The Company shall have the right to redeem the New Notes, in whole or in part, at its option, as follows: the 2029 Notes may be redeemed at any time prior to February 15, 2029 and the 2034 Notes may be redeemed at any time prior to December 15, 2033 (in each case with respect to the applicable series of New Notes, the “Par Call Date”), upon at least 10 days’ but no more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of: (i) 100% of the principal amount of the New Notes to be redeemed, and (ii) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the New Notes to be redeemed (exclusive of interest accrued to the redemption date) to February 15, 2029 or in the case of the 2029 Notes, December 15, 2033, in the case of the 2034 Notes discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 15 basis points in the case of the 2029 Notes and plus 20 basis points in the case of the 2034 Notes, less (b) interest accrued to the redemption date; plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to but excluding the date of redemption. On or after the applicable Par Call Date, the Company shall have the right to redeem the New Notes, in whole or in part, at its option, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to but excluding the date of redemption. “Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the yield determined by the Company in accordance with the following two paragraphs. The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Company after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third business day preceding the redemption date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal
6 DMFIRM #411303230 v3 Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily) - H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities–Treasury constant maturities–Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading) (“H.15 TCM”). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Company shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the redemption date to the Par Call Date (the “Remaining Life”); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields – one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life – and shall interpolate to the Par Call Date on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the redemption date. If on the third business day preceding the redemption date H.15 TCM is no longer published, the Company shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second business day preceding such redemption date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the Par Call Date, as applicable. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the Par Call Date but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date and one with a maturity date following the Par Call Date, the Company shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the Par Call Date or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Company shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places. The Company’s actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. In the case of a partial redemption, selection of Definitive Notes for redemption will be made by lot by the Trustee. No New Notes of a principal amount of $2,000 or less will be redeemed in part. If any New Notes are to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such New Notes will state the portion of the principal amount of the New Notes to be redeemed. A new Definitive Note in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of a Definitive Note will be issued in the name of the Holder of such Definitive Note upon surrender for cancellation of the original Definitive Note. For so long as the New Notes are held by DTC
7 DMFIRM #411303230 v3 (or another Depository), the redemption of the Notes shall be done in accordance with the policies and procedures of the Depository. Unless the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date interest will cease to accrue on the New Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. Any optional redemption may be conditioned upon the consummation of one or more other transactions, including any debt or equity issuance by the Company or any of its parent companies or Subsidiaries. The Trustee shall not have responsibility for calculating any redemption price. Redemption of the New Notes of one series may be made without the redemption the Notes of any other series. Section 5.

Subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture and without the consent of the Holders, the Company may issue additional Securities of the same series under the Indenture.
