 Section 104. Acts of Holders. 

(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given 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. Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become
effective when such instrument or instruments or record or both are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such instrument or instruments and any such record (and the action embodied therein and
evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments and so voting at any such meeting. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent,
or of the holding by any Person of a Security, shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 315 of the Trust Indenture Act) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company and any agent of the Trustee or the
Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section. The record of any meeting of Holders of Securities shall be proved in the manner provided in Section 1406. 

Without limiting the generality of this Section 104, unless otherwise established in or pursuant to a Board Resolution or set forth or
determined in an Officer’s Certificate, or established in one or more indentures supplemental hereto, pursuant to Section 301, a Holder, including a Depository that is a Holder of a global Security, may make, give or take, by a proxy, or
proxies, duly appointed in writing, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided in this Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders, and a Depository that is a Holder of a global Security may
provide its proxy or proxies to the beneficial owners of interests in any such global Security through such Depository’s standing instructions and customary practices. 

The Trustee may fix a record date, which shall be not more than 30 days prior to the first solicitation of Holders, for the purpose of
determining the Persons who are beneficial owners of interest in any permanent global Security held by a Depository entitled under the procedures of such Depository to make, give or take, by a proxy or proxies duly appointed in writing, any request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided in this Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders to the Trustee. If such a record date is fixed, the Holders on such record date or their duly appointed proxy
or proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to make, give or take such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date. No such request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action shall be valid or effective if made, given or taken more than 90 days after such record date. 

(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved in any reasonable manner which the Trustee
deems sufficient and in accordance with such reasonable rules as the Trustee may determine; and the Trustee may in any instance require further proof with respect to any of the matters referred to in this Section. 

(c) The ownership, principal amount and serial numbers of Registered Securities held by any Person, and the date of the commencement and the
date of termination of holding the same, shall be proved by the Security Register. 

  
 12 








 (d) If the Company shall solicit from the Holders of any Registered Securities any request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, the Company may at its option, by Board Resolutions, fix in advance a record date, which shall be not more than 30 days prior to the first solicitation of such Holders, for the
determination of Holders of Registered Securities entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so. If such a record date is fixed, such request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act may be given before or after such record date, but only the Holders of Registered Securities of record at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders
for the purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of Outstanding Securities have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, whether or not such
Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided, that unless such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act shall have become effective by virtue of the requisite percentage having been obtained prior to
the date that is 90 days after such record date, any such Act previously given shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be cancelled and of no further effect. 

(e) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by 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 or suffered to be done by the Trustee, any Security
Registrar, any Paying Agent or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security. 

Section 105. Notices, Etc., to Trustee and Company. 

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this
Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with, 
  

	 	(1)	 the Trustee by any Holder or by the Company shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given,
furnished or filed in writing to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office; or 


  

	 	(2)	 the Company by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise
herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, or overnight courier guaranteeing next day delivery, to the Company addressed to the attention of its Treasurer at the address of its principal office specified in the
first paragraph of this Indenture or at any other address previously furnished in writing to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee by the Company. 



Section 106. Notice to Holders; Waiver. 

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any Security, where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice
shall be sufficiently given to Holders of Registered Securities if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of a Registered Security affected by such event, at his or her address as it appears in the Security Register, not
later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. 

  
 13 








 In any case where notice to Holders of Registered Securities is given by mail, neither the
failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder of a Registered Security shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders of Registered Securities. Any notice which is mailed in
the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given or provided. In the 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. 

Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice,
either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in
reliance upon such waiver. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or any Security, where this Indenture or any global
Security provides for notice of any event (including any notice of redemption or repurchase) to a Holder of a global Security (whether by mail or otherwise), such notice shall be sufficiently given if given to the Depository (or its designee)
pursuant to the standing instructions from the Depository or its designee, including by electronic mail in accordance with Applicable Procedures. 

Section 107. Language of Notices. 

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, election or waiver required or permitted under this Indenture shall be in the
English language, except that, if the Company so elects, any published notice may be in an official language of the country of publication. 

Section 108. Conflict With Trust Indenture Act. 

If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with the duties imposed pursuant to Section 318(c) of the Trust Indenture Act, such
imposed duties shall control. 
 Section 109. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. 

The Article and Section headings herein, the Trust Indenture Act reconciliation and tie, and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and
shall not affect the construction hereof. 
 Section 110. Successors and Assigns. 

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

  
 14 








 Section 111. Separability Clause. 

In case any provision in this Indenture, any Security 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 112. Benefits of Indenture. 

Nothing in this Indenture or any Security, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto, any Security Registrar,
any Paying Agent and their successors hereunder, the Holders of Securities and holders of Senior Indebtedness, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture. 

Section 113. Governing Law. 

This Indenture and the Securities shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
                         applicable to agreements made or instruments entered into and, in each case, performed in said state.

 Section 114. Legal Holidays. 

In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity of any Security is not a Business Day at any Place of Payment,
then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or any Security, other than a provision in any Security that specifically states that such provision shall apply in lieu of this Section) payment of interest or any Additional Amounts 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, and no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity, as the case may be. 

Section 115. Jury Trial Waiver. 

EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE TRUSTEE HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL
BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS INDENTURE OR THE SECURITIES OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. 

Section 116. U.S.A. PATRIOT Act. 

The Company acknowledges that in accordance with Section 326 of the U.S.A. PATRIOT Act, the Trustee, like all financial institutions and
in order to help fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering, is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person or legal entity that establishes a relationship or opens an account with the Trustee. The parties
to this Indenture agree that they will provide the Trustee with such information as it may request in order for the Trustee to satisfy the requirements of the U.S.A. PATRIOT Act.

		 		 	Authorized Signatory

 Section 203. Securities in Global Form. 

If Securities of a series are issuable in global form, any such Security may provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of
Outstanding Securities of such series from time to time endorsed thereon and may also provide that the aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities represented thereby may from time to time be increased or reduced to reflect exchanges pursuant to a
schedule thereto. Any endorsement of any Security in global form to reflect the amount, or any increase or decrease in the amount, or changes in the rights of Holders, of Outstanding Securities represented thereby shall be made in such manner and by
such Person or Persons as shall be specified therein, pursuant to Applicable Procedures, or in the Company Order to be delivered pursuant to Section 303 or 304 with respect thereto. Subject to the provisions of Section 303 and, if
applicable, Section 304, the Trustee shall deliver and redeliver any Security in permanent global form in the manner and upon instructions given by the Person or Persons specified therein, pursuant to Applicable Procedures, or in the applicable
Company Order. 

  
 16 








 The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall apply to any Security represented by a
Security in global form if such Security was never issued and sold by the Company and the Company delivers to the Trustee the Security in global form together with written instructions (which need not comply with Section 102 and need not be
accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) with regard to the reduction in the principal amount of Securities represented thereby, together with the written statement contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence. 

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 307, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, payment of principal of
and any premium and interest on any Security in permanent global form shall be made to the Person or Persons specified therein. 

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 309 and except as provided in the preceding paragraph, in the case of a permanent global
Security in registered form, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company and the Trustee shall treat the Holder of such permanent global Security in registered form as the Holder of such principal amount of Outstanding Securities
represented by a permanent global Security. The Company, the Trustee, and each Agent shall have no responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by the Depository. Subject to Section 301(20), the Company initially appoints the Trustee to
act as the Registrar and Paying Agent and to act as Depository Custodian with respect to the global Securities unless provided otherwise with respect to such series. In acting hereunder and in connection with the Securities, the Paying Agent and
Registrar shall act solely as agents of the Issuer, and will not thereby assume any obligations towards or relationship of agency or trust for or with any Holder. The Trustee and each Agent are hereby authorized to act in accordance with Applicable
Procedures. 
 The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on
transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Security (including any transfers between or among the Depository or other beneficial owners of interests in any Security in global
form) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial
compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof. Neither the Trustee, or any of it respective agents, shall have responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by a Depository. 

The Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of a Security in global form, a member of, or a participant in, the applicable
Depository or other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of a Depository or its nominee or of any participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Securities or with respect to the delivery to any
participant, member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than the Depository) of any notice (including any notice of redemption or purchase) or the payment of any amount or delivery of any Securities (or other security or property) under or with
respect to such Securities. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders in respect of the Securities shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the


  
 17 








 
registered Holders (which shall be the Depository or its nominee in the case of a Security in global form). The rights of beneficial owners in any Security in global form shall be exercised only
through the applicable Depository subject to the applicable rules and procedures of the Depository. The Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the applicable Depository with respect to its members,
participants and any beneficial owners.

such Officer’s Certificate or in any indenture or indentures supplemental hereto pertaining to such series of Securities. All Securities of any one series need not be issued at the same time and, unless otherwise so provided by the Company, a
series may be reopened for issuances of additional Securities of such series. 
 If any of the terms of the Securities of any series were
established by action taken by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, the Board Resolution shall be delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Officer’s Certificate setting forth the terms of such series. No Officers’
Certificate shall change the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or with respect to any series of Securities, except as the Trustee may agree in writing. 

Section 302. Denominations. 

Unless otherwise established with respect to any Securities pursuant to Section 301, the Registered Securities of each series, if any,
denominated in Dollars shall be issuable in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. Securities not denominated in Dollars shall be issuable in such denominations as are established with
respect to such Securities pursuant to Section 301. 
 Section 303. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. 

The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board of Directors, its President, Treasurer or one of its
Vice Presidents. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile. 
 Securities bearing the manual or
facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, 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 Company may deliver Securities of any series executed by the Company, to the Trustee for authentication, and, provided that the Board Resolution or Resolutions and Officer’s Certificate or supplemental indenture
or indentures with respect to such Securities referred to in Section 301 and a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, has been delivered to the Trustee, the Trustee in accordance with the Company Order and subject
to the provisions hereof of such Securities shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. In authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be
entitled to receive, and (subject to Sections 315(a) through 315(b) of the Trust Indenture Act) shall be fully protected in relying upon, 
  

	 	(1)	 an Opinion of Counsel stating, to the effect 



  
 21 









	 	(a)	 that the form or forms and terms of such Securities, if any, have been established in conformity with the
provisions of this Indenture; 


  

	 	(b)	 that all conditions precedent to the authentication and delivery of such Securities have been complied with and
that such Securities, when completed by appropriate insertion and executed and delivered by the Company to the Trustee for authentication pursuant to this Indenture, and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company in the
manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, this Indenture and such Securities will constitute legally valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms,
subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is
sought in a proceeding in equity or at law) and will entitle the Holders thereof to the benefits of the Indenture; provided that such Opinion of Counsel need express no opinion as to the availability of equitable remedies; and 



 

	 	(2)	 an Officer’s Certificate pursuant to Section 102 and also stating that, to the knowledge of the
Person executing such certificate, no Event of Default with respect to any of the Securities shall have occurred and be continuing. 



The Trustee shall not be required to authenticate or to cause an Authenticating Agent to authenticate any 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 or if the Trustee, being advised
by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith shall determine that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability to existing Holders. 

Each Registered 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 in Section 202 or 611 executed by or on behalf of the Trustee by the manual signature of one of its authorized officers, and such certificate upon any Security
shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. 

Section 304. Temporary Securities. 

Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute and deliver to the Trustee and, upon Company Order the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the manner provided in Section 303, temporary Securities of such series 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 

  
 22 








 
issued, in registered form and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers of the Company executing such Securities may determine, as
conclusively evidenced by their execution of such Securities. In the case of Securities of any series, such temporary Securities may be in global form. 

Except in the case of temporary Securities in global form, which shall be exchanged in accordance with the provisions thereof, if temporary
Securities of any series are issued, the Company shall cause definitive Securities of such series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the temporary Securities of such series, if
any, shall be exchangeable upon request for definitive Securities of such series containing identical terms and provisions upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such series at an office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose
pursuant to Section 1002, without charge to any Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any series, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like
principal amount of definitive Securities of authorized denominations of the same series containing identical terms and provisions. Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to a temporary global Security, 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. 

Section 305. Registration, Transfer and Exchange. 

With respect to the Registered Securities of each series, if any, the Company shall cause to be kept, at an office or agency of the Company
maintained pursuant to Section 1002 (the “Security Registrar”), a register (each such register being herein sometimes referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may
prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of the Registered Securities of each series and of transfers of the Registered Securities of such series. The Trustee is hereby initially appointed as Security Registrar for each series of
Securities. In the event that the Trustee shall cease to be Security Registrar with respect to a series of Securities, the Trustee shall have the right to examine the Security Register for such series at all reasonable times. 

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Registered Security of any series at any office or agency of the Company maintained for
such series pursuant to Section 1002, the Company shall execute, and upon receipt of a Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Registered Securities of
the same series of any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding and containing identical terms and provisions. 

At the option of the Holder, Registered Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Registered Securities of the same series
containing identical terms and provisions, in any authorized denominations, and of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at any such office or agency. Whenever any Registered Securities are so
surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and upon receipt of a Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Registered Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 

  
 23 








 Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301,
any global Security of any series shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities of such series only if 
  

	 	(i)	 the Securities Depository is at any time unwilling or unable or ineligible to continue as Securities Depository
and a successor depository is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of the date the Company is so notified in writing; 


  

	 	(ii)	 the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee a Company Order to the effect that such global Security shall
be so exchangeable; or 


  

	 	(iii)	 an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Securities and the Registrar has
received a written request from the Depository to issue definitive securities. 


 If the beneficial owners of interests in
a global Security are entitled to exchange such interests for definitive Securities of such series and of like tenor and principal amount of any authorized form and denomination, as specified as contemplated by Section 301, then without
unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the earliest date on which such interests may be so exchanged, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee definitive Securities of that series in aggregate principal amount equal to the principal
amount of such global Security, executed by the Company. On or after the earliest date on which such interests may be so exchanged, such global Security shall be surrendered from time to time by the Depository or such other depository as shall be
specified in the Company Order with respect thereto, and in accordance with instructions given to the Trustee and the Depository or such other depository, as the case may be (which instructions shall be in writing but need not comply with
Section 102 or be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel), as shall be specified in the Company Order with respect thereto to the Trustee, as the Company’s agent for such purpose, to be exchanged, in whole or in part, for definitive
Securities of the same series without charge. 
 Upon receipt of a Company Order, 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 which shall be in the form of Registered Securities, or any combination thereof, as shall be specified by the Depository. However, no such exchanges may occur during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before any
selection of Securities of such series to be redeemed and ending on the relevant Redemption Date. Promptly following any such exchange in part, such global Security shall be disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its procedures for the
disposition of cancelled securities in effect as of the date of such disposition. If a Registered Security is issued in exchange for any portion of a global Security after the close of business at the office or agency where such exchange occurs on

  

	 	(i)	 any Regular Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the relevant Interest
Payment Date; or 



  
 24 









	 	(ii)	 any Special Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the related proposed
date for payment of interest or Defaulted Interest, 


 interest will not be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for
payment, as the case may be, in respect of such Registered Security, but will be payable on such Interest Payment 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 is payable in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. 
 All Securities endorsed thereon issued upon any registration of
transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company evidencing the same debt, and entitling the Holders thereof to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer
or exchange. 
 Every Registered Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange or redemption shall (if so
required by the Company or the Security Registrar for such series of Security presented) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and such Security Registrar duly executed by the
Holder thereof or his or her attorney duly authorized in writing. 
 No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer,
exchange or redemption of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than
exchanges pursuant to Section 304, 306, 906 or 1107 not involving any transfer. 
 Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 301, the Company shall not be required 
  

	 	(i)	 to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Securities of any series during a period beginning at the
opening of business 15 days before the day of the selection for redemption of Securities of such series under Section 1103 and ending at the close of business on the day of such selection; 



 

	 	(ii)	 to register the transfer of or exchange any Registered Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part,
except in the case of any Security to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed; or 


  

	 	(iii)	 to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Security which, in accordance with its terms specified as
contemplated by Section 301, has been surrendered for repayment at the option of the Holder, except the portion, if any, of such Security not to be repaid. 



Section 306. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities. 

If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 306, the Company shall execute and upon
receipt of a Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same series containing identical terms and of like principal amount. 

  
 25 








 If there be delivered to the Company and to the Trustee 

 

	 	(i)	 evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security; and 



 

	 	(ii)	 such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them
harmless, 


 then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser,
the Company shall execute and upon its request in a Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same series containing
identical terms and of like principal amount. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 306, in case any such
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security. However, payment of principal of (and premium, if any), shall,
except as otherwise provided in Section 1002, be payable only at an office or agency located outside the United States. 
 Upon the
issuance of any new Security under this Section, the Company and/or the Trustee may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the
fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. 
 Every new Security of any series issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any
destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute a separate obligation of the Company, 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. 
 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. 

Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, interest on any Registered 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 as of the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest. 

Any interest on any Registered Security of any series which shall be payable, but shall not be punctually paid or duly provided for, on any
Interest Payment Date for such Registered Security (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 Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (1) or (2) below: 

  
 26 









	 	(1)	 The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Registered
Securities affected (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the
Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each such Registered Security and the date of the proposed payment. At the same time, the Company shall deposit on or 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. When deposited, such money will be held in trust for the
benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as provided in this clause (1). The Company shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of 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 providing the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of such Special Record Date. Unless the Trustee is acting as the Security
Registrar, promptly after such Special Record Date, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with a list, or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee with respect thereto, of the names and addresses of, and principal amounts of Registered
Securities of such series held by, the Holders appearing on the Security Register at the close of business on such Special Record Date. In the name and at the expense of the Company, the Trustee shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such
Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of such Registered Securities at his or her address as it appears in the Security Register not less than 10 days prior to such Special
Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names such Registered Securities (or their
respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (2). 



 

	 	(2)	 The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the
requirements of any securities exchange on which such Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause (2), such
payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. 


 At the option of the Company, interest on Registered Securities of
any series that bear interest may be paid by mailing a check to the address of the person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register. 

  
 27 








 Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 307 and Section 305, 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. 

None of the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Security Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the
records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. 

Section 308. Persons Deemed Owners. 

Prior to due presentment of a Registered Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the
Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Registered Security is registered as the owner of such Registered Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any), and (subject to Sections 305 and 307) interest on
or any Additional Amounts with respect to such Registered Security, and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not any payment with respect to such Registered Security be overdue. Neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company
or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 Section 309. Cancellation. 

All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer, exchange or for credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if
surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee or the Security Registrar, be delivered to the Trustee or the Security Registrar. Any such Securities and Securities surrendered directly to the Trustee or the Security Registrar for any such purpose
shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee or the Security Registrar, as the case may be. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee or the Security Registrar for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder
which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever. All Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee or the Security Registrar, as the case may be. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for
any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture or as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301. The Trustee shall dispose of cancelled Securities in accordance with its procedures
for the disposition of cancelled securities in effect as of the date of such disposition, and certification of the disposition of all cancelled Notes shall be delivered to the Company upon cancellation upon request. 

Section 310. Computation of Interest. 

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. 

Section 311. CUSIP Numbers. 

The Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee may use
“CUSIP” numbers in notices as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of 

  
 28 








 
such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such
notice shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers. 

ARTICLE IV. 

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE 

Section 401. Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. 

Upon the direction of the Company by a Company Order, this Indenture shall cease to be of further effect with respect to any series of
Securities specified in such Company Order (except as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of Securities of such series herein expressly provided for and any right to receive Additional Amounts, as provided in
Section 1004). The Trustee, on receipt of a Company Order, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as to such series, when 

 

	 	(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 Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 1003) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

	 	(i)	 have become due and payable; or 



 

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



 

	 	(iii)	 will not become due and payable within one year of the date of the Company’s depositing of funds, as
described in the succeeding paragraph, but with the giving of notice of such deposit to the Holders of the Securities; or 


  

	 	(iv)	 if redeemable at the option of the Company, such Securities are to be called for redemption within one year
under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company, and the Company, in the case of (b)(i), (ii) or (iii) above, has deposited or caused to be
deposited with the Trustee as funds in trust, lawful 



  
 29 









	 	
money of the United States or Government Obligations which, through the payment of interest and principal or other amounts in respect thereof in accordance with their terms, will provide not
later than the opening of business on the due dates of any payment of principal (and premium, if any) and interest, or any Additional Amounts with respect thereto, or a combination thereof, in an amount sufficient (if a combination involving
Government Obligations, in the written opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accounting firm delivered to the Trustee) to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee
for cancellation, for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, or any Additional Amounts with respect thereto, 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 Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company; and



  

	 	(3)	 the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating
that no Event of Default or event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become an Event of Default with respect to such Securities shall have occurred and all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and
discharge of the entire indebtedness on all Outstanding Securities of any such series have been complied with. 


 In the
event there are Securities of two or more series hereunder, the Trustee shall be required to execute an instrument acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture only if requested to do so with respect to Securities of all series as to
which it is Trustee and if the other conditions thereto are met. In the event there are two or more Trustees hereunder, then the effectiveness of any such instrument shall be conditioned upon receipt of such instruments from all Trustees hereunder.

 Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Section 606
and, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (b) of clause (1) of this Section, the obligations of the Trustee under Section 402 and the last paragraph of Section 1003 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 or this
Section 402 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as
the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and any interest or any Additional Amounts for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee. Such money need not be segregated from
other funds except to the extent required by law.

 Section 403. Satisfaction, Discharge and Defeasance of Securities of Any Series. 

If pursuant to Section 301 provision is made for defeasance of Securities of any series pursuant to this Section 403, the Company
shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness on all the Outstanding Securities of such series and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of such
indebtedness, when 
  

	 	(1)	 either 


  

	 	(a)	 with respect to all Outstanding Securities of such series, 



 

	 	(i)	 the Company has deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee, as trust funds in trust for such purpose,
an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on all Outstanding Securities of such series for principal (and premium, if any), any Additional Amounts, and interest to the Stated Maturity or any Redemption Date as contemplated by
the penultimate paragraph of this Section 403, as the case may be; or 


  

	 	(ii)	 with respect to any series of Securities which are denominated in United States dollars, the Company has
deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee, Government Obligations in trust for such purpose, such amount of direct obligations of, or obligations the timely payment of the principal of and interest on which are fully guaranteed by, the
United States of America and which are not callable at the option of the issuer thereof as will, together with the income to accrue thereon without consideration of any reinvestment thereof, be sufficient, in the written opinion of a nationally
recognized firm of independent public accountants delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on all Outstanding Securities of such series for principal (and premium, if any), any Additional Amounts, and interest to the
stated Maturity or any Redemption Date as contemplated by the penultimate paragraph of this Section 403; or 


  

	 	(b)	 the Company has properly fulfilled such other means of satisfaction and discharge as is specified, as
contemplated by Section 301, to be applicable to the Securities of such series; and 


  

	 	(2)	 the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder with respect to the Outstanding
Securities of such series; and 



  
 31 









	 	(3)	 the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that no Event of Default or
event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become an Event of Default with respect to such Securities shall have occurred and an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that all conditions precedent herein
provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of the entire indebtedness on all Outstanding Securities of any such series have been complied with; and 



 

	 	(4)	 the Company has delivered to the Trustee 



 

	 	(a)	 a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service or an opinion of independent counsel that the holders of the
Securities of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit, defeasance and discharge and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the
same times, as would have been the case if such deposit, defeasance and discharge had not occurred; and 


  

	 	(b)	 if the Securities of such series are then listed on the New York Stock Exchange, an Opinion of Counsel that the
Securities of such series will not be delisted as a result of the exercise of this option. 


 Any deposits with the
Trustee referred to in subsection (1)(a) of this Section shall be irrevocable and shall be made under the terms of a trust agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee. If any Outstanding Securities of such series are to be redeemed
prior to their Stated Maturity, whether pursuant to any optional redemption or repayment provisions or in accordance with any mandatory sinking fund requirement, the Company shall make such arrangements as are satisfactory to the Trustee for the
giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company. The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge properly imposed on or assessed against the Trustee with respect to
the cash or Government Obligations deposited pursuant to this Article IV or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which is held hereunder for the account of the Holders of the outstanding
Notes. 
 Upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 403 with respect to all the Outstanding Securities of any
series, the terms and conditions of such series, including the terms and conditions with respect thereto set forth in this Indenture (other than the provisions of Sections 305, 306, and 1002, and other than the right of Holders of Securities of such
series to receive, from the trust fund described in this Section, payment of the principal (and premium, if any) of the interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to such Securities when such payments are due, and the rights, powers, duties
and immunities of the Trustee hereunder) shall no longer be binding upon, or applicable to, the Company except those responsibilities and obligations which by the terms of the Indenture survive the termination of the Indenture; provided that the
Company shall not be discharged from any payment obligations in respect of Securities of such series which are deemed not to be Outstanding under clause (iii) of the definition thereof if such obligations continue to be valid obligations of the
Company under applicable law.

such series of Securities is issued or in the form of Security for such series. 


 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 502. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. 

If an Event of Default under clauses (5) or (6) of Section 501 hereof with respect to Securities of any series at the time
Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series may declare the principal of all the Securities of that series, or such lesser amount as may
be provided for in the Securities of that series, to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal or such lesser amount shall become
immediately due and payable. All outstanding Securities will become due and payable immediately, only upon an Event of Default specified in clauses (5) or (6) of Section 501 hereunder. 

  
 34 








 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 V provided, the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that
series, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if 
  

	 	(1)	 the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay 



 

	 	(a)	 all overdue installments of interest on and any Additional Amounts payable in respect of all Securities of such
series; 


  

	 	(b)	 the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Securities of such series which have become due otherwise than
by such declaration of acceleration and interest thereon at the rate or rates borne by or provided for in such Securities; 


  

	 	(c)	 to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue installments of interest or any
Additional Amounts at the rate or rates borne by or provided for in such Securities; 


  

	 	(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 as provided in Section 606 hereof; and 


  

	 	(2)	 all Events of Default with respect to Securities of such series have been cured or waived as provided in
Section 512. 


 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 Company covenants that if 
  

	 	(1)	 default is made in the payment of any installment of interest on or any Additional Amounts payable in respect
of any Security when such interest or Additional Amounts shall have become due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days; or 


  

	 	(2)	 default is made in the payment of the principal of, interest (or premium, if any, on) any Security at its
Maturity and such default continues for 30 days; 


 the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the
Holders of such Securities, the amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal (and premium, if any), if any, and interest or Additional Amounts, if any, with interest upon the overdue principal (and premium, if any). In addition, the
Company shall pay to the Trustee 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. 

  
 35 








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

Section 504. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 

In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other
judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities shall then be due
and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of any overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention
in such proceeding or otherwise, 
  

	 	(1)	 to file and prove a claim for the whole amount or such lesser amount as may be provided for in the Securities
of such series, of principal (and premium, if any) and interest and any Additional Amounts owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities 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 or counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding; and 



 

	 	(2)	 to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute
the same. 


 Any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such
judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder of Securities to make such payments to the Trustee or, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders of Securities, to pay to the Trustee
any amount due to 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 606. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 606 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be
secured by a lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or
arrangement or otherwise. 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’ committee or other similar committee. 

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder of a
Security 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 of a Security in any such proceeding.


  
 36 








 Section 505. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities. 

All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or any of 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 or judgment, after
provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, shall 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 or property collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article, and after an Event of Default, any money or other property
distributable in respect of the Company’s obligations under this Indenture, 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 (and premium,
if any), interest or any Additional Amounts, 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 and any predecessor Trustee under Section 606;
		
	 SECOND:
	  	To holders of Senior Indebtedness in the manner provided in Article XV;
		
	 THIRD:
	  	To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon the Securities for principal (and premium, if any) and interest or any Additional Amounts payable 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 premium, if any), interest or any Additional Amounts, respectively;
		
	 FOURTH:
	  	The balance, if any, to the Company.

 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 such series; 



  
 37 









	 	(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 security and/or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee 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 security and/or indemnity has
failed to institute any such proceeding; and 


  

	 	(5)	 no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series; 



it being understood and intended that these limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by a Holder for the enforcement of payment of the principal of or
any premium and interest on the Security on or after the Maturity thereof and 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 or any Security to affect,
disturb or prejudice the rights of any other such Holders or Holders of Securities of any other series, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the
manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all such Holders. 
 Section 508. Unconditional Right of Holders to
Receive Principal, Premium, Interest and Additional Amounts. 
 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 premium, if any) and (subject to Sections 305 and 307) interest on or any Additional Amounts in respect of such Security on the
respective Stated Maturity or Maturities specified in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment. Such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such
Holder. 
 If the Trustee or any Holder of a Security 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 the Company, the Trustee and each such Holder shall, subject to any determination in
such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and each such Holder shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted. 

  
 38 








 Section 509. 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 each and every Holder of a Security is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy. Every right and remedy, to the extent permitted by
law, shall 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 510. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. 

No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Security to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall
impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article V or by law to the Trustee or to any Holder of a Security may be exercised from time to
time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by such Holder, as the case may be. 
 Section 511. 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)	 the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such
direction; 


  

	 	(3)	 such direction is not unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Securities of such series (it being
understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not any such directions are unduly prejudicial to such Holders); and 


  

	 	(4)	 such direction shall not involve the Trustee in personal liability. 



Section 512. Waiver of Past Defaults. 

The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series may on behalf of the Holders of all the
Securities of such series waive any past default hereunder with respect to such series and its consequences, except a default 
  

	 	(1)	 in the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on or Additional Amounts payable in
respect of 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. 



  
 39 








 Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any default arising therefrom shall
be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

Section 513. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. 

The Company 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 wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture. The Company (to the extent that it may
lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it 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. 
 Section 514. Undertaking for Costs 

In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted
by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’
fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 514 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a Security
pursuant to Section 508 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the then Outstanding Securities of a series. 

ARTICLE VI. 
 THE
TRUSTEE 
 Section 601. Notice of Defaults. 

Within 90 days after the occurrence of any default hereunder with respect to the Securities of any series, the Trustee shall transmit in the
manner and to the extent provided in Section 313(c) of the Trust Indenture Act, notice of such default hereunder known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, unless such default shall have been cured or waived. However, except in the case of a
default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on, or any Additional Amounts with respect to, any Security of such series or in the payment of any sinking fund installment with respect to Securities of such series, the
Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of directors and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determine that the withholding of such
notice is in the interests of the Holders of Securities of such series; provided, further, that in the case of default of the character specified in Section 501(4) with respect to Securities of such series, no such notice to Holders shall be
given until at least 60 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. 

  
 40 








 Section 602. Certain Rights and Obligations of Trustee. 

 

	 	(a)	 If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual
notice, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such
person’s own affairs. 


  

	 	(b)	 Except during the continuance of an Event of Default: 



 

	 	(i)	 the duties of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture and the
Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and 



 

	 	(ii)	 in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements
and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether
or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of any mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein). 



 

	 	(c)	 The Trustee may not be relieved from liabilities for its own grossly negligent action, its own grossly
negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that: 


  

	 	(i)	 this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section 602; 



 

	 	(ii)	 the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless
it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and 


  

	 	(iii)	 the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in
accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Sections 102, 104, and 511.

Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 602. 


  

	 	(e)	 No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any
financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it has reasonable grounds for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability
is not reasonably assured to it. The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the performance of its powers or duties hereunder. 



  
 41 









	 	(f)	 Subject to the provisions of Sections 315(a) through 315(d) of the Trust Indenture Act: 



 

	 	(i)	 the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any
resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, or other paper or document (whether in its original, facsimile or electronic form) reasonably believed by it to be
genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties; 


  

	 	(ii)	 any request or direction of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Company Request
or a Company Order or an Officer’s Certificate (other than delivery of any Security to the Trustee for authentication and delivery pursuant to Section 303 which shall be sufficiently evidenced as provided therein) and any resolution of the
Board of Directors may be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution or Board Resolutions; 


  

	 	(iii)	 whenever in the administration of this Indenture, the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved

reasonably believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture; 


  

	 	(ix)	 the Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer

 Section 603. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities. 

The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, and the information in any
prospectus or prospectus supplement, including all attachments thereto, except information provided directly by the Trustee therein, shall be taken as the statements of the Company and neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent assumes
responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities and shall not be responsible for any statement in any document in connection with the sale of any
series of Securities. Under no circumstances shall the Trustee be liable in its individual capacity for the obligations evidenced by the Securities. 

The Trustee represents that it is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Indenture, authenticate the Securities and perform its
obligations hereunder and that the statements made by it in a Statement of Eligibility on Form T-1 supplied to the Company are true and accurate at the date of execution, subject to the qualifications set
forth therein. The Trustee or any Authenticating Agent shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of Securities or the proceeds thereof or any funds paid to the Company pursuant to its direction in accordance with this
Indenture. 
 Section 604. May Hold Securities. 

The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Security Registrar or any other Person that may be an agent of the Trustee or the
Company, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and, subject to Sections 310(b) and 311 of the Trust Indenture Act, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not
Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Security Registrar or such other Person. 
 Section 605. Money Held in Trust. 

Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law and shall be held
uninvested.

 Section 606. Compensation and Reimbursement. 

The Company agrees 
  

	 	(1)	 to pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder as shall be
mutually agreed upon by the Company and the Trustee in writing (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust); 



 

	 	(2)	 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 reasonable expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be
attributable to its gross negligence or willful misconduct; and 


  

	 	(3)	 to indemnify each of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee and its officers, directors, employees and agents
for, and to hold them harmless against, any liability, claim, damage or expense including reasonable counsel fees and expenses and taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee) incurred without gross
negligence or willful misconduct on their part (as finally adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction), arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts hereunder, including the costs and expenses of
defending themselves against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of their powers or duties hereunder. 



The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any third-party claim for which it may seek indemnity of which it has
received written notice. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder unless, and solely to the extent that, such failure materially prejudices the Company’s defense of such claim.
The Company shall defend the claim, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall provide reasonable cooperation at the Company’s expense in the defense; provided that if the defendants in any such claim include
both the Company and the Trustee and the Trustee shall have concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the Company, or the Trustee has concluded that there may be any other
actual or potential conflicting interests between the Company and the Trustee, the Trustee shall have the right to select separate counsel and the Company shall be required to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel. Any
settlement which affects the Trustee may not be entered into without the written consent of the Trustee, unless the Trustee is given a full and unconditional release from liability with respect to the claims covered thereby and such settlement does
not include a statement or admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of the Trustee. Any settlement by the Trustee which affects the Company may not be entered into without the written consent of the Company, unless such
settlement does not include a statement or admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of the Company.

shall have a lien prior to the Securities of any series upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the payment of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on Securities. When the Trustee
incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default occurs, the expenses and compensation for the services of the Trustee are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any bankruptcy law or any similar federal or state law

removal of the Trustee. “Trustee” for the purposes of this Section 606 shall include any predecessor Trustee and the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder and each agent, custodian and other person employed to act hereunder;

accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article. If the Trustee has or shall acquire any conflicting interest, as defined in Section 310(b) of the
Trust Indenture Act, with respect to the Securities of any series, the Trustee shall take such action as is required pursuant to said Section 310(b). There shall be excluded from the operation of Trust Indenture Act Section 310(b)(i) any series of
Securities and any indenture or indentures under which other securities or certificates of interest or participation in other securities of the Company are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in Trust Indenture Act Section

shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee pursuant to Section 609. 


  

	 	(2)	 The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of one or more series by giving written
notice thereof to the Company. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 609 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to such series. 


  

	 	(3)	 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 Company. If an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee shall not have been delivered to

appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series. 

  

	 	(4)	 If at any time: 


  

	 	(a)	 the Trustee shall fail to comply with the obligations imposed upon it under Section 310(b) of the Trust
Indenture Act after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months; or 



 

	 	(b)	 the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 607 and shall fail to resign after written request
therefor by the Company or by any such Holder of a Security; or 


  

	 	(c)	 the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the
Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation;

	 	(i)	 the Company, by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, may remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities, or



  

	 	(ii)	 subject to Section 315(e) of the Trust Indenture Act, any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder
of a Security of any series for at least six months may, on behalf of such Holder and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all Securities of such series and the
appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees. 


  

	 	(5)	 If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the
office of Trustee for any cause, with respect to the Securities of one or more series, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such
successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any particular series) and shall comply with the applicable
requirements of Section 609. 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 Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in




  
 47 









	 	
accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 609, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee
appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders of Securities and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 609, any Holder
of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of such Holder 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. 

  

	 	(6)	 The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to the
Securities of any series and each appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series by mailing written notice of such event by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the Holders of Registered Securities, if any, of such
series as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register. 


 Section 609. Acceptance of Appointment by
Successor. 
  

	 	(1)	 In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to all Securities, every such
successor Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and 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. On the written request of the Company and/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 nevertheless to its claim, if any, provided for in Section 606. 


  

	 	(2)	 In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but
not all) series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such
appointment and which 


  

	 	(a)	 shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in,
each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; 



  
 48 









	 	(b)	 if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall
be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in
the retiring Trustee; and 


  

	 	(c)	 shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or
facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee. 


 Nothing herein or in such supplemental
indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust, 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 that no Trustee shall be responsible for any notice given to, or received by, or any act or failure to act on the part of any other Trustee hereunder, 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, such retiring Trustee shall with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates
have no further responsibility for the exercise of rights and powers or for the performance of the duties and obligations vested in the Trustee under this Indenture other than as hereinafter expressly set forth, 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 the written request of the Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee, to the extent contemplated by such supplemental indenture, the 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. 
  

	 	(3)	 Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully
and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in paragraph (1) or (2) of this Section, as the case may be. 



 

	 	(4)	 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 610. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or
Succession to Business. 
 Without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto: 

 

	 	(1)	 any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated; or




  
 49 









	 	(2)	 any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party;
or 


  

	 	(3)	 any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be
the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided 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 611. Appointment of Authenticating Agent. 

The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Authenticating Agents, which may be an Affiliate of the Company, with respect to one or more
series of Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of that or those series issued upon original issue or exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption or pursuant to Section 306.
Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and
delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication
executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. 
 Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and, except as
specified as contemplated by Section 301, shall at all times 
  

	 	(1)	 be a corporation that would be permitted by Section 310(a)(1) and (5) of the Trust Indenture Act to be
able to act as a trustee under an indenture qualified under the Trust Indenture Act; 


  

	 	(2)	 be authorized under applicable law and by its charter to act as such; and 



 

	 	(3)	 have a combined capital and surplus (computed in accordance with Section 310(a)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act)
of not less than $50,000,000. 


 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. If the Authenticating Agent has or shall acquire any conflicting interest, as defined in Section 310(b) of
the Trust Indenture Act, with respect to the Securities of any series, the Authenticating Agent shall take such action as is required pursuant to said Section 310(b). 

Without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent, 

  
 50 









	 	(1)	 any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be
consolidated; or 


  

	 	(2)	 any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall
be a party; or 


  

	 	(3)	 any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent,
shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.



 An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and the Company. The
Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time
such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company. At such time, the Trustee shall also mail
written notice of such appointment by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to all Holders of Registered Securities, if any, of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve, as their names and addresses appear in the Security
Register. 
 Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers
and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. 
 No successor Authenticating
Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section. 
 The Company agrees to pay each Authenticating Agent from
time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section. If the Trustee makes such payments, it shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments, subject to the provisions of Section 606. 

The provisions of Sections 308, 603 and 604 shall be applicable to each Authenticating Agent. 

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 or in lieu of the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication in the following form: 

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

 

							
	Dated:                     	 		 	[Name of Trustee], as Trustee
				
		 		 	By:	 	  

		 		 		 	As Authenticating Agent
				
		 		 	By:	 	  

		 		 		 	Authorized Signatory


  
 51 








 If all of the Securities of any series may not be originally issued at one time, and if the
Trustee does not have an office capable of authenticating Securities upon original issuance located in a Place of Payment where the Company wishes to have Securities of such series authenticated upon original issuance, the Trustee, if so requested
in writing (which writing need not comply with Section 102) by the Company, shall appoint in accordance with this Section an Authenticating Agent having an office in a Place of Payment designated by the Company with respect to such series of
Securities. 
 Section 612. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company. 

The Trustee is subject to Trust Indenture Act Section 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in Trust Indenture Act Section 311(b).
A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to Trust Indenture Act Section 311(a) to the extent indicated therein.

	 	(9)	 to qualify or maintain qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act; or 



 

	 	(10)	 to comply with the rules and regulations of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which any
of the Securities may be listed or traded. 


 Section 902. Supplemental Indentures With Consent of Holders.

 With the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of each series affected
by such supplemental indenture, by Act of said Holders delivered to the Company and the Trustee, the Company, when authorized by Board Resolutions, and the Trustee may enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of
adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series under this Indenture. However, no such supplemental
Indenture, without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby, shall 
  

	 	(1)	 change the Maturity of the principal of, or the Stated Maturity of, or any installment of interest on, any
Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof (including in the case of an Original Issue Discount Security the amount payable upon acceleration of the Maturity thereof) or any premium thereon or the rate of interest thereon, or change the method
of computing the amount of principal thereof on any date, or change a Place of Payment where, or the coin or currency in which, any Security or any premium thereon or the interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the
enforcement of any such payment on or after the Maturity or the Stated Maturity, as the case may be, thereof (or, in the case of redemption or a repayment, on or after the Redemption Date or the Repayment Date, as the case may be);



  

	 	(2)	 reduce the percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, the consent of whose
Holders is required for any such supplemental indenture or the consent of whose Holders is required for any waiver (of compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture or certain Defaults hereunder and their consequences) provided for in this
Indenture; 



  
 56 









	 	(3)	 modify any of the provisions of this Section, or Sections 508, 511, 512 or Section 1008, except to
increase any such percentage or to provide that certain other provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby; 



 

	 	(4)	 modify any of the provisions of this Indenture with respect to the subordination of any Security in a manner
adverse to the capital treatment of the Securities, except to clarify ambiguities or to meet regulatory requirements for the Securities to qualify as Tier 2 capital or the equivalent for bank regulatory purposes; or 



 

	 	(5)	 modify or affect in any manner adverse to the Holders of the Securities the terms and conditions of the
obligation of the Company in respect of the due and punctual payment of the principal of or premium or interest on the Securities. 



The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Persons entitled to consent to any
indenture supplemental hereto. If a record date is fixed, the Holders on such record date, or their duly designated proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such supplemental indenture, whether or not such Holders remain
Holders after such record date; provided, that unless such consent shall have become effective by virtue of the requisite percentage having been obtained prior to the date which is 90 days after such record date, any such consent previously given
shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be cancelled and of no further effect. 
 A supplemental indenture which
changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Securities, or which modifies the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series
with respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture of the Holders of Securities of any other series. 

It shall not be necessary for any Act of Holders of Securities under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental
indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof. 
 Section 903. Execution of Supplemental
Indentures. 
 As a condition to executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this
Article or the modifications thereby of the trust created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 315 of the Trust Indenture Act) shall be fully protected in relying upon, a Company Request,
accompanied by a Board Resolution, and, if and to the extent applicable, upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of Holders of Securities, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such
supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture, and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the supplemental indenture is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company. 

  
 57 








 The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture which
affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. 
 Section 904. Effect of
Supplemental Indentures. 
 Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article IX, this Indenture shall be modified in

of the Trustee and the Company, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Securities of such series. 

Section 907. Subordination Unimpaired. 

No supplemental indenture entered into under this Article IX shall modify, directly or indirectly, the provisions of Article XV or the
definition of Senior Indebtedness in Section 101 in any manner that might alter or impair the subordination of the Securities with respect to Senior Indebtedness then outstanding, unless each holder of such Senior Indebtedness has consented
thereto in writing. 
 ARTICLE X. 

COVENANTS 

Section 1001. Payment of Principal, Premium, if Any, and Interest. 

The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Holders of each series of Securities that it will duly and punctually pay the principal
of (and premium, if any), interest on or any Additional Amounts payable in respect of the Securities of that series in accordance with the terms of such series of Securities and this Indenture. Principal, premium, if any, and interest or Additional
Amounts shall be considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent, if other than the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, holds as of 12:00 noon Eastern Time on the due date money deposited by the Company in immediately available funds and
designated for and sufficient to pay all such amounts then due; provided, however, that to the extent any such funds are received by the Paying Agent from the Company after 12:00 noon Eastern Time, on such due date, such funds will be distributed to
such Persons within one Business Day of receipt thereof. 

  
 58 








 Section 1002. Maintenance of Office or Agency. 

The Company will maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of Securities an office or agency where Securities of such series may be
presented or surrendered for payment, 
  

	 	(1)	 where Securities of that series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange; and



  

	 	(2)	 where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture
may be served. 


 If the Securities of such series are listed on the Stock Exchange of the United Kingdom and the Republic
of Ireland or the Luxembourg Stock Exchange or any other stock exchange located outside the United States and such stock exchange shall so require, the Company shall maintain a Paying Agent in London, Luxembourg or any other required city located
outside the United States, as the case may be, so long as the Securities of such series are listed on such exchange. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or
agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency 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. 
 The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Securities
of one or more series may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations. However, no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain
an office or agency in each Place of Payment for Securities of any series for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office
or agency. 
 Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, the Company hereby designates as the Place of Payment for each
series the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. Pursuant to Section 301(8) of this Indenture, the Company may subsequently appoint a place or places other than the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee where such Securities may be payable.

 Section 1003. Money for Securities Payments to Be Held in Trust. 

If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect to any series of Securities, it will, on or before each due date of
the principal of (and premium, if any), or interest on, any of the Securities of that series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Person entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or 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. 

  
 59 








 Whenever the Company 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 (and premium, if any), or interest on, any Securities of that series, deposit with any Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due, such sum to
be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal, premium or interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. 

The Company will cause each Paying Agent for any series of Securities other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an
instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will: 
  

	 	(1)	 hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on Securities of
that series in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided; 



 

	 	(2)	 give the Trustee notice of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities of that series)
in the making of any payment of principal (and premium, if any) or interest on the Securities of that series; and 


  

	 	(3)	 at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay
to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent. 


 The Company may at any time, for the purpose of
obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the
Trustee upon the same terms as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such Paying Agent. 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.

 Except as otherwise provided hereby or pursuant hereto, or as may be required by applicable abandoned property law, any money deposited
with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest and Additional Amounts on any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such
principal (and premium, if any) or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust. The Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an
unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease. However,
the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in an Authorized Newspaper in each Place of Payment for such series or to be mailed to Holders of
Registered Securities for such series, or both, 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 or mailing nor shall it be later than two years
after such principal (and premium, if any) or interest has become due and payable, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company. 

  
 60 








 Section 1004. Additional Amounts. 

If any Securities of a series provide for the payment of Additional Amounts, the Company agrees to pay to the Holder of any such Security of
any such series the Additional Amounts as provided therein. Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on, or in respect of, any Security of any series or the net
proceeds received on the sale or exchange of any Security of any series, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts provided by the terms of such series established hereby or pursuant hereto to the extent
that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to such terms and express mention of the payment of Additional Amounts (if applicable) in any provisions hereof shall not be construed as excluding
Additional Amounts in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made. Except as otherwise provided herein or pursuant hereto, if the Securities of a series provide for the payment of Additional Amounts, at least 10 days prior to the
first Interest Payment Date with respect to such series of Securities (or if the Securities of that series shall not bear interest prior to Maturity, the first day on which a payment of principal and any premium is made), and at least 10 days prior
to each date of payment of principal and any premium, or interest if there has been any change with respect to the matters set forth in the below-mentioned Officer’s Certificate, the Company will furnish the Trustee and the principal Paying
Agent or Paying Agents, if other than the Trustee, an Officer’s Certificate instructing the Trustee and such Paying Agent or Paying Agents whether such payment of principal (and premium, if any) of or interest on the Securities of that series
shall be made to Holders. In connection with any Holders who are United States Aliens and who are Holders of Securities of a series without withholding for or on account of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge described in the Securities
of that series, if any such withholding shall be required, then such Officer’s Certificate shall specify by country the amount, if any, required to be withheld on such payments to such Holders of Securities. The Company agrees to pay to the
Trustee or such Paying Agent the Additional Amounts required by this Section with respect to an applicable series, if any. The Company covenants to indemnify the Trustee and any Paying Agent for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss,
liability or expense reasonably incurred without gross negligence or willful misconduct on their part arising out of or in connection with actions taken or omitted by any of them in reliance on any Officer’s Certificate furnished pursuant to
this Section. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives at the Corporate Trust Office such an Officer’s Certificate, the Trustee may assume without inquiry that no such Additional Amounts are payable. The Trustee shall not
at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder to determine whether any Additional Amounts are payable, or with respect to the nature, extent, or calculation of the amount of any Additional Amounts owed, or with respect to the method
employed in such calculation of any Additional Amounts. If the Company has paid Additional Amounts directly to the Persons entitled to it, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the particulars of such
payment. 

  
 61 








 Section 1005. Statement as to Compliance; Notice of Certain Defaults. 

 

	 	(1)	 The Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year (which on the date
hereof ends on December 31), commencing December 31, 2017, a written statement, which need not comply with Section 102, signed by the principal executive officer, the principal financial officer or the principal accounting officer of the
Company, stating that 


  

	 	(a)	 a review of the activities of the Company during such year and of performance under this Indenture has been
made under such officer’s supervision; and 


  

	 	(b)	 to such officer’s knowledge, based on such review, 



 

	 	(i)	 the Company has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Indenture throughout such year, or, if there has
been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature and status thereof; and 


  

	 	(ii)	 no event has occurred and is continuing which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, a
default or an Event of Default, or, if such an event has occurred and is continuing, specifying each such event known to such officer and the nature and status thereof. 



 

	 	(2)	 The Company will deliver to the Trustee as soon as possible, and in any event, within five days after the
occurrence thereof, written notice of any event which after notice or lapse of time or both would become an Event of Default. 



Section 1006. Payment of Taxes and Other Claims. 

The Company will pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall become delinquent, 

 

	 	(1)	 all taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed upon the Company or any Subsidiary or upon
the income, profits or property of the Company or any Subsidiary; and 


  

	 	(2)	 all lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies which, if unpaid, might by law become a lien upon the
property of the Company or any Subsidiary. However, the Company shall not be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or claim whose amount, applicability or validity is being contested in good
faith by appropriate proceedings. 



  
 62 








 Section 1007. Corporate Existence. 

Subject to Article VIII, the Company 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 and the corporate existence, rights (charter and statutory) and franchises of each Principal Subsidiary Bank; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve
any such corporate existence, right or franchise if the Company shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries considered as a whole and that the loss thereof
is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders. 
 Section 1008. Waiver of Certain Covenants. 

The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in Section 1005 and 1006 with
respect to the Securities of any series if before the time for such compliance the Holders of at least 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 Company and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in full force and effect. 

Section 1009. Calculations; Original Issue Discount. 

The Company shall file with the Trustee promptly at the end of each calendar year for which reporting on Form 1099 OID is required (i) a
written notice specifying the amount of original issue discount (including daily rates and accrual periods) accrued on Outstanding Securities as of the end of such year and (ii) such other specific information relating to such original issue
discount as may then be relevant under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time. 
 The Company shall be responsible
for making calculations called for under the Securities, including but not limited to determination of redemption price, premium, if any, and any additional amounts or other amounts payable on the Securities. The Company will make the calculations
in good faith and, absent manifest error, its calculations will be final and binding on the Holders. The Company will provide a schedule of its calculations to the Trustee when requested by the Trustee, and the Trustee is entitled to rely
conclusively on the accuracy of the Company’s calculations without independent verification. 
 ARTICLE XI. 

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES 

Section 1101. Applicability of Article. 

Redemption of Securities of any series at the option of the Company as permitted or required by the terms of such Securities shall be made in
accordance with the terms of such Securities and (except as otherwise provided herein or pursuant hereto) this Article XI. 

  
 63 








 Section 1102. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee. 

The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by Board Resolution. In case of any redemption at the election of the
Company of the Securities of any series with the same issue date, interest rate and Stated Maturity, the Company shall, at least 30 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company, deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee stating
(i) the clause of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur, (ii) the Redemption Date, (iii) the principal amount of Securities to be redeemed, (iv) the Redemption Price (or manner of calculation if not then
known), (v) such election has been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action on the part of the Company, and (vi) complies with any applicable covenants or conditions precedent set forth in this Indenture. Any redemption may be
cancelled by the Company at any time prior to notice of redemption being sent to any Holder and thereafter shall be null and void. 

Section 1103. Selection by Trustee of Securities to Be Redeemed. 

If less than all the Securities of any series with the same issue date, interest rate, Stated Maturity and other terms are to be redeemed, 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, subject to Applicable Procedures, by such
method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of the Depository and which may provide for the selection for redemption of portions of the principal amount of Registered Securities of such
series. However, no such partial redemption shall reduce the portion of the principal amount of a Registered Security of such series not redeemed to less than the minimum denomination for a Security of such series established herein pursuant hereto.

 The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company and the Security Registrar (if other than itself) in writing of the Securities selected for
redemption and, in the case of any Securities selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. 
 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 of such
Securities which has been or is to be redeemed. 
 Section 1104. Notice of Redemption. 

Notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided in Section 106, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption
Date, unless a shorter period is specified in the Securities to be redeemed, to the Holders of Securities to be redeemed. Failure to give notice by mailing or sending in the manner herein provided to the Holder of any Registered Securities
designated for redemption as a whole or in part, or any defect in the notice to any such Holder, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Securities or portion thereof. 

  
 64 








 Any notice that is mailed to the Holder of any Registered Securities or sent to a Depository
pursuant to Applicable Procedures in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not such Holder receives the notice. 

All notices of redemption shall state: 
  

	 	(1)	 the Redemption Date; 



 

	 	(2)	 the Redemption Price (or manner of calculation if not then known); 



 

	 	(3)	 the CUSIP number, if any, provided that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the
CUSIP number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Securities; 


  

	 	(4)	 if less than all Outstanding Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case
of partial redemption, the principal amount) of the particular Securities to be redeemed; 


  

	 	(5)	 in case any Registered Security is to be redeemed in part only, the notice which relates to such Security shall
state that on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Security, the Holder of such Security will receive, without charge, a new Registered Security or Registered Securities of authorized denominations for the principal amount thereof
remaining unredeemed; 


  

	 	(6)	 that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each such Security to be
redeemed only against tender of such Security and, unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest, that interest and Additional Amounts, if any, thereon shall cease to accrue on and after said date;



  

	 	(7)	 the place or places where such Securities, if any, maturing after the Redemption Date, are to be surrendered
for payment of the Redemption Price; and 


  

	 	(8)	 that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case. 



A notice of redemption given as contemplated by Section 106 need not identify particular Registered Securities to be redeemed. 

Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Company shall be given by the Company. At the Company’s written
request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at its expense; provided, however, that the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least 45 days prior to the Redemption Date (unless a shorter period
shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), an Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the notice to be given as an exhibit thereto containing the information to be stated in such notice as provided in
the preceding paragraph. 

  
 65 








 Section 1105. Deposit of Redemption Price. 

On or prior to 12:00 noon Eastern Time on any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the
Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued
interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect thereto, all the Securities or portions thereof which are to be redeemed on that date; provided, however, that to the extent any such funds are received by the Paying Agent from the Company after
12:00 noon Eastern Time, on such due date, such funds will be distributed to such Persons within one Business Day of receipt thereof. 

Section 1106. Securities Payable on Redemption Date. 

Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities 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 Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest) such Securities shall cease to bear interest, except to the extent provided below,
shall be void. Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, maturing after the Redemption Date, such Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest (or any
Additional Amounts) to the Redemption Date. However, installments of interest on Registered Securities whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor
Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the 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 premium, if any) shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed therefor in the Security. 

Section 1107. Securities Redeemed in Part. 

Any Registered Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at any office or agency of the Company maintained for that
purpose pursuant to Section 1002 (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his or her
attorney duly authorized in writing). The Company shall execute and upon receipt of a Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Registered Security or Securities of the

 ARTICLE XII. 

SINKING FUNDS 

Section 1201. Applicability of Article. 

The provisions of this Article XII shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of a series, except as otherwise
permitted or required by any form of Security of such series issued pursuant to this Indenture. 
 The minimum amount of any sinking fund
payment provided for by the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as a “mandatory sinking fund payment,” and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of Securities of such series is herein
referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment.” If provided for by the terms of Securities of any series, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 1202. Each sinking fund
payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities of any series as provided for by the terms of Securities of such series. 

Section 1202. Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments With Securities. 

The Company may, in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities of such series to be made
pursuant to the terms of such Securities as provided for by the terms of such series 
  

	 	(1)	 deliver Outstanding Securities of such series (other than any of such Securities previously called for
redemption or any of such Securities in respect of which cash shall have been released to the Company); and 


  

	 	(2)	 apply as a credit Securities of such series which have been redeemed either at the election of the Company
pursuant to the terms of such series of Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Securities, provided that such series of Securities have not been previously so credited.



 Such Securities shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the Redemption Price specified in
such Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly. If as a result of the delivery or credit of Securities of any series in lieu of cash payments pursuant to
this Section 1202, the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed in order to exhaust the aforesaid cash payment shall be less than $100,000, the Trustee need not call Securities of such series for redemption, except upon
Company Request, and such cash payment shall be held by the Trustee or a Paying Agent and applied to the next succeeding sinking fund payment. However, the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall at the request of the Company from time to time pay over
and deliver to the Company any cash payment so being held by the Trustee or such Paying Agent upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of Securities of that series purchased by the Company having an unpaid principal amount equal to the cash
payment requested to be released to the Company. 

  
 67 








 Section 1203. Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund. 

Not less than 75 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any series of Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an
Officer’s Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment for that series pursuant to the terms of that series, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion
thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting of Securities of that series pursuant to Section 1202, and the optional amount, if any, to be added in cash to the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment. The Company
will also deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so credited and not theretofore delivered. If such Officer’s Certificate shall specify an optional amount to be added in cash to the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, the Company
shall thereupon be obligated to pay the amount therein specified. Not less than 60 days before 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 Company 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 1106 and 1107. 
 ARTICLE XIII. 

REPAYMENT AT THE OPTION OF HOLDERS 

Section 1301. Applicability of Article. 

Securities of any series which are repayable at the option of the Holders thereof before their Stated Maturity shall be repaid in accordance
with the terms of the Securities of such series. The repayment of any principal amount of Securities pursuant to such option of the Holder to require repayment of Securities before their Stated Maturity, for purposes of Section 309, shall not
operate as a payment, redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and until the Company, at its option, shall deliver or surrender the same to the Trustee with a directive that such Securities be cancelled.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article XIII, in connection with any repayment of Securities, the Company may arrange for the purchase of any Securities by an agreement with one or more investment bankers or other
purchasers to purchase such Securities by paying to the Holders of such Securities on or before the close of business on the repayment date an amount not less than the repayment price payable by the Company on repayment of such Securities, and the
obligation of the Company to pay the repayment price of such Securities shall be satisfied and discharged to the extent such payment is so paid by such purchasers. 

ARTICLE XIV.

ARTICLE XV. 

SUBORDINATION 

Section 1501. Securities Subordinated to Senior Indebtedness. 

The Company covenants and agrees, and each Holder of Securities, by its acceptance thereof, whether upon original issue or upon transfer,
assignment or exchange thereof, likewise covenants and agrees, that the indebtedness evidenced by the Securities and the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on and any Additional Amounts payable in respect thereof is
hereby expressly subordinated, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, in right of payment to the prior payment in full of Senior Indebtedness. 

  
 71 








 Anything in this Indenture or in the Securities of any series to the contrary notwithstanding,
the indebtedness evidenced by the Securities shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, to all Senior Indebtedness: 

 

	 	(a)	 In the event of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings, and any receivership, liquidation, reorganization,
arrangement or other similar proceedings in connection therewith, relative to the Company or to its property, and in the event of any proceedings for voluntary liquidation, dissolution or other winding-up of
the Company, whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy, then the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled to receive payment in full of all principal, premium and interest on all Senior Indebtedness before the Holders of the
Securities are entitled to receive any payment on account of principal, premium, if any, interest or Additional Amounts upon the Securities, and to that end (but subject to the power of a court of competent jurisdiction to make other equitable
provisions reflecting the rights conferred in the Securities upon Senior Indebtedness and the Holders thereof with respect to the subordinated indebtedness represented by the Securities and the Holders hereof by a lawful plan of reorganization under
applicable bankruptcy law) the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled to receive for application in payment thereof any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash or property or securities, which may be payable or
deliverable in any such proceedings in respect of the Securities after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution in respect of such Senior Indebtedness; 



 

	 	(b)	 In the event that any Security of any series is declared or otherwise becomes due and payable before its
expressed maturity because of the occurrence of an Event of Default under clauses (5) or (6) of Section 501 hereof (under circumstances when the provisions of the foregoing clause (a) or the following clause (c) shall not be
applicable), the holders of Senior Indebtedness outstanding at the time such Security so becomes due and payable because of such occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder shall, so long as such declaration has not been rescinded and annulled
pursuant to Section 502, be entitled to receive payment in full of all principal of, and premium and interest on, all such Senior Indebtedness before the Holders of the Securities of such series are entitled to receive any payment on account of
principal of, premium, if any, or interest and Additional Amounts on the Securities of such series. However, nothing herein shall prevent the Holders of Securities from seeking any remedy allowed at law or at equity so long as any judgment or decree
obtained thereby makes provision for enforcing this clause; and 


  

	 	(c)	 In the event that any default shall occur and be continuing with respect to any Senior Indebtedness permitting
the holders of such Senior Indebtedness to accelerate the maturity thereof, if either 


  

	 	(1)	 notice of such default, in writing, shall have been given to the Company and to the Trustee, provided that
judicial proceedings shall be commenced in respect of such default within 180 days in the case of a default in 



  
 72 









	 	
payment of principal or interest and within 90 days in the case of any other default after the giving of such notice, and provided further that only one such notice shall be given pursuant to
this Section 1501(c) in any twelve months period; or 

  

	 	(2)	 judicial proceedings shall be pending in respect of such default, 



the Holders of the Securities and the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities, for their benefit shall not be entitled to receive any
payment on account of principal, premium, if any, or interest and Additional Amounts thereon (including any such payment which would cause such default) unless payment in full of all principal of, and premium and interest on, such Senior
Indebtedness shall have been made or provided for. The Trustee, promptly upon receipt of any notice received by it pursuant to this Section 1501(c), shall send a copy of such notice to each Holder of Securities at the time outstanding as the names
and addresses of such Holders appear on the Security Register. 
 In case despite the foregoing provisions, any payment or distribution
shall, in any such event, be paid or delivered to any Holder of the Securities or to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities, before all Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full, such payment or distribution shall be
held in trust for and so paid and delivered to the holders of Senior Indebtedness (or their duly authorized representatives) until all Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full. 

The Company shall give written notice to the Trustee within five days after the occurrence of any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership,
liquidation, reorganization, arrangement or similar proceeding relative to the Company within the meaning of this Section 1501. Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article XV, the Trustee, subject to
the provisions of Section 315(a) through 315(d) of the Trust Indenture Act, and the Holders of the Securities shall be entitled to rely upon a certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, assignee for the benefit of creditors or other
liquidating agent making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities, for the purpose of ascertaining the persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and
other indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article XV. 

The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a person representing himself or herself to be
a holder of Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee or agent on behalf of such holder) to establish that such notice has been given by a holder of Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee or agent on behalf of any such holder). In the event that the Trustee
determines, in good faith, that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any person as a holder of Senior Indebtedness to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Section 1501, the Trustee may request such
person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Senior Indebtedness held by such person, as to the extent to which such person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, and as to other
facts pertinent to the rights of such person under this Section 1501, and if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment to such person pending judicial determination as to the right of such person to receive such payment.


  
 73 








 For purposes of this Article, the words, “cash or property or securities” shall not be
deemed to include shares of stock or warrants to purchase shares of stock of the Company as reorganized or readjusted, or securities of the Company or any other corporation provided for by a plan of arrangement, reorganization or readjustment, the
payment of which is subordinated (at least to the extent provided in this Article with respect to the Securities) to the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness which may at the time be outstanding; provided, that (i) the Senior Indebtedness
is assumed by the new corporation, if any, resulting from any such arrangement, reorganization or readjustment, and (ii) the rights of the holders of the Senior Indebtedness are not, without the consent of such holders, altered by such
arrangement, reorganization or readjustment. The consolidation of the Company with, or the merger of the Company into, another corporation or the liquidation or dissolution of the Company following the sale, conveyance or transfer of all or
substantially all of its property and assets to another corporation upon the terms and conditions provided in Article VIII shall not be deemed a dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization for the
purposes of this Section if such other corporation shall, as a part of such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance or transfer, comply with the conditions stated in Article VIII. This Section shall be subject to the further provisions of
Section 1506. 
 Section 1502. Subrogation. 

Subject to the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness to which the indebtedness evidenced by the Securities is in the circumstances
subordinated as provided in Section 1501, the Holders of the Securities shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions of cash, property or securities of the Company applicable
to such Senior Indebtedness until all amounts owing on the Securities shall be paid in full. As between the Company, its creditors other than holders of such Senior Indebtedness, and the Holders of the Securities, no such payment or distribution
made to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness by virtue of this Article XV which otherwise would have been made to the Holders of the Securities shall be deemed to be a payment by the Company on account of such Senior Indebtedness, it being
understood that the provisions of this Article XV are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities on the one hand, and the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, on the other hand. 

Section 1503. Obligation of Company Unconditional. 

Nothing contained in this Article XV or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities, 

 

	 	(a)	 is intended to or shall impair as between its creditors other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness and the
Holders of the Securities, the obligation of the Company which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Holders of the Securities the principal of (and premium, if any), interest on, or any Additional Amounts with respect to, the Securities as
and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms; or 



  
 74 









	 	(b)	 is intended to or shall affect the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities and creditors of the
Company other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness; or 


  

	 	(c)	 prevent the Trustee or the Holder of any Security from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by
applicable law upon default under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article XV of the holders of Senior Indebtedness in respect of cash, property or securities of the Company received upon the exercise of any such remedy.



 Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article XV, the Trustee and the Holders
of the Securities shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction in which any such dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization proceeding affecting the affairs of the Company is pending or
upon a certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidating trustee or agent or other person making any payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders of the Securities, for the
purpose of ascertaining the persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness of the Company the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount paid or distributed thereon
and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article XV. 
 Section 1504. Payments on Securities Permitted. 

Nothing contained in this Article XV or elsewhere in this Indenture, or in any of the Securities, shall affect the obligation of the Company to
make, or prevent the Company from making payment of the principal of (or premium, if any), interest or any Additional Amounts on the Securities in accordance with the provisions hereof and thereof, except as otherwise provided in this Article XV.

 Section 1505. Effectuation of Subordination by Trustee. 

Each Holder of Securities, by his or her acceptance thereof, authorizes and directs the Trustee in his or her behalf to take such action as may
be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided in this Article XV and appoints the Trustee his or her attorney-in-fact for any and all such
purposes. 
 Section 1506. Knowledge of Trustee. 

The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee and to any Paying Agent of any fact known to the Company which would prohibit the
making of any payment of moneys to or by the Trustee or any Paying Agent in respect of the Securities of any series pursuant to the provisions of this Article or would end such prohibition. Regardless of anything to the contrary contained in this
Article or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any Senior Indebtedness or of any default or event of default with respect to any Senior Indebtedness or of any other facts which would
prohibit the making of any payment of moneys to or by the Trustee or which would end such prohibition, unless and until the Trustee shall have received notice in writing at its Corporate Trust Office to that effect signed by an officer of the
Company, or by a holder or agent of a holder of Senior Indebtedness or by the trustee under any indenture pursuant to which Senior Indebtedness shall be outstanding, who 

  
 75 








 
shall have been certified by the Company or otherwise established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee to be such holder or agent or trustee, and, prior to the receipt of any such
written notice, the Trustee shall, subject to Section 602, be entitled to assume that no such facts exist; provided that if on a date at least five Business Days prior to the date upon which by the terms hereof any such moneys shall become
payable for any purpose (including, without limitation, the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any), and interest on and any Additional Amounts payable in respect of any Security) the Trustee shall not have received with respect to such
moneys the notice of prohibition provided for in this Section, then, regardless of anything herein to the contrary, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such moneys and to apply the same to the purpose for which they were
received, and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary which may be received by it on or after such prior date. 
 Regardless of
anything to the contrary herein, nothing shall prevent (a) any payment by the Company or the Trustee to the Holders of Securities of amounts in connection with a redemption of Securities if (i) notice of such redemption has been given
pursuant to Article XI prior to the receipt by the Trustee of written notice of prohibition as aforesaid, and (ii) such notice of redemption is given not earlier than 60 days before the redemption date, or (b) any payment by the Trustee to
the Holders of Securities of amounts deposited with it pursuant to Sections 401 or 403. 
 The Trustee, subject to the provisions of the
Trust Indenture Act, shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a representative or a Person representing himself or herself to be a holder of Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee on behalf of such holder) to
establish that such notice has been given by a Representative or a holder of Senior Indebtedness. In the event that the Trustee determines in good faith that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Senior
Indebtedness to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article XV, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Senior Indebtedness held by such
Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article XV, and if such evidence is not furnished the Trustee may defer any
payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment. 
 Section 1507.
Trustee’s Relation to Senior Indebtedness. 
 Except as otherwise provided in the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall be entitled
to all the rights set forth in this Article XV with respect to any Senior Indebtedness at the time held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Senior Indebtedness, and nothing in this Indenture shall deprive the Trustee of any of its
rights as such holder. Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture or in the Securities of any series to the contrary, nothing in this Article XV shall apply to claims of or payment to the Trustee under or pursuant to Sections 506 and 606. 

With respect to holders of Senior Indebtedness, the Trustee undertakes to perform or to observe only such of its covenants and obligations as
are specifically set forth in this Article XV, and no implied covenants, duties, or obligations with respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. The Trustee does not owe and


  
 76 








 
shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness and the Trustee shall not be liable to any holder of Senior Indebtedness if it shall pay over or deliver to
Holders, the Company or any other Person monies or assets to which any holder of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this Article XV or otherwise. 

Section 1508. Rights of Holders of Senior Indebtedness Not Impaired. 

No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Indebtedness to enforce the subordination herein shall at any time or in any way be
prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or by any non-compliance by the Company with the terms, provisions or covenants of this Indenture, regardless of any knowledge
thereof any such holder may have or be otherwise charged with. 
 ARTICLE XVI. 

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 

Section 1601. Securities in Foreign Currencies. 

Whenever this Indenture provides for (i) any action by, or the determination of any of the rights of, Holders of Securities of any series

of any Security denominated in a currency other than United States dollars shall be treated for any such action or distribution as that amount of United States dollars that could be obtained for such amount on such reasonable basis of exchange and
as of the record date with respect to Registered Securities of such series (if any) for such action, determination of rights or distribution (or, if there shall be no applicable record date, such other date reasonably proximate to the date of such
action, determination of rights or distribution) as the Company may specify in a written notice to the Trustee or, in the absence of such written notice, as the Trustee or its agents may determine.

of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly understood and agreed that this Indenture and the obligations issued hereunder are solely corporate obligations of the
