due 2027, 6.25% Senior Notes due 2037, 4.250% Senior Notes due 2047 and Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2020 (collectively,
the “Senior Notes”) are senior unsecured obligations of the Company, ranking equal in right of payment with the Company’s
existing and future unsubordinated indebtedness. Upon a change‐of‐control repurchase event and a resulting below‐
investment‐grade credit rating, the Company would be required to make an offer to repurchase all outstanding Senior Notes,
with the exception of the 7% Debentures due 2025, at a price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Senior
Notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest.
The Senior Notes are carried net of original issue discount, which is being amortized by the effective interest method over the
life of the issue. With the exception of the Floating Rate Senior Notes, due 2020, the Senior Notes are redeemable prior to their
respective maturity dates at a make‐whole redemption price. The principal amount, effective interest rate and maturity date
for the Senior Notes are as follows:
