Section 1.4. Notices, Etc., to Trustee and Company. 
 Any Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with: 

(1) the Trustee by any Holder or by the Company shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein
expressly provided) if made, given, furnished or filed in writing (including telecopy or e-mail) to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, Attention: Corporate Trust Administration; or 

  
 10 









 (2) the Company by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for
every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing (including telecopy) or mailed, first-class postage prepaid or airmail postage prepaid if sent from outside the United States, to the Company addressed to it at the
address of its principal office specified in the first paragraph of this instrument, to the attention of its Treasurer, or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company. 

The Trustee agrees to accept and act upon instructions or directions pursuant to this Indenture sent by e-mail, facsimile transmission or
other similar electronic methods. If the party elects to give the Trustee e-mail or facsimile instructions (or instructions by a similar electronic method) and the Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon such instructions, the Trustee’s
understanding of such instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee’s reliance upon and compliance with such instructions even if such
instructions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. The party providing electronic instructions agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to the
Trustee, including without limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk or interception and misuse by third parties. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, as long as the Debt Securities of any series are in the form of a Global Note, notice to the Holders may be made electronically in accordance
with procedures of the Depositary. 
 Any such Act or other document shall be in the English language, except that any published
notice may be in an official language of the country of publication. 
 Section 1.5. Notice to Holders; Waiver. 

When this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given to Holders (unless otherwise
herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, or transmitted by e-mail to such Holders as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register, within the time prescribed. 

In the event of suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give notice to Holders of
Debt Securities by mail or e-mail, such notification as shall be given with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute sufficient notice for every purpose hereunder. 
 Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the
equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance on such waiver. In any case where notice to Holders is given
by mail or e-mail, neither the failure to mail or e-mail such notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed or e-mailed to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders, and any notice which is
mailed or e-mailed in the manner herein provided shall be 

  
 11 









 
conclusively presumed to have been duly given. In any case where notice to Holders is given by publication, any defect in any notice so published as to any particular Holder shall not affect the
sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders, and any notice which is published in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given. 
 Section 1.6. Conflict With Trust Indenture Act. 
 This
Indenture is subject to, and shall be governed by, the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act. If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with the duties imposed on any person by the provisions of Sections 310 to 317, inclusive, of the
Trust Indenture Act, the duties imposed by the Trust Indenture Act shall control. If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with any provision of the Trust Indenture Act which is automatically deemed to be included in this Indenture by
any of the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, such provision of the Trust Indenture Act shall control. If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act which may be so modified or excluded, the
former provision shall be deemed to apply to this Indenture as so modified or excluded. 
 Section 1.7. Effect of Headings and
Table of Contents. 
 The Article and Section headings herein and in the Table of Contents are for convenience only and
shall not affect the construction hereof. 
 Section 1.8. Assignment; Successors and Assigns. 

The Company shall have the right at all times to assign any of its respective rights or obligations under this Indenture to a direct or
indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company, provided that, in the event of any such assignment, the Company shall remain primarily liable for all such obligations. All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the parties hereto shall bind
their respective successors and assigns and inure to the benefit of their permitted successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. 

Section 1.9. Separability Clause. 
 In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Debt Securities shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be
affected or impaired thereby.

 12 









 Section 1.12. Legal Holidays. 

Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.1 or in any Debt Security, in any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption
Date or Stated Maturity of any Debt Security of any series shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment for the Debt Securities of that series, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the Debt Securities) payment of
principal (and premium, if any) or interest need not be made at such Place of Payment on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date,
Redemption Date or at the Stated Maturity, and no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity, as the case may be, to such Business Day if such payment
is made or duly provided for on such Business Day (unless otherwise specified). 
 Section 1.13. No Security Interest Created.

 Nothing in this Indenture or in the Debt Securities, express or implied, shall be construed to constitute a security
interest under the Uniform Commercial Code or similar legislation, as now or hereafter enacted and in effect in any jurisdiction where property of the Company or its Subsidiaries is or may be located. 

Section 1.14. Liability Solely Corporate. 
 No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or the interest on any Debt Securities, or any part thereof, or of the indebtedness represented thereby, or upon any
obligation, covenant or agreement of this Indenture, against any incorporator, or against any shareholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Company (or any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director of any
predecessor or successor corporation), either directly or through the Company (or any such predecessor or successor corporation), whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or
otherwise; it being expressly agreed and understood that this Indenture and all the Debt Securities are solely corporate obligations, and that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to, or be incurred by, any such incorporator, shareholder,
officer or director, past, present or future, of the Company (or any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director of any such predecessor or successor corporation), either directly or indirectly through the Company or any such predecessor or
successor corporation, because of the indebtedness hereby authorized or under or by reason of any of the obligations, covenants, promises or agreements contained in this Indenture or in any of the Debt Securities or to be implied herefrom or
therefrom; and that any such personal liability is hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as part of the consideration for, the execution of this Indenture and the issue of Debt Securities; provided, however, that nothing herein
or in the Debt Securities contained shall be taken to prevent recourse to and the enforcement of the liability, if any, of any shareholder or subscriber to capital stock upon or in respect of the shares of capital stock not fully paid.

EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE TRUSTEE HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO

Authentication, Delivery and Dating. 
 The Debt Securities of any series shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its
Chairman, a Vice Chairman, its President, one of its Vice Presidents or its Treasurer. The signature of any of these officers may be manual or facsimile. 
 Debt Securities bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of
them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Debt Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such Debt Securities. 
 At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Debt Securities of any series, executed by the Company, to the Trustee for authentication,
together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Debt Securities and the Trustee in accordance with the Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Debt Securities. If all the Debt Securities of any one series are not
to be issued at one time and if a Board Resolution or the Officers’ Certificate or other document pursuant to a Board Resolution or supplemental indenture relating to such series shall so permit, such Company Order may set forth procedures
acceptable to the Trustee for the issuance of such Debt Securities and for the determination of the terms thereof, such as interest rate, Stated Maturity, date of issuance and date from which interest, if any, shall accrue. 

The Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 6.1) shall be fully protected in relying upon, prior to the
authentication and delivery of the Debt Securities of such series, (i) the supplemental indenture or the Board Resolution by or pursuant to which the form and terms of such Debt Securities have been approved and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel
substantially to the effect that: 
 (1) the Company Order furnished by the Company to the Trustee in connection
with the authentication and delivery of such Debt Securities conforms to the requirements of this Indenture and constitutes sufficient authority hereunder for the Trustee to authenticate and deliver such Debt Securities; 

(2) the forms and terms (or, if applicable, the manner of determining the terms) of such Debt Securities are consistent
with the provisions of this Indenture; 

  
 19 









 (3) in the event that the forms or terms of such Debt Securities have been
established in a supplemental indenture, the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Company, such supplemental indenture has been duly executed and delivered by the
Company and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Trustee, is a valid and binding obligation enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting
creditors’ rights generally and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law) and subject to such other exceptions as counsel shall conclude do
not materially affect the rights of the Holders of such Debt Securities; 
 (4) the execution and delivery of
such Debt Securities have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Company and such Debt Securities (if to be issued at the time of delivery of such Company Order) have been duly executed and delivered by the Company and,
assuming due authentication by the Trustee and execution and delivery by the Company (if to be issued after delivery of such Company Order in accordance with the foregoing procedures), are valid and binding obligations enforceable against the
Company in accordance with their terms, entitled to the benefit of the Indenture, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of
equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law) and subject to such other exceptions as counsel shall conclude do not materially affect the rights of the Holders of such Debt Securities; and 

(5) the amount of Debt Securities Outstanding of such series, together with the amount of such Debt Securities, does not
exceed any limit established under the terms of this Indenture on the amount of Debt Securities of such series that may be authenticated and delivered. 
 The Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Debt Securities if the issuance of such Debt Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities
under the Debt Securities and this Indenture in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.

Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. 
 No Debt Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this
Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Debt Security a certificate of authentication substantially in one of the forms provided for herein duly executed by an authorized signatory of the Trustee or by an
Authenticating Agent, and such certificate upon any Debt Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Debt Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Debt Security shall have been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver 

  
 20 









 
such Debt Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 3.8 together with a written statement (which need not comply with Section 1.2) stating that such Debt Security
has never been issued and sold by the Company, for all purposes of this Indenture such Debt Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. 

Section 3.4. Temporary Debt Securities; Global Notes Representing Debt Securities. 

(a) Pending the preparation of definitive Debt Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Debt Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination for Debt Securities of such series, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Debt
Securities in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Debt Securities may determine, as conclusively evidenced by their execution of such Debt
Securities. Every such temporary Debt Security shall be executed by the Company and shall be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with the same effect, as the definitive Debt
Securities in lieu of which they are issued. 
 Except in the case of temporary Debt Securities in global form (which shall be
exchanged in accordance with the provisions of the following paragraphs), if temporary Debt Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause definitive Debt Securities of such series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the
preparation of definitive Debt Securities of such series, the temporary Debt Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Debt Securities of such series, of a like Stated Maturity and with like terms and provisions, upon surrender
of the temporary Debt Securities of such series at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for such series, without charge to the Holder, except as provided in Section 3.5 in connection with a transfer. Upon surrender for
cancellation of any one or more temporary Debt Securities of any series, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Debt Securities of the same series of
authorized denominations and of a like Stated Maturity and like terms and provisions. Until so exchanged, the temporary Debt Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Debt
Securities of such series. 
 (b) If the Company shall establish pursuant to Section 3.1 that the Debt Securities of a
series are to be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Notes, then the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with Section 3.3 and the Company Order with respect to such series, authenticate and
deliver one or more Global Notes that (i) shall represent and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series to be represented by one or more Global Notes,
(ii) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary for such Global Note or Notes or the nominee of such depositary, and (iii) shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect: “This Debt Security may not be transferred
except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such
successor Depositary, unless and until this Debt Security is exchanged in whole or in part for Debt Securities in definitive form.” 

  
 21 









 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section or Section 3.5, unless and until it
is exchanged in whole or in part for Debt Securities in definitive form, a Global Note representing all or a portion of the Debt Securities of a series may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary for such series to a nominee of such
depositary or by a nominee of such depositary to such depositary or another nominee of such depositary or by such depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary for such series or a nominee of such successor depositary. 

If at any time the Depositary for the Debt Securities of a series notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as
Depositary for the Debt Securities of such series or if at any time the Depositary for Debt Securities of a series shall no longer be a clearing agency registered and in good standing under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or other
applicable statute or regulation, the Company shall appoint a successor Depositary with respect to the Debt Securities of such series. If a successor Depositary for the Debt Securities of such series is not appointed by the Company within 90 days
after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such condition, the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of definitive Debt Securities of such series, will authenticate
and deliver, Debt Securities of such series in definitive form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Note or Notes representing such series in exchange for such Global Note or Notes. 

The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that the Debt Securities of any series issued in the form of one or more
Global Notes shall no longer be represented by such Global Note or Notes. In such event, the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of definitive Debt Securities of such series,
will authenticate and deliver, Debt Securities of such series in definitive form and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Note or Notes representing such series in exchange for such Global Note or Notes.

 If the Debt Securities of any series shall have been issued in the form of one or more Global Notes and if an Event of
Default with respect to the Debt Securities of such series shall have occurred and be continuing, the Company will promptly execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of definitive Debt Securities
of such series, will authenticate and deliver, Debt Securities of such series in definitive form and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Note or Notes representing such series in exchange for such Global Note
or Notes. 
 If specified by the Company pursuant to Section 3.1 with respect to Debt Securities of a series, the
Depositary for such series of Debt Securities may surrender a Global Note for such series of Debt Securities in exchange in whole or in part for Debt Securities of such series in definitive form on such terms as are acceptable to the Company and
such depositary. Thereupon, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, without charge: 

  
 22 









 (i) to each Person specified by the Depositary a new Debt Security or
Securities of the same series, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Person in an aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for such Person’s beneficial interest in the Global Note; and 

(ii) to the Depositary a new Global Note in a denomination equal to the difference, if any, between the principal amount
of the surrendered Global Note and the aggregate principal amount of Debt Securities delivered to Holders thereof. 
 Upon the
exchange of a Global Note for Debt Securities in definitive form, such Global Note shall be canceled by the Trustee. Debt Securities issued in exchange for a Global Note pursuant to this subsection (b) shall be registered in such names and in
such authorized denominations as the Depositary for such Global Note, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver such Debt Securities to the Persons in whose
names such Debt Securities are so registered. 
 No holder of any beneficial interest in any Global Note held on its behalf by a
Depositary (or its nominee) shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect to such Global Note or any Debt Security represented thereby, and such Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Trustee, and any agent of the Company or the
Trustee as the owner of such Global Note or any Debt Security represented thereby for all purposes whatsoever. None of the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of
the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Note or maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect
to any Global Note, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee, or any agent of the Company or the Trustee, from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by a Depositary or impair, as between a
Depositary and such holders of beneficial interest, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of the Depositary (or its nominees) as Holder of any Debt Security. 

Section 3.5. Registration, Transfer and Exchange. 
 (a) The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a register (the register maintained in such office or in any other office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment
being herein sometimes referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Debt Securities and of transfers and exchanges of Debt
Securities. Such Security Register shall be in written form in the English language or in any other form capable of being accurately and completely converted into such form within a reasonable time. The Trustee is hereby appointed “Security
Registrar” for the purpose of registering Debt Securities and registering transfers and exchanges of Debt Securities as herein provided; provided, however, that the Company may appoint co-Security Registrars unless the terms of any series of
Debt Securities provide otherwise. 

  
 23 









 Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Debt Security of any series at the office
or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee, one or more new Debt Securities of the same series of like aggregate principal
amount of such denominations as are authorized for Debt Securities of such series and of a like Stated Maturity and with like terms and conditions. 
 Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.4 and this Section 3.5, at the option of the Holder, Debt Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Debt Securities of the same series of like
aggregate principal amount and of a like Stated Maturity and with like terms and conditions, upon surrender of the Debt Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Debt Securities are surrendered for exchange, the Company shall
execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Debt Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 
 (b) All Debt Securities issued upon any transfer or exchange of Debt Securities shall be valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture,
as the Debt Securities surrendered for such transfer or exchange. 
 Every Debt Security presented or surrendered for transfer
or exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar, duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his
attorney duly authorized in writing. 
 No service charge will be made for any transfer or exchange of Debt Securities except as
provided in Section 3.6. The Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration, transfer or exchange of Debt Securities, other than those
expressly provided in this Indenture to be made at the Company’s own expense or without expense or without charge to the Holders and other than in connection with the exchange of a Global Note for Debt Securities in definitive form pursuant to
Section 3.4(b). 
 The Company shall not be required (i) to register, transfer or exchange Debt Securities of any
series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the transmission of a notice of redemption of Debt Securities of such series selected for redemption under Section 12.3 and ending at the close of business on
the day of such transmission, or (ii) to register, transfer or exchange any Debt Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Debt Security being redeemed in part. 

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

If (i) any mutilated Debt Security is surrendered to the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, or (ii) the Company and the
Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Debt Security, and there is delivered to the Company and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be satisfactory by them to save each of them and any
Paying Agent harmless, and neither the Company nor the Trustee receives notice that such Debt Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, then the Company shall execute and upon 

  
 24 









 
Company Request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Debt Security, a new Debt Security of the same series of
like Stated Maturity and with like terms and conditions and like principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously Outstanding, 
 In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Debt Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Debt Security, pay the
amount due on such Debt Security in accordance with its terms. 
 Upon the issuance of any new Debt 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 respect thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. 

Every new Debt Security of any series issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of
the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Debt 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 Debt 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 Debt Securities. 

Section 3.7. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved. 
 (a) Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 with respect to the Debt Securities of any series, interest on any Debt Security which is payable and is punctually paid or duly provided
for on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Debt Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest notwithstanding the
cancellation of such Debt Security upon any transfer or exchange subsequent to the Regular Record Date. Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 with respect to the Debt Securities of any series, payment of interest on Debt
Securities shall be made at the place or places specified pursuant to Section 3.1 or, at the option of the Company, by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register or, if
provided pursuant to Section 3.1, by wire transfer to an account designated by the Holder by the Regular Record Date. 

(b) Any interest on any Debt Security which is payable but is not punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date
(herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of his having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in
each case, as provided in clause (1) or (2) below: 
 (1) The Company may elect to make payment of any
Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names such Debt Securities (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record 

  
 25 









 
Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be
paid on each such Debt Security and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall
make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided.
Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which date shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the
receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted
Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Holders of such Debt Securities at their addresses as they appear in the Security Register, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date.
Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names such Debt Securities (or their respective Predecessor
Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (2). 
 (2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on Debt Securities in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Debt Securities may
be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. 

(c) Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Debt Security delivered under this Indenture upon transfer of or in
exchange for or in lieu of any other Debt Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Debt Security. 
 Section 3.8. Cancellation. 
 Unless otherwise specified
pursuant to Section 3.1 for Debt Securities of any series, all Debt Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, transfer, exchange or credit against any sinking fund shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered
to the Trustee. All Debt Securities so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Debt Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company
may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Debt Securities previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has


  
 26 









 
not issued, and all Debt Securities so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee. No Debt Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Debt Securities canceled as
provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Debt Securities held by the Trustee shall be disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its customary procedures. The acquisition of any Debt Securities by
the Company shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented thereby unless and until such Debt Securities are surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation. 
 Section 3.9. Computation of Interest. 
 Except as otherwise
specified pursuant to Section 3.1 for Debt Securities of any series, interest on the Debt Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 

Section 3.10. Currency of Payments in Respect of Debt Securities. 

Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.1 for Debt Securities of any series, payment of the principal of (and premium, if
any) and any interest on any Debt Security of such series will be made in Dollars. 
 Section 3.11. CUSIP Numbers.

 The Company in issuing the Debt Securities of any series 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 Debt Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Debt Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission
of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers. 

ARTICLE IV. 

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE 

Section 4.1. Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. 
 This Indenture, with respect to the Debt Securities of any series (if all series issued under this Indenture are not to be affected), shall, upon Company Request, cease to be of further effect with
respect to any series of Debt Securities specified in such Company Request (except as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of such Debt Securities herein expressly provided for and rights to receive payments of principal
(and premium, if any) and interest on such Debt Securities) and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to such series of Debt Securities,
when: 

  
 27 









 (1) either 

(A) all Debt Securities of such series theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (i) Debt Securities of
such series which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 3.6 and (ii) Debt Securities of such series for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and
held in trust with the Trustee or any Paying Agent by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 11.4) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or 

(B) all Debt Securities of such series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, 

(i) have become due and payable by reason of the giving of a notice of redemption or otherwise, or 

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

(iii) are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of
notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company, 
 and the Company either complies with any
other condition or terms specified pursuant to Section 3.1, or if not so specified in the case of (i), (ii) or (iii) of this subclause (B), has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds held in
trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in United States Dollars in an amount, U.S. Government Obligations (as defined in Section 14.2) which through the payment of interest and principal in respect thereof in accordance with their
terms will provide, not later than one day before the due date of any payment, money in an amount, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire
indebtedness on such Debt Securities not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium, if any and accrued interest to the date of such deposit (in the case of Debt Securities which have become due and payable) or to the Stated
Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be; 
 (2) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums
payable hereunder by the Company; and 
 (3) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to such series have been complied with. 

  
 28 









 Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the obligations of the Company to the
Trustee under Section 6.7, and if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (B) of clause (1) of this Section, the obligations of the Trustee under Section 4.2 and the last paragraph of
Section 11.4, shall survive such satisfaction and discharge. 
 Section 4.2. Application of Trust Money, Etc.

 The Trustee and any Paying Agent shall promptly pay or return to the Company upon Company Request any moneys or U.S.
Government Obligations held by them at any time that are not required for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Debt Securities of any series for which money or U.S. Government Obligations have been deposited
pursuant to Section 4.1. 
 Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 11.4, all money deposited with
the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.1 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Debt Securities, if any, and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the
Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee. 

The Company shall pay and shall indemnify the Trustee for any series of Debt Securities against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on
or assessed against U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 4.1 or the interest and principal received in respect of such U.S. Government Obligations other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is payable by or
on behalf of Holders. The obligation of the Company under this Section 4.2 shall be deemed to be an obligation of the Company under Section 6.7. 
 ARTICLE V.

Indenture (other than a covenant or warranty a default in whose performance or whose breach is elsewhere in this Section specifically dealt with or which expressly has been included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of Debt Securities of a
series other than such series), and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 90 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least

(7) any other Event of Default specified with respect to Debt Securities of that series pursuant to Section 3.1.

 Section 5.2. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. 

Unless otherwise provided with respect to Debt Securities of any series pursuant to Section 3.1, if an Event of Default with respect
to Debt Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then in every such case, unless the principal of all Debt 

  
 30 









 
Securities shall have already become due and payable, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series may declare the
principal amount (or, if any Debt Securities of such series are Discount Securities or indexed securities, such portion of the principal amount of such Discount Securities as may be specified in the terms of such Discount Securities or indexed
securities) of all the Debt Securities of such 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) plus
accrued and unpaid interest (and premium, if payable) shall become immediately due and payable. Upon payment of such amount, all obligations of the Company in respect of the payment of principal of (and premium, if payable) and interest on the Debt
Securities of such series shall terminate. 
 At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to Debt
Securities of any series has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article V provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt
Securities of such series, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if 
 (1) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay in the Currency in which Debt Securities of such series are payable: 

(A) all overdue installments of interest on all Debt Securities of such series, 

(B) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Debt Securities of such series which have become due otherwise than by
such declaration of acceleration and interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Debt Securities, 
 (C) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue installments of interest on each Debt Security of such series at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Debt
Securities or, if no such rate or rates are so prescribed, at the rate borne by the Debt Securities during the period of such default, and 
 (D) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel; provided, however, that all sums
payable under this clause (D) shall be paid in Dollars; 
 and 

(2) All Events of Default with respect to Debt Securities of such series, other than the nonpayment of the principal of
Debt Securities of such series which has become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.13. 

  
 31 









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

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

The Company covenants that if 
 (1) default is made in the payment of any installment of interest on any Debt Security when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, 

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

 (3) default is made in the making or satisfaction of any sinking fund payment or analogous obligation when
the same becomes due pursuant to the terms of the Debt Securities of any series, and such default continues for a period of 30 days, 
 the
Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such Debt Securities, the amount then due and payable on such Debt Securities, for the principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, and, to the extent
that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest upon the overdue principal (and premium, if any) and upon overdue installments of interest, at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Debt Securities or, if no such rate or
rates are so prescribed, at the rate borne by the Debt Securities during the period of such default; 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
amount 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, and may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree,
and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon such Debt Securities, and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon such
Debt Securities wherever situated. 
 If an Event of Default with respect to Debt 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 Debt 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 5.4. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

voluntary or involuntary case under the Federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted, relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Debt Securities, of a particular series or
all or substantially all of the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of such Debt Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration of
acceleration 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,

 (i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal (or, if the Debt Securities of such series
are Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be due and payable with respect to such series pursuant to a declaration in accordance with Section 5.2) (and premium, if any) and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the
Debt Securities of such series 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 of such Debt Securities allowed in such judicial proceeding, and 
 (ii) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any receiver, assignee, trustee, custodian, liquidator, sequestrator (or
other similar official) in any such proceeding is hereby authorized by each such 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 such Holders, to pay to the
Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.7. 

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 Debt Securities of such series 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 5.5. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Debt Securities. 

All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Debt Securities of any series may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee
without the possession of any of such Debt 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 Debt Securities in respect of which such

THIRD: The balance, if any, to the Company or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. 

Section 5.7. Limitation on Suits. 
 No Holder of any Debt Security of any series shall have any right to institute any action or proceeding, judicial or otherwise, at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise, with respect to this
Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator, custodian, sequestrator (or similar official) or for any other remedy hereunder, unless: 
 (1) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to such series, 

(2) the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series shall have
made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder, 
 (3) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request, 

(4) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any
such proceeding, and 
 (5) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee
during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such 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 

  
 34 









 
or prejudice the rights of any other such Holders or of the Holders of Outstanding Debt Securities of any other series, 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 of such Holders. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section 5.7, each and
every Holder of Debt Securities of any series and the Trustee for such series shall be entitled to such relief as can be given at law or in equity. 
 Section 5.8. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Debt Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if
any) and (subject to Section 3.7) interest on such Debt Security on the respective Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Debt Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement
of any such payment and interest thereon, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. 

Section 5.9. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. 
 If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined
adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions and rights
hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted. 
 Section 5.10. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. 
 Except as
otherwise expressly provided elsewhere in this Indenture, 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
prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 
 Section 5.11. Delay or Omission Not
Waiver. 
 No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder 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 any acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Indenture 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. 

  
 35 









 Section 5.12. Control By Holders. 

The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt 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 by this Indenture on the Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of such series, provided, that: 

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

(2) 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 or Responsible Officers of the Trustee, determine that the proceeding so directed would be unjustly prejudicial to the Holders of Debt Securities of such series not joining in
any such direction; and 
 (3) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not
inconsistent with such direction. 
 Section 5.13. Waiver of Past Defaults. 

The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of any series may on behalf of
the Holders of all the Debt Securities of any such series waive any past default hereunder with respect to such series and its consequences, except a default: 
 (1) in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Debt Security of such series, or in the payment of any sinking fund installment or analogous obligation with respect to the
Debt Securities of such series; or 
 (2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which pursuant to Article
X cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Debt Security of such series affected; provided that a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series may rescind and annul a
declaration of acceleration with respect to Debt Securities of a given series, as provided in Section 5.2. 
 Upon any such
waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, for every purpose of the Debt Securities of such series under this Indenture, but no such waiver shall
extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 Section 5.14. Undertaking for Costs.

 All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Debt 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 

  
 36 









 
the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit other than the Trustee 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 and expenses, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such
party litigant, but the provisions of this Section shall not apply 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 Debt
Securities of any series, or to any suit instituted by any Holder of a Debt Security for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on such Debt Security on or after the Stated Maturity or Maturities
expressed in such Debt Security (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date). 
 Section 5.15. Waiver of Stay
or Extension Laws. 
 The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist
upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the
Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and
permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

 (a) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default with respect to the Debt Securities of any series: 
 (1) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against
the Trustee; and 
 (2) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the
truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by
any provisions hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate
the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein). 
 (b) In case an Event of Default with respect to
Debt Securities of any series has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall, with respect to the Debt Securities of such series, 

  
 37 









 
exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the
circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs. 
 (c) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to
relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that: 
 (1) this subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of subsection (a) of this Section; 
 (2) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

 (3) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it
with respect to Debt Securities of any series in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series relating to the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture; 
 (4) the Trustee is under no obligation or duty to pay interest on or invest any funds deposited with it except as specifically provided in this Indenture, and all investment activities undertaken by the

shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing
that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. 
 (d)
Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section. 

(e) Any opinion required or permitted to be delivered to the Trustee hereunder may be addressed and delivered to the entity serving as
Trustee hereunder solely in its individual capacity and not in its capacity as Trustee, fiduciary or as representative of the holders of such Debt Securities issued by the Company. 
 Section 6.2. Notice of Defaults. 
 Within 90 days after the
occurrence of any default hereunder with respect to Debt Securities of any series, the Trustee shall give notice to all Holders of Debt Securities of such series of such default hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such default shall have been
cured 

  
 38 









 
or waived; provided, however, that, except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Debt Security of such series or in the payment of
any sinking fund installment with respect to Debt Securities of such series, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of directors and/or
Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determine that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders of Debt Securities of such series; and provided, further, that in the case of any default of the character specified in
Section 5.1(4) with respect to Debt Securities of such series no such notice to Holders shall be given until at least 90 days after the occurrence thereof. For the purpose of this Section, the term “default” means any event which is,
or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to Debt Securities of such series. 

Notice given pursuant to this Section 6.2 shall be transmitted by mail: 

(1) to all Holders, as the names and addresses of the Holders appear in the Security Register; and

 Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.1: 

(a) the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate,

direction; 

  
 39 









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

consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action; 

(j) the Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has
actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Debt Securities and this Indenture;

 40 









 Section 6.4. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Debt Securities. 

The recitals contained herein and in the Debt Securities, except the Trustee’s certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the
statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Debt Securities of any series. The Trustee shall not be
accountable for the use or application by the Company of any Debt Securities or the proceeds thereof. 
 Section 6.5. May
Hold Debt Securities. 
 The Trustee, any Paying Agent, the Security Registrar or any other agent of the Company, in its
individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Debt Securities, and, subject to Sections 6.8 and 6.13, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Paying Agent, Security
Registrar or such other agent. 
 Section 6.6. Money Held in Trust. 

Money held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by
law. Neither the Trustee nor any Paying Agent shall be under any liability for (i) interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed with the Company or (ii) losses resulting from currency fluctuations or any
investments made pursuant to 6.1(c)(4). 
 Section 6.7. Compensation and Reimbursement. 

The Company agrees: 
 (1) to pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation as the Company and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing for all services rendered by it hereunder (which compensation shall
not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust); 
 (2)
except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee in Dollars upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including
the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except to the extent any such expense, disbursement or advance shall be as may be attributable to its own negligence or bad faith; and 

(3) to indemnify in Dollars the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, damage or expense incurred
without negligence or bad faith on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust or performance of its duties hereunder, including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself against any
claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except to the extent that any such claim or liability shall be determined to have been caused by the Trustee’s own negligence or bad
faith. 

  
 41 









 As security for the performance of the obligations of the Company under this Section, the
Trustee shall have a claim prior to the Debt Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the payment of amounts due on particular Debt Securities. 

When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(5) or
Section 5.1(6), the expenses (including the reasonable charges and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency
or other similar law. 
 The obligations of the Company under this Section 6.7 to compensate and indemnify the Trustee for
expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness under this Indenture and shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 
 Section 6.8. Disqualification; Conflicting Interests. 
 If the
Trustee has or shall acquire any conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to the Debt Securities of any series, then, within 90 days after ascertaining that it has such conflicting interest, and if the default
to which such conflicting interest relates has not been cured or duly waived or otherwise eliminated before the end of such 90-day period, the Trustee shall either eliminate such conflicting interest or resign with respect to the Debt Securities of
such series, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture, and the Company shall take prompt steps to have a successor appointed, in the manner and with the effect
hereinafter specified in this Article. Nothing herein shall prevent the Trustee from filing with the Commission the application referred to in the penultimate paragraph of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act. There shall be excluded from
the operation of Section 310(b)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act any indenture or indentures under which other securities or certificates of interest or participation in other securities of the Company are outstanding if the requirements for such
exclusion set forth in Section 310(b)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act are met. 
 Section 6.9. Corporate Trustee Required;
Eligibility. 
 There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be a Corporation organized and doing business
under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $75,000,000, subject to supervision or
examination by Federal, State or District of Columbia authority. If such Corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes
of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. Neither the Company nor any Person directly or indirectly
controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Company shall serve as Trustee upon any Debt Securities. 

  
 42 









 Section 6.10. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor. 

(a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective
until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee under Section 6.11. 
 (b) The Trustee may resign at any time
with respect to the Debt Securities of one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 60 days after the giving of such
notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of such series. 

(c) The Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the Debt Securities of any series and a successor Trustee appointed by Act of
the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series, delivered to the Trustee and to the Company. If an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within
60 days after the giving of such notice of removal, the Trustee being removed may petition, at the expense of the Company, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of such
series. 
 (d) If at any time: 
 (1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 6.8 with respect to the Debt Securities of any series after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder
of a Debt Security of such series for at least six months, or 
 (2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible
under Section 6.9 with respect to the Debt Securities of any series and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder, or 

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

then, in any such case, (i) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee with respect to all Debt Securities, or (ii) subject to
Section 5.14, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Debt Security of any series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the
Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee for the Debt Securities of such series. 
 (e) If the Trustee shall resign,
be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, with respect to the Debt Securities of one or more series, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor


  
 43 









 
Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Debt Securities of that or those series (except as provided in Section 6.10(c)) (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed
with respect to the Debt Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of any particular series) and shall comply with the applicable requirements of
Section 6.11. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of any series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority
in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Trustee with
respect to the Debt Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the
Holders of such series and accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Debt Security of such series for at least six months may, subject to Section 5.14, on behalf of himself and all
others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of such series. 
 (f) The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of any series and each appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Debt
Securities of any series in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 1.5 to the Holders of Debt Securities of such series. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of such series
and the address of its Corporate Trust Office. 
 Section 6.11. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. 

(a) In the case of an appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to all Debt Securities, each such successor Trustee so
appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee,
without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee, but, on request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its
charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such
retiring Trustee hereunder, subject nevertheless to its claim, if any, provided for in Section 6.7. 
 (b) In case of the
appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of one or more series shall
execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (1) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each
successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee is not
retiring with 

  
 44 









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

(c) Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in
and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, as the case may be. 
 (d) No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article. 

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

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

 Section 6.13. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company. 

The Trustee shall comply with Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act. A Trustee who has resigned or been removed is subject to
Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act to the extent indicated therein. 
 Section 6.14. Appointment of Authenticating
Agent. 
 As long as any Debt Securities of a series remain Outstanding, upon a Company Request, there shall be an
authenticating agent (the “Authenticating Agent”) appointed, for such period as the Company shall elect, by the Trustee for such series of Debt Securities to act as its agent on its behalf and subject to its direction in connection with
the authentication and delivery of each series of Debt Securities for which it is serving as Trustee. Debt Securities of each such series authenticated by such Authenticating Agent shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be
valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by such Trustee. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Debt Securities of any series by the Trustee for such series or to the Trustee’s
Certificate of Authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee for such series by an Authenticating Agent for such series and a Certificate of Authentication executed on behalf of such
Trustee by such Authenticating Agent, except that only the Trustee may authenticate Debt Securities upon original issuance and pursuant to Section 3.6 hereof. Such Authenticating Agent shall at all times be a Corporation organized and doing
business under the laws of the United States of America or of any State, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $10,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by
Federal or State authority. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for purposes of this Section the combined capital and
surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section. 
 Any Corporation into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted, or with which it may be consolidated, or any Corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which any
Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any Corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate agency business of any Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be the Authenticating Agent with respect to all series of Debt Securities
for which it served as Authenticating Agent without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee for such series or such Authenticating Agent. 

The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent
and to the Company in the manner set forth in Section 1.4. Any Authenticating Agent may at any time, and if it shall cease to be eligible shall, resign by giving written notice of resignation to the applicable Trustee and to the Company. Upon
receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time any Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of 

  
 46 









 
this Section 6.14 with respect to one or more or all series of Debt Securities, the Trustee for such series shall upon Company Request appoint a successor Authenticating Agent, and the
Company shall provide notice of such appointment to all Holders of Debt Securities of such series in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 1.5. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall
become vested with all rights, powers, duties and responsibilities of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Authenticating Agent herein. The Company agrees to pay to the Authenticating Agent for each series from time
to time reasonable compensation for its services. The Authenticating Agent for the Debt Securities of any series shall have no responsibility or liability for any action taken by it as such at the direction of the Trustee for such series.

 If an appointment with respect to one or more series is made pursuant to this Section, the Debt Securities of such series may
have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternative certificate of authentication in the following form: 
 This is one of the series of Debt Securities issued under the within-mentioned Indenture.

disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of the Holders in accordance with Section 7.2(b), regardless of the source from which such information was derived, and that the Trustee shall not be held accountable by reason of
mailing of any material pursuant to a request made under Section 7.2(b). 
 Section 7.3. Reports by Trustee. 

Within 60 days after May 15 of each year, commencing with the later of May 15, 2012, or the first May 15 after the first

 Section 7.4. Reports by Company. 

Unless otherwise specified with respect to a particular series of Debt Securities pursuant to Section 3.1, the Company will:

 (1) file with the Trustee (unless such reports have been filed on EDGAR), after the Company has filed the
same with the Commission, copies of the annual and quarterly reports and of the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the Commission may from time to time by rules and regulations prescribe)
which the Company may be required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to deliver to the Trustee
any materials for which the Company has sought and obtained confidential treatment from the Commission; 
 (2)

Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not

 ARTICLE VIII. 
 CONCERNING THE HOLDERS 
 Section 8.1. Acts of Holders. 

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by
Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent or proxy duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action
shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein
sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Whenever in this 

  
 49 









 
Indenture it is provided that the Holders of a specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of any series may take any Act, the fact that the Holders of
such specified percentage have joined therein may be evidenced by the instrument or instruments executed by Holders in person or by agent or proxy appointed in writing. 
 The Company may, at its option, by Company Order, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders of registered Debt Securities entitled to give any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act solicited by the Company, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so; provided, however, that the Company may not fix a record date for the giving or making of any notice, declaration,
request or direction referred to in the next sentence. In addition, the Trustee may, at its option, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders of registered Debt Securities entitled to join in the giving or making of any Notice of
Default, any declaration of acceleration referred to in Section 5.2, any request to institute proceedings referred to in Section 5.7 or any direction referred to in Section 5.12. If any such record date is fixed, such request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, or such notice, declaration, request or direction, may be given before or after such record date, but only the Holders of registered Debt Securities of record at the close of business
on the record date shall be deemed to be Holders of registered Debt Securities for the purposes of determining (i) whether Holders of the requisite proportion of the Outstanding Debt Securities have authorized or agreed or consented to such Act
(and for that purpose the Outstanding registered Debt Securities shall be computed as of the record date) and/or (ii) which Holders of registered Debt Securities may revoke any such Act (notwithstanding Section 8.4); and any such Act, given as
aforesaid, shall be effective whether or not the Holders of registered Debt Securities which authorized or agreed or consented to such Act remain Holders of registered Debt Securities after such record date and whether or not the Debt Securities
held by such Holders remain Outstanding after such record date. 
 Section 8.2. Proof of Ownership; Proof of Execution of
Instruments by Holder. 
 The ownership of Debt Securities of any series shall be proved by the Security Register for such
series or by a certificate of the Security Registrar for such series. 
 Subject to the provisions of Sections 6.1 and 6.3,
proof of the execution of a writing appointing an agent or proxy and of the execution of any instrument by a Holder or his agent or proxy shall be sufficient and conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company if made in a manner satisfactory to
the Trustee. 
 The Trustee may in any instance require further or other proof with respect to any of the matters referred to in
this Section so long as the request is a reasonable one. 
 Section 8.3. Persons Deemed Owners. 

The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Debt Security is registered
as the owner of such Debt Security for the purpose of receiving payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 3.7) interest, if any, on such Debt Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such
Debt Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the 

  
 50 









 
Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. All payments made to any Holder, or upon his order, shall be valid, and, to the extent of the sum or sums paid, effectual to
satisfy and discharge the liability for moneys payable upon such Debt Security. 
 Section 8.4. Revocation of Consents; Future
Holders Bound. 
 At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section 8.1, of
the taking of any Act by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities specified in this Indenture in connection with such Act, any Holder of a Debt Security the number, letter or other distinguishing
symbol of which is shown by the evidence to be included in such Debt Securities, the Holders of which have consented to such Act, by filing written notice with the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office and upon proof of ownership as provided in
Section 8.2, may revoke such Act so far as it concerns such Debt Security. Except as aforesaid, any such Act taken by the Holder of any Debt Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of such Debt
Security and of any Debt Securities issued on transfer or in lieu thereof or in exchange or substitution therefor, irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Debt Security or such other Debt Securities.

 ARTICLE IX. 
 CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, CONVEYANCE, TRANSFER OR LEASE 
 Section 9.1. Company
May Consolidate, Etc., Only on Certain Terms. 
 The Company shall not consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or
not the Company is the surviving Corporation) or sell, assign, convey, transfer or lease substantially all of its properties and assets, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, to any Person, unless: 

(i) the Company is the surviving Corporation or the Corporation formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is
merged or the Person which acquires by conveyance or transfer, or which leases, the properties and assets of the Company substantially as an entirety shall be a Corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United States or any State or
territory thereof or the District of Columbia and shall expressly assume, by an indenture supplemental hereto, executed and delivered to the Trustee, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, the due and punctual payment of the principal of (and premium,
if any) and interest on all the Debt Securities and the performance of every covenant of this Indenture on the part of the Company to be performed or observed, including providing for conversion or exchange rights in accordance with the terms of the
Debt Securities; 
 (ii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Event of Default, and no event
which, after notice or lapse of time, or both, would become an Event of Default, shall have happened and be continuing; 

  
 51 









 (iii) unless the Company is the surviving Corporation, the Company has
delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease and such supplemental indenture, if any, comply with this Article and that all conditions
precedent herein provided for relating to such transaction have been complied with; and 
 (iv) such other
conditions as may be specified under Section 3.1 with respect to any series of Debt Securities have been complied with. 

Section 9.2. Successor Corporation Substituted. 
 Upon any consolidation with or merger into any other Corporation, or any conveyance, transfer or lease of substantially all of the assets of the Company in accordance with Section 9.1, the successor
corporation formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or to which such conveyance, transfer or lease is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under this Indenture
with the same effect as if such successor corporation had been named as the Company herein, and thereafter the predecessor Person (except in the case of a lease) shall be relieved of all obligations and covenants under this Indenture and the Debt
Securities. 
 ARTICLE X. 
 SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES 
 Section 10.1. Supplemental Indentures Without
Consent of Holders.

 (3) to add any additional
Events of Default (and if such Events of Default are to be applicable to less than all series, stating that such Events of Default are expressly being included solely to be applicable to such series); or

supplemental indenture would apply; or 
 (5) to secure the Debt Securities or to provide that any of the
Company’s obligations under any series of the Debt Securities shall be guaranteed and the terms and conditions for the release or substitution of such security or guarantee; or

(8) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor Trustee with respect to one or
more series of Debt Securities 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, pursuant to the requirements of
Sections 6.10 and 6.11; or 
 (9) to cure any ambiguity, or to correct or supplement any provision herein, or in
any supplemental indenture, which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision herein, to eliminate any conflict between the terms hereof and the Trust Indenture Act or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions

(10) to change conversion rights in accordance with Section 15.4; or 

(11) to make any change that does not adversely affect the interests of the holders of the Debt Securities in any

With the written consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such Series
affected by such supplemental indenture, by Act of said Holders delivered to the Company and the Trustee, the Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the
purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders under this Indenture of such Debt Securities; provided, however, that no

 It shall not be necessary for any Act of Holders under
this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof. 
 A supplemental indenture which changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Indenture with respect to one or more particular series of Debt Securities, or which modifies the rights of the
Holders of Debt Securities of such series with respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture of the Holders of Debt Securities of any other series.

 Section 11.1. Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest.

Unless otherwise specifically provided for with respect to any series of Debt Securities under Section 3.1, the Company will deliver

 Notwithstanding any term herein to the contrary, in no instance shall
the Trustee be under any duty or obligation (i) to maintain any office or to act in any capacity as an agent for any purpose under this Indenture (or any supplement hereto) outside the United States, or (ii) to act as a Paying Agent in
respect of any Currency other than Dollars. 
 The Company will cause each Paying Agent with respect to any series of Debt
Securities other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will: 

(1) hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on Debt Securities of
such series in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided; 
 (2) give the Trustee notice of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Debt Securities of such series) in the making of any payment of principal (and premium, if any) or interest on the
Debt Securities of such series; and 
 (3) at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the
written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent. 
 The Company may
at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent,
such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further
liability with respect to such money. 
 Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company,
in trust for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any Debt Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal (and premium, if any) or interest has become due and payable shall be paid
to the Company upon 

  
 57 









 
Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Debt Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the
Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying
Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be transmitted, in the manner and to the extent provided by Section 1.5, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date
specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company. 
 Section 11.5. Waiver of Certain Covenants. 
 The Company may
omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in any covenant specified pursuant to Section 3.1 to be applicable to the Debt Securities of any series and to be subject to this Section 11.5), with
respect to the Debt Securities of such series, except as otherwise provided pursuant to Section 3.1, with respect to the Debt Securities of such series if before the time for such compliance the Holders of at least a majority in principal
amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such term, provision or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect
such term, provision or condition except to the extent expressly so waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain
in full force and effect. 
 ARTICLE XII. 
 REDEMPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES 
 Section 12.1. Applicability of Article.

 Debt Securities of any series which are redeemable before their Maturity shall be redeemable in accordance with their
terms and (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.1 for Debt Securities of any series) in accordance with this Article. 

Section 12.2. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee. 
 The election of the Company to redeem any Debt Securities shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company, the Company shall, at least 30 days before the
Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date and of the principal amount of Debt Securities of such series to be redeemed. In the case of any
redemption of Debt Securities (a) prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Debt Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, or (b) pursuant to an election of the Company which is subject to
a condition specified in the terms of such Debt Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate evidencing compliance with such restrictions or condition. 

  
 58 









 Section 12.3. Selection by Trustee of Debt Securities to be Redeemed. 

Except in the case of a redemption in whole of the Debt Securities of such series, if less than all the Debt Securities of any series are
to be redeemed at the election of the Company, the particular Debt Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series not previously
called for redemption on a pro rata basis, by lot or such other method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption of portions (equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Debt
Securities of such series or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal amount of Debt Securities of such series in a denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination for Debt Securities of such series pursuant to Section 3.2,
provided that so long as any Debt Securities are in the Form of Global Notes, the particular Debt Securities to be redeemed will be made by the Depositary in accordance with its applicable procedures. The portions of the principal amount of Debt
Securities so selected for partial redemption shall be equal to the minimum authorized denominations for Debt Securities of such series pursuant to Section 3.2 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, except as otherwise set forth
in the applicable form of Debt Securities. In any case when more than one Debt Security of such series is registered in the same name, the Trustee in its discretion may treat the aggregate principal amount so registered as if it were represented by
one Debt Security of such series. 
 The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Debt Securities selected
for redemption and, in the case of any Debt Securities selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. 
 If any Debt Security selected for partial redemption is converted in part before the Redemption Date, the converted portion of such Debt Security shall be deemed, to the fullest extent practicable, to be
the portion selected for redemption. Debt Securities which have been converted during a selection of Debt Securities to be redeemed may be treated by the Trustee as Outstanding for the purpose of such selection. 

For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Debt Securities
shall relate, in the case of any Debt Security redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Debt Security which has been or is to be redeemed. 
 Section 12.4. Notice of Redemption. 
 Notice of redemption
shall be given by the Company, or at the Company’s request delivered at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date such notice is to be given to the Holders (unless a shorter period shall be acceptable to the Trustee), by the Trustee
in the name and at the expense of the Company, at least 30 days and not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date to the Holders of Debt Securities of any series to be redeemed in whole or in part pursuant to this Article XII, in the manner
provided in Section 1.5. Any notice so given shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. Failure to give such notice, or any defect in such notice to the Holder of any Debt Security of
a series designated for redemption, in whole or in part, shall not affect the sufficiency of any notice of redemption with respect to the Holder of any other Debt Security of such series. 

  
 59 









 All notices of redemption shall state: 

(1) the Redemption Date; 
 (2) the Redemption Price or, if not then ascertainable, the manner of calculation thereof; 
 (3) that Debt Securities of such series are being redeemed by the Company pursuant to provisions contained in this Indenture or the terms of the Debt Securities of such series or a supplemental indenture
establishing such series, if such be the case, together with a brief statement of the facts permitting such redemption; 
 (4) if less than all Outstanding Debt Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the principal amounts) of the particular Debt Securities to
be redeemed; 
 (5) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each such
Debt Security to be redeemed, and that interest thereon, if any, shall cease to accrue on and after said date; 

(6) the Place or Places of Payment where such Debt Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price;
and 
 (7) that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case. 

Section 12.5. Deposit of Redemption Price. 
 On or prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Redemption Date for any Debt Securities, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own
Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 11.4) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of such Debt Securities or any portions thereof which are to be redeemed on that date. 

Section 12.6. Debt Securities Payable on Redemption Date. 
 Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, any Debt Securities so to be redeemed shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date at the Redemption Price, and from and after such date (unless
the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price) such Debt Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Debt Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Debt Security shall be paid by the
Company at the Redemption Price; provided that, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1, installments of interest on Debt Securities which have a Stated Maturity on or prior to the Redemption Date for such Debt Securities
shall be payable according to the terms of such Debt Securities and the provisions of Section 3.7. 

  
 60 









 If any Debt Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for
redemption, the principal (and premium, if any) shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed therefor in the Debt Security. 
 Section 12.7. Debt Securities Redeemed in Part. 
 Any Debt
Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at the Corporate Trust Office or such other office or agency of the Company as is specified pursuant to Section 3.1 with, if the Company, the Security Registrar or the Trustee
so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, the Security Registrar and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and the Company shall
execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Debt Security without service charge, a new Debt Security or Debt Securities of the same series, of like tenor and form, of any authorized denomination as requested by
such Holder in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Debt Security so surrendered. In the case of a Debt Security providing appropriate space for such notation, at the option of the
Holder thereof, the Trustee, in lieu of delivering a new Debt Security or Debt Securities as aforesaid, may make a notation on such Debt Security of the payment of the redeemed portion thereof. 

Section 12.8. Conversion Arrangement in Call for Redemption. 
 In connection with any redemption of Debt Securities of any series which are convertible, the Company may arrange for the purchase and conversion of any such Debt Securities by an agreement with one or
more investment bankers or other purchasers to purchase such Debt Securities by paying to the Trustee or the Paying Agent in trust for the Holders of such Debt Securities, on or before 10:00 a.m. New York time on the Redemption Date, an amount not
less than the Redemption Price, in immediately available funds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article XII, the obligation of the Company to pay the Redemption Price of such Debt Securities, including all accrued
interest, if any, shall be deemed to be satisfied and discharged to the extent such amount is so paid by such purchasers. If such an agreement is entered into, any Debt Securities not duly surrendered for conversion by the Holders thereof, at the
option of the Company, may be deemed, to the fullest extent permitted by law, acquired by such purchasers from such Holders and surrendered by such purchasers for conversion, all as of immediately prior to the close of business on the last Business
Day on which such Debt Securities called for redemption may be converted in accordance with this Indenture and the terms of such Debt Securities, subject to payment to the Trustee or Paying Agent of the above-described amount. The Trustee or the
Paying Agent shall hold and pay to the Holders whose Debt Securities are selected for redemption any such amount paid to it in the same manner as it would pay funds deposited with it by the Company for the redemption of Debt Securities of such
series. Without the Trustee’s and the Paying Agent’s prior written consent, no arrangement between the Company and such purchasers for the purchase and conversion of any Securities shall increase or otherwise affect any of the powers,
duties, responsibilities or obligations of the Trustee and the Paying Agent as set forth in this Indenture.

 ARTICLE XIII. 
 SINKING FUNDS 
 Section 13.1. Applicability of Article. 

The provisions of this Article XIII shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of Debt Securities of a series except as
otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.1 for Debt Securities of such series. 
 The minimum amount of any sinking fund
payment provided for by the terms of Debt Securities of any series is herein referred to as a “mandatory sinking fund payment,” and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of Debt Securities of any series is
herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment.” If provided for by the terms of Debt Securities of any series, the amount of any cash sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 13.2. Each sinking
fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Debt Securities of any series as provided for by the terms of Debt Securities of such series. 
 Section 13.2. Satisfaction of Mandatory Sinking Fund Payments with Debt Securities. 
 In lieu of making all or any part of a mandatory sinking fund payment with respect to any Debt Securities of a series in cash, the Company may at its option, at any time no more than sixteen months and no
less than 45 days prior to the date on which such sinking fund payment is due, deliver to the Trustee Debt Securities of such series theretofore purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company, except Debt Securities of such series which have been
redeemed through the application of mandatory sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of the Debt Securities of such series, accompanied by a Company Order instructing the Trustee to credit such obligations and stating that the Debt Securities
of such series were originally issued by the Company by way of bona fide sale or other negotiation for value, provided that such Debt Securities shall not have been previously so credited. Such Debt Securities shall be received and credited for such
purpose by the Trustee at the Redemption Price specified in such Debt Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such mandatory sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly. 

Section 13.3. Redemption of Debt Securities for Sinking Fund. 
 Not less than 45 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any series of Debt Securities (unless a shorter period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), the Company will deliver to the Trustee an
Officers’ Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing 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 Debt Securities of such series pursuant to Section 13.2 and whether the Company intends to exercise its rights to make a permitted optional sinking fund payment with respect to such series.
Such certificate shall be irrevocable and upon its delivery the Company shall be obligated to make the cash payment or payments therein referred to, if any, on or before the next succeeding sinking fund payment date. In the case of the failure of
the Company to 

  
 62 









 
deliver such certificate, the sinking fund payment due on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date for such series shall be paid entirely in cash and shall be sufficient to redeem the
principal amount of the Debt Securities of such series subject to a mandatory sinking fund payment without the right to deliver or credit Debt Securities as provided in Section 13.2 and without the right to make any optional sinking fund
payment with respect to such series at such time. 
 If the sinking fund payment or payments (mandatory or optional or both) to
be made in cash on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date plus any unused balance of any preceding sinking fund payments made in cash shall exceed $50,000 (or a lesser sum if the Company shall so request with respect to the Debt Securities of
any series), such cash shall be applied on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date to the redemption of Debt Securities of such series at the sinking fund redemption price thereof together with accrued interest thereon to the date fixed for
redemption. If such amount shall be $50,000 (or such lesser sum) or less and the Company makes no such request then it shall be carried over until a sum in excess of $50,000 (or such lesser sum) is available. 

Any sinking fund payment or payments (mandatory or optional) made in cash plus any unused balance of any preceding sinking fund payments
made with respect to the Debt Securities of any particular series shall, subject to the preceding paragraph, be applied by the Trustee (to the extent it is acting as a Paying Agent with respect to Dollars) or other Paying Agent appointed by the
Company (or by the Company if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent) on the sinking fund payment date on which such payment is made (or, if such payment is made before a sinking fund payment date, on the sinking fund payment date immediately
following the date of such payment) to the redemption of Debt Securities of such series at the Redemption Price specified in such Debt Securities with respect to the sinking fund. Any sinking fund moneys not so applied or allocated by the Trustee
(to the extent it is acting as a Paying Agent with respect to Dollars) or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company (or by the Company if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent) to the redemption of Debt Securities shall be added to the
next sinking fund payment received by the Trustee (to the extent it is acting as a Paying Agent with respect to Dollars) or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company (or if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregated and held in
trust as provided in Section 11.4) for such series and, together with such payment (or such amount so segregated) shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of this Section. Any and all sinking fund moneys with respect to the Debt
Securities of any particular series held by the Trustee (to the extent it is acting as a Paying Agent with respect to Dollars) or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company (or if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregated and held
in trust as provided in Section 11.4) on the last sinking fund payment date with respect to Debt Securities of such series and not held for the payment or redemption of particular Debt Securities of such series shall be applied by the Trustee
(to the extent it is acting as a Paying Agent with respect to Dollars) or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company (or by the Company if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent), together with other moneys, if necessary, to be deposited (or
segregated) sufficient for the purpose, to the payment of the principal of the Debt Securities of such series at Maturity. 

  
 63 









 The Trustee shall select or cause to be selected the Debt Securities to be redeemed upon
such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 12.3 and the Company shall cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the manner provided in Section 12.4. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of
such Debt Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Section 12.6. 
 On or before 10:00 a.m. (New
York City time) on each sinking fund payment date, the Company shall pay to the Trustee (to the extent it is acting as a Paying Agent with respect to Dollars) or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company (or, if the Company is acting as its own
Paying Agent, the Company shall segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 11.4) in cash a sum equal to the principal and any interest accrued to the Redemption Date for Debt Securities or portions thereof to be redeemed on such sinking
fund payment date pursuant to this Section. 
 Neither the Trustee, any Paying Agent nor the Company shall redeem any Debt
Securities of a series with sinking fund moneys or give any notice of redemption of Debt Securities of such series by operation of the sinking fund for such series during the continuance of a default in payment of interest, if any, on any Debt
Securities of such series or of any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default occurring as a consequence of this paragraph) with respect to the Debt Securities of such series, except that if the notice of redemption shall have been provided
in accordance with the provisions hereof, the Trustee or applicable Paying Agent (or the Company, if the Company is then acting as its own Paying Agent) shall redeem such Debt Securities if cash sufficient for that purpose shall be deposited with
the Trustee or such other Paying Agent as provided above (or segregated by the Company) for that purpose in accordance with the terms of this Article. Except as aforesaid, any moneys in the sinking fund for such series at the time when any such
default or Event of Default shall occur and any moneys thereafter paid into such sinking fund shall, during the continuance of such default or Event of Default, be held as security for the payment of the Debt Securities of such series; provided,
however, that in case such default or Event of Default shall have been cured or waived as provided herein, such moneys shall thereafter be applied on or prior to the next sinking fund payment date for the Debt Securities of such series on which such
moneys may be applied pursuant to the provisions of this Section. 
 ARTICLE XIV. 

DEFEASANCE 

Section 14.1. Applicability of Article. 
 Except as otherwise provided pursuant to Section 3.1, the provisions of this Article shall be applicable. 
 Section 14.2. Defeasance Upon Deposit of Moneys or U.S. Government Obligations. 
 At the Company’s option, either (a) the Company shall be deemed to have been Discharged (as defined below) from its obligations with respect to Debt Securities of any series (“legal
defeasance option”) or (b) the Company shall cease to be under any obligation to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in Section 9.1 with respect to Debt Securities of any series (and, if so specified pursuant to
Section 3.1, any other obligation of the Company or 

  
 64 









 
restrictive covenant added for the benefit of such series pursuant to Section 3.1), and any noncompliance with such terms, provisions or covenants shall not constitute a default or Event of
Default with respect to the Debt Securities of that series (“covenant defeasance option”), at any time after the applicable conditions set forth below have been satisfied: 

(1) the Company shall have deposited or caused to be deposited irrevocably with the Trustee as trust funds in trust,
specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Holders of the Debt Securities of such series, (i) money in an amount, or (ii) U.S. Government Obligations (as defined below) which through the payment of
interest and principal in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than one day before the due date of any payment, money in an amount, or (iii) a combination of (i) and (ii), sufficient, in the opinion (with
respect to (i), (ii) and (iii)) of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge each installment of principal (including any mandatory
sinking fund payments) of and premium, if any, and interest on, the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series on the dates such installments of interest or principal and premium are due; 

(2) such deposit shall not cause the Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of that series to have a conflicting
interest as defined in Section 6.8 and for purposes of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to the Debt Securities of any series; 
 (3) such deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, this Indenture or any other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound;

 (4) if the Debt Securities of such series are then listed on any national securities exchange, the Company
shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel or a letter or other document from such exchange to the effect that the Company’s exercise of its option under this Section would not cause such Debt Securities to be delisted;

 (5) no Event of Default or event (including such deposit) which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would
become an Event of Default with respect to the Debt Securities of such series shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or, insofar as Section 5.1(5) or Section 5.1(6) are concerned on the 91st day after such date;

 (6) if the Debt Securities are to be redeemed prior to Stated Maturity (other than from mandatory sinking
fund payments or analogous payments), notice of such redemption shall have been duly given pursuant to this Indenture or provision therefor reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee shall have been made; and 

  
 65 









 (7) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel or
a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that the Holders of the Debt Securities of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit, defeasance or Discharge. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default under Section 5.1(5) or Section 5.1(6) or event which with the giving of notice or lapse
of time, or both, would become an Event of Default under Section 5.1(5) or Section 5.1(6) shall have occurred and be continuing on the 91st day after the date of such deposit, the obligations of the Company with respect to such Debt
Securities shall be reinstated. 
 Notwithstanding the Company’s exercise of the covenant defeasance option, the Company
may subsequently exercise the legal defeasance option. 
 “Discharged” means that the Company shall be deemed to have
paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by, and obligations under, the Debt Securities of such series and to have satisfied all the obligations under this Indenture relating to the Debt Securities of such series (and the Trustee for
such series of Debt Securities, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except (A) the rights of Holders of Debt Securities of such series to receive, from the trust fund described in clause
(1) above, payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such Debt Securities when such payments are due, (B) the Company’s obligations with respect to the Debt Securities of such series under Sections 3.4, 3.5,
3.6, 11.3 and 14.3 and (C) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder. 
 “U.S.
Government Obligations” means securities that are (i) direct obligations of the United States for the payment of which its full faith and credit is pledged, or (ii) obligations of a Person controlled or supervised by and acting as an
agency or instrumentality of the United States the payment of which is unconditionally guaranteed as a full faith and credit obligation by the United States, which, in either case under clauses (i) or (ii), are not callable or redeemable at the
option of the issuer thereof, and shall also include a depository receipt issued by a bank or trust company as custodian with respect to any such U.S. Government Obligation or a specific payment of interest on or principal of any such U.S.
Government Obligation held by such custodian for the account of the holder of a depository receipt; provided that (except as required by law) such custodian is not authorized to make any deduction from the amount payable to the holder of such
depository receipt from any amount received by the custodian in respect of the U.S. Government Obligation or the specific payment of interest on or principal of the U.S. Government Obligation evidenced by such depository receipt. 

Section 14.3. Deposited Moneys and U.S. Government Obligations to be Held in Trust. 

All moneys and U.S. Government Obligations deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 14.2 in respect of Debt Securities of a
series shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of such Debt Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either 

  
 66 









 
directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Debt Securities, of all sums due and to become due
thereon for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 Section 14.4. Repayment to Company. 
 The Trustee and any Paying Agent
shall promptly pay or return to the Company upon Company Request any moneys or U.S. Government Obligations held by them at any time that are not required for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Debt Securities
of any series for which money or U.S. Government Obligations have been deposited pursuant to Section 14.2. 
 The
provisions of the last paragraph of Section 11.4 shall apply to any money held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent under this Article that remains unclaimed for two years after the Maturity of any series of Debt Securities for which money or
U.S. Government Obligations have been deposited pursuant to Section 14.2. 
 ARTICLE XV. 

CONVERSION 

Section 15.1. Applicability; Conversion Privilege. 
 Except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.1 for Debt Securities of any series, the provisions of this Article XV shall be applicable to any Debt Securities that are convertible into Common
Stock. If so provided pursuant to Section 3.1 with respect to the Debt Securities of any series, the Holder of a Debt Security of such series shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to convert, in accordance with the terms of such
series of Debt Securities and this Article XV, all or any part (in a denomination of, unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.1 with respect to Debt Securities of such series, $1,000 in principal amount or any integral multiple
thereof) of such Debt Security into shares of Common Stock or, as to any Debt Securities called for redemption, at any time prior to the time and date fixed for such redemption (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption
Price, in which case such right shall not terminate at such time and date). 
 Section 15.2. Conversion Procedure; Conversion Price;
Fractional Shares. 
 (a) Each Debt Security to which this Article is applicable shall be convertible at the office of the
Conversion Agent, and at such other place or places, if any, specified in pursuant to Section 3.1 with respect to the Debt Securities of such series, into fully paid and nonassessable shares (calculated to the nearest 1/100th of a share) of
Common Stock. The Debt Securities will be converted into shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Price therefor. No payment or adjustment shall be made in respect of dividends on the Common Stock or accrued interest on a converted Debt Security
except as described in Section 15.9. The Company may, but shall not be required, in connection with any conversion of Debt Securities, issue a fraction of a share of Common Stock and, if the Company shall determine not to issue any such
fraction, the Company shall, subject to Section 15.3(4), make a cash payment (calculated to the nearest cent) equal to such fraction multiplied by the Closing Price of the Common Stock on the last Trading Day prior to the date of conversion.


  
 67 









 (b) Before any Holder of a Debt Security shall be entitled to convert the same into Common
Stock, such Holder shall surrender such Debt Security duly endorsed to the Company or in blank at the office of the Conversion Agent or at such other place or places, if any, specified pursuant to Section 3.1 and shall give written notice to
the Company at said office or place that he elects to convert the same and shall state in writing therein the principal amount of Debt Securities to be converted and the name or names (with addresses) in which he wishes the certificate or
certificates for Common Stock to be issued; provided, however, that no Debt Security or portion thereof shall be accepted for conversion unless the principal amount of such Debt Security or such portion, when added to the principal amount of all
other Debt Securities or portions thereof then being surrendered by the Holder thereof for conversion, exceeds the then effective Conversion Price with respect thereto. If more than one Debt Security shall be surrendered for conversion at one time
by the same Holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock which shall be deliverable upon conversion shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities (or specified portions thereof to the extent permitted
thereby) so surrendered. Subject to the next succeeding sentence, the Company will, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at said office or place to such Holder of a Debt Security, or to his nominee or nominees, certificates for the
number of full shares of Common Stock to which he shall be entitled as aforesaid, together, subject to the last sentence of paragraph (a) above, with cash in lieu of any fraction of a share to which he would otherwise be entitled. The Company
shall not be required to deliver certificates for shares of Common Stock while the stock transfer books for such stock or the Security Register are duly closed for any purpose, but certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be issued and
delivered as soon as practicable after the opening of such books or Security Register. A Debt Security shall be deemed to have been converted as of the close of business on the date of the surrender of such Debt Security for conversion as provided
above, and the Person or Persons entitled to receive the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record Holder or Holders of such Common Stock as of the close of business on such date. In case any Debt
Security shall be surrendered for partial conversion, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or upon the written order of the Holder of the Debt Securities so surrendered, without charge to such Holder (subject
to the provisions of Section 15.8), a new Debt Security or Debt Securities in authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the surrendered Debt Security. 

Section 15.3. Adjustment of Conversion Price for Common Stock. 
 The Conversion Price with respect to any Debt Security which is convertible into Common Stock shall be adjusted from time to time as follows: 

(1) In case the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while any of such Debt Securities are outstanding,
(i) pay a dividend in shares of its Common Stock to holders of Common Stock, (ii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, (iii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a greater number of shares of Common Stock or (iv) make a distribution in shares of Common Stock to 

  
 68 









 
holders of Common Stock, then the Conversion Price in effect immediately before such action shall be adjusted so that the Holders of such Debt Securities, upon conversion thereof into Common
Stock immediately following such event, shall be entitled to receive the kind and amount of shares of capital stock of the Company which they would have owned or been entitled to receive upon or by reason of such event if such Debt Securities had
been converted immediately before the record date (or, if no record date, the effective date) for such event. An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 15.3(1) shall become effective retroactively immediately after the record date in the case
of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective retroactively immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision or combination. For the purposes of this Section 15.3(1), each Holder of Debt Securities shall be deemed to
have failed to exercise any right to elect the kind or amount of securities receivable upon the payment of any such dividend, subdivision, combination or distribution (provided that if the kind or amount of securities receivable upon such dividend,
subdivision, combination or distribution is not the same for each nonelecting share, then the kind and amount of securities or other property receivable upon such dividend, subdivision, combination or distribution for each nonelecting share shall be
deemed to be the kind and amount so receivable per share by a plurality of the nonelecting shares). 
 (2) In
case the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while any of such Debt Securities are outstanding, issue rights or warrants to all holders of shares of its Common Stock entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 days after the record
date for such issuance) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into shares of Common Stock) at a price per share less than the Current Market Price of the Common Stock at such record date (treating the price
per share of the securities convertible into Common Stock as equal to (x) the sum of (i) the price for a unit of the security convertible into Common Stock and (ii) any additional consideration initially payable upon the conversion of
such security into Common Stock divided by (y) the number of shares of Common Stock initially underlying such convertible security), the Conversion Price with respect to such Debt Securities shall be adjusted so that it shall equal the price
determined by dividing the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of issuance of such rights or warrants by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of
such rights or warrants plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase (or into which the convertible securities so offered are initially convertible), and the denominator of which shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of securities which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of securities so offered for subscription or purchase (or the aggregate purchase price of the convertible
securities so offered plus the aggregate amount of any additional consideration initially payable upon conversion of such securities into Common Stock) would purchase at such Current Market Price of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become
effective retroactively immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants. 

  
 69 









 (3) In the case the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while
any of such Debt Securities are outstanding, distribute to all holders of shares of its Common Stock (including any such distribution made in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and the Common
Stock is not changed or exchanged) cash, evidences of its indebtedness, securities or assets (excluding (i) regular periodic cash dividends in amounts, if any, determined from time to time by the Board of Directors, (ii) dividends payable
in shares of Common Stock for which adjustment is made under Section 15.3(1) or (iii) rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase securities of the Company (excluding those referred to in Section 15.3(2))), then in each such case
the Conversion Price with respect to such Debt Securities shall be adjusted so that it shall equal the price determined by dividing the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction, the numerator of
which shall be the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the record date referred to below, and the denominator of which shall be such Current Market Price of the Common Stock less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of
Directors of the Company, whose determination shall be conclusive) of the portion of the cash or assets or evidences of indebtedness or securities so distributed or of such subscription rights or warrants applicable to one share of Common Stock
(provided that such denominator shall never be less than 1.0); provided however, that no adjustment shall be made with respect to any distribution of rights to purchase securities of the Company if a Holder of Debt Securities would otherwise be
entitled to receive such rights upon conversion at any time of such Debt Securities into Common Stock unless such rights are subsequently redeemed by the Company, in which case such redemption shall be treated for purposes of this section as a
dividend on the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective retroactively immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution; and in the event that such distribution is not so made,
the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed. 
 (4) The Company shall be entitled to make such additional adjustments in the Conversion Price, in addition to those required by subsections 15.3(1), 15.3(2), and 15.3(3), as shall be necessary in order
that any dividend or distribution of Common Stock, any subdivision, reclassification or combination of shares of Common Stock or any issuance of rights or warrants referred to above shall not be taxable to the holders of Common Stock for United
States Federal income tax purposes. 
 (5) In any case in which this Section 15.3 shall require that any
adjustment be made effective as of or retroactively immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer (but only for five (5) Trading Days following the filing of the statement referred to in Section 15.5) issuing to the


  
 70 









 
Holder of any Debt Securities converted after such record date the shares of Common Stock and other capital stock of the Company issuable upon such conversion over and above the shares of Common
Stock and other capital stock of the Company issuable upon such conversion on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment; provided, however, that the Company shall deliver to such Holder a due bill or other appropriate instrument
evidencing such Holder’s right to receive such additional shares upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment. 
 (6) All calculations under this Section 15.3 shall be made to the nearest cent or one-hundredth of a share of security, with one-half cent and 0.005 of a share, respectively, being rounded upward.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 15.3, the Company shall not be required to make any adjustment of the Conversion Price unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of such price. Any lesser
adjustment shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time of and together with the next subsequent adjustment which, together with any adjustment or adjustments so carried forward, shall amount to an increase or decrease of at least 1% in
such price. Any adjustments under this Section 15.3 shall be made successively whenever an event requiring such an adjustment occurs. 
 (7) In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 15.3, the Holder of any Debt Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to
receive any shares of stock of the Company other than shares of Common Stock into which the Debt Securities originally were convertible, the Conversion Price of such other shares so receivable upon conversion of any such Debt Security shall be
subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to Common Stock contained in subparagraphs (1) through (6) of this Section 15.3, and the provisions of
Sections 15.1, 15.2 and 15.4 through 15.9 with respect to the Common Stock shall apply on like or similar terms to any such other shares and the determination of the Board of Directors as to any such adjustment shall be conclusive. 

(8) No adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Section: (i) if the effect thereof would be to reduce the
Conversion Price below the par value (if any) of the Common Stock or (ii) subject to Section 15.3(5) hereof, with respect to any Debt Security that is converted prior to the time such adjustment otherwise would be made. 

Section 15.4. Consolidation or Merger of the Company. 
 In case of either (a) any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, other than a merger or consolidation in which the Company is the surviving or continuing corporation and which does
not result in a reclassification of, or change (other than a change in par value or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value, as a result of a subdivision or combination) in, outstanding shares of Common Stock or (b) any
sale or conveyance of all or 

  
 71 









 
substantially all of the property and assets of the Company to another Person, then the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted. If any of the events described in the preceding sentence shall
occur, the Company shall execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture to provide that each Debt Security then Outstanding shall be convertible from and after such merger, consolidation, sale or conveyance of property and assets into the kind
and amount of shares of stock or other securities and property (including cash) receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such Debt Securities would have been
converted immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, subject to adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article XV (and assuming such holder of Common
Stock failed to exercise his rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of securities, cash or other property (including cash) receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance (provided that, if the kind or amount of
securities, cash or other property (including cash) receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance is not the same for each nonelecting share, then the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property (including cash) receivable
upon such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance for each nonelecting share shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so receivable per share by a plurality of the nonelecting shares or securities)). The Company shall not enter into any of the
transactions referred to in clause (a) or (b) of the preceding sentence unless effective provision shall be made so as to give effect to the provisions set forth in this Section 15.4. The provisions of this Section 15.4 shall
apply similarly to successive consolidations, mergers, sales or conveyances. 
 Section 15.5. Notice of Adjustment. 

Whenever an adjustment in the Conversion Price with respect to a series of Debt Securities is required: 

(1) the Company shall forthwith place on file with the Trustee and any Conversion Agent for such Debt Securities a
certificate of the Treasurer or any President or Vice President of the Company, stating the adjusted Conversion Price determined as provided herein and setting forth in reasonable detail such facts as shall be necessary to show the reason for and
the manner of computing such adjustment, such certificate to be conclusive evidence that the adjustment is correct absent manifest error; and 
 (2) a notice stating that the Conversion Price has been adjusted and setting forth the adjusted Conversion Price shall forthwith be given to the Holders of the Debt Securities of such series by the
Company, or at the Company’s request by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company, in the manner provided in Section 1.5. Any notice so given shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder
receives such notice. 

  
 72 









 Section 15.6. Notice in Certain Events. 

In case: 
 (1) of a consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party and for which approval of any shareholders of the Company is required, or of the sale or conveyance to another Person or entity or group of
Persons or entities acting in concert as a partnership, limited partnership, syndicate or other group (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of all or substantially all of the property and assets of
the Company; or 
 (2) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company; or

 (3) of any action triggering an adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this Article XV, 

then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be filed with the Trustee and the Conversion Agent for the applicable Debt Securities, and shall cause to
be given, to the Holders of record of the applicable Debt Securities in the manner provided in Section 1.5, at least fifteen (15) days prior to the applicable date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record
is to be taken for the purpose of any distribution or grant of rights or warrants triggering an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to this Article XV, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of record or Common
Stock entitled to such distribution, rights or warrants are to be determined, or (y) the date on which any reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up triggering an adjustment to the
Conversion Price pursuant to this Article XV is expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property
deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. 

Failure to give such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the legality or validity of the proceedings described in clause (1),
(2) or (3) of this Section. 
 Section 15.7. Company to Reserve Stock; Registration; Listing. 

(a) The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued shares of
Common Stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Debt Securities, such number of its duly authorized shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all applicable outstanding Debt
Securities into such Common Stock at any time (assuming that, at the time of the computation of such number of shares or securities, all such Debt Securities would be held by a single holder); provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall
preclude the Company from satisfying its obligations in respect of the conversion of the Debt Securities by delivery of purchased shares of Common Stock which are held in the treasury of the Company. The Company shall from time to time, in
accordance with the laws of the State of Missouri, use its best efforts to cause the authorized amount of the Common Stock to be increased if the aggregate of the authorized amount of the Common Stock remaining unissued and the issued shares of such
Common Stock in its treasury (other than any such shares reserved for issuance in any other connection) shall not be sufficient to permit the conversion of all Debt Securities. 

  
 73 









 (b) If any shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon conversion of Debt Securities
hereunder require registration with or approval of any governmental authority before such shares or securities may be issued upon such conversion, the Company will in good faith and as expeditiously as possible endeavor to cause such shares or
securities to be duly registered or approved, as the case may be. The Company will endeavor to list the shares of Common Stock required to be delivered upon conversion of the Debt Securities prior to such delivery upon the principal national
securities exchange upon which the outstanding Common Stock is listed at the time of such delivery. 
 Section 15.8. Taxes on
Conversion. 
 The Company shall pay any and all documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes that may be payable
in respect of the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversion of Debt Securities pursuant hereto. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any such tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue or
delivery of shares of Common Stock or the portion, if any, of the Debt Securities which are not so converted in a name other than that in which the Debt Securities so converted were registered (in case of Debt Securities), and no such issue or
delivery shall be made unless and until the Person requesting such issue has paid to the Company the amount of such tax or has established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid. 

Section 15.9. Conversion After Record Date. 
 If any Debt Securities are surrendered for conversion subsequent to the record date preceding an Interest Payment Date but on or prior to such Interest Payment Date (except Debt Securities called for
redemption on a Redemption Date between such record date and Interest Payment Date), the Holder of such Debt Securities at the close of business on such record date shall be entitled to receive the interest payable on such Debt Securities on such
Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion thereof. Debt Securities surrendered for conversion during the period from the close of business on any record date next preceding any Interest Payment Date to the opening of business on such
Interest Payment Date shall (except in the case of Debt Securities which have been called for redemption on a Redemption Date within such period) be accompanied by payment in New York Clearing House funds or other funds of an amount equal to the
interest payable on such Interest Payment Date on the Debt Securities being surrendered for conversion. Except as provided in this Section 15.9, no adjustments in respect of payments of interest on Debt Securities surrendered for conversion or
any dividends or distributions of interest on the Common Stock issued upon conversion shall be made upon the conversion of any Debt Securities. 

Section 15.10. Conversion of Debt Securities into Preferred Stock or other Securities. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article XV, the Company may issue Debt Securities that are convertible into Preferred
Stock or other securities of the Company, including Preferred Stock convertible into Common Stock, in which case all terms and conditions relating to the conversion of Debt Securities into Preferred Stock or other securities, including any terms
similar to those provided in Sections 15.1 through 15.12, shall be as provided in or pursuant to an appropriate Board Resolution or in any indenture supplemental hereto or as otherwise contemplated by Section 3.1. 

  
 74 









 Section 15.11. Company Determination Final. 

Any determination that the Company or the Board of Directors makes pursuant to this Article is final and conclusive. 

Section 15.12. Trustee Adjustment Disclaimer. 
 The Trustee has no duty to determine when an adjustment under this Article XV should be made, how it should be made or what it should be. The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or value of
any securities or assets issued upon conversion of Debt Securities. The Trustee shall not be responsible for the Company’s failure to comply with this Article XV. Each Conversion Agent (other than the Company or an Affiliate of the Company)
shall have the same protection under this Section 15.12 as the Trustee.
