THIS THIRD SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE (this “Third Supplemental Indenture”) is entered into as of May 22, 2014 between CAREFUSION CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), and DEUTSCHE BANK TRUST COMPANY AMERICAS, a New York banking corporation, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”).
WHEREAS, the Issuer and the Trustee entered into that certain Indenture, dated as of July 21, 2009 (the “Original Indenture,” as supplemented by this Third Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”), relating to the Issuer’s unsecured debt securities;
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 7.1 of the Original Indenture, the Issuer and the Trustee may enter into supplemental indentures to establish the terms and provisions of one or more series of Securities issued pursuant to the Original Indenture;
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 2.1 of the Original Indenture, the Issuer and the Trustee desire to establish the terms of a series of Securities entitled the “1.450% Senior Notes due 2017” (the “2017 Notes”), a series of Securities entitled the “3.875% Senior Notes due 2024” (the “2024 Notes”) and a series of Securities entitled the “4.875% Senior Notes due 2044” (the “2044 Notes,” the 2017 Notes, the 2024 Notes and the 2044 Notes referred to collectively as the “Notes”); and
WHEREAS, the Issuer has duly authorized the execution and delivery of this Third Supplemental Indenture to establish solely the terms of the Notes set forth herein and has done all things necessary to make this Third Supplemental Indenture a valid and binding agreement of the parties hereto, in accordance with its terms.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, and for the equal and proportionate benefit of the Holders of the Notes, the Issuer and the Trustee hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1
DEFINITIONS
Section 1.1 Definitions.
(a) Capitalized terms used in this Third Supplemental Indenture and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Original Indenture or in the forms of Note attached as exhibits hereto.
(b) The following definitions shall apply to this Third Supplemental Indenture and the Notes:
“Adjusted Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue,
assuming 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.
“Below Investment Grade Rating Event” means the rating of such Notes is lowered below Investment Grade by at least two of the three Rating Agencies on any date from the date of the public notice of an arrangement that could result in a Change of Control until the end of the 60-day period following public notice of the occurrence of a Change of Control (which period shall be extended so long as the rating of the Notes is under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade by any of the Rating Agencies); provided that a Below Investment Grade Rating Event otherwise arising by virtue of a particular reduction in, or termination of, any rating shall not be deemed to have occurred with respect to a particular Change of Control (and thus shall not be deemed a Below Investment Grade Rating Event for purposes of the definition of Change of Control Triggering Event under the Indenture) if the Rating Agency or Rating Agencies ceasing to rate such Notes or making the reduction in rating to which this definition would otherwise apply do not announce or publicly confirm or inform the Trustee in writing at its request that the termination or reduction was the result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, the applicable Change of Control (whether or not the applicable Change of Control shall have occurred at the time of the Below Investment Grade Rating Event).
“Change of Control” means the occurrence of any one of the following: (1) the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole to any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) other than to the Issuer or one of its Subsidiaries; (2) the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) becomes the beneficial owner (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of 50% or more of the total voting power of the Voting Stock of the Issuer or any direct or indirect parent company holding directly or indirectly 100% of the total voting power of the Voting Stock of the Issuer; (3) the Issuer consolidates with, or merges with or into, any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act), or any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) consolidates with, or merges with or into, the Issuer, in any such event pursuant to a transaction in which any of the outstanding Voting Stock of the Issuer or such other “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) is converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property, other than any such transaction where the shares of the Voting Stock of the Issuer outstanding immediately prior to such transaction constitute, or are converted into or exchanged for, a majority of the Voting Stock of the surviving “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) immediately after giving effect to such transaction; or (4) the first day on which a majority of the members of the Issuer’s board of directors are not Continuing Directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed to involve a Change of Control if (i)(A) the Issuer becomes a wholly owned Subsidiary of a holding company; and (B) the holders of the Voting Stock of such holding company immediately following that transaction are substantially the same as the holders of the Voting Stock of the Issuer immediately prior to that transaction; and (ii) pursuant to a transaction in which shares of the Issuer’s Voting Stock outstanding immediately prior to the transaction constitute, or are converted into or exchanged
2

“Change of Control Offer” has the meaning set forth in Section 4.1 hereto.
“Change of Control Payment” has the meaning set forth in Section 4.1 hereto.
“Change of Control Payment Date” has the meaning set forth in Section 4.1 hereto.
“Change of Control Repurchase Event” means the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Below Investment Grade Rating Event.
“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by a Quotation Agent 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 notes of comparable maturity to the remaining terms of such Notes to be redeemed.
“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, (1) the average of five or more Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Quotation Agent obtains fewer than five such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all those quotations received.
“Continuing Directors” means, as of any date of determination, any member of the Issuer’s board of directors who (1) was a member of such board of directors on the first date that any of the Notes were issued or (2) was nominated for election, elected or appointed to such board of directors with the approval of a majority of the directors who were members of such board of directors at the time of such nomination, election or appointment (either by a specific vote or by approval of the proxy statement in which such member was named as a nominee for election as a director, without objection to such nomination).

3
equivalent under any successor rating categories of S&P); or the equivalent investment grade credit rating from any additional Rating Agency or Rating Agencies selected by the Issuer.
“Liens” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 5.1 hereto.

“Redemption Price” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 3.1 hereto.
“Reference Treasury Dealer” means any primary treasury dealer as from time to time selected by the Issuer.

Section 3.9 of the Original Indenture shall be superseded in its entirety by the following language with respect to, and solely for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes; provided that this Section 5.1 shall not become part of the terms of any other series of Securities:
“So long as any of the Notes remain outstanding, the Issuer will not, and it will not permit any Consolidated Subsidiary to, create or assume any Indebtedness for borrowed money that is secured by a mortgage, pledge, security interest or lien (the “Liens”) of or upon
8
Principal Property of the Issuer or any Consolidated Subsidiary, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, or any shares of stock or debt of any Consolidated Subsidiary, without equally and ratably securing the Notes by a lien ranking ratably with and equal to such secured Indebtedness. The foregoing restriction does not apply to:
(a) Liens existing on the date of the Original Indenture;
(b) Liens on any assets of any person existing at the time it becomes a Consolidated Subsidiary, provided that such Lien was not created in contemplation of such person becoming a Consolidated Subsidiary;

(d) Liens securing Indebtedness owed by any Consolidated Subsidiary to the Issuer or to another Consolidated Subsidiary;
(e) Liens on any assets of the Issuer or a Consolidated Subsidiary in favor of the United States of America or any State thereof, or any department, agency or instrumentality or political subdivision of the United States of America or any state thereof, or in favor of any other country, or political subdivision thereof, to secure certain partial, progress, advance or other payments pursuant to any contract, statute, treaty or regulation;
(f) Liens for certain taxes or assessments, landlord’s Liens and Liens and charges incidental to the conduct of the Issuer’s business, or the ownership of the Issuer’s assets which were not incurred in connection with the borrowing of money and which do not, in the Issuer’s opinion, materially impair the use of such assets in the Issuer’s operations or the value of the assets for its purposes;
(g) minor survey exceptions, minor encumbrances, easements or reservations of, or rights of others for, licenses, rights-of-way, sewers, electric lines, telegraph and telephone lines and other similar purposes, or zoning or other restrictions as to the use of real properties or Liens incidental to the conduct of the business of such person or to the ownership of its properties which were not incurred in connection with Indebtedness and which do not in the aggregate materially adversely affect the value of said properties or materially impair their use in the operations of the business of such person;
(h) leases, subleases, licenses or sublicenses granted to others in the ordinary course of business which do not materially interfere with the ordinary conduct of the business of the Issuer or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries;
(i) Liens in favor of the Issuer;
9
(j) any extension, renewal or replacement (or successive extensions, renewals or replacements) in whole or in part, of any Lien referred to above; or
(k) any Lien that would not otherwise be permitted by the foregoing clauses (a) through (j), inclusive, securing Indebtedness which, together with:
(i) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all other Indebtedness of the Issuer and its Consolidated Subsidiaries secured by Liens on Principal Properties which would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions, and
(ii) the aggregate Attributable Debt of sale and lease-back transaction which would be subject to the foregoing restrictions absent this clause, does not exceed the greater of $500.0 million or 15% of Consolidated Net Worth.”
Section 5.2 Limitation on Sale and Lease-Back. Section 3.10 of the Original Indenture shall be superseded in its entirety by the following language with respect to, and solely for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes; provided that this Section 5.2 shall not become part of the terms of any other series of Securities:
“Sale and lease-back transactions (except those transactions involving leases for less than three years) by the Issuer or any Consolidated Subsidiary of Principal Property are prohibited unless:
(a) the Issuer or the Consolidated Subsidiary would be entitled to incur Indebtedness for borrowed money secured by a Lien on the Principal Property to be leased in an amount at least equal to the Attributable Debt with respect to such transaction without equally and ratably securing the Notes;
(b) the proceeds of the sale of the Principal Property to be leased are at least equal to their fair value as determined by the Issuer’s board of directors and the proceeds are applied within 90 days of the date of such transaction to the purchase or acquisition (or, in the case of real property, the construction) of assets or to the retirement (other than at maturity or pursuant to a mandatory sinking fund or redemption provision) of any Indebtedness;
(c) such transaction was entered into prior to the date of the Original Indenture;
(d) such transaction was for the sale and leasing back to the Issuer by any one of its Consolidated Subsidiaries or between Consolidated Subsidiaries; or

The Securities may be issued in one or more series, which different series may be issued in various aggregate principal amounts, may mature at different times, may bear interest (if any) at different rates, may be subject to different redemption provisions (if any), may be subject to different sinking, purchase or analogous funds (if any) and may otherwise vary as in the Indenture provided. This Note is one of a series designated as the 1.450 % Senior Notes due 2017 of the Issuer, limited in initial aggregate principal amount to $300,000,000 (collectively, the “Notes”). The Issuer may, at any time, without notice to or the consent of the holders of the Securities, issue further notes having the same ranking and the same interest rate, maturity and other terms as the Notes (other than the date of issuance and, under certain circumstances, the first interest payment date following the issue date of such further notes). Any such further notes, together with this Note, will form a single series of Securities under the Indenture.
1. | Principal and Interest |
The Notes will mature on May 15, 2017.
In case an Event of Default with respect to the Notes, as defined in the Indenture, shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal hereof may be declared, and upon such declaration shall become, due and payable, in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.
Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 30-day month and a 360-day year.
2. | Amendment; Supplement; Waiver |
The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of all Outstanding Securities of each series affected, at any time and from time to time, enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental to the Indenture for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each such series; provided that no such supplemental indenture shall (a) change the final
A-4
stated maturity of the principal of, or any installment of principal of or interest on, any Security, or reduce the principal amount of any Security or its rate of interest or change the method of calculating the interest rate or reduce any premium payable upon redemption, or change the currency in which payments are made, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or after the final stated maturity of any Security, or (b) reduce the percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, the consent of the Holders of which is required for any supplemental indenture or any waiver of compliance with a provision of the Indenture or any default thereunder and its consequences or reduce the requirements for quorum or voting, without the consent of the Holders of each Security so affected or (c) modify some of the provisions of the Indenture relating to supplemental indentures, waivers of some covenants and waivers of past defaults with respect to the Securities of any series, without the consent of the Holders of each Outstanding Security so affected.
It is also provided in the Indenture that, with respect to certain defaults or Events of Default regarding the Securities of any series, prior to any declaration accelerating the maturity of such Securities, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount Outstanding of the Securities of such series (or, in the case of certain defaults or Events of Default, all or certain series of the Securities) may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series (or all or certain series of the Securities, as the case may be) waive any such past default or Event of Default and its consequences. The preceding sentence shall not, however, apply to a default in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any of the Securities or in respect of a covenant or provision of the Indenture which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of such series affected. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note (unless revoked as provided in the Indenture) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of this Note and any Notes which may be issued in exchange or substitution herefor, irrespective of whether or not any notation thereof is made upon this Note or such other Notes.
3. | Optional Redemption |
Prior to May 15, 2017 (their maturity date), the Notes are redeemable, in whole or, from time to time, in part, at the option of the Issuer at any time, at a redemption price equal to the greater of:
(a) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed; or
(b) as determined by a Quotation Agent, the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the date of redemption on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate, plus 10 basis points;
plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed to the date of redemption.
A-5
Notwithstanding the foregoing, interest that is due on the date fixed for redemption shall be payable to the Holders of the Notes registered as such on the relevant record date.
“Adjusted Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming 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.
“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by a Quotation Agent 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 notes of comparable maturity to the remaining terms of such Notes to be redeemed.
“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, (1) the average of five or more Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Quotation Agent obtains fewer than five such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all those quotations received.
“Quotation Agent” means the Reference Treasury Dealer appointed by the Issuer.
“Reference Treasury Dealer” means any primary treasury dealer as from time to time selected by the Issuer.
“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Issuer, 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 Issuer by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the third Business Day preceding such redemption date.
Notice to holders of Notes to be redeemed will be delivered by first-class mail at least 30 and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. Unless the Issuer defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select, in such manner as it shall deem appropriate and fair, the Notes to be redeemed in whole or in part.
4. | Repurchase at the Option of Holders Upon a Change of Control |
Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Repurchase Event, unless all Notes have been called for redemption pursuant to paragraph 3 of this Note, the Issuer shall make an offer to each Holder of Outstanding Notes to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Notes at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of such Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date of repurchase. “Change of Control Repurchase Event” shall mean the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Below Investment Grade
A-6
Rating Event, as such terms are defined in the Indenture. The offer to repurchase upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event shall be made subject to certain conditions in accordance with the terms specified in the Indenture.
5. | Persons Deemed Owners |
The Issuer, the Trustee and any authorized agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may deem and treat the registered Holder hereof as the absolute owner of this Note (whether or not this Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon) for the purpose of receiving payment of, or on account of, the principal hereof and premium, if any, and subject to the provisions on the face hereof, interest hereon, and for all other purposes, and neither the Issuer nor the Trustee nor any authorized agent of the Issuer or the Trustee, shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
6. | Transfers and Exchanges |
The Security is a Global Security within the meaning of the Indenture hereinafter referred to and is registered in the name of a Depositary or a nominee of a Depositary. This Security is exchangeable for Securities registered in the name of a person other than the Depositary or its nominee only in the limited circumstances described in the Indenture, and may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary.
Transfers and exchanges of the Notes are only available under limited circumstances and are required to be registered in accordance with the Indenture. The Holder may be required, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay certain transfer taxes or similar governmental charges payable in connection therewith as permitted by the Indenture.
7. | Miscellaneous |
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on this Note in the manner, at the respective times, at the rate and in the coin or currency herein prescribed.
No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Issuer in the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto or in any Note, or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, as such, or against any past, present or future stockholder, officer or director, as such, of the Issuer or of any successor, either directly or through the Issuer or any successor, under any rule of law, statute or constitutional provision or by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise, all such liability being expressly waived and released by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof.

4.875% Senior Note due 2044
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of debentures, notes, bonds or other evidences of indebtedness of the Issuer (hereinafter called the “Securities”) of the series hereinafter specified, all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to an indenture dated as of July 21, 2009 (the “Original Indenture”), duly executed and delivered by the Issuer to Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the Third Supplemental Indenture, dated as of May 22, 2014 (the “Third Supplemental Indenture,” together with the Original Indenture, the “Indenture”), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Issuer and the Holders of the Securities. The Securities may be issued in one or more series, which different series may be issued in various aggregate principal amounts, may mature at different times, may bear interest (if any) at different rates, may be subject to different redemption provisions (if any), may be subject to different sinking, purchase or analogous funds (if any) and may otherwise vary as in the Indenture provided. This Note is one of a series designated as the 4.875 % Senior Notes due 2044 of the Issuer, limited in initial aggregate principal amount to $300,000,000 (collectively, the “Notes”). The Issuer may, at any time, without notice to or the consent of the holders of the Securities, issue further notes having the same ranking and the same interest rate, maturity and other terms as the Notes (other than the date of issuance and, under certain circumstances, the first interest payment date following the issue date of such further notes). Any such further notes, together with this Note, will form a single series of Securities under the Indenture.
1. | Principal and Interest |
The Notes will mature on May 15, 2044.
In case an Event of Default with respect to the Notes, as defined in the Indenture, shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal hereof may be declared, and upon such declaration shall become, due and payable, in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.
Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 30-day month and a 360-day year.
2. | Amendment; Supplement; Waiver |
The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of all Outstanding Securities of each series affected, at any time and from time to time, enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental to the Indenture for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each such series; provided that no such supplemental indenture shall (a) change the final
C-4
stated maturity of the principal of, or any installment of principal of or interest on, any Security, or reduce the principal amount of any Security or its rate of interest or change the method of calculating the interest rate or reduce any premium payable upon redemption, or change the currency in which payments are made, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or after the final stated maturity of any Security, or (b) reduce the percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, the consent of the Holders of which is required for any supplemental indenture or any waiver of compliance with a provision of the Indenture or any default thereunder and its consequences or reduce the requirements for quorum or voting, without the consent of the Holders of each Security so affected or (c) modify some of the provisions of the Indenture relating to supplemental indentures, waivers of some covenants and waivers of past defaults with respect to the Securities of any series, without the consent of the Holders of each Outstanding Security so affected.
It is also provided in the Indenture that, with respect to certain defaults or Events of Default regarding the Securities of any series, prior to any declaration accelerating the maturity of such Securities, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount Outstanding of the Securities of such series (or, in the case of certain defaults or Events of Default, all or certain series of the Securities) may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series (or all or certain series of the Securities, as the case may be) waive any such past default or Event of Default and its consequences. The preceding sentence shall not, however, apply to a default in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any of the Securities or in respect of a covenant or provision of the Indenture which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of such series affected. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note (unless revoked as provided in the Indenture) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of this Note and any Notes which may be issued in exchange or substitution herefor, irrespective of whether or not any notation thereof is made upon this Note or such other Notes.
3. | Optional Redemption |
Prior to November 15, 2043 (six months prior to the maturity date), the Notes are redeemable, in whole or, from time to time, in part, at the option of the Issuer at any time, at a redemption price equal to the greater of:
(a) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed; or
(b) as determined by a Quotation Agent, the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the date of redemption on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate, plus 25 basis points;
plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed to the date of redemption.
At any time on or after November 15, 2043 (six months prior to the maturity date), the Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part at any time and from time to time, at the
C-5
option of the Issuer at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest on the amount being redeemed to the date of redemption.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, interest that is due on the date fixed for redemption shall be payable to the Holders of the Notes registered as such on the relevant record date.
“Adjusted Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming 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.
“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by a Quotation Agent 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 notes of comparable maturity to the remaining terms of such Notes to be redeemed.
“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, (1) the average of five or more Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Quotation Agent obtains fewer than five such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all those quotations received.
“Quotation Agent” means the Reference Treasury Dealer appointed by the Issuer.
“Reference Treasury Dealer” means any primary treasury dealer as from time to time selected by the Issuer.
“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Issuer, 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 Issuer by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the third Business Day preceding such redemption date.
Notice to holders of Notes to be redeemed will be delivered by first-class mail at least 30 and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. Unless the Issuer defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select, in such manner as it shall deem appropriate and fair, the Notes to be redeemed in whole or in part.
4. | Repurchase at the Option of Holders Upon a Change of Control |
Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Repurchase Event, unless all Notes have been called for redemption pursuant to paragraph 3 of this Note, the Issuer shall make an offer to each Holder of Outstanding Notes to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Notes at a repurchase price in
C-6
cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of such Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date of repurchase. “Change of Control Repurchase Event” shall mean the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Below Investment Grade Rating Event, as such terms are defined in the Indenture. The offer to repurchase upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event shall be made subject to certain conditions in accordance with the terms specified in the Indenture.
5. | Persons Deemed Owners |
The Issuer, the Trustee and any authorized agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may deem and treat the registered Holder hereof as the absolute owner of this Note (whether or not this Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon) for the purpose of receiving payment of, or on account of, the principal hereof and premium, if any, and subject to the provisions on the face hereof, interest hereon, and for all other purposes, and neither the Issuer nor the Trustee nor any authorized agent of the Issuer or the Trustee, shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
6. | Transfers and Exchanges |
The Security is a Global Security within the meaning of the Indenture hereinafter referred to and is registered in the name of a Depositary or a nominee of a Depositary. This Security is exchangeable for Securities registered in the name of a person other than the Depositary or its nominee only in the limited circumstances described in the Indenture, and may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary.
Transfers and exchanges of the Notes are only available under limited circumstances and are required to be registered in accordance with the Indenture. The Holder may be required, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay certain transfer taxes or similar governmental charges payable in connection therewith as permitted by the Indenture.
7. | Miscellaneous |

No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Issuer in the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto or in any Note, or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, as such, or against any past, present or future stockholder, officer or director, as such, of the Issuer or of any successor, either directly or through the Issuer or any successor, under any rule of law, statute or constitutional provision or by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable
C-7
proceeding or otherwise, all such liability being expressly waived and released by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof.
This Indenture and each Security shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of law principles.
EACH OF THE ISSUER AND THE TRUSTEE HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS INDENTURE, THE SECURITIES OR THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
