We at any time may terminate as to a series of
debt securities all of our obligations (except for certain obligations regarding the defeasance trust and obligations to register the
transfer or exchange of a debt security, to replace destroyed, lost or stolen debt securities and any related coupons and to maintain
agencies with respect to the debt securities) arising under the indenture and the debt securities and coupons of that series. This option
of ours is called a “legal defeasance.” We at any time may terminate as to a series of debt securities, among other obligations,
our obligations arising under the covenant described under “Limitations Upon Liens” above. This option of ours is called
a “covenant defeasance.”

We may exercise our legal defeasance option with
respect to a series of debt securities even if we have previously exercised our covenant defeasance option in regard to that series of
debt securities. If we exercise our legal defeasance option with respect to a series of debt securities, that series may not be accelerated
because of an Event of Default. If we exercise our covenant defeasance option with respect to a series of debt securities, that series
may not be accelerated on the basis of breaches of the defeased covenant.

To exercise either option as to a series of debt
securities, we must deposit in trust with the trustee cash or United States government obligations sufficient to pay the principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on the debt securities of that series at their maturity or redemption and must comply with other specified
conditions. In particular, we must obtain an opinion of tax counsel that the defeasance will not result in recognition for United States
Federal income tax purposes of any gain or loss to holders of the series of debt securities. The opinion of tax counsel, in the case
of legal defeasance, must refer to and be based upon a ruling of the Internal Revenue Service or a change in applicable United States
Federal income tax law occurring after the date of the indenture.

Concerning the Trustee

The Bank of New York Mellon serves as trustee
under the indenture and is the security registrar and paying agent with respect to the debt securities. The indenture provides that,
except during the continuance of an Event of Default, the trustee will perform only such duties as are specifically set forth in the
indenture. During the existence of an Event of Default, the trustee will exercise such rights and powers vested in it under the indenture
and
