PROCEDURES FOR BOOK-ENTRY NOTES. In connection with the qualification of the Book-Entry Notes for eligibility in the book-entry systems maintained by DTC, Clearstream, Luxembourg and Euroclear, the Trustee will perform the custodial, document control and administrative functions described below, including, (1) in the case of Book-Entry Notes held through DTC (“DTC Book-Entry Notes”), in accordance with its respective obligations under a Letter of Representations from the Company and the Trustee to DTC, dated as of November 24, 2008 (the “Letter of Representations”), and its obligations as a participant in DTC and (2) in the case of Notes held through Clearstream, Luxembourg and/or Euroclear, in its capacity as Common Depositary. Issuance: On any date of settlement (as defined under “Settlement” below) for one or more Book-Entry Notes, the Company will issue a single global security in fully registered form without coupons (a “Global Security”) representing all such Notes that have the same Purchase Price, Settlement Date, Maturity Date, redemption or repayment provisions, Interest Payment Dates, Original Issue Date, original issue discount provisions (if any), and, in the case of Fixed Rate Notes, Interest Rate, modified payment upon acceleration (if any), amortization schedule (if any) or, in the case of Floating Rate Notes, Initial Interest Rate, Interest Payment Dates, Interest Payment Period, Calculation Agent, Base Rate, Index Maturity, Interest Reset Period, Interest Reset Dates, Spread or Spread Multiplier (if any), Alternative Rate Event Spread (if any), Minimum Interest Rate (if any) and Maximum Interest Rate (if any) and, in each case, any other relevant terms (collectively “Terms”). If DTC Book-Entry Notes having an aggregate principal amount in excess of U.S. $500,000,000 would, but for the preceding sentence, be represented by a single Global Security, then one Global Security will be issued to represent each U.S. $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of such DTC Book-Entry Notes and an additional Global Security will be issued to represent any remaining principal amount of such DTC Book-Entry Notes. Each Global Security will be dated and issued as of the date of its authentication by the Trustee. Each Global Security will bear an “Interest Accrual Date,” which will be (i) with respect to an original Global Security (or any portion thereof), its original issuance date and (ii) with respect to any Global Security (or any portion thereof) issued subsequently upon exchange of a Global Security, or in lieu of a destroyed, lost or stolen Global Security, the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for on the predecessor Global Security or Securities (or if no such payment or provision has been made, the original issuance date of the predecessor Global Security), regardless of the date of authentication of such subsequently issued Global Security. No Global Security will represent any Certificated Note. Identification Numbers: DTC Book-Entry Notes. The Company has arranged with the CUSIP Service Bureau of Standard & Poor’s Corporation (the “CUSIP Service Bureau”) for the reservation of a series of approximately 900 CUSIP numbers (including tranche numbers) for assignment to the Global Securities representing the DTC Book-Entry Notes. The Company has obtained from the CUSIP Service Bureau a written list of each series of reserved CUSIP numbers and has delivered to the Trustee and DTC the written list of 900 CUSIP numbers of such series. The Trustee will assign CUSIP numbers to Global Securities as described below under Settlement Procedure “B”. DTC will notify the CUSIP Service Bureau periodically of the CUSIP numbers that the Trustee has assigned to Global Securities. At anytime when fewer than 100 of the reserved CUSIP numbers of either series remain unassigned to Global Securities, the Trustee shall so advise the Company and, if it deems necessary, the Company will reserve additional CUSIP numbers for assignment to Global Securities representing DTC Book-Entry Notes. Upon obtaining such additional CUSIP numbers, the Company shall deliver a list of such additional CUSIP numbers to the Trustee and DTC.
