(b) In addition to the limitation set forth in subsection (a) of this Section 1004, the Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, incur any Debt if Consolidated Income Available for Debt Service for the Company’s four consecutive fiscal quarters most recently ended before the date on which such additional Debt is to be incurred shall have been less than 1.5 times the Maximum Annual Service Charge on the Debt of the Company and all Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis determined in accordance with GAAP to be outstanding immediately after the incurrence of such additional Debt.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 1005 will not prohibit the payment of any dividend within 30 days of the declaration thereof if at such date of declaration such payment would have complied with the provisions hereof.”

The amendment of Section 1015 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 5. Counterparts. This Fourteenth Supplemental Indenture may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

This Note is one of the duly authorized series of Securities designated as “4.625% Notes Due 2022” (collectively, the “Notes”), and the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be issued under such series is limited to $300,000,000 (except for Notes authenticated and delivered upon transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of other Notes). The Company may, without the consent of the Holders of any Securities, create and issue additional notes in the future having the same terms other than the date of original issuance, the issue price and the date on which interest begins to accrue so as to form a single series with the Notes. No additional notes may be issued if an Event of Default has occurred with respect to the Notes. The Notes are the unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Company and rank equally with all existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company. All terms used but not defined in this Note shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Indenture.

If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

The Company may redeem the Notes at its option, at any time prior to the Maturity Date, in whole or from time to time in part, at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (a) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed and (b) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest through the Maturity Date on the Notes being redeemed (not including the portion of any payments of interest accrued to the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year

A-4

consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points, plus, in each case, any interest accrued but not paid to the Redemption Date; provided however, that if the Company redeems the Notes 90 days or fewer prior to the Stated Maturity Date, the Redemption Price will equal 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus any interest accrued but not paid to the Redemption Date. For the avoidance of doubt, any calculation of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest pursuant to the preceding sentence shall not include interest accrued as of the applicable Redemption Date.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date for the Notes, (i) the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated “H.15(519)” or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which established yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity is within three months before or after the Maturity Date, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue shall be determined and the Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month) or (ii) if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date. The Treasury Rate shall be calculated by the Independent Investment Banker on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date.

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Notes.

“Independent Investment Banker” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers that has been appointed by the Company.

“Comparable Treasury Price” means with respect to any Redemption Date for the Notes (i) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Trustee obtains fewer than five such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., RBS Securities Inc. and UBS Securities LLC and their respective successors and two other nationally recognized investment banking firms that are primary U.S. Government securities dealers in the United States (each, a “Primary Treasury Dealer”) appointed by the Company, provided that prior written notice of the Company’s appointment of such other Primary Treasury Dealers shall be provided to the Trustee; provided, further, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a Primary Treasury Dealer, the Company shall substitute in its place another Primary Treasury Dealer.

A-5

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the Trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m. on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date.

Notice of any redemption will be mailed by first-class mail at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed. If the Company redeems less than all of the Notes, the Trustee will select the particular Notes to be redeemed pro rata, by lot or by another method the Trustee deems fair and appropriate.

This Note is not subject to any sinking fund.

The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance of (i) the entire indebtedness of the Notes or (ii) certain covenants and Events of Default with respect to the Notes, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth therein, which provisions apply to the Notes.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of all Securities issued under the Indenture at the time Outstanding and affected thereby. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, on behalf of the Holders of all such Securities, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture. Furthermore, provisions in the Indenture permit the Holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, in certain instances, to waive, on behalf of all of the Holders of Securities of such series, certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences.
