2.2.15    any
addition to or change in the covenants set forth in Articles IV or V which applies to Securities of the Series;


 


2.2.16    any
other terms of the Securities of the Series (which may modify or delete any provision of this Indenture insofar as it applies to
such Series); and


 


2.2.17    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.


 




    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.


 


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.


 




    9 


     


    

 


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.


 




    10 


     


    

 


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.


 




    11 


     


    

 


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.


 




    12 


     


    

 


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
Of Securities. A Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officers’ Certificate shall establish whether the
Securities of a Series shall be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Securities and the Depository for
such Global Security or Securities.


 


2.14.2    Transfer
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.”


 




    13 


     


    

 


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.


 




    14 


     


    

 


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.


 


The notice shall identify
the Securities of the Series to be redeemed and shall state:


 


(a)    the
redemption date;


 


(b)    the
redemption price;


 


(c)    the
name and address of the Paying Agent;


 


(d)    that
Securities of the Series called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price;


 


(e)    that
interest on Securities of the Series called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date;


 


(f)    the
CUSIP number, if any; and


 


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


 


At the Company’s
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.


 




    15 


     


    

 


Section 3.5    Deposit
of Redemption Price.


 


On or before the redemption
date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest, if
any, on all Securities to be redeemed on that date.

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
or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder
(as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on an Officers’ Certificate).


 


Section 4.3    Compliance
Certificate.


 


The Company shall deliver

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

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.


 


Section 4.5    Corporate
Existence.


 


Subject to Article
V, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence
and the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be
required to preserve any such right, license or franchise if the Board of Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof
is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole and that the loss thereof
is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders.


 


Section 4.6    Taxes.


 


The Company shall pay
prior to delinquency all taxes, assessments and governmental levies, except as contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings.

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.


 




    19 


     


    

 


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.

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

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,

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,

to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

such Securities for principal and interest, respectively; and


 


Third: To the Company.

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

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,

the consent of such Holder.


 




    22 


     


    

 


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

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.

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

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

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

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

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).

the applicable Series may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

    31

Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company

intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any other creditors of the Company; and


 


(i)    the
Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions
precedent provided for relating to the defeasance contemplated by this Section have been complied with.

such Series of Securities or a Board Resolution or an Officers’ Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.2 (and the failure
to comply with any such covenants shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default with respect to such Series under Section
6.1) and the occurrence of any event specified in a supplemental indenture for such Series of Securities or a Board Resolution
or an Officers’ Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.2 and designated as an Event of Default shall not constitute

deposit and covenant defeasance had not occurred; and


 


(e)    The
Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions
precedent herein provided for relating to the covenant defeasance contemplated by this Section have been complied with.

ARTICLE
IX     

AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS


 


Section
9.1    Without Consent of Holders.



 


The Company and the
Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Securities of one or more Series without the consent of any Securityholder:


 


(d)    to
cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency;


 


(e)    to
comply with Article V;


 


(f)    to
provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated Securities;


 


(g)    to
make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Securityholder;


 


(h)    to
provide for the issuance of and establish the form and terms and conditions of Securities of any Series as permitted by this Indenture;


 


(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.


 




    34 


     


    

 


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


 


(m)    waive
a redemption payment with respect to any Security.


 


Section 9.4    Compliance
With Trust Indenture Act.


 


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.


 


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.


 




    35 


     


    

 


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 Trustee shall sign all supplemental indentures, except that the Trustee need not sign any supplemental indenture that adversely
affects its rights.

SINKING FUNDS


 


Section 11.1    Applicability
of Article.


 


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
sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 11.2. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the
redemption of Securities of any Series as provided for by the terms of the Securities of such Series.


 




    39 


     


    

 


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
stated in Sections 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6.
