Section 2.05. Interest. (a) Interest payable on any Interest Payment Date, the Maturity Date or, if applicable, the Redemption Date, with respect to the Notes shall be the amount of interest accrued from, and including, the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date in respect of which interest has been paid or duly provided for (or from and including the original issue date of August 8, 2013, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for with respect to the Notes) to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date or, if applicable, Redemption Date, as the case may be (each, an “Interest Period”).

(i) 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date; and

(ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest (exclusive of interest accrued to the Redemption Date) 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 plus 35 basis points, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

The Company will mail notice of such redemption to the registered holders of the Notes to be redeemed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date.

The Optional Redemption Price shall be paid prior to 12:00 noon, New York time, on the Redemption Date or at such later time as is then permitted by the rules of the Depositary for the Notes (if then registered as a Global Note); provided, that the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount sufficient to pay the Optional Redemption Price by 10:00 a.m., New York time, on the date such Optional Redemption Price is to be paid. The Trustee shall not be responsible for calculating the Optional Redemption Price.

GUARANTEE

Section 6.01. Security Guarantee. Subject to the provisions of this Article 6, the Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to the Trustee and the holders of the Notes on an unsecured, unsubordinated basis, the full and punctual payment (whether at stated maturity, upon redemption, purchase pursuant to an offer to purchase or acceleration, or otherwise) of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, and all other amounts payable under, each Note, and the full and punctual payment of all other amounts payable by the Company under the Indenture in respect of the Notes (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company’s compensation, indemnification and reimbursement obligations to the Trustee provided in Section 7.06 of the Base Indenture) (the “Guarantee”). Upon failure by the Company to pay punctually any such amount, the Guarantor shall forthwith pay the amount not so paid at the place and in the manner specified in the Indenture.

nonpayment. The Guarantor waives notice of any default under the Notes or the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder. The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder are unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, will not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by:

(a) any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver or release in respect of any obligation of the Company under the Indenture or the Notes, by operation of law or otherwise;

(b) any modification or amendment of or supplement to the Indenture or the Notes;

(c) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of the Company, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting the Company or its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of the Company contained in the Indenture or the Notes;

(d) the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights which the Guarantor may have at any time against the Company, the Trustee or any other Person, whether in connection with the Indenture or any unrelated transactions, provided that nothing herein prevents the assertion of any such claim by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim;

(e) any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against the Company for any reason of the Indenture or the Notes, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by the Company of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note or any other amount payable by the Company under the Indenture; or

(f) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Company, the Trustee or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever which might, but for the provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of or defense to the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder.

Section 6.03. Discharge; Reinstatement. The Guarantor’s obligations hereunder will remain in full force and effect until the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes and all other amounts payable by the Company under the Indenture have been paid in full.

Upon making any payment with respect to any obligation of the Company under this Article 6, the Guarantor will be subrogated to the rights of the payee against the Company with respect to such obligation, provided that the Guarantor may not enforce either any right of subrogation, or any right to receive payment in the nature of contribution, or otherwise, from any other Person who guarantees the Notes, with respect to such payment so long as any amount payable by the Company hereunder or under the Notes remains unpaid.

Section 6.05. Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by the Company under the Notes or the Indenture is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of the Indenture are nonetheless payable by the Guarantor hereunder forthwith on demand by the Trustee or the holders of the Notes.

Section 6.06. Execution and Delivery of a Guarantee. The execution by the Guarantor of this Supplemental Indenture No. 10 evidences the Guarantee of the Guarantor, whether or not the person signing as an officer of the Guarantor still holds that office at the time of authentication of any Note. The delivery of any Note by the Trustee after authentication constitutes due delivery of the Guarantee set forth in this Supplemental Indenture No. 10 on behalf of the Guarantor.

Section 6.07. No Waiver. Neither a failure nor a delay on the part of either the Trustee or the holders of the Notes in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Article 6 shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege. The rights, remedies and benefits of the Trustee and the holders of the Notes herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies or benefits which either may have under this Article 6 at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.
