On March 30, 2020, State Street Corporation (“State Street”) completed its previously announced private offering of $750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 2.825% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2023 (the “2023 Notes”), $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 2.901% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) and $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.152% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2031 (the “2031 Notes”) and, together with the 2023 Notes and the 2026 Notes, the “Notes”). The Notes were sold under a purchase agreement, dated as of March 26, 2020, entered into by and among State Street and each of Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, BofA Securities, Inc. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as representatives of the several initial purchasers named therein (collectively, the “Initial Purchasers”), for resale to in the United States to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and outside the United States to non-U.S. persons in offshore transactions in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act.
State Street expects to receive net proceeds from the offering of the Notes of approximately $1.74 billion after deducting estimated expenses and the Initial Purchasers’ discounts.
On March 30, 2020, State Street entered into a supplemental indenture with respect to the Notes with U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Second Supplemental Indenture”). The Notes are unsecured obligations of State Street and will rank equally with all other existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness of State Street. Additionally, the Notes are structurally subordinated to the indebtedness and other liabilities of State Street’s subsidiaries.
2023 Notes. The 2023 Notes will mature on March 30, 2023. Interest on the 2023 Notes during the fixed rate period will be payable semiannually in arrears on March 30 and September 30, commencing on September 30, 2020. From March 30, 2022 and until the maturity date, the 2023 Notes will bear interest at a floating rate based on the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) plus a margin of 2.69% payable quarterly in arrears.
2026 Notes. The 2026 Notes will mature on March 30, 2026. Interest on the 2026 Notes during the fixed rate period will be payable semiannually in arrears on March 30 and September 30, commencing on September 30, 2020. From March 30, 2025 and until the maturity date, the 2026 Notes will bear interest at a floating rate based on SOFR plus a margin of 2.60% payable quarterly in arrears.
2031 Notes. The 2031 Notes will mature on March 30, 2031. Interest on the 2031 Notes during the fixed rate period will be payable semiannually in arrears on March 30 and September 30, commencing on September 30, 2020. From March 30, 2030 and until the maturity date, the 2031 Notes will bear interest at a floating rate based on SOFR plus a margin of 2.65% payable quarterly in arrears.
We will have the option to redeem the Notes in whole, but not in part, on, and only on, March 30, 2022, in the case of the 2023 Notes, March 30, 2025, in the case of the 2026 Notes and March 30, 2030, in the case of the 2031 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount





of the notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date.
The foregoing summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Second Supplemental Indenture, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 4.1 and is incorporated herein by reference, and the Form of Fixed-to-Floating Rate Senior Note, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 4.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Registration Rights Agreement
On March 30, 2020, State Street and the Initial Purchasers, entered into a registration rights agreement with respect to the Notes (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). State Street agreed under the Registration Rights Agreement to use its reasonable best efforts to (i) file a registration statement with respect to a registered exchange offer to exchange the notes for new notes with terms substantially identical to the Notes, (ii) cause the registration statement to be declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and (iii) to consummate the exchange offer on or before the 366th day after March 30, 2020, the settlement date of the Notes.
If State Street fails to satisfy its registration obligations with respect to any series of Notes (a “registration default”) under the Registration Rights Agreement, additional interest will accrue on the aggregate principal amount of the applicable series of Notes at a rate of 0.25% for the first 90 day period after the date of such registration default and increased by an additional 0.25% for each subsequent 90 day period thereafter, up to a maximum additional interest rate of 0.50% per annum over the interest rate otherwise then applicable for the respective Notes.

The foregoing description of the Registration Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Registration Rights Agreement. A copy of the Registration Rights Agreement is filed herewith as Exhibit 4.3 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Interest p ayment p eriods d uring t he F loating R ate P eriod for th is S ecurity will b e, with respect t o each Floating Rate Interest Payment Date, the period from and including the most recent interest payment period end date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for (or from and including in the case of the first interest payment period during the Floating Rate Period) to, but excluding, the immediately preceding Floating Rate Period End Date; provided that (i) the interest payment period with respect to the Maturity Date will be the period from and including the Floating Rate Period End Date immediately prior to the Maturity Date to, but excluding, the Maturity Date (i.e., the final Floating Rate Period End Date) and (ii) with respect to such final interest payment period, the level o f S OFR for each ca lendar d ay i n t he period f rom, and i ncluding, t he second U.S. G overnment S ecurities Business Day prior to the Maturity Date (the “Rate Cut-Off Date”) to, but excluding, the Maturity Date shall be the level of SOFR in respect of such Rate Cut-Off Date. Interest on this Security during the Floating Rate Period will be computed on t he ba sis o f a 360 -day year f or t he act ual number o f d ays el apsed. For in terest p eriods during t he Floating Rate P eriod, the i nterest r ate ap plicable t o a n interest p ayment p eriod, which i nterest r ate will b e determined by the calculation agent following the applicable Floating Rate Period End Date (or, in the case of the final Floating Rate Period End Date (i.e., the Maturity Date), following the Rate Cut-off Date), will equal the Base Rate, calculated as described below, plus a s pread of %; provided that in no event will the interest payable in respect of any interest payment period be less than zero. The “ Base R ate” s hall b e an accr ued i nterest co mpounding factor cal culated i n acco rdance with t he following formula: �������� 360 1 + 1 360 �������������������� ���� �������� �� � � − � ���� ���� where (i) “d0” refers, for any floating����=1 rate interest payment period, to the number of U.S. Government Securities Business Days in the relevant floating rate interest payment period, (ii) “i” refers to a series of whole numbers from one to d0, each representing the relevant U.S. Government Securities Business Days in chronological order from, and including, the first U.S. Government Securities Business Day in the relevant floating rate interest payment period, (iii) “SOFRi”, for any day “i” in the relevant floating rate interest payment period, refers to a reference rate equal to SOFR in respect of that day, (iv) “ni” refers to the number of calendar days in the relevant floating rate interest payment period on which the rate is SOFRi and (v) “d” refers to the number of calendar days in the relevant floating rate interest payment period. For these calculations, the interest rate in effect on any U.S. Government Securities Business Day will be the applicable rate as reset on that date. The interest rate applicable to any other day is the interest rate from the immediately preceding U.S. Government Securities Business Day. For purposes of this Security, “SOFR”, with respect to any U.S. Government Securities Business Day, means the rate determined by the calculation agent in accordance with the following provisions:


 
1. the Secured Overnight Financing Rate in respect of such U.S. Government Securities Business Day as provided by the New York Federal Reserve, as the administrator of such rate (or a successor administrator) on the New York Federal Reserve’s Website on or about 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the U.S. Government Securities Business Day immediately following such U.S. Government Securities Business Day; or 2. if the Secured Overnight Financing Rate in respect of such U.S. Government Securities Business Day does not appear as specified in paragraph (a), unless the Company or its designee has determined that both a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred, the Secured Overnight Financing Rate in respect of the last U.S. Government Securities Business Day for which such rate was published on the New York Federal Reserve’s Website; or 3. if the Company or its designee has determined that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred: a. the sum of: (i) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor and (ii) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; or b. the sum of: (i) the ISDA Fallback Rate and (ii) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; or c. the sum of: (i) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected by the Company or its designee as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to any industry- accepted rate of interest as a replacement for the then-current Benchmark for U.S. dollar-denominated floating rate notes at such time and (ii) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment. As used in this Security: 1. “Benchmark” means the Secured Overnight Financing Rate compounded on a daily basis; provided that if the Company or its designee has determined that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate or the then-current Benchmark, then “Benchmark” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement. 2. “Benchmark Replacement” means the first alternative set forth in the order presented in clause (3) of the definition of “SOFR” that can be determined by the Company or its designee as of the Benchmark Replacement Date. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Company or its designee will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time. 3. “Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” means the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Company or its designee as of the Benchmark Replacement Date: a. the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body for the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement; b. if the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement is equivalent to the ISDA Fallback Rate, then the ISDA Fallback Adjustment; c. the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Company or its designee giving due consideration to any industry-accepted spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of the then-current Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for U.S. dollar-denominated floating rate notes at such time. 4. “Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition of


 
“floating rate interest payment period,” timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest and other administrative matters) that the Company or its designee decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption of such Benchmark Replacement in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Company or its designee decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Company or its designee determine that no market practice for use of the Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner as the Company or its designee determines is reasonably necessary). 5. “Benchmark Replacement Date” means the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark: a. in the case of clause (a) or (b) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the later of (i) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (ii) the date on which the administrator of the Benchmark permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide the Benchmark; or b. in the case of clause (c) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein. For the avoidance of doubt, if the event giving rise to the Benchmark Replacement Date occurs on the same day as, but earlier than, the Reference Time in respect of any determination, the Benchmark Replacement Date will be deemed to have occurred prior to the Reference Time for such determination. 6. “Benchmark Transition Event” means the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark: a. a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of the Benchmark announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide the Benchmark, permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide the Benchmark; b. a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the Benchmark, the central bank for the currency of the Benchmark, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for the Benchmark, a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for the Benchmark or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for the Benchmark, which states that the administrator of the Benchmark has ceased or will cease to provide the Benchmark permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide the Benchmark; or c. a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the Benchmark announcing that the Benchmark is no longer representative. 7. “Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law or regulation to close in The City of New York or The City of Boston. 8. “Corresponding Tenor” with respect to a Benchmark Replacement means a tenor (including overnight) having approximately the same length (disregarding business day adjustment) as the applicable tenor for the then-current Benchmark. 9. “Floating Rate Interest Payment Date” means the second Business Day following each Floating Rate Period End Date; provided, that the Floating Rate Interest Payment Date with respect to the final interest payment period will be the Maturity Date. If the scheduled Maturity Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment of principal and interest will be made on the next succeeding Business Day, but interest on that payment will not accrue during the period from and after the scheduled Maturity Date.


 
10. “ISDA Definitions” means the 2006 ISDA Definitions published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. or any successor thereto, as amended or supplemented from time to time, or any successor definitional booklet for interest rate derivatives published from time to time. 11. “ISDA Fallback Adjustment” means the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that would apply for derivatives transactions referencing the ISDA Definitions to be determined upon the occurrence of an index cessation event with respect to the Benchmark for the applicable tenor. 12. “ISDA Fallback Rate” means the rate that would apply for derivatives transactions referencing the ISDA Definitions to be effective upon the occurrence of an index cessation date with respect to the Benchmark for the applicable tenor excluding the applicable ISDA Fallback Adjustment. 13. “New York Federal Reserve” means the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. 14. “New York Federal Reserve’s Website” means the website of the New York Federal Reserve, currently at http://www.newyorkfed.org, or any successor source. 15. “Reference Time” with respect to any determination of the Benchmark means the time determined by the Company or its designee in accordance with the Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. 16. “Relevant Governmental Body” means the Federal Reserve Board and/or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or a committee officially endorsed or convened by the Federal Reserve Board and/or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or any successor thereto. 17. “U.S. Government Securities Business Day” means any day except for a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association recommends that the fixed income departments of its members be closed for the entire day for purposes of trading in U.S. government securities. 18. “Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement” means the Benchmark Replacement excluding the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment. If the Company or its designee has determined that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred, any determination, decision or election made by the Company or its designee with respect to the determination of SOFR (i) will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error; (ii) will be made in the Company’s or its designee’s sole discretion; and (iii) notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, shall become effective without consent from the Holders or any other party. In case an acceleration of the maturity of the Securities shall have occurred and be continuing as a result of an Event of Default, the amount declared due and payable for the Securities (the “Stated Principal Amount”) upon any acceleration of the Securities shall be determined by State Street Bank and Trust Company (the “Bank”), or, if the Company has appointed a designee, after consultation with the Bank, by such designee, in its capacity as the calculation agent, and shall be an amount in cash equal to the Stated Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon calculated as if the date of such acceleration were the Maturity Date, final Floating Rate Period End Date (if applicable) and final Floating Rate Interest Payment Date. The calculation agent shall be the Bank, an affiliate thereof or a bank or other entity as the Company may appoint. The Company may appoint a different institution to serve as calculation agent from time to time after the original i ssue d ate o f t his S ecurity without t he c onsent of Holders o f t his Security and without no tice. T he calculation agent’s determination of any interest rate, and its calculation of the amount of interest for any interest period, will be on file at the Company’s principal offices, will be made available to any noteholder upon request and will be final and binding in the absence of manifest error. All percentages used in or resulting from any calculation of the interest rate on this Security during the Floating Rate Period will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with five o ne-millionths o f a p ercentage p oint r ounded upwards ( e.g., 9. 876545% ( or . 09876545) be ing r ounded t o


 
9.87655% (or .0987655)), and all U.S. dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculations will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upwards). The i nterest r ate o n t his S ecurity during t he Floating Rate P eriod will i n no e vent b e hi gher t han t he maximum r ate p ermitted b y N ew Y ork l aw a s t he s ame may b e modified b y U nited S tates l aw o f general application.

The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be the and , whether or not a Business Day, next preceding such Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Floating Rate Interest Payment Date, other than on the Maturity Date, will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be the second Business Day next preceding such Floating Rate Interest Payment Date. Interest paid on the Maturity Date shall be paid to the Person to whom the principal will be payable. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for on such Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date or Floating Rate Interest Payment Date shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities of this series not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture. 1


 
Payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and any such interest on this Security will be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in the City of Boston, Massachusetts, 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; provided, that for so long as this Security is a Global Security, payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and any interest on this Security will be made by the Paying Agent by wire transfer in immediately available funds in U.S. dollars at the office of the Paying Agent; provided further, that, in the case of payments made at maturity of such Global Security, the Global Security is presented to the Paying Agent in time for the Paying Agent to make such payments in accordance with its normal procedures. Interest on this Security during the Fixed Rate Period shall be paid on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. If a Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date for this Security falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the Company shall postpone the interest payment to the next succeeding Business Day, but the payments made on such dates shall be treated as being made on the date that the payment was first due, and Holders of Securities of this series shall not be entitled to any further interest or other payments with respect to such postponement. Interest payment periods during the Floating Rate Period for this Security will be, with respect to each Floating Rate Interest Payment Date, the period from and including the most recent interest payment period end date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for (or from and including in the case of the first interest payment period during the Floating Rate Period) to, but excluding, the immediately preceding Floating Rate Period End Date; provided that (i) the interest payment period with respect to the Maturity Date will be the period from and including the Floating Rate Period End Date immediately prior to the Maturity Date to, but excluding, the Maturity Date (i.e., the final Floating Rate Period End Date) and (ii) with respect to such final interest payment period, the level of SOFR for each calendar day in the period from, and including, the second U.S. Government Securities Business Day prior to the Maturity Date (the “Rate Cut-Off Date”) to, but excluding, the Maturity Date shall be the level of SOFR in respect of such Rate Cut-Off Date. Interest on this Security during the Floating Rate Period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed. For interest periods during the Floating Rate Period, the interest rate applicable to an interest payment period, which interest rate will be determined by the calculation agent following the applicable Floating Rate Period End Date (or, in the case of the final Floating Rate Period End Date (i.e., the Maturity Date), following the Rate Cut-off Date), will equal the Base Rate, calculated as described below, plus a spread of %; provided that in no event will the interest payable in respect of any interest payment period be less than zero. The “Base Rate” shall be an accrued interest compounding factor calculated in accordance with the following formula: �������� 360 1 + 1 360 �������������������� ���� �������� �� � � − � ���� ���� where (i) “d0” refers, for any floating����= 1rate interest payment period, to the number of U.S. Government Securities Business Days in the relevant floating rate interest payment period, (ii) “i” refers to a series of whole numbers from one to d0, each representing the relevant U.S. Government Securities Business Days in chronological order from, and including, the first U.S. Government Securities Business Day in the relevant floating rate interest payment period, (iii) “SOFRi”, for any day “i” in the relevant floating rate interest payment period, refers to a reference rate equal to SOFR in respect of that day, (iv) “ni” refers to the number of calendar days in the relevant floating rate interest payment period on which the rate is SOFRi and (v) “d” refers to the number of calendar days in the relevant floating rate interest payment period. For these calculations, the interest rate in effect on any U.S. Government Securities Business Day will be the applicable rate as reset on that date. The interest rate applicable to any other day is the interest rate from the immediately preceding U.S. Government Securities Business Day. For purposes of this Security, “SOFR”, with respect to any U.S. Government Securities Business Day, means the rate determined by the calculation agent in accordance with the following provisions:


 
1. the Secured Overnight Financing Rate in respect of such U.S. Government Securities Business Day as provided by the New York Federal Reserve, as the administrator of such rate (or a successor administrator) on the New York Federal Reserve’s Website on or about 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the U.S. Government Securities Business Day immediately following such U.S. Government Securities Business Day; or 2. if the Secured Overnight Financing Rate in respect of such U.S. Government Securities Business Day does not appear as specified in paragraph (a), unless the Company or its designee has determined that both a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred, the Secured Overnight Financing Rate in respect of the last U.S. Government Securities Business Day for which such rate was published on the New York Federal Reserve’s Website; or 3. if the Company or its designee has determined that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred: a. the sum of: (i) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor and (ii) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; or b. the sum of: (i) the ISDA Fallback Rate and (ii) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; or c. the sum of: (i) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected by the Company or its designee as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to any industry- accepted rate of interest as a replacement for the then-current Benchmark for U.S. dollar-denominated floating rate notes at such time and (ii) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment. As used in this Security: 1. “Benchmark” means the Secured Overnight Financing Rate compounded on a daily basis; provided that if the Company or its designee has determined that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate or the then-current Benchmark, then “Benchmark” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement. 2. “Benchmark Replacement” means the first alternative set forth in the order presented in clause (3) of the definition of “SOFR” that can be determined by the Company or its designee as of the Benchmark Replacement Date. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Company or its designee will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time. 3. “Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” means the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Company or its designee as of the Benchmark Replacement Date: a. the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body for the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement; b. if the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement is equivalent to the ISDA Fallback Rate, then the ISDA Fallback Adjustment; c. the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Company or its designee giving due consideration to any industry-accepted spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of the then-current Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for U.S. dollar-denominated floating rate notes at such time. 4. “Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition of


 
“floating rate interest payment period,” timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest and other administrative matters) that the Company or its designee decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption of such Benchmark Replacement in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Company or its designee decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Company or its designee determine that no market practice for use of the Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner as the Company or its designee determines is reasonably necessary). 5. “Benchmark Replacement Date” means the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark: a. in the case of clause (a) or (b) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the later of (i) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (ii) the date on which the administrator of the Benchmark permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide the Benchmark; or b. in the case of clause (c) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein. For the avoidance of doubt, if the event giving rise to the Benchmark Replacement Date occurs on the same day as, but earlier than, the Reference Time in respect of any determination, the Benchmark Replacement Date will be deemed to have occurred prior to the Reference Time for such determination. 6. “Benchmark Transition Event” means the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark: a. a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of the Benchmark announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide the Benchmark, permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide the Benchmark; b. a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the Benchmark, the central bank for the currency of the Benchmark, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for the Benchmark, a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for the Benchmark or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for the Benchmark, which states that the administrator of the Benchmark has ceased or will cease to provide the Benchmark permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide the Benchmark; or c. a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the Benchmark announcing that the Benchmark is no longer representative. 7. “Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law or regulation to close in The City of New York or The City of Boston. 8. “Corresponding Tenor” with respect to a Benchmark Replacement means a tenor (including overnight) having approximately the same length (disregarding business day adjustment) as the applicable tenor for the then-current Benchmark. 9. “Floating Rate Interest Payment Date” means the second Business Day following each Floating Rate Period End Date; provided, that the Floating Rate Interest Payment Date with respect to the final interest payment period will be the Maturity Date. If the scheduled Maturity Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment of principal and interest will be made on the next succeeding Business Day, but interest on that payment will not accrue during the period from and after the scheduled Maturity Date.


 
10. “ISDA Definitions” means the 2006 ISDA Definitions published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. or any successor thereto, as amended or supplemented from time to time, or any successor definitional booklet for interest rate derivatives published from time to time. 11. “ISDA Fallback Adjustment” means the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that would apply for derivatives transactions referencing the ISDA Definitions to be determined upon the occurrence of an index cessation event with respect to the Benchmark for the applicable tenor. 12. “ISDA Fallback Rate” means the rate that would apply for derivatives transactions referencing the ISDA Definitions to be effective upon the occurrence of an index cessation date with respect to the Benchmark for the applicable tenor excluding the applicable ISDA Fallback Adjustment. 13. “New York Federal Reserve” means the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. 14. “New York Federal Reserve’s Website” means the website of the New York Federal Reserve, currently at http://www.newyorkfed.org, or any successor source. 15. “Reference Time” with respect to any determination of the Benchmark means the time determined by the Company or its designee in accordance with the Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. 16. “Relevant Governmental Body” means the Federal Reserve Board and/or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or a committee officially endorsed or convened by the Federal Reserve Board and/or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or any successor thereto. 17. “U.S. Government Securities Business Day” means any day except for a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association recommends that the fixed income departments of its members be closed for the entire day for purposes of trading in U.S. government securities. 18. “Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement” means the Benchmark Replacement excluding the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment. If the Company or its designee has determined that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred, any determination, decision or election made by the Company or its designee with respect to the determination of SOFR (i) will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error; (ii) will be made in the Company’s or its designee’s sole discretion; and (iii) notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, shall become effective without consent from the Holders or any other party. In case an acceleration of the maturity of the Securities shall have occurred and be continuing as a result of an Event of Default, the amount declared due and payable for the Securities (the “Stated Principal Amount”) upon any acceleration of the Securities shall be determined by State Street Bank and Trust Company (the “Bank”), or, if the Company has appointed a designee, after consultation with the Bank, by such designee, in its capacity as the calculation agent, and shall be an amount in cash equal to the Stated Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon calculated as if the date of such acceleration were the Maturity Date, final Floating Rate Period End Date (if applicable) and final Floating Rate Interest Payment Date. The calculation agent shall be the Bank, an affiliate thereof or a bank or other entity as the Company may appoint. The Company may appoint a different institution to serve as calculation agent from time to time after the original issue date of this Security without the consent of Holders of this Security and without notice. The calculation agent’s determination of any interest rate, and its calculation of the amount of interest for any interest period, will be on file at the Company’s principal offices, will be made available to any noteholder upon request and will be final and binding in the absence of manifest error. All percentages used in or resulting from any calculation of the interest rate on this Security during the Floating Rate Period will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upwards (e.g., 9.876545% (or .09876545) being rounded to


 
9.87655% (or .0987655)), and all U.S. dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculations will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upwards). The interest rate on this Security during the Floating Rate Period will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law as the same may be modified by United States law of general application. Upon the occurrence, if any, of the events set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined in the Indenture), the Company shall pay additional interest on this Security, which shall accrue at a rate of 0.25% for the first 90-day period after the date of such event and increased by an additional 0.25% for each subsequent 90-day period thereafter, up to a maximum additional interest rate of 0.50% per annum over the interest rate otherwise then applicable for this security, as set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement (“Additional Interest”). The Company shall pay all Additional Interest, if any, on the applicable interest payment date described herein in the same manner as interest is paid on this Security. Unless context otherwise requires, for the avoidance of doubt any references to “interest” with respect to this Security herein shall include any Additional Interest that may be payable pursuant to this paragraph. This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of October 31, 2014 (herein called the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), as supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of May 8, 2017 (the “First Supplemental Indenture”) and a Second Supplemental indenture, dated as of March 30, 2020, in each case between the Company and the Trustee (the “Second Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the First Supplemental Indenture and the Base Indenture, herein called the “Indenture”), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee, and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.

The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

such Holder using the Exchange Offer to participate in a distribution of the securities to be acquired in the Exchange Offer (1) could not under SEC policy as in effect on the date of this Agreement rely on the position of the SEC enunciated in Morgan Stanley and Co., Inc.

receives a written request (a “Shelf Request”) from any Initial Purchaser representing that it holds Registrable Securities that are or were ineligible to be exchanged in the Exchange Offer, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause to be filed, as soon as practicable after the date of such determination, Holder Notice or Shelf Request, as the case may be, a Shelf Registration Statement providing for the sale of all the Registrable Securities by the Holders thereof and to have such Shelf Registration Statement become effective. In the event that the Company is required to file a Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to clause (iii) or (iv) of the preceding sentence, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause to be filed and become effective both an Exchange Offer Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof with respect to all Registrable Securities and a Shelf Registration Statement (which may be a combined Registration Statement with the Exchange Offer Registration Statement) with respect to offers and sales of Registrable Securities held by the Initial Purchasers, if any, after completion of the Exchange Offer. The Company agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective for a period of one year from the effective date of such Shelf Registration Statement or such shorter period that will terminate when all of the Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement cease to be Registrable Securities (the “Shelf Effectiveness Period”). The Company further agrees to supplement or amend the Shelf Registration Statement, the related Prospectus and any Free Writing Prospectus if required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used by the Company for such Shelf Registration Statement or by the Securities Act or by any other rules and regulations thereunder or if reasonably requested by a Holder of Registrable Securities with respect to information relating to such Holder, and to use its reasonable best efforts to cause any such amendment to become effective, if required, and such Shelf Registration Statement, Prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus, as the case may be, to become usable as soon as thereafter practicable. The Company agrees to furnish to the Holders of Registrable Securities registered on such Shelf Registration Statement copies of any such supplement or amendment promptly after its being used or filed with the SEC. (c) The Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any registration pursuant to Section 2(a) or Section 2(b) hereof. Each Holder shall pay all underwriting discounts and commissions, brokerage commissions and transfer taxes, if any, relating to the sale or disposition of such Holder’s Registrable Securities pursuant to any Shelf Registration Statement. (d) An Exchange Offer Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof will not be deemed to have become effective unless it has been declared effective by the SEC. A Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof will not be deemed to have become effective unless it has been declared effective by the SEC or is automatically effective upon filing with the SEC as provided by Rule 462 under the Securities Act. -8-


 
In the event that either the Exchange Offer is not completed by the Target Registration Date or the Shelf Registration Statement, if required pursuant to Sections 2(b)(i) or 2(b)(iii) hereof, is not effective by the Target Registration Date, the interest rate on the Registrable Securities will be increased by (i) 0.25% per annum for the first 90- day period immediately following such date and (ii) an additional 0.25% per annum with respect to each subsequent 90-day period, in each case until the Exchange Offer is completed or the Shelf Registration Statement, if required hereby, becomes effective, up to a maximum total increase of 0.50% per annum. In the event that the Company receives a Holder Notice or Shelf Request pursuant to Sections 2(b)(ii) or 2(b)(iv) hereof, and the Shelf Registration Statement required to be filed thereby has not become effective by the later of (x) the Target Registration Date or (y) 90 days after delivery of such Holder Notice or Shelf Request (such later date, the “Shelf Additional Interest Date”), then the interest rate on the Registrable Securities will be increased by (i) 0.25% per annum for the first 90-day period payable commencing from one day after the Shelf Additional Interest Date and (ii) an additional 0.25% per annum with respect to each subsequent 90- day period, in each case until the Shelf Registration Statement becomes effective, up to a maximum total increase of 0.50% per annum. If the Shelf Registration Statement, if required hereby, is effective and thereafter either ceases to be effective or the Prospectus contained therein ceases to be usable, in each case whether or not permitted by this Agreement, at any time during the Shelf Effectiveness Period, and such failure to remain effective or usable exists for more than 60 days (whether or not consecutive) in any 12-month period (the 60th such date, the “Trigger Date”), then the interest rate on the Registrable Securities will be increased by (i) 0.25% per annum for the first 90-day period immediately following the Trigger Date and (ii) an additional 0.25% per annum with respect to each subsequent 90-day period, up to a maximum increase of 0.50% per annum, and ending on such date that the Shelf Registration Statement is again effective or the Prospectus again becomes usable. Any additional interest payable by the Company due to the increases in annual interest rate described in this Agreement will be paid in accordance with and pursuant to the terms of the Indenture. The additional interest referenced in this Section 2(d) shall be the sole remedy of any Holder (other than a Participating Broker-Dealer) with respect to any Exchange Offer Registration and Shelf Registration and related matters provided for in this Agreement. 3.

(c) In the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, each Holder of Registrable Securities covered in such Shelf Registration Statement agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Sections 3(a)(vi)(3) or 3(a)(vi)(5) hereof, such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus and any Free Writing Prospectus contemplated by Section 3(a)(x) hereof and, if so directed by the Company, such Holder will deliver to the Company (at its expense) all copies in its possession, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the Prospectus and any Free Writing Prospectus covering such Registrable Securities that is current at the time of receipt of such notice. (d) If the Company shall give any notice to suspend the disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement, the Company shall extend the period during which such Registration Statement shall be maintained effective pursuant to this Agreement by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice to and including the date when the Holders of such Registrable Securities shall have received copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus or any Free Writing Prospectus necessary to resume such dispositions. The Company may give any such notice only twice during any 365-day period, any such suspensions shall not exceed 60 days for each suspension and there shall not be more than two suspensions in effect during any 365-day period. (e) The Holders of Registrable Securities covered by a Shelf Registration Statement who desire to do so may sell such Registrable Securities in an Underwritten Offering. In any such Underwritten Offering, the investment bank or investment banks and manager or managers (each an “Underwriter”) that will administer the offering will be selected by the Company (provided the lead Underwriter shall also be reasonably acceptable to Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Registrable Securities included in such offering). However, in the event of an Underwritten Offering, each Holder agrees that, neither such Holder nor any Underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to any Registration Statement on such Holder’s behalf, will make any offer relating to the Registrable Securities that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (as defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act) or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405 under the -15-


 
Securities Act) required to be filed by the Company with the SEC or retained by the Company under Rule 433 of the Securities Act, unless it has obtained the prior written consent of the Company. 4. Participation of Broker-Dealers in Exchange Offer. (a) The Company has been advised that the Staff has taken the position that any broker-dealer that receives Exchange Securities for its own account in the Exchange Offer in exchange for Securities that were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making or other trading activities (a “Participating Broker-Dealer”) may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and must deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities. The Company has been advised that it is the Staff’s position that if the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement includes a plan of distribution containing a statement to the above effect and the means by which Participating Broker- Dealers may resell the Exchange Securities, without naming the Participating Broker- Dealers or specifying the amount of Exchange Securities owned by them, such Prospectus may be delivered by Participating Broker-Dealers (or, to the extent permitted by law, made available to purchasers) to satisfy their prospectus delivery obligation under the Securities Act in connection with resales of Exchange Securities for their own accounts, so long as the Prospectus otherwise meets the requirements of the Securities Act. (b) In light of the above, and notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement, the Company agrees, if so requested by one or more Holders who is a Participating Broker-Dealer, to use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to be amended or supplemented for a period ending on the earlier of (i) 180 days after the date the Exchange Offer Registration Statement becomes effective (as such period may be extended pursuant to Section 3(d) hereof) and (ii) the date on which each Participating Broker-Dealer is no longer required to deliver a prospectus in connection with market making or other trading activities, in each case to the extent necessary to ensure that the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is available for resale of the Registrable Securities acquired by the Participating Broker-Dealers. The Company further consents to the delivery of (or, to the extent permitted by law, agree to make available) such Prospectus by Participating Broker-Dealers during such period in connection with the resales contemplated by this Section 4. (c) The Initial Purchasers shall have no liability to the Company or any Holder with respect to any request that a Holder may make pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof. 5. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser, each Holder, their respective affiliates, directors and officers and each Person, if any, -16-


 
who controls any Initial Purchaser or any Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with any suit, action or proceeding or any claim asserted, as such fees and expenses are incurred), joint or several, that arise out of, or are based upon, (1) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, or (2) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Prospectus, or in any amendment thereof or any supplement thereto, any Free Writing Prospectus or any “issuer information” (“Issuer Information”) filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to any Initial Purchaser or information relating to any Holder furnished to the Company in writing by or on behalf of such parties expressly for use therein. In connection with any Underwritten Offering permitted by Section 3 hereof, the Company agrees to also indemnify the Underwriters, if any, their respective affiliates and each Person who controls such Persons (within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Holders, if requested in connection with any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, any Free Writing Prospectus or any Issuer Information. (b) Each Holder agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its affiliates, directors and officers, and the Initial Purchasers and the other selling Holders and each Person, if any, who controls the Company, any Initial Purchaser and any other selling Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in paragraph (a) above, but only with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (including without limitation, legal fees and other expenses incurred in connection with any suit, action or proceeding or any claim asserted, as such fees and expenses are incurred) that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to such Holder furnished to the Company in writing by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for use in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any Free Writing Prospectus. (c) If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against any Person in respect of which indemnification may be sought pursuant to either paragraph (a) or (b) above, such Person (the “Indemnified Person”) shall promptly notify the Person against whom such indemnification may be sought (the “Indemnifying Person”) in writing; provided that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under paragraph (a) or (b) above except to the extent that it has been -17-


 
materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided, further, that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under paragraph (a) or (b). If any such proceeding shall be brought or asserted against an Indemnified Person and it shall have notified the Indemnifying Person thereof, the Indemnifying Person shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person and any others entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 5 that the Indemnifying Person may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding, as incurred. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless (i) the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the Indemnifying Person has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person; (iii) the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Person; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood and agreed that the Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnified Persons, and that all such reasonable fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate firm (x) for any Initial Purchaser or its affiliates, directors and officers and any control Persons of such Initial Purchaser shall be designated in writing by such Initial Purchasers, (y) for any Holder, its directors and officers and any control Persons of such Holder shall be designated in writing by the Majority Holders and (z) in all other cases shall be designated in writing by the Company. The Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Person agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No Indemnifying Person shall, without the written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement (A) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (B) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person. (d) If the indemnification provided for in paragraphs (a) or (b) above is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Person under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute -18-


 
to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company from the offering of the Securities and the Exchange Securities, on the one hand, and by the Holders from receiving Securities or Exchange Securities registered under the Securities Act, on the other hand, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Holders, as applicable, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. (e) The Company and the Holders agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Holders were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph (d) above. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in paragraph (d) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5, in no event shall a Holder be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities or Exchange Securities sold by such Holder exceeds the amount of any damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Holders’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 5 are several and not joint. (f) The remedies provided for in this Section 5 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies that may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity. (g) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 5 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Initial Purchasers or any Holder or any Person controlling any Initial Purchaser or any Holder, or by or on behalf of the Company or the officers or directors of or any Person controlling the Company, (iii) acceptance of any of the Exchange Securities and (iv) any sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement. -19-


 
6. General. (a) No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company represents, warrants and agrees that (i) the rights granted to the Holders hereunder do not in any way conflict with and are not inconsistent with the rights granted to the holders of any other outstanding securities issued or guaranteed by the Company under any other agreement and (ii) the Company has not entered into, and on or after the date of this Agreement, will not enter into, any agreement that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders of Registrable Securities in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. (b) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given unless the Company has obtained the written consent of Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Registrable Securities affected by such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent; provided that no amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent to any departure from the provisions of Section 6 hereof shall be effective as against any Holder of Registrable Securities unless consented to in writing by such Holder. Any amendments, modifications, supplements, waivers or consents pursuant to this Section 6(b) shall be by a writing executed by each of the parties hereto. (c) Notices. Except as otherwise specified herein, all notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand- delivery, registered first-class mail, email or any courier guaranteeing overnight delivery (i) if to a Holder, at the most current address given by such Holder to the Company by means of a notice given in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6(c), which address initially is, with respect to the Initial Purchasers, the address set forth in the Purchase Agreement; (ii) if to the Company, initially at the Company’s address set forth in the Purchase Agreement and thereafter at such other address, notice of which is given in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6(c); and (iii) if to such other persons, at their respective addresses as provided in the Purchase Agreement and thereafter at such other address, notice of which is given in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6(c). All such notices and communications shall be deemed to have been duly given: at the time delivered by hand, if personally delivered; five Business Days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, if mailed; when receipt is acknowledged, if emailed; and on the next Business Day if timely delivered to an air courier guaranteeing overnight delivery. Copies of all such notices, demands or other communications shall be concurrently delivered by the Person giving the same to the Trustee, at the address specified in the Indenture. (d) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors, assigns and transferees of each of the parties, including, without limitation and without the need for an express assignment, subsequent Holders; provided that nothing herein shall be deemed to permit any assignment, transfer or other disposition of Registrable Securities in violation of the terms of the Purchase Agreement -20-


 
or the Indenture. If any transferee of any Holder shall acquire Registrable Securities in any manner, whether by operation of law or otherwise, such Registrable Securities shall be held subject to all the terms of this Agreement, and by taking and holding such Registrable Securities such Person shall be conclusively deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to perform all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement and such Person shall be entitled to receive the benefits hereof. The Initial Purchasers (in their capacity as Initial Purchasers) shall have no liability or obligation to the Company with respect to any failure by a Holder to comply with, or any breach by any Holder of, any of the obligations of such Holder under this Agreement. (e) Third-Party Beneficiaries. Each Holder shall be a third-party beneficiary to the agreements made hereunder between the Company, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, and shall have the right to enforce such agreements directly to the extent it deems such enforcement necessary or advisable to protect its rights or the rights of other Holders hereunder. (f) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same Agreement. (g) Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only, are not a part of this Agreement and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof. (h) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. (i) Entire Agreement; Severability. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all oral statements and prior writings with respect thereto. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction contained in this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable or against public policy, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions contained herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated. The Company and the Initial Purchasers shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the invalid, void or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of such invalid, void or unenforceable provisions. (j) Delegation by the Company. All references to obligations of the Company to take or not take any actions shall be satisfied so long as the Company causes such actions to be taken or not taken, as applicable.
