Aggregate Principal Amount The aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under this First Supplemental Indenture shall be unlimited; provided that the Obligor complies with the provisions of this First Supplemental Indenture.
Designation and Principal Amount (a) The Notes are hereby authorized and designated the 4.900% Notes due 2025. The Notes may be authenticated and delivered under the Indenture in an unlimited aggregate principal amount. The Notes issued on the date hereof pursuant to the terms of the Indenture shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $2,500,000,000, which amount shall be set forth in the written order of the Company for the authentication and delivery of the Notes pursuant to Section 301 of the Base Indenture. The Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of the Company and will rank on the same basis with all of the Company’s other senior unsecured indebtedness from time to time outstanding. (b) In addition, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes, the Company may issue, from time to time in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, Additional Notes having the same ranking and the same interest rate, maturity and other terms as the Notes (except for the issue date, issue price, and, in some cases, the first payment of interest or interest accruing prior to the issue date of such additional Notes). Any Additional Notes having such similar terms, together with the Notes issued on the date hereof, shall constitute a single series of Notes under the Indenture. Additional Notes of a series may only bear the same CUSIP number if they would be fungible for United States federal tax purposes with the existing Notes of that series. No Additional Notes may be issued if an Event of Default has occurred with respect to the Notes.
