in a Board Resolution, supplemental indenture or Officers’ Certificate detailing the adoption of the terms thereof pursuant
to authority granted under a Board Resolution. In the case of Securities of a Series to be issued from time to time, the Board
Resolution, Officers’ Certificate or supplemental indenture detailing the adoption of the terms thereof pursuant to authority
granted under a Board Resolution may provide for the method by which specified terms (such as interest rate, maturity date, record
date or date from which interest shall accrue) are to be determined. Securities may differ between Series in respect of any matters,
provided that all Series of Securities shall be equally and ratably entitled to the benefits of the Indenture, but all Securities
issued hereunder shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner set forth in Article XII,
to all Senior Indebtedness of the Company.

obligation, if any, of the Company to redeem or purchase the Securities of the Series pursuant to any sinking fund or analogous
provisions or at the option of a Holder thereof and the period or periods within which, the price or prices at which and the terms
and conditions upon which Securities of the Series shall be redeemed or purchased, in whole or in part, pursuant to such obligation;


 


2.2.10    the
dates, if any, on which and the price or prices at which the Securities of the Series will be repurchased by the Company at the
option of the Holders thereof and other detailed terms and provisions of such repurchase obligations;


 


2.2.11    if

Trustee or the requisite Holders of such Securities to declare the principal amount thereof due and payable pursuant to Section

such Series); and


 


2.2.18    any
depositories, interest rate calculation agents, exchange rate calculation agents or other agents with respect to Securities of
such Series if other than those appointed herein.


 


All Securities of any
one Series need not be issued at the same time and may be issued from time to time, consistent with the terms of this Indenture,
if so provided by or pursuant to the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officers’ Certificate referred to
above, and the authorized principal amount of any Series may not be increased to provide for issuances of additional Securities
of such Series, unless otherwise provided in such Board Resolution, supplemental indenture or Officers’ Certificate.


 


Section 2.3    Execution
and Authentication.


 


Two Officers shall
sign the Securities for the Company by manual or facsimile signature.


 


If an Officer whose
signature is on a Security no longer holds that office at the time the Security is authenticated, the Security shall nevertheless
be valid.


 


A Security shall not
be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent. The signature shall be conclusive
evidence that the Security has been authenticated under this Indenture.


 


The Trustee shall at
any time, and from time to time, authenticate Securities for original issue in the principal amount provided in the Board Resolution,
supplemental indenture hereto or Officers’ Certificate, upon receipt by the Trustee of a Company Order. Such Company Order
may authorize authentication and delivery pursuant to oral or electronic instructions from the Company or its duly authorized agent
or agents, which oral instructions shall be promptly confirmed in writing. Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication
unless otherwise provided by a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officers’ Certificate.


 


The aggregate principal
amount of Securities of any Series outstanding at any time may not exceed any limit upon the maximum principal amount for such
Series set forth in the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officers’ Certificate delivered pursuant to Section
2.2, except as provided in Section 2.8.


 


Prior to the issuance
of Securities of any Series, the Trustee shall have received and (subject to Section 7.2) shall be fully protected in relying on:
(a) the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officers’ Certificate establishing the form of the Securities
of that Series or of Securities within that Series and the terms of the Securities of that Series or of Securities within that
Series, (b) an Officers’ Certificate complying with Section 10.4, and (c) an Opinion of Counsel complying with Section 10.4.


 




    	 	9	 



     


    

 


The Trustee shall have
the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Securities of such Series: (a) if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines
that such action may not be taken lawfully; or (b) if the Trustee in good faith by its board of directors or trustees, executive
committee or a trust committee of directors and/or Vice Presidents shall determine that such action would expose the Trustee to
personal liability to Holders of any then outstanding Series of Securities.


 


The Trustee may appoint
an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Securities. An authenticating agent may authenticate Securities
whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such
agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with the Company or an Affiliate of the Company.


 


Section 2.4    Registrar
and Paying Agent.


 


The Company shall maintain,
with respect to each Series of Securities, at the place or places specified with respect to such Series pursuant to Section 2.2,
an office or agency where Securities of such Series may be presented or surrendered for payment (“Paying Agent”), where
Securities of such Series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange (“Registrar”) and where notices
and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of such Series and this Indenture may be served (“Service
Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register with respect to each Series of Securities and to their transfer and exchange.
The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the name and address, and any change in the name or address, of each
Registrar, Paying Agent or Service Agent. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required Registrar, Paying
Agent or Service Agent or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the name and address thereof, such presentations, surrenders,
notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee
as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.


 


The Company may also
from time to time designate one or more co-registrars, additional paying agents or additional service agents 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 obligations to maintain a Registrar, Paying Agent and Service Agent in each place so specified pursuant to Section 2.2 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 name or address of any such co-registrar, additional paying agent or additional service
agent. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar; the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional
paying agent; and the term “Service Agent” includes any additional service agent.


 


The Company hereby
appoints the Trustee as the initial Registrar, Paying Agent and Service Agent for each Series unless another Registrar, Paying
Agent or Service Agent, as the case may be, is appointed prior to the time Securities of that Series are first issued.

Section 2.5    Paying
Agent to Hold Money in Trust.


 


The Company shall require
each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust, for the benefit of Securityholders
of any Series of Securities, or the Trustee, all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of or interest on
the Series of Securities, and will notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment. While any such
default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may
require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other
than the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company) shall have no further liability for the money. If the Company or a Subsidiary
of the Company acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of Securityholders of
any Series of Securities all money held by it as Paying Agent.


 


Section 2.6    Securityholder
Lists.


 


The Trustee shall preserve
in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Securityholders
of each Series of Securities and shall otherwise comply with TIA Section 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company
shall furnish to the Trustee at least ten days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may request
in writing a list, in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of Securityholders
of each Series of Securities.


 


Section 2.7    Transfer
and Exchange.


 


Where Securities of
a Series are presented to the Registrar or a co-registrar with a request to register a transfer or to exchange them for an equal
principal amount of Securities of the same Series, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange if its requirements
for such transactions are met. To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Trustee shall authenticate Securities at
the Registrar’s request. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange (except as otherwise
expressly permitted herein), but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental
charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable upon exchanges
pursuant to Sections 2.11, 3.6 or 9.6).


 


Neither the Company
nor the Registrar shall be required (a) to issue, register the transfer of, or exchange Securities of any Series for the period
beginning at the opening of business fifteen days immediately preceding the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities of
that Series selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (b) to register the transfer
of or exchange Securities of any Series selected, called or being called for redemption as a whole or the portion being redeemed
of any such Securities selected, called or being called for redemption in part.


 




    	 	11	 



     


    

 


Section 2.8    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 make available for delivery in
exchange therefor 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 bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute
and upon its request the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, 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 thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected
therewith.


 


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


 


The provisions of this
Section 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 2.9    Outstanding
Securities.


 


The Securities outstanding
at any time are all the Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation,
those reductions in the interest on a Global Security effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof and those
described in this Section as not outstanding.


 


If a Security is replaced
pursuant to Section 2.8, it ceases to be outstanding until the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Security
is held by a bona fide purchaser.


 


If the Paying Agent
(other than the Company, a Subsidiary of the Company or an Affiliate of the Company) holds on the Maturity of Securities of a Series
money sufficient to pay such Securities payable on that date, then on and after that date such Securities of the Series cease to
be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.


 




    	 	12	 



     


    

 


A Security does not
cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Security.


 


In determining whether
the Holders of the requisite principal amount of outstanding Securities have given any request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent or waiver hereunder, the principal amount of a Discount Security that shall be deemed to be outstanding for such
purposes shall be the amount of the principal thereof that would be due and payable as of the date of such determination upon a
declaration of acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 6.2.


 


Section 2.10    Treasury
Securities.


 


In determining whether
the Holders of the required principal amount of Securities of a Series have concurred in any request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent or waiver, Securities of a Series owned by the Company shall be disregarded, except that for the purposes of determining
whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver,
only Securities of a Series that the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded.


 


Section 2.11    Temporary
Securities.


 


Until definitive Securities
are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities upon a Company Order. Temporary
Securities shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate
for temporary Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee upon request shall authenticate
definitive Securities of the same Series and date of maturity in exchange for temporary Securities. Until so exchanged, temporary
securities shall have the same rights under this Indenture as the definitive Securities.


 


Section 2.12    Cancellation.


 


The Company at any
time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any
Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee shall cancel all Securities surrendered
for transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and deliver such canceled Securities to the Company, unless the Company
otherwise directs; provided that the Trustee shall not be required to destroy Securities. The Company may not issue new Securities
to replace Securities that it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.


 


Section 2.13    Defaulted
Interest.


 


If the Company defaults
in a payment of interest on a Series of Securities, it shall pay the defaulted interest, plus, to the extent permitted by law,
any interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the persons who are Securityholders of the Series on a subsequent special record
date. The Company shall fix the record date and payment date. At least 10 days before the record date, the Company shall mail to
the Trustee and to each Securityholder of the Series a notice that states the record date, the payment date and the amount of interest
to be paid. The Company may pay defaulted interest in any other lawful manner.

Section 2.14    Global
Securities.


 


2.14.1    Terms

such Global Security or Securities.

And Exchange. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained in Section 2.7 of the Indenture and in addition thereto,
any Global Security shall be exchangeable pursuant to Section 2.7 of the Indenture for Securities registered in the names of Holders
other than the Depository for such Security or its nominee only if (i) such Depository notifies the Company that it is unwilling
or unable to continue as Depository for such Global Security or if at any time such Depository ceases to be a clearing agency registered
under the Exchange Act, and, in either case, the Company fails to appoint a successor Depository registered as a clearing agency
under the Exchange Act within 90 days of such event, (ii) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate
to the effect that such Global Security shall be so exchangeable or (iii) an Event of Default with respect to the Securities represented
by such Global Security shall have happened and be continuing. Any Global Security that is exchangeable pursuant to the preceding
sentence shall be exchangeable for Securities registered in such names as the Depository shall direct in writing in an aggregate
principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security with like tenor and terms.


 


Except as provided
in this Section 2.14.2, a Global Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depository with respect to such Global
Security to a nominee of such Depository, by a nominee of such Depository to such Depository or another nominee of such Depository
or by the Depository or any such nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of such a successor Depository.


 


2.14.3    Legend.
Any Global Security issued hereunder shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:


 


“This Security is a Global Security
within the meaning of the Indenture hereinafter referred to and is registered in the name of the Depository or a nominee of the
Depository. This Security is exchangeable for Securities registered in the name of a person other than the Depository or its nominee
only in the limited circumstances described in the Indenture, and may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depository to
a nominee of the Depository, by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or another nominee of the Depository or by the Depository
or any such nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of such a successor Depository.”


 




    	 	14	 



     


    

 


2.14.4    Acts
Of Holders. The Depository, as a Holder, may appoint agents and otherwise authorize participants to give or take any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action which a Holder is entitled to give or take under the Indenture.


 


2.14.5    Payments.
Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Indenture, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.2, payment of the
principal of and interest, if any, on any Global Security shall be made to the Holder thereof.


 


2.14.6    Consents,
Declaration And Directions. Except as provided in Section 2.14.5, the Company, the Trustee and any Agent shall treat a person as
the Holder of such principal amount of outstanding Securities of such Series represented by a Global Security as shall be specified
in a written statement of the Depository with respect to such Global Security, for purposes of obtaining any consents, declarations,
waivers or directions required to be given by the Holders pursuant to this Indenture.


 


Section 2.15    CUSIP
Numbers.


 


The Company in issuing
the Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP”
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 elements of identification printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall
not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers.


 


ARTICLE III    


REDEMPTION


 


Section 3.1    Notice
To Trustee.


 


The Company may, with
respect to any Series of Securities, reserve the right to redeem and pay the Series of Securities or may covenant to redeem and
pay the Series of Securities or any part thereof prior to the Stated Maturity thereof at such time and on such terms as provided
for in such Securities. If a Series of Securities is redeemable and the Company wants or is obligated to redeem prior to the Stated
Maturity thereof all or part of the Series of Securities pursuant to the terms of such Securities, it shall notify the Trustee
of the redemption date and the principal amount of Series of Securities to be redeemed. The Company shall give the notice at least
45 days before the redemption date (or such shorter notice as may be acceptable to the Trustee).


 


Section 3.2    Selection
of Securities to be Redeemed.


 


Unless otherwise indicated
for a particular Series by a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture or an Officers’ Certificate, if less than all the
Securities of a Series are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Securities of the Series to be redeemed in any manner that
the Trustee deems fair and appropriate. The Trustee shall make the selection from Securities of the Series outstanding not previously
called for redemption. The Trustee may select for redemption portions of the principal of Securities of the Series that have denominations
larger than $1,000. Securities of the Series and portions of them it selects shall be in amounts of $1,000 or whole multiples of
$1,000 or, with respect to Securities of any Series issuable in other denominations pursuant to Section 2.2.10, the minimum principal
denomination for each Series and integral multiples thereof. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Securities of a Series
called for redemption also apply to portions of Securities of that Series called for redemption.

Section 3.3    Notice
of Redemption.


 


Unless otherwise indicated
for a particular Series by Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officers’ Certificate, at least 30 days
but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Company shall mail a notice of redemption by first-class mail to each Holder
whose Securities are to be redeemed and, if any Bearer Securities are outstanding, publish on one occasion a notice in an Authorized
Newspaper.

redemption date;


 


(b)    the
redemption price;

other information as may be required by the terms of the particular Series or the Securities of a Series being redeemed.

request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at its expense.


 


Section 3.4    Effect
of Notice of Redemption.


 


Once notice of redemption
is mailed or published as provided in Section 3.3, Securities of a Series called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption
date and at the redemption price. A notice of redemption may not be conditional. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Securities
shall be paid at the redemption price plus accrued interest to the redemption date, provided that installments of interest whose
Stated Maturity is on or prior to the redemption date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities (or one or more predecessor
Securities) registered at the close of business on the relevant record date therefor according to their terms and the terms of
this Indenture.

and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the SEC may by rules and regulations prescribe) which
the Company is required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. The Company also shall comply
with the other provisions of TIA Section 314(a). Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational
purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein

(as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on an Officers’ Certificate).


 


Section 4.3    Compliance
Certificate.


 


The Company shall deliver
to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company, an Officers’ Certificate stating that a
review of the activities of the Company and its Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision
of the signing Officers with a view to determining whether the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations
under this Indenture, and further stating, as to each such Officer signing such certificate, that to the best of his/her knowledge
the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in this Indenture and is not in default
in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions hereof (or, if a Default or Event of Default shall

(to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or

may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture or the Securities and the Company (to the extent it may lawfully
do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law,
hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every
such power as though no such law has been enacted.

is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders.

Section 6.2    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 6.1(e) or (f)), then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than a majority 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 6.1(e) or (f)
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.


 




    	 	20	 



     


    

 


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 6.13.


 


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


 


Section 6.3    Collection
Of Indebtedness And Suits For Enforcement By Trustee.


 


The Company covenants
that if:


 


(a)    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, or


 


(b)    default
is made in the payment of principal of any Security at the Maturity thereof, or


 


(c)    default
is made in the deposit of any sinking fund payment when and as due by the terms of a 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 interest and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue
principal and any overdue interest at the rate or rates prescribed therefor 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 pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute
a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree
and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities and collect the moneys adjudged or deemed
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 any Securities of any Series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and
enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities of such Series by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee
shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement
in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

Section 6.4    Trustee
May File Proofs Of Claim.


 


In case of the pendency
of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial
proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or the property of the Company or of such other obligor
or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities shall then be due and payable as therein
expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for
the payment of overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise,
(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities and
to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any
claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the
Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and (b) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable
on any such claims and to distribute the same, and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other
similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder 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 7.7.


 


Nothing herein contained
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 thereof or to authorize the Trustee
to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.


 


Section 6.5    Trustee
May Enforce Claims Without Possession Of Securities.


 


All rights of action
and claims under this Indenture or the Securities may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of
the Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee
shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery 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.


 


Section 6.6    Application
of Money Collected.


 


Any money collected
by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and,

thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:


 




    	 	22	 



     


    

 


First: To the payment
of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.7; and


 


Second: To the payment
of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of 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 interest, respectively; and


 


Third: To the Company.


 


Section 6.7    Limitation
On Suits.


 


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


 


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


 


(b)    the
Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of that Series shall have made written request
to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder;


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


Section 6.8    Unconditional
Right of Holders to Receive Principal 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 interest, if any, on such Security on the Stated Maturity or Stated Maturities expressed in such
Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the redemption date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment,
and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.


 




    	 	23	 



     


    

 


Section 6.9    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 hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though
no such proceeding had been instituted.


 


Section 6.10    Rights
and Remedies Cumulative.


 


Except as otherwise
provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in Section 2.8, no right
or remedy herein conferred 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 hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right
or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not, to the extent permitted by law, prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of
any other appropriate right or remedy.


 


Section 6.11    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 any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. 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 6.12    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:


 


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


 


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


 


(c)    subject
to the provisions of Section 6.1, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee in good
faith shall, by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, determine that the proceeding so directed would involve the Trustee in personal
liability.


 




    	 	24	 



     


    

 


Section 6.13    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 hereunder with respect to such Series and its consequences, except a Default (i) in the payment
of the principal of or interest on any Security of such Series (provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the outstanding Securities of any Series may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment
default that resulted from such acceleration) or (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which cannot be modified or
amended without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Security of such Series affected. Upon any such waiver, such Default
shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this
Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.


 


Section 6.14    Undertaking
For Costs.


 


All parties to this
Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in
its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the
Trustee for any action taken, 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 attorneys’
fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by
such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Company, to any suit instituted
by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal
amount of the outstanding Securities of any Series, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment
of the principal of or interest on any Security on or after the Stated Maturity or Stated Maturities expressed in such Security
(or, in the case of redemption, on the redemption date).

of Trustee.


 


(a)    If

Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Securities generally or the Securities of a particular Series and this
Indenture.


 


Section 7.3    Individual
Rights of Trustee.


 


The Trustee in its
individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company or an Affiliate

the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to each Securityholder of the Securities of that Series and, if any Bearer Securities are outstanding,
publish on one occasion in an Authorized Newspaper, notice of a Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs or,
if later, after a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has knowledge of such Default or Event of Default. Except in the case of a
Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of or interest on any Security of any Series, the Trustee may withhold the
notice if and so long as its corporate trust committee or a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that
withholding the notice is in the interests of Securityholders of that Series.


 


Section 7.6    Reports
by Trustee to Holders.


 


Within 60 days after
May 15 in each year, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Securityholders, as their names and addresses appear on the register

of such May 15, in accordance with, and to the extent required under, TIA Section 313.

exchange.

include the reasonable compensation and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel.


 




    	 	28	 



     


    

 


The Company shall indemnify
each of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee (including the cost of defending itself) against any loss, liability or expense,

in the defense. The Trustee may have one separate counsel and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel.

shareholder or agent of the Trustee through negligence or bad faith.


 


To secure the Company’s
payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities of any Series on all money or property
held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Securities of that Series.


 


When the Trustee incurs
expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(e) or (f) occurs, the expenses and the compensation
for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.


 


The provisions of this
Section shall survive the termination of this Indenture.


 


Section 7.8    Replacement
of Trustee.


 


A resignation or removal
of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance
of appointment as provided in this Section.


 


The Trustee may resign
with respect to the Securities of one or more Series by so notifying the Company at least 30 days prior to the date of the proposed
resignation. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of any Series may remove the Trustee with respect
to that Series by so notifying the Trustee and the Company. The Company may remove the Trustee with respect to Securities of one
or more Series if:


 


(a)    the

(b)    the
Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy
Law;

Custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or


 




    	 	29	 



     


    

 


(d)    the
Trustee becomes incapable of acting.


 


If the Trustee resigns
or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee.
Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding
Securities may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company.


 


If a successor Trustee
with respect to the Securities of any one or more Series does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns
or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Securities of
the applicable Series may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.


 


A successor Trustee

(i)    to
evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or
more Series and to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate
the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee; or


 


(j)    to
comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA.


 


Section 9.2    With
Consent of Holders.


 


The Company and the
Trustee may enter into a supplemental indenture with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount
of the outstanding Securities of each Series affected by such supplemental indenture (including consents obtained in connection
with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Securities of such Series), for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing
in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner
the rights of the Securityholders of each such Series. Except as provided in Section 6.13, the Holders of at least a majority in
principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any Series by notice to the Trustee (including consents obtained in connection
with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Securities of such Series) may waive compliance by the Company with any provision
of this Indenture or the Securities with respect to such Series.


 


It shall not be necessary
for the consent of the Holders of Securities under this Section 9.2 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental
indenture or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. After a supplemental indenture
or waiver under this section becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders of Securities affected thereby and, if any
Bearer Securities affected thereby are outstanding, publish on one occasion in an Authorized Newspaper, a notice briefly describing
the supplemental indenture or waiver. Any failure by the Company to mail or publish such notice, or any defect therein, shall not,
however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture or waiver.


 




    	 	35	 



     


    

 


Section 9.3    Limitations.


 


Without the consent
of each Securityholder affected, an amendment or waiver may not:


 


(f)    reduce
the amount of Securities whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;


 


(g)    reduce
the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest (including default interest) on any Security;


 


(h)    reduce
the principal or change the Stated Maturity of any Security or reduce the amount of, or postpone the date fixed for, the payment
of any sinking fund or analogous obligation;


 


(i)    reduce
the principal amount of Discount Securities payable upon acceleration of the maturity thereof;


 


(j)    waive
a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of or interest, if any, on any Security (except a rescission of acceleration
of the Securities of any Series by the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such
Series and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);


 


(k)    make
the principal of or interest, if any, on any Security payable in any currency other than that stated in the Security;


 


(l)    make
any change in Sections 6.8, 6.13, or 9.3 (this sentence); or

Every amendment to
this Indenture or the Securities of one or more Series shall be set forth in a supplemental indenture hereto that complies with
the TIA as then in effect.


 


Section 9.5    Revocation
and Effect of Consents.


 


Until an amendment
is set forth in a supplemental indenture or a waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Security is a continuing
consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting
Holder’s Security, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Security. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder
may revoke the consent as to his Security or portion of a Security if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the
date of the supplemental indenture or the date the waiver becomes effective.


 




    	 	36	 



     


    

 


Any amendment or waiver
once effective shall bind every Securityholder of each Series affected by such amendment or waiver unless it is of the type described
in any of clauses (a) through (h) of Section 9.3. In that case, the amendment or waiver shall bind each Holder of a Security who
has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting
Holder’s Security.


 


Section 9.6    Notation
on or Exchange of Securities.


 


The Trustee may place
an appropriate notation about an amendment or waiver on any Security of any Series thereafter authenticated. The Company in exchange
for Securities of that Series may issue and the Trustee shall authenticate upon request new Securities of that Series that reflect
the amendment or waiver.


 


Section 9.7    Trustee
Protected.


 


In executing, or accepting
the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby of the trusts
created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 7.1) shall be fully protected in relying
upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture.

The provisions of this
Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of the Securities of a Series, except as otherwise permitted
or required by any form of Security of such Series issued pursuant to this Indenture.


 


The minimum amount
of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of the Securities of any Series is herein referred to as a “mandatory
sinking fund payment” and any other amount provided for by the terms of Securities of such Series is herein referred to as
an “optional sinking fund payment.” If provided for by the terms of Securities of any Series, the cash amount of any

redemption of Securities of any Series as provided for by the terms of the Securities of such Series.

Section 11.2    Satisfaction
Of Sinking Fund Payments With Securities.


 


The Company may, in
satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities of any Series to be made pursuant to
the terms of such Securities (1) deliver outstanding Securities of such Series to which such sinking fund payment is applicable
(other than any of such Securities previously called for mandatory sinking fund redemption) and (2) apply as credit Securities
of such Series to which such sinking fund payment is applicable and which have been repurchased by the Company or redeemed either
at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Series of Securities (except pursuant to any mandatory sinking fund)
or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments or other optional redemptions pursuant to the terms of such
Securities, provided that such Securities have not been previously so credited. Such Securities shall be received by the Trustee,
together with an Officers’ Certificate with respect thereto, not later than 15 days prior to the date on which the Trustee
begins the process of selecting Securities for redemption, and shall be credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the price specified
in such Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced
accordingly. If as a result of the delivery or credit of Securities in lieu of cash payments pursuant to this Section 11.2, the
principal amount of Securities of such Series to be redeemed in order to exhaust the aforesaid cash payment shall be less than
$100,000, the Trustee need not call Securities of such Series for redemption, except upon receipt of a Company Order that such
action be taken, and such cash payment shall be held by the Trustee or a Paying Agent and applied to the next succeeding sinking
fund payment, provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall from time to time upon receipt of a Company Order
pay over and deliver to the Company any cash payment so being held by the Trustee or such Paying Agent upon delivery by the Company
to the Trustee of Securities of that Series purchased by the Company having an unpaid principal amount equal to the cash payment
required to be released to the Company.


 


Section 11.3    Redemption
Of Securities For Sinking Fund.


 


Not less than 45 days
(unless otherwise indicated in the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture or Officers’ Certificate in respect of a particular
Series of Securities) prior to each sinking fund payment date for any Series of Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee
an Officers’ Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment for that Series pursuant
to the terms of that Series, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof,
if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting of Securities of that Series pursuant to Section 11.2, and the optional
amount, if any, to be added in cash to the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, and the Company shall thereupon be obligated
to pay the amount therein specified. Not less than 30 days (unless otherwise indicated in the Board Resolution, Officers’
Certificate or supplemental indenture in respect of a particular Series of Securities) before each such sinking fund payment date
the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 3.2
and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided
in Section 3.3. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner

or upon transfer, assignment or exchange thereof, accepts and agrees to be bound by such provisions.

The payment of the
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all Securities (including, but not limited to, the redemption price with respect
to the Securities called for redemption in accordance with Article 3 as provided in the Indenture) issued hereunder shall, to the
extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, be subordinated and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of
all Senior Indebtedness, whether outstanding at the date of this Indenture or thereafter incurred.


 


No provision of this
Article XII shall prevent the occurrence of any default or Event of Default hereunder.


 


Section 12.2    Payments
to Holders.


 


No payment shall be
made with respect to the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on the Securities (including, but not limited to, the redemption
price with respect to the Securities to be called for redemption in accordance with Article III as provided in the Indenture),
except payments and distributions made by the Trustee as permitted by the first or second paragraph of Section 12.5, if:


 


(c)    a
default in the payment of principal, premium, interest, rent or other obligations due on any Senior Indebtedness occurs and is
continuing (or, in the case of Senior Indebtedness for which there is a period of grace, in the event of such a default that continues
beyond the period of grace, if any, specified in the instrument or lease evidencing such Senior Indebtedness), unless and until
such default shall have been cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist; or


 


(d)    a
default, other than a payment default, on a Designated Senior Indebtedness occurs and is continuing that then permits holders of
such Designated Senior Indebtedness to accelerate its maturity and the Trustee receives a notice of the default (a “Payment
Blockage Notice”) from a Representative or the Company.


 


If the Trustee receives
any Payment Blockage Notice pursuant to clause (ii) above, no subsequent Payment Blockage Notice shall be effective for purposes
of this Section unless and until (A) at least 365 days shall have elapsed since the initial effectiveness of the immediately prior
Payment Blockage Notice, and (B) all scheduled payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities that have
come due have been paid in full in cash. No nonpayment default that existed or was continuing on the date of delivery of any Payment
Blockage Notice to the Trustee shall be, or be made, the basis for a subsequent Payment Blockage Notice.


 


The Company may and
shall resume payments on and distributions in respect of the Securities upon the earlier of:


 


(1)    the
date upon which the default is cured or waived or ceases to exist, or


 


(2)    in
the case of a default referred to in clause (ii) above, 179 days pass after notice is received if the maturity of such Designated
Senior Indebtedness has not been accelerated, unless this Article XII otherwise prohibits the payment or distribution at the time
of such payment or distribution.


 




    	 	42	 



     


    

 


Upon any payment by
the Company, or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to creditors
upon any dissolution or winding-up or liquidation or reorganization of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary or in bankruptcy,
insolvency, receivership or other proceedings, all amounts due or to become due upon all Senior Indebtedness shall first be paid
in full in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, or payment thereof in accordance with
its terms provided for in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, before any payment is
made on account of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Securities (except payments made pursuant to Article VI
from monies deposited with the Trustee pursuant thereto prior to commencement of proceedings for such dissolution, winding-up,
liquidation or reorganization); and upon any such dissolution or winding-up or liquidation or reorganization of the Company or
bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other proceeding, any payment by the Company, or distribution of assets of the Company
of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to which the Holders of the Securities or the Trustee would
be entitled, except for the provision of this Article XII, shall (except as aforesaid) be paid by the Company or by any receiver,
trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, or by the Holders of the
Securities or by the Trustee under this Indenture if received by them or it, directly to the holders of Senior Indebtedness (pro
rata to such holders on the basis of the respective amounts of Senior Indebtedness held by such holders, or as otherwise required
by law or a court order) or their representative or representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant
to which any instruments evidencing any Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, to
the extent necessary to pay all Senior Indebtedness in full, in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of such Senior
Indebtedness, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of Senior Indebtedness, before
any payment or distribution or provision therefor is made to the Holders of the Securities or to the Trustee.


 


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


 




    	 	43	 



     


    

 


In the event of the
acceleration of the Securities because of an Event of Default, no payment or distribution shall be made to the Trustee or any Holder
of Securities in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Securities (including, but not limited to, the
redemption price with respect to the Securities called for redemption in accordance with Article 3 as provided in the Indenture),
except payments and distributions made by the Trustee as permitted by the first or second paragraph of Section 12.5, until all
Senior Indebtedness has been paid in full in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of Senior Indebtedness or such acceleration
is rescinded in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. If payment of the Securities is accelerated because of an Event of
Default, the Company shall promptly notify holders of Senior Indebtedness of the acceleration at the address set forth in the notice
from the Agent (or successor agent) to the Trustee as being the address to which the Trustee should send its notice pursuant to
this Section 12.2, unless there are no payment obligations of the Company thereunder and all obligations thereunder to extend credit
have been terminated or expired.


 


In the event that,
notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether
in cash, property or securities (including, without limitation, by way of setoff or otherwise), prohibited by the foregoing, shall
be received by the Trustee or the Holders of the Securities before all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full in cash or other payment
satisfactory to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, or provision is made for such payment thereof in accordance with its terms
in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, such payment or distribution shall be held in
trust for the benefit of and shall be paid over or delivered to the holders of Senior Indebtedness or their representative or representatives,
or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing any Senior Indebtedness may have
been issued, as their respective interests may appear, as calculated by the Company, for application to the payment of all Senior
Indebtedness remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Indebtedness in full in cash or other payment satisfactory
to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders
of such Senior Indebtedness.


 


Nothing in this Section
12.2 shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 7.7. This Section 12.2 shall be subject
to the further provisions of Section 12.5.


 


Section 12.3    Subrogation
of Securities.


 


Subject to the payment
in full of all Senior Indebtedness, the rights of the Holders of the Securities shall be subrogated to the extent of the payments
or distributions made to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness pursuant to the provisions of this Article XII (equally and ratably
with the holders of all indebtedness of the Company which by its express terms is subordinated to other indebtedness of the Company
to substantially the same extent as the Securities are subordinated and is entitled to like rights of subrogation) to the rights
of the holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions of cash, property or securities of the Company applicable
to the Senior Indebtedness until the principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities shall be paid in full; and, for
the purposes of such subrogation, no payments or distributions to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness of any cash, property
or securities to which the Holders of the Securities or the Trustee would be entitled except for the provisions of this Article
XII, and no payment over pursuant to the provisions of this Article XII, to or for the benefit of the holders of Senior Indebtedness
by Holders of the Securities or the Trustee, shall, as between the Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior Indebtedness,
and the Holders of the Securities, be deemed to be a payment by the Company to or on account of the Senior Indebtedness; and no
payments or distributions of cash, property or securities to or for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities pursuant to the
subrogation provisions of this Article XII, which would otherwise have been paid to the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be
deemed to be a payment by the Company to or for the account of the Securities. It is understood that the provisions of this Article
XII are and are intended solely for the purposes of defining the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities, on the one hand,
and the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, on the other hand.


 




    	 	44	 



     


    

 


Nothing contained in
this Article XII or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities is intended to or shall impair, as among the Company, its
creditors other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and the Holders of the Securities, the obligation of the Company, which
is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Holders of the Securities the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the
Securities as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or is intended to or shall affect
the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities and creditors of the Company other than the holders of the Senior Indebtedness,
nor shall anything herein or therein prevent the Trustee or the Holder of any Security from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted
by applicable law upon default under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article XII of the holders of Senior
Indebtedness in respect of cash, property or securities of the Company received upon the exercise of any such remedy.


 


Upon any payment or
distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article XII, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 7.1, and
the Holders of the Securities shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction in
which such bankruptcy, dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization proceedings are pending, or a certificate of the
receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other person making such payment or distribution, delivered to the
Trustee or to the Holders of the Securities, for the purpose of ascertaining the persons entitled to participate in such distribution,
the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon and all other
facts pertinent thereto or to this Article XII.


 


Section 12.4    Authorization
to Effect Subordination.


 


Each Holder of a Security
by the holder’s acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee on the holder’s behalf to take such action as
may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination as provided in this Article XII and appoints the Trustee to act
as the holder’s attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. If the Trustee does not file a proper proof of claim or proof
of debt in the form required in any proceeding referred to in Section 6.3 hereof at least 30 days before the expiration of the
time to file such claim, the holders of any Senior Indebtedness or their representatives are hereby authorized to file an appropriate
claim for and on behalf of the Holders of the Securities.


 




    	 	45	 



     


    

 


Section 12.5    Notice
to Trustee.


 


The Company shall give
prompt written notice in the form of an Officers’ Certificate to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee and to any paying agent
of any fact known to the Company which would prohibit the making of any payment of monies to or by the Trustee or any paying agent
in respect of the Securities pursuant to the provisions of this Article XII. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article XII
or any other provision of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts which would
prohibit the making of any payment of monies to or by the Trustee in respect of the Securities pursuant to the provisions of this
Article XII, unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof at the Corporate
Trust Office from the Company (in the form of an Officers’ Certificate) or a Representative or a holder or holders of Senior
Indebtedness or from any trustee thereof; and before the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee, subject to the provisions
of Section 7.1, shall be entitled in all respects to assume that no such facts exist; provided that if on a date not fewer than
two Business Days prior to the date upon which by the terms hereof any such monies may become payable for any purpose (including,
without limitation, the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on any Security) the Trustee shall not have
received, with respect to such monies, the notice provided for in this Section 12.5, then, anything herein contained to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such monies and to apply the same to the purpose for
which they were received, and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary which may be received by it on or after such
prior date.


 


Notwithstanding anything
in this Article XII to the contrary, nothing shall prevent any payment by the Trustee to the Holders of monies deposited with it
pursuant to Section 8.1, and any such payment shall not be subject to the provisions of Section 12.1 or 12.2.


 


The Trustee, subject
to the provisions of Section 7.1, shall be entitled to rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a Representative or a
person representing himself to be a holder of Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee on behalf of such holder) to establish that such
notice has been given by a Representative or a holder of Senior Indebtedness or a trustee on behalf of any such holder or holders.
In the event that the Trustee determines in good faith that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any person
as a holder of Senior Indebtedness to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article XII, the Trustee may
request such person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Senior Indebtedness held
by such person, the extent to which such person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and any other facts
pertinent to the rights of such person under this Article XII, and if such evidence is not furnished the Trustee may defer any
payment to such person pending judicial determination as to the right of such person to receive such payment.


 


Section 12.6    Trustee’s
Relation to Senior Indebtedness.


 


The Trustee in its
individual capacity shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article XII in respect of any Senior Indebtedness at
any time held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Senior Indebtedness, and nothing in Section 7.11 or elsewhere in
this Indenture shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder.


 


With respect to the
holders of Senior Indebtedness, the Trustee undertakes to perform or to observe only such of its covenants and obligations as are
specifically set forth in this Article XII, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness
shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders
of Senior Indebtedness and, subject to the provisions of Section 7.1, the Trustee shall not be liable to any holder of Senior Indebtedness
if it shall pay over or deliver to Holders of Securities, the Company or any other person money or assets to which any holder of
Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this Article XII or otherwise.


 




    	 	46	 



     


    

 


Section 12.7    No
Impairment of Subordination.


 


No right of any present
or future holder of any Senior Indebtedness to enforce subordination as herein provided shall at any time in any way be prejudiced
or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such
holder, or by any noncompliance by the Company with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Indenture, regardless of any knowledge
thereof which any such holder may have or otherwise be charged with.


 


Section 12.8    Article
Applicable to Paying Agents.


 


If at any time any
Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall have been appointed by the Company and be then acting hereunder, the term “Trustee”
as used in this Article shall (unless the context otherwise requires) be construed as extending to and including such Paying Agent
within its meaning as fully for all intents and purposes as if such Paying Agent were named in this Article in addition to or in
place of the Trustee; provided, however, that the first paragraph of Section 12.5 shall not apply to the Company or any Affiliate
of the Company if it or such Affiliate acts as Paying Agent.


 


Section 12.9    Senior
Indebtedness Entitled to Rely.


 


The holders of Senior
Indebtedness (including, without limitation, Designated Senior Indebtedness) shall have the right to rely upon this Article XII,
and no amendment or modification of the provisions contained herein shall diminish the rights of such holders unless such holders
shall have agreed in writing thereto.
