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 Security and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount
of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory
to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit
of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Company shall fix a special record date for
the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall not be more than 15 nor less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment
and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Company shall promptly notify
the Trustee in writing of such special record date and in such notice, instruct the Trustee to send such notice to holders, in the name
and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the special record date therefor
to be sent electronically or mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each Securityholder at his or her address as it appears in the Security
Register (as hereinafter defined), 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 sent as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose
names such Securities (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered on such special record date.


 


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

Unless otherwise set forth in a Board Resolution
or one or more indentures supplemental hereto establishing the terms of any series of Securities pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof,
the term “regular record date” as used in this Section with respect to a series of Securities and any Interest Payment
Date for such series shall mean either (i) the fifteenth day of the month immediately preceding the month in which an Interest Payment
Date established for such series pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof shall occur, if such Interest Payment Date is the
first day of a month, or (ii) the first day of the month in which an Interest Payment Date established for such series pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof
shall occur, if such Interest Payment Date is the fifteenth day of a month, whether or not such date is a Business Day.


 


Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section,
each Security of a series delivered under this Indenture upon transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security of such
series shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, that were carried by such other Security.


 


Section 2.04     Execution
and Authentications.


 


The Securities shall be signed on behalf of the
Company by one of its Officers. Signatures may be in the form of a manual or facsimile signature.


 


The Company may use the facsimile signature of
any Person who shall have been an Officer, notwithstanding the fact that at the time the Securities shall be authenticated and delivered
or disposed of such Person shall have ceased to be such an officer of the Company. The Securities may contain such notations, legends
or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage. Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication by the
Trustee.


 


A Security shall not be valid until authenticated
manually by an authorized signatory of the Trustee, or by an Authenticating Agent. Such signature shall be conclusive evidence that the
Security so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the holder is entitled to the benefits of this
Indenture. 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, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery
of such Securities, signed by an Officer, and the Trustee in accordance with such Company Order 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 receive, and (subject to Section 7.01)
shall be fully protected in conclusively relying upon, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the form
and terms thereof have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture, that all conditions precedent in connection
with the issuance, authentication and delivery of such Securities have been met and that such Securities are legal, valid and binding
obligations against the Company, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions and qualifications.


 


The Trustee shall not be required to authenticate
such Securities if the issue of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities
under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner that is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.


 


Section 2.05     Registration
of Transfer and Exchange.


 


(a)     Securities of any series
may be exchanged upon presentation thereof at the office or agency of the Company designated for such purpose, for other Securities of
such series of authorized denominations, and for a like aggregate principal amount, upon payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
or other governmental charge in relation thereto, all as provided in this Section. In respect of any Securities so surrendered for exchange,
the Company shall execute, the Trustee shall authenticate and such office or agency shall deliver in exchange therefor the Security or
Securities of the same series that the Securityholder making the exchange shall be entitled to receive, bearing numbers not contemporaneously
outstanding.


 


(b)     The Company shall keep,
or cause to be kept, at its office or agency designated for such purpose a register or registers (herein referred to as the “Security
Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall register the Securities and
the transfers of Securities as in this Article provided and which at all reasonable times shall be open for inspection by the Trustee.
The registrar for the purpose of registering Securities and transfer of Securities as herein provided shall be appointed as authorized
by Board Resolution (the “Security Registrar”).


 






    8


     


    

 


Upon surrender for transfer of any Security at
the office or agency of the Company designated for such purpose, the Company shall execute, the Trustee shall authenticate and such office
or agency shall deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new Security or Securities of the same series as the Security presented
for a like aggregate principal amount.


 


All Securities presented or surrendered for exchange
or registration of transfer, as provided in this Section, shall be accompanied (if so required by the Company or the Security Registrar)
by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Company or the Security Registrar, duly executed by the
registered holder or by such holder’s duly authorized attorney in writing.


 


(c)     Except as provided
pursuant to Section 2.01 pursuant to a Board Resolution, and set forth in an Officer’s Certificate, or established
in one or more indentures supplemental to this Indenture, no service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer
of Securities, or issue of new Securities in case of partial redemption of any series, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax or other governmental charge in relation thereto, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 2.06, Section 3.03(b) and Section 9.04 not
involving any transfer.


 


(d)     The Company shall not
be required (i) to issue, exchange or register the transfer of any Securities during a period beginning at the opening of business
15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of less than all the Outstanding Securities of the same series and ending
at the close of business on the day of such mailing, nor (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Securities of any series
or portions thereof called for redemption, other than the unredeemed portion of any such Securities being redeemed in part. The provisions
of this Section 2.05 are, with respect to any Global Security, subject to Section 2.11 hereof.


 


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 depositary participants or beneficial
owners of interests in any Global Security) 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 nor any Agent shall have any
responsibility or liability for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary.


 


Section 2.06     Temporary
Securities.


 


Pending the preparation of definitive Securities
of any series, the Company may execute, and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a Company Order, authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities
(printed, lithographed or typewritten) of any authorized denomination. Such temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of
the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued, but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for
temporary Securities, all as may be determined by the Company. Every temporary Security of any series shall be executed by the Company
and be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with like effect, as the definitive
Securities of such series. Without unnecessary delay the Company will execute and will furnish definitive Securities of such series and
thereupon any or all temporary Securities of such series may be surrendered in exchange therefor (without charge to the holders), at the
office or agency of the Company designated for the purpose, and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a Company Order, authenticate and such
office or agency shall deliver in exchange for such temporary Securities an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities
of such series, unless the Company advises the Trustee to the effect that definitive Securities need not be executed and furnished until
further notice from the Company. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of such series shall be entitled to the same benefits under
this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series authenticated and delivered hereunder.


 






    9


     


    

 


Section 2.07     Mutilated,
Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Securities.


 


In case any temporary or definitive Security shall
become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company (subject to the next succeeding sentence) shall execute, and upon receipt
of a Company Order the Trustee (subject as aforesaid) shall authenticate and deliver, a new Security of the same series, bearing a number
not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated Security, or in lieu of and in substitution for the
Security so destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case the applicant for a substituted Security shall furnish to the Company and the Trustee
such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft,
the applicant shall also furnish to the Company and the Trustee evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of the
applicant’s Security and of the ownership thereof. The Trustee may authenticate any such substituted Security and deliver the same
upon receipt of a Company Order. Upon the issuance of any substituted Security, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses
of the Trustee) connected therewith.


 


In case any Security that has or is about to become
due and payable, whether upon maturity of the Securities of a series or upon declaration or otherwise shall become mutilated or be destroyed,
lost or stolen, the Company may, instead of issuing a substitute Security, pay or authorize the payment of the same (without surrender
thereof except in the case of a mutilated Security) if the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the Company and the Trustee such
security or indemnity as they may require to save them harmless, and, in case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence to the satisfaction
of the Company and the Trustee of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security and of the ownership thereof.


 


Every replacement Security issued pursuant to
the provisions of this Section shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Company whether or not the mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be found at any time, or be enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits
of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of the same series duly issued hereunder. All Securities
shall be held and owned upon the express condition that the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment
of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities, and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) any and all other rights or remedies, notwithstanding
any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment of negotiable instruments
or other securities without their surrender.


 


Section 2.08     Cancellation.


 


All Securities surrendered for the purpose of
payment, redemption, exchange or registration of transfer shall, if surrendered to the Company or any paying agent, be delivered to the
Trustee for cancellation, or, if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be cancelled by it, and no Securities shall be issued in lieu thereof
except as expressly required or permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. On written request of the Company at the time of
such surrender, the Trustee shall deliver to the Company evidence of cancellation for such canceled Securities held by the Trustee. The
Trustee shall cancel and dispose of canceled Securities in accordance with its standard procedures and deliver a certificate of disposition
to the Company. If the Company shall otherwise acquire any of the Securities, however, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption
or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.


 


Section 2.09     Benefits
of Indenture.


 


Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities,
express or implied, shall give or be construed to give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and the holders of the Securities (and,
with respect to the provisions of Article 14, the holders of any indebtedness of the Company to which the Securities
of any series are subordinated) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Indenture, or under any covenant,
condition or provision herein contained; all such covenants, conditions and provisions being for the sole benefit of the parties hereto
and of the holders of the Securities (and, with respect to the provisions of Article 14, the holders of any indebtedness
of the Company to which the Securities of any series are subordinated).


 






    10


     


    

 


Section 2.10     Authenticating
Agent.


 


So long as any of the Securities of any series
remain Outstanding there may be an Authenticating Agent for any or all such series of Securities which the Trustee shall have the right
to appoint. Said Authenticating Agent shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series issued
upon exchange, transfer or partial redemption thereof, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture
and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. All references in this Indenture to the
authentication of Securities by the Trustee shall be deemed to include authentication by an Authenticating Agent for such series. Each
Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall be a corporation that has a combined capital and surplus, as most recently
reported or determined by it, sufficient under the laws of any jurisdiction under which it is organized or in which it is doing business
to conduct a trust business, and that is otherwise authorized under such laws to conduct such business and is subject to supervision or
examination by federal or state authorities. If at any time any Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with these
provisions, it shall resign immediately.


 


Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign
by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time (and upon request by the Company
shall) terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and to the
Company. Upon resignation, termination or cessation of eligibility of any Authenticating Agent, the Trustee may appoint an eligible successor
Authenticating Agent acceptable to the Company. Any successor Authenticating Agent, upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder, shall
become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent pursuant
hereto.


 


Section 2.11     Global
Securities.


 


(a)     If the Company shall
establish pursuant to Section 2.01 that the Securities of a particular series are to be issued as a Global Security,
then the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with Section 2.04, authenticate and deliver, a Global
Security that (i) shall represent, and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of, all of the Outstanding
Securities of such series, (ii) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee, (iii) shall be delivered by
the Trustee to the Depositary or held by it, pursuant to the Depositary’s instruction and (iv) shall bear a legend substantially
to the following effect: “Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.11 of the Indenture, this Security may
be transferred, in whole but not in part, only to another nominee of the Depositary or to a successor Depositary or to a nominee of such
successor Depositary.”


 


(b)     Notwithstanding the
provisions of Section 2.05, the Global Security of a series may be transferred, in whole but not in part and in the manner
provided in Section 2.05, only to another nominee of the Depositary for such series, or to a successor Depositary for
such series selected or approved by the Company or to a nominee of such successor Depositary.


 


(c)     If at any time the
Depositary for a series of the Securities notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such series
or if at any time the Depositary for such series shall no longer be registered or in good standing under the Exchange Act, or other applicable
statute or regulation, and a successor Depositary for such series is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives
such notice or becomes aware of such condition, as the case may be, or if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Company
has received a request from the Depositary or from the Trustee, this Section 2.11 shall no longer be applicable
to the Securities of such series and the Company will execute, and subject to Section 2.04, the Trustee will authenticate
and deliver the Securities of such series in definitive registered form without coupons, in authorized denominations, and in an aggregate
principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security of such series in exchange for such Global Security. In addition,
the Company may at any time determine that the Securities of any series shall no longer be represented by a Global Security and that the
provisions of this Section 2.11 shall no longer apply to the Securities of such series. In such event the Company
will execute and, subject to Section 2.04, the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate and a Company
Order evidencing such determination by the Company, will authenticate and deliver the Securities of such series in definitive registered
form without coupons, in authorized denominations, and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security
of such series in exchange for such Global Security. Upon the exchange of the Global Security for such Securities in definitive registered
form without coupons, in authorized denominations, the Global Security shall be canceled by the Trustee. Such Securities in definitive
registered form issued in exchange for the Global Security pursuant to this Section 2.11(c) shall be registered
in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants
or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee in writing. The Trustee shall deliver such Securities to the Depositary for delivery to the Persons
in whose names such Securities are so registered.

ARTICLE 3 


REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES AND SINKING FUND PROVISIONS


 


Section 3.01     Redemption.


 


The Company may redeem the Securities of any series
issued hereunder on and after the dates and in accordance with the terms established for such series pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof.


 


Section 3.02     Notice
of Redemption.


 


(a)     In case the Company
shall desire to exercise such right to redeem all or, as the case may be, a portion of the Securities of any series in accordance with
any right the Company reserved for itself to do so pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof, the Company shall, or shall
cause the Trustee (upon 5 Business Days written notice, unless a shorter period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee) to, give notice
of such redemption to holders of the Securities of such series to be redeemed by mailing, electronically or by first class postage prepaid
mail, a notice of such redemption not less than 15 days and not more than 90 days, except that redemption notices may be sent more than
90 days prior to the redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Securities or a satisfaction and discharge,
before the date fixed for redemption of that series to such holders (with a copy to the Trustee) at their last addresses as they shall
appear upon the Security Register, unless a shorter period is specified in the Securities to be redeemed. Any notice that is mailed in
the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the registered holder receives the notice.
In any case, failure duly to give such notice to the holder of any Security of any series designated for redemption in whole or in part,
or any defect in the notice, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Securities of such series
or any other series. In the case of any redemption of Securities prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided
in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officer’s Certificate
evidencing compliance with any such restriction.


 


Each such notice of redemption shall specify the
date fixed for redemption, if applicable, any record date with respect to such redemption and the redemption price at which Securities
of that series are to be redeemed, and shall state that payment of the redemption price of such Securities to be redeemed will be made
at the office or agency of the Company, upon presentation and surrender of such Securities, that interest accrued to the date fixed for
redemption will be paid as specified in said notice, that from and after said date interest will cease to accrue and that the redemption
is from a sinking fund, if such is the case. If less than all the Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the notice to the holders
of Securities of that series to be redeemed in part shall specify the particular Securities to be so redeemed.


 


In case any Security is to be redeemed in part
only, the notice that relates to such Security shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed, and shall state
that on and after the redemption date, upon surrender of such Security, a new Security or Securities of such series in principal amount
equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued.


 


(b)     If less than all the
Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the Company shall give the Trustee at least 20 days’ notice (unless a shorter notice
shall be satisfactory to the Trustee) in advance of the date fixed for redemption as to the aggregate principal amount of Securities of
the series to be redeemed, and thereupon the Trustee shall select, by lot or in such other manner as it shall deem appropriate and fair
in its discretion (and subject to the applicable procedures of the Depositary) and that may provide for the selection of a portion or
portions (equal to one thousand U.S. dollars ($1,000) or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal amount of such Securities of
a denomination larger than $1,000, the Securities to be redeemed and shall thereafter promptly notify the Company in writing of the numbers
of the Securities to be redeemed, in whole or in part. The Company may, if and whenever it shall so elect, by delivery of instructions
signed on its behalf by an Officer, instruct the Trustee or any paying agent to call all or any part of the Securities of a particular
series for redemption and to send notice of redemption in the manner set forth in this Section, such notice to be in the name and at the
expense of the Company. In any case in which notice of redemption is to be sent by the Trustee or any such paying agent, the Company shall
deliver or cause to be delivered to, or permit to remain with, the Trustee or such paying agent, as the case may be, such Security Register,
transfer books or other records, or suitable copies or extracts therefrom, sufficient to enable the Trustee or such paying agent to give
any notice by mail that may be required under the provisions of this Section.


 






    12


     


    

 


Section 3.03     Payment
Upon Redemption.


 


(a)     If the giving of notice
of redemption shall have been completed as above provided, the Securities or portions of Securities of the series to be redeemed specified
in such notice shall become due and payable on the date and at the place stated in such notice at the applicable redemption price, together
with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption and interest on such Securities or portions of Securities shall cease to accrue
on and after the date fixed for redemption, unless the Company shall default in the payment of such redemption price and accrued interest
with respect to any such Security or portion thereof. On presentation and surrender of such Securities on or after the date fixed for
redemption at the place of payment specified in the notice, said Securities shall be paid and redeemed at the applicable redemption price
for such series, together with interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption (but if the date fixed for redemption is an interest
payment date, the interest installment payable on such date shall be payable to the registered holder at the close of business on the
applicable record date pursuant to Section 2.03).


 


(b)     Upon presentation of
any physical Security of such series that is to be redeemed in part only, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate
and the office or agency where the Security is presented shall deliver to the holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Security
of the same series of authorized denominations in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Security so presented.


 


Section 3.04     Sinking
Fund.


 


The provisions of Sections 3.04, 3.05 and 3.06 shall
be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of a series, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.01 for
Securities of such series.


 


The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment
provided for by the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as a “mandatory sinking fund payment,” and any
payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as an “optional
sinking fund payment”. If provided for by the terms of Securities of any series, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may
be subject to reduction as provided in Section 3.05. 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 3.05     Satisfaction
of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities.


 


The Company (i) may deliver Outstanding Securities
of a series and (ii) may apply as a credit Securities of a series that have been redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant
to the terms of such Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Securities,
in each case in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities of such series required to
be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities as provided for by the terms of such series, provided that such Securities
have not been previously so credited. Such Securities shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the redemption
price specified in such Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall
be reduced accordingly.


 


Section 3.06     Redemption
of Securities for Sinking Fund.


 


Not less than 45 days prior to each sinking fund
payment date for any series of Securities (unless a shorter period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), the Company will deliver to
the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for that series pursuant to
the terms of the series, the portion thereof, if any, that is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities of that series pursuant
to Section 3.05 and the basis for such credit and will, together with such Officer’s Certificate, deliver
to the Trustee any Securities to be so delivered. Not less than 30 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 3.02 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 3.02.
Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Section 3.03.

ARTICLE 4 


COVENANTS


 


Section 4.01     Payment
of Principal, Premium and Interest.


 


The Company will duly and punctually pay or cause
to be paid the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Securities of that series at the time and place and in the manner
provided herein and established with respect to such Securities. Payments of principal on the physical Securities may be made at the time
provided herein and established with respect to such Securities by U.S. dollar check drawn on and mailed to the address of the Securityholder
entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register, or U.S. dollar wire transfer to, a U.S. dollar account if such
Securityholder shall have furnished wire instructions to the Trustee no later than 15 days prior to the relevant payment date. Payments
of interest on the Securities may be made at the time provided herein and established with respect to such Securities by U.S. dollar check
mailed to the address of the Securityholder entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register, or U.S. dollar wire
transfer to an account in the United States if such Securityholder shall have furnished wire instructions in writing to the Security Registrar
and the Trustee no later than 15 days prior to the relevant payment date.


 


Section 4.02     Maintenance
of Office or Agency.


 


So long as any series of the Securities remain
Outstanding, the Company agrees to maintain an office or agency with respect to each such series and at such other location or locations
as may be designated as provided in this Section 4.02, where (i) Securities of that series may be presented for
payment, (ii) Securities of that series may be presented as herein above authorized for registration of transfer and exchange, and
(iii) notices in respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may be given or made, such designation to continue with
respect to such office or agency until the Company shall, by written notice in an Officer’s Certificate and delivered to the Trustee,
designate some other office or agency for such purposes or any of them. 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 and notices may be made at the Corporate
Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations and notices; provided,
however, the Trustee shall not be considered an agent of the Company for service of process.


 


Section 4.03     Paying
Agents.


 


(a)     If the Company shall
appoint one or more paying agents for all or any series of the Securities, other than the Trustee, the Company will cause each such paying
agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions
of this Section:


 


(1)     that it
will hold all sums held by it as such agent for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on the Securities of
that series (whether such sums have been paid to it by the Company or by any other obligor of such Securities) in trust for the benefit
of the Persons entitled thereto;


 


(2)     that it
will give the Trustee notice of any failure by the Company (or by any other obligor of such Securities) to make any payment of the principal
of (and premium, if any) or interest on the Securities of that series when the same shall be due and payable;


 


(3)     that it
will, at any time during the continuance of any failure referred to in the preceding paragraph (a)(2) above, upon the written request
of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such paying agent;


 






    14


     


    

 


(4)     that upon
any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, readjustment, arrangement, composition or judicial proceedings
affecting the Company, the Trustee will automatically be the Paying Agent; and


 


(5)     that it
will perform all other duties of paying agent as set forth in this Indenture.


 


(b)     If the Company shall
act as its own paying agent with respect to any series of the Securities, it will on or before each due date of the principal of (and
premium, if any) or interest on Securities of that series, set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled
thereto a sum sufficient to pay such principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due on Securities of that series until such
sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and will promptly notify the Trustee of such action, or
any failure (by it or any other obligor on such Securities) to take such action. Whenever the Company shall have one or more paying agents
for any series of Securities, it will, prior to each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any Securities
of that series, deposit with the 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 this action or failure so to act.


 


(c)     Notwithstanding anything
in this Section to the contrary, (i) the agreement to hold sums in trust as provided in this Section is subject to the
provisions of Section 11.05, and (ii) 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 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 and conditions as those upon which such sums
were held by the Company or such paying agent; and, upon such payment by the Company or any paying agent to the Trustee, the Company or
such paying agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.


 


(d)     The Company initially
appoints the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office as its paying agent with respect to the Securities.


 


Section 4.04      Appointment
to Fill Vacancy in Office of Trustee.


 


The Company, whenever necessary to avoid or fill
a vacancy in the office of Trustee, will appoint, in the manner provided in Section 7.10, a Trustee, so that there shall
at all times be a Trustee hereunder.


 


Section 4.05     Compliance
with Consolidation Provisions.


 


The Company will not, while any of the Securities
remain Outstanding, consolidate with or merge into any other Person, in either case where the Company is not the survivor of such transaction,
or sell or convey all or substantially all of its property to any other Person unless the provisions of Article 10 hereof
are complied with.

Section 5.02     Preservation
Of Information; Communications With Securityholders.


 


(a)     The Trustee shall preserve,
in as current a form as is reasonably practicable, all information as to the names and addresses of the holders of Securities contained
in the most recent list furnished to it as provided in Section 5.01 and as to the names and addresses of holders
of Securities received by the Trustee in its capacity as Security Registrar (if acting in such capacity).

(a)     The Company covenants
and agrees to provide (which delivery may be via electronic mail) to the Trustee within 30 days, after the Company files the same with
the Commission, copies of the annual reports and of the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of
the foregoing as the Commission may from time to time by rules and regulations prescribe) that the Company is required to file with
the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act; provided, however,
the Company shall not be required to deliver to the Trustee any materials for which the Company has sought and received confidential treatment
by the Commission; and provided further, that so long as such filings by the Company are available on the Commission’s
Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System (EDGAR), or Interactive Data Electronic Applications (IDEA), or any successor
system, such filings shall be deemed to have been filed with the Trustee for purposes hereof without any further action required by the
Company; provided that an electronic link to such filing, together with an electronic notice of such filing have been
sent to the Trustee it being understood that the Trustee shall have no responsibility to determine whether such filings have been made.
For the avoidance of doubt, a failure by the Company to file annual reports, information and other reports with the Commission within
the time period prescribed thereof by the Commission shall not be deemed a breach of this Section 5.03.


 


(b)     Delivery of reports,
information and documents to the Trustee under Section 5.03 is for informational purposes only and the information
and the Trustee’s receipt of the foregoing shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein, or determinable
from information contained therein including the Company’s compliance with any of their covenants thereunder (as to which the Trustee
is entitled to rely exclusively on an Officer’s Certificate).


 


Section 5.04     Reports

(a)     If required by Section 313(a) of
the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee, within sixty (60) days after each May 15, commencing the calendar year after the year

when any Securities become listed on any securities exchange or of any delisting thereof.

ARTICLE 6 


REMEDIES OF THE TRUSTEE AND SECURITYHOLDERS
ON 


EVENT OF DEFAULT


 


Section 6.01     Events
of Default.


 


(a)     Whenever used herein
with respect to Securities of a particular series, “Event of Default” means any one or more of the following events that has
occurred and is continuing:


 


(1)     the Company
defaults in the payment of any installment of interest upon any of the Securities of that series, as and when the same shall become due
and payable, and such default continues for a period of 90 days; provided, however, that a valid extension of an interest payment period
by the Company in accordance with the terms of any indenture supplemental hereto shall not constitute a default in the payment of interest
for this purpose;


 


(2)     the Company
defaults in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any of the Securities of that series as and when the same shall become
due and payable whether at maturity, upon redemption, by declaration or otherwise, or in any payment required by any sinking or analogous
fund established with respect to that series; provided, however, that a valid extension of the maturity of such Securities in accordance
with the terms of any indenture supplemental hereto shall not constitute a default in the payment of principal or premium, if any;


 


(3)     the Company
fails to observe or perform any other of its covenants or agreements with respect to that series contained in this Indenture or otherwise
established with respect to that series of Securities pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof (other than a covenant or
agreement that has been expressly included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of one or more series of Securities other than such
series) for a period of 90 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied and stating
that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder, shall have been given to the Company by the Trustee or to the
Company and the Trustee by the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Securities of that series at the time Outstanding;


 


(4)     the Company
pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law (i) commences a voluntary case, (ii) consents to the entry of an order
for relief against it in an involuntary case, (iii) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all or substantially
all of its property or (iv) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or


 


(5)     a court
of competent jurisdiction enters an order under any Bankruptcy Law that (i) is for relief against the Company in an involuntary case,
(ii) appoints a Custodian of the Company for all or substantially all of its property or (iii) orders the liquidation of the
Company, and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 90 days.


 


(b)     In each and every such
case (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (4) or clause (5) above), unless the principal of all the Securities
of that series shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal
amount of the Securities of that series then Outstanding hereunder, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by
such Securityholders), may declare the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Securities of
that series to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable.
If an Event of Default specified in clause (4) or clause (5) above occurs, the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest
on all the Securities of that series shall automatically be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part
of the Trustee or the holders of the Securities.


 


(c)     At any time after the
principal of (and premium, if any, on) and accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities of that series shall have been so declared due
and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the moneys due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided,
the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of that series then Outstanding hereunder, by written notice
to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if: (i) the Company has paid or deposited
with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest upon all the Securities of that series and the principal
of (and premium, if any, on) any and all Securities of that series that shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest
upon such principal and premium, if any, and, to the extent that such payment is enforceable under applicable law, upon overdue installments
of interest, at the rate per annum expressed in the Securities of that series to the date of such payment or deposit) and the amount payable
to the Trustee under Section 7.06, and (ii) any and all Events of Default under the Indenture with respect to such
series, other than the nonpayment of principal on (and premium, if any, on) and accrued and unpaid interest on Securities of that series
that shall not have become due by their terms, shall have been remedied or waived as provided in Section 6.06.


 






    17


     


    

 


No such rescission and annulment shall extend
to or shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.


 


(d)     In case the Trustee
shall have proceeded to enforce any right with respect to Securities of that series under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have
been discontinued or abandoned because of such rescission or annulment or for any other reason or shall have been determined adversely
to the Trustee, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceedings, the Company and the Trustee shall be restored
respectively to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Company and the Trustee shall
continue as though no such proceedings had been taken.


 


Section 6.02     Collection
of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.


 


(a)     The Company covenants
that if an Event of Default described in Section 6.01(a) or 6.01(b) shall have occurred with respect to the Securities
of any series, the Company will pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the holders of the Securities of that series, the whole amount
that then shall have been become due and payable on all such Securities for principal (and premium, if any) or interest, or both, as the
case may be, with interest upon the overdue principal (and premium, if any) and (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable
under applicable law) upon overdue installments of interest at the rate per annum expressed in the Securities of that series; and, in
addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, and the amount payable to
the Trustee under Section 7.06.


 


(b)     If the Company shall
fail to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, shall be entitled
and empowered to institute any action or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute
any such action or proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against the Company or other
obligor upon the Securities of that series and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law or equity
out of the property of the Company or other obligor upon the Securities of that series, wherever situated.


 


(c)     In case of any receivership,
insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, readjustment, arrangement, composition or judicial proceedings affecting the Company,
or its creditors or property, irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to this Section 6.02, the Trustee
shall have power to intervene in such proceedings and take any action therein that may be permitted by the court and shall (except as
may be otherwise provided by law) be entitled to file such proofs of claim and other papers and documents as may be necessary or advisable
in order to have the claims of the Trustee and of the holders of Securities of such series allowed for the entire amount due and payable
by the Company under the Indenture at the date of institution of such proceedings and for any additional amount that may become due and
payable by the Company after such date, and to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claim,
and to distribute the same after the deduction of the amount payable to the Trustee under Section 7.06; and any receiver,
assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization is hereby authorized by each of the holders of Securities of such series to make such
payments to the Trustee, and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to such Securityholders,
to pay to the Trustee any amount due it under Section 7.06.


 


(d)     All rights of action
and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the terms established with respect to Securities of that series, may be
enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of such Securities, or the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative
thereto, and any such suit or proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and
any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for payment to the Trustee of any amounts due under Section 7.06, be
for the ratable benefit of the holders of the Securities of such series.


 






    18


     


    

 


In case of an Event of Default hereunder, the
Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings
as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of such rights, either at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise,
whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in the Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted
in this Indenture, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law.


 


Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize
the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Securityholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment
or composition affecting the Securities of that series or the rights of any holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect
of the claim of any Securityholder in any such proceeding.


 


Section 6.03     Application
of Moneys Collected.


 


Any moneys or properties collected by the Trustee
pursuant to this Article with respect to a particular series of Securities shall be applied in the following order, at the date or
dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such moneys on account of principal (or premium, if any) or interest, upon
presentation of the Securities of that series, and notation thereon of the payment, if only partially paid, and upon surrender thereof
if fully paid:


 


FIRST: To the payment of all indebtedness
of the Company to which such series of Securities is subordinated to the extent required by Section 7.06 and any
subordination terms of the series specified as contemplated by Article 14;


 


SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then
due and unpaid upon Securities of such series for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, 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 amounts due and payable
on such Securities for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, respectively; and


 


THIRD: To the payment of the remainder,
if any, to the Company or any other Person lawfully entitled thereto.


 


Section 6.04     Limitation
on Suits.


 


No holder of any Security of any series shall
have any right by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at
law upon or under or with respect to this Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder,
unless (i) such holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of an Event of Default and of the continuance thereof
with respect to the Securities of such series specifying such Event of Default, as hereinbefore provided; (ii) the holders of not
less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series then Outstanding shall have made written request upon the
Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder; (iii) such holder or holders shall have
offered to the Trustee such indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it as it may require against the costs, expenses, claims and liabilities
to be incurred therein or thereby; (iv) the Trustee for 90 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity,
shall have failed to institute any such action, suit or proceeding and (v) during such 90 day period, the holders of a majority in
principal amount of the Securities of that series do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request.


 


Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary or any other provisions of this Indenture, the right of any holder of any Security to receive payment of the principal of (and
premium, if any) and interest on such Security, as therein provided, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Security (or
in the case of redemption, on the redemption date), or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective
dates or redemption date, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such holder and by accepting a Security hereunder it
is expressly understood, intended and covenanted by the taker and holder of every Security of such series with every other such taker
and holder and the Trustee, that no one or more holders of Securities of such series shall have any right in any manner whatsoever by
virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the holders of any other of
such Securities, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such holder, or to enforce any right under this
Indenture (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances
are unduly prejudicial to such holders), except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all holders
of Securities of such series. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section, each and every Securityholder and
the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.


 






    19


     


    

 


Section 6.05     Rights
and Remedies Cumulative; Delay or Omission Not Waiver.


 


(a)     Except as otherwise
provided in Section 2.07, all powers and remedies given by this Article to the Trustee or to the Securityholders
shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any other powers and remedies available to the Trustee
or the holders of the Securities, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the covenants and
agreements contained in this Indenture or otherwise established with respect to such Securities.


 


(b)     No delay or omission
of the Trustee or of any holder of any of the Securities to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event of Default occurring and
continuing as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or an acquiescence
therein; and, subject to the provisions of Section 6.04, every power and remedy given by this Article or by law
to the Trustee or the Securityholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or
by the Securityholders.


 


Section 6.06     Control
by Securityholders.


 


The holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Securities of any series at the time Outstanding, determined in accordance with Section 8.04, 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 such series; provided, however, that such direction shall
not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture or subject the Trustee in its sole discretion to personal liability.
The Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee in good faith shall determine that the proceeding
so directed, subject to the Trustee’s duties under the Trust Indenture Act, would involve the Trustee in personal liability or might
be unduly prejudicial to the Securityholders not involved in the proceeding. Prior to taking any action under this Indenture, the Trustee
shall be entitled to indemnity or security satisfactory to it against loss, liability or expense that may be caused by taking such action.
The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any series at the time Outstanding affected thereby, determined
in accordance with Section 8.04, may on behalf of the holders of all of the Securities of such series waive any past
default in the performance of any of the covenants contained herein or established pursuant to Section 2.01 with
respect to such series and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on,
any of the Securities of that series as and when the same shall become due by the terms of such Securities otherwise than by acceleration
(unless such default has been cured and a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest and principal and any premium has
been deposited with the Trustee (in accordance with Section 6.01(c)). Upon any such waiver, the default covered thereby
shall be deemed to be cured for all purposes of this Indenture and the Company, the Trustee and the holders of the Securities of such
series shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent
or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.


 


Section 6.07     Undertaking
to Pay Costs.


 


All parties to this Indenture agree, and each
holder of any Securities by such holder’s acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion
require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action
taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and
that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant
in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions
of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Securityholder, or group of
Securityholders, holding more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, or to any suit instituted
by any Securityholder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Security of such
series, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Security or established pursuant to this Indenture.

ARTICLE 7 


CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE


 


Section 7.01     Certain
Duties and Responsibilities of Trustee.


 


(a)     The Trustee, prior
to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of a series and after the curing of all Events of Default with
respect to the Securities of that series that may have occurred, shall undertake to perform with respect to the Securities of such series
such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants shall be read into this Indenture
against the Trustee. In case an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of a series has occurred (that has not been cured or waived),
the Trustee shall exercise with respect to Securities of that series such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and
use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct
of such person’s own affairs.


 


(b)     No provision of this
Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or
its own willful misconduct, except that:


 


(1)     prior to
the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of a series and after the curing or waiving of all such Events of
Default with respect to that series that may have occurred:


 


(A)     the duties
and obligations of the Trustee shall with respect to the Securities of such series be determined solely by the express provisions of this
Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to the Securities of such series except for the performance of such duties
and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture
against the Trustee; and


 


(B)     in the absence
of willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may with respect to the Securities of such series conclusively rely, as
to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the
Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions that by any provision
hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether
or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations
or other facts stated therein);


 


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


 


(3)     the Trustee
shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the
holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities of any series at the time Outstanding relating to the time,
method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon
the Trustee under this Indenture with respect to the Securities of that series; and


 


(4)     none of
the provisions contained in this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal or financial
liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if there is reasonable ground for
believing that the repayment of such funds or liability is not reasonably assured to it under the terms of this Indenture or adequate
indemnity against such risk is not reasonably assured to it.


 


Section 7.02     Certain
Rights of Trustee.


 


Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.01:


 


(a)     The Trustee may rely
and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
request, consent, order, approval, bond, security or other paper or document or other evidence of indebtedness believed by it to be genuine
and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the
document. The Trustee shall receive and retain financial reports and statements of the Company to the extent provided herein, but shall
have no duty to review or analyze such reports or statements to determine compliance with covenants or other obligations of the Company;


 






    21


     


    

 



 


(b)    Any request, direction,
order or demand of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution or an instrument signed in the name
of the Company by any authorized Officer of the Company (unless other evidence in respect thereof is specifically prescribed herein);


 


(c)    The Trustee may consult
with counsel of its selection and the advice of such counsel or, if requested, any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization
and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon;


 


(d)    The Trustee shall be
under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of
the Securityholders pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Securityholders shall have offered (and if requested, provided)
to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses, claims and liabilities that may be incurred therein
or thereby;


 


(e)    The Trustee shall not
be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion
or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture;


 


(f)     The Trustee shall not
be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report,
notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond, security, or other papers or documents or other evidence of indebtedness, unless requested
in writing so to do by the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of the particular series
affected thereby (determined as provided in Section 8.04); provided, however, that if the payment
within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses, claims or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such
investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of
this Indenture, the Trustee may require indemnity or security satisfactory to it against such costs, expenses, claims or liabilities as
a condition to so proceeding. The reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by the Company or, if paid by the Trustee,
shall be repaid by the Company upon demand;


 


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


 


(h)    In no event shall the
Trustee be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by,
directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism,
civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities,

(i)     In no event shall the

not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless
of the form of action;


 


(j)     The permissive rights
of the Trustee enumerated herein shall not be construed as duties;


 


(k)    The Trustee may request
that the Company deliver a certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take
specified actions pursuant to this Indenture; and


 






    22


     


    

 


(l)     The Trustee shall not
be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the performance of its powers and duties hereunder.


 


In addition, the Trustee shall not be deemed to
have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received written notification
in the manner set forth in this Indenture, and such notice references the Securities and this Indenture or a Responsible Officer
of the Trustee shall have obtained actual knowledge.


 


Section 7.03    Trustee
Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance or Securities.


 


(a)    The recitals contained
herein and in the Securities shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness
of the same.


 


(b)    The Trustee makes no
representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities.


 


(c)    The Trustee shall not
be accountable for the use or application by the Company of any of the Securities or of the proceeds of such Securities, or for the use
or application of any moneys paid over by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture or established pursuant to Section 2.01,
or for the use or application of any moneys received by any paying agent other than the Trustee.


 


Section 7.04    May Hold
Securities.


 


The Trustee or any paying agent or Security Registrar,
in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities with the same rights it would have if it were not
Trustee, paying agent or Security Registrar.


 


Section 7.05    Moneys
Held in Trust.


 


Subject to the provisions of Section 11.05,
all moneys received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were
received, but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for
interest on any moneys received by it hereunder except such as it may agree in writing with the Company to pay thereon.


 


Section 7.06    Compensation
and Reimbursement.


 


(a)    The Company covenants
and agrees to pay to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, such compensation (which shall not be limited by any provision
of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) as the Company and the Trustee may from time to time agree in writing,
for all services rendered by it in the execution of the trusts hereby created and in the exercise and performance of any of the powers
and duties hereunder of the Trustee, and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Company will pay or reimburse the Trustee
upon its request for all reasonable and documented expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance
with any of the provisions of this Indenture (including the reasonable and documented fees and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel
and of all Persons not regularly in its employ), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or
willful misconduct. The Company also covenants to indemnify the Trustee (and its officers, agents, directors and employees) for, and to
hold it harmless against, any documented loss, liability or expense, including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees, incurred
without negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration
of this trust, including the reasonable and documented costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim of liability in the premises
(whether asserted by the Company, or any holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any
of its powers or duties hereunder, or in connection with enforcing the provisions of this Section.


 






    23


     


    

 


(b)    The obligations of
the Company under this Section to compensate and indemnify the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for reasonable expenses,
disbursements and advances shall constitute indebtedness of the Company to which the Securities are subordinated. Such additional indebtedness
shall be secured by a lien prior to that of the Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except
funds held in trust for the benefit of the holders of particular Securities.


 


(c)    To ensure the Company’s
payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities on all funds or property held or collected
by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal of, premium, if any, or interest on particular Securities. When the Trustee
incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(4) or (5),
the expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for services in connection therewith are
to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. The provisions of this Section 7.06 shall survive
the termination of this Indenture and the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee.


 


Section 7.07    Reliance
on Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.


 


Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.01,
whenever in the administration of the provisions of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it reasonably necessary or desirable that a
matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering or omitting to take any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence
in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee,
be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Trustee
and such certificate and opinion, in the absence of negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant
to the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof.


 


Section 7.08    Disqualification;
Conflicting Interests.


 


If the Trustee has or shall acquire any “conflicting
interest” within the meaning of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee and the Company shall in all respects
comply with the provisions of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act.


 


Section 7.09    Corporate
Trustee Required; Eligibility.


 


There shall at all times be a Trustee with respect
to the Securities issued hereunder which shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United
States of America or any state or territory thereof or of the District of Columbia, or a corporation or other Person permitted to act
as trustee by the Commission, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of
at least fifty million U.S. dollars ($50,000,000), and subject to supervision or examination by federal, state, territorial, or District
of Columbia authority.


 


If such corporation or other Person publishes
reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then
for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation or other Person shall be deemed to be its combined
capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. The Company may not, nor may any Person directly
or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Company, serve as Trustee. In case at any time the Trustee
shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with
the effect specified in Section 7.10.


 


Section 7.10    Resignation
and Removal; Appointment of Successor.


 


(a)    The Trustee or any
successor hereafter appointed may at any time resign with respect to the Securities of one or more series by giving written notice thereof
to the Company and by transmitting notice of resignation by electronic mail, or by first class postage prepaid mail, to the Securityholders
of such series, as their names and addresses appear upon the Security Register. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Company
shall promptly appoint a successor trustee with respect to Securities of such series by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by
order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor
trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the mailing 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 Securities of such series, or any Securityholder of that series who has been a bona fide holder of a Security or Securities
for at least six months may on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor
trustee. Such court may thereupon after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee.


 






    24


     


    

 


(b)    In case at any time
any one of the following shall occur:


 


(i)    the Trustee
shall fail to comply with the provisions of Section 7.08 after written request therefor by the Company or by any
Securityholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Security or Securities for at least six months; or


 


(ii)   the Trustee
shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.09 and shall fail to resign after written
request therefor by the Company or by any such Securityholder; or


 


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


 


then, in any such case, the Company may remove the Trustee with respect
to all Securities and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one
copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee, or any Securityholder who
has been a bona fide holder of a Security or Securities for at least six months may, on behalf of that holder and all others similarly
situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee. Such
court may thereupon after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee.


 


(c)    The holders of a majority
in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any series at the time Outstanding may at any time remove the Trustee with respect
to such series by so notifying the Trustee and the Company and may appoint a successor Trustee for such series with the consent of the
Company.


 


(d)    Any resignation or
removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee with respect to the Securities of a series pursuant to any of the provisions
of this Section shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 7.11.


 


(e)    Any successor trustee
appointed pursuant to this Section may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more series or all of such series, and
at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any particular series.


 


Section 7.11    Acceptance
of Appointment By Successor.


 


(a)    In case of the appointment
hereunder of a successor trustee with respect to all Securities, every such successor trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge
and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal
of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested
with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company or the successor trustee, such
retiring Trustee shall, upon full payment of any amount then due it pursuant to Section 7.06, 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.


 






    25


     


    

 


(b)    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 (i) 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, (ii) 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 (iii) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide
for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such
supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust, 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 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, and each such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights,
powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such
successor trustee relates; but, on request of the Company or any successor trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer
and deliver to such successor trustee, 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.


 


(c)    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 (a) or (b) of this Section, as the case may be.


 


(d)    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.


 


(e)    Upon acceptance of
appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section, the Company shall transmit notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder
by mail, first class postage prepaid, to the Securityholders, as their names and addresses appear upon the Security Register. If the Company
fails to transmit such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause
such notice to be transmitted at the expense of the Company.


 


Section 7.12    Merger,
Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.


 


Any corporation into which the Trustee may be
merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to
which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of the Trustee, including the administration
of the trust created by this Indenture, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided that such corporation
shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 7.08 and eligible under the provisions of Section 7.09,
without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding. 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 7.13    Preferential
Collection of Claims Against the Company.


 


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


 






    26


     


    

 


Section 7.14    Notice
of Default.


 


If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing
and if such Event of Default is actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall send to each Securityholder
in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 313(c) of the Trust Indenture Act notice of the Event of Default within
the later of 90 days after it occurs and 30 days after it is actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or written notice
of it is received by the Trustee, unless such Event of Default has been cured; provided, however, that, except
in the case of a default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Security, the Trustee shall be protected
in withholding such notice if and so long as it in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the
Securityholders.


 


ARTICLE 8


CONCERNING THE SECURITYHOLDERS


 


Section 8.01    Evidence
of Action by Securityholders.


 


Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that
the holders of a majority or specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of a particular series may take any
action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action),
the fact that at the time of taking any such action the holders of such majority or specified percentage of that series have joined therein
may be evidenced by any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by such holders of Securities of that series
in person or by agent or proxy appointed in writing.


 


If the Company shall solicit from the Securityholders
of any series any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, the Company may, at its option,
as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate, fix in advance a record date for such series for the determination of Securityholders
entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, 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
action may be given before or after the record date, but only the Securityholders of record at the close of business on the record date
shall be deemed to be Securityholders for the purposes of determining whether Securityholders of the requisite proportion of Outstanding
Securities of that series have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or other action, and for that purpose the Outstanding Securities of that series shall be computed as of the record date; provided, however,
that no such authorization, agreement or consent by such Securityholders on the record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall
become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than six months after the record date.


 


Section 8.02    Proof
of Execution by Securityholders.


 


Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01,
proof of the execution of any instrument by a Securityholder (such proof will not require notarization) or his agent or proxy and proof
of the holding by any Person of any of the Securities shall be sufficient if made in the following manner:


 


(a)    The fact and date of
the execution by any such Person of any instrument may be proved in any reasonable manner acceptable to the Trustee.


 


(b)    The ownership of Securities
shall be proved by the Security Register of such Securities or by a certificate of the Security Registrar thereof. The Trustee may require
such additional proof of any matter referred to in this Section as it shall deem necessary.


 


Section 8.03    Who
May be Deemed Owners.


 


Prior to the due presentment for registration
of transfer of any Security, the Company, the Trustee, any paying agent and any Security Registrar may deem and treat the Person in whose
name such Security shall be registered upon the books of the Security Registrar as the absolute owner of such Security (whether or not
such Security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notice of ownership or writing thereon made by anyone other than the Security Registrar)
for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of, premium, if any, and (subject to Section 2.03)
interest on such Security and for all other purposes; and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any paying agent nor any Security Registrar
shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.


 






    27


     


    

 


Section 8.04    Certain
Securities Owned by Company Disregarded.


 


In determining whether the holders of the requisite
aggregate principal amount of Securities of a particular series have concurred in any direction, consent, demand, authorization, notice
or waiver under this Indenture, the Securities of that series that are owned by the Company or any other obligor on the Securities of
that series or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under common control with the Company or any other
obligor on the Securities of that series shall be disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding for the purpose of any such determination,
except that for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, consent or waiver,
only Securities of such series that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. The Securities
so owned that have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as Outstanding for the purposes of this Section, if the pledgee shall establish
to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to such Securities and that the pledgee is not a Person
directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any such other obligor.
In case of a dispute as to such right, any decision by the Trustee taken upon the advice of counsel shall be full protection to the Trustee.


 


Section 8.05    Actions
Binding on Future Securityholders.


 


At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing
to the Trustee, as provided in Section 8.01, of the taking of any action by the holders of the majority or percentage
in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of a particular series specified in this Indenture in connection with such action, any
holder of a Security of that series that is shown by the evidence to be included in the Securities the holders of which have consented
to such action may, by filing written notice with the Trustee, and upon proof of holding as provided in Section 8.02,
revoke such action so far as concerns such Security. Except as aforesaid any such action taken by the holder of any Security shall be
conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future holders and owners of such Security, and of any Security issued in exchange
therefor, on registration of transfer thereof or in place thereof, irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard thereto is made
upon such Security. Any action taken by the holders of the majority or percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of a
particular series specified in this Indenture in connection with such action shall be conclusively binding upon the Company, the Trustee
and the holders of all the Securities of that series.


 


ARTICLE 9

Section 9.01    Supplemental
Indentures Without the Consent of Securityholders.


 


In addition to any supplemental indenture otherwise
authorized by this Indenture, the Company and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter into an indenture or indentures
supplemental hereto (which shall conform to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect), without the consent of the Securityholders

such covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions are expressly being included solely for the benefit of such series), to make the
occurrence, or the occurrence and the continuance, of a default in any such additional covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions
an Event of Default, or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Company;


 






    28


     


    

 


(e)     to add to, delete from,
or revise the conditions, limitations, and restrictions on the authorized amount, terms, or purposes of issue, authentication, and delivery
of Securities, as herein set forth;


 


(f)      to make any change
that does not adversely affect the rights of any Securityholder in any material respect;


 


(g)     to provide for the
issuance of and establish the form and terms and conditions of the Securities of any series as provided in Section 2.01,
to establish the form of any certifications required to be furnished pursuant to the terms of this Indenture or any series of Securities,
or to add to the rights of the holders of any series of Securities;

requirements of the Commission or any successor in connection with the qualification of this Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act.


 


The Trustee is hereby authorized to join with
the Company in the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that
may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any such supplemental indenture that affects the Trustee’s
own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.


 


Any supplemental indenture authorized by the provisions
of this Section may be executed by the Company and the Trustee without the consent of the holders of any of the Securities at the
time Outstanding, notwithstanding any of the provisions of Section 9.02.


 


Section 9.02    Supplemental
Indentures With Consent of Securityholders.


 


With the consent (evidenced as provided in Section 8.01)
of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each series affected by such supplemental
indenture or indentures at the time Outstanding, the Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may from time to
time and at any time enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto (which shall conform to the provisions of the Trust Indenture
Act as then in effect) for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this
Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner not covered by Section 9.01 the rights
of the holders of the Securities of such series under this Indenture; provided, however, that no such supplemental
indenture shall, without the consent of the holders of each Security then Outstanding and affected thereby, (a) extend the fixed
maturity of any Securities of any series, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of
interest thereon, or reduce any premium payable upon the redemption thereof or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Securities,
the holders of which are required to consent to any such supplemental indenture.


 


It shall not be necessary for the consent of the
Securityholders of any series affected thereby under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture,
but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any such
supplemental indenture that affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.


 


Section 9.03    Effect
of Supplemental Indentures.


 


Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture
pursuant to the provisions of this Article or of Section 10.01, this Indenture shall, with respect to such series
only, be and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith and the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations,
duties and immunities under this Indenture of the Trustee, the Company and the holders of Securities of the series affected thereby shall
thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments, and all the terms
and conditions of any such supplemental indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture for
any and all purposes with respect to such series.


 






    29


     


    

 


Section 9.04    Securities
Affected by Supplemental Indentures.


 


Securities of any series affected by a supplemental
indenture, authenticated and delivered after the execution of such supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article or
of Section 10.01, may bear a notation in form approved by the Company, provided such form meets the requirements of any
securities exchange upon which such series may be listed, as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Company
shall so determine, new Securities of that series so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, to any modification
of this Indenture contained in any such supplemental indenture may be prepared by the Company, authenticated by the Trustee and delivered
in exchange for the Securities of that series then Outstanding.


 


Section 9.05    Execution
of Supplemental Indentures.


 


Upon the request of the Company, accompanied by
its Board Resolutions authorizing the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence of
the consent of Securityholders required to consent thereto as aforesaid, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of such
supplemental indenture unless such supplemental indenture affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture
or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion but shall not be obligated to enter into such supplemental indenture. The
Trustee shall receive an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any supplemental indenture
executed pursuant to this Article is authorized or permitted by the terms of this Article and that all conditions precedent
to the execution of the supplemental indenture have been complied with and with respect to such Opinion of Counsel, that such supplemental
indenture is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against each of them in accordance with its terms, subject
to customary exceptions and qualifications.


 


Promptly after the execution by the Company and
the Trustee of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article, the Company shall transmit by electronic mail, or
by first class mail, postage prepaid, a notice, setting forth in general terms the substance of such supplemental indenture, to the Securityholders

SUCCESSOR ENTITY


 


Section 10.01  Company
May Consolidate, Etc.


 


Nothing contained in this Indenture shall prevent
any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other Person (whether or not affiliated with the Company) or successive consolidations
or mergers in which the Company or its successor or successors shall be a party or parties, or shall prevent any sale, conveyance, transfer
or other disposition of the property of the Company or its successor or successors as an entirety, or substantially as an entirety, to
any other corporation (whether or not affiliated with the Company or its successor or successors) authorized to acquire and operate the
same; provided, however, (a) the Company hereby covenants and agrees that, upon any such consolidation or
merger (in each case, if the Company is not the survivor of such transaction), sale, conveyance, transfer or other disposition, the due
and punctual payment of the principal of (premium, if any) and interest on all of the Securities of all series in accordance with the
terms of each series, according to their tenor, and the due and punctual performance and observance of all the covenants and conditions
of this Indenture with respect to each series or established with respect to such series pursuant to Section 2.01 to
be kept or performed by the Company shall be expressly assumed, by supplemental indenture (which shall conform to the provisions of the
Trust Indenture Act, as then in effect) executed and delivered to the Trustee by the entity formed by such consolidation, or into which
the Company shall have been merged, or by the entity which shall have acquired such property and (b) in the event that the Securities
of any series then Outstanding are convertible into or exchangeable for shares of common stock or other securities of the Company, such
entity shall, by such supplemental indenture, make provision so that the Securityholders of Securities of that series shall thereafter
be entitled to receive upon conversion or exchange of such Securities the number of securities or property to which a holder of the number
of shares of common stock or other securities of the Company deliverable upon conversion or exchange of those Securities would have been
entitled had such conversion or exchange occurred immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or other
disposition. If the Company is not the surviving entity of any such transaction, the Company or the continuing entity agrees to deliver
to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel stating that the transaction and the supplemental indenture complies
with this Section 10.01 and that all conditions precedent herein relating to the transaction have been satisfied.

Section 10.02  Successor
Entity Substituted.

consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or other disposition and upon the assumption by the successor entity by supplemental
indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee, of the obligations set forth under Section 10.01 on all of the
Securities of all series Outstanding, such successor entity shall succeed to and be substituted for the Company with the same effect as
if it had been named as the Company herein, and thereupon the predecessor corporation shall be relieved of all obligations and covenants
under this Indenture and the Securities.


 


(b)     In case of any such
consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or other disposition, such changes in phraseology and form (but not in substance) may
be made in the Securities thereafter to be issued as may be appropriate.


 


(c)     Nothing contained in
this Article shall require any action by the Company in the case of a consolidation or merger of any Person into the Company where
the Company is the survivor of such transaction, or the acquisition by the Company, by purchase or otherwise, of all or any part of the
property of any other Person (whether or not affiliated with the Company).

thereupon cease to be of further effect with respect to such series except for the provisions of Sections 2.03, 2.05, 2.07, 4.01, 4.02, 4.03 and 7.10,
that shall survive until the date of maturity or redemption date, as the case may be, and Sections 7.06 and 11.05,

the case may be, and if the Company shall also pay or cause to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company with respect to
such series, then after the date such moneys or Governmental Obligations, as the case may be, are deposited with the Trustee the obligations
of the Company under this Indenture with respect to such series shall cease to be of further effect except for the provisions of Sections
2.03, 2.05, 2.07, 4.01, 4.02, 4.03, 7.06, 7.10 and 11.05 hereof

survive.

All moneys or Governmental Obligations deposited
with the Trustee pursuant to Sections 11.01 or 11.02 shall be held in trust and shall be available

of the particular series of Securities for the payment or redemption of which such moneys or Governmental Obligations have been deposited
with the Trustee.

of Moneys Held by Paying Agents.


 


In connection with the satisfaction and discharge
of this Indenture all moneys or Governmental Obligations then held by any paying agent under the provisions of this Indenture shall, upon
demand of the Company, be paid to the Trustee and thereupon such paying agent shall be released from all further liability with respect
to such moneys or Governmental Obligations.


 


Section 11.05  Repayment
to Company.


 


Any moneys or Governmental Obligations deposited
with any paying agent or the Trustee, or then held by the Company, in trust for payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest
on the Securities of a particular series that are not applied but remain unclaimed by the holders of such Securities for at least two
years after the date upon which the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on such Securities shall have respectively become due
and payable, or such other shorter period set forth in applicable escheat or abandoned or unclaimed property law, shall be repaid to the
Company on May 31 of each year or upon the Company’s request or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such
trust; and thereupon the paying agent and the Trustee shall be released from all further liability with respect to such moneys or Governmental
Obligations, and the holder of any of the Securities entitled to receive such payment shall thereafter, as a general creditor, look only
