“Trust Indenture Act” means the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 as in force at the date as of which this instrument was executed;
provided, however, that in the event the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 is amended after such date, “Trust Indenture Act” shall mean, to the extent required by any such amendment, the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 as so amended. 

“Trustee” means the Person named as the “Trustee” in the first paragraph of this instrument until a successor Trustee
shall have become such pursuant to the applicable provisions of this Indenture, and thereafter “Trustee” shall mean or include each Person who is then a Trustee hereunder, and if at any time there is more than one such Person,

 Section 102. Compliance Certificates and
Opinions. 
 Upon any application or request by the Corporation to the Trustee to take any action under any provision of this Indenture,
the Corporation shall furnish to the Trustee such certificates and opinions as may be required under the Trust Indenture Act. Each such certificate or opinion shall be given in the form of an Officers’ Certificate, if to be given by an officer
of the Corporation, or an Opinion of Counsel, if to be given by counsel, and shall comply with the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act and any other requirements set forth in this Indenture.

 Every certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for
in this Indenture shall include 
 (1) a statement that each individual signing such certificate or opinion has read such
covenant or condition and the definitions herein relating thereto; 
 (2) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the
examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such certificate or opinion are based; 
 (3)
a statement that, in the opinion of each such individual, he or she has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with; and 

(4) a statement as to whether, in the opinion of each such individual, such condition or covenant has been complied with. 

Section 103. Form of Documents Delivered to Trustee. 

In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that
all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other
such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents. 
 Any
certificate or opinion of an officer of the Corporation may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should
know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which such officer’s certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate or opinion of counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to
factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Corporation stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Corporation, unless such counsel knows,
or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous. 

Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or
other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument. 
 Whenever, subsequent to the
receipt by the Trustee of any Board Resolution, Officers’ Certificate, Opinion of Counsel or other document or instrument, a clerical, typographical or other inadvertent or unintentional error or omission shall be discovered therein, a new
document or instrument may be substituted therefor in corrected form with the same force and effect as if 

  
 7 








 
originally filed in the corrected form and, irrespective of the date or dates of the actual execution and/or delivery thereof, such substitute document or instrument shall be deemed to have been
executed and/or delivered as of the date or dates required with respect to the document or instrument for which it is substituted. 

Anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, if any action has been taken by or at the request of the Corporation in reliance
on an error or omission in the original document which has been corrected as aforesaid, the action so taken shall not be invalidated or otherwise rendered ineffective but shall be and remain in full force and effect, except to the extent that such
action was a result of willful misconduct or bad faith. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Securities issued under the authority of such defective document or instrument shall nevertheless be the valid obligations of the
Corporation entitled to the benefits of this Indenture equally and ratably with all other Outstanding Securities, except as aforesaid. 

Section 104. Acts of Holders; Record Dates. 

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 may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by 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 Corporation. 

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 601) conclusive in favor of
the Trustee and the Corporation, if made in the 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 the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than the signer’s individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of the
signer’s 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. 

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Security shall bind every future
Holder of the same Security and the Holder of every Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Corporation in
reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security.

 The Corporation 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 Corporation 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 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 or revoke 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 by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record
date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Corporation 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 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 Corporation, 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 Section 106. 

The Trustee may 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 or making of (i) any Notice of Default, (ii) any declaration of acceleration referred to in Section 502, (iii) any request to institute proceedings referred to in Section 507(2) or (iv) any direction
referred to in Section 512, 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 or to revoke the same, 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 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 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 Trustee, at
the Corporation’s expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be sent to the Corporation in writing and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner
set forth in Section 106. 
 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 

  
 9 








 
writing, and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 106 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 180th 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 180th 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 105. Notices, Etc., to Trustee and Corporation. 

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 Corporation shall
be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing, which may be made via facsimile, to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, Attention: Corporate Trust, or 

(2) the Corporation by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein
expressly provided) if made, given, furnished or filed in writing, which may be made via facsimile, or mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Corporation addressed to it at the address of its principal office specified in the first paragraph of
this instrument, Attention: Treasurer, or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Corporation. 

Section 106. Notice to Holders; Waiver. 

Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly
provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date (if any), and not earlier than the earliest date (if any),
prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice
with respect to other Holders. 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 by such Holders or the Corporation with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver. 

In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by
mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.

 Section 107. Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. 

If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with a provision of the Trust Indenture Act which is required under such Act to be a
part of and govern this Indenture, the latter 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 108. 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 109. Successors and Assigns. 

All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Corporation shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. 

Section 110. 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 111. Benefits of
Indenture. 
 Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties
hereto, their successors hereunder and the Holders, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture. 

Section 112. 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
conflicts of laws principles thereof. 
 Section 113. Legal Holidays. 

In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity of any Security shall not be a Business Day at any Place of
Payment, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the Securities (other than a provision of any Security which specifically states that such provision shall apply in lieu of this Section)) payment of interest or principal
(and premium, if any) need not be made at such Place of Payment on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day 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.

Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in
respect of such Event of Default as Trustee, such Holder or Holders shall have offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity, and the Trustee, for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and the Trustee shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of
indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein. 

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the
Corporation, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of [and premium, if any,] and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. 

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the
Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Corporation in any place where the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Corporation and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this
series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 

The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple
thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, 
 Securities of this series are exchangeable
for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. 

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Corporation may require payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 
 Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration
of transfer, the Corporation, the Trustee and any agent of the Corporation or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the
Corporation, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

York, without regard to conflict of law principles thereof. 
 All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture and not
defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

 (19) any addition to or change in the covenants set forth in Article X which

pursuant to the Board Resolution referred to above and (subject to Section 303) set forth, or determined in the manner provided, in the Officers’ Certificate referred to above or in any such indenture supplemental hereto. 

If any of the terms of the series are established by action taken pursuant to a Board Resolution, a copy of an appropriate record of such
action shall be certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation and delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Officers’ Certificate setting forth the terms or the manner of determining the terms of the
series. 
 With respect to Securities of a series offered in a Periodic Offering, the Board Resolution (or action taken pursuant thereto),
Officers’ Certificate or supplemental indenture referred to above may provide general terms or parameters for Securities of such series and provide either that the specific terms of particular Securities of such series shall be specified in a
Company Order or that such terms shall be determined by the Corporation in accordance with other procedures specified in a Company Order as contemplated by the third paragraph of Section 303. 

Notwithstanding Section 301(2) herein and unless otherwise expressly provided with respect to a series of Securities, a series of
Securities may from time to time be “re-opened” and the aggregate principal amount of any such series of Securities may be increased and additional Securities of such series may be issued up to the maximum aggregate principal amount
authorized with respect to such series as increased. 
 Section 302. Denominations. 

The Securities of each series shall be issuable only in fully registered form without coupons and only in such denominations as shall be
specified as contemplated by Section 301. In the absence of any such specified denomination with respect to the Securities of any series, the Securities of such series shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple
thereof. 
 Section 303. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. 

The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Corporation by its Chairman of the Board, its Vice Chairman of the Board, its Chief
Executive Officer, its President or one of its Vice Presidents (which may be by facsimile) attested by its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile. 

  
 21 








 Securities bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the
proper officers of the Corporation shall bind the Corporation, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or did not hold such offices at the date
of such Securities. 
 At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Corporation may deliver
Securities of any series executed by the Corporation to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with the Company Order shall authenticate and
deliver such Securities, provided, however, that in the case of Securities offered in a Periodic Offering, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver such Securities from time to time in accordance with such other procedures (including, without
limitation, the receipt by the Trustee of electronic instructions from the Corporation or its duly authorized agents, promptly confirmed in writing) acceptable to the Trustee as may be specified by or pursuant to a Company Order delivered to the
Trustee prior to the time of the first authentication of Securities of such series. If the form or terms of the Securities of the series have been established by or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions as permitted by Sections 201 and 301, in
authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be furnished, and (subject to Section 601) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion
of Counsel stating, 
 (1) if the form of such Securities has been established by or pursuant to Board Resolution as
permitted by Section 201, that such form has been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; 

(2) if the terms of such Securities have been, or in the case of Securities of a series offered in a Periodic Offering, will
be, established by or pursuant to Board Resolution as permitted by Section 301, that such terms have been, or in the case of Securities of a series offered in a Periodic Offering, will be, established in conformity with the provisions of this
Indenture, subject, in the case of Securities of a series offered in a Periodic Offering, to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel; and 

(3) that such Securities, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Corporation in the manner and
subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Corporation 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. 

If such form or terms have been so established, the Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Securities if the issue of such
Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. 

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 301 and of the preceding paragraph, if all Securities of a series are not to be originally
issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver the Officers’ Certificate otherwise required pursuant to Section 301 or the Company 

  
 22 








 
Order and Opinion of Counsel otherwise required pursuant to such preceding paragraph at or prior to the authentication of each Security of such series if such documents are delivered at or prior
to the authentication upon original issuance of the first Security of such series to be issued. 
 With respect to Securities of a series
offered in a Periodic Offering, the Trustee may rely, as to the authorization by the Corporation 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 the other documents delivered pursuant to Sections 201 and 301 and this Section, as applicable, in connection with the first authentication of Securities of such series. 

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 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Corporation, and the Corporation
shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 309, 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 304. Temporary Securities. 

Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Corporation may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed 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. 

If temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Corporation 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 Corporation 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 Corporation shall execute and 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. 

  
 23 








 Section 305. Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange. 

The Corporation shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a register (the register maintained in such office or in
any other office or agency of the Corporation in a Place of Payment being herein sometimes referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Corporation shall provide for the
registration of Securities and of transfers of Securities. The Trustee is hereby 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 of a series at the office or agency of the Corporation in a Place of Payment for
that series, the Corporation shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and
aggregate principal amount. 
 At the option of the Holder, Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Securities of the same
series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Corporation 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 Corporation evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such
registration of transfer or exchange. 
 Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so
required by the Corporation or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Corporation and the Security Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly
authorized in writing. 
 No service charge shall be assessed against the Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities,
but the Corporation 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 304, 906 or 1106 not involving any transfer. 
 If the Securities of any series (or of any series and specified tenor) are to
be redeemed, the Corporation shall not be required (A) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Securities of that 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 any such Securities selected for redemption 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. 

  
 24 








 The provisions of Clauses (1), (2), (3) and (4) 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 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
Corporation that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security and a successor Depositary has not been appointed by the Corporation within 90 days of receipt by the Corporation of such notification, (B) if at any
time the Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act at a time when the Depositary is required to be so registered to act as such Depositary and no successor Depositary shall have been appointed by the Corporation
within 90 days after it became aware of such cessation, (C) the Corporation, in its sole discretion, executes and delivers to the Trustee a Company Order to the effect that such Global Security, together with all other Global Securities of the
same series, shall be exchangeable as described below, (D) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Securities of such series, or (E) 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 301. If any of the events described in clauses (A) through (E) of the preceding sentence occur, the beneficial owners of interests in the relevant Global
Securities will be entitled to exchange those interests for definitive Securities and, without unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the earliest date on which those interests may be so exchanged, the Corporation will deliver to the
Trustee definitive Securities in such form and denominations as are required by or pursuant to this Indenture, and of the same series, containing identical terms and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global
Securities, such Securities to be duly executed by the Corporation. On or after the earliest date on which such beneficial interests may be so exchanged, such Global Securities shall be surrendered from time to time by the Depositary as shall be
specified in the Company Order with respect thereto (which the Corporation agrees to deliver), and in accordance with any instructions given to the Trustee and the Depositary (which instructions shall be in writing but need not be contained in or
accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate or be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel), as shall be specified in the Company Order with respect thereto to the Trustee, as the Corporation’s agent for such purpose, to be exchanged, in whole or
in part, for definitive Securities as described above without charge. The Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, in exchange for each portion of such surrendered Global Security, a like aggregate principal amount of definitive
Securities of the same series of authorized denominations and of like tenor as the portion of such Global Security to be exchanged. Promptly following any such exchange in part, such Global Security shall be returned by the Trustee to such
Depositary or its custodian. If a definitive Security is issued in exchange for any portion of a Global Security after the 

  
 25 








 
close of business at the place where such exchange occurs on or after (i) any Regular Record Date for such Security and before the opening of business at that Place of Payment on the next
Interest Payment Date, or (ii) any Special Record Date for such Security and before the opening of business at such Place of Payment on the related proposed date for the payment of Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, interest shall not be
payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, in respect of such definitive Security, but shall be payable on such Interest Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, only to the Person to whom
interest in respect of such portion of such Global Security shall be payable in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. 

(3) Subject to Clause (2) above, any exchange or transfer of a Global Security for other Securities may be made in whole
or in part, and all Securities issued in exchange for or upon transfer of a Global Security or any portion thereof shall be registered in such names as the Depositary for such Global Security shall direct. 

(4) 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 304, 306, 906 or 1106 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. 
 Section 306. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and
Stolen Securities. 
 If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Corporation shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 

If there shall be delivered to the Corporation and the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of
any Security and (ii) such security or indemnity as required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Corporation or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona
fide purchaser, the Corporation shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, 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 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 Corporation in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security. 
 Upon the issuance of any new
Security under this Section, the Corporation 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 reasonable expenses (including the fees and expenses of the
Trustee) connected therewith. 

  
 26 








 Every new Security of any series issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost
or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Corporation, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the 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 307. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved. 

Except as otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301 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, such payment to be made at the office or agency maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 1002; provided, however, that, at the option of the Corporation, interest on any series of Securities that bear interest may be paid
(i) by check mailed to the address of the Persons entitled thereto as such addresses shall appear on the Security Register or (ii) by wire transfer at such place and to such account at a banking institution in the United States as may be
designated in writing to the Trustee at least 15 days prior to the date for payment by the Persons entitled thereto. Any such instructions given pursuant to clause (ii) shall remain in effect until revoked by written notice to the Trustee at
least 15 days prior to any payment date by the Person entitled to such payment. 
 Except as otherwise provided as contemplated by
Section 301 with respect to any series of Securities, 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 Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Corporation, at its election in each case, as provided in Clause (1) or
(2) below: 
 (1) The Corporation 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 Corporation shall
notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security of such series and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Corporation shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money 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 

  
 27 








 
proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Corporation of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Corporation, shall cause notice of the proposed payment
of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be given to each Holder of Securities of such series in the manner set forth in Section 106, 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 such 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 Corporation may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Securities of any series in any other lawful manner not
inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange, if any, on which such Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Corporation 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, 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. 
 Section 308. Persons Deemed Owners. 

Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the Corporation, the Trustee and any agent of the Corporation 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 and any premium and (subject to Section 307) any interest on such Security and for all
other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither the Corporation, the Trustee or any agent of the Corporation or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

Section 309. 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 shall be promptly canceled by it. The Corporation may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered
hereunder which the Corporation may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, 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 Corporation
has not issued and sold, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted

Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of each series
shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

The Corporation in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use

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 Corporation shall promptly
notify the Trustee of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers. 
 ARTICLE IV.

 (1) either 

(A) all Securities of such series theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (i) Securities of such series which
have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 306 and (ii) Securities of such series for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the

(ii) will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year, or 

  
 29

discharge, the entire indebtedness on such Securities 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 which have become due and payable) or
to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be; 
 (2) the Corporation has paid or caused to be paid all other
sums payable hereunder by the Corporation; and 
 (3) the Corporation 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 as to such series have been complied with.

the obligations of the Corporation and the Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series under Sections 304, 305, 306, 402, 1002, 1003 and 1306 shall survive such satisfaction and discharge. 

Section 402. Application of Trust Money. 

Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 401 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 (other than the Corporation 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 the Trustee.

or the Securities of that series, and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 60 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Corporation by the Trustee or to the Corporation and the Trustee by the Holders

Section 502. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. 

If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the
Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series may declare the principal amount of all the Securities of that series (or, if any Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount
Securities, such portion of the principal amount of such Securities as may be specified by the terms thereof) and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Corporation (and to the
Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount) and accrued and unpaid interest shall become immediately due and payable. 

At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to 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 Event of Default giving rise to such declaration of acceleration shall, without further act, be deemed to have been waived, and such
declaration and its consequences shall, without further act, be deemed to have been rescinded and annulled, if 
 (1) the
Corporation has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay 
 (A) all overdue interest on all Securities of
that series which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, 
 (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, to the extent permitted by law, any interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities or, if no such rate
or rates are so provided, at the rate or respective rates, as the case may be, of interest borne by such Securities, 
 (C)
to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of 

  
 32 








 
acceleration at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities or, if no such rate or rates are so provided, at the rate or respective rates, as the case may be, of interest borne by
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 any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 607; 
 and 

(2) all Events of Default with respect to Securities of that series, other than the non-payment of the principal of or accrued
and unpaid interest on Securities of that series which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 513. 

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

Section 503. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by—Trustee. 

The Corporation 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, 
 (2) default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any
Security at the Maturity thereof, or 
 (3) default is made in the deposit of any mandatory sinking fund payment applicable
to any Security when due, 
 the Corporation will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, 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 or, if no such rate or rates are so provided, at the rate or respective rates, as the case may be, of interest borne by such Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall
be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 607. 

If the Corporation fails to pay the money it is required to pay the Trustee pursuant to the preceding paragraph forthwith upon demand of the
Trustee, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the money so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same
against the Corporation or any other obligor upon such Securities endorsed thereon and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Corporation or any other obligor upon such
Securities, wherever situated. 

  
 33 








 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
rights, 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 504. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 

In case of any judicial proceeding relative to the Corporation (or any other obligor upon the Securities), its property or its creditors, the
Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of such Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration of acceleration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Corporation
for the payment of overdue principal, premium, if any, or interest) 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 case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization adjustment, composition or other similar judicial proceeding relative to the Corporation, the
Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of such Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration of acceleration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Corporation
for the payment of overdue principal, premium, if any, or interest) shall be authorized to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal (and premium, if any) and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities of such series and
to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and
of the Holders of such Securities allowed in such judicial proceeding, 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 607. 

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. 

  
 34 








 Section 505. 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 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 506. Application of Money Collected. 

Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article 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 607; 

Second: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of and any premium and interest on the Securities in respect of which
or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the aggregate amounts due and payable on such Securities for principal and any premium and interest; and 

Third: To the payment of the balance, if any, to the Corporation or any other Person or Persons legally entitled thereto. 

Section 507. 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 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 reasonable indemnity 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 

  
 35 








 (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 principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series; 
 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. 

Section 508. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium -and Interest. 

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional,
to receive payment of the principal of and any premium and (subject to Section 307) interest on such Security on the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and to
institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. 

Section 509. 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 Corporation, 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 510. 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 306, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to 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 511. 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, to the extent permitted by law, impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. 

  
 36 








 Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may, to
the extent permitted by law, 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 512. Control By Holders. 

The Holders of a majority in 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, 

(2) subject to Section 601, the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent
with such direction, and 
 (3) such direction is not unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Securities of that
series not joining in that action. 
 Section 513. Waiver of Past Defaults. 

The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series with respect to which any default
under this Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing may, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, waive such past default under this Indenture with respect to such Securities 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 IX 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 be deemed
not to have occurred, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, 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 514. Undertaking for Costs. 

All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court
may in its discretion require, 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, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an
undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, against any party litigant in such suit having due regard to the merits and
good faith of the claims or defenses made

the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of Outstanding Securities of any series, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on any Security on or
after the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date). 

Section 515. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. 

The Corporation covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner
whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury law or any other law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which would prohibit or forgive the Corporation from paying all or any portion
of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any Securities as contemplated herein or therein or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Corporation (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby
expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such
law had been enacted.

its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. The permissive right of the Trustee to do things enumerated in
this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty to do such things and in no event shall the Trustee be liable for the consequences of any act or omission except to the extent of the Trustee’s negligence, negligent failure to act or willful
misconduct. Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section.

be given until at least 30 days after the occurrence thereof. For the purpose of this Section, the term “default” means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to
Securities of such series.

with respect to the Securities of such series, whether at the request or direction of any of the Holders thereof or pursuant to any other provision in this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or
indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction; 

(6) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate,

into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled, at reasonable times previously notified to the Corporation, to examine the relevant books, records
and premises of the Corporation, personally or by agent or attorney;

powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it

references the Securities and this Indenture. 
 Section 604. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities. 

The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee’s certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the
statements of the Corporation, and neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent assumes any responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities.

(2) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses,
disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement
or advance as may be attributable to its negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith; and 
 (3) to indemnify the Trustee
for, and to hold it harmless against, any and all loss, liability, damage, claim or expense, including taxes (other than taxes based on the income of the Trustee) incurred without negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on its

part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability
in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder. 
 The Trustee shall have a first priority lien
prior to the Securities upon all property and funds held by it hereunder for any amount owing it or any predecessor Trustee pursuant to this Section 607, except with respect to funds held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of Securities.

 Without limiting any rights available to the Trustee under applicable law, when the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in
connection with an Event of Default specified in Section 501(6) or Section 501(7), the expenses (including the reasonable charges and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of
administration under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law. 
 The provisions of this Section shall
survive the termination of this Indenture.

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

publishes 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 published. 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 610. 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 611.

 41 








 
Trustee required by Section 611 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition, at the expense
of the Corporation, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series. 

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 principal amount of
the Outstanding Securities of such series, delivered to the Trustee and the Corporation. 
 If at any time:

who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months, or 
 (2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under

 (3)

affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then, in any such case, (A) the Corporation by a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities, or (B) subject to Section 514, 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 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 Corporation, by Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities of that or those

series) and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 611. 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 be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Corporation and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of
such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 611, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Corporation. If no
successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the Corporation or the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 611, 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. 

  
 42 








 The Corporation 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 106. 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 611. 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 Corporation 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 Corporation or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges,
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 (subject to the lien provided for in Section 607). 
 In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee
with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Corporation, 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 (1) 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, (2) 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 (3) 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 Corporation 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. 

  
 43 








 Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Corporation 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. 

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 612. 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 the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided that 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 then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee
had itself authenticated such Securities. 
 Section 613. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Corporation. 

If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Corporation (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 Corporation (or any such other obligor). 

Section 614. Appointment of Authenticating Agent. 

The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents acceptable to the Corporation 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 exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 306, 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 Corporation 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 examination by federal or state authority. If such Authenticating Agent publishes
reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the 

  
 44 








 
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 published. 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 all or substantially all the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall
continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided that 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 Corporation. 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 Corporation. 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 Corporation and shall give notice of such appointment in the
manner provided in Section 106 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 Corporation agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section. 

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 is one of the Securities of the series designated therein referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

 ARTICLE X. 

COVENANTS 
 Section 1001.
Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest. 
 The Corporation covenants and agrees for the benefit 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. 

Section 1002. Maintenance of Office or Agency. 

The Corporation will maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of Securities 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 Corporation in respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture
may be served. The Corporation 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 Corporation shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or
shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Corporation hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to
receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands. 
 The Corporation 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 Corporation of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in each Place of Payment for Securities of any series for such purposes. The Corporation 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. 
 Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to
Section 301 of this Indenture, the Corporation hereby designates as a Place of Payment for each series of Securities the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and initially appoints the office of U.S. Bank National Association in the
Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, as its office or agency in that Place of Payment for such purpose. 
 Section 1003.
Money for Securities Payments to Be Held in Trust. 
 If the Corporation 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 Corporation shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of Securities, it will, on or prior to each due date of the
principal of or any premium or interest on 

  
 52 








 
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 Corporation will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. 
 The Corporation 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
(1) comply with the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act applicable to it as a Paying Agent and (2) during the continuance of any default by the Corporation (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 Corporation 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 hereunder by the Corporation 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
Corporation 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 Corporation, 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 Corporation on Company Request, or (if then held by the Corporation)
shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Corporation for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such
trust money, and all liability of the Corporation as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Corporation cause to
be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, New York, 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 Corporation.

Subject to Article VIII, the Corporation will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its
corporate existence, rights (charter and statutory) and franchises. 
 Section 1005. Statement by Officers as to Default. 

The Corporation will deliver to the Trustee, on or before October 15 of each calendar year or on or before such other day in each

any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided hereunder) and, if the Corporation shall be in default, specifying all such defaults and the nature and status
thereof of which they may have knowledge. 
 Section 1006. Waiver of Certain Covenants. 

Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of such series, the Corporation may, with respect to the
Securities of any series, omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in any covenant provided pursuant to Section 301(19) or 901(2) for the benefit of the Holders of such series if before the time
for such compliance the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such term,
provision or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such term, provision or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Corporation and the duties of the
Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in full force and effect. 
 ARTICLE XI. 

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES 

Section 1101. 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 301 for such Securities) in accordance with this Article. 
 Section 1102.
Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee. 
 The election of the Corporation to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by a Board
Resolution or in another manner specified as contemplated by Section 301 for such Securities. In case of any redemption at the election of the Corporation, the Corporation shall, at least 45 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the
Corporation (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee in its sole and absolute discretion), 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 (A) prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, or
(B) pursuant to an election of the Corporation which is subject to a condition specified in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Corporation shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate evidencing
compliance with such restriction or condition. 
  

  
 54 








 Section 1103. 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, by lot 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 Trustee shall promptly notify the Corporation in writing of the Securities selected for
redemption as aforesaid and, in the 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. 

Section 1104. 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 his address appearing in the Security Register. 
 All notices of
redemption shall state: 
 (1) the Redemption Date; 

(2) the Redemption Price; 

(3) if less than all the Outstanding Securities of any series and of a specified tenor 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 and of
a specified tenor consisting of a single Security are to be redeemed, the principal amount of the particular Security to be redeemed; 

  
 55 








 (4) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price, together with accrued
interest, if any, to the Redemption Date, 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; 

(5) the place or places where each such Security is to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest,
if any, unless it shall have been specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to such Securities that such surrender shall not be required; 

(6) that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case; 

(7) the CUSIP number of such Securities, if any, or any other numbers used by the Depositary to identify such securities; and

 (8) such other matters as the Corporation shall deem desirable or appropriate. 

Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Corporation shall be given by the Corporation or, at the
Corporation’s request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Corporation. Any such notice of redemption shall be irrevocable. 

On or prior to any Redemption Date, the Corporation shall deposit, with respect to the Securities of any series called for redemption pursuant
to this Section 1104, with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent an amount of money in the applicable currency sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and any accrued interest on, all such Securities or portion thereof which are to be redeemed
on that date. 
 Section 1105. Securities Payable on Redemption Date. 

Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities or portions thereof so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date,
become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the Corporation shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any) such Securities or portions thereof, if
interest-bearing, shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security or portion thereof shall be paid by the Corporation at the Redemption Price, together with accrued
interest, if any, to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that no such surrender shall be a condition to such payment if so specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to such Security, and provided further that, unless otherwise
specified as contemplated by Section 301, 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 Regular Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 307. 
 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 or, if no rate is prescribed
therefor in the Security, at the rate of interest, if any, borne by such Security. 

  
 56 








 Section 1106. 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 Corporation or the Trustee
so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Corporation and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Corporation 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. 
 ARTICLE XII. 

SINKING FUNDS 

Section 1201. Applicability of Article. 

The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of any series except as otherwise
specified as contemplated by Section 301 for such Securities. 
 The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the
terms of any Securities 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 such Securities is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund
payment.” If provided for by the terms of any Securities, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 1202. 

Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities as provided for by the terms of such Securities. 

Section 1202. Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities. 

The Corporation (1) may deliver Outstanding Securities of a series (other than any previously called for redemption) and (2) may
apply as a credit Securities of a series which have been redeemed either at the election of the Corporation 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 sinking fund payment with respect to any Securities of such series required to be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities as and to the extent provided for by the terms of such
Securities; provided that the Securities to be so credited have not been previously so credited. The Securities to be so credited shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the Redemption Price, as specified in the Securities
so to be redeemed, for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly. 

Section 1203. Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund. 

Not less than 45 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any Securities, the Corporation will deliver to the Trustee an
Officers’ Certificate specifying the amount of the next 

  
 57 








 
ensuing sinking fund payment for such Securities pursuant to the terms of such Securities, 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 pursuant to Section 1202 and stating the basis for such credit and that such Securities have not been previously so credited and will also deliver to the Trustee any
Securities to be so delivered. Not less than 30 days prior to each such sinking fund payment date, the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 1103 and cause
notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Corporation in the manner provided in Section 1104. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in
the manner stated in Sections 1105 and 1106. 
 ARTICLE XIII. 

DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE 

Section 1301. Applicability of Article. 

Unless, pursuant to Section 301, provision is made that either or both of (A) defeasance of any Securities or any series of
Securities under Section 1302 and (B) covenant defeasance of any Securities or any series of Securities under Section 1303 shall not apply to such Securities of a series, then the provisions of either or both of Sections 1302 and
Section 1303, as the case may be, together with Sections 1304 and 1305, shall be applicable to the Outstanding Securities of such series upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article. Unless otherwise specified pursuant to
Section 301, defeasance under Section 1302 and covenant defeasance under Section 1303 may be effected only with respect to all, and not less than all, the Securities of any series. 

To the extent that the Corporation is permitted, pursuant to Section 301, to defer interest payments, change the time for interest
payments, or change the Stated Maturity of the Securities of any series or any installment of principal thereof, any such right shall terminate upon defeasance or covenant defeasance of the Securities of that series as described below or upon
satisfaction and discharge with respect to the Securities of that series pursuant to Section 401. 
 Section 1302. Defeasance
and Discharge. 
 On and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 1304 are satisfied, the Corporation may cause itself to
be discharged from its obligations with respect to any Securities or any series of Securities (hereinafter called “Defeasance”). For this purpose, such Defeasance means that the Corporation 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 Securities are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Corporation, shall execute
proper instruments acknowledging the same), subject to the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (1) the rights of Holders of such Securities to receive, solely from the trust fund described in
Section 1304 and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of and any premium and interest on such Securities when payments are due, (2) the Corporation’s and Trustee’s obligations with respect
to such Securities under Sections 304, 305, 306, 1002, 1003 and 1306 

  
 58 








 
and with respect to the Trustee under Section 607, (3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder, and (4) this Article. Subject to compliance with
this Article, Defeasance with respect to any Securities or any series of Securities by the Corporation is permitted under this Section 1302 notwithstanding the prior exercise by the Corporation of its rights under Section 1303 with respect
to such Securities. Following a Defeasance, payment of such Securities may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default. 

Section 1303. Covenant Defeasance. 

On and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 1304 are satisfied, the Corporation may cause itself to be released from its
obligations under any covenants provided pursuant to Section 301(19) or 901(2) with respect to any Securities or any series of Securities for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities and the occurrence of any event specified in Sections
501(4) (with respect to any such covenants provided pursuant to Section 301(19), 901(2) or 501(8)) shall be deemed not to be or result in an Event of Default with respect to such Securities as provided in this Section (hereinafter called
“Covenant Defeasance”). For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to such Securities, the Corporation may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth
in any covenants added for the benefit of the Securities of such series pursuant to any such specified Section (to the extent so specified in the case of Section 501(4)), whether directly or indirectly by reason of any reference elsewhere
herein to any such Section or by reason of any reference in any such Section to any other provision herein or in any other document, but the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities shall be unaffected thereby. 

Following a Covenant Defeasance, payment of the Securities may not be accelerated by reference to the covenant described in the description of
Covenant Defeasance above. 
 Section 1304. Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 

The following shall be the conditions to the application of Section 1302 or Section 1303 to any Securities or any series of
Securities, as the case may be: 
 (1) The Corporation shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited with the
Trustee 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 Securities, (A) money in U.S. dollars in an amount, or
(B) Government Obligations which through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than one day before the due date of any payment due in respect of such
Securities, money in an amount, or (C) a combination thereof, in each case sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestments of such principal and interest, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants
expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the 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 on any Redemption Date established pursuant to Clause (3) below, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and such Securities, and any mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments applicable to such Securities


  
 59 








 
when such payments are due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and of such Securities. As used herein, “Government Obligation” means (x) any security which
is (i) a direct obligation of the United States of America or the government which issued the foreign currency in which such Securities are payable, for the payment of which its full faith and credit 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 or such government which issued the foreign currency in which such Securities are payable, the timely payment of which is unconditionally
guaranteed as a full faith and credit obligation by the United States of America or such other government, which, in either case (i) or (ii), is not callable or redeemable at the option of the issuer thereof, and (y) any depositary receipt
issued by a bank (as defined in Section 3(a)(2) of the Securities Act) as custodian with respect to any 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 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 Government Obligation or the specific payment of principal or interest evidenced by such depositary receipt. 

(2) No event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to such
Securities shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such deposit or, with regard to any such event specified in Sections 501(6) and (7), at any time on or prior to the 90th day after the date of such deposit (it being understood that
this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until after such 90th day). 
 (3) If the monies or Government Obligations or
combination thereof deposited pursuant to Clause (1) above are sufficient to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on such Securities provided such Securities are to be redeemed prior to Stated Maturity (other than
from mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments), notice of such redemption shall have been duly given pursuant to this Indenture or irrevocable instructions to redeem such Securities on such Redemption Date and to provide notice of such
redemption to Holders satisfactory to the Trustee shall have been made. 
 (4) In the case of Defeasance pursuant to
Section 1302, the Corporation shall have delivered to the Trustee an opinion of independent counsel stating that (x) the Corporation has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or
(y) since the date of this Indenture there has been a change in applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion of independent counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of such Outstanding
Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if
such Defeasance had not occurred; or, in the case of Covenant Defeasance pursuant to Section 1303, the Corporation shall have delivered to the Trustee an opinion of independent counsel to the effect that the Holders of such Outstanding
Securities will not recognize 

  
 60 








 
income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same
times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred. 
 (5) The Corporation 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 1305. Deposited Money and Government Obligations to Be Held in Trust; Miscellaneous Provisions. 

Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all money and Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof)
deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 1304 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 (other than the Corporation 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 Corporation shall
pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 1304 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 Corporation from time to time upon Company Request any money or Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 1304 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 1306. Reinstatement. 

If the Trustee or any Paying Agent is unable to apply any moneys or Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 401 or 1304 to
pay any principal of or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on the Securities of any series by reason of any legal proceeding or any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such
application, then the Corporation’s obligations under this Indenture and the Securities of such series shall be revived and reinstated as though no such deposit had occurred, until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply
all such moneys and Government Obligations to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Securities of such series as contemplated by Section 402 or 1305, as the case may be, provided, however, that if the
Corporation makes any payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on the Securities of such series following the reinstatement of its obligations as 

  
 61 








 
aforesaid, the Corporation shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the funds held by the Trustee or Paying Agent, but shall not be
entitled to enforce or to receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on all Securities of that series shall have been paid in full. 

ARTICLE XIV. 
 IMMUNITY OF
INCORPORATORS, 
 STOCKHOLDERS, OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS 

Section 1401. Indenture and Securities Solely Corporate Obligations. 

No recourse for the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any Security, or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in
respect thereof, and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Corporation in this Indenture or in any supplemental indenture, or in any Security, or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, shall
be had against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Corporation or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Corporation or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of
any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly understood that all such liability is hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as a consideration for,
the execution of this Indenture and the issue of the Securities.
