or taken by Holders of the Outstanding Securities of all series or one or more series, as the case may be, may be embodied in

to be given or taken by Holders of Securities of such series may, alternatively, be embodied in and evidenced by the record of
Holders of Securities of such series voting in favor thereof, either in person or by proxies duly appointed in writing, at any
meeting of Holders of Securities of such series duly called and held in accordance with the provisions of Article XV, or
a combination of such instruments and any such record. Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become
effective when such instrument or instruments or record or both are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly
required, to the Company. Such instrument or instruments and any such record (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby)
are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments or so voting
at any such meeting. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent, or of the holding by
any Person of a Security, shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the
Company and any agent of the Trustee or the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section 1.04. The record of

of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds,
certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him or her the execution thereof. Where such
execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute
sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing or the authority of the
Person executing the same may also be proved in any other reasonable manner that the Trustee deems sufficient.


 


(c)        The ownership of Registered Securities shall be proved by the Security Register.


 


(d)        If the Company shall solicit from the Holders of Registered Securities any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,

for the determination of Holders entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
Act, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so. Such record date shall be the record date specified in or pursuant to
such Board Resolution. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or other Act may be given before or after such record date, but only the Holders of record at the close of business on such record
date shall be deemed to be Holders for the purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of Outstanding
Securities have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or
other Act, and for that purpose the Outstanding Securities shall be computed as of such record date; provided that no such
authorization, agreement or consent by the Holders on such record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective
pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than eleven months after the record date.


 


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

(f)         To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions

a business entity, a charity, a Trust or other legal entity, the Trustee may request documentation to verify its formation and
existence as a legal entity. The Trustee may also ask to see financial statements, licenses, identification and authorization
documents from individuals claiming authority to represent the entity or other relevant documentation.


 


Section

(1)        
the Trustee by any Holder or by the Company shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished, filed or
mailed, first-class postage prepaid in writing to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, Attention: Global Corporate
Trust, or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Company by the Trustee, or


 


(2)        
the Company by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly
provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Company addressed to it at the address of its principal
office specified in the first paragraph of this Indenture, to the attention of its Secretary or at any other address previously

within one Business Day, to each such Holder affected by such event, at his address, facsimile number or email address, as applicable,
as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for
the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders of Registered Securities is given by mail or by overnight courier
guaranteeing next day delivery, or where notice is given by facsimile or email with the original documentation to follow, neither
the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency
of such notice with respect to other Holders of Registered Securities. Any notice mailed or sent to a Holder in the manner herein
prescribed shall be conclusively deemed to have been received by such Holder, whether or not such Holder actually receives such
notice.


 


If
by reason of the suspension of or irregularities in regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable
to give such notice by mail, facsimile or email, then such notification to Holders of Registered Securities as shall be made with
the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification to such Holders for every purpose hereunder.





     18


     


    



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


 


Where
this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such
notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders
shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance
upon such waiver.


 


Section
1.07.          Conflict with TIA.


 


If
any provision of this Indenture limits, qualifies or conflicts with a provision of the TIA that is required under the TIA to be
a part of and govern this Indenture, the provision of the TIA shall control. If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes
any provision of the TIA that may be so modified or excluded, the provision of the TIA shall be deemed to apply to this Indenture
as so modified or only to the extent not so excluded, as the case may be.

In
case any provision in this Indenture or in any Security shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.


 


Section

Nothing
in this Indenture or in the Securities, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto, any Security

or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

Indenture and the Securities shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of New York without regard
to principles of conflicts of laws. In connection with a registered offering of Securities, this Indenture is subject to the provisions
of the Trust Indenture Act required to be part of this Indenture and shall, to the extent applicable, be governed by such provisions.

In
any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Repayment Date, sinking fund payment date, Stated Maturity or Maturity
of any Security shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture
or any Security other than a provision in the Securities of any series which specifically states that such provision shall apply
in lieu of this Section 1.13), payment of principal (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, need not be made at such
Place of Payment on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment with the same force
and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Repayment Date or sinking fund payment date, or at the Stated
Maturity or Maturity; provided that no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such
Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Repayment Date, sinking fund payment date, Stated Maturity or Maturity, as the case may

Section
2.03.          Securities Issuable in Global Form.


 


If
Securities of or within a series are issuable in global form, as specified as contemplated by Section 3.01, then, notwithstanding
clause (8) of Section 3.01 and the provisions of Section 3.02, any such Security shall represent such of the
Outstanding Securities of such series as shall be specified therein and may provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount
of Outstanding Securities of such series from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities
of such series represented thereby may from time to time be increased or decreased to reflect exchanges. Any endorsement of a
Security in global form to reflect the amount, or any increase or decrease in the amount, of Outstanding Securities represented
thereby shall be made by the Trustee or the Security Registrar in such manner and upon instructions given by such Person or Persons
as shall be specified therein or in the Company Order to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.03 or Section
3.04. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.03 and, if applicable, Section 3.04, the Trustee or the Security
Registrar shall deliver and redeliver any Security in permanent global form in the manner and upon instructions given by the Person
or Persons specified therein or in the applicable Company Order. If a Company Order pursuant to Section 3.03 or Section
3.04 has been, or simultaneously is, delivered, any instructions by the Company with respect to endorsement, delivery or redelivery
of a Security in global form shall be in writing but need not comply with Section 1.02 and need not be accompanied by an
Opinion of Counsel.


 


The
provisions of the last sentence of Section 3.03 shall apply to any Security represented by a Security in global form if
such Security was never issued and sold by the Company and the Company delivers to the Trustee or the Security Registrar the Security
in global form together with written instructions (which need not comply with Section 1.02 and need not be accompanied
by an Opinion of Counsel) with regard to the reduction in the principal amount of Securities represented thereby, together with
the written statement contemplated by the last sentence of Section 3.03.





     21


     


    



Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 3.07, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01, payment of principal
of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on any Security in permanent global form shall be made to the Person or Persons
specified therein.


 


Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 3.09 and except as provided in the preceding paragraph, the Company, the Trustee and any agent
of the Company and the Trustee shall treat as the Holder of such principal amount of Outstanding Securities represented by a permanent
global Security, the Holder of such permanent global Security.


 


Unless
otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for the Securities evidenced thereby, every global Security authenticated
and delivered hereunder shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:


 


THIS
SECURITY IS A GLOBAL SECURITY WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE INDENTURE HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AND IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF A DEPOSITORY
OR A NOMINEE THEREOF. THIS SECURITY MAY NOT BE EXCHANGED IN WHOLE OR IN PART FOR A SECURITY REGISTERED, AND NO TRANSFER OF THIS
SECURITY IN WHOLE OR IN PART MAY BE REGISTERED, IN THE NAME OF ANY PERSON OTHER THAN SUCH DEPOSITORY OR A NOMINEE THEREOF, EXCEPT
IN THE LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES DESCRIBED IN THE INDENTURE.

of the Trust Indenture Act).


 


All
Securities of any one series shall be substantially identical except as to denomination and except as may otherwise be provided
in or pursuant to the Board Resolution referred to above (subject to Section 3.03) and set forth in the Officers’
Certificate referred to above or in any such indenture supplemental hereto. All Securities of any one series need not be issued
at the same time and, unless otherwise provided, a series may be reopened, without the consent of the Holders, for issuances of
additional Securities of such series.


 


If
any of the terms of the Securities of any series are established by action taken pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions, a
copy of an appropriate record of such action(s) shall be certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company and
delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Officers’ Certificate setting forth the terms of the Securities
of such series.


 


Section
3.02.          Denominations.


 


The
Securities of each series shall be issuable in such denominations as shall be specified as contemplated by Section 3.01.
With respect to Securities of any series denominated in Dollars, in the absence of any such provisions with respect to the Securities
of any series, the Registered Securities of such series, other than Registered Securities issued in global form (which may be

Section
3.03.          Execution, Authentication, Delivery
and Dating.


 


The
Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chief Executive Officer, its President, its Chief Financial Officer,
its Chief Accounting Officer, or any of its Co-Presidents, Executive Vice Presidents or Vice Presidents and attested by its Secretary
or any of its Assistant Secretaries. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities may be manual or by facsimile, .pdf
attachment or other electronically transmitted signature (with an original manual signature to be sent to the Trustee via overnight
mail immediately thereafter) of the present or any future such authorized officer and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced
on the Securities.


 


Securities
bearing the signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding
that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities
or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities.





     26


     


    



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 and an Officers’ Certificate and
Opinion of Counsel in accordance with Section 1.02 for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee
in accordance with the Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. If all the Securities of any series are not
to be issued at one time and if the Board Resolution or supplemental indenture establishing such series shall so permit, such
Company Order may set forth procedures acceptable to the Trustee for the issuance of such Securities and determining the terms
of particular Securities of such series, such as interest rate, maturity date, date of issuance and date from which interest shall
accrue. In authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such
Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to TIA Section 315(a) through 315(d)) shall be
fully protected in relying upon,


 







(i)           an Opinion of Counsel stating,


 


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


 


(b)         that the terms of such Securities have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and


 


(c)         that such Securities, when completed by appropriate insertions and executed and delivered by the Company to the Trustee for authentication
in accordance with this Indenture, authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in accordance with this Indenture and issued by
the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute legal, valid and
binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization and other similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights,
to general equitable principles and to such other qualifications as such counsel shall conclude do not materially affect the rights
of Holders of such Securities; and


 


(ii)           an Officers’ Certificate stating, to the best of the knowledge of the signers of such certificate, that no Event of Default
with respect to any of the Securities shall have occurred and be continuing.


 


Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 3.01 and of this Section 3.03, if all the Securities of any series are not to be issued
at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver an Officers’ Certificate otherwise required pursuant to Section 3.01
or the Company Order, Opinion of Counsel or Officers’ Certificate otherwise required pursuant to the preceding paragraph
at the time of issuance of each Security of such series, but such order, opinion and certificates, with appropriate modifications
to cover such future issuances, shall be delivered at or before the time of issuance of the first Security of such series.


 


If
such form or terms have been so established, the Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Securities if the issue of
such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties, obligations or immunities under
the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner that is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Notwithstanding the
generality of the foregoing, the Trustee will not be required to authenticate Securities denominated in a Foreign Currency if
the Trustee reasonably believes that it would be unable to perform its duties with respect to such Securities.


 


Each
Registered Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.





     27


     


    



No
Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears
on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein duly executed by the Trustee or
an Authenticating Agent by manual signature of an authorized signatory, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive
evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and is entitled to the
benefits of this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder
but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided
in Section 3.10 together with a written statement (which need not comply with Section 1.02 and need not be accompanied
by an Opinion of Counsel) stating that such Security has never been issued and sold by the Company, for all purposes of this Indenture
such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits
of this Indenture.


 


Notwithstanding
the generality of the foregoing, the Trustee will not be required to authenticate Securities denominated in a Foreign Currency
if the Trustee reasonably believes that it would be unable to perform its duties with respect to such Securities.


 


Section
3.04.          Temporary Securities.


 


Pending
the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver, temporary Securities that are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized
denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued, in registered form and
with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Securities may
determine, as conclusively evidenced by their execution of such Securities. In the case of Securities of any series, such temporary
Securities may be in global form.


 


Except
in the case of temporary Securities in global form (which shall be exchanged as provided in or pursuant to a Board Resolution),
if temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities of that series to be prepared without
unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities of such series, the temporary Securities of such series shall
be exchangeable for definitive Securities of such series upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such series at the office
or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that series, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation
of any one or more temporary Securities of any series, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver
in exchange therefor a like principal amount and like tenor of definitive Securities of the same series of authorized denominations.
Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture
as definitive Securities of such series.


 







Section
3.05.          Registration, Registration of Transfer
and Exchange.


 


The
Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or in any office or agency of the Company in a Place
of Payment a register for each series of Securities (the registers maintained in such office or in any such office or agency of
the Company in a Place of Payment being herein sometimes referred to collectively as the “Security Register”)
in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Registered
Securities and of transfers of Registered Securities. The Security Register shall be in written form or any other form capable
of being converted into written form within a reasonable time. The Trustee, at its Corporate Trust Office, is hereby initially
appointed “Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering Registered Securities and transfers of Registered
Securities on such Security Register as herein provided, and for facilitating exchanges of temporary global Securities for permanent
global Securities or definitive Securities, or both, or of permanent global Securities for definitive Securities, or both, as
herein provided. In the event that the Trustee shall cease to be Security Registrar, it shall have the right to examine the Security
Register at all reasonable times. In acting hereunder and in connection with the Securities, the Security Registrar shall act
solely as an agent of the Company, and will not thereby assume any obligations towards or relationship of agency or trust for
or with any Holder.





     28


     


    



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


 


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


 


Whenever
any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the
Securities that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.


 


Notwithstanding
the foregoing, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01, any permanent global Security shall
be exchangeable only as provided in this paragraph. If any beneficial owner of an interest in a permanent global Security is entitled
to exchange such interest for Securities of such series and of like tenor and principal amount of another authorized form and
denomination, as specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 and provided that any applicable notice provided in the permanent
global Security shall have been given, then without unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the earliest date on which
such interest may be so exchanged, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee definitive Securities in aggregate principal amount
equal to the principal amount of such beneficial owner’s interest in such permanent global Security, executed by the Company.
On or after the earliest date on which such interests may be so exchanged, such permanent global Security shall be surrendered
by the depository specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 or such other depository as shall be specified in the Company
Order with respect thereto to the Trustee, as the Company’s agent for such purpose, or to the Security Registrar, to be
exchanged, in whole or from time to time in part, for definitive Securities of the same series without charge and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for each portion of such permanent global Security, an equal aggregate principal amount
of definitive Securities of the same series of authorized denominations and of like tenor as the portion of such permanent global
Security to be exchanged; provided, however, that no such exchanges may occur during a period beginning at the opening
of business 15 days before any selection of Securities to be redeemed and ending on the relevant Redemption Date if the Security
for which exchange is requested may be among those selected for redemption. If a Registered Security is issued in exchange for
any portion of a permanent global Security after the close of business at the office or agency where such exchange occurs on (i)
any Regular Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the relevant Interest Payment Date, or
(ii) any Special Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the related proposed date for payment
of Defaulted Interest or interest, as the case may be, will not be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for
payment, as the case may be, in respect of such Registered Security, but will be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed
date for payment, as the case may be, only to the Person to whom interest in respect of such portion of such permanent global
Security is payable in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.





     29


     


    



All
Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be valid obligations of the Company, evidencing
the same debt and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of
transfer or exchange.


 


Every
Registered Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company
or the Security Registrar or any transfer agent) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney or any transfer agent
duly authorized in writing.


 


No
service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company or the Trustee may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 3.04, 9.06, 11.07
or 13.05 not involving any transfer.


 


The
Company shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Security if such Security may be among those
selected for redemption during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before selection of the Securities to be
redeemed under Section 11.03 and ending at the close of business on the day of the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption,
or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Registered Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except,
in the case of any Registered Security to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed or (iii) to issue, register
the transfer of or exchange any Security that has been surrendered for repayment at the option of the Holder, except the portion,
if any, of such Security not to be so repaid.


 


The
Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of a global Security, a member of, or a participant
in, DTC or other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of DTC or its nominee or of any participant or member thereof,
with respect to any ownership interest in the Securities or with respect to the delivery to any participant, member, beneficial
owner or other Person (other than DTC) of any notice (including any notice of redemption or purchase) or the payment of any amount
or delivery of any Securities (or other security or property) under or with respect to such Securities. All notices and communications
to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders in respect of the Securities shall be given or made only to
or upon the order of the registered Holders (which shall be DTC or its nominee in the case of a global Security). The rights of
beneficial owners in any global Security shall be exercised only through DTC subject to the applicable rules and procedures of
DTC. The Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by DTC with respect to its members,
participants and any beneficial owners.







     30


     


    



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 DTC participants, members or beneficial owners 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 of its agents shall have any responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by DTC.


 


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


 


If
any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee or the Company, together with, in proper cases, such security or indemnity
as may be required by the Company or the Trustee to save each of them or any agent of either of them harmless, the Company shall
execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same series and principal amount,
containing identical terms and provisions and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.


 


If
there shall be delivered to the Company and to the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft
of any Security, and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of
them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a protected
purchaser, the Company shall, subject to the following paragraph, execute and upon its request the Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same series and principal amount, containing
identical terms and provisions and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.


 


Notwithstanding
the provisions of the previous two paragraphs, in case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is
about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security.


 


Upon
the issuance of any new Security under this Section 3.06, the Company, the Paying Agent, or the Security Registrar 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 reasonable and documented fees and expenses of the Trustee, the Paying Agent, or the Security
Registrar) connected therewith.





     31


     


    



Every
new Security of any series issued pursuant to this Section 3.06 in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall
constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security
shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately
with any and all other Securities of that series duly issued hereunder.


 


The
provisions of this Section 3.06 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with
respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities.


 


Section
3.07.         Payment of Interest; Interest Rights
Preserved; Optional Interest Reset.


 


(a)        
   Except as otherwise specified with respect to a series of Securities in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01,
interest, if any, on any Registered Security that is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment
Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close
of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose pursuant
to Section 10.02; provided, however, that each installment of interest, if any, on any Registered Security
may at the Company’s option be paid by (i) mailing a check for such interest, payable to or upon the written order of the
Person entitled thereto pursuant to Section 3.09, to the address of such Person as it appears on the Security Register
or (ii) transfer to an account maintained by the payee located in the United States.


 


Except
as otherwise specified with respect to a series of Securities in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01, any interest
on any Registered Security of any series that is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment
Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder thereof
on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company,
at its election in each case, as provided in clause (1) or (2) below:


 


(1)              
The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Registered Securities of such
series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment
of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the
amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Registered Security of such series and the date of the proposed payment
(which shall not be less than 20 days after such notice is received by the Trustee), and at the same time the Company shall deposit
with the Trustee an amount of money in the Currency in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified
pursuant to Section 3.01 for the Securities of such series and except, if applicable, as provided in Sections 3.12(b),
3.12(d) and 3.12(e)) 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 on or prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money
when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided.
Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than
15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the
Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and,
in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special
Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of Registered Securities of such series at his
address as it appears in the Security Register not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed
payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest
shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Registered Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities)
are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause
(2).





     32


     


    



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


 


(b)           The provisions of this Section 3.07(b) may be made applicable to any series of Securities pursuant to Section 3.01
(with such modifications, additions or substitutions as may be specified pursuant to such Section 3.01). The interest rate
(or the spread or spread multiplier used to calculate such interest rate, if applicable) on any Security of such series may be
reset by the Company on the date or dates specified on the face of such Security (each an “Optional Reset Date”).
The Company may exercise such option with respect to such Security by notifying the Trustee of such exercise at least 45 but not
more than 60 days prior to an Optional Reset Date for such Security. Not later than 35 days prior to each Optional Reset Date,
the Trustee shall transmit, in the manner provided for in Section 1.06, to the Holder of any such Security a notice (the
 “Reset Notice”) indicating whether the Company has elected to reset the interest rate (or the spread or spread multiplier
used to calculate such interest rate, if applicable), and if so (i) such new interest rate (or such new spread or spread multiplier,
if applicable) and (ii) the provisions, if any, for redemption during the period from such Optional Reset Date to the next Optional
Reset Date or if there is no such next Optional Reset Date, to the Stated Maturity of such Security (each such period a “Subsequent
Interest Period”), including the date or dates on which or the period or periods during which and the price or prices
at which such redemption may occur during the Subsequent Interest Period.


 


Notwithstanding
the foregoing, not later than 20 days prior to the Optional Reset Date (or if 20 days does not fall on a Business Day, the next
succeeding Business Day), the Company may, at its option, revoke the interest rate (or the spread or spread multiplier used to
calculate such interest rate, if applicable) provided for in the Reset Notice and establish a higher interest rate (or a spread
or spread multiplier providing for a higher interest rate, if applicable) for the Subsequent Interest Period by causing the Trustee
to transmit, in the manner provided for in Section 1.06, notice of such higher interest rate (or such higher spread or
spread multiplier providing for a higher interest rate, if applicable) to the Holder of such Security. Such notice shall be irrevocable.
All Securities with respect to which the interest rate (or the spread or spread multiplier used to calculate such interest rate,
if applicable) is reset on an Optional Reset Date, and with respect to which the Holders of such Securities have not tendered
such Securities for repayment (or have validly revoked any such tender) pursuant to the next succeeding paragraph, will bear such
higher interest rate (or such higher spread or spread multiplier providing for a higher interest rate, if applicable).





     33


     


    



The
Holder of any such Security will have the option to elect repayment by the Company of the principal of such Security on each Optional
Reset Date at a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus interest accrued to such Optional Reset Date. In order to obtain
repayment on an Optional Reset Date, the Holder must follow the procedures set forth in Article XIII for repayment at the
option of Holders except that the period for delivery or notification to the Trustee shall be at least 25 but not more than 35
days prior to such Optional Reset Date and except that, if the Holder has tendered any Security for repayment pursuant to the
Reset Notice, the Holder may, by written notice to the Trustee, revoke such tender or repayment until the close of business on
the tenth day before such Optional Reset Date.


 


Subject
to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.07 and Section 3.05, each Security delivered under this Indenture
upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued
and unpaid, and to accrue, that were carried by such other Security.


 


Section
3.08.          Optional Extension of Maturity.


 


The
provisions of this Section 3.08 may be made applicable to any series of Securities pursuant to Section 3.01 (with
such modifications, additions or substitutions as may be specified pursuant to such Section 3.01). The Stated Maturity
of any Security of such series may be extended at the option of the Company for the period or periods specified on the face of
such Security (each an “Extension Period”) up to but not beyond the date (the “Final Maturity”)
set forth on the face of such Security. The Company may exercise such option with respect to any Security by notifying the Trustee
of such exercise at least 45 but not more than 60 days prior to the Stated Maturity of such Security in effect prior to the exercise
of such option (the “Original Stated Maturity”). If the Company exercises such option, the Trustee shall transmit,
in the manner provided for in Section 1.06, to the Holder of such Security not later than 35 days prior to the Original
Stated Maturity a notice (the “Extension Notice”), prepared by the Company, indicating (i) the election of
the Company to extend the Stated Maturity, (ii) the new Stated Maturity, (iii) the interest rate (or spread, spread multiplier
or other formula to calculate such interest rate, if applicable), if any, applicable to the Extension Period and (iv) the provisions,
if any, for redemption during such Extension Period. Upon the Trustee’s transmittal of the Extension Notice, the Stated
Maturity of such Security shall be extended automatically and, except as modified by the Extension Notice and as described in
the next paragraph, such Security will have the same terms as prior to the transmittal of such Extension Notice.


 


Notwithstanding
the foregoing, not later than 20 days before the Original Stated Maturity (or if 20 days does not fall on a Business Day, the
next succeeding Business Day) of such Security, the Company may, at its option, revoke the interest rate (or spread, spread multiplier
or other formula to calculate such interest rate, if applicable) provided for in the Extension Notice and establish a higher interest
rate (or spread, spread multiplier or other formula to calculate such higher interest rate, if applicable) for the Extension Period
by causing the Trustee to transmit, in the manner provided for in Section 1.06, notice of such higher interest rate (or
spread, spread multiplier or other formula to calculate such interest rate, if applicable) to the Holder of such Security. Such
notice shall be irrevocable. All Securities with respect to which the Stated Maturity is extended will bear such higher interest
rate.





     34


     


    



If
the Company extends the Stated Maturity of any Security, the Holder will have the option to elect repayment of such Security by
the Company on the Original Stated Maturity at a price equal to the principal amount thereof, plus interest accrued to such date.
In order to obtain repayment on the Original Stated Maturity once the Company has extended the Stated Maturity thereof, the Holder
must follow the procedures set forth in Article XIII for repayment at the option of Holders, except that the period for
delivery or notification to the Trustee shall be at least 25 but not more than 35 days prior to the Original Stated Maturity and
except that, if the Holder has tendered any Security for repayment pursuant to an Extension Notice, the Holder may by written
notice to the Trustee revoke such tender for repayment until the close of business on the tenth day before the Original Stated
Maturity.


 


Section
3.09.          Persons Deemed Owners.


 


Prior
to due presentment of a Registered Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company
or the Trustee shall treat the Person in whose name such Registered Security is registered as the owner of such Registered Security
for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Sections 3.05 and 3.07)
interest, if any, on such Registered Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Registered Security be
overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.


 


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


 


Notwithstanding
the foregoing, with respect to any global temporary or permanent Security, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee,
or any agent of the Company or the Trustee, from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished
by any depository, as a Holder, with respect to such global Security or impair, as between such depository and owners of beneficial
interests in such global Security, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of such depository
(or its nominee) as Holder of such global Security.


 


Section
3.10.          Cancellation.


 


All
Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, repayment at the option of the Holder, registration of transfer or exchange or
for credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee,
and any such Securities surrendered directly to the Trustee for any such purpose shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. The
Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder
which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery
to the Trustee) for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold,
and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. If the Company shall so 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 surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or
in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section 3.10, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture.
Cancelled Securities held by the Trustee shall be destroyed by the Trustee in accordance with its customary procedures, unless
by a Company Order the Company directs the Trustee to deliver a certificate of such destruction to the Company or to return them
to the Company.





     35


     


    



Section
3.11.          Computation of Interest.


 


Except
as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 with respect to Securities of any series, interest, if any, on the
Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.


 


Section
3.12.          Currency and Manner of Payments in Respect
of Securities.


 


(a)           Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Securities pursuant to Section 3.01, with respect to Registered Securities
of any series not permitting the election provided for in paragraph (b) below or the Holders of which have not made the election
provided for in paragraph (b) below, payment of the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest, if any, on any Registered
Security of such series will be made in the Currency in which such Registered Security is payable. The provisions of this Section
3.12 may be modified or superseded with respect to any Securities pursuant to Section 3.01.


 


(b)           It may be provided pursuant to Section 3.01 with respect to Registered Securities of any series that Holders shall have
the option, subject to paragraphs (d) and (e) below, to receive payments of principal of (or premium, if any, on) or interest,
if any, on such Registered Securities in any of the Currencies which may be designated for such election by delivering to the
Trustee for such series of Registered Securities a written election with signature guarantees and in the applicable form established
pursuant to Section 3.01, not later than the close of business on the Election Date immediately preceding the applicable
payment date. If a Holder so elects to receive such payments in any such Currency, such election will remain in effect for such
Holder or any transferee of such Holder until changed by such Holder or such transferee by written notice to the Trustee for such
series of Registered Securities (but any such change must be made not later than the close of business on the Election Date immediately
preceding the next payment date to be effective for the payment to be made on such payment date and no such change of election
may be made with respect to payments to be made on any Registered Security of such series with respect to which an Event of Default
has occurred or with respect to which the Company has deposited funds pursuant to Article IV or XIV or with respect
to which a notice of redemption has been given by the Company or a notice of option to elect repayment has been sent by such Holder
or such transferee). Any Holder of any such Registered Security who shall not have delivered any such election to the Trustee
of such series of Registered Securities not later than the close of business on the applicable Election Date will be paid the
amount due on the applicable payment date in the relevant Currency as provided in Section 3.12(a). The Trustee for each
such series of Registered Securities shall notify the Exchange Rate Agent as soon as practicable after the Election Date of the
aggregate principal amount in US Dollars of Registered Securities for which Holders have made such written election.





     36


     


    



(c)           Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01, if the election referred to in paragraph (b) above has been provided
for pursuant to Section 3.01, then, not later than the fourth Business Day after the Election Date for each payment date
for Registered Securities of any series, the Exchange Rate Agent will deliver to the Company a written notice specifying the Currency
in which Registered Securities of such series are payable, the respective aggregate amounts of principal of (and premium, if any,
on) and interest, if any, on the Registered Securities to be paid on such payment date, specifying the amounts in such Currency
so payable in respect of the Registered Securities as to which the Holders of Registered Securities denominated in any Currency
shall have elected to be paid in another Currency as provided in paragraph (b) above. Unless the Trustee is acting as the Exchange
Rate Agent, the Trustee shall have no obligation to complete the actual exchange of distribution amounts from one Currency to
another Currency. If the election referred to in paragraph (b) above has been provided for pursuant to Section 3.01 and
if at least one Holder has made such election, then, unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01, on the second
Business Day preceding such payment date the Company will deliver to the Trustee for such series of Registered Securities an Exchange
Rate Officer’s Certificate in respect of the Dollar or Foreign Currency or Currencies payments to be made on such payment
date. Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01, the Dollar or Foreign Currency or Currencies amount receivable
by Holders of Registered Securities who have elected payment in a Currency as provided in paragraph (b) above shall be determined
by the Company on the basis of the applicable Market Exchange Rate in effect on the second Business Day (the “Valuation
Date”) immediately preceding each payment date, and such determination shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes,
absent manifest error.


 


(d)           If a Conversion Event occurs with respect to a Foreign Currency in which any of the Securities are denominated or payable other
than pursuant to an election provided for pursuant to paragraph (b) above, then with respect to each date for the payment of principal
of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on the applicable Securities denominated or payable in such Foreign Currency occurring
after the last date on which such Foreign Currency was used (the “Conversion Date”), the Dollar shall be the
currency of payment for use on each such payment date. Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01, the Dollar
amount to be paid by the Company to the Trustee of each such series of Securities and by such Trustee or any Paying Agent to the
Holders of such Securities with respect to such payment date shall be, in the case of a Foreign Currency other than a currency
unit, the Dollar Equivalent of the Foreign Currency or, in the case of a currency unit, the Dollar Equivalent of the Currency
Unit, in each case as determined by the Exchange Rate Agent in the manner provided in paragraph (f) or (g) below.


 







(e)           Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01, if the Holder of a Registered Security denominated in any Currency
shall have elected to be paid in another Currency as provided in paragraph (b) above, and a Conversion Event occurs with respect
to such elected Currency, such Holder shall receive payment in the Currency in which payment would have been made in the absence
of such election; and if a Conversion Event occurs with respect to the Currency in which payment would have been made in the absence
of such election, such Holder shall receive payment in Dollars as provided in paragraph (d) of this Section 3.12.





     37


     


    



(f)           The “Dollar Equivalent of the Foreign Currency” shall be determined by the Exchange Rate Agent and shall be
obtained for each subsequent payment date by converting the specified Foreign Currency into Dollars at the Market Exchange Rate
on the Conversion Date.


 


(g)           The “Dollar Equivalent of the Currency Unit” shall be determined by the Exchange Rate Agent and subject to
the provisions of paragraph (h) below shall be the sum of each amount obtained by converting the Specified Amount of each Component
Currency into Dollars at the Market Exchange Rate for such Component Currency on the Valuation Date with respect to each payment.


 


(h)           For purposes of this Section 3.12, the following terms shall have the following meanings:


 


A
 “Component Currency” shall mean any currency which, on the Conversion Date, was a component currency of the
relevant currency unit.


 


A
 “Specified Amount” of a Component Currency shall mean the number of units of such Component Currency or fractions
thereof which were represented in the relevant currency unit on the Conversion Date. If after the Conversion Date the official
unit of any Component Currency is altered by way of combination or subdivision, the Specified Amount of such Component Currency
shall be divided or multiplied in the same proportion. If after the Conversion Date two or more Component Currencies are consolidated
into a single currency, the respective Specified Amounts of such Component Currencies shall be replaced by an amount in such single
currency equal to the sum of the respective Specified Amounts of such consolidated Component Currencies expressed in such single
currency, and such amount shall thereafter be a Specified Amount and such single currency shall thereafter be a Component Currency.
If after the Conversion Date any Component Currency shall be divided into two or more currencies, the Specified Amount of such
Component Currency shall be replaced by amounts of such two or more currencies, having an aggregate Dollar Equivalent value at
the Market Exchange Rate on the date of such replacement equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the Specified Amount of such former
Component Currency at the Market Exchange Rate immediately before such division, and such amounts shall thereafter be Specified
Amounts and such currencies shall thereafter be Component Currencies. If, after the Conversion Date of the relevant currency unit,
a Conversion Event (other than any event referred to above in this definition of “Specified Amount”) occurs with respect
to any Component Currency of such currency unit and is continuing on the applicable Valuation Date, the Specified Amount of such
Component Currency shall, for purposes of calculating the Dollar Equivalent of the Currency Unit, be converted into Dollars at
the Market Exchange Rate in effect on the Conversion Date of such Component Currency.





     38


     


    



An
 “Election Date” shall mean the Regular Record Date for the applicable series of Registered Securities or at
least 16 days prior to Maturity, as the case may be, or such other prior date for any series of Registered Securities as specified
pursuant to clause (13) of Section 3.01 by which the written election referred to in Section 3.12(b) may be made.


 


All
decisions and determinations of the Exchange Rate Agent regarding the Dollar Equivalent of the Foreign Currency, the Dollar Equivalent
of the Currency Unit, the Market Exchange Rate and changes in the Specified Amounts as specified above shall be in its sole discretion
and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and irrevocably binding upon the Company, the Trustee
for the appropriate series of Securities and all Holders of such Securities denominated or payable in the relevant Currency. The
Exchange Rate Agent shall promptly give written notice to the Company and the Trustee for the appropriate series of Securities
of any such decision or determination.


 


In
the event that the Company determines in good faith that a Conversion Event has occurred with respect to a Foreign Currency, the
Company will immediately give written notice thereof to the Trustee of the appropriate series of Securities and to the Exchange
Rate Agent (and such Trustee will promptly thereafter give notice in the manner provided in Section 1.06 to the affected
Holders) specifying the Conversion Date. In the event the Company so determines that a Conversion Event has occurred with respect
to any other currency unit in which Securities are denominated or payable, the Company will immediately give written notice thereof
to the Trustee of the appropriate series of Securities and to the Exchange Rate Agent (and such Trustee will promptly thereafter
give notice in the manner provided in Section 1.06 to the affected Holders) specifying the Conversion Date and the Specified
Amount of each Component Currency on the Conversion Date. In the event the Company determines in good faith that any subsequent
change in any Component Currency as set forth in the definition of Specified Amount above has occurred, the Company will similarly
give written notice to the Trustee of the appropriate series of Securities and to the Exchange Rate Agent.


 


The
Trustee of the appropriate series of Securities shall be fully justified and protected in relying and acting upon information
received by it from the Company and the Exchange Rate Agent and shall not otherwise have any duty or obligation to determine the
accuracy or validity of such information independent of the Company or the Exchange Rate Agent.


 


Section
3.13.          Appointment and Resignation of Successor
Exchange Rate Agent.


 


(a)           Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01, if and so long as the Securities of any series (i) are denominated
in a Foreign Currency or (ii) may be payable in a Foreign Currency, or so long as it is required under any other provision of
this Indenture, then the Company will engage and maintain with respect to each such series of Securities, or as so required, at
least one Exchange Rate Agent. The Company will cause the Exchange Rate Agent to make the necessary foreign exchange determinations
at the time and in the manner specified pursuant to Section 3.01 for the purpose of determining the applicable rate of
exchange and, if applicable, for the purpose of converting the issued Foreign Currency into the applicable payment Currency for
the payment of principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, pursuant to Section 3.12.





     39


     


    



(b)           No resignation of the Exchange Rate Agent and no appointment of a successor Exchange Rate Agent pursuant to this Section 3.13
shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Exchange Rate Agent as evidenced by a written
instrument delivered to the Company and the Trustee of the appropriate series of Securities accepting such appointment executed
by the successor Exchange Rate Agent.


 


(c)           If the Exchange Rate Agent shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of
the Exchange Rate Agent for any cause, with respect to the Securities of one or more series, the Company, by or pursuant to a
Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Exchange Rate Agent or Exchange Rate Agents with respect to the Securities
of that or those series (it being understood that any such successor Exchange Rate Agent may be appointed with respect to the
Securities of one or more or all of such series and that, unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01, at any time
there shall only be one Exchange Rate Agent with respect to the Securities of any particular series that are originally issued
by the Company on the same date and that are initially denominated and/or payable in the same Currency).


 


Section
3.14.          CUSIP Numbers.


 


The
Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee
shall indicate the respective “CUSIP” numbers of the Securities in notices of redemption as a convenience to
Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers
either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the
other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or
omission of such numbers. The Company shall advise the Trustee as promptly as practicable in writing of any change in the
CUSIP numbers.

4.01.          Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture.

specified in such Company Request (except as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of Securities of
such series expressly provided for herein or pursuant hereto, any surviving rights of tender for repayment at the option of the
Holders and any right to receive Additional Amounts, as provided in Section 10.04), and the Trustee, upon receipt

of this Indenture as to such series when:

destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 3.06 and (ii) Securities of such
series for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust with the Trustee or any Paying Agent or segregated and

all Securities of such series


 


(i)        have become due and payable;


 


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


 


(iii)      if redeemable at the option of the Company, are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to
the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company, and the Company,
in the case of (i), (ii) or (iii) above, has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in
trust for such purpose, solely for the benefit of the Holders, an amount in the Currency in which the Securities of such series
are payable, sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee
for cancellation, for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, to the date of such deposit (in the case of Securities
which have become due and payable) or to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be;


 


(2)           the Company has irrevocably paid or caused to be irrevocably paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company; and


 


(3)           the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions
precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as to such series have been complied

Notwithstanding
the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the obligations of the Company to the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee under
Section 6.06, the obligations of the Company to any Authenticating Agent under Section 6.12 and, if money shall
have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (B) of clause (1) of this Section 4.01, the obligations of the
Trustee under Section 4.02 and the last paragraph of Section 10.03 shall survive any termination of this Indenture.


 


Section
4.02.          Application of Trust Funds.


 


Subject
to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 10.03, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section
4.01 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities and this Indenture, to
the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the
Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, for
whose payment such money has been deposited with or received by the Trustee, but such money need not be segregated from other
funds except to the extent required by law. In acting under this Indenture and in connection with the Securities, the Paying
Agent shall act solely as an agent of the Company, and will not thereby assume any obligations towards or relationship of
agency or trust for or with any Holder.

Section
5.02.       Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission
and Annulment.


 


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





     43


     


    



Any
application by the Trustee for written instructions from the requisite amount of Holders (as determined pursuant to this Indenture)
may, at the option of the Trustee, set forth in writing any action proposed to be taken or omitted by the Trustee under this Indenture
and the date on and/or after which such action shall be taken or such omission shall be effective. The Trustee shall not be liable
for any action taken by, or omission of, the Trustee in accordance with a proposal included in such application on or after the
date specified in such application unless prior to taking any such action (or the effective date in the case of an omission),
the Trustee shall have received written instructions from the requisite amount of Holders (as determined pursuant to this Indenture)
in response to such application specifying the action to be taken or omitted.


 


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


 


(1)          the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay in the Currency in which the Securities of such series
are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01 for the Securities of such series and except, if applicable,
as provided in Sections 3.12(b), 3.12(d) and 3.12(e)):


 


(A)          all overdue installments of interest, if any, on all Outstanding Securities of that series;


 


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


 


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


 


(D)          all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and counsel; and


 


(2)          all Events of Default with respect to Securities of that series, other than the nonpayment of the principal of (or premium, if
any) or interest on Securities of that series that have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured
or waived as provided in Section 5.13.





     44


     


    



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


 


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


 


The
Company covenants that if:


 


(1)           default is made in the payment of any installment of interest on any Security of any series when such interest becomes due and
payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or


 


(2)           default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security of any series at its Maturity,


 


then
the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of Securities of such series,
the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, with interest
upon any overdue principal (and premium, if any) and, to the extent that payment of such interest would not cause interest on
such Security to exceed the maximum interest rate permitted by applicable law, upon any overdue installments of interest, if any,
at the rate or rates borne by or provided for in such Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient
to cover the reasonable and documented costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements
and advances of the Trustee and its agents and counsel, the Paying Agent and the Security Registrar.


 


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


 


If
an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed
to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series by such appropriate judicial proceedings
as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant
or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.





     45


     


    



Section
5.04.          Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.


 


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


 







(i)        
to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal (or in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities or Indexed Securities,
such portion of the principal as may be provided for in the terms thereof) (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, owing and
unpaid in respect of the Securities and to file such other papers or documents, and take such other actions, including serving
on a committee of creditors, as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim
for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Holders
allowed in such judicial proceeding, and


 


(ii)       
to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and
any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator (or other similar official) in any such judicial proceeding
is hereby authorized by each Holder 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 the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee, their agents and counsel,
and any other amounts due the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee under Section 6.06.


 


Subject
to Article VIII and Section 9.02 and unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.01, nothing herein
contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder of a
Security any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder
thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder of a Security in any such proceeding.


 


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


 


All
rights of action and claims under this Indenture or any of the Securities may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without
the possession of any of the Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding
instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall,
after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents
and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.


 


The
Trustee shall be entitled to participate, in its capacity as Trustee, on behalf of (and at the request of) the Holders, as a member
of any official committee of creditors in the matters it deems advisable.





     46


     


    



Section
5.06.          Application of Money Collected.


 


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


 







FIRST:
To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee under Section 6.06 and any other agent hereunder;


 


SECOND:
To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon the Securities for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any,
in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, giving effect to Article XVI, if applicable,
but otherwise ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the aggregate amounts due and payable on such
Securities for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, respectively; and


 


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


 


Section
5.07.          Limitation on Suits.


 


No
Holder of any Security of any series shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to
this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:


 


(1)           such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities
of that series;


 


(2)           the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series shall have made written request
to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder;


 


(3)           such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity, security, or both, satisfactory to the Trustee, against the costs,
expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request;


 


(4)           the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity and/or security has failed to institute
any such proceeding; and


 


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


 


it
being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or
by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders, or to
obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture,
except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all such Holders.





     47


     


    



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


 


Notwithstanding
any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the right which is absolute and unconditional to
receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Sections 3.05 and 3.07) interest, if any,
on such Security on the Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption
Date or, in the case of repayment at the option of the Holders on the Repayment Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement
of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.


 


Section
5.09.          Restoration of Rights and Remedies.


 


If
the Trustee or any Holder of a Security has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and
such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such
Holder, then and in every such case the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of Securities shall, subject to any determination
in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies
of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.


 


Section
5.10.          Rights and Remedies Cumulative.


 


Except
as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last
paragraph of Section 3.06, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities
is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be
cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or
otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion
or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.


 


Section
5.11.          Delay or Omission Not Waiver.


 


No
delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Security to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default
shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right
and remedy given by this Article V or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as
often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders of Securities, as the case may be.

to Section 6.02, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series shall have the
right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising
any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series, provided that


 







(1)           such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture;


 


(2)           the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction;


 


(3)          
the Trustee need not take any action that might involve it in personal liability or be unjustly prejudicial to the Holders of
Securities of such series not consenting; and


 


(4)          
prior to taking any such action hereunder, the Trustee may demand security or indemnity satisfactory to it in accordance with
Section 6.02.


 


Section
5.13.          Waiver of Past Defaults.


 


Subject
to Section 5.02, the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series
may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series waive any past default hereunder with respect to Securities
of such series and its consequences, except a default


 


(1)          
in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on any Security of such series, or


 


(2)          
in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article IX cannot be modified or amended without the consent of
the Holder of each Outstanding Security of such series affected.


 


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


 


Section
5.14.          Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.


 


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


 


Section
5.15.          Undertaking for Costs.


 


In
any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken
or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking
to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorney’s
fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses
made by the party litigant. This Section 5.15 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section
5.08 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the then Outstanding Securities, or to any action,
suit or proceeding instituted by any Holder of Securities of any series for the enforcement of the payment of the principal or
premium, if any, or the interest on, any of the Securities of such series, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such
Securities.

Article
VI



THE TRUSTEE


 


Section
6.01.          Notice of Defaults.


 


Within
90 days after the occurrence of any Default hereunder with respect to the Securities of any series, the Trustee shall transmit
in the manner and to the extent provided in TIA Section 313(c), notice of such Default hereunder known to a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee, unless such Default shall have been cured or waived; provided, however, that, except in the case
of a Default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on any Security of such series, or in
the payment of any sinking or purchase fund installment with respect to the Securities of such series, the Trustee shall be protected
in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of trustees, the executive committee or a trust committee of trustees and/or
Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders
of the Securities of such series; and provided further that in the case of any Default or breach of the character specified
in Section 5.01(4) with respect to the Securities of such series, no such notice to Holders shall be given until at least
90 days after the occurrence thereof.


 


Section
6.02.         Certain Rights and Duties of Trustee.


 


(1)           Prior to the time when the occurrence of an Event of Default becomes known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee and after the
curing or waiving of all such Events of Default with respect to a series of Securities that may have occurred:


 


(i)        the duties and obligations of the Trustee hereunder and with respect to the Securities of any series shall be determined solely
by the express provisions of this Indenture, including without limitation Section 1.07 of this Indenture, and the Trustee
shall not be liable with respect to the Securities except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically
set forth in this Indenture, including without limitation Section 1.07 of this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations
shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and


 


(ii)       in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may 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 on their face to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of any mathematical
calculations or other facts stated therein).





     50


     


    



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


 


(3)           No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own grossly negligent action,
its own grossly negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that the Trustee shall not be liable for any error
of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was
negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.


 


(4)           The Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate,
statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, coupon or other paper
or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.


 


(5)           Any request or direction of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Company Request or Company Order
(other than delivery of any Security, to the Trustee for authentication and delivery pursuant to Section 3.03 which shall
be sufficiently evidenced as provided therein) and any resolution of the Board of Trustees may be sufficiently evidenced by a
Board Resolution.


 


(6)           Whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior
to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may
require and, in the absence of bad faith on its part, rely upon a Board Resolution, an Opinion of Counsel or an Officers’
Certificate.


 


(7)           The Trustee may consult with counsel and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete
authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance
thereon.


 


(8)           The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request
or direction of any of the Holders of Securities of any series pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered

(18)         The Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Indenture
arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including without limitation,

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


 


The
recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, shall be taken as the
statements of the Company, and neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent assumes any responsibility for their correctness.
The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities, except that the
Trustee represents that it is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Indenture, authenticate the Securities and perform its
obligations hereunder and that the statements made by it in a Statement of Eligibility on Form T-1 supplied to the Company are
true and accurate, subject to the qualifications set forth therein. Neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent shall be
accountable for the use or application by the Company of Securities or the proceeds thereof.

The
Trustee, any Paying Agent, Security Registrar, Authenticating Agent or any other agent of the Company, in its individual or any
other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and, subject to TIA Sections 310(b) and 311, may otherwise
deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Paying Agent, Security Registrar, Authenticating
Agent or such other agent.





     53


     


    



Section
6.05.          Money Held in Trust.


 


Money
held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee
shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed with the Company.


 


Section
6.06.          Compensation and Reimbursement and Indemnification of Trustee.


 


The
Company agrees:


 


(1)           To pay to the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee from time to time such reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it
hereunder as has been agreed upon from time to time in writing (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law
in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust).


 


(2)           Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse each of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee upon its request for
all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee in accordance with
any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents, counsel,
accountants and experts), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its gross negligence or willful
misconduct.


 


(3)           To indemnify each of the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee and their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives
and agents, for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without gross negligence or willful
misconduct on its own part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts hereunder,
including the reasonable and documented costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented fees and expenses of its agents
and counsel) of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers
or duties hereunder (whether asserted by any Holder, the Company or other Person). The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly
of any third-party claim for which it may seek indemnity of which it has received written notice. Failure by the Trustee to so
notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder unless, and solely to the extent that, such failure
prejudices the Company’s defense of such claim. The Company shall defend the claim, with counsel satisfactory to the Trustee,
and the Trustee shall provide reasonable cooperation at the Company’s expense in the defense; provided that if the defendants
in any such claim include both the Company and the Trustee and the Trustee shall have concluded that there may be legal defenses
available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the Company, or the Trustee has concluded that there
may be any other actual or potential conflicting interests between the Company and the Trustee, the Trustee shall have the right
to select separate counsel and the Company shall be required to pay the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of such separate
counsel. Any settlement which affects the Trustee may not be entered into without the written consent of the Trustee, unless the
Trustee is given a full and unconditional release from liability with respect to the claims covered thereby and such settlement
does not include a statement or admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of the Trustee. Any settlement
by the Trustee which affects the Company may not be entered into without the written consent of the Company.





     54


     


    



As
security for the performance of the obligations of the Company under this Section 6.06, the Trustee shall have a claim
prior to the Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the
payment of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on particular Securities.


 


When
the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01 occurs, the expenses
and compensation for such services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under Title 11, U.S. Code, or any similar
Federal, State or analogous foreign law for the relief of debtors.


 


The
provisions of this Section 6.06 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the satisfaction, termination
or discharge of this Indenture.


 


Section
6.07.          Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility.


 


There
shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that shall be eligible to act as Trustee under TIA Section 310(a)(1) and shall
have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually,
pursuant to law or to the requirements of Federal, State, Territorial or the District of Columbia supervising or examining authority,
then for the purposes of this Section 6.07, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be
its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee
shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.07, it shall resign immediately in the manner
and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article VI.


 


Section
6.08.          Disqualification; Conflicting Interests.


 


If
the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either
eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture
Act and this Indenture.


 


Section
6.09.          Resignation and Removal; Appointment
of Successor.


 


(a)           No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article VI shall become
effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section
6.10. All outstanding fees, expenses and indemnities of the Trustee shall be satisfied by the Company upon resignation or
removal.


 


(b)           The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the
Company.





     55


     


    



(c)         The Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the Securities of any series by (i) the Company, by an Officers’
Certificate delivered to the Trustee, provided that contemporaneously therewith (x) the Company immediately appoints a
successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series meeting the requirements of Section 6.07 hereof and (y)
the terms of Section 6.10 hereof are complied with in respect of such appointment (the Trustee being removed hereby agreeing
to execute the instrument contemplated by Section 6.10(b) hereof, if applicable, under such circumstances), and provided
further that no Default with respect to such Securities shall have occurred and then be continuing at such time, or (ii) an
Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Trustee and
to the Company.


 


(d)         If at any time:


 


(1)           the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of TIA Section 310(b) after written request therefor by the Company
or by any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months;


 


(2)           the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 6.07 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the
Company or by any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months; or


 


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


 


then,
in any such case, (i) the Company by or pursuant to a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor Trustee
with respect to all Securities, or (ii) subject to TIA Section 315(e), any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide
Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all Securities and the appointment of a successor Trustee
or Trustees.


 


(e)         If an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving
of a notice of resignation or the delivery of an Act of removal, the Trustee resigning or being removed may petition any court
of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.


 


(f)          If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for
any cause with respect to the Securities of one or more series, the Company, by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, shall promptly
appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such
successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at any time there
shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any particular series). If, within one year after such resignation,
removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall
be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to
the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment,
become the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee
appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by
the Company or the Holders of Securities and accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, any Holder of a Security
who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others
similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to Securities
of such series.





     56


     


    



(g)           The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series
and each appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series in the manner provided for notices to
the Holders of Securities in Section 1.06. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to
the Securities of such series and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.


 


Section
6.10.          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 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 request
of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument
transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee, and shall duly assign, transfer
and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder, subject nevertheless to
its claim, if any, provided for in Section 6.06.


 


(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 that (1) shall contain
such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the
rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the
appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall
contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of
the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall
continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and (3) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall
be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood
that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each
such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered
by any other such Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the
retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Trustee, without any further act,
deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to
the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the Company
or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property
and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment
of such successor Trustee relates. Whenever there is a successor Trustee with respect to one or more (but less than all) series
of securities issued pursuant to this Indenture, the terms “Indenture” and “Securities” shall have the
meanings specified in the provisos to the respective definition of those terms in Section 1.01 which contemplate such situation.





     57


     


    



(c)           Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments necessary to 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 6.10, 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 VI.


 


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


 


Any
corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting
from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially
all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation
shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article VI, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further
act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the
Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication
and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities.
In case any Securities shall not have been authenticated by such predecessor Trustee, any such successor Trustee may authenticate
and deliver such Securities, in either its own name or that of its predecessor Trustee, with the full force and effect which this
Indenture provides for the certificate of authentication of the Trustee; provided, however, that the right to adopt the certificate
of authentication of any predecessor Trustee or to authenticate Securities in the name of any predecessor Trustee shall apply
only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation.


 


Section
6.12.          Appointment of Authenticating Agent.


 


At
any time when any of the Securities remain Outstanding, the Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents (which may be
an Affiliate or Affiliates of the Company) with respect to one or more series of Securities that shall be authorized to act on
behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series issued upon original issue or upon exchange, registration of 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. Any such appointment shall be evidenced by
an instrument in writing signed by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, a copy of which instrument shall be promptly furnished
to the Company. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or
the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf
of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating
Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and, except as may otherwise be provided pursuant to Section
3.01, shall at all times be a bank or trust company or corporation organized and doing business and in good standing under
the laws of the United States of America or of any State or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating
Agent, eligible to serve as trustee hereunder pursuant to Section 6.07. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports
of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then
for the purposes of this Section 6.12, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to
be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time an Authenticating
Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.12, such Authenticating Agent shall
resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section 6.12.





     58


     


    



Any
corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation
resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation
succeeding to the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating
Agent, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section 6.12, without the execution or filing of
any paper or further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.


 


An
Authenticating Agent for any series of Securities may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee
for such series and to the Company. The Trustee for any series of Securities may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating
Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of
resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 6.12, the Trustee for such series may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which
shall be acceptable to the Company and shall promptly give written notice of such appointment to all Holders of Securities of
the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve in the manner set forth in Section 1.06. Any successor
Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of
its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent herein. No successor Authenticating
Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section 6.12.


 


The
Company agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation including reimbursement of its reasonable
expenses for its services under this Section 6.12.





     59


     


    



If
an appointment with respect to one or more series is made pursuant to this Section 6.12, the Securities of such series
may have endorsed thereon, in addition to or in lieu of the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternate certificate
of authentication substantially in the following form:


 


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


 





	 	U.S. Bank National Association,
    as Trustee
	 	 	 
	 	By:	 
	 	 	as Authenticating Agent
	 	 	 
	 	By:	 
	 	 	Authorized Officer



 






If
all of the Securities of a series may not be originally issued at one time, and the Trustee does not have an office capable of
authenticating Securities upon original issuance located in a Place of Payment where the Company wishes to have Securities of
such series authenticated upon original issuance, the Trustee, if so requested by the Company in writing (which writing need not
comply with Section 1.02 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel), shall appoint in accordance with this Section
6.12 an Authenticating Agent (which, if so requested by the Company, shall be an Affiliate of the Company) having an office
in a Place of Payment designated by the Company with respect to such series of Securities, provided that the terms and
conditions of such appointment are acceptable to the Trustee.

Indenture, or reduce the requirements of Section 15.04 for quorum or voting; or


 


(3)           modify any of the provisions of this Section 9.02, Section 5.13 or Section 10.06, except to increase any
such percentage or to provide that certain other provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent
of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby; provided, however, that this clause shall not be deemed
to require the consent of any Holder of a Security with respect to changes in the references to “the Trustee” and
concomitant changes in this Section 9.02, or the deletion of this proviso, in accordance with the requirements of Sections
6.10(b) and 9.01(8).


 


It
shall not be necessary for any Act of Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental
indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof.

COVENANTS


 


Section
10.01.        Payment of Principal, Premium, if any, and Interest.


 


The
Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Holders of each series of Securities that it will duly and punctually pay
the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest, if any, on the Securities of that series in accordance with the terms
of such series of Securities and this Indenture. Unless otherwise specified with respect to Securities of any series pursuant
to Section 3.01, at the option of the Company, all payments of principal may be paid by check to the registered Holder
of the Registered Security or other person entitled thereto against surrender of such Security.





     66


     


    



Section
10.02.        Maintenance of Office or Agency.


 


The
Company shall maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of Securities an office or agency where Securities of that series
may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Securities of that series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange, where Securities of that series that are convertible or exchangeable may be surrendered for conversion or exchange,
as applicable, and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture
may be served. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of
each such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency in respect of
any series of Securities or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices
and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee at
its Corporate Trust Office as its agent to receive such respective presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.


 


The
Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Securities of one or more series
may be presented or surrendered for any or all of such purposes, and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided,
however that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office
or agency in accordance with the requirements set forth above for Securities of any series for such purposes. The Company will
give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such
other office or agency. Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Securities pursuant to Section 3.01 with respect
to a series of Securities, the Company hereby designates as a Place of Payment for each series of Securities the office or agency
of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and initially appoints the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office
in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.


 


Unless
otherwise specified with respect to any Securities pursuant to Section 3.01, if and so long as the Securities of any series
(i) are denominated in a currency other than Dollars or (ii) may be payable in a currency other than Dollars, or so long as it
is required under any other provision of the Indenture, then the Company will maintain with respect to each such series of Securities,
or as so required, at least one Exchange Rate Agent.


 


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


 


If
the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect to any series of any Securities, it will, on or before
each due date of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on any of the Securities of that series, segregate
and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum in the Currency in which the Securities of such series
are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01 for the Securities of such series and except, if applicable,
as provided in Sections 3.12(b), 3.12(d) and 3.12(e)), sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any)
and interest, if any, on Securities of such series so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise
disposed of as herein provided, and will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.





     67


     


    



Whenever
the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of Securities, it will, on or before each due date of the principal
of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on any Securities of that series, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum (in the Currency
or Currencies described in the preceding paragraph) sufficient to pay the principal (or premium, if any) or interest, if any,
so becoming due, such sum of money to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal, premium or interest
and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.


 


The
Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose,
pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums of money held in trust by the Company or such
Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Company
or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all
further liability with respect to such sums.


 


Except
as otherwise provided in the Securities of any series, any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held
by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on any Security of any
series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium or interest has become due and payable shall be paid
to the Company upon Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such
Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of
the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such money held in trust, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof,
shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any
such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in an Authorized Newspaper, notice that such money
remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication,
any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.


 


Section
10.04.        Additional Amounts.


 


If
the Securities of a series provide for the payment of Additional Amounts, the Company will pay to the Holder of any Security of
such series such Additional Amounts as may be specified as contemplated by Section 3.01. Whenever in this Indenture there
is mentioned, in any context, the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on any Security of any
series or the net proceeds received on the sale or exchange of any Security of any series, such mention shall be deemed to include
mention of the payment of Additional Amounts provided for by the terms of such series established pursuant to Section 3.01
to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to such
terms and express mention of the payment of Additional Amounts (if applicable) in any provisions hereof shall not be construed
as excluding Additional Amounts in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made.





     68


     


    



Except
as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01, if the Securities of a series provide for the payment of Additional
Amounts, at least 10 days prior to the first Interest Payment Date with respect to that series of Securities (or if the Securities
of that series will not bear interest prior to Maturity, the first day on which a payment of principal premium is made), and at
least 10 days prior to each date of payment of principal, premium or interest if there has been any change with respect to the
matters set forth in the below-mentioned Officers’ Certificate, the Company will furnish the Trustee and the Company’s
principal Paying Agent or Paying Agents, if other than the Trustee, with an Officers’ Certificate instructing the Trustee
and such Paying Agent or Paying Agents whether such payment of principal, premium or interest on the Securities of that series
shall be made to Holders of Securities of that series who are not United States persons without withholding for or on account
of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge described in the Securities of that series. If any such withholding shall
be required, then such Officers’ Certificate shall specify by country the amount, if any, required to be withheld on such
payments to such Holders of Securities of that series and the Company will pay to the Trustee or such Paying Agent the Additional
Amounts required by the terms of such Securities. In the event that the Trustee or any Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall
not so receive the above-mentioned certificate, then the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall be entitled (i) to assume that no
such withholding or deduction is required with respect to any payment of principal or interest with respect to any Securities
of a series until it shall have received a certificate advising otherwise and (ii) to make all payments of principal and interest
with respect to the Securities of a series without withholding or deductions until otherwise advised. The Company covenants to
indemnify the Trustee and any Paying Agent for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense reasonably incurred
without gross negligence or willful misconduct on their part arising out of or in connection with actions taken or omitted by
any of them in reliance on any Officers’ Certificate furnished pursuant to this Section 10.04 or in reliance on the
Company’s not furnishing such an Officers’ Certificate.


 


Section
10.05.       Statement as to Compliance.


 


(1)          The Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year ending after the date hereof (which
fiscal year ends on December 31), so long as any Security is Outstanding hereunder, a brief certificate from the principal executive
officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer of the Company as to his or her knowledge of the Company’s
compliance with all conditions and covenants under this Indenture. For purposes of this Section 10.05, such compliance
shall be determined without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice under this Indenture.


 


(2)          The Company will, so long as any series of Securities are Outstanding, deliver to the Trustee, within 5 Business Days of any officer
listed in (1) above becoming aware of any Default, Event of Default or default in the performance of any covenant, agreement or
condition contained in this Indenture, an Officers’ Certificate specifying such Default, Event of Default, default or event
of default and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto and the status thereof.





     69


     


    



Section
10.06.       Waiver of Certain Covenants.


 


As
specified pursuant to Section 3.01(15), for Securities of any series, the Company may omit in any particular instance to
comply with any covenant or condition set forth in any covenants of the Company added to Article X pursuant to Section
3.01(14) or Section 3.01(15) in connection with the Securities of a series, if before or after the time for such compliance
the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of all Outstanding Securities of such series, by Act of such
Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such covenant or condition, but no such
waiver shall extend to or affect such covenant or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall
become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such covenant or condition shall
remain in full force and effect.


 


Article
XI



REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES


 


Section
11.01.        Applicability of Article.


 


Securities
of any series that are redeemable before their Stated Maturity shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms and (except
as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for Securities of any series) in accordance with this Article
XI.


 


Section
11.02.       Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee.


 


The
election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by or pursuant to a Board Resolution. In case of any redemption
at the election of the Company of less than all of the Securities of any series, the Company shall, at least 60 days prior to
the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), an Officers’ Certificate
notifying the Trustee in writing of such Redemption Date and of the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed,
and, if applicable, of the tenor of the Securities to be redeemed, and shall deliver to the Trustee such documentation and records
as shall enable the Trustee to select the Securities to be redeemed pursuant to Section 11.03. In the case of any redemption
of Securities of any series prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities
or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate evidencing compliance
with such restriction.


 


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


 


If
less than all the Securities of any series issued on the same day with the same terms are to be redeemed, the particular Securities
to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee in compliance with the requirements
of DTC, from the Outstanding Securities of such series issued on such date with the same terms not previously called for redemption,
in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which the Securities are listed (if the Securities
are listed on any national securities exchange), or if the Securities are not held through DTC or listed on any national securities
exchange, or DTC prescribed no method of selection, on a pro rata basis, or by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and
appropriate and subject to and otherwise in accordance with the procedures of the applicable Depository; provided that such method
complies with the rules of any national securities exchange or quotation system on which the Securities are listed, and may provide
for the selection for redemption of portions (equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that series or any
integral multiple thereof) of the principal amount of Securities of such series of a denomination larger than the minimum authorized
denomination for Securities of that series; provided, however, that no such partial redemption shall reduce the
portion of the principal amount of a Security not redeemed to less than the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of
such series.





     70


     


    



The
Trustee shall promptly notify the Company and the Security Registrar (if other than itself) in writing of the Securities selected
for redemption and, in the case of any Securities selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.


 


For
all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities
shall relate, in the case of any Security redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such
Security which has been or is to be redeemed.


 


Section
11.04.       Notice of Redemption.


 


Notice
of redemption shall be given in the manner provided in Section 1.06, not less than 15 days nor more than 60 days prior
to the Redemption Date, unless a shorter period is specified by the terms of such series established pursuant to Section 3.01,
to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, but failure to give such notice in the manner herein provided to the Holder of any
Security designated for redemption as a whole or in part, or any defect in the notice to any such Holder, shall not affect the
validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other such Security or portion thereof.


 


Any
notice that is mailed to the Holders of Registered Securities in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to
have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives the notice.


 


All
notices of redemption shall state:


 


(1)           the Redemption Date,


 


(2)           the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date payable as provided in Section 11.06,


 


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


 


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





     71


     


    



(5)           that on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date payable as provided in
Section 11.06 will become due and payable upon each such Security, or the portion thereof, to be redeemed and, if applicable,
that interest thereon shall cease to accrue on and after said date,


 


(6)           the Place or Places of Payment where such Securities, are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest,
if any,


 


(7)           that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case, and


 


(8)           the CUSIP number of such Security, if any.


 


A
notice of redemption published as contemplated by Section 1.06 need not identify particular Registered Securities to be
redeemed. Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed shall be given by the Company or, at the Company’s request,
by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company.


 


Section
11.05.       Deposit of Redemption Price.


 


On
or prior to 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying
Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, which it may not do in the case of a sinking fund payment under Article
XII, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 10.03) an amount of money in the Currency in which the Securities
of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01 for the Securities of such series
and except, if applicable, as provided in Sections 3.12(b), 3.12(d) and 3.12(e)) sufficient to pay on the
Redemption Date the Redemption Price of, and (unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01) accrued interest on,
all the Securities or portions thereof which are to be redeemed on that date; provided, however, that to the extent any such funds
are received by the Trustee or a Paying Agent from the Company after 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on the due date, such funds
will be deemed deposited within one Business Day of receipt thereof.


 


Section
11.06.       Securities Payable on Redemption Date.


 


Notice
of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable
at the Redemption Price therein specified in the Currency in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise
specified pursuant to Section 3.01 for the Securities of such series and except, if applicable, as provided in Sections
3.12(b), 3.12(d) and 3.12(e)) (together with accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date), and from and
after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any) such Securities
shall if the same were interest-bearing cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in accordance
with said notice, such Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest, if any,
to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01,
installments of interest on Registered Securities whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable
to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant
Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 3.07.





     72


     


    



If
any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the Redemption Price shall, until
paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate of interest set forth in such Security or, in the case of an Original
Issue Discount Security, at the Yield to Maturity of such Security.


 


Section
11.07.       Securities Redeemed in Part.


 


Any
Registered Security that is to be redeemed only in part (pursuant to the provisions of this Article XI or of Article
XII) shall be surrendered at a Place of Payment therefor (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement
by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof
or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing) and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver to the Holder of such Security at the expense of the Company and without service charge a new Security or Securities of
the same series and of like tenor, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder in aggregate principal amount equal
to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered. If a temporary global Security
or permanent global Security is so surrendered, such new Security so issued shall be a new temporary global Security or permanent
global Security, respectively. However, if less than all the Securities of any series with differing issue dates, interest rates
and stated maturities are to be redeemed, the Company in its sole discretion shall select the particular Securities to be redeemed
and shall notify the Trustee in writing thereof at least 45 days prior to the relevant redemption date.


 


Article
XII



SINKING FUNDS


 


Section
12.01.       Applicability of Article.


 


The
provisions of this Article XII shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of a series except
as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for Securities of such series.


 


The
minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as a “mandatory
sinking fund payment”, and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of such Securities of
any series is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment”. If provided for by the terms of any Securities
of any series, the cash amount of any mandatory sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 12.02.
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.





     73


     


    



Section
12.02.        Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities.


 


The
Company may, at its option, in satisfaction of all or any part of any mandatory sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities
of a series, (1) deliver Outstanding Securities of such series (other than any previously called for redemption) and (2) apply
as a credit Securities of such series which have been redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of
such Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Securities,
as provided for by the terms of such Securities; provided that such Securities so delivered or applied as a credit have
not been previously so credited. Such Securities shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the applicable
Redemption Price specified in such Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such mandatory
sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly.


 


Section
12.03.        Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund.


 


Not
less than 60 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for Securities of any series, the Company will deliver to the Trustee
an Officers’ Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment for that series pursuant
to the terms of that series, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash in the Currency in which
the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01 for the Securities of
such series and except, if applicable, as provided in Sections 3.12(b), 3.12(d) and 3.12(e)) and the portion
thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities of that series pursuant to Section 12.02,
and the optional amount, if any, to be added in cash to the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, and will also deliver
to the Trustee any Securities to be so delivered and credited. If such Officers’ Certificate shall specify an optional amount
to be added in cash to the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, the Company shall thereupon be obligated to pay the amount
therein specified. Not less than 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 11.03 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 11.04. Such notice
having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections
11.06 and 11.07.


 


Article
XIII



REPAYMENT AT THE OPTION OF HOLDERS


 


Section
13.01.        Applicability of Article.


 


Repayment
of Securities of any series before their Stated Maturity at the option of Holders thereof shall be made in accordance with the
terms of such Securities and (except as otherwise specified by the terms of such series established pursuant to Section 3.01)
in accordance with this Article XIII.





     74


     


    



Section
13.02.        Repayment of Securities.


 


Securities
of any series subject to repayment in whole or in part at the option of the Holders thereof will, unless otherwise provided in
the terms of such Securities, be repaid at the Repayment Price thereof, together with interest, if any, thereon accrued to the
Repayment Date specified in or pursuant to the terms of such Securities. The Company covenants that on or before 12:00 p.m., New
York City time, on the Repayment Date it will deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as
its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 10.03) an amount of money in the Currency in which
the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01 for the Securities of
such series and except, if applicable, as provided in Sections 3.12(b), 3.12(d) and 3.12(e)) sufficient to
pay the Repayment Price of, and (unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01) accrued interest on, all the Securities
or portions thereof, as the case may be, to be repaid on such date; provided, however, that to the extent any such funds are received
by the Trustee or a Paying Agent from the Company after 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on the due date, such funds will be distributed
to the Holders within one Business Day of receipt thereof.


 


Section
13.03.        Exercise of Option.


 


Securities
of any series subject to repayment at the option of the Holders thereof will contain an “Option to Elect Repayment”
form on the reverse of such Securities. To be repaid at the option of the Holder, any Security so providing for such repayment,
with the “Option to Elect Repayment” form on the reverse of such Security duly completed by the Holder (or by the
Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing), must be received by the Company at the Place of Payment therefor specified
in the terms of such Security (or at such other place or places of which the Company shall from time to time notify the Holders
of such Securities) not earlier than 45 days nor later than 30 days prior to the Repayment Date. If less than the entire Repayment
Price of such Security is to be repaid in accordance with the terms of such Security, the portion of the Repayment Price of such
Security to be repaid, in increments of the minimum denomination for Securities of such series, and the denomination or denominations
of the Security or Securities to be issued to the Holder for the portion of such Security surrendered that is not to be repaid,
must be specified. Any Security providing for repayment at the option of the Holder thereof may not be repaid in part if, following
such repayment, the unpaid principal amount of such Security would be less than the minimum authorized denomination of Securities
of the series of which such Security to be repaid is a part. Except as otherwise may be provided by the terms of any Security
providing for repayment at the option of the Holder thereof, exercise of the repayment option by the Holder shall be irrevocable
unless waived by the Company.


 


Section
13.04.        When Securities Presented for Repayment Become Due and Payable.


 


If
Securities of any series providing for repayment at the option of the Holders thereof shall have been surrendered as provided
in this Article XIII and as provided by or pursuant to the terms of such Securities, such Securities or the portions thereof,
as the case may be, to be repaid shall become due and payable and shall be paid by the Company on the Repayment Date therein specified,
and on and after such Repayment Date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of such Securities on such Repayment Date)
such Securities shall, if the same were interest-bearing, cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Security for repayment
in accordance with such provisions, the Repayment Price of such Security so to be repaid shall be paid by the Company, together
with accrued interest, if any, to the Repayment Date; provided, however, that installments of interest on Registered
Securities, whose Stated Maturity is prior to (or, if specified pursuant to Section 3.01, on) the Repayment Date shall
be payable (but without interest thereon, unless the Company shall default in the payment thereof) to the Holders of such Securities,
or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates according to their
terms and the provisions of Section 3.07.





     75


     


    



If
any Security surrendered for repayment shall not be so repaid upon surrender thereof, the Repayment Price shall, until paid, bear
interest from the Repayment Date at the rate of interest set forth in such Security or, in the case of an Original Issue Discount
Security, at the Yield to Maturity of such Security.


 


Section
13.05.        Securities Repaid in Part.


 


Upon
surrender of any Registered Security that is to be repaid in part only, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver to the Holder of such Security, without service charge and at the expense of the Company, a new Registered Security
or Securities of the same series, and of like tenor, of any authorized denomination specified by the Holder, in an aggregate principal
amount equal to and in exchange for the portion of the principal of such Security so surrendered that is not to be repaid. If
a temporary global Security or permanent global Security is so surrendered, such new Security so issued shall be a new temporary
global Security or a new permanent global Security, respectively.


 


Article
XIV



DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE


 


Section
14.01.        Applicability of Article; Company’s Option to Effect
Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.


 


If
pursuant to Section 3.01 provision is made for either or both of (a) defeasance of the Securities of or within a series
under Section 14.02 or (b) covenant defeasance of the Securities of or within a series under Section 14.03, then
the provisions of such Section or Sections, as the case may be, together with the other provisions of this Article XIV
(with such modifications thereto as may be specified pursuant to Section 3.01 with respect to any Securities), shall be
applicable to such Securities, and the Company may at its option by Board Resolution, at any time, with respect to such Securities,
elect to have either Section 14.02 (if applicable) or Section 14.03 (if applicable) be applied to such Outstanding
Securities upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article XIV.


 

Section
14.02.        Defeasance and Discharge.


 


Upon
the Company’s exercise of the above option applicable to this Section 14.02 with respect to any Securities of or
within a series, the Company shall be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to such Outstanding Securities
on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 14.04 are satisfied (hereinafter, “defeasance”).
For this purpose, such defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented
by such Outstanding Securities, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “Outstanding” only for the purposes of Section
14.05 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (A) and (B) of this Section 14.02, and to have
satisfied all its other obligations under such Securities and this Indenture insofar as such Securities are concerned (and the
Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following which
shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (A) the rights of Holders of such Outstanding Securities to
receive, solely from the trust fund described in Section 14.04 and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in
respect of the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest, if any, on such Securities when such payments are due, (B)
the Company’s obligations with respect to such Securities under Sections 3.05, 3.06, 10.02 and 10.03
and with respect to the payment of Additional Amounts, if any, on such Securities as contemplated by Section 10.04,
(C) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and (D) this Article XIV. Subject to compliance
with this Article XIV, the Company may exercise its option under this Section 14.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise
of its option under Section 14.03 with respect to such Securities. Following a defeasance, payment of such Securities may
not be accelerated because of an Event of Default.





     76


     


    





Section
14.03.        Covenant Defeasance.


 


Upon
the Company’s exercise of the above option applicable to this Section 14.03 with respect to any Securities of or
within a series, if specified pursuant to Section 3.01, the Company shall be released from its obligations under any covenant,
with respect to such Outstanding Securities on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 14.04 are satisfied
(hereinafter, “covenant defeasance”), and such Securities shall thereafter be deemed to be not “Outstanding”
for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or Act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection
with such covenant, but shall continue to be deemed “Outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder. For this purpose,
such covenant defeasance means that, with respect to such Outstanding Securities, the Company may omit to comply with and shall
have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such Section or such other covenant, whether
directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or such other covenant or by reason of
reference in any such Section or such other covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission
to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 5.01(4) or 5.01(8) or otherwise, as the case
may be, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities shall be unaffected thereby. Following
a covenant defeasance, payment of such Securities may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default solely by reference to
such Sections specified above in this Section 14.03.





     77


     


    



Section
14.04.        Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.


 


The
following shall be the conditions to application of either Section 14.02 or Section 14.03 to any Outstanding Securities
of or within a series:


 


(a)           The Company shall have irrevocably deposited or caused to be irrevocably deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee satisfying
the requirements of Section 6.07 who shall agree to comply with the provisions of this Article XIV applicable to
it) as trust funds in trust for the purpose of making the following payments, specifically pledged as security for the benefit
of, and dedicated solely to, the Holders of such Securities, (1) an amount (in such Currency in which such Securities are then
specified as payable at Stated Maturity), or (2) Government Obligations applicable to such Securities (determined on the basis
of the Currency in which such Securities are then specified as payable at Stated Maturity) which through the scheduled payment
of principal and interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than one day before the due
date of any payment of principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest, if any, on such Securities, money in an amount, or
(3) a combination thereof in an amount, sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants
expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge, and which shall be applied by the
Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) to pay and discharge, (i) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest, if any,
on such Outstanding Securities on the Stated Maturity of such principal or installment of principal or interest and (ii) any mandatory
sinking fund payments or analogous payments applicable to such Outstanding Securities on the day on which such payments are due
and payable in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and of such Securities.


 


(b)           Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, this Indenture
or any other material agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound.


 


(c)           No Default or Event of Default with respect to such Securities shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit
or, insofar as Sections 5.01(5) and 5.01(6) are concerned, at any time during the period ending on the 91st day
after the date of such deposit (it being understood that this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until the expiration of
such period).


 


(d)           In the case of an election under Section 14.02, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating
that (i) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (ii) since the
date of execution of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law, in either case to the effect
that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders of such Outstanding Securities will not recognize income,
gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same
amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such defeasance had not occurred.


 


(e)           In the case of an election under Section 14.03, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to
the effect that the Holders of such Outstanding Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes
as a result of such covenant defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and
at the same times as would have been the case if such covenant defeasance had not occurred.





     78


     


    



(f)            The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all
conditions precedent to either the defeasance under Section 14.02 or the covenant defeasance under Section 14.03
(as the case may be) have been complied with.


 


(g)           Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 14.04, such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall be effected in
compliance with any additional or substitute terms, conditions or limitations which may be imposed on the Company in connection
therewith pursuant to Section 3.01.


 


Section
14.05.        Deposited Money and Government Obligations to Be Held in Trust;
Other Miscellaneous Provisions.


 


Subject
to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 10.03, all money and Government Obligations (or other property as may
be provided pursuant to Section 3.01) (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying
trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 14.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 14.04 in
respect of any Outstanding Securities of any series shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the
provisions of such Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company
acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Securities of all sums due and to become
due thereon in respect of principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, but such money need not be segregated from other
funds except to the extent required by law.


 


Unless
otherwise specified with respect to any Security pursuant to Section 3.01, if, after a deposit referred to in Section
14.04(a) has been made, (a) the Holder of a Security in respect of which such deposit was made is entitled to, and does, elect
pursuant to Section 3.12(b) or the terms of such Security to receive payment in a Currency other than that in which the
deposit pursuant to Section 14.04(a) has been made in respect of such Security, or (b) a Conversion Event occurs as contemplated
in Section 3.12(d) or 3.12(e) or by the terms of any Security in respect of which the deposit pursuant to Section
14.04(a) has been made, the indebtedness represented by such Security shall be deemed to have been, and will be, fully discharged
and satisfied through the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest, if any, on such Security as the
same becomes due out of the proceeds yielded by converting (from time to time as specified below in the case of any such election)
the amount or other property deposited in respect of such Security into the Currency in which such Security becomes payable as
a result of such election or Conversion Event based on the applicable Market Exchange Rate for such Currency in effect on the
second Business Day prior to each payment date, except, with respect to a Conversion Event, such conversion shall be based on
the applicable Market Exchange Rate for such Currency in effect (as nearly as feasible) at the time of the Conversion Event.


 


The
Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the money or Government
Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 14.04 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any
such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of such Outstanding Securities.





     79


     


    



Anything
in this Article XIV to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time
upon Company Request any money or Government Obligations (or other property and any proceeds therefrom) held by it as provided
in Section 14.04 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed
in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required
to be deposited to effect a defeasance or covenant defeasance, as applicable, in accordance with this Article XIV.

Meetings.


 


(a)           Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee may make such reasonable regulations as it may deem advisable
for any meeting of Holders of Securities of a series in regard to proof of the holding of Securities of such series and of the
appointment of proxies and in regard to the appointment and duties of inspectors of votes, the submission and examination of proxies,
certificates and other evidence of the right to vote, and such other matters concerning the conduct of the meeting as it shall
deem appropriate. Except as otherwise permitted or required by any such regulations, the holding of Securities shall be proved
in the manner specified in Section 1.04 and the appointment of any proxy shall be proved in the manner specified in Section
1.04. Such regulations may provide that written instruments appointing proxies, regular on their face, may be presumed valid
and genuine without the proof specified in Section 1.04 or other proof.


 


(b)           The Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing appoint a temporary chairman of the meeting, unless the meeting shall have been
called by the Company or by Holders of Securities as provided in Section 15.02(b), in which case the Company or the Holders
of Securities of the series calling the meeting, as the case may be, shall in like manner appoint a temporary chairman. A permanent
chairman and a permanent secretary of the meeting shall be elected by vote of the Persons entitled to vote a majority in principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series represented at the meeting.


 


(c)           At any meeting of Holders, each Holder of a Security of such series or proxy shall be entitled to one vote for each $1,000 principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series held or represented by such Holder; provided, however, that
no vote shall be cast or counted at any meeting in respect of any Security challenged as not Outstanding and ruled by the chairman
of the meeting to be not Outstanding. The chairman of the meeting shall have no right to vote, except as a Holder of a Security
of such series or proxy.


 


(d)           Any meeting of Holders of Securities of any series duly called pursuant to Section 15.02 at which a quorum is present
may be adjourned from time to time by Persons entitled to vote a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of
such series represented at the meeting, and the meeting may be held as so adjourned without further notice.


 


Section
15.06.        Counting Votes and Recording Action of Meetings.


 


The
vote upon any resolution submitted to any meeting of Holders of Securities of any series shall be by written ballots on which
shall be subscribed the signatures of the Holders of Securities of such series or of their representatives by proxy and the principal
amounts and serial numbers of the Outstanding Securities of such series held or represented by them. The permanent chairman of
the meeting shall appoint two inspectors of votes who shall count all votes cast at the meeting for or against any resolution
and who shall make and file with the secretary of the meeting their verified written reports in duplicate of all votes cast at
the meeting. A record, at least in duplicate, of the proceedings of each meeting of Holders of Securities of any Series shall
be prepared by the secretary of the meeting and there shall be attached to said record the original reports of the inspectors
of votes on any vote by ballot taken thereat and affidavits by one or more persons having knowledge of the fact, setting forth
a copy of the notice of the meeting and showing that said notice was given as provided in Section 15.02 and, if applicable,
Section 15.04. Each copy shall be signed and verified by the affidavits of the permanent chairman and secretary of
the meeting and one such copy shall be delivered to the Company and another to the Trustee to be preserved by the Trustee for
a period of five (5) years, the latter to have attached thereto the ballots voted at the meeting. Any record so signed and verified
shall be conclusive evidence of the matters therein stated.

Article
XVI



SUBORDINATION OF SECURITIES


 


Section
16.01.        Agreement to Subordinate.


 


The
Company, for itself, its successors and assigns, covenants and agrees, and each Holder of Subordinated Securities by his acceptance
thereof, likewise covenants and agrees, that the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on each
and all of the Subordinated Securities is hereby expressly subordinated, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth,
in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness.


 


Section
16.02.        Distribution on Dissolution, Liquidation and Reorganization;
Subrogation of Subordinated Securities.


 


Upon
any distribution of assets of the Company upon any dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization of the Company, whether
in bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or receivership proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or any
other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of the Company or otherwise (subject to the power of a court of competent jurisdiction
to make other equitable provision reflecting the rights conferred in this Indenture upon the Senior Indebtedness and the holders
thereof with respect to the Securities and the holders thereof by a lawful plan of reorganization under applicable bankruptcy
law):


 


(a)           the holders of all Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled to receive payment in full of the principal thereof (and premium, if
any) and interest due thereon (including post-petition interest) before the Holders of the Subordinated Securities are entitled
to receive any payment upon the principal (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on indebtedness evidenced by the Subordinated
Securities; and





     83


     


    



(b)           any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to which
the Holders of the Securities or the Trustee would be entitled except for the provisions of this Article XVI shall be paid
by the liquidating trustee or agent or other person making such payment or distribution, whether a trustee in bankruptcy, a receiver
or liquidating trustee or otherwise, directly to the holders of Senior Indebtedness or their representative or representatives
or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture under which any instruments evidencing any of such Senior Indebtedness may have
been issued, ratably according to the aggregate amounts remaining unpaid on account of the principal of (and premium, if any)
and interest on the Senior Indebtedness held or represented by each, to the extent necessary to make payment in full of all Senior
Indebtedness remaining unpaid, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness;
and


 


(c)           in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character,
whether in cash, property or securities, shall be received by the Trustee or the Holders of the Subordinated Securities before
all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full, such payment or distribution shall be paid over, upon written notice to the Trustee,
to the holder of such Senior Indebtedness or their representative or representatives or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture
under which any instrument evidencing any of such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, ratably as aforesaid, for application
to payment of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid until all such Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full, after
giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness.


 


Subject
to the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness, the Holders of the Subordinated Securities shall be subrogated to the rights
of the holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions of cash, property or securities of the Company applicable
to Senior Indebtedness until the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest, if any, on the Subordinated Securities shall
be paid in full and no such payments or distributions to the Holders of the Subordinated Securities of cash, property or securities
otherwise distributable to the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall, as between the Company, its creditors other than the holders
of Senior Indebtedness, and the Holders of the Subordinated Securities be deemed to be a payment by the Company to or on account
of the Subordinated Securities. It is understood that the provisions of this Article XVI are and are intended solely for
the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Holders of the Subordinated Securities, on the one hand, and the holders of
the Senior Indebtedness, on the other hand. Nothing contained in this Article XVI or elsewhere in this Indenture or in
the Subordinated Securities is intended to or shall impair, as between the Company, its creditors other than the holders of Senior
Indebtedness, and the Holders of the Subordinated Securities, the obligation of the Company, which is unconditional and absolute,
to pay to the Holders of the Subordinated Securities the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on the Subordinated
Securities as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or to affect the relative rights
of the Holders of the Subordinated Securities and creditors of the Company other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, nor
shall anything herein or in the Subordinated Securities prevent the Trustee or the Holder of any Subordinated Security from exercising
all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this
Article XVI of the holders of Senior Indebtedness in respect of cash, property or securities of the Company received upon
the exercise of any such remedy. Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article XVI,
the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 6.01, shall be entitled to rely upon a certificate of the liquidating
trustee or agent or other person making any distribution to the Trustee for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to
participate in such distribution, the holders of Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof
or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article
XVI.





     84


     


    



If
the Trustee or any Holder of Subordinated Securities does not file a proper claim or proof of debt in the form required in any
proceeding referred to above prior to 30 days before the expiration of the time to file such claim in such proceeding, then the
holder of any Senior Indebtedness is hereby authorized, and has the right, to file an appropriate claim or claims for or on behalf
of such Holder of Subordinated Securities.


 


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


 


Section
16.03.       No Payment on Subordinated Securities in Event of Default on
Senior Indebtedness.


 


No
payment by the Company on account of principal (or premium, if any), sinking funds or interest, if any, on the Subordinated Securities
shall be made unless full payment of amounts then due for principal (premium, if any), sinking funds and interest on Senior Indebtedness
has been made or duly provided for in money or money’s worth.


 


Section
16.04.        Payments on Subordinated Securities Permitted.


 


Nothing
contained in this Indenture or in any of the Subordinated Securities shall (a) affect the obligation of the Company to make, or
prevent the Company from making, at any time except as provided in Sections 16.02 and 16.03, payments of principal
of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on the Subordinated Securities, (b) without limiting clause (c) of this sentence,
prevent the application by the Trustee of any moneys deposited with it hereunder to the payment of or on account of the principal
of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on the Subordinated Securities, unless the Trustee shall have received at its Corporate
Trust Office written notice of any event prohibiting the making of such payment more than three Business Days prior to the date
fixed for such payment or (c) prevent the application by the Trustee of any moneys or the proceeds of Government Obligations deposited
with it pursuant to Section 14.04(a) to the payment of or on account of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) or interest,
if any, on the Subordinated Securities if all the conditions specified in Section 14.04 to the application of Section
14.02 or Section 14.03, as applicable, have been satisfied prior to the date the Trustee shall have received at its
Corporate Trust Office written notice of any event prohibiting the making of such payment.





     85


     


    



Section
16.05.        Authorization of Holders to Trustee to Effect Subordination.


 


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


 


Section
16.06.        Notices to Trustee.


 


Notwithstanding
the provisions of this Article XVI or any other provisions of this Indenture, neither the Trustee nor any Paying Agent
(other than the Company) shall be charged with knowledge of the existence of any Senior Indebtedness or of any event that would
prohibit the making of any payment of moneys to or by the Trustee or such Paying Agent, unless and until the Trustee or such Paying
Agent shall have received (in the case of the Trustee, at its Corporate Trust Office) written notice thereof from the Company
or from the holder of any Senior Indebtedness or from the trustee for any such holder, together with proof satisfactory to the
Trustee of such holding of Senior Indebtedness or of the authority of such trustee; provided, however, that if at least three
Business Days prior to the date upon which by the terms hereof any such moneys may become payable for any purpose (including,
without limitation, the payment of either the principal (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on any Subordinated Security)
the Trustee shall not have received with respect to such moneys the notice provided for in this Section 16.06, then, anything
herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such moneys and to
apply the same to the purpose for which they were received, and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary, which may
be received by it within three Business Days prior to such date. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the delivery to it of
a written notice by a Person representing himself to be a holder of Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee on behalf of such holder)
to establish that such a notice has been given by a holder of Senior Indebtedness or a trustee on behalf of any such holder. In
the event that the Trustee determines in good faith that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person
as a holder of Senior Indebtedness to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article XVI, the Trustee
may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Senior Indebtedness
held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and any other
facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article XVI and, if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee
may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment.


 


Section
16.07.        Trustee as Holder of Senior Indebtedness.


 


The
Trustee in its individual capacity shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article XVI in respect of any
Senior Indebtedness at any time held by it to the same extent as any other holder of Senior Indebtedness and nothing in this Indenture
shall be construed to deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder.


 


Nothing
in this Article XVI shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 6.06.





     86


     


    



Section
16.08.        Modifications of Terms of Senior Indebtedness.


 


Any
renewal or extension of the time of payment of any Senior Indebtedness or the exercise by the holders of Senior Indebtedness of
any of their rights under any instrument creating or evidencing Senior Indebtedness, including, without limitation, the waiver
of default thereunder, may be made or done all without notice to or assent from the Holders of the Subordinated Securities or
the Trustee.


 


No
compromise, alteration, amendment, modification, extension, renewal or other change of, or waiver, consent or other action in
respect of, any liability or obligation under or in respect of, or of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of any indenture
or other instrument under which any Senior Indebtedness is outstanding or of such Senior Indebtedness, whether or not any of the
foregoing are in accordance with the provisions of any applicable document, shall in any way alter or affect any of the provisions
of this Article XVI or of the Subordinated Securities relating to the subordination thereof.


 


Section
16.09.        Reliance on Judicial Order or Certificate of Liquidating Agent.


 


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