「國庫券利率」指任何贖回日由公司按照以下兩款所確定的收益率。
國庫券利率應於紅emption 點之前的第3個業務日的4:15時後(或根據美聯儲系統理事會每日張貼的美國政府證券收益率時間)由公司確定,並基於最近一次統計發布的美國聯邦儲備系統理事會(或任何後續指定或發布)發行的“選定利率(每日)— H.15”(或任何後繼指定或出版物)下的U.S.政府證券-國庫證書到期收益率—名義(或任何後續標題)(“H.15 TCM”)表頭下的當天時間後出現的收益率或收益率。在確定國庫券利率時,公司應按相關終生期間(1)、H.15 上與贖回日期到期的國庫證券到期收益率(2)、如果在H.15 上沒有與終生期相等的國庫證券到期,則使用兩個收益率 - 一個收益率對應於比終生期短的H.15 國庫證券到期,另一個收益率對應於比終生期長的H.15國庫證券到期—並應使用這些收益率並將結果四捨五入至三位小數;或(3)如果在H.15 上沒有比終生期短或長的國庫證券到期,則使用與終生期最接近的H.15上的單一國庫證券到期收益率。
倘若在贖回日前第三個業務日時《H.15 TCm》不再公佈,公司應根據美國紐約市時間上午11:00之前第二個業務日上,與償還日最接近的到期日之美國國債的年利率等同於半年度殖利率。若在償還日當天沒有到期的美國國債,但存在兩個或兩個以上到期日與半呼權日最接近的美國國債,一個到期日早於半呼權日,一個到期日晚於半呼權日,公司應選擇到期日早於半呼權日的美國國債。若有兩個或兩個以上到期日為半呼權日或兩個或兩個以上符合前述條款的美國國債,公司應選擇這兩個或兩個以上之美國國債中,根據美國紐約市時間上午11:00之美國國債的買盤及賣盤價的平均值,最接近面額的美國國債。根據本段規定計算財富利率時,應根據美國紐約市時間上午11:00之美國國債的買盤及賣盤價之平均值(以本金金額百分比表示),並四捨五入至三位小數。
5
在確定贖回價格方面,公司的行動和決定將是最終和具有約束力的,除非明顯出現錯誤。
任何贖回通知將通過郵寄或電子郵件發送(或根據存托人的程序以其他方式傳遞),在贖回日期至少10天但不超過60天之前,向每位持有應該被贖回的證券持有人發送。任何贖回或通知可能在公司酌情下,受到一個或多個先決條件的限制,並且在公司酌情下,贖回日期可能延遲至在公司酌情下包括被滿足(或獲得公司豁免)的任何或所有此類先決條件時,或者贖回日期可能不發生,並且如果在公司酌情下包括的所有此類先決條件未被滿足(或獲得公司豁免),則此類通知可能被撤銷。
在部分贖回的情況下,將按比例、抽籤或受託人依據其自行判斷認為合適和公平的其他方法選擇要贖回的證券。不會部分贖回面額為2,000美元或以下的任何證券。如果有任何證券僅部分贖回,則涉及該證券的贖回通知將說明要贖回的證券的本金金額部分。等值於未贖回部分的證券將以該證券持有人的名義發行,以取消原始證券。只要證券由存託機構信托公司持有,贖回證券將根據存託機構信托公司的政策和程序進行。
除非公司未按照贖回價支付,自贖回日期起,利息將停止在應贖回的證券或其部分上累計。
如果就該系列證券發生並持續存在與本系列證券相關的違約事件,則可以按照信託契約中規定的方式將本系列證券(包括本擔保物和所代表的利息)的本金宣告到期並應付。支付(i)宣告到期並應付的本金金額和(ii)任何逾期本金和逾期利息的利息(在每一情況下,只要該利息的支付是合法可執行的),公司對支付本系列證券(包括本擔保物和所代表的利息)的本金和利息的所有義務將終止。
若發生變更控制回購事件,除非公司行使了贖回證券的權利如上所述,公司將被要求向每位持有人提出購回所有或任何部分(相等於$2,000或其超額的$1,000的整數倍)的證券的要約,以現金的購回價格等於購回的證券的總本金金額的101%,再加上購回的證券至購回日止的任何應計及未支付的利息。在任何變更控制回購事件後的30天內,或者根據公司的選擇,在任何變更前的情況下
6
在更換控制權後,公司將向每位持有人郵寄通知,並抄送給受託人,描述構成或可能構成更換控制權贖回事件的交易,並提供在通知中指定的支付日期回購證券,該日期將不早於通知寄出之日起30天,不晚於60天。如果在更換控制權實現日期之前寄出通知,通知應指出購買要約條件為更換控制權贖回事件在通知中指定的支付日期前或當日發生。公司將遵守交易所法案規定的要求,以及任何其他適用於證券收回事件的證券法律和相關法規。在任何證券法律或法規的規定與證券的更換控制權贖回事件條款存在衝突時,公司將遵守適用的證券法律和法規,並不因此衝突或遵循而被認為違反公司在證券更換控制權贖回事件條款下的義務。 14e-1 更換控制權贖回事件後的贖回日期,公司將:
在更換控制權贖回事件後的贖回日期,公司將合法地:
(1) | 接受根據公司要約適當招標而遞交的所有證券或證券部分的支付; |
(2) | 向付款代理存入與適當招標的所有證券或證券部分相等的總購買價款; |
(3) | 交付或促使提交給受託人適當接受的證券,連同一份主管證明書,說明公司購買的證券總本金金額。 |
支付代理將及時支付給每一名正確投標證券的持有人證券的購買價格,托管人將及時簽發新票據(或引起簽發通過帳簿轉讓)給每一名持有人,新票據的本金金額等於已投標的證券中任何未購購部分;惟每張新票據的本金金額應為2,000美元或其整數倍數,並超過其1,000美元。
若第三方以符合公司要約條件的方式、時間和其他要求在換手控制回購事件時提出要約,並且該第三方購入所有正確投標且未在要約期間撤回的證券,則公司無需對證券進行回購要約。

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Below Investment Grade Ratings Event otherwise arising by virtue of a particular reduction in rating shall not be deemed to have occurred in respect of a particular Change of Control (and thus shall not be deemed a Below Investment Grade Ratings Event for purposes of the definition of Change of Control Repurchase Event hereunder) if the Rating Agencies making the reduction in rating to which this definition would otherwise apply do not announce or publicly confirm or inform the Trustee in writing at its request that the reduction was the result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, the applicable Change of Control (whether or not the applicable Change of Control shall have occurred at the time of the ratings event).
“Change of Control” means the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), other than the Company or the Company’s subsidiaries, becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the combined voting power of the Company’s Voting Stock or other Voting Stock into which the Company’s Voting Stock is reclassified, consolidated, exchanged or changed, measured by voting power rather than number of shares.
“Change of Control Repurchase Event” means the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Below Investment Grade Ratings Event.
“Investment Grade” means a rating of Baa3 or better by Moody’s (or its equivalent under any successor rating categories of Moody’s); a rating of BBB- or better by S&P (or its equivalent under any successor rating categories of S&P); or the equivalent Investment Grade credit rating from any additional Rating Agency or Rating Agencies selected by the Company.
“Moody’s” means Moody’s Investors Service, Inc.
“Rating Agency” means (1) each of Moody’s and S&P; and (2) if any of Moody’s or S&P ceases to rate the Securities or fails to make a rating of such Securities publicly available for reasons outside of the Company’s control, a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” as defined in Section 3(a)(62) of the Exchange Act, selected by the Company (as certified by a resolution of the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer) as a replacement agency for Moody’s or S&P, or both of them, as the case may be.

The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate 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 the Persons who are beneficial owners of interests represented hereby, and of any Security issued in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.
As set forth in, and subject to, the provisions of the Indenture, no Holder of any Security of this series will have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for any remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of this series shall have made written request, and offered

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange of Securities as provided above, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
