Under a Board Resolution, Officers’ Certificate pursuant to Board Resolutions or an indenture supplement, the Company may from time to time, without the consent of the Holders of Notes, issue additional Notes (in any such case “Additional Notes”) having the same ranking and the same interest rate, maturity and other terms as the Notes; provided that, if such Additional Notes are not fungible with the Notes (or any other tranche of Additional Notes) for U.S. federal income tax purposes, then such Additional Notes will have different CUSIP numbers from the Notes (and any such other tranche of Additional Notes). Any Additional Notes and the existing Notes will constitute a single series under the Indenture and all references to the relevant Notes herein shall include the Additional Notes unless the context otherwise requires.

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time on or after December 15, 2026, the Company may redeem some or all of the Notes at any time, or from time to time, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. For purposes of calculating the Redemption Price in connection with the redemption of the Notes, on any Redemption Date, the following terms have the meanings set forth below:
Forms Generally The Securities of each series shall be in substantially the form set forth in this Article, or in such other form as shall be established by or pursuant to a Board Resolution or in one or more indentures supplemental hereto, in each case with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by this 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 Depositary therefor or as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the officers executing such Securities, as evidenced by their execution thereof. If the form of Securities of any series is established by action taken pursuant to a Board Resolution, a copy of an appropriate record of such action shall be certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company and delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Company Order contemplated by Section 303 for the authentication and delivery of such Securities. The definitive Securities shall be printed, lithographed or engraved on steel engraved borders or may be produced in any other manner, all as determined by the officers executing such Securities, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities.
Form of the Notes The Notes shall each be issued in the form of a Global Note, duly executed by the Issuer and authenticated by the Authenticating Agent, which shall be deposited with, or on behalf of, the Depositary or its nominee, as common depositary for, and in respect of interests held through, Euroclear and Clearstream, and registered in the name of such common depositary or its nominee for the accounts of Euroclear and Clearstream. The 2025 Notes and the Series Trustee’s and Authenticating Agent’s Certification of Authentication in respect thereof shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto and the 2029 Notes and the Series Trustee’s and Authenticating Agent’s Certification of Authentication in respect thereof shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto. So long as Euroclear or Clearstream or their nominee or the Depositary or its nominee is the Holder of the Global Notes, Euroclear, Clearstream, the Depositary or their respective nominees, as the case may be, shall be considered the sole owner or Holder of the Notes represented by such Global Notes for all purposes under the Indenture and the Notes. Except as set forth in Sections 2.03(d) and 2.04(d) hereof, the Global Notes may be transferred, in whole and not in part, only to Euroclear or Clearstream or their respective nominees only through records maintained by Clearstream and Euroclear (with respect to beneficial interests of participants) or by participants or Persons that hold interests through participants (with respect to beneficial interests of beneficial owners), and owners of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will not be entitled to have the Notes registered in their names and will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of Notes in definitive form. Payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest in respect of the Global Notes will be made to Euroclear, Clearstream, such nominee or such Depositary, as the case may be, as Holder thereof. None of the Issuer, the Series Trustee, any underwriter or any affiliate of any of the above or any Person by whom any of the above is “controlled,” as such term is defined in the Securities Act, will have any responsibility or liability for any records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in the Global Notes or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. The terms and provisions contained in the form of Global Notes attached hereto as Exhibits A and B shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this First Supplemental Indenture and the Issuer, by its execution and delivery of this First Supplemental Indenture, expressly agrees to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereto. Any of the Notes may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such notations, legends and endorsements as the officers executing the same may approve (execution thereof to be conclusive evidence of such approval) and are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Indenture (and which do not affect the rights, duties or immunities of the Series Trustee), or as may be required to comply with any law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or with any rule or regulation of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Notes may be listed. For the purposes of this First Supplemental Indenture only, the Global Security Legend for the Notes shall be the legend set forth at the beginning of the form of Global Notes attached hereto as Exhibits A and B, and such legend shall apply in lieu of the legend set forth in Section 2.4 of the Original Indenture.

Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The terms of the Notes set forth in Exhibit A are part of the terms of this Indenture.

Initial Notes and any Initial Additional Notes offered and sold in reliance on Rule 144A shall, unless the Company otherwise notifies the Trustee in writing, be issued in the form of one or more permanent global Notes substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (as such form may be modified in accordance with Section 301), except as otherwise permitted herein.

Such Global Notes shall be referred to herein as the “Permanent Regulation S Global Notes” and, together with the Temporary Regulation S Global Notes, as the “Regulation S Global Notes.” The Permanent Regulation S Global Notes shall be deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary or its nominee for credit to the account of an Agent Member and shall be duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided. Simultaneously with the authentication of a Permanent Regulation S Global Note, the Trustee shall cancel the related Temporary Regulation S Global Note. The aggregate principal amount of a Regulation S Global Note may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made in the records of the Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary or its nominee, as hereinafter provided.

Status of the Notes The Notes and any relative Receipts and Coupons are direct, unconditional, unsubordinated and (subject to the provisions of Condition 4) unsecured obligations of the Issuer and rank pari passu among themselves and (save for certain obligations required to be preferred by law) equally with all other unsecured obligations (other than subordinated obligations, if any) of the Issuer, from time to time outstanding.
Forms of Securities Each Security shall be in one of the forms approved from time to time by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, or established in one or more indentures supplemental hereto. Prior to the delivery of a Security to the Trustee for authentication in any form approved by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee the Board Resolution by or pursuant to which such form of Security has been approved, which Board Resolution shall have attached thereto a true and correct copy of the form of Security which has been approved thereby or, if a Board Resolution authorizes a specific officer or officers to approve a form of Security, a certificate of such officer or officers approving the form of Security attached thereto. Any form of Security approved by or pursuant to a Board Resolution must be acceptable as to form to the Trustee, such acceptance to be evidenced by the Trustee’s authentication of Securities in that form or a certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee and delivered to the Company.
No Exhibit E without unaltered DPA including Texas Addendum Any alterations are only allowed in Exhibit “H”. Any terms under Exhibit “H” do not apply to Exhibit “E” and render Exhibit “E” null and void.
