Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, a Holder, including a Depositary that (or whose nominee) is a Holder of a Global Security, may make, give, or take,
by a proxy or proxies, duly appointed in writing, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver, or other action
provided or permitted in this Indenture to be made, given, or taken by Holders, and a Depositary that (or whose nominee) is a Holder of
a Global Security may provide its proxy or proxies to the beneficial owners of interests in any such Global Security.


(b)
The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness
of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying
that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him its execution. 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 manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.

The Company may fix any day as the record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Securities of any series entitled
to give or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver, or other action, or to vote on any action, authorized,
or permitted to be given or taken by Holders of Securities of such series. If not set by the Company prior to the first solicitation of
a Holder of Securities of such series made by any Person in respect of any such action, or, in the case of any such vote, prior to such
vote, the record date for any such action or vote shall be the 30th day (or, if later, the date of the most recent list of Holders required
to be provided pursuant to Section 7.1) prior to such first solicitation or vote, as the case may be. With regard to any record date for
action to be taken by the Holders of one or more series of Securities, only the Holders of Securities of such series on such date (or
their duly designated proxies) shall be entitled to give, take, or vote on the relevant action.


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


(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 of, in exchange for, or in
lieu of such Security in respect of anything done, omitted, or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Company in reliance on such action,
whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security.


(f)
Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled to give or take any action under this Indenture with regard to any particular
Security may do so with regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such Security or by one or more duly appointed agents each
of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any different part of such principal amount.


Section 1.5
Notices, Etc. to Trustee and Company.


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


(1)
the Trustee by any Holder or by the Company shall be sufficient for every purpose under this Indenture if made, given, furnished,
or filed in writing to or with the Trustee at , or


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

The Trustee shall have the
right, but shall not be required, to rely upon and comply with notices, instructions, directions or other communications sent by e-mail,
facsimile and other similar unsecured electronic methods by persons believed by the Trustee to be authorized to give instructions and
directions on behalf of the Company. The Trustee shall have no duty or obligation to verify or confirm that the person who sent such instructions
or directions is, in fact, a person authorized to give instructions or directions on behalf of the Company; and the Trustee shall have
no liability for any losses, liabilities, costs or expenses incurred or sustained by the Company as a result of such reliance upon or
compliance with such notices, instructions, directions or other communications. The Company agrees to assume all risks arising out of
the use of such electronic methods to submit notices, instructions, directions or other communications to the Trustee, including without
limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties. The
Company shall use all reasonable endeavors to ensure that any such notices, instructions, directions or other communications transmitted
to the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture are complete and correct. Any such notices, instructions, directions or other communications
shall be conclusively deemed to be valid instructions from the Company to the Trustee for the purposes of this Indenture.


Section 1.6
Notice to Holders; Waiver.


Where this Indenture provides
for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise expressly provided in this Indenture) if
in writing and (i) mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at his address as it appears in the Security
Register, or (ii) in the event that a Depositary (or a nominee thereof) is a Holder of Securities issued in the form of Global Securities,
then with respect to such Securities given by electronic, email or other means as such be acceptable to such Depositary, in all cases,
not later than the latest date (if any), and not earlier than the earliest date (if any), prescribed for the giving of such notice. In
any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to
any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Where this Indenture provides for notice
in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and
such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall
not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.


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


Section 1.7
Conflict with Trust Indenture Act.


If any provision of this Indenture
limits, qualifies, or conflicts with a provision of the Trust Indenture Act that is required under such Act to be a part of and govern
this Indenture, the latter provision shall control. If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust
Indenture Act that may be so modified or excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to apply to this Indenture as so modified or to
be excluded, as the case may be.

New York, United States of America, and of any appellate court in respect thereof in any suit, action or proceeding that may be brought
in connection with this Indenture or the Securities, and waives any immunity from the jurisdiction of such courts. Each of the Company
and the Trustee irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection to any such suit, action or proceeding that
may be brought in such courts whether on the grounds of venue, residence or domicile or on the ground that any such suit, action or proceeding
has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each of the Company and the Trustee agrees, to the fullest extent that it lawfully may do so,
that final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court shall be conclusive and binding upon the Company and
the Trustee, respectively, and the Company waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection to the enforcement by any competent
court in the Company’s jurisdiction of organization of judgments validly obtained in any such court in New York on the basis of
such suit, action or proceeding.

any other provision of this Indenture or of the Securities, other than a provision of the Securities of any series which specifically
states that such provision shall apply in lieu of this Section) payment of interest or principal (and premium, if any) need not be made
at such Place of Payment on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment with the same force
and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date, or Redemption Date, or at the Stated Maturity, provided that, if such payment is made
on such next succeeding Business Day, no interest shall accrue with respect to the payment due on such date for the period from and after

Section 3.3
Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.


The Securities shall be executed
on behalf of the Company by its Chairman, its Chief Executive Officer, its President, or one of its Vice Presidents, and may (but need

or one of its Assistant Secretaries. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile.


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


At any time and from time
to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series executed by the Company to
the Trustee for authentication, together with the documents referred to below in this Section 3.3, for the authentication and delivery
of such Securities, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver such Securities to or upon a Company Order or pursuant to such procedures
acceptable to the Trustee and to such recipients as may be specified from time to time by a Company Order. If so provided in or pursuant
to the Board Resolution or supplemental indenture establishing the Securities of any series, the maturity date, original issue date, interest
rate, and any other terms of any or all of the Securities of such series may be determined by or pursuant to such Company Order and procedures.
If provided for in such procedures, such Company Order may authorize authentication and delivery pursuant to electronic instructions from
the Company or its duly authorized agent, which instructions shall be promptly confirmed in writing. 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 Section 6.1) shall be fully protected in relying upon, unless and until such documents have been superseded or revoked:


(a)
a Company Order requesting such authentication and setting forth delivery instructions if the Securities are not to be delivered
to the Company, provided that, with respect to Securities of a series subject to a Periodic Offering, (i) such Company Order may be delivered
by the Company to the Trustee at any time prior to the delivery to the Trustee of the Securities of such series for authentication and
delivery, (ii) the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Securities of such series for original issue from time to time, in an aggregate
principal amount not exceeding the aggregate principal amount established for such series, pursuant to a Company Order or pursuant to
such procedures acceptable to the Trustee as may be specified from time to time by a Company Order, and (iii) if so provided in or pursuant
to the Board Resolution or supplemental indenture establishing the Securities of such series, the maturity date, original issue date,
interest rate, and any other terms of any or all of the Securities of such series may be determined by a Company Order or pursuant to
such procedures;


(b)
any Board Resolution, Officer’s Certificate and/or executed supplemental indenture referred to in Sections 2.1 and 3.1 by
or pursuant to which the form or forms and terms of the Securities of such series were established;




    	17 



    	 



    

 


 


(c)
an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the form or forms and the terms of the Securities of such series, stating that such
form or forms and terms have been established pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 3.1 and comply with this Indenture, and covering such other
matters as the Trustee may reasonably request; and


(d)
an Opinion of Counsel, substantially to the effect that:


		(i)	the form or forms of the Securities of such series have been duly authorized and established in conformity
with the provisions of this Indenture;



		(ii)	the terms of the Securities of such series (or the manner of determining such terms) have been established
in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and



		(iii)	that such Securities, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company in the
manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the
Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium,
and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors rights and to general equity principles and other customary
qualifications and assumptions.



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, liabilities or immunities under the Securities or this Indenture or otherwise.


Notwithstanding the provisions
of Section 3.1 and of the preceding paragraph, if all Securities of a series are not to be originally issued at one time, it shall not
be necessary to deliver the above specified documents at or prior to the time of authentication of each Security of such series if such
documents are delivered at or prior to the authentication upon original issuance of the first Security of such series to be issued.


Each Security shall be dated
the date of its authentication.


No Security shall be entitled
to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication
substantially in the form provided for in this Indenture executed by the Trustee by manual signature of an authorized signatory, and such
certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and
delivered under this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and delivered but never issued
and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 3.9, for all
purposes of this Indenture, such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered under this Indenture and shall
never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

Section 3.4
Temporary Securities.


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


If temporary Securities of
any series are issued, the 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 one or more definitive Securities of the same series,
of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor. Until so exchanged the temporary Securities of any
series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series and tenor.


Section 3.5
Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange.


The Company shall cause to
be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a register (the register maintained in such office or in any other office or agency
of the Company in a Place of Payment may sometimes be collectively referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject
to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Securities and of transfers of Securities.
The Trustee is hereby appointed “Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering Securities and transfers of Securities
as provided in this Indenture.


Upon surrender for registration
of transfer of any Security of any series at the 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 Securities
of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor.


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


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




    	19 



    	 



    

 


Every Security presented or
surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall 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 or his attorney duly authorized in writing.


No service charge shall be
made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company 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 3.4, 9.6, or 11.7 not involving any transfer.


The Company shall not be required
(i) to issue, register the transfer of, or exchange Securities of any series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days
before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities of that series selected for redemption under Section 11.3 and ending
at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption
in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part.


Notwithstanding the foregoing
and except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1, if at any time the Depositary for the Securities of a series represented
by a Global Security or Global Securities notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as a Depositary for the Securities
of such series or if at any time the Depositary for Securities of a series shall no longer be registered or in good standing under the
Exchange Act or other applicable statute or regulation, the Company shall appoint a successor Depositary with respect to the Securities
of such series. If a successor Depositary for the Securities of such series is not appointed by the Company or, if appointed, has not
accepted such appointment, within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such condition, the Company will
execute, and the Trustee, upon Company Request, will authenticate and deliver, Securities of such series in definitive form in an aggregate
principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security or Global Securities representing Securities of such series in exchange
for such Global Security or Global Securities.


In the event that (i) the
Company at any time and in its sole discretion determines that the Securities of any series issued in the form of one or more Global Securities
shall no longer be represented by such Global Security or Global Securities or (ii) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event
of Default with respect to the Securities of any series, the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon Company Request or instructions
from the Depositary, will authenticate and deliver, Securities of such series in definitive form and in an aggregate principal amount
equal to the principal amount of the Global Security or Global Securities representing such series in exchange for such Global Security
or Global Securities.


Upon the occurrence in respect
of any Global Security of any series of any one or more of the conditions specified in the preceding two paragraphs or such other conditions
as may be specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 for such series, such Global Security may be exchanged for Securities registered in
the names of, and the transfer of such Global Security may be registered to, such Persons (including Persons other than the Depositary
with respect to such series and its nominees) as such Depositary shall direct. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture,
any Security authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, any Global Security shall
also be a Global Security and shall bear the legend or legends specified in Section 2.2 except for any Security authenticated and delivered
in exchange for, or upon registration of transfer of, a Global Security pursuant to the preceding sentence.

Section 3.6
Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost, and Stolen Securities.


If any mutilated Security
is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange a new Security of
the same series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.


If there shall be delivered
to the Company and 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 execute and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost, or stolen Security, a new Security of the same series and of like
tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.


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


Upon the issuance of any new
Security under this Section, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that
may be imposed in relation to such issuance and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected with such
issuance.


Every new Security of any
series issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost, or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual
obligation of the 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
under this Indenture.


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


Section 3.7
Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.


Except as otherwise provided
as contemplated by Section 3.1 with respect to any series of Securities, interest on any Security which is payable, and is punctually
paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor
Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest.




    	21 



    	 



    

 


Any interest on any Security
of any series which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (“Defaulted Interest”)
shall cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest
may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (1) or (2) below:


21


(1)
The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or
their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted
Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest
proposed to be paid on each Security of such series and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit
with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make
arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held
in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as provided in this clause. At such time 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 related Special Record Date to be transmitted to each Holder of 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 related Special Record Date having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest
shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered
at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (2).


(2)
The Company may make payment to Holders of any Defaulted Interest on the 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.


(3)
Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer
of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were
carried by such other Security.


Section 3.8
Persons Deemed Owners.


Prior to due presentment of
a Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee, and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in
whose name such Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and any premium
and (subject to Section 3.7) any interest on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue,
and neither the Company, the Trustee, nor an agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.




    	22 



    	 



    

 


No holder of any beneficial
interest in any Global Security registered in the name of a Depositary or its nominee shall have any rights under this Indenture with
respect to such Global Security, and such Depositary or nominee, as the case may be, may be treated by the Company, the Trustee, and any
agent of the Company or the Trustee as the owner of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing
in this Indenture shall prevent the Company, the Trustee, or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written
certification, proxy, or other authorization furnished by a Depositary or its nominee pursuant to this Indenture. Furthermore, none of
the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent, the Security Registrar, or any other agent of the Company or the Trustee will have any responsibility
or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in any such Global
Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. The Company, the Trustee,
any Paying Agent, the Security Registrar, or any other agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be entitled to deal with the Depositary,
and any nominee thereof, that is the registered holder of any Global Security for all purposes of this Indenture relating to such Global
Security (including the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest and additional amounts, if any, and the giving of instructions
or directions by or to the owner or holder of a beneficial ownership interest in such Global Security) as the sole holder of such Global
Security and shall have no obligations to the beneficial owners thereof. None of the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Security Registrar
shall have any responsibility or liability for any acts or omissions of the Depositary with respect to such Global Security, for the records
of any such depositary, including records in respect of beneficial ownership interests in respect of any such Global Security, for any
transactions between the Depositary and any Depositary participant or between or among the Depositary, any such Depositary participant
and/or any holder or owner of a beneficial interest in such Global Security, or for any transfers of beneficial interests in any such
Global Security.


Section 3.9
Cancellation.


All Securities surrendered
for payment, conversion, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange, or for credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if surrendered
to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Company may at any time deliver
to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered 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 which the Company has not issued and sold, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. No
Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly
permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Securities held by the Trustee shall be disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its then
customary procedures.


Section 3.10 Computation
of Interest.


Except as otherwise specified
as contemplated by Section 3.1 for Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis
of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.




    	23 



    	 



    

 


Section 3.11 CUSIP
Numbers.


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

Satisfaction and Discharge


Section 4.1
Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture.


This Indenture shall upon
Company Request cease to be of further effect (except as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of Securities
expressly provided for in this Indenture), and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, when


(1)
either:


		(i)	all Securities previously authenticated and delivered (other than (i) Securities which have been destroyed,
lost, or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 3.6 and (ii) Securities for whose payment money has previously
been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust,
as provided in Section 10.3) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or



		(ii)	all such Securities not previously delivered to the Trustee for cancellation



		(iii)	have become due and payable, or



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



		(v)	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,





    	24 



    	 



    

 


and the Company, in the case of (i), (ii) or
(iii) above, has deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for the purpose an amount sufficient to
pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Securities not previously delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (other than Securities
which have been destroyed, lost, or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 3.6), for principal and any premium
and interest to the date of such deposit (in the case of Securities which have become due and payable) or to the Stated Maturity or Redemption
Date, as the case may be;


(2)
the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable by the Company under this Indenture; and


(3)
the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions
precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with.


Notwithstanding the satisfaction
and discharge of this Indenture, the obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Section 6.7, the obligations (if any) of the Company
to any Authenticating Agent under Section 6.14 and, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (B) of clause
(1) of this Section, the obligations of the Trustee under Section 4.2 and the last paragraph of Section 10.3 shall survive such satisfaction
and discharge.


In the event Securities of
two or more series were at any time issued under this Indenture, the Trustee shall be required to execute an instrument acknowledging
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture only if requested to do so with respect to the Securities of all series as to which it is
Trustee and if the conditions of satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture contained in this Section 4.1 in respect of such Securities
have been satisfied. In the event there are two or more Trustees under this Indenture, the effectiveness of any such instrument shall
be conditioned upon receipt of such instruments from all such Trustees.


Section 4.2
Application of Trust Money.


Subject to the provisions
of the last paragraph of Section 10.3, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.1 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 to such money, of the principal
and any premium and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee.

of at least 25% in principal amount of all outstanding Securities affected by that failure a written notice specifying such failure and
requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder;

(c)
consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property;

or an assignment of, or to collect on, seize, dispose of or apply any assets of the Company or its Subsidiaries (including lock-box and
other similar arrangements) securing such Debt, or to set off against any bank accounts of the Company or its Subsidiaries in excess of

Section 5.2
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 (other than an Event of Default referred to in Section
5.1(5) or (6)) then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities
of that series may declare the principal amount (or, if any Securities of that series are Discount Securities, such portion of the principal
amount as may be specified in the terms of such Securities) of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all of 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 Holders), and upon any
such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount) and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall become immediately due and
payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(5) or (6) shall occur, the principal amount (or specified amount) of and accrued
and unpaid interest, if any, on all outstanding Securities shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration
or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.


At any time after such a declaration
of acceleration with respect to any series has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained
by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of a majority in 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 all Events
of Default with respect to Securities of that series, other than the non-payment of the principal and interest, if any, of Securities
of that series which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.13.


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


Section 5.3
Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.


The Company covenants that
if:


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


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




    	27 



    	 



    

 


(3)
default is made in the making or satisfaction of any sinking fund or analogous obligation when the same becomes due pursuant to
the terms of any Security,


then the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee,
pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal and
any premium and interest and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal
and premium and on any overdue interest, at the rate or rates prescribed in such Securities, and, in addition, such further amount as
shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements, and
advances of the Trustee, its agents, and counsel.


If the Company fails to pay
such amounts immediately 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 such Securities and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided
by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities, wherever situated.


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 necessary
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 in this Indenture, or to enforce any other proper remedy.


Section 5.4
Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.


In case of any judicial proceeding
relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities), its property, or its creditors, the Trustee shall be entitled and
empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to take any and all actions authorized under the Trust Indenture Act in order
to have claims of the Holders and the Trustee allowed in any such proceeding. In particular, the Trustee shall be authorized to collect
and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver,
assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator, or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is authorized by each Holder to
make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders,
to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements, and advances of the Trustee, its agents
and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.7.


No provision of this Indenture
shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment, or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect
of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding; provided, however, the Trustee may vote on behalf of the Holders for the election of
a trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and may be a member of a creditors, or other similar committee.

the production of such Securities in any related proceeding, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its
own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements, and advances of the Trustee, its agents, and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities
in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

distribution of such money on account of principal or any premium or interest, upon presentation of the Securities and the notation on
such Securities of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender of such Securities if fully paid:


FIRST: To the payment of all
amounts due the Trustee (including any predecessor trustee) under Section 6.7;


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


THIRD: To the Company or as
a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct in writing.

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 provided in this Indenture and for the
equal and ratable benefit of all of such Holders.


Section 5.8
Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium, and Interest.


Notwithstanding any other
provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment
of the principal of and any premium and (subject to Section 3.7) any interest on such Security on the Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed
in such Security (or, in the case of redemption or mandatory repurchase, on the Redemption Date or mandatory repurchase date, as applicable),
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 5.9
Restoration of Rights and Remedies.


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

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 3.6, no
right or remedy conferred in this Indenture upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other
right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right
and remedy given under this Indenture or now or in the future existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of
any right or remedy under this Indenture, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate
right or remedy.

Section 5.11 Delay
or Omission Not Waiver.


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


Section 5.12 Control
by Holders.


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


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


(2)
the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction, and


(3)
the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer
or Officers of the Trustee, determine that the proceeding so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability.


Section 5.13 Waiver
of Past Defaults.


The Holders of not less than
a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such
series waive any past default under this Indenture with respect to such series and its consequences, except a default (1) in the payment
of the principal of or any premium or interest on any Security of such series, or (2) in respect of a covenant or provision of this Indenture
which under Article IX cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of such affected series.


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


Section 5.14 Undertaking
for Costs.


All parties to this Indenture
agree, and each Holder of any Securities by his acceptance of such Securities shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its
discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for
any action taken, suffered, or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs
of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses,
against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant;

The Trustee


Section 6.1
Certain Duties and Responsibilities.


(a)
Except during the continuance of an Event of Default,


(1)
the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied
covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and


(2)
in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness
of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture;
but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee,
the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but
need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts, statements, opinions or conclusions stated therein).


(b)
In case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in
it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the
circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs.


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


(1)
this Subsection (c) shall not be construed to limit the effect of Subsections (a) or (d) of this Section;


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


(3)
the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with
the direction of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, determined as provided herein,
relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or
power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series.


(d)
No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability
in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds
for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.




    	32 



    	 



    

 


(e)
Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability
of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 6.1.


Section 6.2
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 to all Holders of Securities of such
series, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register (or in case that a Depositary (or a nominee thereof) is a Holder
of Securities issued in the form of Global Securities, then with respect to such Securities give by electronic, email or other means as
such be acceptable to such Depositary), notice of such default hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such default shall have been cured
or waived; provided, however, that except in the case of default in the payment of the principal of or the interest on any of the Securities
of such series, or in the payment of any sinking fund installment or analogous payment on such series, the Trustee shall be protected
in withholding such notice if and so long as a committee comprised of Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that
the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Holders of such series. For the purpose of this Section, the term “default”
means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to Securities of such
series.

Indenture) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, conclusively rely upon an Officer’s Certificate;


(d)
the Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and

in reliance on such advice or Opinion of Counsel;




    	33 



    	 



    

 


(e)
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 indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses, and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with
such request or direction;


(f)
the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement,
instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness, or other
paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it
may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books,
records, and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost of the Company and shall incur no liability
or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation;

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

notice of such default or Event of Default shall have been given to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office
of the Trustee by the Company or by any Holder of the Securities, and such notice references the Securities and this Indenture;


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


(k)
the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to
be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian
and other Person employed to act hereunder;


(l)
the Trustee may request that the Company deliver a certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers
authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, which certificate may be signed by any person authorized
to sign an Officer’s Certificate, including any person specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and
not superseded;


(m)
anything in this Indenture notwithstanding, in no event shall the Trustee be liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential
loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to loss of profit), even if the Trustee has been advised as to the likelihood
of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action; and




    	34 



    	 



    

 


(n)
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 control, including, without limitation, any provision of

disturbances; sabotage; epidemics; riots; interruptions; loss or malfunctions of utilities, computer (hardware or software) or communication
services; accidents; labor disputes; acts of civil or military authority and governmental action.


Section 6.4
Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities.


The recitals contained in
this Indenture and in the Securities, except the Trustee’s certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the
Company, and the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations
as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities. The Trustee or any Authenticating Agent shall not be accountable
for the use or application by the Company of Securities or the proceeds from such Securities. The Trustee shall not be responsible to
make any calculation with respect to any matter under this Indenture. The Trustee shall have no duty to monitor or investigate the Company’s
compliance with or the breach of, or cause to be performed or observed, any representation, warranty, or covenant, or agreement of any
Person, other than the Trustee, made in this Indenture.


Section 6.5
May Hold Securities.


The Trustee, any Authenticating
Agent, any Paying Agent, any Security Registrar, 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 Sections 6.8 and 6.13, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it
would have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Security Registrar, or such other agent.


Section 6.6
Money Held in Trust.


Money held by the Trustee
in trust under this Indenture 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 under this Indenture except as otherwise agreed in writing with the Company.


Section 6.7
Compensation and Reimbursement.


The Company agrees:


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




    	35 



    	 



    

 


(2)
except as otherwise expressly provided in this Indenture, to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses,
disbursements, and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable
compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement, or advance as shall
be determined to have been caused by its own gross negligence or willful misconduct; and


(3)
to indemnify each of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee and their officers, agents, directors and employees for, and to hold
them harmless against, any and all loss, damage, claim, liability, or expense, including fees and expenses of counsel and including taxes
(other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee), incurred without gross negligence or willful misconduct
on their part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts under this Indenture, including
the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, or any Holder or any other Person) or liability
in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties under this Indenture, or in connection with enforcing the
provisions of this Section.


To secure the Company’s
obligations under this Section, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities upon all money or property held or collected by
the Trustee in its capacity as Trustee, except for such money and property which is held in trust to pay principal (and premium, if any)
or interest on particular Securities;


In addition to, and without
prejudice to its other rights under this Indenture, when the Trustee incurs any expenses or renders any services after the occurrence
of an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(1) or (2), such expenses (including the fees and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation
for such services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under the United States Bankruptcy Code (Title 11 of the United
States Code) or any similar Federal or State law for the relief of debtors; and


The provisions of this Section
6.7 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture, the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the termination for any
reason of this Indenture.


“Trustee” for
purposes of this Section shall include any predecessor Trustee; provided, however, that the negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith
of any Trustee hereunder shall not affect the rights of any other Trustee hereunder.


Section 6.8
Disqualification; Conflicting Interests.


If the Trustee has or shall
acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either eliminate such
interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture.
For the purpose of the second paragraph of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act, the phrase “default (as such term is defined
in such indenture, but exclusive of any period of grace or requirement of notice)” is hereby defined to mean any event which is,
or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default. To the extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee
shall not be deemed to have a conflicting interest by virtue of being a trustee under this Indenture with respect to Securities of more
than one series.

Section 6.9
Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility.


There shall at all times be
a Trustee under this Indenture which shall be a Person that is eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act as such and has a combined
capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If such Person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the
requirements of its supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section (and to the extent permitted by the Trust
Indenture Act), the combined capital and surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in
its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions
of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Article.


Section 6.10 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 shall become effective
until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 6.11.


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


(c)
The Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the Securities of any series by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, delivered to the Trustee and to the Company.


(d)
If at any time:


(1)
the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 6.8 after written request for such compliance by the Company or by any Holder who
has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months, or


(2)
the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 6.9 and shall fail to resign after written request by the Company or by any
such Holder, 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 a
Board Resolution may remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities, or (ii) subject to Section 5.14, any Holder who has been a bona
fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all Securities and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees.




    	37 



    	 



    

 


(e)
If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 6.11 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within
30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation or removal, the Trustee resigning or being removed may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.


(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 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) and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 6.11. If, within one
year after such resignation, removal, or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities
of any series shall 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, immediately upon its acceptance of such appointment
in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 6.11, 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 and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 6.11,
any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others
similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities
of such series.


(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 to all Holders of Securities of such series in
the manner provided in Section 1.6. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such
series and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.


Section 6.11 Acceptance
of Appointment by Successor.


(a)
In case of the appointment of a successor Trustee under this Indenture with respect to all Securities, every such successor Trustee
so appointed shall execute, acknowledge, and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment.
Upon such delivery, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any
further act, deed, or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts, and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on
the request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges and all other amounts payable
to it hereunder, 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 under
this Indenture, subject nevertheless to its lien provided for in Section 6.7.




    	38 



    	 



    

 


(b)
In case of the appointment under this Indenture 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 a supplemental indenture wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (1) shall contain such provisions
as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts,
and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee
relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to the Securities of all series, 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 under this Indenture by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing in this Indenture or in such supplemental
indenture shall constitute such Trustees cotrustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts
under this Indenture separate and apart from any trust or trusts under this Indenture 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 in such supplemental indenture and each such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed, or conveyance, shall
become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts, and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those
series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; and such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer, and deliver
to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee under this Indenture with respect to the Securities of
that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, subject nevertheless to its lien provided for in Section
6.7.


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


(d)
No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified
and eligible under this Article.


Section 6.12 Merger,
Conversion, Consolidation, or Succession to Business.


Any Person into which the
Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion, or consolidation
to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of the Trustee,
shall be the successor of the Trustee under this Indenture, provided such Person shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this
Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties to this Indenture. In case
any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion, or
consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect
as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities.

Section 6.13 Preferential
Collection of Claims Against Company.


If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company
or any other obligor upon the Securities (other than by reason of a relationship described in Section 311(b) of the Trust Indenture Act),
the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the Company or any
such other obligor. For purposes of Section 311(b) of the Trust Indenture Act:


(1)
the term “cash transaction” means any transaction in which full payment for goods or securities sold is made within
seven days after delivery of the goods or securities in currency or in checks or other orders drawn upon banks or bankers and payable
upon demand; and


(2)
the term “self-liquidating paper” means any draft, bill of exchange, acceptance or obligation which is made, drawn,
negotiated or incurred by the Company or such obligor for the purpose of financing the purchase, processing, manufacturing, shipment,
storage or sale of goods, wares or merchandise and which is secured by documents evidencing title to, possession of, or a lien upon, the
goods, wares or merchandise or the receivables or proceeds arising from the sale of the goods, wares or merchandise previously constituting
the security, provided the security is received by the Trustee simultaneously with the creation of the creditor relationship with the
Company or such obligor arising from the making, drawing, negotiating or incurring of the draft, bill of exchange, acceptance or obligation.


Section 6.14 Appointment
of Authenticating Agent.


The Trustee may appoint an
Authenticating Agent or Agents (which may be an affiliate of the Company) with respect to one or more series of Securities which shall
be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series issued upon original issue and upon exchange,
registration of transfer, or partial redemption or conversion, or pursuant to Section 3.6, 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. Wherever reference
is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication,
such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate
of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company
and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any of its states,
or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less
than $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports
of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes
of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus
as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of this Section, such authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified
in this Section.




    	40 



    	 



    

 


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


An Authenticating Agent may
resign at any time by giving written notice to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an
Authenticating Agent by giving written notice to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation
or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions
of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall mail written
notice of such appointment by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to all Holders of Securities of the series with respect to which such
Authenticating Agent will serve, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon
acceptance of its appointment under this Indenture shall become vested with all the rights, powers, and duties of its predecessor, with
like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under
the provisions of this Section.


The Company agrees to pay
to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section.


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


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

of Principal, Premium, and Interest.


The Company covenants and

on the Securities of that series in accordance with the terms of the Securities and this Indenture.


Section 10.2 Maintenance
of Office or Agency.


The Company will maintain
in each Place of Payment for any series of Securities an office or agency where Securities of that series may be presented or surrendered
for payment, where Securities of that series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, and where notices and demands
to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may be served. The Company will give prompt written
notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail

The Company may also from
time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Securities of one or more series may be presented or surrendered
for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission
shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in each Place of Payment for Securities of any
series for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any
change in the location of any such other office or agency.


Section 10.3 Money

time act as its own Paying Agent with respect to any series of Securities, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of or
any premium or interest on any of the Securities of that series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to
such principal, premium, or interest a sum sufficient to pay the principal and any premium and interest so becoming due until such sums
shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as provided in this Indenture and will promptly notify the Trustee of its action
or failure to act.




    	47 



    	 



    

 


Whenever the Company shall
have one or more Paying Agents for any series of Securities, it will, prior to each due date of the principal of or any premium or interest
on any Securities of that series, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such amount, such sum to be held as provided by
the Trust Indenture Act, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of its
action or failure to act.


The Company will cause each
Paying Agent for any series of Securities other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying
Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will (i) comply with the provisions
of the Trust Indenture Act applicable to it as a Paying Agent and (ii) during the continuance of any default by the Company (or any other
obligor upon the Securities of that series) in the making of any payment in respect of the Securities of that series, and upon the written
request of the Trustee, immediately pay to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent for payment in respect of the Securities
of that series.


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


Subject to applicable abandoned
property laws, any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the
principal of or any premium or interest on any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium,
or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on 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,
and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee, shall
cease at such time.


Section 10.4 Statement
by Officers as to Default.


The Company will deliver to
the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company ending after the date of this Indenture, an Officer’s
Certificate (the signer of which shall be the principal executive officer, principal financial officer, or principal accounting officer
of the Company), stating whether or not, to the best knowledge of the signers, the Company is in default in the performance and observance
of any of the terms, provisions, and conditions of this Indenture (without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided
under this Indenture) and, if the Company shall be in default, specifying all such defaults and their nature and status of which they
may have knowledge. The Company will deliver to the Trustee written notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default or default (which
word has the meaning of the word “default” as used in Section 6.2), within ten (10) Business Days of the Company becoming
aware of any such Event of Default or default and setting forth the detail of such Event of Default or default and the action the Company
proposes to take with respect thereto.

Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights (charter
and statutory), and franchises; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right or franchise if the

Section 13.2 Defeasance
and Discharge.


Upon the Company’s exercise
of the above option applicable to this Section, the Company shall be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect
to the Outstanding Securities of such series on and after the date the conditions precedent set forth in Section 13.3 are satisfied (“Defeasance”).

insofar as such Securities are concerned (and the Trustee, upon Company Order and 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 under this

such Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the Outstanding Securities of such series, 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 whether directly or indirectly
by reason of any reference elsewhere in this Indenture to any such Section or by reason of any reference in any such Section to any other
provision in this Indenture or in any other document, but the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities shall be unaffected by such

The Company shall pay and
indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee, or other charge imposed on or assessed against the money or U.S. Government Obligations deposited
