ARTICLE 5
REMEDIES

SECTION 5.01.         Events of Default . In addition to the Events of Default specified in Sections 6.1(a) and 6.1(b) of the Original Indenture, with respect to the Notes each of the following events shall be an “ Event of Default ” wherever used herein:

(a)                the Company fails to comply with Section 4.02 hereof;

(b)                the Company fails to comply with Section 4.3 and 4.4 of the Original Indenture, Section 4.01 hereof (other than a failure to purchase Notes when required) and such failure continues for 30 days after the notice specified below;

(c)                the Company fails to comply with Section 4.03 hereof or any of its other agreements contained in the Indenture (other than those referred to in clause (a) or (b) above) and such failure continues for 60 days after the notice specified below;

(d)                an involuntary case or other proceeding shall be commenced against the Company or a Significant Subsidiary of the Company with respect to it or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of it or any substantial part of its property, and such involuntary case or other proceeding shall remain undismissed and unstayed for a period of 60 days; or an order for relief shall be entered against the Company or a Significant Subsidiary of the Company under the federal bankruptcy laws as now or hereafter in effect; and

(e)                the Company or a Significant Subsidiary of the Company (A) commences a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or consents to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any such law, (B) consents to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator or similar official of the Company or a Significant

Subsidiary of the Company or for all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Company or a Significant Subsidiary of the Company or (C) effects any general assignment for the benefit of creditors.

The foregoing will constitute Events of Default whatever the reason for any such Event of Default and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body.

A Default under clauses (b) or (c) will not constitute an Event of Default until the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes notify the Company of the Default and the Company does not cure such Default within the time specified 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.”

The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after the occurrence thereof, written notice in the form of an Officers’ Certificate of any event which with the giving of notice or the lapse of time would become an Event of Default, its status and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default or knowledge of any cure of any Default or Event of Default unless an authorized officer of the Trustee with direct responsibility for the administration of the Indenture has received written notice of such Default or Event of Default.

SECTION 5.02.         Acceleration . If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(d) or Section 5.01(e) hereof with respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Notes to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal and interest shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(d) or Section 5.01(e) hereof with respect to the Company occurs, the principal of and interest on all the Notes shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes by notice to the Trustee may rescind an acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree, if all amounts owed to the Trustee in connection with such Event of Default have been paid and if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of acceleration. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

SECTION 5.03.         Remaining Provisions . Other than as provided in Section 5.01 and Section 5.02 hereof, the provisions of Article 6 of the Original Indenture shall govern with respect to Defaults and related remedies.

SECTION 6.03.         Covenant Defeasance . In addition to the certain covenants specified in Section 8.3 of the Original Indenture (being Sections 4.3 and 4.4 of the Original Indenture), the Company may also omit to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in Section 4.01 and Section 4.03 hereof and the operation of clauses (d) and (e) of Section 5.01 hereof with respect only to Significant Subsidiaries, and in each case such omission shall not be deemed to be an Event of Default under clauses (b), (c), (d) or (e) of Section 5.01 hereof with respect to the Notes if the conditions of Section 8.3 of the Original Indenture are complied with.

There is hereby authorized a series of Securities designated the “5.100% Senior Notes due 2048” initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $500,000,000, which amount shall be as set forth in any written order of the Company for the authentication and delivery of Notes pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Original Indenture.

The principal amount of Notes then outstanding shall be payable at Stated Maturity.

The Company may, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes, hereafter issue additional Notes (“ Additional Notes ”) under the Indenture with the same terms and with the same CUSIP numbers as the Notes issued on the date of this Supplemental Indenture (the “ Initial Notes ”) in an unlimited aggregate principal amount; provided that if the Additional Notes are not fungible with the Initial Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such Additional Notes will have a separate CUSIP number. Any such Additional Notes shall constitute a single series together with the Initial Notes for all purposes hereunder, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments and offers to purchase.

The Form of Note shall be substantially as set forth in Exhibit A hereto, which is incorporated into and shall be deemed a part of this Supplemental Indenture, with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by the Indenture, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as may be required to comply with the rules of any securities exchange or as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the officers of the Company executing such Notes, as evidenced by their execution of the Notes.

The Company shall pay principal of and interest on any Global Note in immediately available funds to the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered Holder of such Global Note. The Company shall pay principal of any Notes (other than Notes that are Global Notes) at the office or agency designated by the Company for that purpose. The Company has initially designated the Trustee as its Paying Agent and Registrar in respect of the Notes and its agency in New York, New York as a place where Notes may be presented for payment or for registration of transfer. The Company may, however, change the Paying Agent or Registrar for the Notes without prior notice to the Holders thereof, and the Company may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

The Notes initially shall be issued in the form of one or more Global Notes (i) registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of the Depositary, and (ii) delivered to the Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary. Members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“ Agent Members ”) shall have no rights under this Supplemental Indenture or the Original Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary, or the Trustee as its custodian, or under the Global Note, and the

Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner of the Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of any Holder.

SECTION 2.03.         CUSIP Numbers . In issuing the Notes, the Company may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders of the Notes; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers as printed on the Notes and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers.

ARTICLE 3

(ii)               the sum of the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on the Notes being redeemed (not including any portion of the payments of interest accrued as of the date fixed for redemption) from the redemption date to the Par Call Date, discounted to its present value as of the date fixed for redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate, as determined by the Quotation Agent, plus 30 basis points, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to the date fixed for redemption, or

Global Notes, by lot),

in each case, for the avoidance of doubt, in accordance with applicable Depositary procedures.

SECTION 4.02.         Restrictions on Consolidations, Mergers and Sales of Assets . The Company will not consolidate with or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease, in one transaction or a series of transactions, directly or indirectly, all or substantially all its assets to, any Person, unless (i) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (the “ Successor Company ”) shall be a Person organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia and the Successor Company (if not the Company) shall expressly assume, by an indenture supplemental thereto, executed and delivered to the Trustee, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, all the obligations of the Company under the Notes and the Indenture; (ii) immediately after giving pro forma effect to such transaction, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and (iii) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such supplemental indenture (if any) comply with the Indenture.

(a)                the Company fails to comply with Section 4.02 hereof;

(b)                the Company fails to comply with Section 4.3 and 4.4 of the Original Indenture, Section 4.01 hereof (other than a failure to purchase Notes when required) and such failure continues for 30 days after the notice specified below;

(c)                the Company fails to comply with Section 4.03 hereof or any of its other agreements contained in the Indenture (other than those referred to in clause (a) or (b) above) and such failure continues for 60 days after the notice specified below;

(d)                an involuntary case or other proceeding shall be commenced against the Company or a Significant Subsidiary of the Company with respect to it or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of it or any substantial part of its property, and such involuntary case or other proceeding shall remain undismissed and unstayed for a period of 60 days; or an order for relief shall be entered against the Company or a Significant Subsidiary of the Company under the federal bankruptcy laws as now or hereafter in effect; and

Subsidiary of the Company or for all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Company or a Significant Subsidiary of the Company or (C) effects any general assignment for the benefit of creditors.

The foregoing will constitute Events of Default whatever the reason for any such Event of Default and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body.

A Default under clauses (b) or (c) will not constitute an Event of Default until the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes notify the Company of the Default and the Company does not cure such Default within the time specified 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.”

The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after the occurrence thereof, written notice in the form of an Officers’ Certificate of any event which with the giving of notice or the lapse of time would become an Event of Default, its status and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default or knowledge of any cure of any Default or Event of Default unless an authorized officer of the Trustee with direct responsibility for the administration of the Indenture has received written notice of such Default or Event of Default.

Upon such a declaration, such principal and interest shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(d) or Section 5.01(e) hereof with respect to the Company occurs, the principal of and interest on all the Notes shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes by notice to the Trustee may rescind an acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree, if all amounts owed to the Trustee in connection with such Event of Default have been paid and if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of acceleration. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

SECTION 6.03.         Covenant Defeasance . In addition to the certain covenants specified in Section 8.3 of the Original Indenture (being Sections 4.3 and 4.4 of the Original Indenture), the Company may also omit to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in Section 4.01 and Section 4.03 hereof and the operation of clauses (d) and (e) of Section 5.01 hereof with respect only to Significant Subsidiaries, and in each case such omission shall not be deemed to be an Event of Default under clauses (b), (c), (d) or (e) of Section 5.01 hereof with respect to the Notes if the conditions of Section 8.3 of the Original Indenture are complied with.

The Company may redeem the Notes in whole or in part, at any time (a) prior to March 28, 2048 at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date fixed for redemption, or (ii) the sum of the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on the Notes being redeemed (not including any portion of the payments of interest accrued as of the date fixed for redemption), discounted to its present value as of the date fixed for redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate (as defined in the Supplemental Indenture), as determined by the Quotation Agent (as defined in the Supplemental Indenture), plus 30 basis points, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to the date fixed for redemption, or (b) on or after March 28, 2048, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date fixed for redemption.

Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (a) the Indenture and the Securities may be amended with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount
