs, the principal, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Notes will become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. Except in the case of a default in the payment of principal, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, any Note that is to be paid by the Trustee, as Paying Agent, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any default or event of default, unless a responsible trust officer of the Trustee shall have received written notice from the Company or a Holder describing such default or event of default, and stating that such notice is a notice of default or event of default.

At any time after a declaration of acceleration, but before a judgment or decree for the payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes of such series may by notice to the Trustee and the Company (including, without limitation, waivers and consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes) waive all past defaults (except with respect to nonpayment of principal, premium, if any, or interest) and rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Notes of such series and its consequences if (i) rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (ii) all existing Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes of such series that have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived.

An Event of Default with respect to one series of the Notes is not necessarily an Event of Default for another series.

SECTION 6.2. Defeasance.

The legal defeasance and covenant defeasance provisions in Sections 14.01 and 14.02 of the Base Indenture shall be applicable to the Notes of each series.

If the Company exercises its legal defeasance or its covenant defeasance option in respect of any series of Notes, the guarantees in respect of such Notes (if any are in effect at such time) will terminate.

SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEE

SECTION 8.1. Obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantor.

(a) The Subsidiary Guarantor fully and unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of the Notes, and to the Trustee on behalf of such Holder, the due and punctual payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on such Note when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity, by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, in accordance with the terms of such Note and of this Indenture. In case of the failure of the Company punctually to make any such payment, the Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees to cause such payment to be made punctually when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity or by acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, and as if such payment were made by the Company. The obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantor under the Subsidiary Guarantee will rank equally in right of payment with other Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor, except to the extent such other Indebtedness is expressly subordinated to the obligations arising under the Subsidiary Guarantee.

(b) The Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and shall be unaffected by, any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of such Note or this Indenture, any failure to enforce the provisions of such Note or this Indenture, or any waiver, modification or indulgence granted to the Company with respect thereto, by the Holder of such Note or the Trustee or any other circumstance that may otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, no such waiver, modification or indulgence shall, without the consent of the Subsidiary Guarantor, increase the principal amount of such Note, or increase the interest rate thereon, change any redemption provisions thereof (including any change to increase any premium payable upon redemption thereof) or change the Stated Maturity of any payment thereon.

(c) The Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives the benefits of diligence, presentment, demand for payment, any requirement that the Trustee or any of the Holders exhaust any right or take any action against the Company or any other Person, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest or notice with respect to any Note or the Indebtedness evidenced thereby and all demands whatsoever, and covenants that its obligations hereunder will not be discharged in respect of such Note except by complete

22

performance of the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantor contained in such Note and in this Indenture. The Subsidiary Guarantee hereunder shall constitute a guaranty of payment and not of collection. The Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that, in the event of a default in payment of principal, or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on such Note, whether at its Stated Maturity, by acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, legal proceedings may be instituted by the Trustee on behalf of, or by, the Holder of such Note, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Indenture, directly against the Subsidiary Guarantor to enforce the obligation of the Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder without first proceeding against the Company.

(d) The Subsidiary Guarantee of any Note shall remain in full force and effect and continue notwithstanding any petition filed by or against the Company for liquidation or reorganization, the Company becoming insolvent or making an assignment for the benefit of creditors or a receiver or trustee being appointed for all or any significant part of the Company’s assets, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment of such Note, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any Holder of such Note, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent transfer,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned on a Note, such Note shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed paid only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

SECTION 8.2. Limitations of the Subsidiary Guarantee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantee, the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantor under the Subsidiary Guarantee and this Indenture shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of the Subsidiary Guarantor, result in the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantor under the Subsidiary Guarantee and this Indenture not constituting a fraudulent preference, fraudulent advance, fraudulent transfer, or transfer at undervalue under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada), the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (Canada), any Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal, state, provincial, or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally.

SECTION 8.3. Release of the Subsidiary Guarantor. The Subsidiary Guarantor will be released and discharged automatically and unconditionally from all its obligations under the Indenture and the Subsidiary Guarantee and will cease to be the Subsidiary Guarantor, without any further action required on the part of the Trustee or any holder, (i) upon the release and discharge of the Subsidiary Guarantor’s guarantee of the Company’s 5.375% senior notes due 2026, whether because such debt securities have matured or have been redeemed or repurchased and cancelled, or otherwise, (ii) in connection with any covenant defeasance, legal defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the Notes pursuant to Section 6.2 of this Supplemental Indenture, (iii) if no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, upon the liquidation or dissolution of the Subsidiary Guarantor or (iv) in the event the Subsidiary Guarantor is sold or disposed of (whether by merger, amalgamation, consolidation, the sale of a sufficient amount of its (or an intermediate holding company’s) Capital Stock so that the Subsidiary Guarantor no longer constitutes a “Subsidiary” of the Company or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets (other than by lease)), and whether or not the Subsidiary Guarantor is the surviving entity in such transaction, to a Person that is not (and does not thereupon become) the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company.

Upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that any of the conditions precedent in the Indenture and as described above has occurred, and that this Supplemental Indenture and the release of the Subsidiary Guarantor is authorized or permitted by the terms of the Indenture and the Notes, the Trustee shall execute any supplemental indenture or other documents reasonably requested by the Company in order to evidence the release of the Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Subsidiary Guarantee and the Indenture at the Company’s sole expense.

23

SECTION 8.4. Guarantee Evidenced by Indenture; No Notation of Guarantee.

(a) The Subsidiary Guarantee shall be evidenced solely by its execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture and not by an endorsement on, or attachment to, any Note or any guarantee or notation thereof.

(b) The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Subsidiary Guarantee as to the Notes set forth in this Supplemental Indenture on behalf of the Subsidiary Guarantor.

Each Holder of the 2025 Notes by accepting a 2025 Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the 2025 Notes.

The Initial 2053 Notes and the Additional 2053 Notes shall be considered collectively as a single series of Securities for all purposes of the Indenture.

(a) Prior to January 15, 2053 (the “2053 Notes Par Call Date”), the Company may redeem the 2053 Notes at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a Redemption Price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of (1) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the 2053 Notes to be redeemed discounted to the Redemption Date (assuming the 2053 Notes matured on the 2053 Notes Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points less (b) interest accrued to the Redemption Date, and (2) 100% of the principal amount of the 2053 Notes to be redeemed, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

(b) On or after the Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the 2053 Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2053 Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

The 2053 Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder may transfer or exchange 2053 Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Security Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents. No service charge will be imposed by the Company, the Trustee or the Security Registrar for any registration of transfer or exchange of the 2053 Notes, but the Company may require a Holder to pay a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or other governmental taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Company is not required to transfer or exchange any 2053 Note selected for redemption or any 2053 Note for a period of 15 days before a selection of the 2053 Notes to be redeemed.

After any such payment, Holders entitled to the money must look only to the Company and not to the Trustee or the Paying Agent for payment.

Subject to certain conditions set forth in the Indenture, the Company at any time may terminate some or all of its obligations under the 2053 Notes and the Indenture if the Company deposits with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the 2053 Notes to Stated Maturity or a specified redemption date.

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the rights and obligations of the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantor, the Trustee and the Holders shall be as set forth in the applicable provisions of the Indenture.

Subject to certain limitations set forth in the Indenture, the Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Security Registrar or any other agent of the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantor, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of the 2053 Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantor with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Security Registrar or such other agent.

No past, present or future director, officer, employee, manager, member, partner, incorporator or stockholder of the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantor, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantor, respectively, under the 2053 Notes or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation.
