consolidated, form a single series and be fully fungible with such 4.500% Senior Notes due 2024. The Initial Reopened Notes shall also constitute Additional Notes with respect to the Initial 2024 Notes issued under the Second Supplemental Indenture. Unless otherwise specified herein, the provisions of the Second Supplemental Indenture applicable to 2024 Notes issued thereunder shall apply to the 2024 Notes issued under this Supplemental Indenture. The changes, modifications and supplements to the Base Indenture effected by this Supplemental Indenture shall be applicable only with respect to, and govern the terms of, the 2024 Notes and shall not apply to any other series of Securities that may be issued under the Base Indenture unless a supplemental indenture with respect to such other series of Securities specifically incorporates such changes, modifications and supplements.
(b) The aggregate principal amount of 2024 Notes that initially may be authenticated and delivered under this Supplemental Indenture (the “Initial Reopened Notes”) shall be limited to $150,000,000, subject, in each case, to increase as set forth in Section 3.04 of the Second Supplemental Indenture.
(c) The Stated Maturity of the 2024 Notes shall be March 15, 2024. The 2024 Notes shall be payable and may be presented for payment, purchase, redemption, registration of transfer and exchange, without service charge, at the office of the Company maintained for such purpose in New York, New York, which shall initially be the office or agency of the Trustee.
(d) The 2024 Notes shall bear interest at the rate of 4.500% per annum from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, as further provided in the Form of Note. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months. The Interest Payment Dates for the 2024 Notes shall be March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on March 15, 2016, and the Regular Record Date for any interest payable on each such Interest Payment Date shall be the immediately preceding March 1 and September 1, respectively. If any Interest Payment Date, Stated Maturity or other payment date with respect to the 2024 Notes is not a Business Day, the required payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest will be due on the next succeeding Business Day as if made on the date that such payment was due, and no interest will accrue on that payment for the period from and after that Interest Payment Date, Stated Maturity or other payment date, as the case may be, to the date of that payment on the next succeeding Business Day.
(e) The Initial Reopened Notes will be issued in the form of one or more Global Securities, deposited with the Trustee as custodian for the Depositary or its nominee, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as provided in Section 3.01 and the Second Supplemental Indenture.
