proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to make, give or take such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date. No such request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act shall be valid or effective if made, given or taken more than 90 days after such record date. 
 (2) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing referred to in this Section 1.4 may be proved in any reasonable manner; and the Trustee may in any instance
require further proof with respect to any of the matters referred to in this Section. 
 (3) The ownership, principal amount and
serial numbers of Registered Securities held by any Person, and the date of the commencement and the date of the termination of holding the same, shall be proved by the Security Register. 

(4) If the Company shall solicit from the Holders of any Registered Securities any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other Act, the Company may at its option (but is not obligated to), by Board Resolution, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders of Registered Securities entitled to give such request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act may be given before or after such record date, but only the Holders of Registered
Securities of record at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the purpose of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of Outstanding Securities have authorized or agreed or consented to such
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, and for that purpose the Outstanding Securities shall be computed as of such record date; provided that no such authorization, agreement or consent by the Holders of
Registered Securities shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than six months after the record date. 
 (5) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act by the Holder of any Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Security and the Holder of every Security

not notation of such Act is made upon such Security.

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other 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 the Company shall be
sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, or 
 (2) the Company by the Trustee or any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the

Security affected by such event, at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. 

In any case where notice to Holders of Registered Securities is given by mail, or sent pursuant to the Applicable Procedures, neither the
failure to mail or send such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed or sent, to any particular Holder of a Registered Security shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders of Registered Securities. Any notice
which is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given or provided. In the case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or disruption of the Applicable Procedures or by reason of any other
cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail or pursuant to the Applicable Procedures, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification 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 of Securities shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the
validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver. 
 Section 1.7 Language of Notices.

has the right to convert or exchange Securities of a series that are convertible or exchangeable, shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or any Security other than a provision
in any Security that specifically states that such provision shall apply in lieu hereof) payment need not be made at such Place of Payment on such date, and such Securities need not be converted or exchanged on such date but such payment may be
made, and such Securities may be converted or exchanged, on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day at such Place of Payment with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or at the Stated Maturity or Maturity or on
such last day for conversion or exchange, and no interest shall accrue on the amount payable on such date or at such time for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Stated Maturity, Maturity or last day for conversion or exchange, as

obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert the sum due in respect of the principal of, or premium or interest, if any, on, or Additional Amounts with respect to, the Securities of any series (the “Required Currency”)

requisite amount of the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on the New York Banking Day preceding the day on which a final unappealable judgment is given and (b) its obligations under this Indenture to make payments in the Required
Currency (i) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender, or any recovery pursuant to any judgment (whether or not entered in accordance with clause (a)), in any currency other than the Required Currency, except to the extent that such
tender or recovery shall result in the actual receipt, by the payee, of the full amount of the Required Currency expressed to be payable in respect of such payments, (ii) shall be enforceable as an alternative or additional cause of action for
the purpose of recovering in the Required Currency the amount, if any, by which such actual receipt shall fall short of the full amount of the Required Currency so expressed to be payable and (iii) shall not be affected by judgment being
obtained for any other sum due under this Indenture. For purposes of the foregoing, “New York Banking Day” means any day except a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday in The City of New York or a day on which banking institutions in
The City of New York are authorized or obligated by law, regulation or executive order to be closed.

 Section 2.3 Form of Reverse of Security. 

This Subordinated Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the
“Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture dated as of                      (herein
called the “Indenture,” which term shall have the meaning assigned to it in such instrument), between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term
includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations or rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the
Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof [, limited in aggregate principal
amount to $            ]. 
 The indebtedness evidenced by
this Security is, to the extent and in the manner set forth in the Indenture, expressly subordinated and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Debt (as defined in the Indenture) of the Company. This Security is
issued subject to such provisions of the Indenture, and each Holder of this Security, by accepting the same, agrees to and shall be bound by such provisions and authorizes and directs the Trustee on the Holder’s behalf to take such action as
may be necessary or appropriate to acknowledge or effectuate such subordination as provided in the Indenture and appoints the Trustee such Holder’s attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. 

[If the Security is to be subject to redemption only at the option of the Company or any sinking fund redemption will be at the same
prices, insert—The Securities of this series are subject to redemption upon not less than 30 days’ notice provided in the manner set forth in the Indenture, [(1) on
                 in any year commencing with the year              and ending with the year
             through operation of the sinking fund for this series at the Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount, and (2)] at any time [on or after
                    ,             ], as a whole or in part, at the election

Redemption Date, but interest installments whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to such Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such Securities of record at the close of business on the relevant record dates referred to on the face hereof,
all as provided in the Indenture.] 
 [If the Security is to be subject to redemption at the option of the Company and pursuant
to a sinking fund at different prices, insert—The Securities of this series are subject to redemption upon not less than 30 days’ notice by mail or Applicable Procedures, (1) on

together in the case of any such redemption (whether through operation of the sinking fund or otherwise) with accrued interest to the Redemption Date, but interest installments whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to such Redemption Date will be
payable to the Holders of such Securities of record at the close of business on the relevant record dates referred to on the face hereof, all as provided in the Indenture.] 
 [If there is to be a sinking fund, insert—The sinking fund for this series provides for the redemption on              each year
beginning with the year              and ending with the year              of [not less than]
$             (“mandatory sinking fund”) and not more than $            ] aggregate principal
amount of Securities of this series. Securities of this series acquired or redeemed by the Company otherwise than through [mandatory] sinking fund payments may be credited against subsequent [mandatory] sinking fund payments otherwise required to be
made.] 
 [If the Security is to be redeemable in part, insert—In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a
new Security or Securities of this series for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.] 
 [If the Security is not to be an Original Issue Discount Security, insert—If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the
Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.] 
 The
Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, to consent to the amendment and modification thereof and, on behalf of the Holders of
all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be
conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent of waiver is
made upon this Security. 
 As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not
have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a 

  
 14 









 continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this series, the Requisite Holders shall have
made written request to the trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity satisfactory to it, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity.

 No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the
obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. 

[If the Security is to be in registered form, insert—As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest on
this Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and, thereupon one
or more new Securities of this series, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.] 
 [The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form [without coupons] in denominations of $             [and any integral
multiple] [or increments of $             in excess] thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are
exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.] 
 [No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in
connection therewith.] 
 [Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and
any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be
affected by notice to the contrary.] 
 [If the Security is a Global Security, insert—“Global Security”
and “Global Securities” means a Security or Securities evidencing all or a part of a series of Securities, issued to the Depositary (as hereinafter defined) for such Series or its nominee, and registered in the name of such
Depositary or its nominee. “Depositary” means, with respect to the Securities of any series issuable or issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global securities, the person designated as the Depositary by the
Company.] 
 No holder of any beneficial interest in this Security held on its behalf by a Depositary or a nominee of such
Depositary shall have any rights under the Indenture with respect to such Global Security, and such Depositary or nominee may be treated by the Company, the Trustee, and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the owner of such Global Security
for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall impair, as between a Depositary and such holders of beneficial interests, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of the Depositary as
Holder of any Security. 
 This Security is exchangeable, in whole but not in part, for Securities registered in the names of
Persons other than the Depositary or its nominee or in the name of a successor to the Depositary or a nominee of such successor depositary only if (i) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary
for this Note or if at any time such Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and, in either case, a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days,
(ii) the Company in its discretion at any time determines not to have all of the Securities of this series represented by one or more Global Security or Securities and notifies the Trustee thereof, or (iii) an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing with respect to the Securities of this series. If this Security is exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence, it shall be exchangeable for Securities issuable in authorized denominations and registered in such names as the
Depositary holding this Security shall direct. Subject to the 

  
 15 









 
foregoing, this Security is not exchangeable, except for a Security or Securities of the same aggregate denominations to be registered in the name of such Depositary or its nominee or in the name
of a successor to the Depositary or a nominee of such successor depositary.] 
 [The Indenture entitles Holders to receive
annual reports with respect to the Trustee’s eligibility and qualifications to serve as Trustee by filing their names and addresses with the Trustee for that purpose within two years preceding and sending of any such annual report.] 

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any, on) or interest on this Security, or for any claim
based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Indenture of any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or any
successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue
hereof, expressly waived and released. 
 All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the
meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. 
 This Security, including without limitation the obligation of the Company
contained herein to pay the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest on this Security in accordance with the terms hereof and of the Indenture, shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York.

 Section 2.5 Securities in Global Form. 

If Securities of a series shall be issuable in global form, any such Security may provide that it or any number of such Securities shall
represent the aggregate amount of all Outstanding Securities of such series (or such lesser amount as is permitted by the terms thereof) from time to time endorsed thereon and may also provide that the aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities
represented thereby may from time to time be increased or reduced to reflect exchanges. Any endorsement of any Security in global form to reflect the amount, or any increase or decrease in the amount, or changes in the rights of Holders, of
Outstanding Securities represented thereby shall be made in such manner and by such Person or Persons as shall be specified therein or in the Company Order to be delivered 

  
 16 









 
pursuant to Section 3.3 or 3.4 with respect thereto. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.3 and, if applicable, Section 3.4, the Trustee shall deliver and redeliver, in each case
at the Company’s expense, any Security in permanent global form in the manner and upon instructions given by the Person or Persons specified therein or in the applicable Company Order. If a Company Order pursuant to Section 3.3 or 3.4 has
been, or simultaneously is, delivered, any instructions by the Company with respect to a Security in global form shall be in writing but need not be accompanied by or contained in an Officer’s Certificate and need not be accompanied by an
Opinion of Counsel. 
 Unless otherwise specified in or pursuant to this Indenture, any Securities, or the Board Resolution or
any indenture supplemental hereto establishing such series of Securities, payment of principal of, any premium and interest on, and any Additional Amounts in respect of, any Security in temporary or permanent global form shall be made to the Person
or Persons specified therein. 
 Except as provided in the preceding paragraph, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the
Company or the Trustee shall treat as the Holder of such principal amount of Outstanding Securities represented by a global Security as the Holder of such global Security in registered form.

respect to such Securities in or pursuant to this Indenture. 
 Section 3.3 Execution, Authentication, Delivery and
Dating. 
 Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, its Chief Executive Officer,
its President, its Chief Financial Officer, its Treasurer, or any Vice President elected by its Board of Directors. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile. 

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

 At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities,
executed by the Company, to the Trustee for authentication and, provided that the Board Resolution and Officer’s Certificate or supplemental indenture or indentures with respect to such Securities referred to in Section 3.1 and a Company
Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities have been delivered to the Trustee, the Trustee in accordance with the Company Order and subject to the provisions hereof and of such


  
 19 









 
Securities shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. In authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities,
the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 6.1) shall be fully protected in relying upon, 
 (1) an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that: 
 (a) the form or forms and terms of such Securities have been established in conformity
with the provisions of this Indenture; 
 (b) all conditions precedent to the authentication and delivery of such Securities
have been complied with and that such Securities, when completed by appropriate insertions, and executed by a duly Authorized Officer of the Company, delivered by a duly Authorized Officer of the Company to the Trustee for authentication pursuant to
this Indenture, and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute legally valid and binding obligations of the Company,
enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, except as enforcement thereof may be subject to or limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, arrangement, fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or other
similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, and subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law) and will entitle the Holders thereof to the
benefits of this Indenture; such Opinion of Counsel need express no opinion as to the availability of equitable remedies; and 

(c) the execution, delivery and performance of such Securities will not (assuming the Company’s compliance with all applicable state
securities or “Blue Sky” laws and except as would not result in a material adverse effect on the business affairs, financial condition, earnings or results of operations of the Company) result in any violation of any applicable law,
statute, rule, regulation, judgment, order, writ or decree, known to such Counsel, of any federal or state government, government instrumentality or court having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its properties, assets or operations; and

 to the extent that this Indenture is required to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act in connection with the issuance of such
Securities, to the further effect that: 
 (d) this Indenture has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act; and 

(2) an Officer’s Certificate stating that all conditions precedent to the execution, authentication and delivery of such Securities
have been complied with and that, to the best knowledge of the Person executing such certificate, no event which is, or after notice or lapse of time would become, an Event of Default with respect to any of the Securities shall have occurred and be
continuing. 
 If all the Securities of any series are not to be issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver an
Opinion of Counsel and an Officer’s Certificate at the time of issuance of each Security, but such opinion and certificate, with appropriate modifications, shall be delivered at or before the time of issuance of the first Security of such
series. After any such first delivery, any separate written request by an Authorized Officer of the Company that the Trustee authenticate and deliver Securities of such series for original issue will be deemed to be a certification by the Company
that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to authentication and delivery of such Securities continue to have been complied with. The Trustee shall not be required to authenticate or to cause an Authenticating Agent to
authenticate any Securities if the issue of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably
acceptable to the Trustee or if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken. 

Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. 
 No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form
provided for in Section 2.2, 2.3 or 6.13 executed by or on behalf of the Trustee or by the Authenticating Agent by the manual signature of one of its Authorized Officers. Such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the
only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.

 Section 3.4 Temporary Securities. 

Pending the preparation of definitive Securities, the Company may execute and deliver to the Trustee and, upon Company Order, the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver, in the manner provided in Section 3.3, temporary Securities in lieu thereof which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the
tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued, in registered form and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers of the Company executing such Securities may determine, as
conclusively evidenced by their execution of such Securities. Such temporary Securities may be in global form. 
 Except in the
case of temporary Securities in global form, which shall be exchanged in accordance with the provisions thereof, if temporary Securities are issued, the Company shall cause definitive Securities to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the
preparation of definitive Securities of the same series and containing terms and provisions that are identical to those of any temporary Securities, such temporary Securities shall be exchangeable for such definitive Securities upon surrender of
such temporary Securities at an Office or Agency for such Securities, without charge to any Holder thereof. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Securities of authorized denominations of the same series and containing identical terms and provisions. Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture with respect to a
temporary global Security, until so exchanged the temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series. 

Section 3.5 Registration, Transfer and Exchange. 
 With respect to the Registered Securities of each series, if any, the Company shall cause to be kept a register (each such register being herein sometimes referred to as the “Security
Register”) at an Office or Agency for such series in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as, it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of the Registered Securities of such series and of transfers of the
Registered Securities of such series. Such Office or Agency shall be the “Security Registrar” for that series of Securities. Unless otherwise specified in or pursuant to this Indenture or the Securities, the Trustee shall be the
initial Security Registrar for each series of Securities. The Company shall have the right to remove and replace from time to time the Security Registrar for any series of Securities; provided that no such removal or replacement shall be effective
until a successor Security Registrar with respect to such series of Securities shall have been appointed by the Company and shall have accepted such appointment by the Company. In the event that the Trustee shall not be or shall cease to be Security
Registrar with respect to a series of Securities, it shall have the right to examine the Security Register for such series at all reasonable times. There shall be only one Security Register for each series of Securities. 

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Registered Security of any series at any Office or Agency for such series, the Company
shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Registered Securities of the same series denominated as authorized in or pursuant to this Indenture, of a like
aggregate principal amount bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding and containing identical terms and provisions. 

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

Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, any Securities, or the Board Resolution or
any indenture supplemental hereto establishing such series of Securities, any global Security shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities only if (i) the Depository is at any time unwilling,


  
 21 









 
unable or ineligible to continue as depository and a successor depository is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of the date the Company is so informed in writing, (ii) the Company
executes and delivers to the Trustee a Company Order to the effect that such global Security shall be so exchangeable, or (iii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Securities. If the beneficial owners of
interests in a global Security are entitled to exchange such interests for definitive Securities as the result of an event described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of the preceding sentence, then without unnecessary delay but in any event
not later than the earliest date on which such interests may be so exchanged, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee definitive Securities in such form and denominations as are required by or pursuant to this Indenture, and of the same series,
containing identical terms and in aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such global Security, executed by the Company. On or after the earliest date on which such interests may be so exchanged, such global Security shall be
surrendered from time to time by the U.S. Depository or such other Depository as shall be specified in the Company Order with respect thereto, and in accordance with instructions given to the Trustee and the U.S. Depository or such other Depository,
as the case may be (which instructions shall be in writing but need not be contained in or accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate or be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel), as shall be specified in the Company Order with respect thereto to
the Trustee, as the Company’s agent for such purpose, to be exchanged, in whole or in part, for definitive Securities as described above without charge. The Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, in exchange for each
portion of such surrendered global Security, a like aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series of authorized denominations and of like tenor as the portion of such global Security to be exchanged, which shall be in the
form of Registered Securities as shall be specified by the beneficial owner thereof; provided, however, that no such exchanges may occur during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before any selection of Securities of the same
series to be redeemed and ending on the relevant Redemption Date. Promptly following any such exchange in part, such global Security shall be returned by the Trustee to such Depository or the U.S. Depository, as the case may be, or such other
Depository or U.S. Depository referred to above in accordance with the instructions of the Company referred to above. If a Registered Security is issued in exchange for any portion of a global Security after the close of business at the Office or
Agency for such Security where such exchange occurs on or after (i) any Regular Record Date for such Security and before the opening of business at such Office or Agency on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, or (ii) any Special
Record Date for such Security and before the opening of business at such Office or Agency on the related proposed date for payment of interest or Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, interest shall not be payable on such Interest Payment Date in
respect of such Registered Security, but shall be payable on such Interest Payment Date only to the Person to whom interest in respect of such portion of such global Security shall be payable in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

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

Every Registered Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange or redemption shall (if so required by
the Company or the Security Registrar for such Security) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar for such Security duly executed by the Holder thereof or
his attorney duly authorized in writing. 
 No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange, or
redemption of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge and any other expenses (including fees and expenses of the Trustee) that may be imposed in connection with any
registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 3.4, 9.5 or 11.7 not involving any transfer. 
 Except as otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, the Company shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Securities during a period beginning at the
opening of business 15 days before the day of the selection for redemption of Securities of like tenor and the same series under Section 11.3 and ending at the close of business on the day of such selection, or (ii) to register the
transfer of or exchange any Registered Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except in the case of any Security to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed, or (iii) to issue, register the transfer of or
exchange any Security which, in accordance with its terms, has been surrendered for repayment at the option of the Holder, except the portion, if any, of such Security not to be so repaid. 

  
 22 









 The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to
compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Security other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as
are expressly required by, and to do so only if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture. 

Section 3.6 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities. 

If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 3.6, the Company shall execute and
the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same series containing identical terms and of like principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 

If there be delivered to the Company and to the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Security and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a
protected purchaser, the Company shall execute and, upon the Company’s request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same series
containing identical terms and of like principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.6, in case any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become
or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security. 

Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section 3.6, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. 
 Every new Security issued pursuant to this Section 3.6 in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute a separate obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or
stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of such series, if any, duly issued hereunder. 

The provisions of this Section 3.6, as amended or supplemented pursuant to this Indenture with respect to particular Securities or
generally, shall be exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities. 

Section 3.7 Persons Deemed Owners. 
 Prior to due presentment of a Registered Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Registered
Security is registered in the Security Register as the owner of such Registered Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of, any premium and (subject to Section 3.5) interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to such
Registered Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not any payment with respect to such Registered Security shall be overdue, and none of the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by
notice to the contrary. 
 No Holder of any beneficial interest in any global Security held on its behalf by a Depository shall
have any rights under this Indenture with respect to such global Security, and such Depository may be treated by the Company, the Trustee, and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the owner of such global Security for all purposes whatsoever.
None of the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Security Registrar 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 Security or
for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. 

  
 23 









 Section 3.8 Cancellation. 

All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer, exchange or conversion shall, if surrendered to any Person
other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee, and any such Securities, as well as Securities surrendered directly to the Trustee for any such purpose, shall be cancelled promptly by the Trustee. The Company may at any time deliver to the
Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Securities so delivered shall be cancelled promptly by the Trustee. No Securities shall be
authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by or pursuant to this Indenture. All cancelled Securities held by the Trustee shall be disposed of by the Trustee in
accordance with its then practices, unless by a Company Order the Company directs their return to it. 
 Section 3.9
Computation of Interest. 
 Except as otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, any Security, or the Board
Resolution or any indenture supplemental hereto establishing such series of Securities, interest on the Securities shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 

Section 3.10 CUSIP Numbers. 
 The Company in issuing the Securities may use CUSIP numbers and/or other similar numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP numbers and/or other similar numbers in notices
of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that
reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the
CUSIP numbers and/or other similar numbers. 
 Section 3.11 Payment of Interest; Rights to Interest. 

Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, any interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to any Registered
Security which shall be payable, and are paid when due or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered as of the close of business on
the Regular Record Date for such interest. 
 Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, any interest on and
any Additional Amounts with respect to any Registered Security which shall be payable, but shall not be paid when due or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date for such Registered Security (herein called “Defaulted
Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder thereof on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder; and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided
in clause (1) or (2) below: 
 (1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Person in
whose name such Registered Security (or a Predecessor Security thereof) shall be registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed by the Company in the following manner.
The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on such Registered Security, the Special Record Date therefor 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 on or prior to the date of the proposed
payment, such money when so deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Person entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. The Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest 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 notification to the Trustee of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall, in the name and at the expense of the Company, cause notice of the proposed
payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, or sent pursuant to Applicable Procedures to the Holder of such Registered Security (or a Predecessor Security thereof) at his address
as it appears in the Security Register not less than 10 days prior to 

  
 24 









 
such Special Record Date. The Trustee may, if so directed in writing by the Company, in the name and at the expense of the Company cause a similar notice to be published at least once in an
Authorized Newspaper of general circulation, but such publication shall not be a condition precedent to the establishment of such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor
having been mailed or sent as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Registered Security (or a Predecessor Security thereof) shall be 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
in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Security 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 payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. 
 Unless otherwise provided
in or pursuant to this Indenture or the Securities of any particular series pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, at the option of the Company, interest on Registered Securities that bear interest may be paid by mailing a check to the
address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register or by transfer to an account maintained by the payee with a bank located in the United States. 

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section and Section 3.5, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration
of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security. 

In the case of any Registered Security of any series that is convertible into shares of Common Stock or exchangeable for other
securities, which Registered Security is converted or exchanged after any Regular Record Date and on or prior to the next succeeding Interest Payment Date (other than any Registered Security with respect to which the Stated Maturity is prior to such
Interest Payment Date), interest with respect to which the Stated Maturity is on such Interest Payment Date shall be payable on such Interest Payment Date notwithstanding such conversion or exchange, and such interest (whether or not paid when due
or duly provided for) shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Registered Security (or one or more predecessor Registered Securities) is registered at the close of business on such Regular Record Date. Except as otherwise expressly provided in
the immediately preceding sentence, in the case of any Registered Security which is converted or exchanged, interest with respect to which the Stated Maturity is after the date of conversion or exchange of such Registered Security shall not be
payable. 
 ARTICLE 4 
 SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE 
 Section 4.1 Satisfaction
and Discharge. 
 Upon the direction of the Company by a Company Order, this Indenture shall cease to be of further effect
with respect to any series of Securities specified in such Company Order, and the Trustee, on receipt of a Company Order, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as
to such series, when 
 (1) either 
 (a) all Securities of such series theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (i) 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) Securities of such series for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust,
as provided in Section 10.3) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or 
 (b) all Securities of such series:

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

  
 25 









 (iii) if redeemable at the option of the Company, 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, in the case of (i), (ii) or (iii) above, has deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for such purpose, money in the Currency in which such
Securities are payable in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, including the principal of, any premium and interest on, and any Additional
Amounts with respect to such Securities, to the date of such deposit (in the case of Securities which have become due and payable) or the Maturity thereof or the date of redemption, as the case may be; 

(2) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company with respect to the Outstanding Securities
of such series; and 
 (3) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel,
each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as to such series have been complied with. 
 In the event there are Securities of two or more series hereunder, the Trustee shall be required to execute an instrument acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture only if requested to do
so with respect to Securities of such series as to which it is Trustee and if the other conditions thereto are met. 

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to any series of Securities, 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 Company and the Trustee with respect to the Securities of such
series under Sections 3.5, 3.6, 4.3, 10.2 and 10.3, with respect to the payment of Additional Amounts, if any, with respect to such Securities (but only to the extent that the Additional Amounts payable with respect to such Securities exceed the
amount deposited in respect of such Additional Amounts pursuant to Section 4.1(1)(b)), and with respect to any rights to convert or exchange such Securities into Common Stock or other securities shall survive. 

Section 4.2 Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance. 
 (1) Unless pursuant to Section 3.1, either or both of (i) defeasance of the Securities of or within a series under clause (2) of this Section 4.2 shall not be applicable with respect
to the Securities of such series or (ii) covenant defeasance of the Securities of or within a series under clause (3) of this Section 4.2 shall not be applicable with respect to the Securities of such series, then such provisions,
together with the other provisions of this Section 4.2 (with such modifications thereto as may be specified pursuant to Section 3.1 with respect to any Securities), shall be applicable to such Securities, and the Company may at its option
by Board Resolution, at any time, with respect to such Securities, elect to have Section 4.2(2) or Section 4.2(3) be applied to such Outstanding Securities upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Section 4.2.

 (2) Upon the Company’s exercise of the above option applicable to this Section 4.2(2) with respect to any
Securities of or within a series, the Company shall be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to such Outstanding Securities on the date the conditions set forth in clause (4) of this Section 4.2 are satisfied
(hereinafter, “defeasance”). For this purpose, such defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by such Outstanding Securities, which shall thereafter be deemed to be
“Outstanding” only for the purposes of clause (4) of this Section 4.2 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) below, and to have satisfied all of its other obligations under such
Securities and this Indenture insofar as such Securities are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated
or discharged hereunder: (i) the rights of Holders of such Outstanding Securities to receive, solely from the trust fund described in clause (4) of this Section 4.2 and as more fully set forth in such clause, payments in respect of
the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on, and Additional Amounts, if any, with respect to, such Securities when such payments are due, and any rights of such Holder to convert such Securities into Common Stock or exchange such
Securities for other securities, (ii) the obligations of 

  
 26 









 
the Company and the Trustee with respect to such Securities under Sections 3.5, 3.6, 10.2 and 10.3 and with respect to the payment of Additional Amounts, if any, on such Securities (but only to
the extent that the Additional Amounts payable with respect to such Securities exceed the amount deposited in respect of such Additional Amounts pursuant to Section 4.2(4)(a) below), and with respect to any rights to convert such Securities
into Common Stock or exchange such Securities for other securities, (iii) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and (iv) this Section 4.2. The Company may exercise its option under this
Section 4.2(2) notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under clause (3) of this Section 4.2 with respect to such Securities. 
 (3) Upon the Company’s exercise of the option to have this Section 4.2(3) apply with respect to any Securities of or within a series, the Company shall be released from its obligations to the
extent specified pursuant to Section 3.1(17), under any covenant applicable to such Securities, with respect to such Outstanding Securities on and after the date the conditions set forth in clause (4) of this Section 4.2 are satisfied
(hereinafter, “covenant defeasance”), and such Securities shall thereafter be deemed to be not “Outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or Act of Holders (and the consequences of any
thereof) in connection with any such covenant, but shall continue to be deemed “Outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder. For this purpose, such covenant defeasance means that, with respect to such Outstanding Securities, the Company
may omit to comply with, and shall have no liability in respect of, any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such Section or such other covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such
Section or such other covenant or by reason of reference in any such Section or such other covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a default or an Event of Default under
Section 5.1(4) or otherwise, as the case may be, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities shall be unaffected thereby. 
 (4) The following shall be the conditions to application of clause (2) or (3) of this Section 4.2 to any Outstanding Securities of or within a series: 

(a) The Company shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee satisfying the
requirements of Section 6.8 who shall agree to comply with the provisions of this Section 4.2 applicable to it) as trust funds in trust for the purpose of making the following payments, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated
solely to, the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, (1) an amount in Dollars in which such Securities are then specified as payable at Stated Maturity, (2) Government Obligations or (3) a combination thereof, applicable to such
Securities (determined on the basis of the Currency in which such Securities are then specified as payable at Stated Maturity) which through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will
provide money in an amount, not later than one day before the due date of any payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on such Securities, sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of such principal and
interest, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent registered public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge, and which shall be applied by the Trustee (or other
qualifying trustee) to pay and discharge the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on such Outstanding Securities at the Stated Maturity of such principal or installment of principal or premium or interest. 

(b) Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, this Indenture or
any other material agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound. 
 (c) No Event of Default
or event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become an Event of Default with respect to such Securities shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit and, with respect to defeasance only, at any time during the
period ending on the 123rd day after the date of such deposit (it being understood that this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until the expiration of such period). 
 (d) In the case of an election under clause (2) of this Section 4.2, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (i) the Company has received from the
Internal Revenue Service a letter ruling, or there has been published by the Internal Revenue Service a revenue ruling, or (ii) since the date of execution of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law, in
either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders of such Outstanding Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance and will be subject
to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such defeasance had not occurred. 

  
 27 









 (e) In the case of an election under clause (3) of this Section 4.2, the Company
shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of such Outstanding Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such covenant defeasance and will be
subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such covenant defeasance had not occurred. 
 (f) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that, after the 123rd day after the date of deposit, all money and Government Obligations (or other property as may
be provided pursuant to Section 3.1) (including the proceeds thereof) deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) pursuant to this Section 4.2(4) to be held in trust will not be subject to any case or
proceeding (whether voluntary or involuntary) in respect of the Company under any Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law, or any decree or order for relief in respect of the Company issued in connection
therewith. 
 (g) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each
stating that all conditions precedent to the defeasance or covenant defeasance under clause (2) or (3) of this Section 4.2 (as the case may be) have been complied with. 

(h) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 4.2(4), such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall be effected in
compliance with any additional or substitute terms, conditions or limitations which may be imposed on the Company in connection therewith pursuant to Section 3.1. 
 The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of Section 4.3, the “Trustee”) against any tax, fee or other charge, imposed
on or assessed against the Government Obligations deposited pursuant to this Section 4.2 or the principal or interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of
such Outstanding Securities. 
 Anything in this Section 4.2 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or
pay to the Company from time to time upon Company Request any money or Government Obligations (or other property and any proceeds therefrom) held by it as provided in clause (4) of this Section 4.2 which, in the opinion of a nationally
recognized firm of independent registered public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect a defeasance or covenant
defeasance, as applicable, in accordance with this Section 4.2. 
 Section 4.3 Application of Trust Money.

 Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 10.3, all money and Government Obligations (or other
property as may be provided pursuant to Section 3.1) (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.1 or 4.2 in respect of any Outstanding Securities of any series shall be held in trust and applied by
the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of
such Securities of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal (and premium, if any) and interest and Additional Amounts, if any; but such money and Government Obligations need not be segregated from other funds except to the
extent required by law. 
 ARTICLE 5 
 REMEDIES 
 Section 5.1 Events of Default. 

“Event of Default”, wherever used herein with respect to Securities of any series, means any one of the following events
(whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or 

  
 28 









 
be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body), unless such event is
specifically deleted or modified in or pursuant to the supplemental indenture or Board Resolution and set forth in an Officer’s Certificate establishing the terms of such series pursuant to this Indenture: 

(1) default in the payment of any interest on any Security of such series, or any Additional Amounts payable with respect thereto, when
such interest becomes or such Additional Amounts become due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days; provided, however, that a valid extension of an Interest Payment Date by the Company in accordance with the terms of
any indenture supplemental hereto, shall not constitute a default in the payment of interest for this purpose; or 
 (2) default
in the payment of the principal of or any premium, if any, on any Security of such series, or any Additional Amounts payable with respect thereto, when such principal or premium becomes or such Additional Amounts become due and payable at their
Maturity; or 
 (3) default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant or warranty of the Company in this Indenture, the
Securities, or in the Board Resolution or any supplemental indenture hereto establishing such series of Securities (other than a covenant or warranty a default in the performance or the breach of which is elsewhere in this Section specifically dealt
with or which has been expressly included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of a series of Securities other than such series), and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 60 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 Requisite Holders, a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of
Default” hereunder; or 
 (4) the entry by a court having competent jurisdiction of:

 Section 5.2 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. 

If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding (other than an Event of Default specified in
clause (4) or (5) of Section 5.1) occurs and is continuing, then the Trustee or the Requisite Holders or as otherwise set forth in the Board Resolution or any indenture supplemental hereto establishing any series of Securities may
declare the principal of all the Securities of such series, or such lesser amount as may be provided for in the 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 the
Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal or such lesser amount shall become immediately due and payable. 
 At any
time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to the 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 provided, the Holders of
not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding 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 of money sufficient to pay: 

(a) all overdue installments of any interest on and Additional Amounts with respect to all Securities of such series, 

(b) the principal of and any premium on any Securities of such series which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of
acceleration and interest thereon and any Additional Amounts with respect thereto at the rate or rates borne by or provided for in such Securities, 
 (c) to the extent that payment of such interest or Additional Amounts is lawful, interest upon overdue installments of any interest and Additional Amounts at the rate or rates borne by or provided for in
such Securities, 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 and all other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.7, and 
 (2) all Events of Default with respect to Securities of such series, other than the non-payment of the principal of, any premium and interest on, and any Additional Amounts with respect to Securities of
such series which shall have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, shall have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.13. 
 No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 Section 5.3 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. 
 The Company covenants that if: 
 (1) default is made in the payment of any
installment of interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to any Security when such interest or Additional Amounts shall have become due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or 

(2) default is made in the payment of the principal of or any premium on any Security or any Additional Amounts with respect thereto at
their Maturity and such default continues for a period of five days, 
 the Company shall, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for
the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount of money then due and payable with respect to such Securities, with interest upon the overdue principal, any premium and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally
enforceable, upon any overdue installments of interest and Additional Amounts at the rate or rates borne by or provided for in such 

  
 30 









 
Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further amount of money 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 and all other amounts due to the Trustee under Section 6.7. 
 If the Company fails to pay the money it is required to pay the Trustee pursuant to the preceding paragraph forthwith upon the demand of the Trustee, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an
express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the money 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
Securities and collect the monies adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities, wherever situated. 

If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to
protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement
of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or such Securities or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein or therein, or to enforce any other proper remedy. 
 Section 5.4 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 
 In case of the pendency
of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities of any series or the property of the Company
or such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made
any demand on the Company for the payment of any overdue principal, premium, interest or Additional Amounts) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, 

(1) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount, or such lesser amount as may be provided for in the Securities of any applicable
series, of the principal and any premium, interest and Additional Amounts owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including
any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents or counsel and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.7) and of the Holders of Securities allowed in such judicial proceeding,
and 
 (2) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the
same; 
 and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is
hereby authorized by each Holder of Securities to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders of Securities, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to 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 of a Security any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or
composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder of a Security in any such proceeding. 

Section 5.5 Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities. 

All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or any of the Securities may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the
possession of any of the Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery or judgment, after
provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, shall be for the ratable benefit of each and every Holder of the Securities in respect of which such judgment has
been recovered. 

  
 31 









 Section 5.6 Application of Money Collected. 

Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article or any money or other property otherwise distributable in respect of the
Company’s obligations under this Indenture shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal, or any premium, interest or Additional
Amounts, upon presentation of the Securities and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

 SECOND: To the payment of all Senior Debt of the Company if and to the extent required by Article Thirteen; 
 THIRD, To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon the Securities for principal and any premium, interest and Additional Amounts in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has
been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the aggregate amounts due and payable on such Securities for principal and any premium, interest and Additional Amounts, respectively; 

FOURTH: The balance, if any, to the Person or Persons entitled thereto. 

Section 5.7 Limitations on Suits. 
 Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, any Securities, or the Board Resolution or any indenture supplemental hereto establishing such series of Securities, no Holder of any Security
of any series shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless: 

(1) an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a
continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such series; 
 (2) the Requisite Holders 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 such indemnity as is reasonably satisfactory to it 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 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 or any Security to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other such Holders or Holders of Securities of any other
series, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all such Holders. 

  
 32 









 Section 5.8 Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal and Any Premium,
Interest and Additional Amounts. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall
have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of, any premium and (subject to Section 3.5) interest on, and any Additional Amounts with respect to such Security on the respective Stated Maturity or
Maturities therefor specified in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date or, in the case of repayment at the option of such Holder if provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, on the date such repayment is due) and to
institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, 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 of a Security 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 each such Holder shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the
Trustee and each such Holder shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted. 
 Section 5.10 Rights and
Remedies Cumulative. 
 Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost
or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of Section 3.6, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to each and every Holder of a Security is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right
and remedy, to the extent permitted by law, shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy
hereunder, or otherwise, shall not, to the extent permitted by law, prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 
 Section 5.11 Delay or Omission Not Waiver. 
 No delay or omission of
the Trustee or of any Holder of any Security to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and
remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to any Holder of a Security may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by such Holder, as the case may be. 

Section 5.12 Control by Holders of Securities. 
 The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to
the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series, provided that: 
 (1) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture or with the Securities of such series or involve the Trustee in any personal liability or expense, 

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

(3) such direction is not unduly prejudicial to the rights of the other Holders of Securities of such series not joining in such action.


  
 33 









 Section 5.13 Waiver of Past Defaults. 

The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series on behalf of the Holders of all
the Securities of such series may waive any past default hereunder with respect to such series and its consequences, except a default: 
 (1) in the payment of the principal of, any premium or interest on, or any Additional Amounts with respect to, any Security of such series, or 

(2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article Nine cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder
of each Outstanding Security of such series affected. 
 Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event
of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

Section 5.14 Waiver of Usury, Stay or Extension Laws. 

The Company covenants that (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner
whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any usury, 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 expressly waives (to
the extent that it may lawfully do so) 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. 
 Section 5.15 Undertaking for Costs. 

All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any
court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of
any undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit having due regard to the merits and good faith of
the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section 5.15 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 Outstanding Securities of any series, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on or Additional Amounts, if any, with respect to
any Security on or after the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date, and, in the case of repayment, on or after the date for repayment) or for the enforcement of the
right, if any, to convert or exchange any Security into Common Stock or other securities in accordance with its terms. 

ARTICLE 6 

THE TRUSTEE 
 Section 6.1 Certain Duties and Responsibilities of the Trustee. 
 (1)

 34 









 
which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the

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

(4) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability

reasonably assured to it. 
 (5) No provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to impose any duty or obligation on the Trustee
to perform any act or acts, receive or obtain any interest in property or exercise any interest in property, or exercise any right, power, duty or obligation conferred or imposed on it in any jurisdiction in which it shall be illegal, or in which
the Trustee shall be unqualified or incompetent in accordance with applicable law, to perform any such act or acts, to receive or obtain any such interest in property or to exercise any such right, power, duty or obligation.

 (5) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by or pursuant to this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders of Securities of any
series pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee such security or indemnity as is reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such
request or direction; 
 (6) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any
resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, coupon or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may but shall not be obligated to make such further

(10) the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be

Within 90 days after the occurrence of any default hereunder with respect to the Securities of any series, the Trustee shall transmit by
mail or Applicable Procedures to all Holders of Securities of such series entitled to receive reports pursuant to Section 7.3(3), notice of such default hereunder known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, unless such default shall have
been cured 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, if any, on, or Additional Amounts with respect to, any Security 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 determines that the withholding of such notice is in
the interests of the Holders of Securities of such series; and provided further that, in the case of any default of the character specified in Section 5.1(5) with respect to Securities of such series, no such notice to Holders shall be given
until at least 10 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 Securities of
such series. 

  
 36

Responsible Officer receives at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee written notice of the default giving rise thereto from the Company or any of the Holders and such notice references the Securities and this Indenture. 

Section 6.4 Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities. 

The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, shall be taken as the
statements of the Company and neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent assumes any responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities, except
that the Trustee represents that it is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Indenture, authenticate the Securities and perform its obligations hereunder and that the statements made by it in any Statement of Eligibility on Form T-1 supplied
to the Company are true and accurate, subject to the qualifications set forth therein. Neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for the use or application by the Company of the Securities or the proceeds thereof.

Registrar or such other Person.

Section 6.7 Compensation and Reimbursement. 
 The Company agrees: 
 (1) to pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable
compensation for all services rendered by the Trustee hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust);

 (3) to indemnify, defend and hold the Trustee and its directors, officers, employees and agents (collectively with the Trustee, the “Indemnitees”) harmless from and against every loss,
liability or expense, including without limitation damages, fines, suits, actions, demands, penalties, costs, out-of-pocket or incidental expenses, legal fees and expenses, and the costs and expenses of defending or preparing to defend against any

compliance with or reliance upon any instruction or other direction upon which the Trustee is authorized to rely pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, and (3) performance under this Indenture, except in the case of such performance only and

 37 









 The Trustee’s claims under this Section shall have priority over all other claims
against the Company under this Indenture. 
 As security for the performance of the obligations of the Company under this
Section, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities of any series upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the payment of principal of, and premium or interest on or any
Additional Amounts with respect to particular Securities. 
 In addition to and without prejudice to its rights hereunder, when
the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with a default specified in Section 5.1, 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 applicable Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law. “Trustee” for purposes of this Section 6.7 shall include any predecessor Trustee, but the negligence, willful misconduct or bad
faith of any Trustee shall not affect the rights of any other Trustee under this Section 6.7. 
 The provisions of this
Section 6.7, including the lien and claim of the Trustee, shall survive the satisfaction, discharge and termination of this Indenture for any reason of this Indenture, including under Article Four hereof, the resignation or removal of the
Trustee and any rejection or termination under any applicable bankruptcy or insolvency law, and shall apply with equal force and effect to the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act
hereunder. 
 Section 6.8 Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility. 

There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a Corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of
America, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, that is eligible under Section 310(a)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act to act as trustee under an indenture qualified under the Trust Indenture Act and that has a combined capital and surplus
(computed in accordance with Section 310(a)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act) of at least $50,000,000, and that is subject to supervision or examination by Federal or state authority. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article. 
 Section 6.9 Disqualification; Conflicting Interests. 
 If the Trustee
has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture
Act and this Indenture. For purposes of Section 310(b)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act and to the extent permitted thereby, the Trustee, in its capacity as trustee in respect of the Securities of any series, shall not be deemed to have a conflict
of interest arising from its capacity as trustee in respect of the Securities of any other series. 
 The Trustee shall comply
with Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act; provided, however, that 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. 

Nothing herein shall prevent the Trustee from filing with the Commission the application referred to in the second to last paragraph of
Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act. 

  
 38

Section 6.10(1), the Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 6.11 shall
not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning or removed Trustee, as the case may be, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee
with respect to such series. 
 (3) The Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the Securities of any series by Act
of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, delivered to the Trustee and the Company. 
 (4) If at any time: 
 (a) the Trustee shall fail to comply with the obligations
imposed upon it under Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to Securities of any series after written request therefor by the Company or any Holder of a Security of such series who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of
such series for at least six months, or 
 (b) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 6.8 and shall fail to
resign after written request therefor by the Company or any such Holder, or 
 (c) 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 or pursuant to a Board Resolution, may remove the Trustee with
respect to all Securities or the Securities of such series, or (ii) subject to Section 5.15, any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all
others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all Securities of such series and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees. 

(5) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any
cause, with respect to the Securities of one or more series, the Company, by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities of such series (it being understood that any such
successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any particular series) and shall comply with the applicable
requirements of Section 6.11. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapacity, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the
applicable requirements of Section 6.11, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee with respect to the
Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders of Securities and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 6.11, any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such
series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series. 

(6) The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series and
each appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series 

  
 39 









 by mailing written notice of such event by first-class mail, postage prepaid, or by Applicable Procedures to
the Holders of Registered Securities, if any, of such series as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and the address of
its Corporate Trust Office. 
 (7) In no event shall any retiring Trustee be liable for the acts or omissions of any successor
Trustee hereunder. 
 Section 6.11 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. 

(1) Upon the appointment hereunder of any successor Trustee with respect to all Securities, such successor Trustee so appointed shall
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and 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 hereunder of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company or such successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee, upon payment of its charges,
shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and, subject to Section 10.3, 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 and lien provided for in Section 6.7. 
 (2) Upon the appointment hereunder of any successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and such successor Trustee shall execute
and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (a) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, such successor
Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (b) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with
respect to all 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 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 (c) 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 such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust, that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder
separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee and that no Trustee shall be responsible for any notice given to, or received by, or any act or failure to act on the part of any other Trustee hereunder,
and, upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein, such retiring Trustee shall have no further responsibility for the
exercise of rights and powers or for the performance of the duties and obligations vested in the Trustee under this Indenture with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates other
than as hereinafter expressly set forth, 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 with respect to the Securities of that or
those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the Company or such successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee, upon payment of its charges with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the
appointment of such successor Trustee relates and subject to Section 10.3 shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee, to the extent contemplated by such supplemental indenture, the property and money held by such retiring
Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, subject to its claim and lien provided for in Section 6.7. 

(3) Upon request of any Person appointed hereunder as a 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 (1) or (2) of this Section, as the case may be. 

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

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

 Any Corporation or eligible entity into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated,
or any Corporation or eligible entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any Corporation or eligible entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the
Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated but not delivered by the Trustee
then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated
such Securities. 
 Section 6.13 Appointment of Authenticating Agent. 

The Trustee may appoint one or more Authenticating Agents acceptable to the Company with respect to one or more series of Securities which
shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of that or those series issued upon original issue, exchange, registration of transfer, partial redemption or partial repayment or pursuant to Section 3.6, and
Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and
delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication
executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. 
 Each Authenticating Agent must be acceptable to the Company
and, except as provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, shall at all times be a Corporation that would be permitted by the Trust Indenture Act to act as trustee under an indenture qualified under the Trust Indenture Act, is authorized under
applicable law and by its charter to act as an Authenticating Agent and has a combined capital and surplus (computed in accordance with Section 310(a)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act) of at least $50,000,000. If at any time an Authenticating
Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section. 
 Any Corporation into which an 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 such
Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any Corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall be the successor of such Authenticating Agent hereunder, provided
such Corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent. 

An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and the Company. The Trustee may at any
time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating
Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall mail written notice of such appointment by first-class
mail, postage prepaid, or by Applicable Procedures, to all Holders of Registered Securities, if any, of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent shall serve, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register. Any
successor Authenticating Agent, upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder, shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor
Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section. 
 The Company agrees to pay each
Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section. If the Trustee makes such payments, it shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments, subject to the provisions of Section 6.7.

 The provisions of Sections 3.7, 6.4 and 6.5 shall be applicable to each Authenticating Agent. 

  
 41 









 If an Authenticating Agent is appointed with respect to one or more series of Securities
pursuant to this Section, the Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in addition to or in lieu of the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication in substantially the following form:

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

 

			
	                           
                         , as Trustee



Dated:                        
     
  

			
	
	 By:
	 	  

		 	As Authenticating Agent
		
	 By:
	 	  

		 	Authorized Signatory


 If all of the Securities of any series may not be originally issued at one time, and if the Trustee
does not have an office capable of authenticating Securities upon original issuance located in a Place of Payment where the Company wishes to have Securities of such series authenticated upon original issuance, the Trustee, if so requested in
writing (which writing need not be accompanied by or contained in an Officer’s Certificate by the Company), shall appoint in accordance with this Section an Authenticating Agent having an office in a Place of Payment designated by the Company
with respect to such series of Securities. 
 Section 6.14 Trustee’s Application for Instructions from the Company.

 Any application by the Trustee for written instructions from the Company may, at the option of the Trustee, set forth in
writing any action proposed to be taken or omitted by the Trustee under this Indenture and the date on and/or after which such action shall be taken or such omission shall be effective. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken by, or
omission of, the Trustee in accordance with a proposal included in such application on or after the date specified in such application (which date shall not be less than three Business Days after the date any officer of the Company actually receives
such application, unless any such officer shall have consented in writing to any earlier date) unless prior to taking any such action (or the effective date in the case of an omission), the Trustee shall have received written instructions in
response to such application specifying the action to be taken or omitted.

 (2) For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 7.4 is not intended to create any obligation to timely file
reports with the Commission. 
 Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee under this Section 7.4
is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with
any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on an Officer’s Certificate). 

ARTICLE 8

 COVENANTS 
 Section 10.1 Payment of Principal, Any Premium,
Interest and Additional Amounts.

Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands. 
 The
Company may also from time to time designate one or more other Offices or Agencies where the Securities of one or more series may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided,
however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an Office or Agency in each Place of Payment for Securities of any series for such purposes. The Company shall give prompt written
notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other Office or Agency. 
 Section 10.3 Money for Securities Payments to Be Held in Trust. 
 If
the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect to any series of Securities, it shall, on or before each due date of the principal of, any premium or interest on or Additional Amounts with respect to any of the Securities of
such series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as
otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.1 for the Securities of such series) sufficient to pay the principal or any premium, interest or Additional Amounts so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of
as herein provided, and shall promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. 
 Whenever the Company shall have
one or more Paying Agents for any series of Securities, it shall, on or prior to each due date of the principal of, any premium or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to any Securities of such series, deposit with any Paying Agent a
sum (in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies described in the preceding paragraph) sufficient to pay the principal or any premium, interest or Additional Amounts so becoming due, such sum to be held
in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. 

The Company shall cause each Paying Agent for any series of Securities other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an
instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section that such Paying Agent shall: 
 (1) hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of, any premium or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to 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 provided in or pursuant to this Indenture;

Securities of such series) in the making of any payment of principal, any premium or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to the 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.

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 terms 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 sums. 
 Except as otherwise provided herein or pursuant hereto, 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, any premium or
interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal or any such premium or interest or any such Additional Amounts shall have become due and payable shall be
paid to the Company on Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment 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, shall, at the written direction and the expense of the Company, cause to be published once, in an Authorized Newspaper in each Place of Payment for such series or to be mailed or sent by Applicable Procedures to Holders of Registered
Securities of such series, or both, 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 publication, mailing or sending nor shall it be later than two years
after such principal and any premium or interest or Additional Amounts shall have become due and payable, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company. Anything in this Section 10.3 to the contrary
notwithstanding, in the absence of a written request from the Company to return unclaimed funds to the Company, the Trustee shall from time to time deliver all unclaimed funds to or as directed by applicable escheat authorities, as determined by the
Trustee in its sole discretion, in accordance with the customary practices and procedures of the Trustee. Any unclaimed funds held by the Trustee pursuant to this Section shall be held uninvested and without any liability for interest. 

Section 10.4 Corporate Existence. 
 Subject to Article Eight, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence and its rights (charter and statutory) and
franchises; provided, however, that no Subsidiary of the Company will be required to preserve its existence, and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary of the Company will be required to preserve any such right or franchise, if the Board of
Directors determines that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and that the loss thereof will not result in a material adverse effect. 

Section 10.5 Waiver of Certain Covenants. 
 The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in Section 10.4 with respect to the Securities of any series if before the time for such
compliance the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, by Act of such Holders, either shall waive such compliance in such instance or generally shall have waived 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 so expressly 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.

 Section 10.6 Company Statement as to Compliance; Notice of Certain Defaults.

 The Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 calendar days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company ending
after the date hereof, an Officer’s Certificate signed by the principal executive officer, principal financial officer, or principal accounting officer of the Company stating whether or not to the knowledge of such person after due inquiry the
Company is in default in the performance and observance of any of the terms, provisions, and conditions of this Indenture (without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided hereunder) and, if the Company is in default,
specifying all such defaults and the nature and status thereof of which such person may have such knowledge. 

Section 10.7 Calculation of Original Issue Discount. 
 The Company shall file with the Trustee promptly at the end of each calendar year (i) a written notice specifying the amount, if any, of original issue discount (including daily rates and accrual
periods) accrued on Outstanding Securities as of the end of such year and (ii) such other specific information relating to such original issue discount as may then be relevant under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to
time. 
 ARTICLE 11 
 REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES 
 Section 11.1 Applicability of Article.

 Redemption of Securities of any series at the option of the Company as permitted or required by the terms of such
Securities shall be made in accordance with the terms of such Securities and (except as otherwise provided herein or pursuant hereto) this Article. 
 Section 11.2 Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee. 
 The election of
the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by or pursuant to a Board Resolution. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company of (a) less than all of the Securities of any series or (b) all of the Securities of any
series, with the same issue date, interest rate or formula, Stated Maturity and other terms, the Company shall, at least five Business Days prior to giving notice of such redemption (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee),
notify the Trustee of the Redemption Date fixed by the Company, of the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed and, if applicable, of the tenor of the Securities to be redeemed. 

Section 11.3 Selection by Trustee of Securities to Be Redeemed. 

If less than all of the Securities of any series with the same issue date, interest rate or formula, Stated Maturity and other terms are
to be redeemed, the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee from the Outstanding Securities of such series not previously called for redemption, in compliance with the
requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Securities are listed or, if the Securities are not then listed on a national securities exchange, on a pro rata basis or by lot, or, by any other method as the Trustee
shall deem fair and appropriate and, if applicable, pursuant to Applicable Procedures and which may provide for the selection for redemption of portions of the principal amount of Registered Securities of such series; provided, however, that no such
partial redemption shall reduce the portion of the principal amount of a Registered Security of such series not redeemed to less than the minimum denomination for a Security of such series established herein or pursuant hereto. 

The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company and the Security Registrar (if other than itself) in writing of the Securities selected for
redemption and, in the case of any Securities selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. 

For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities shall
relate, in the case of any Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal of such Securities which has been or is to be redeemed. 

  
 49 









 Unless otherwise specified in or pursuant to this Indenture or the Securities of any series,
if any Security selected for partial redemption is converted into Common Stock or exchanged for other securities in part before termination of the conversion or exchange right with respect to the portion of the Security so selected, the converted
portion of such Security shall be deemed (so far as may be) to be the portion selected for redemption. Securities which have been converted or exchanged during a selection of Securities to be redeemed shall be treated by the Trustee as Outstanding
for the purpose of such selection. 
 Section 11.4 Notice of Redemption. 

Notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided in Section 1.6, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the
Redemption Date, unless a shorter period is specified in the Securities to be redeemed, to the Holders of Securities to be redeemed. Failure to give notice by mailing or sending by Applicable Procedures in the manner herein provided to the Holder of
any Registered Securities designated for redemption as a whole or in part, or any defect in the notice to any such Holder, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Securities or portion thereof. 

Any notice that is mailed or sent by Applicable Procedures to the Holder of any Registered Securities in the manner herein provided shall
be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not such Holder receives the notice. 
 All notices of redemption
shall state: 
 (1) the Redemption Date, 
 (2) the Redemption Price, 
 (3) if less than all Outstanding Securities of any
series are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the principal amount) of the particular Security or Securities to be redeemed, 
 (4) in case any Security is to be redeemed in part only, the notice which relates to such Security shall state that on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Security, the Holder of such
Security will receive, without charge, a new Security or Securities of authorized denominations for the principal amount thereof remaining unredeemed, 
 (5) that, on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price shall become due and payable upon each such Security or portion thereof to be redeemed, and, if applicable, that interest thereon shall cease to
accrue on and after said date, 
 (6) the place or places where such Securities maturing after the Redemption Date, are to be
surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price and any accrued interest and Additional Amounts pertaining thereto, 
 (7) in
the case of Securities of any series that are convertible into Common Stock or exchangeable for other securities, the conversion or exchange price or rate, the date or dates on which the right to convert or exchange the principal of the Securities
of such series to be redeemed will commence or terminate and the place or places where such Securities may be surrendered for conversion or exchange, and 
 (8) the CUSIP/ISIN numbers or the Euroclear or the Clearstream Banking, societe anonyme reference numbers of such Securities, if any (or any other numbers used by a Depository to identify such
Securities). 
 A notice of redemption published as contemplated by Section 1.6 need not identify particular Registered
Securities to be redeemed. 
 Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Company shall be given by
the Company or, at the Company’s request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company. 

  
 50 









 Section 11.5 Deposit of Redemption Price. 

On or prior to any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit, with respect to the Securities of any series called for redemption pursuant
to Section 11.4, 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 10.3) an amount of money in the applicable Currency sufficient to pay the
Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date, unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.1 or in the Securities of such series) any accrued interest on and Additional Amounts with respect
thereto, all such Securities or portions thereof which are to be redeemed on that date. 
 Section 11.6 Securities
Payable on Redemption Date. 
 Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed shall,
on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest) such Securities shall cease to bear
interest. Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, maturing after the Redemption Date, such Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with any accrued interest and Additional
Amounts to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that, except as otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture or the Registered Securities of such series, installments of interest on Registered Securities whose Stated Maturity is on or
prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the Regular Record Dates therefor according to their terms. 

If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal and any premium, until
paid, shall bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed therefor in the Security. 
 Section 11.7
Securities Redeemed in Part. 
 Any Registered Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at any
Office or Agency for such Security (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company 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 Security without service charge, a new Registered Security or Securities of the same series, containing identical terms
and provisions, 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 Security so surrendered. If a Security in global form is so
surrendered, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the U.S. Depository or other Depository for such Security in global form as shall be specified in the Company Order with respect thereto to the Trustee,
without service charge, a new Security in global form in a denomination equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security in global form so surrendered. 

ARTICLE 12 

REPAYMENT AT THE OPTION OF HOLDERS 
 Section 12.1 Applicability of Article. 
 Securities of any series which
are repayable at the option of the Holders thereof before their Stated Maturity shall be repaid in accordance with the terms of the Securities of such series. The repayment of any principal amount of Securities pursuant to such option of the Holder
to require repayment of Securities before their Stated Maturity, for purposes of Section 3.8, shall not operate as a payment, redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and until the Company, at its
option, shall deliver or surrender the same to the Trustee with a directive that such Securities be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 12.1, in connection with any repayment of Securities, the Company
may arrange for the purchase of any Securities by an agreement with one or more investment bankers or other purchasers to purchase 

  
 51 









 
such Securities by paying to the Holders of such Securities on or before the close of business on the repayment date an amount not less than the repayment price payable by the Company on
repayment of such Securities, and the obligation of the Company to pay the repayment price of such Securities shall be satisfied and discharged to the extent such payment is so paid by such purchasers. 

ARTICLE 13 

SUBORDINATION OF SECURITIES 
 Section 13.1 Agreement to Subordinate. 
 (1) Except as otherwise
specified in or pursuant to this Indenture, any Securities, or the Board Resolution or any indenture supplemental hereto establishing such series of Securities, the Company agrees, and each Holder by accepting a Security agrees, that the
indebtedness evidenced by the Securities is subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Article, to the prior payment in full of all Senior Debt (as defined in Section 13.2 below and whether outstanding on
the date hereof or hereafter) created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed, and that the subordination is for the benefit of the holders of Senior Debt. 
 (2) If any holder of Senior Debt is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, or any trustee, or similar official acting in relation to the Company, any amount paid by the Company to
such holder of Senior Debt, the provisions of this Article Thirteen, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect; provided, however, that any amounts paid pursuant to this Indenture to Holders of Securities
shall not be subject to disgorgement pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph (2). 
 Section 13.2 Certain
Definitions. 
 “Designated Senior Debt” means any Senior Debt permitted under this Indenture specified in
the applicable supplemental indenture or Board Resolution and that has been designated by the Company as “Designated Senior Debt.” 
 “Obligations” means any principal, premium, interest, penalties, fees, indemnifications, reimbursements, damages and other liabilities payable (1) under this Indenture or the
applicable Securities, or (2) under any Senior Debt. 
 “Representative” means the indenture trustee or
other trustee, agent or representative for any Designated Senior Debt. 
 “Senior Debt” means any indebtedness
unless the instrument under which such indebtedness is incurred expressly provides that it is on a parity with or subordinated in right of payment to the Securities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, Senior Debt will not
include (1) any indebtedness of the Company to any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates, (2) any trade payables or (3) any indebtedness that is incurred in violation of this Indenture. 

A “distribution” may consist of cash, securities or other property, by set-off or otherwise. 

Section 13.3 Liquidation; Dissolution; Bankruptcy. 
 Upon any distribution to creditors of the Company in a liquidation or dissolution of the Company or in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding relating to the Company
or its property, an assignment for the benefit of creditors or any marshalling of the Company’s assets and liabilities: 

(1) holders of Senior Debt shall be entitled to receive payment in full of all Obligations due in respect of such Senior Debt (including
interest after the commencement of any such proceeding at the rate specified in the applicable Senior Debt) before the Holders of Securities shall be entitled to receive any payment with respect to the Securities (except that Holders may receive
(i) securities that are subordinated to at least the same extent as the Securities to (a) Senior Debt and (b) any securities issued in exchange for Senior Debt and (ii) payments and other distributions made from any trust created
pursuant to Article Four hereof); and 

  
 52 









 (2) until all Obligations with respect to Senior Debt (as provided in subsection
(1) above) are paid in full, any distribution to which the Holders of Securities would be entitled but for this Article shall be made to holders of Senior Debt (except that Holders may receive (i) securities that are subordinated to at
least the same extent as the Securities to (a) Senior Debt and (b) any securities issued in exchange for Senior Debt and (ii) payments and other distributions made from any trust created pursuant to Article Four hereof), as their
interests may appear. 
 Section 13.4 Default on Designated Senior Debt. 

(1) The Company may not make any payment or distribution to the Trustee or any Holder in respect of the Securities and may not acquire
from the Trustee or any Holder any Securities for cash or property (other than (A) securities that are subordinated to at least the same extent as the Securities to (i) Senior Debt and (ii) any securities issued in exchange for Senior
Debt and (B) payments and other distributions made from any trust created pursuant to Article Four hereof) until all principal and other Obligations with respect to the Senior Debt have been paid in full if: 

(a) a default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on Designated Senior Debt occurs and is continuing beyond
any applicable grace period in the agreement, indenture or other document governing such Designated Senior Debt; or 
 (b) a
default, other than a default specified in Section 13.4(a)(1), on Designated Senior Debt occurs and is continuing with respect to Designated Senior Debt that then permits holders of the Designated Senior Debt as to which such default relates to
accelerate its maturity and the Trustee receives a notice of the default (a “Payment Blockage Notice”) from a Person who may give it pursuant to Section 13.12 hereof. If the Trustee receives any such Payment Blockage Notice, no
subsequent Payment Blockage Notice shall be effective for purposes of this Section unless and until (i) at least 360 days shall have elapsed since the effectiveness of the immediately prior Payment Blockage Notice and (ii) all scheduled
payments of principal and premium, if any, and interest on and Additional Amounts with respect to the Securities that have come due (other than by reason of acceleration) have been paid in full in cash. No default described in this paragraph
(b) that existed or was continuing on the date of delivery of any Payment Blockage Notice to the Trustee shall be, or be made, the basis for a subsequent Payment Blockage Notice. 

(2) The Company may and shall resume payments on and distributions in respect of the Securities and may acquire them: 

(a) in the case of a default described in Section 13.4(1)(a), upon the date on which the default is cured or waived, 

(b) in the case of a default referred to in Section 13.4(1)(b) hereof, the earlier of the date on which such default is cured or
waived or 179 days after the date on which the applicable Payment Blockage Notice is received, unless the maturity of any Designated Senior Debt has been accelerated, and 
 (3) if this Article otherwise permits the payment, distribution or acquisition at the time of such payment, distribution or acquisition. 

Section 13.5 Acceleration of Securities. 
 If payment of the Securities is accelerated because of an Event of Default, the Company shall promptly notify holders of Senior Debt of the acceleration. 

  
 53 









 Section 13.6 When Distribution Must Be Paid Over. 

In the event that the Trustee or any Holder receives any payment of any Obligations with respect to the Securities at a time when a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee or such Holder, as applicable, has actual knowledge that such payment is prohibited by Section 13.4 hereof, such payment shall be held by the Trustee or such Holder, in trust for the benefit of, and shall be
paid forthwith over and delivered, upon written request, to, the holders of Senior Debt as their interests may appear or their Representative under the indenture or other agreement (if any) pursuant to which Senior Debt may have been issued, as
their respective interests may appear, for application to the payment of all Obligations with respect to Senior Debt remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay such Obligations in full in accordance with their terms, after giving effect to any
concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of Senior Debt. 
 With respect to the holders of Senior Debt, the
Trustee undertakes to perform only such obligations on the part of the Trustee as are specifically set forth in this Article Thirteen, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of Senior Debt shall be read into this
Indenture against the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Debt, and shall not be liable to any such holders if the Trustee shall pay over or distribute to or on behalf of Holders or the Company
or any other Person money or assets to which any holders of Senior Debt shall be entitled by virtue of this Article Thirteen, except if such payment is made as a result of the grossly negligent action or failure to act, or its own willful misconduct
of the Trustee. 
 Section 13.7 Notice by Company. 

The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee and any Paying Agent of any facts known to the Company that would cause a payment of any
Obligations with respect to the Securities to violate this Article, but failure to give such notice shall not affect the subordination of the Securities to the Senior Debt as provided in this Article. 

Section 13.8 Subrogation. 
 After all Senior Debt is paid in full and until the Securities are paid in full, Holders shall be subrogated (equally and ratably with all other Indebtedness pari passu with the Securities) to the rights
of holders of Senior Debt to receive distributions applicable to Senior Debt to the extent that distributions otherwise payable to the Holders have been applied to the payment of Senior Debt. A distribution made under this Article to holders of
Senior Debt that otherwise would have been made to Holders is not, as between the Company and Holders, a payment by the Company on the Senior Debt. 
 Section 13.9 Relative Rights. 
 This Article defines the relative
rights of Holders and holders of Senior Debt. Nothing in this Indenture shall: 
 (1) impair, as between the Company and
Holders, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, and Additional Amounts with respect to, the Securities in accordance with their terms; 

(2) affect the relative rights of Holders and creditors of the Company other than rights of Holders of the Securities in relation to
holders of Senior Debt; or 
 (3) prevent the Trustee or any Holder from exercising its available remedies upon a Event of
Default, subject to the rights of holders and owners of Senior Debt to receive distributions and payments otherwise payable to Holders. 
 If the Company fails because of this Article to pay principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, or Additional Amounts with respect to, a Security on the due date, the failure is still a Event of
Default. 

  
 54 









 Section 13.10 Subordination May Not Be Impaired by Company. 

No right of any holder of Senior Debt to enforce the subordination of the indebtedness evidenced by the Securities shall be impaired by
any act or failure to act by the Company or any Holder or by the failure of the Company or any Holder to comply with this Indenture. 
 Section 13.11 Distribution or Notice to Representative. 
 Whenever a
distribution is to be made or a notice given to holders of Senior Debt, the distribution may be made and the notice given to their Representative. 
 Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article Thirteen, the Trustee and the Holders shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any court of
competent jurisdiction or upon any certificate of such Representative (or of any holder of Senior Debt for which there is no Representative) or of the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making any distribution to the Trustee or to the
Holders for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of the Senior Debt and other Indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed
thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article Thirteen. In the event that the Trustee determines, in good faith, that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Senior Debt to participate
in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article Thirteen, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Senior Debt held by such Person, the extent to which such
Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article Thirteen and, if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment to such Person pending
judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment. 
 Section 13.12 Rights of Trustee and
Paying Agent. 
 Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article Thirteen or any other provision of this Indenture, the
Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts that would prohibit the making of any payment or distribution by the Trustee, and the Trustee and any Paying Agent may continue to make payments on the Securities, unless the
Trustee shall have received at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee at least five Business Days prior to the date of such payment written notice of facts that would cause the payment of any Obligations with respect to the Securities to violate
this Article or a Responsible Officer of the Trustee otherwise has actual knowledge of such facts. Only the Company or a Representative may give the notice, such notice from the Company to be in the form of an Officers’ Certificate.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article Thirteen or any other provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts that would permit the resumption of payments on or distributions in
respect of the Securities or the acquisition of the Securities by the Company unless the Trustee shall have received an Officers’ Certificate or a notice from a Representative to the effect that such resumption is permitted. Nothing in this
Article Thirteen shall impair the claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 6.7 hereof. 
 The
Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may hold Senior Debt with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. 

Section 13.13 Authorization to Effect Subordination. 
 Each Holder of a Security by the Holder’s acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee on the Holder’s behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the
subordination as provided in this Article Thirteen, and appoints the Trustee to act as the Holder’s attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.

shall be proved in the manner specified in Section 1.4 and the appointment of any proxy shall be proved in the manner specified in Section 1.4. Such regulations may provide that written instruments appointing proxies, regular on their

 (2) The Trustee
shall, by an instrument in writing, appoint a temporary chairman of the meeting, unless the meeting shall have been called by the Company or by Holders of Securities as provided in Section 14.2(2), in which case the Company or the Holders of

 (3) At any meeting, each Holder of
