Underwriting Agreement (the "Underwriting Agreement"), with Citigroup Global
Markets Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. and
Greenwich Capital Markets, Inc., as representatives of the several underwriters
named therein (the "Underwriters"), in connection with the offer and sale of
$1,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company's 6.15% Senior Notes
due 2019 (the "2019 Notes") and $1,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the
Company's 7.45% Senior Notes due 2039 (the "2039 Notes" and, together with the
2019 Notes, the "Notes"). A copy of the Underwriting Agreement is attached as an
exhibit to this filing and incorporated by reference herein. The description of
the Underwriting Agreement is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of the
Underwriting Agreement.
The Notes were issued under an Indenture, dated as of October 17, 2003 (the
"Base Indenture"), as supplemented with respect to the Notes by the Fifth
Supplemental Indenture (the "Supplemental Indenture" and, together with the Base
Indenture, the "Indenture"), dated as of March 13, 2009, between the Company and
The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as successor trustee to
JPMorgan Chase Bank. The Base Indenture is incorporated by reference herein. A
copy of the Supplemental Indenture is attached as an exhibit to this filing and
incorporated by reference herein.
The Company will pay interest on the Notes of each series on March 15 and
September 15 of each year, beginning on September 15, 2009. The 2019 Notes will
mature on September 15, 2019, and the 2039 Notes will mature on September 15,
2039. The Company may redeem some of the Notes of each series from time to time
or all of the Notes of each series at any time at the redemption prices, plus
accrued and unpaid interest, as set forth in the Supplemental Indenture. The
Notes are the Company's general, senior unsecured indebtedness and rank equally
with all of the Company's existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness. The
Notes will effectively rank junior to any future secured indebtedness of the
Company to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness,
unless and to the extent the Notes are entitled to be equally and ratably
secured.
