permitted by this Indenture to be given, made or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as
herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such instrument or instruments (and the action
embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be
sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.01) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company and any agent of the Trustee and the Company, if made in the same manner provided in this Section. 
 The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a
certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him or her the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a
signer acting in a capacity other than his or her individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his or her authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the
authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient. 
 The ownership of
Securities shall be proved by the Security Register.

 The Company may set any day as a record date for
the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series entitled to give, make or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given,
made or taken by Holders of Securities of such series, provided that the Company may not set a record date for, and the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply with respect to, the giving or making of any notice, declaration, request or
direction referred to in the next paragraph. If not set by the Company prior to the first solicitation of a Holder of Securities of such series made by any Person in respect of any such action, or, in the case of any such vote, prior to such vote,
the record date for any such action or vote shall be the 30th day (or, if later, the date of the most recent list of Holders required to be provided
pursuant to Section 7.01) prior to such first solicitation or vote, as the case may be. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on such record date, and no other
Holders, shall be entitled to take the relevant action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date (as
defined below) by Holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Company from setting a new record date for any action for
which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be canceled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to
render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the
Company, at its own expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Trustee in writing and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set
forth in Sections 1.06 and 1.07. 
 The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, set any day as a record date for the purpose of
determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series entitled to join in the giving and making of (a) any Notice of Default, (b) any declaration of acceleration referred to in Section 5.02, (c) any request to institute
proceedings referred to in Section 5.07(2), (d) any direction referred to in Section 5.12 or (e) any waiver of past defaults referred to in Section 5.13, in each case with respect to Securities of such series. If any record
date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or direction, whether or not such Holders remain
Holders after such record date; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on
such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Trustee from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set
shall automatically and with no action by any Person be canceled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Outstanding
Securities of the relevant series on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any 

  

 11 








 
record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee, at the Company’s expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by
Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Company in writing and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Sections 1.06 and 1.07. 
 With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto which sets such record date may designate any day as the “Expiration
Date” and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any earlier or later day; provided that no such change shall be effective unless notice of the proposed new Expiration Date is given to the other party hereto in writing, and to each
Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 1.07, on or prior to the existing Expiration Date. If an Expiration Date is not designated with respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party
hereto which set such record date shall be deemed to have initially designated the 90th day after such record date as the Expiration Date with respect thereto, subject to its right to change the Expiration Date as provided in this paragraph.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Expiration Date shall be later than the 90th day after the applicable record date. 
 Without limiting the
foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to take any action hereunder with regard to any particular Security may do so with regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such Security or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do
so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such principal amount. 
 SECTION 1.06. NOTICES TO TRUSTEE AND COMPANY. 
 Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be
made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with: 
 (1) the Trustee by any Holder or by the Company shall be sufficient for
every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished, or filed in writing to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, Attention: Corporate Trust Division, or if sent by facsimile transmission, to a facsimile number provided by the Trustee,
with a copy mailed, first class postage prepaid to the Trustee addressed to it as provided above; and 
 (2) the Company by
the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Company addressed to it at the address of its principal office
specified in the first paragraph of this instrument or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company, Attention: Chief Financial Officer, or if sent by facsimile transmission, to a facsimile number provided to
the Trustee by the Company, with a copy mailed, first class postage prepaid, to the Company addressed to it as provided above.

 12 








 SECTION 1.07. NOTICE TO HOLDERS; WAIVER. 
 Any notice or communication given to a Holder of Securities shall be mailed to such Securityholder at the Securityholder’s address as it appears on the registration books of the Security Registrar and shall be
sufficiently given if so mailed within the time prescribed for the giving of such notice. 
 Where this Indenture provides for notice in any
manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but
such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver. If a notice or communication is mailed in the manner provided above, it is duly given, whether or not received by the addressee.

 If the Company mails a notice or communication to the Holders of Securities of a particular series, it shall mail a copy to the Trustee
and each Security Registrar, co-registrar or Paying Agent, as the case may be, with respect to such series. 
 In case by reason of the
suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give notice to Holders of Securities by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the acceptance of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient
notification for every purpose hereunder. In any case where notice to Holders of Securities is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder of a Security shall affect the
sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders of Securities. 
 SECTION 1.08. CONFLICT WITH TRUST INDENTURE ACT. 
 If any provision of this Indenture limits, qualifies or conflicts with a provision of the TIA which is required under the TIA to be a part of and govern
this Indenture, the required provision shall control. If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act which may be so modified or excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to apply to this
Indenture as so modified or to be excluded, as the case may be. 
 SECTION 1.09. EFFECT OF HEADINGS AND TABLE OF CONTENTS. 
 The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof. 
 SECTION 1.10. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. 
 All covenants and
agreements of the Company in this Indenture and the Securities shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. All agreements of the Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.

 SECTION 1.11. SEPARABILITY CLAUSE. 
 In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Securities shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or
impaired thereby. 
 SECTION 1.12. BENEFITS OF INDENTURE. 
 Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, the holders of Senior Indebtedness, any Paying Agent and any
Security Registrar and their successors hereunder and the Holders of Securities, any benefits or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture. 
 SECTION 1.13. GOVERNING LAW. 
 This Indenture and the Securities shall be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof other than Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law. 
 SECTION 1.14. LEGAL HOLIDAYS. 
 A “Legal Holiday” is any day other than a Business Day. If any
specified date (including an Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity of any Security, or a date for giving notice) is a Legal Holiday at any Place of Payment or place for giving notice, then (notwithstanding any other provision of
this Indenture or of the Securities other than a provision in the Securities of any series which specifically states that such provision shall apply in lieu of this Section) payment of interest or principal or premium, if any, need not be made at
such Place of Payment, or such other action need not be taken, on such date, but the payment or action shall be taken on the next succeeding day that is not a Legal Holiday at such Place of Payment with the same force and effect as if made on the
Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date, or at the Stated Maturity; provided that no interest or original issue discount shall accrue for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity, as the case may be.

 SECTION 1.15. NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. 
 No
director, officer, employee, incorporator or shareholder of the Company, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Securities or this Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such
obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Securities by accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability to the extent permitted by applicable law. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Securities.

authentication and delivery of such Securities; and the Trustee in accordance with such Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities; provided, however, that, with respect to Securities of a series subject to a Periodic Offering,
(1) such Company Order may be delivered by the Company to the Trustee prior to the delivery to the Trustee of such Securities for authentication and delivery, (2) the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver Securities of such series for
original issue from time to time, in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding the aggregate principal amount established for such series, pursuant to a Company Order or pursuant to such procedures acceptable to the Trustee as may be specified

Section 6.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating:

Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity
principles; 
  

 27 








 provided, however, that, with respect to Securities of a series subject to a Periodic Offering, the Trustee shall be
entitled to receive such Opinion of Counsel only once at or prior to the time of the first authentication of Securities of such series and that the Opinion of Counsel above may state: 
 (x) that the forms of such Securities have been, and the terms of such Securities (when established in accordance with such procedures as
may be specified from time to time in a Company Order all as contemplated by and in accordance with a Board Resolution or an Officers’ Certificate pursuant to Section 3.01, as the case may be) will have been, duly authorized by the Company
and established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and 
 (y) that such Securities when (i) executed by
the Company, (ii) completed, authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in accordance with this Indenture, and (iii) issued and delivered by the Company and paid for in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of
Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to customary exceptions. 
 With respect to Securities of a series subject to a Periodic Offering, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the authorization by the Company of any of such Securities, the form and terms thereof and the legality,
validity, binding effect and enforceability thereof, upon the Opinion of Counsel and other documents delivered pursuant to Sections 2.01 and 3.01 and this Section, as applicable, at or prior to the time of the first authentication of Securities of
such series unless and until it has received written notification that such opinion or other documents have been superseded or revoked. In connection with the authentication and delivery of Securities of a series subject to a Periodic Offering, the
Trustee shall be entitled to assume that the Company’s instructions to authenticate and deliver such Securities do not violate any rules, regulations or orders of any governmental agency or commission having jurisdiction over the Company.

 Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.01 and of the third paragraph of this Section 3.03, if all Securities of a series
are subject to a Periodic Offering, it shall not be necessary to deliver the Board Resolution and Officers’ Certificate otherwise required pursuant to Section 3.01 or the Company Order and Opinion of Counsel otherwise required pursuant to
such preceding paragraph at or prior to the time of authentication of each Security of such series if such documents are delivered at or prior to the authentication of the first Security of such series to be issued. 
 Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. 
 No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for
herein duly executed by the Trustee by manual signature of an authorized signatory, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.
The Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be in substantially the form set forth in Section 2.05.

 Each Depositary designated for a Global Security in registered form must, at the time of its designation
and at all times while it serves as Depositary, be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and any other applicable statute or regulation. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for
cancellation as provided in Section 3.09 together with a written statement (which need not comply with Section 1.03 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) stating that such Security has never been issued and sold by the
Company, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. 
 SECTION 3.04. TEMPORARY SECURITIES. 
 Pending the preparation
of definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed, photocopied or otherwise produced,
in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Securities
may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities. Any such temporary Securities may be in global form, representing such of the Outstanding Securities of such series as shall be specified therein. 
 If temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities of that series to be prepared without unreasonable delay.
After the preparation of definitive Securities of such series, the temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities of such series upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such series at the office or agency
of the Company in a Place of Payment for that series, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any series, the Company shall execute and (in accordance with a Company Order delivered at
or prior to the authentication of the first definitive Security of such series) the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor one or more definitive Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor
and aggregate principal amount. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series and tenor. 
 Any temporary Global Security and any permanent Global Security shall, unless otherwise provided therein, be delivered to DTC or another Depositary
designated pursuant to Section 3.01. 
  

 29 








 SECTION 3.05. REGISTRATION; REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE. 
 The Company shall cause to be kept at an office a register (the register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency of the Company in a
Place of Payment being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Securities and of
transfers of Securities. The Trustee is hereby initially appointed “Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering Securities and transfers of Securities as herein provided. 
 Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security at the office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 10.02 for such
purpose in a Place of Payment, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of any authorized denomination or denominations of a like
Stated Maturity and of a like series and aggregate principal amount and tenor. 
 At the option of the Holder, Securities of any series may
be exchanged for other Securities of the same series of any authorized denomination or denominations, of a like Stated Maturity and of a like series and aggregate principal amount and tenor, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such
office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 
 All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same
debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 
 Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee for such Securities shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 

Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly
endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. 
 No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 3.04, 9.06 or 12.07 not involving any transfer. 
 The Company may but shall not be required (a) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange Securities of any series (or of that series and
specified tenor, as the case may be) during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities of that series selected for redemption under Section 12.03 and ending at the
close of business on the day of such mailing, or (b) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part. 
  

 30 








 The provisions of Clauses (1), (2), (3), (4) and (5) below shall apply only to Global
Securities: 
 (1) Each Global Security authenticated under this Indenture shall be registered in the name of the Depositary
designated for such Global Security or a nominee thereof and delivered to such Depositary or a nominee thereof or custodian therefor, and each such Global Security shall constitute a single Security for all purposes of this Indenture. 
 (2) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section or Sections 3.03 and 3.04, unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part
for Securities in definitive form, a Global Security representing all or a portion of the Securities of a series may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary for such series to a nominee of such Depositary or by a nominee of such
Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or by such Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary for such series or a nominee of such successor Depositary. 
 (3) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, no Global Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for Securities
registered, and no transfer of a Global Security in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof unless (a) such Depositary has notified the Company that
it is unwilling, unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and the Company has not appointed a successor within 90 days after such notification, (b) the
Company executes and delivers to the Trustee a Company Order that such Global Security shall be so exchangeable, subject to such Depositary’s procedures, (c) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to
such Global Security or (d) there shall exist such circumstances, if any, in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as have been specified for this purpose as contemplated by Section 3.01. 
 (4) Subject to Clause (2) above, any exchange of a Global Security for other Securities may be made in whole or in part, and all
Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security or any portion thereof shall be registered in such names as the Depositary for such Global Security shall direct. 
 (5) Every Security authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Security or
any portion thereof, whether pursuant to this Section, Section 3.04, 3.06, 9.06, or 12.07 or otherwise, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Security, unless such Security is registered in the name of a
Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof. 
  

 31 








 SECTION 3.06. MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST AND STOLEN SECURITIES. 
 If (a) any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, or (b) the Company and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the
destruction, loss or theft of any Security, and there is delivered to the Company and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to
the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide or protected purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon the Company’s written request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for any such
mutilated Security or in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount and of a like Stated Maturity, bearing a number not contemporaneously Outstanding. 
 In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may,
instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security. 
 Upon the issuance of any new Securities under this Section, the Company may require
the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. 
 Every new Security of any series issued pursuant to this Section in exchange for any mutilated Security or in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen
Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and any such new Security shall be entitled to all
benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of that series duly issued hereunder. 
 The
provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities. 
 SECTION 3.07. PAYMENT OF INTEREST; INTEREST RIGHTS PRESERVED. 
 Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.01 with respect to any series of Securities, interest on any Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to
the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest payment. 
  


 32 








 Any interest on any Security of any series which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided
for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may
be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (1) or (2) below: 
 (1) The Company may
elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such
Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security of that series and the date of the proposed payment, and at
the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money in the currency or currency unit in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01) for the Securities of such
series equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in
trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this Clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less
than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and
at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of Securities of that series at his or her address as
it appears in the Security Register, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid
to the Persons in whose names the Securities of that series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following Clause (2).

 (2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Securities of any particular series in any other lawful
manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment
pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. 
 Subject to the foregoing provisions of this
Section and Section 3.05, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried
by such other Security. 
  

 33 








 SECTION 3.08. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. 
 Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Security is registered as the owner of
such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of, premium, if any, and (except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 and subject to Section 3.05 and Section 3.07) interest on such Security and for
all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 No holder of any beneficial interest in any Global Security held directly or indirectly on its behalf by a Depositary (or its nominee) shall have any
rights under this Indenture with respect to such Global Security or any Security represented thereby, and such Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Trustee, and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the owner of such Global Security or
any Security represented thereby for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Global Security, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee, or any agent of the Company or the Trustee, from giving effect
to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by a Depositary or impair, as between a Depositary and such holders of beneficial interests in the Securities, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the
rights of the Depositary (or its nominees) as Holder of any Security. 
 SECTION 3.09. CANCELLATION. 
 All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange, or for credit against any sinking fund payment, shall, if
surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly canceled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously
authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever (including Securities received by the Company in exchange or payment for other Securities of the Company) and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any
other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold, and all Securities so delivered to the Trustee shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee. The
Company may not reissue, or issue new Securities to replace, Securities it has paid for or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities canceled as provided in this
Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Securities held by the Trustee shall be disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its customary procedures and the Trustee shall deliver a certificate of such disposition to
the Company upon receipt of a request therefor. 
  

 34 








 SECTION 3.10. COMPUTATION OF INTEREST. 
 Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of any series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

 SECTION 3.11. CUSIP AND ISIN NUMBERS. 
 The
Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” or “ISIN” numbers or both numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use such “CUSIP” or “ISIN” numbers or both numbers in notices of
redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance
may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the
“CUSIP” or “ISIN” numbers of the Securities. 
 ARTICLE FOUR 
 SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE 
 SECTION 4.01. SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE. 
 This Indenture shall upon Company Request cease to be of further effect (except as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of
Securities herein expressly provided for with respect to the Securities of any series), and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to the
Securities of any series, when: 
 (1) either 
 (a) all Securities of that series theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (i) Securities which have been mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 3.06 and (ii) Securities of that series for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company
and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 10.03) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or 
 (b) all such Securities of that series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation 
 (i) have become due and payable, or 
 (ii) will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year, or 
  

 35 








 (iii) are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to
the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company, 
 and the Company, in the
case of (i), (ii) or (iii) above, has irrevocably deposited or caused to be irrevocably deposited with the Trustee, as trust funds in trust for the purpose, Cash, U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, in an amount
sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Securities of that series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal and any premium and interest to the date of such deposit (in the case of Securities of
that series which have become due and payable) or to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be; 
 (2) the
Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company relating to that series of Securities; and 
 (3) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect
to such series of Securities have been complied with. 
 Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the obligations of
the Company to the Trustee under Sections 6.07 and 14.05, the obligations of the Company to any Authenticating Agent under Section 6.14 and, if Cash, U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, shall have been deposited with the
Trustee pursuant to subclause (b) of clause (1) of this Section, the obligations of the Trustee under Section 4.02 and the last paragraph of Section 10.03 shall survive. 
 SECTION 4.02. APPLICATION OF TRUST MONEY. 
 Subject to the
provisions of the last paragraph of Section 10.03, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.01 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities and this Indenture, to the
payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal and any premium and interest for whose payment such money has
been deposited with, or received by, the Trustee. 
  

 36 








 ARTICLE FIVE 
 REMEDIES

 “Event of Default,” wherever used herein with respect to Securities of any series, means any one of the following events and such other events as may be established with respect to the Securities of such
series as contemplated by Section 3.01 (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be occasioned by the provisions of Article Eleven, or be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any
judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body): 
 (1)
Default in the payment of any interest upon any Security of that series when it becomes due and payable, and continuance of such Default for a period of 30 days; 
 (2) Default in the payment of principal of or any premium on any Security of that series at its Maturity; 
 (3) Default in the deposit of any sinking fund payment, when and as due by the terms of a Security of that series, and continuance of such
Default for a period of 30 days; 
 (4) failure by the Company to comply with its obligations under Article Eight; 

(5) Default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant or warranty of the Company in this Indenture or the Securities (other than a
covenant or warranty whose performance or breach is elsewhere in this Section specifically dealt with or which has expressly been included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of Securities other than that series), and continuance of such
Default or breach for a period of 90 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of that series a written notice specifying such Default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder; 
 (6) the Company pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law: 
 (a) commences a voluntary case or proceeding; 
 (b) consents to the entry of a judgment, decree or order for relief against it in an involuntary case or proceeding; 
  

 37 








 (c) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for any substantial part of its
property; 
 (d) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; 
 (e) consents to or acquiesces in the institution of a bankruptcy or an insolvency proceeding against it; 
 (f) takes any corporate action to authorize or effect any of the foregoing; or

 (c) orders the winding up or liquidation of the Company; and 
 (d) in each case the order, decree or relief remains unstayed and in effect for 60 days; or 
 (8) any other Event of Default provided with respect to Securities of that series. 
 SECTION 5.02. ACCELERATION OF MATURITY; RESCISSION AND ANNULMENT. 
 If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(6) or 5.01(7) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Company, or the
Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare the principal amount of (or, if any of the Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount
Securities, such portion of the principal amount of such Securities as may be specified in the terms thereof) all the Securities of that series to be immediately due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal (or portion thereof) together
with accrued interest and all other amounts owing hereunder, shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(6) or 5.01(7) occurs, the principal amount (or portion thereof) and accrued interest of all the
Securities of each series then outstanding shall become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Securityholders. 
  

 38 








 At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to Outstanding Securities of any series
has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that
series, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

sufficient to pay: 
 (a) all overdue interest on all Securities of that series, 
 (b) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Securities of that series which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of
acceleration and any interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, 
 (c) to the extent that
payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and 
 (d) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel; and 
 (2) all Events of Default with respect to Securities of that series, other than the non-payment of the principal of Securities of that
series which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.13. 
 No such rescission
shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 The Trustee shall have no obligations or liability for failure
to act in connection with any Event of Default not actually known to a Responsible Officer. 
 SECTION 5.03. COLLECTION OF INDEBTEDNESS AND SUITS FOR
ENFORCEMENT BY TRUSTEE. 
 The Company covenants that if: 
 (1) Default is made in the payment of any interest on any Security when such interest becomes due and payable and such Default continues
for a period of 30 days, or 
 (2) Default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security at
the Maturity thereof, 

  

 39 








 
then the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and
payable on such Securities for principal and any premium and interest and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal and premium and on any overdue interest, at the rate or rates
prescribed therefor in such Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and
counsel. 
 If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion
proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such right, whether for the specific
enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy. 
 SECTION 5.04. TRUSTEE MAY FILE PROOFS OF CLAIM. 
 In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relating to the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities, or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee shall be
entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to take any and all actions authorized under the Trust Indenture Act in order to have claims of the Holders and the Trustee allowed in any such proceeding. In particular, the
Trustee shall be authorized to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official
in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it
for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.07. 
 No provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding; provided, however, that the Trustee
may, on behalf of the Holders, vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a creditors’ or other similar committee. 
 SECTION 5.05. TRUSTEE MAY ENFORCE CLAIMS WITHOUT POSSESSION OF SECURITIES. 
 All rights of action and claims
under this Indenture or the Securities may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee
shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of 

  

 40 








 
judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel,
be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such judgment has been recovered. 
 SECTION 5.06. APPLICATION OF MONEY
COLLECTED. 
 Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article with respect to the Securities of a series shall be applied in the
following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal or any premium or interest, upon presentation of the Securities and the notation thereon of the payment if only
partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid: 
 First: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.07;

 Second: Subject to Article Eleven, to the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of any premium and interest on the
Securities in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money had been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Securities for principal, and any premium and interest,
respectively; and 
 Third: The balance, if any, to the Company. 
 SECTION 5.07. LIMITATION ON SUITS. 
 No Holder of any Security of any series shall have any right to
institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless 
 (1) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of that
series; 
 (2) the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series
shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder; 
 (3) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request; 
 (4) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding;
and 
 (5) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series; 
  

 41 








 it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by
virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right
under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all of such Holders of Securities of that series. 
 SECTION 5.08. RIGHTS OF HOLDERS TO RECEIVE PRINCIPAL, PREMIUM AND INTEREST. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture,
the right, which is absolute and unconditional, of any Holder of any Security to receive payment of the principal of and (subject to Section 3.07) interest and premium, if any, on such Security on the Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in
such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Securities or any Redemption Date, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after
such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected adversely without the consent of each such Holder. 
 SECTION 5.09. RESTORATION OF RIGHTS AND
REMEDIES. 
 If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such
proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders
shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted. 
 SECTION 5.10. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. 
 Except as
otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of Section 3.06, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or the Holders is
intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity
or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 
 SECTION 5.11. DELAY OR OMISSION NOT WAIVER. 
 No delay or
omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Securities to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every
right and 

  

 42 








 
remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the
Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be. 
 SECTION 5.12. CONTROL BY HOLDERS. 
 The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series shall have the right to direct the time, method and
place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Securities of such series, provided that: 
 (1) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, and 
 (2) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction. 
 SECTION 5.13. WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS. 
 The Holders of not
less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series that would be affected by such a default (voting as one class) may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series, waive any past Default
hereunder with respect to such series and its consequences, except a Default: 
 (1) in the payment of the principal of or any
premium or interest on any Security of such series, or 
 (2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under
Article Nine cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of such series affected. 
 Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default
or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 SECTION 5.14. UNDERTAKING FOR COSTS. 
 In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any
party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the
merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 5.14 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 5.07 or 5.08 or a suit by Holders of more than l0% in aggregate
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series.

 The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or
take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do
so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it shall not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the
execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.

of a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Security of such series or in the payment of any sinking fund installment with respect to Securities of such series, the Trustee shall be

 48 








 This section shall survive the discharge of the Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee.

 SECTION 6.08. CONFLICTING INTERESTS. 
 If the
Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the
provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture. To the extent permitted by such Act, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have a conflicting interest by virtue of being a trustee under this Indenture with respect to Securities of more than
one series, nor shall it be subject to disqualification if the Company has sustained the burden of proving, upon application to the Commission and after opportunity for hearing thereon, that the conflicting interest in question is not so likely to
involve a material conflict of interest as to make it necessary in the public interest or for the protection of investors to disqualify the Trustee from acting hereunder. 
 SECTION 6.09. CORPORATE TRUSTEE REQUIRED; ELIGIBILITY. 
 There shall at all times be one (and only one)
Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of each series, which may be Trustee hereunder for Securities of one or more other series. Each Trustee shall be a Person that is eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act as such and has a
combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If any such Person files reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of its supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section and to the
extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, the combined capital and surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so filed. If at any time the Trustee with respect
to the Securities of any series shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article. 
 SECTION 6.10. RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL; APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR. 
 No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements
of Section 6.11. 
 The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of one or more series by giving written notice
thereof to the Company. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 6.11 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series. 
  

 49 








 The Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the Securities of any series by Act of the Holders
of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, delivered to the Trustee and to the Company. 
 If
at any time: 
 (1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 6.08, or 
 (2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 6.09 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company
or by any such Holder, or 
 (3) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent or a
receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, 
 then, in any such case, (a) the Company by a Company Order may remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities, or (b) subject to Section 5.14, any
Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all Securities and
the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees. If an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 6.11 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of removal, the
Trustee being removed may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series. 
 If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, with respect to the Securities of one or more series, the Company, by a
Company Order, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all
of such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any particular series) and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 6.11. If, within one year after such resignation, removal
or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall have not been appointed by the Company pursuant to Section 6.10, then a successor Trustee may be appointed by Act of the
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee. If no successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by
the Company or the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 6.11, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly
situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series. 
  

 50 








 The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to the
Securities of any series and each appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series to all Holders of Securities of such series in the manner provided in Section 1.07. Each notice shall include the name of the
successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and the address of its Corporate Trust Office. 
 SECTION 6.11. ACCEPTANCE OF APPOINTMENT BY
SUCCESSOR. 
 In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to all Securities, every such successor Trustee so
appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee,
without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of all
amounts due and owing to the retiring Trustee, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee
all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder. 
 In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect
to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each
successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (a) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the
retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (b) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall contain such provisions as
shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be
vested in the retiring Trustee, and (c) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood
that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder
administered by any other such Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Trustee,
without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee
relates; but, on request of the Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities
of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates. 
 Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the
Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in the first or second preceding paragraph, as the case may be. 

 

 51 








 No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor
Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article. 
 SECTION 6.12. MERGER, CONVERSION, CONSOLIDATION OR SUCCESSION TO BUSINESS. 
 Any Corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Corporation resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any Corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such Corporation
shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the
Trustee or the Authentication Agent for such series then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee or Authentication Agent, as the case may be, may adopt such authentication and deliver the
Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee or successor Authentication Agent had itself authenticated such Securities. 
 SECTION 6.13. PREFERENTIAL COLLECTION OF CLAIMS AGAINST COMPANY. 
 If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the
Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities), the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the Company (or any such other obligor). A Trustee who has resigned or been
removed shall be subject to Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act to the extent provided therein. 
 SECTION 6.14. APPOINTMENT OF AUTHENTICATING
AGENT. 
 At any time when any of the Securities of any series remain Outstanding, the Trustee, with the concurrence of the Company, may
appoint an Authenticating Agent or Authenticating Agents with respect to one or more series of Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series issued upon original issue, and upon
exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 3.06, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if
authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include
authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall
at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and
surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or 

  

 52 








 
examination by federal, state or District of Columbia authority. If such Authenticating Agent files reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law
or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most
recent report of condition so filed. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified
in this Section. 
 Any Corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or
any Corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any Corporation succeeding to the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue
to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such Corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent. 
 An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate
the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall
cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall give written notice of such appointment in the manner provided in
Section 1.07 to all Holders of Securities of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers
and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section. 
 The Company agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section. 
  

 53 








 If an appointment with respect to one or more series is made pursuant to this Section, the Securities of
such series may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternative certificate of authentication in the following form:

this Indenture or enter into one or more indentures supplemental hereto, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, for any of the following purposes: 
 (1) to evidence the succession of another Corporation to the Company and the assumption by any such successor of the obligations of the Company herein and in the Securities; or 
  

 56 








 (2) to add to the covenants for the benefit of the Holders of all or any series of
Securities (and if such covenants are to be for the benefit of less than all series of Securities, stating that such covenants are expressly being included solely for the benefit of such series) or to surrender any right or power herein conferred
upon the Company; or 
 (3) to add any additional Events of Default for the benefit of the Holders of all or any series of
Securities (and if such additional Events of Default are to be for the benefit of less than all series of Securities, stating that such additional Events of Default are expressly being included solely for the benefit of such series); or 

(4) to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture to such extent as shall be necessary to permit or facilitate the
issuance of Securities in bearer form, registrable or not registrable as to principal, and with or without interest coupons, or to permit or facilitate the issuance of Securities in uncertificated form; or 
 (5) to add to, change or eliminate any of the provisions of this Indenture in respect of one or more series of Securities, provided that
any such addition, change or elimination (a) shall neither (i) apply to any Security of any series created prior to the execution of such supplemental indenture and entitled to the benefit of such provision nor (ii) modify the rights
of the Holder of any such Security with respect to such provision or (b) shall become effective only when there is no such Security Outstanding; or 
 (6) to secure the Securities; or 
 (7) to establish the form or terms of Securities of any
series as permitted by Sections 2.01 and 3.01; or 
 (8) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder

one Trustee, pursuant to the requirements of Section 6.11; or 
 (9) to comply with any requirement of the Commission in
connection with the qualification of this Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act; or 
 (10) to cure any ambiguity, to
correct or supplement any provision herein which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision herein, or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Indenture, provided that such action pursuant
to this Clause (10) shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of Securities of any series in any material respect. 
  

 57 








 After an amendment or supplement under this Section becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the
Securityholders of the series affected thereby a notice briefly describing such amendment or supplement. The failure to give such notice to all Securityholders of such series, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an
amendment or supplement under this Section. 
 SECTION 9.02. SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES WITH CONSENT OF HOLDERS. 
 With the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities (including, without limitation,
consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Securities) of each series affected by such supplemental indenture (each series voting together as one class), by Act of said Holders delivered to the Company
and the Trustee, the Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee, when requested by a Company Request, may enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto or amend this Indenture for the purpose of adding any provisions
to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series under this Indenture and, subject to Section 5.13, any past default or
compliance with any provisions of this Indenture with respect to a particular series of Securities may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities (including, without limitation,
consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Securities) of such series (such series voting as a single class). However, no such supplemental indenture, amendment or waiver shall, without the consent of
the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby, 
 (1) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any
installment of principal of or interest on, any Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof or the rate of interest thereon or any premium payable upon the redemption thereof, or reduce the amount of the principal of an Original Issue Discount
Security or any other Security which would be due and payable upon a declaration of acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 5.02, or change any Place of Payment where, or the coin or currency in which, any Security or any
premium or interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the Stated Maturity thereof (or, in the case of redemption or repayment, on or after the Redemption Date or any
repayment date); or 
 (2) reduce the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series,
the consent of whose Holders is required for any such supplemental indenture or amendment, or the consent of whose Holders is required for any waiver (of compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture or certain Defaults hereunder and their
consequences) provided for in this Indenture; or 
 (3) impair any right (if provided for in Section 3.01) of a Holder to
exchange or convert Securities for or into other securities; or 
  

 58 








 (4) add any provisions providing for the subordination of the Securities; or 

(5) modify any of the provisions of this Section, Section 5.13 or Section 9.01, except to increase any such percentage or to
provide that certain other provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby; provided, however, that this clause shall not be deemed to require the consent of
any Holder with respect to changes in the references to “the Trustee” and concomitant changes in this Section and Section 9.01, or the deletion of this proviso, in accordance with the requirements of Sections 6.11 and 9.01(8); or

 (6) modify any of the provisions of Article Eleven. 
 A supplemental indenture which changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Securities, or which
modifies the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series with respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture of the Holders of Securities of any other series. 
 It shall not be necessary for any Act of Holders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, waiver or supplemental
indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof. A consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver under this Indenture by any Holder of a particular series of Securities given in connection with a tender or
exchange of such Holder’s Securities will not be rendered invalid by such tender or exchange. 
 After an amendment or supplement under
this Section becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Securityholders of the series affected thereby a notice briefly describing such amendment or supplement. The failure to give such notice to all Securityholders of such series, or any
defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment or supplement under this Section. 
 SECTION 9.03. EXECUTION OF SUPPLEMENTAL
INDENTURES. 
 In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the
modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 6.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel and Officer’s Certificate stating that
the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture which affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties, privileges,
protections, benefits or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. 
  

 59 








 SECTION 9.04. EFFECT OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES. 
 Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article, this Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such supplemental
indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder of Securities theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby. 
 SECTION 9.05. CONFORMITY WITH TRUST INDENTURE ACT. 
 Every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this
Article shall conform to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act. 
 SECTION 9.06. REFERENCE IN SECURITIES TO SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES. 
 Securities of any series authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article may, and shall if required
by the Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Company shall so determine, new Securities of any series so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee
and the Company, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Securities of such series. 
 SECTION 9.07. REVOCATION AND EFFECT OF CONSENTS AND WAIVERS. 
 A consent to an amendment, supplement or a waiver by a Holder of a Security shall bind the Holder and every subsequent Holder of that Security or portion of the Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security,
even if notation of the consent or waiver is not made on the Security. Any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent or waiver as to such Holder’s Security or portion of the Security if the Trustee receives a written notice of
revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective or otherwise in accordance with any related solicitation documents. After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Securityholder
unless it makes a change described in any of clauses (1) through (5) of Section 9.02, in which case the amendment, supplement, waiver or other action shall bind each Securityholder who has consented to it and every subsequent
Securityholder that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Securities. An amendment, supplement or waiver shall become effective upon receipt by the Trustee of the requisite number of written consents under Section 9.02.

 The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Securityholders entitled to give
their consent or take any other action described in Section 9.02 above or required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were
Securityholders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent previously given or to take any such action, whether or not such Persons continue to be
Holders after such record date.

 ARTICLE TEN 
 COVENANTS 
 SECTION 10.01. PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL, PREMIUM AND INTEREST. 
 The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Holders of each series of Securities that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of and any
premium and interest on the Securities of that series in accordance with the terms of the Securities and this Indenture. In the absence of contrary provisions with respect to the Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of any series
may, at the option of the Company, be paid by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as it appears on the Security Register. An installment of principal of or interest on the Securities shall be considered paid on the date it is
due if the Trustee or a Paying Agent (other than the Company or an Affiliate of the Company) holds on that date immediately available funds designated for and sufficient to pay such installment. To the extent lawful, and if so provided for with
respect to a particular series of Securities, the Company shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate specified therefor in the Securities, and it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the rate per annum borne by the
applicable series of Securities. 
 SECTION 10.02. MAINTENANCE OF OFFICE OR AGENCY. 
 As long as any of the Securities of a series remain Outstanding, the Company will maintain in each Place of Payment for such series an office or agency
where Securities of that series may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Securities of that series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the
Securities of that series and this Indenture may be served. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any
such required office or agency in respect of any series of Securities or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations and surrenders of Securities of that series may be made and notices and demands may be made or
served at the address of the Trustee set forth in Section 1.06, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such notices and demands. 
 The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Securities of one or more series may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time
rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in accordance with the requirements set forth above for Securities of any
series for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. 
  

 61 








 SECTION 10.03. MONEY FOR SECURITIES PAYMENTS TO BE HELD IN TRUST. 
 If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect to any series of Securities, it will, on or before each due date of the
principal of or any premium or interest on any of the Securities of that series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal and any premium and interest so becoming due until
such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. 
 Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of Securities, it will, prior to each due date of the principal of or any premium or interest on any Securities of that series, deposit with a
Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such amount, such sum to be held as provided by the Trust Indenture Act, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of its action or failure so to act.

 The Company will cause each Paying Agent for any series of Securities other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an
instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will (a) comply with the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act applicable to it as a Paying Agent and
(b) during the continuance of any Default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities of that series) in the making of any payment in respect of the Securities of that series, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay
to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent for payment in respect of the Securities of that series. 
 The Company may at any
time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such
sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further
liability with respect to such money. 
 Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for
the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company upon receipt of a
Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee
or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, if any such money represents the principal of, premium, if any, or interest payable with respect to
Securities that are in bearer form or that are registered to bearer, the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the
English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in each Place of Payment, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date
of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company. 
  

 62 








 SECTION 10.04. COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATE. 
 The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company ending after the date hereof, an Officers’ Certificate, one of the signatures of which shall be that of
the Company’s principal executive, financial or accounting officer, stating whether or not, to the best knowledge of the signers thereof, the Company is in Default in the performance and observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions
of this Indenture (without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided hereunder) or there is an Event of Default and, if the Company shall be in Default or there is an Event of Default, specifying all such Defaults and Events of
Default and the nature and status thereof of which they may have knowledge. 
 SECTION 10.05. CORPORATE EXISTENCE. 
 Subject to Article Eight, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its Corporate
existence. 
 ARTICLE ELEVEN 
 SUBORDINATION OF SECURITIES 
 SECTION 11.01. SECURITIES SUBORDINATE TO SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS. 
 The Company covenants and agrees, and each Holder of a Security, by his or her acceptance thereof, likewise covenants and agrees, that, to the extent and
in the manner hereinafter set forth in this Article, the payment of the principal of and interest on each and all of the Securities and all obligations in respect thereof are hereby expressly made subordinate and subject in right of payment to the
prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness. 
 SECTION 11.02. PAYMENT OVER OF PROCEEDS UPON DISSOLUTION, ETC. 
 Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company to creditors upon (a) any insolvency or bankruptcy case or proceeding, or any receivership,
liquidation, reorganization, insolvency or other similar case or proceeding in connection therewith, relative to the Company or to its assets, or (b) any total or partial liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of the Company, whether
voluntary or involuntary and whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy, or (c) any assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other marshalling of assets or liabilities of the Company, then and in any such event specified (a),
(b) or (c) above (each such event, if any, herein sometimes referred to as a “Proceeding”); 
 (1) the
holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled to receive payment in full, in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, of all amounts due on or to become due on or in respect of all Senior Indebtedness
(including interest accruing after, or which would accrue but for, the commencement of any 

  

 63 








 
Proceeding at the rate specified in the applicable Senior Indebtedness or documents governing such Senior Indebtedness, whether or not a claim for such
interest would be allowed), before the Holders of the Securities are entitled to receive any payment or distribution of any kind or character whether in cash, property or securities (including any payment or distribution which may be payable or
deliverable to Holders of the Securities made in respect of any other Indebtedness of the Company subordinated to the payment of the Securities, such payment or distribution being hereinafter referred to as a “Junior Subordinated
Payment”), on account of the principal of or interest on the Securities or on account of any purchase, redemption or other acquisition of Securities by the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company, the Trustee or any Paying Agent (all such
payments, distributions, purchases, redemptions and acquisitions, whether or not in connection with a Proceeding, herein referred to, individually and collectively, as a “Securities Payment”); and 
 (2) until the Senior Indebtedness is paid in full in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, any
payment or distribution of any kind or character, which the Holders of the Securities or the Trustee would be entitled but for the provisions of this Article (including, without limitation any Junior Subordinated Payment) shall be paid by the
Company or by the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, whether a trustee in bankruptcy, a receiver or liquidating trustee or otherwise, or by the Holders or the Trustee if received by them, directly to
the holders of Senior Indebtedness or other representative or representatives or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture under which any instruments evidencing any of such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, ratably according to the
aggregate amounts remaining unpaid on account of the Senior Indebtedness held or represented by each, to the extent necessary to make payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid, in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders
of such Senior Indebtedness, after giving effect to any concurrent payment, distribution or provision therefor to or for the holders of such Senior Indebtedness. 
 In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, the Trustee or the Holder of any Security shall have received in connection with any Proceeding any Securities Payment before all Senior
Indebtedness is paid in full or payment thereof provided for in cash, then and in such event such Securities Payment shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered forthwith to, the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver,
liquidating trustee, custodian, assignee, agent or other Person making payment or distribution of assets of the Company for application to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid, to the extent necessary to pay all Senior
Indebtedness in full, in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, after giving effect to any concurrent payment, distribution or provision therefor to or for the holders of Senior Indebtedness. 
  

 64 








 If the Company effects a transaction permitted by Article Eight, such transaction shall not be deemed a
Proceeding for the purposes of this Section if the Corporation formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or the Corporation which acquires by conveyance, lease or transfer such properties and assets, as the case may be, shall,
as a part of such consolidation, merger, conveyance, lease or transfer, comply with the conditions set forth in Article Eight. 
 SECTION 11.03. NO PAYMENT
WHEN SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS IN DEFAULT. 
 In the event that any Senior Payment Default (as defined below) shall have occurred, then no
Securities Payment shall be made, nor shall any property of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company be applied to the purchase, acquisition, retirement or redemption of the Securities, unless and until such Senior Payment Default shall have
been cured or waived in writing or shall have ceased to exist or all amounts then due and payable in respect of such Senior Indebtedness (including amounts that have become and remain due by acceleration) shall have been paid in full, in cash or
other payment satisfactory to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness. “Senior Payment Default” means any default in the payment of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Senior Indebtedness when due, whether at the Stated
Maturity of any such payment by declaration of acceleration or otherwise, call for redemption, mandatory payment or prepayment or otherwise. 
 In the event that any Senior Nonmonetary Default (as defined below) shall have occurred and be
continuing, then, upon the receipt by the Company and the Trustee of written notice of such Senior Nonmonetary Default from the holder of such Designated Senior Indebtedness (or the agent, trustee or representative thereof), no Securities Payment
shall be made, nor shall any property of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company be applied to the purchase, acquisition, retirement or redemption of the Securities, during the period (the “Payment Blockage Period”) commencing on the
date of such receipt of such written notice and ending (subject to any blockage of payments that may then or thereafter be in effect as the result of any Senior Payment Default) on the earlier of (i) the date on which the Designated Senior
Indebtedness to which such Senior Nonmonetary Default relates is discharged or such Senior Nonmonetary Default shall have been cured or waived in writing or shall have ceased to exist and any acceleration of Designated Senior Indebtedness to which
such Senior Nonmonetary Default relates shall have been rescinded or annulled or (ii) the 179th day after the date of such receipt of such
written notice. No more than one Payment Blockage Period may be commenced with respect to the Securities during any period of 360 consecutive days. Following the commencement of any Payment Blockage Period, the holders of any Designated Senior
Indebtedness will be precluded from commencing a subsequent Payment Blockage Period until the conditions set forth in the preceding sentence are satisfied. For all purposes of this paragraph, no Senior Nonmonetary Default that existed or was
continuing on the date of commencement of any Payment Blockage Period with respect to the Senior Indebtedness initiating such Payment Blockage Period shall be, or be made, the basis for the commencement of a subsequent Payment Blockage Period by
holders of Designated Senior Indebtedness or their representatives. “Senior Nonmonetary Default” means the occurrence or existence and continuance of any default (other than a Senior Payment Default) or any event which, after notice or
lapse of time (or both), would become an Event of Default (other than a Senior Payment Default), under the terms of any instrument or agreement pursuant to which any 

  

 65 








 
Designated Senior Indebtedness is outstanding, permitting (after notice or lapse of time or both) one or more holders of such Designated Senior Indebtedness
(or a trustee or agent on behalf of the holders thereof) to declare such Designated Senior Indebtedness due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise become due and payable. 
 In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment shall be received by the Trustee or any Holder of any Security when such payment is
prohibited by the foregoing provisions of this Section, and if such fact shall, at or prior to the time of such payment, have been made known to the Trustee or, as the case may be, such Holder, then and in such event such payment shall be held in
trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered to, the holders of Senior Indebtedness (pro rata to such holders on the basis of the respective amounts of Senior Indebtedness held by such holders) or their respective
representatives, as their respective interests may appear. In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively on information regarding amounts outstanding on the Senior Indebtedness, if any, received from
Persons purporting to hold any Senior Indebtedness (or their representatives) and shall not be liable or responsible for any payments or transfers made in good faith in accordance with such information. 
 The provisions of this Section shall not apply to any Securities Payment with respect to which Section 11.02 hereof would be applicable. 

SECTION 11.04. PAYMENT PERMITTED IF NO DEFAULT. 
 Nothing
contained in this Article or elsewhere in this Indenture or in any of the Securities shall prevent the Company, at any time except during the pendency of any Proceeding referred to in Section 11.02 hereof or under the conditions described in
Section 11.03 hereof, from making Securities Payments. 
 SECTION 11.05. SUBROGATION TO RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS. 
 Subject to the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness, the Holders of the Securities shall be subrogated (equally and ratably with the holders of all
Indebtedness of the Company which by its express terms is subordinated to Indebtedness of the Company to substantially the same extent as the Securities are subordinated and is entitled to like rights of subrogation) to the rights of the holders of
such Senior Indebtedness to receive payments and distributions of cash, property and securities of the Company applicable to the Senior Indebtedness until the principal of, and interest and premium (if any) on, the Securities shall be paid in full.
For purposes of such subrogation, no payments or distributions to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness by or on behalf of the Company, or by or on behalf of the Holders by virtue of this Article, which otherwise would have been made to the Holders
shall, as between the Company and the Holders, be deemed a payment by the Company to or on account of the Senior Indebtedness. 
 SECTION 11.06. PROVISIONS
SOLELY TO DEFINE RELATIVE RIGHTS. 
 The provisions of this Article are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative
rights of the Holders on the one hand and the holders of Senior Indebtedness 

  

 66 








 
on the other hand. Nothing contained in this Article or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities is intended to or shall (a) impair, as among
the Company and the Holders of the Securities, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Holders of the Securities the principal of and interest on the Securities as and when the same shall become due and
payable in accordance with their terms; or (b) affect the relative rights against the Company of the Holders of the Securities and creditors of the Company other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness; or (c) prevent the Trustee or the
Holder of any Security from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article of the holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive cash, property and
securities otherwise payable or deliverable to the Trustee or such Holder. 
 SECTION 11.07. TRUSTEE TO EFFECTUATE SUBORDINATION. 
 Each Holder of a Security by his or her acceptance thereof authorizes and expressly directs the Trustee on his or her behalf to take such action as may be
necessary or appropriate to effectuate, as between the holders of Senior Indebtedness and the Holders of the Securities, the subordination provided in this Article and appoints the Trustee his or her attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes,
including, in the event of any dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization of the Company whether in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership proceedings, or otherwise, the filing of a claim for the unpaid balance of his or her Securities and
accrued interest in the form required in such proceedings. If the Trustee does not file a proper claim or proof of debt in the form required by such proceeding at least 30 days before the expiration of the time to file such claim, then the holders
of the Senior Indebtedness and their agents, trustees or other representatives are authorized to do so (but shall in no event be liable for any failure to do so) for and on behalf of the Holders of the Securities. 
 SECTION 11.08. NO WAIVER OF SUBORDINATION PROVISIONS. 
 No
right of any present or future holder of any Senior Indebtedness to enforce subordination as herein provided shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or by any act or failure to
act, in good faith, by any such holder, or by any noncompliance by the Company with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof any such holder may have or be otherwise charged with. 
 SECTION 11.09. NOTICE TO TRUSTEE. 
 The Company shall give
prompt written notice to the Trustee of any fact known to the Company which would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee in respect of the Securities pursuant to the provisions of this Article, although any delay or failure to give
any such notice shall have no effect on the subordination provisions contained herein. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article or any other provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any
facts which would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee in respect of the Securities, unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof from the Company, any holder of Senior
Indebtedness or from any trustee, fiduciary, representative or agent therefor; and, prior to the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of 

  

 67 








 
Section 6.01 hereof, shall be entitled in all respects to assume that no such facts exist; provided, however, that if the Trustee shall not have
received the notice provided for in this Section at least three Business Days prior to the date upon which by the terms hereof any money may become payable for any purpose (including, without limitation, the payment of the principal of or interest
on any Security), then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, but without limiting the rights and remedies of the holders of Senior Indebtedness or any trustee, fiduciary, representative or agent therefor, the Trustee shall have
full power and authority to receive such money and to apply the same to the purpose for which such money was received and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary which may be received by it within three Business Days prior to such date.
Any notice required or permitted to be given to the Trustee by a holder of Senior Indebtedness or by any trustee, fiduciary, representative or agent thereof shall be in writing and shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in writing and
either (i) sent via facsimile to the Trustee for receipt at its Corporate Trust Office, the receipt of which shall be confirmed via telephone, or (ii) mailed, first class postage prepaid, or sent by overnight carrier, to the Trustee
addressed to its Corporate Trust Office or to any other address furnished in writing to such holder of Senior Indebtedness by the Trustee. 
 Subject to the provisions of Section 6.01 hereof, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a Person representing himself or herself to be a holder of Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee,
fiduciary, representative or agent therefor to establish that such notice has been given by a holder of Senior Indebtedness or a trustee, fiduciary, representative or agent therefor). In the event that the Trustee determines in good faith that
further evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Senior Indebtedness to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable
satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Senior Indebtedness held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this
Article, and if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment. 
 SECTION 11.10. RELIANCE ON JUDICIAL ORDER OR CERTIFICATE OF LIQUIDATING AGENT. 
 Upon any payment or
distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 6.01 hereof, and the Holders of the Securities shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree entered by any court of
competent jurisdiction in which such Proceeding is pending, or a certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, liquidating trustee, custodian, assignee for the benefit of creditors, agent or other Person making such payment or distribution,
delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities, for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and other Indebtedness of the Company, the amount
thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article. 
  

 68 








 SECTION 11.11. TRUSTEE NOT FIDUCIARY FOR HOLDERS OF SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS. 
 The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness and shall not be liable to any such holders if it shall
either pay pursuant to the provisions of Section 11.09, or otherwise in good faith mistakenly pay, to Holders of Securities or to the Company or to any other Person Cash, property or securities to which any holders of Senior Indebtedness shall
be entitled by virtue of this Article or otherwise. 
 SECTION 11.12. RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE AS HOLDER OF SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS; PRESERVATION OF TRUSTEE’S
RIGHTS. 
 The Trustee in its individual capacity shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article with respect to any Senior
Indebtedness which may at any time be held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Senior Indebtedness, and nothing in this Indenture shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder. 
 Nothing in this Article shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof. 
 SECTION 11.13. ARTICLE APPLICABLE TO PAYING AGENTS. 
 In case
at any time any Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall have been appointed by the Company and be then acting hereunder, the term “Trustee” as used in this Article shall in such case (unless the context otherwise requires) be construed
as extending to and including such Paying Agent within its meaning as fully, and for all intents and purposes, as if such Paying Agent were named in this Article in addition to or in place of the Trustee; provided, however, that Section 11.11
hereon shall not apply to the Company or any Affiliate of the Company if it or such Affiliate acts as Paying Agent. 
 SECTION 11.14. ARTICLE ELEVEN NOT TO
PREVENT EVENTS OF DEFAULT OR LIMIT RIGHT TO ACCELERATE. 
 The failure to make a payment in respect of the Securities, by reason of any
provision in this Article shall not be construed as preventing the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default. Nothing in this Article shall have any effect on the right of the Securityholders or the Trustee to accelerate the maturity of the
Securities. 
 SECTION 11.15. TRUST MONEYS NOT SUBORDINATED. 
 Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, payments from cash or U.S. Government Obligations held in trust under Article Four or Article Fourteen by the Trustee for the payment of principal of
premium, if any, and interest on the Securities shall not be subordinated to the prior payment of any Senior Indebtedness or subject to the restrictions set forth in this Article, and none of the Securityholders shall be obligated to pay over any
such amount to the Company, any holder of Senior Indebtedness, or any other creditor of the Company. 
  

 69 








 ARTICLE TWELVE 
 REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES 
 SECTION 12.01. APPLICABILITY OF ARTICLE. 
 Securities of any series which are redeemable before their Stated Maturity shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms and (except as otherwise
specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for such Securities) in accordance with this Article. 
 SECTION 12.02. ELECTION TO REDEEM; NOTICE TO TRUSTEE.

 The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be pursuant to a Board Resolution and evidenced by a Company Order. In case of
any redemption at the election of the Company of less than all of the Securities of any series (including any such redemption affecting only a single Security), the Company shall, at least 45 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company
(unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date, of the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed and, if applicable, of the tenor of the Securities to be redeemed. In the
case of any redemption of Securities prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate
evidencing compliance with such restriction. 
 SECTION 12.03. SELECTION BY TRUSTEE OF SECURITIES TO BE REDEEMED. 
 If less than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed (unless all the Securities of such series and of a specified tenor are to be redeemed or
unless such redemption affects only a single Security), the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series not previously
called for redemption, in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which such Securities are listed, or, if such Securities are not so listed, pro rata or by lot or by such other method as the
Trustee in its sole discretion shall deem fair and appropriate (and in such manner as complies with applicable legal requirements) and which may provide for the selection for redemption of a portion of the principal amount of any Security of such
series, provided that the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of any Security shall be in an authorized denomination (which shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination) for such Security. If less than all the Securities of such
series and of a specified tenor are to be redeemed (unless such redemption affects only a single Security), the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the
Outstanding Securities of such series and specified tenor not previously called for redemption in accordance with the preceding sentence. The selection, by the Trustee, of the Securities to be redeemed shall be conclusive and binding and the Trustee
shall incur no liability in connection with such selection. 
  

 70 








 The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Securities selected for redemption as
aforesaid and, in case of any Securities selected for partial redemption as aforesaid, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. 
 The
provisions of the two preceding paragraphs shall not apply with respect to any redemption affecting only a single Security, whether such Security is to be redeemed in whole or in part. In the case of any such redemption in part, the unredeemed
portion of the principal amount of the Security shall be in an authorized denomination (which shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination) for such Security. 
 For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate, in the
case of any Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Securities which has been or is to be redeemed. 
 Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Section 12.03, the selection of Securities, or portions thereof, that are represented by a Global Security or that are held by or on behalf of a Depositary, in the
case of any partial redemption, shall also be made in accordance with the applicable rules and procedures of such Depositary and neither the Trustee nor the Company shall have any liability or responsibility with respect thereto. 
 SECTION 12.04. NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. 
 Notice of redemption
shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, at the Holder’s address appearing in the Security Register.

 All notices of redemption shall identify the Securities being redeemed (including the CUSIP or ISIN number) and state: 
 (1) the Redemption Date, 
 (2) the Redemption Price, 
 (3) if less than all the Outstanding Securities of any series
consisting of more than a single Security are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption of any such Securities, the principal amounts) of the particular Securities to be redeemed and, if less than all the Outstanding
Securities of any series consisting of a single Security are to be redeemed, the principal amount of the particular Security to be redeemed, 
 (4) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each such Security to be redeemed and, if applicable, that interest thereon will cease to accrue on and after said date,

  

 71 








 (5) the place or places where each such Security is to be surrendered for payment of the
Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any, 
 (6) that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case,

 (7) the name and address of the Paying Agent, 
 (8) that Securities called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price, and 
 (9) that no representation is made as to the accuracy or correctness of the CUSIP and/or ISIN numbers listed in such notice or printed on
the Securities. 
 In addition, unless otherwise specified in accordance with Section 3.01, such notice may state that (1) the
redemption will be conditional upon the Trustee or the Paying Agent receiving sufficient funds to pay the principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities subject to redemption on the Redemption Date and (2) if the Trustee or the
Paying Agent does not receive those funds, the redemption notice will not apply, and the Company will not be required to redeem the Securities subject to redemption. 
 Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Company shall be given by the Company or, at the Company’s request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company and shall
be irrevocable. 
 SECTION 12.05. DEPOSIT OF REDEMPTION PRICE. 
 On or prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in
trust as provided in Section 10.03) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the Securities which are to be redeemed on that
date, other than Securities or portions of Securities called for redemption that are beneficially owned by the Company and have been delivered by the Company to the Trustee for cancellation. 
 SECTION 12.06. SECURITIES PAYABLE ON REDEMPTION DATE. 
 Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities or portions of Securities so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified (together with accrued interest,
if any, to the Redemption Date), and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest) such Securities shall cease to bear interest and the only right of the Holders thereof will
be to receive payment of the redemption price and, subject to the next sentence, unpaid interest on such Securities to the Redemption Date. Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security shall be
paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01, 

  

 72 








 
installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more
Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant record dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 3.07. 
 If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal and any premium shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed therefor
in the Security. 
 SECTION 12.07. SECURITIES REDEEMED IN PART. 
 Any Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at a Place of Payment therefor (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or the Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security
without service charge, a new Security or Securities of the same series and of like tenor, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal
of the Security so surrendered; provided, however, that if a Global Security is so surrendered, such new Security so issued shall be a new Global Security in a denomination equal to the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Global Security so
surrendered. 
 ARTICLE THIRTEEN 
 SINKING FUNDS 
 SECTION 13.01. APPLICABILITY OF ARTICLE. 
 The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of a series, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for Securities of such series.

 The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as a
“mandatory sinking fund payment,” and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment.” If provided for by the terms of
Securities of any series, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 13.02. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities of any series as provided for by the
terms of the Securities of such series. 
 SECTION 13.02. SATISFACTION OF SINKING FUND PAYMENTS WITH SECURITIES. 
 The Company (a) may deliver Outstanding Securities of a series with the same issue date, interest rate and Stated Maturity (other than any previously
called for redemption), and (b) may apply as a credit Securities of a series with the same issue date, interest rate and 

  

 73 








 
Stated Maturity which have been redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Securities or through the application of
permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Securities, in each case in satisfaction of all or any part of any mandatory sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities of such series with the same issue date, interest
rate and Stated Maturity; provided that such Securities have not been previously so credited. Such Securities shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the Redemption Price specified in such Securities for redemption through
operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly. 
 SECTION 13.03. REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES FOR
SINKING FUND. 
 Not less than 35 days (or such shorter period as shall be acceptable to the Trustee) prior to each sinking fund payment date
for any series of Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for that series pursuant to the terms of that series, the portion thereof, if any,
which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities of that series pursuant to Section 13.02 and will also deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so
delivered. Not less than 30 days before each such sinking fund payment date, the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date shall be selected in the manner specified in Section 12.03 and the Trustee shall cause notice of the
redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided in Section 12.04. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated
in Sections 12.06 and 12.07. 
 ARTICLE FOURTEEN 
 DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE 
 SECTION 14.01. COMPANY’S RIGHT WITH RESPECT TO DEFEASANCE OR COVENANT DEFEASANCE.

 The Company will have the right, at any time, to have Section 14.02 or Section 14.03 applied to any Securities or any series of
Securities, as the case may be (other than Securities of a series designated pursuant to Section 3.01 as not being defeasible pursuant to Section 14.02 or 14.03), upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article. Any
request under this Article shall be evidenced by a Company Order or in another manner specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for such Securities. 
 SECTION 14.02. DEFEASANCE AND DISCHARGE. 
 Upon the Company’s exercise of its right to have this Section applied to any
Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be, the Company shall be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to such Securities as provided in this Section on and after the date the conditions set forth in
Section 14.04 are satisfied (hereinafter called “Defeasance”). For this purpose, such Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by such Securities and to have
satisfied all its other obligations under such Securities and this Indenture insofar as such 

  

 74 








 
Securities are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), subject to the following
which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (a) the rights of Holders of such Securities to receive, solely from the trust fund described in Section 14.04 and as more fully set forth in such Section,
(i) payments in respect of the principal of and any premium and interest on the Outstanding Securities on the Stated Maturity of such principal or installment of principal of and any premium or interest and (ii) the benefit of any
mandatory sinking fund payments applicable to the Securities on the day on which such payments are due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the Securities of such series, (b) the Company’s obligations with respect
to such Securities under Sections 3.04, 3.05, 3.06, 10.02 and 10.03, (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder including the duty of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series issued on
registration of transfer or exchange and the Company’s obligation in connection therewith, and (d) this Article. Subject to compliance with this Article, the Company may exercise its option to have this Section applied to any Securities
notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option to have Section 14.03 applied to such securities. 
 SECTION 14.03. COVENANT DEFEASANCE. 
 Upon the Company’s exercise of its right to have this Section applied to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be, (a) the
Company shall be released from its obligations under Section 7.04, Article Eight and any covenants provided pursuant to Sections 3.01(22), 9.01(2) or 9.01(7) for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, (b) the occurrence of any
event specified in Section 5.01(5) (with respect to its obligations under Section 7.04, Article Eight and any covenants provided pursuant to Sections 3.01(22), 9.01(2) or 9.01(7)) shall be deemed not to be or result in an Event of Default,
in each case with respect to such Securities as provided in this Section on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 14.04 are satisfied and (c) the provisions of Article Eleven shall cease to be effective (hereinafter called
“Covenant Defeasance”). For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to such Securities, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in
Section 7.04, Article Eight and any covenants provided pursuant to Sections 3.01(22), 9.01(2) or 9.01(7) (to the extent so specified in the case of Section 5.01(5)), whether directly or indirectly by reason of any reference elsewhere
herein to any such Section or Article or covenant or by reason of any reference in any such Section or Article or covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document, but the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities shall be
unaffected thereby. 
 SECTION 14.04. CONDITIONS TO DEFEASANCE OR COVENANT DEFEASANCE. 
 The following shall be the conditions to the application of Section 14.02 or Section 14.03 to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the
case may be: 
 (1) The Company shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee (or another
Trustee satisfying the requirements of Section 6.09 who shall agree to comply with the provisions of Article Fourteen applicable to it) as trust funds in trust for the purpose of making the following payments, specifically pledged as security
for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Holders of such 

  

 75 








 
Securities, (a) Cash in an amount, or (b) U.S. Government Obligations which through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect
thereof in accordance with their terms will provide (without reinvestment), not later than the due date of any payment, money in an amount, or (c) a combination thereof, in each case sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of
independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (or other qualifying Trustee), to pay and discharge, and which shall be applied by the Trustee to pay and discharge, the principal of and any
premium and interest on such Securities on the respective Stated Maturities or Redemption Date, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and such Securities. As used herein, “U.S. Government Obligation” means (x) any security
which is (i) a direct obligation of the United States of America for the timely payment of which the full faith and credit of the United States of America is pledged or (ii) an obligation of a Person controlled or supervised by and acting
as an agency or instrumentality of the United States of America the timely payment of which is unconditionally guaranteed as a full faith and credit obligation by the United States of America, which, in either case (i) or (ii), is not callable
or redeemable at the option of the issuer thereof, and (y) shall also include a depositary receipt issued by a bank (as defined in Section 3(a)(2) of the Securities Act) as custodian with respect to any U.S. Government Obligation which is
specified in Clause (x) above and held by such bank for the account of the holder of such depositary receipt, or with respect to any specific payment of principal of or interest on any U.S. Government Obligation which is so specified and held,
provided that (except as required by law) such custodian is not authorized to make any deduction from the amount payable to the holder of such depositary receipt from any amount received by the custodian in respect of the U.S. Government Obligation
or the specific payment of principal or interest evidenced by such depositary receipt. 
 (2) In the event of an election to
have Section 14.02 apply to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (a) the Company has received from, or there has been published
by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (b) since the date of this instrument, there has been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law, in either case (a) or (b) to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall
confirm that, the Holders of such Securities will not recognize income gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit, Defeasance and discharge to be effected with respect to such Securities and will be subject to Federal
income tax on the same amount in the same manner and at the same times as would be the case if such deposit, Defeasance and discharge were not to occur. 
  

 76 








 (3) In the event of an election to have Section 14.03 apply to any Securities or any
series of Securities, as the case may be, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of such Securities will not recognize income gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of
the deposit and Covenant Defeasance to be effected with respect to such Securities and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would be the case if such deposit and Covenant Defeasance
were not to occur. 
 (4) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent with respect to such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance have been complied with. 
 SECTION 14.05.
DEPOSITED MONEY AND U.S. GOVERNMENT OBLIGATIONS TO BE HELD IN TRUST; MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS. 
 Subject to the provisions of the last
paragraph of Section 10.03, all money and U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 14.04 in respect of any Securities shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in
accordance with the provisions of such Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any such Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such
Securities, of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal and any premium and interest, but money so held in trust need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations
deposited pursuant to Section 14.04 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of Outstanding Securities. 
 Anything in this Article to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company Request any Cash
or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 13.04 with respect to any Securities which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered
to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect the Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, with respect to such Securities. 
 SECTION 14.06. REINSTATEMENT. 
 If the Trustee or the Paying
Agent is unable to apply any Cash or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Article with respect to any Securities by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining,
restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the obligations under this Indenture and such Securities from which the Company has been discharged or released pursuant to Section 14.02 or 14.03 shall be revived and reinstated as
though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article with respect to such Securities, until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such Cash or U.S. Government Obligations held in trust pursuant to Section 14.05
with respect to such Securities in accordance with this Article; provided, however, that if the Company makes any payment of principal of or any premium or interest on any such Security following such reinstatement of its obligations, the Company
shall be subrogated to the rights (if any) of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the Cash or U.S. Government Obligations so held in trust by the Trustee or the Paying Agent.
