We may redeem the notes, at our option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, on or after November 20, 2019, at a redemption price equal to 100% principal amount of the notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the date of redemption.
If we elect to redeem the notes, we will provide notice by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the holders of record of the notes to be redeemed. Such mailing will be at least 10 days and not more than 60 days before the date fixed for redemption. Each notice of redemption will state:
| the redemption date; |
| the redemption price; |
| if fewer than all the outstanding notes are to be redeemed, the identification (and in the case of partial redemption, the principal amounts) of the particular notes to be redeemed; |
| CUSIP or ISIN number of the notes to be redeemed; |
| that on the redemption date the redemption price will become due and payable upon each note to be redeemed, and that interest thereon will cease to accrue on and after said date; and |
| the place or places where the notes are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price. |
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the notes are held in book-entry form through The Depository Trust Company, or DTC, we may give such notice in any manner permitted or required by DTC.
In the case of any redemption of only part of the notes at the time outstanding, the notes to be redeemed will be selected not more than 60 days prior to the redemption date by the Trustee by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate.

Validity of the Notes:
Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP, as counsel to the Company, has provided the following opinion to the Company: The notes offered by this pricing supplement have been duly authorized, and when issued by the Company, assuming due authentication thereof by the Trustee or The Bank of New York Mellon, as authenticating agent under the Indenture on behalf of the Trustee, and upon payment and delivery in accordance with the Master Agency Agreement, the notes offered by this pricing supplement will constitute valid and
legally binding obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this paragraph shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the opinion letter of such counsel dated March 14, 2014, which has been included as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K of the Company filed on March 14, 2014. The opinion is subject to (i) the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors rights generally, (ii) general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), and (iii) an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. The opinion also assumes that the Indenture is the valid and legally binding obligation of the Trustee and is subject to customary assumptions as set forth in such opinion letter. Such counsel does not express any opinion concerning any law other than the law of the State of New York and the Delaware General Corporation Law.
