IV (together, the "Issuers") agreed to issue and sell to several purchasers, for whom Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. is acting as representative, $800,000,000 aggregate principal amount of their 4 1/2% Senior Notes due 2023 (the "Notes"). The Notes will be sold in a private placement and resold by the initial purchasers to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") and to non-U.S. persons pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act.

The Notes will mature on January 15, 2023 and will accrue interest at a rate of 4 1/2% per year. Interest on the Notes will be payable semi-annually on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on July 15, 2013. The Issuers may redeem some or all of the Notes at any time by paying a make-whole premium, plus accrued an unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date.

If the Issuers or the Company experiences a change of control, the Issuers may be required to offer to purchase the Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the repurchase date.

The Notes are senior obligations of the Issuers and will be unconditionally guaranteed on a senior basis by the Company and each of the Company's present and future U.S. subsidiaries that guarantees obligations under the Company's senior secured credit facilities.
