 WHEREAS, Section 901 of the Principal Indenture provides that, without the consent of any Holders, the Company, when authorized by a Board

due and payable immediately by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal or such amount or property shall become immediately due and payable. 
 At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to Securities of any series has been made and before a judgment or
decree for payment of the Maturity Consideration due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount or, if such Securities are not payable at Maturity for a fixed principal
amount, the aggregate issue price 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

such Securities, 
 (B) all overdue installments of interest on and any Additional Amounts payable in respect of all

upon demand of the Trustee, deliver or pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities and coupons, the whole amount and/or other consideration then due and payable or deliverable on such Securities and coupons for Maturity
Consideration and interest and Additional Amounts, if any, with interest upon the overdue Maturity Consideration and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, upon overdue installments of interest or any Additional
Amounts, 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 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 deliver or to pay such amounts and/or other
consideration 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 such amounts and/or other consideration so due and undelivered or unpaid, and may
prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities and collect the moneys and/or other consideration adjudged or decreed to be deliverable or payable in the
manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities, wherever situated.”

time act as its own Paying Agent with respect to any series of Securities, it will, on or before each due date of the Maturity Consideration or interest on any of the Securities of that series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the
Persons entitled thereto consideration in an amount sufficient to deliver or pay the Maturity Consideration or a sum sufficient to pay the interest so becoming due until such consideration shall be delivered or 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. 
  

 8 








 Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents with respect to any series of
Securities, it will, on or prior to each due date of the Maturity Consideration or interest on any Securities of that series, deposit with a Paying Agent consideration in an amount sufficient to deliver or pay the Maturity Consideration or a sum
sufficient to pay the interest so becoming due, such consideration 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 of its action or failure so to act.

 The Company will cause each Paying Agent for any series of Securities other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the
Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will (i) comply with the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act applicable to it as Paying Agent,

(iii) during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith deliver or pay to the Trustee all consideration so held in trust by such Paying Agent. 
 The Company may at any time, for any purpose, deliver or pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to deliver or pay, to the
Trustee all consideration held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such consideration to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such consideration was held by the Company or such Paying Agent; and, upon such
delivery or payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such consideration. 
 Except as otherwise provided in the form of Securities of any particular series pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, any consideration deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the
Company, in trust for the payment of the interest on or delivery or payment upon discharge of any Securities of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such consideration has become due and deliverable or 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 or any coupon appertaining thereto shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for
delivery or payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust consideration, 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 in each Place of Payment or to be mailed to Holders of the Registered Securities, or both,
notice that such consideration remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication or mailing, any unclaimed balance of such consideration then remaining will be
delivered or repaid to the Company.” 
 (o) By amending Article Fifteen to include the following new section:

 “SECTION 1502. Maturity Consideration. If the Securities of any series provide for
the payment or delivery of any Maturity Consideration other than money, the Company will pay or deliver, as the case may be, to the Holder of any such Security, the Maturity Consideration as provided therein. Whenever in this Indenture there is
mentioned the payment of money in respect of the principal of (or premium, if any) any Security of any series, such mention shall be deemed to include the payment or delivery of consideration other than money to the extent that such payment or
delivery is permitted or required by the terms of the Securities of any series. Express mention of the payment or delivery of Maturity Consideration in any provision herein shall not be construed as excluding Maturity Consideration other than money
where such express mention is not made. 
 If any of the Securities of any series are not payable at Maturity for a fixed
principal amount, all references herein to the principal amount of such Securities shall be deemed to include mention of the aggregate issue price of such Securities, as the context requires. Express reference to the issue price or aggregate issue
price of any Securities of any series in any provision herein shall not be construed as excluding such references where such express reference is not made.”
