• Designation and Terms of Securities (a) The aggregate principal amount of Securities that may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is unlimited. The Securities may be issued in one or more series up to the aggregate principal amount of Securities of that series from time to time authorized by or pursuant to a Board Resolution or pursuant to one or more indentures supplemental hereto. Prior to the initial issuance of Securities of any series, there shall be established in or pursuant to a Board Resolution, and set forth in an Officer’s Certificate, or established in one or more indentures supplemental hereto:

• Title and Terms The aggregate principal amount of Securities which may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture on the first issuance is limited to $50,000,000 in principal amount of Securities, except for Securities authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Securities pursuant to Sections 3.03, 3.04, 3.05, 3.06, 3.07, 3.08, 9.06, 10.12, 10.15 or 11.08. Additional Securities may be issued under the Indenture in compliance with Sections 3.03 and 10.08. The Securities shall be known and designated as the “6.00% Senior Notes due 2017” of the Company. The Stated Maturity of the Securities shall be June 30, 2017, and the Securities shall each bear interest at the rate of 6.00% per annum, as such interest rate may be adjusted as set forth in the Securities, from May 10, 2013 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid, payable semiannually on May 15 and November 15 in each year, commencing November 15, 2013, until the principal thereof is paid or duly provided for. Interest on any overdue principal, interest (to the extent lawful) or premium, if any, shall be payable on demand. The principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, the Securities shall be payable and the Securities shall be exchangeable and transferable at an office or agency of the Company maintained for such purposes (which initially will be a corporate trust office of the Trustee located at 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 0000, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, Attention: Corporate Trust Services); provided, however, that payment of interest may be made at the option of the Company by check mailed to addresses of the Persons entitled thereto as shown on the Security Register. For all purposes hereunder, the Initial Securities and any Additional Securities issued pursuant to this Indenture will be treated as one class and are together referred to as the “Securities.” The Securities shall be subject to repurchase by the Company pursuant to an Offer as provided in Section 10.12. Holders shall have the right to require the Company to purchase their Securities, in whole or in part, in the event of a Change of Control pursuant to Section 10.15. The Securities shall be redeemable as provided in Article Eleven and in the Securities. The Securities shall be Senior Indebtedness of the Company ranking in right of payment equal to all other existing and future Senior Indebtedness of the Company and senior to all Subordinated Indebtedness of the Company. At the election of the Company, the entire Indebtedness on the Securities or certain of the Company’s obligations and covenants and certain Events of Default thereunder may be defeased as provided in Article Four.

• Terms of Securities A Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officers’ Certificate shall establish whether the Securities of a Series shall be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Securities and the Depositary for such Global Security or Securities.

• Title and Terms; Payments The aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture (the “Initial Notes”) is initially limited to $350,000,000, except for Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration or transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Notes pursuant to Sections 2.05, 2.06, 2.09, 2.11, or 3.07. The Company may, from time to time after the execution of this Indenture, execute and deliver to the Trustee for authentication Additional Notes of an unlimited aggregate principal amount, and the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver said Additional Notes to or upon receipt of a Company Order, without any further action by the Company hereunder; provided, however, that (1) if any such Additional Notes are not fungible with the Initial Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, any such Additional Notes will have a separate CUSIP number for so long as they remain not fungible; (2) such Additional Notes must be issued pursuant to the same terms (other than the date of issuance for such Notes and, if applicable in accordance with Section 2.14, the date from which interest will initially accrue and the date of the first interest payment) as the Initial Notes; (3) the Trustee must receive an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that such issuance of Additional Notes complies with the provisions of this Indenture, including each provision of this paragraph and all conditions precedent to the issuance and authentication of such Additional Notes have been satisfied; and (4) the Trustee must receive an Opinion of Counsel which shall state (a) that the form of such Additional Notes has been established by a supplemental indenture or pursuant to the Board Resolutions in accordance with this Section 2.01 and Section 2.04 and in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; (b) that the terms of such Additional Notes have been established in accordance with this Section 2.01 and in conformity with the other provisions of this Indenture and all conditions precedent to the issuance and authentication of such Additional Notes have been satisfied; and (c) that such Additional Notes have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and to general equity principles. The Notes shall be known and designated as the “2.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2020” of the Company. The principal amount shall be payable on the Maturity Date unless no longer Outstanding because earlier purchased or converted in accordance with this Indenture. The principal amount of Physical Notes shall be payable in U.S. dollars at the Corporate Trust Office and at any other office or agency maintained by the Company for such purpose. Interest on Physical Notes will be payable (i) to Holders holding Physical Notes having an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or less of Notes, by check mailed to such Holders at the address set forth in the Register and (ii) to Holders holding Physical Notes having an aggregate principal amount of more than $1,000,000 of Notes, either by check mailed to such Holders or, upon written application by a Holder to the Company and Registrar at least three Business Days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to such Holder’s account within the U.S., which application shall remain in effect until the Holder notifies the Registrar to the contrary in writing. The Company will pay or cause the Trustee or Paying Agent to pay principal of, and interest on, Global Notes in U.S. dollars and in immediately available funds to the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered Holder of such Global Note, on each Interest Payment Date, Fundamental Change Purchase Date, the Maturity Date or other payment date, as the case may be.

• Form and Terms of the Notes The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto. The aggregate principal amount of the Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under the Indenture, as amended hereby, shall be $300,000,000. The Company may, without the consent of the Holders, create and issue additional securities ranking pari passu with the Notes in all respects and so that such additional Notes shall be consolidated and form a single series having the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise as the Notes initially issued. The terms of the Notes are established as set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto and this Fourteenth Supplemental Indenture. The terms and notations contained in the Notes shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of the Indenture as supplemented by this Fourteenth Supplemental Indenture, and the Company and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Fourteenth Supplemental Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. Clause five of Section 501 of the Indenture is hereby amended in its entirety as follows: “If any event of default under any bond, debenture, note or other evidence of indebtedness of the Company (including any event of default with respect to any other series of Securities), or under any mortgage, indenture or other instrument of the Company under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any indebtedness of the Company (or by any Subsidiary, the repayment of which the Company has guaranteed or for which the Company is directly responsible or liable as obligor or guarantor), whether such indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be created, shall happen and shall result in an aggregate principal amount exceeding $25,000,000 becoming or being declared due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise have become due and payable, without such indebtedness having been discharged, or such acceleration having been waived, rescinded or annulled, within a period of 10 days after there shall have been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the Notes a written notice specifying such event of default and requiring the Company to cause such indebtedness to be discharged or cause such acceleration to be rescinded or annulled and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder. Subject to the provisions of Section 601, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of such event of default unless either (A) a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual knowledge of such event of default or (B) the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof from the Company, from any Holder, from the holder of any such indebtedness or from the trustee under any such mortgage, indenture or other instrument; or”. The amendment to clause five of Section 501 of the Indenture relates solely to the rights of the Holders of the Notes and shall not affect the rights under the Indenture of the Holders of Securities of any other series. Section 1004 of the Indenture is hereby amended in its entirety as follows:

• Title and Terms; Denominations (a) The aggregate number of Normal Units and Stripped Units, if any, evidenced by Certificates authenticated, executed on behalf of the Holders and delivered hereunder is limited to 21,000,000 (24,000,000 if the Underwriters' (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement) over-allotment option pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement is exercised in full), except for Certificates authenticated, executed and delivered upon registration of transfer of, in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Certificates pursuant to Section 3.4, 3.5, 3.10, 3.13, 3.14, 5.9, 5.10 or 8.5.

• Form, Dating and Terms (a) The aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is unlimited. The Initial Notes issued on the date hereof will be in an aggregate principal amount of $2,250,000,000. In addition, the Issuers may issue, from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, Additional Notes (as provided herein). Furthermore, Notes may be authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer, exchange or in lieu of, other Notes pursuant to Sections 2.2, 2.6, 2.11, 2.13, 5.6 or 9.5, in connection with an Asset Disposition Offer pursuant to Section 3.5 or in connection with a Change of Control Offer pursuant to Section 3.9. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Issuers may not issue any Additional Notes, unless such issuance is in compliance with Sections 3.2 and 3.6. With respect to any Additional Notes, the Issuers shall set forth in an Officer’s Certificate or one or more indentures supplemental hereto, the following information:

• Loans and Terms of Payment 2.1 [Reserved].

• Treatment of Securities The Company will treat the Securities as indebtedness, and the amounts, other than payments of principal, payable in respect of the principal amount of such Securities as interest, for all U.S. federal income tax purposes. All payments in respect of the Securities will be made free and clear of U.S. withholding tax to any beneficial owner thereof that has provided an Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or W-8BEN (or any substitute or successor form) establishing its U.S. or non-U.S. status for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or any other applicable form establishing a complete exemption from U.S. withholding tax.

• Replacement of Securities If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof (in the case of mutilation), or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction. The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities.
