Survivor's Option to Request Repayment
Fol owing the death of the beneficial owner of a note, so long as that note was owned by that beneficial owner or the
estate of that beneficial owner for at least six months prior to the request, if requested by the authorized representative
of the beneficial owner of that note (subject to the limitations described below), we agree to redeem any notes prior to
the stated maturity unless the notes:

·
have been previously redeemed or otherwise repaid, or

·
have been declared due and payable before their stated maturity by reason of an event of default under the 2008
Indenture, as more ful y described in the accompanying prospectus under "Description of Debt Securities We May
Offer Default, Remedies and Waiver of Default".
Upon the valid exercise of the option to request repayment described in the preceding paragraph (Survivor's Option) and
the proper tender of that note for repayment (subject to the limitations described below), we wil redeem that note, in
whole or in part (but in amounts of not less than $1,000), at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the note
plus any unpaid interest accrued to (but excluding) the date of repayment.
Incapital LLC has advised that it intends to make a market in the notes. Depending on market conditions, including
changes in interest rates, and our creditworthiness, the value of the notes may be greater than their principal amount
plus any unpaid interest accrued. Accordingly, the authorized representative should contact Incapital LLC to
determine the market price of the notes and should otherwise carefully consider whether to sell the notes to
Incapital LLC or another market participant rather than redeeming the notes at the principal amount plus
accrued interest pursuant to a request for redemption.
To be valid, the Survivor's Option must be exercised by or on behalf of the person who has:

·
authority to act on behalf of the deceased beneficial owner of the note, including, without limitation, the personal
representative or executor of the deceased beneficial owner or the surviving joint owner with the deceased
beneficial owner, under the laws of the applicable jurisdiction, and

·
the right to sel , transfer or otherwise dispose of an interest in a note and the right to receive the proceeds from the
note, as wel as the principal and interest payable to the holder of the note.
The fol owing wil be deemed the death of a beneficial owner of a note, and the entire principal amount of the note so
held wil be subject to redemption by us upon request (with the limitations described below):

·
death of a person holding a beneficial ownership interest in a note as a joint tenant or tenant by the entirety with
another person, a tenant in common with the deceased holder's spouse or a tenant in common with a person other
than such deceased person's spouse;

·
death of a person who at the time of his or her death was a beneficiary of a revocable or irrevocable trust that
holds a beneficial ownership interest in a note may, in the discretion of the Trustee, be deemed the death of a
beneficial owner of that note, if such beneficial trust interest can be established to the satisfaction of us and the
Trustee; and

·
death of a person who, at the time of his or her death, was entitled to substantial y all of the beneficial ownership
interests in a note regardless of whether that beneficial owner was the registered holder of that note, if entitlement
to those interests can be established to the satisfaction of us and the Trustee.
In addition, a beneficial ownership interest wil be deemed to exist:

·
in typical cases of nominee ownership, ownership under the Uniform Transfers to Minors Act or Uniform Gifts to
Minors Act, community property or other joint ownership arrangements between a husband and wife; and

·
in custodial and trust arrangements where one person has all of the beneficial ownership interests in the applicable
note at the time of his or her death.
We have the discretionary right to limit the aggregate principal amount of notes as to which exercises of the Survivor's
Option shal be accepted by us from authorized representatives:

·
of all deceased beneficial owners in any calendar year to an amount equal to 2% of the principal amount of al
outstanding notes offered of a tranche as of the end of the most recent calendar year (two percent aggregate
limitation); and

·
of any individual deceased beneficial owner of notes to $250,000 in any calendar year ($250,000 limitation).
In addition, we wil not permit the exercise of the Survivor's Option except in principal amounts of $1,000 and integral
multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.
We may, at our option and pursuant to the exercise of the Survivor's Option, redeem interests of any deceased
beneficial owner in the notes of a tranche in any calendar year in excess of the $250,000 limitation. Any optional
redemption by us of this kind, to the extent it exceeds the $250,000 limitation for any deceased beneficial owner, wil not
be included in the computation of the two percent aggregate limitation for redemption of the notes of a tranche for that or
any other calendar year.
We may also, at our option and pursuant to the exercise of the Survivor's Option, redeem interests of deceased
beneficial owners in the notes of a tranche in any calendar year in an aggregate principal amount exceeding the two
percent aggregate limitation. Any optional redemption by us of this kind, to the extent it exceeds the two percent
aggregate limitation, wil not be considered in calculating the two percent aggregate limitation for any other calendar
year.
Furthermore, any optional redemption with respect to a deceased beneficial owner's interest in the notes is inapplicable
with respect to any other deceased beneficial owner's interest in the notes. In other words, we may waive any
applicable limitations with respect to a deceased beneficial owner but not make the same or similar waivers with respect
to other deceased beneficial owners.
Each election to exercise the Survivor's Option wil be accepted in the order that elections are received by the Trustee,
except for any note the acceptance of which would contravene either the two percent aggregate limitation or the
$250,000 limitation. Upon any determination by us to redeem notes in excess of the $250,000 limitation or the two
percent aggregate limitation, notes wil be redeemed in the order of receipt of redemption requests by the Trustee. Each
tendered note that is not accepted in any calendar year due to the application of either the two percent aggregate
limitation or the $250,000 limitation wil be deemed to be tendered in the fol owing calendar year in the order in which al
such notes were original y tendered.
Notes accepted for repayment through the exercise of the Survivor's Option wil be redeemed on the earlier of the
June 15th or December 15th interest payment date that occurs 60 or more calendar days after the date of the
acceptance. For example, if the acceptance date of a note tendered through a valid exercise of the Survivor's Option is
December 1, 2014, and interest on that note is paid monthly on the 15th of every month, we would normally, at our
option, repay that note on the interest payment date occurring on June 15, 2015, because the December 15, 2014
interest payment date would occur less than 60 days from the date of acceptance. Any redemption request may be

referred to as the "participant".

authorized representative must provide the fol owing items to the participant in DTC through which the beneficial interest
in the note is held by the deceased beneficial owner:

·
a written request for redemption signed by the authorized representative of the deceased beneficial owner with the
signature guaranteed by a member firm of a registered national securities exchange or of the Financial Institution
Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA) or a commercial bank or trust company having an office or correspondent in the
United States and a written instruction to notify the Trustee of the authorized representative's desire to obtain
redemption pursuant to exercise of the Survivor's Option;

·
appropriate evidence satisfactory to us and the Trustee:

(a) that the deceased was the beneficial owner of the note at the time of death and his or her interest in the note

was owned by the deceased beneficial owner or his or her estate for at least six months prior to the request
for redemption,

(b) that the death of the beneficial owner has occurred,

(c) of the date of death of the beneficial owner, and

(d) that the representative has authority to act on behalf of the beneficial owner;

·
if applicable, a properly executed assignment or endorsement;

·
tax waivers and any other instruments or documents that we or the Trustee reasonably require in order to establish
the validity of the beneficial ownership of the note and the claimant's entitlement to payment;

exercise of the Survivor's Option or to document beneficial ownership or authority to make the election and to cause
the redemption of the note; and

·
if the interest in the note is held by a nominee of the deceased beneficial owner, a certificate satisfactory to us and
the Trustee from the nominee attesting to the deceased's beneficial ownership of such note.
After the representative provides the information to the participant, the participant wil then deliver each of these items to
the Trustee, and to Goldman, Sachs & Co. in its capacity as administrator of the Survivor's Option on our behalf,
together with evidence satisfactory to us and the Trustee from the participant stating that it represents the deceased
beneficial owner. The participant wil then need to deliver to the Trustee a request for redemption substantial y in the

Al questions regarding the eligibility or validity of any exercise of the Survivor's Option wil be determined by us, in our
sole discretion, which determination wil be final and binding on all parties.
Subject to arrangements with the depositary, payment for interests in the notes to be redeemed wil be made to the
depositary in the aggregate principal amount specified in the redemption requests submitted to the Trustee by the
depositary that are to be fulfil ed in connection with the payment upon presentation of the notes to the Trustee for
redemption.
