Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice,
either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee for such Securities, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any
action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

If any Security of a series is issuable in global form, such Security may provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of Outstanding
Securities 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 a Security in global

Identifying 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 identifying 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 Identifying Numbers.

 All
Securities of any particular series and the coupons appertaining to any Bearer Securities of such series shall be substantially identical except as to denomination, rate of interest, Stated Maturity and the date from which interest, if any, shall

such Securities, as set forth above, may be determined by the Company from time to time if so provided in or established pursuant to the authority granted in its Board Resolutions. All Securities of any one series need not be issued at the same
time, and unless otherwise provided, a series may be reopened for issuance of additional Securities of such series. 
 Prior to the delivery
of a Security of any series in any such form to the Trustee for the Securities of such series for authentication, the Company shall deliver to such Trustee the following: 

(1) The Board Resolutions of the Company by or pursuant to which such form of Security have been approved and, if applicable,
the supplemental indenture by or pursuant to which such form of Security has been approved; 
 (2) An Officers’
Certificate of the Company dated the date such Certificate is delivered to such Trustee satisfying the requirements of Sections 102 and 103, and stating that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to the authentication
and delivery of Securities in such forms have been complied with; and 

  
 - 23 - 








 (3) An Opinion of Counsel satisfying the requirements of Sections 102 and
103 substantially to the effect that Securities in such forms, together with any coupons appertaining thereto, when (a) completed by appropriate insertions and executed and delivered by the Company to such Trustee for authentication in
accordance with this Indenture, (b) authenticated and delivered by such Trustee in accordance with this Indenture, and (c) issued by the Company in the manner and subject to the conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will
constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, subject to the effects of applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium, insolvency and other similar laws generally affecting creditors’ rights, to
general equitable principles, to an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing and to such other qualifications as such counsel shall conclude do not materially affect the rights of Holders of such Securities. 

Section 302. Denominations and Currencies. 

Unless otherwise provided with respect to any series of Securities as contemplated by Section 301, any Registered Securities of a series
other than Registered Securities issued in global form (which may be of any denomination) shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof, and any Bearer Securities of a series other than Bearer Securities issued in
global for (which may be of any denomination) shall be issuable in the denomination of $5,000, or the equivalent amounts thereof in the case of Registered Securities and Bearer Securities denominated in a Foreign Currency or currency unit. 

Section 303. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. 

The Securities and any related coupons shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, a Vice Chairman of the Board,
or its President, Chief Executive Officer or one of its Vice Presidents. The Securities shall be so executed under the corporate seal of the Company reproduced thereon and attested to by its Secretary or any one of its Assistant Secretaries. The
signature of any of these officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile. 
 Securities and coupons 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 such Securities. 
 At any time and from time to time after the execution and
delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series together with any coupons appertaining thereto, executed by the Company (and, if applicable, having endorsed thereon the Note Guarantees executed as provided in
Section 1403 hereof) to the Trustee for the Securities of such series for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and such Trustee, in accordance with the Company Order, shall
authenticate and deliver such Securities; provided, however, that, during the “restricted period” (as defined in Section 1.163-5(c)(2)(i)(D)(7) of the United States Treasury Regulations),
no Bearer Security 

  
 - 24 - 








 
shall be mailed or otherwise delivered to any location in the United States; and provided, further, that a Bearer Security may be delivered outside the United States in connection with its
original issuance only if the Person entitled to receive such Bearer Security shall have furnished to the Trustee for the Securities of such series a certificate substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit B to this Indenture. If any Security
shall be represented by a permanent Global Security, then, for purposes of this Section and Section 304, the notation of a beneficial owner’s interest therein upon original issuance of such Security or upon exchange of a portion of a
temporary Global Security shall be deemed to be delivery in connection with the original issuance of such beneficial owner’s interest in such permanent Global Security. Except as permitted by Section 306 or 307, the Trustee for the
Securities of a series shall not authenticate and deliver any Bearer Security unless all appurtenant coupons for interest then matured other than matured coupons in default have been detached and cancelled. If all the Securities of any one series
are not to be issued at one time and if a Board Resolution relating to such Securities shall so permit, such Company Order may set forth procedures acceptable to the Trustee for the issuance of such Securities, including, without limitation,
procedures with respect to interest rate, Stated Maturity, date of issuance and date from which interest, if any, shall accrue. 

Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, if all Securities of a series are not to be originally issued at one time, it shall not be
necessary to deliver the Board Resolution, Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel otherwise required pursuant to Sections 102 and 301 at or prior to the time of authentication of each Security of such series if such documents are
delivered at or prior to the authentication upon original issuance of the first Security of such series to be issued. 
 Each Registered
Security shall be dated the date of its authentication, and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, each Bearer Security shall be dated as of the date of original issuance of the first Security of such series to be issued.

 No Security or coupon appertaining thereto or Note Guarantee endorsed thereon 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 herein manually executed by the Trustee for such Security or on its behalf pursuant to Section 614,
and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. 

In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent for such series then in
office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such Trustee, or any successor Authenticating Agent, as the case may be, may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such
successor Trustee or successor Authenticating Agent had itself authenticated such Securities. 
 Each Depositary designated pursuant to
Section 301 for a Global Security in registered form must, at the time of its designation and at all times while it serves as Depositary, be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and any other applicable statute or regulation.


  
 - 25 - 








 The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Securities under this
Section if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith shall determine that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability to existing Holders. 

Section 304. Temporary Securities and Exchange of Securities. 

Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any particular series, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee for the
Securities of such series shall authenticate and deliver, in the manner specified in Section 303, temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, photocopied or otherwise produced, in any denomination, with like terms and
conditions as the definitive Securities of like series in lieu of which they are issued in registered form or, if authorized, in bearer form with one or more coupons or without coupons, and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions
and other variations as the officers executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities. Any such temporary Securities may be in global form, representing such of the Outstanding Securities of such series as
shall be specified therein. 
 Except in the case of temporary Securities in global form (which shall be exchanged only in accordance with
the provisions of the following paragraphs or as otherwise provided in or pursuant to a Board Resolution or a Supplemental Indenture), if temporary Securities of any particular series are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities of that
series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of such definitive Securities, the temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for such definitive Securities of a like Stated Maturity and with like terms and
provisions upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such series, together with all unmatured coupons and matured coupons in default, if any, at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that series, without charge to the
Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any particular series, the Company shall execute and (in accordance with a Company Order delivered at or prior to the authentication of the first definitive Security
of such series) the Trustee for the Securities of such series or the Global Exchange Agent shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Securities of authorized denominations of the same series and of a
like Stated Maturity and with like terms and provisions; provided, however, unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301, no definitive Bearer Security shall be delivered in exchange for a temporary Registered Security; and
provided, further, that a definitive Bearer Security shall be delivered in exchange for a temporary Bearer Security only in compliance with the conditions set forth in Section 303. Until exchanged as hereinabove provided, the
temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of the same series and with like terms and conditions, except as to payment of interest, if any, authenticated
and delivered hereunder. 
 Any temporary Global Security and any permanent Global Security shall, unless otherwise provided therein, be
delivered to a Depositary designated pursuant to Section 301. 
 Without unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the date
specified in or determined pursuant to the terms of any such temporary Global Security (the “Exchange Date”), the Securities represented by any temporary Global Security of a series of Securities issuable in


  
 - 26 - 








 
bearer form may be exchanged for definitive Securities (subject to the second succeeding paragraph) or Securities to be represented thereafter by one or more permanent Global Securities, without
interest coupons. On or after the Exchange Date such temporary Global Security shall be surrendered by the Depositary to the Trustee for such Security, as the Company’s agent for such purpose, or the agent appointed by the Company pursuant to
Section 301 to effect the exchange of the temporary Global Security for definitive Securities (the “Global Exchange Agent”), and following such surrender, such Trustee or the Global Exchange Agent (as authorized by the Trustee as an
Authenticating Agent pursuant to Section 614) shall (1) endorse the temporary Global Security to reflect the reduction of its principal amount by an equal aggregate principal amount of such Security, (2) endorse the applicable
permanent Global Security, if any, to reflect the initial amount, or an increase in the amount of Securities represented thereby, (3) manually authenticate such definitive Securities or such permanent Global Security, as the case may be,
(4) subject to Section 303, deliver such definitive Securities to the Holder thereof or, as the case may be, deliver such permanent Global Security to the Depositary to be held outside the United States for the accounts of Euroclear and
Clearstream Banking, for credit to the respective accounts at Euroclear and Clearstream Banking, designated by or on behalf of the beneficial owners of such Securities (or to such other accounts as they may direct) and (5) redeliver such
temporary Global Security to the Depositary, unless such temporary Global Security shall have been cancelled in accordance with Section 309 hereof; provided, however, that, unless otherwise specified in such temporary Global
Security, upon such presentation by the Depositary, such temporary Global Security shall be accompanied by a certificate dated the Exchange Date or a subsequent date and signed by Euroclear as to the portion of such temporary Global Security held
for its account then to be exchanged for definitive Securities or one or more permanent Global Securities, as the case may be, and a certificate dated the Exchange Date or a subsequent date and signed by Clearstream Banking, as to the portion of
such temporary Global Security held for its account then to be exchanged for definitive Securities or one or more permanent Global Securities, as the case may be, each substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit C to this Indenture. Each
certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto of Euroclear or Clearstream Banking, as the case may be, shall be based on certificates of the account holders listed in the records of Euroclear or Clearstream Banking, as the case may be,
as being entitled to all or any portion of the applicable temporary Global Security. An account holder of Euroclear or Clearstream Banking, as the case may be, desiring to effect the exchange of interest in a temporary Global Security for an
interest in definitive Securities or one or more permanent Global Securities shall instruct Euroclear or Clearstream Banking, as the case may be, to request such exchange on its behalf and shall deliver to Euroclear or Clearstream Banking, as the
case may be, a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto and dated no earlier than 15 days prior to the Exchange Date. Until so exchanged, temporary Global Securities shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under
this Indenture as definitive Securities and permanent Global Securities of the same series authenticated and delivered hereunder, except as provided in the fourth succeeding paragraph. 

The delivery to the Trustee for the Securities of the appropriate series or the Global Exchange Agent by Euroclear or Clearstream Banking of
any certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto may be relied upon by the Company and such Trustee or the Global Exchange Agent as conclusive evidence that a corresponding certificate or certificates has or have been delivered to
Euroclear or to Clearstream Banking, as the case may be, pursuant to the terms of this Indenture. 

  
 - 27 - 








 On or prior to the Exchange Date, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee for the Securities of
the appropriate series or the Global Exchange Agent definitive Securities or one or more permanent Global Securities in aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such temporary Global Security, executed by the Company in the case
of the Securities. At any time, on or after the Exchange Date, upon 30 days’ notice to the Trustee for the Securities of the appropriate series or the Global Exchange Agent by Euroclear or Clearstream Banking, as the case may be, acting at
the request of or on behalf of the beneficial owner, a Security represented by a temporary Global Security or a permanent Global Security, as the case may be, may be exchanged, in whole or from time to time in part, for definitive Securities without
charge and such Trustee or the Global Exchange Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for each portion of such temporary Global Security or such permanent Global Security, an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of
the same series of authorized denominations and with like terms and provisions as the portion of such temporary Global Security or such permanent Global Security to be exchanged, which, unless the Securities of the series are not issuable both as
Bearer Securities and as Registered Securities, as contemplated by Section 301, shall be in the form of Bearer Securities or Registered Securities, or any combination thereof, as shall be specified by the beneficial owner thereof;
provided, however, that definitive Bearer Securities shall be delivered in exchange for a portion of the temporary Global Security or the permanent Global Security only in compliance with the requirements of the second preceding
paragraph. On or prior to the thirtieth day following receipt by the Trustee for the Securities of the appropriate series or the Global Exchange Agent of such notice with respect to a Security, or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next
succeeding Business Day, the temporary Global Security or the permanent Global Security, as the case may be, shall be surrendered by the Depositary to such Trustee, as the Company’s agent for such purpose, or the Global Exchange Agent to be
exchanged in whole, or from time to time in part, for definitive Securities without charge following such surrender, upon the request of Euroclear or Clearstream Banking, as the case may be, and such Trustee or the Global Exchange Agent shall
(1) endorse the applicable temporary Global Security or the permanent Global Security to reflect the reduction of its principal amount by the aggregate principal amount of such Security, (2) in accordance with procedures acceptable to the
Trustee cause the terms of such Security and coupons, if any, to be entered on a definitive Security, (3) manually authenticate such definitive Security and (4) if a Bearer Security is to be delivered, deliver such definitive Security
outside the United States to Euroclear or Clearstream Banking, as the case may be, for or on behalf of the beneficial owner thereof, in exchange for a portion of such permanent Global Security. 

Unless otherwise specified in such temporary Global Security or permanent Global Security, any such exchange shall be made free of charge to
the beneficial owners of such temporary Global Security or permanent Global Security, except that a Person receiving definitive Securities must bear the cost of any taxes, insurance, postage, transportation and the like in the event that such Person
does not take delivery of such definitive Securities in person at the offices of Euroclear or Clearstream Banking. Definitive Securities in bearer form to be delivered in exchange for any portion of a temporary Global Security or a permanent Global
Security shall be delivered only outside the United States. 
 Until exchanged in full as hereinabove provided, any temporary Global
Security or permanent Global Security shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of the same series and with like terms and conditions, except as


  
 - 28 - 








 
to payment of interest, if any, authenticated and delivered hereunder. Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, interest payable on such temporary Global Security on an
Interest Payment Date for Securities of such series shall be payable to Euroclear and Clearstream Banking on such Interest Payment Date upon delivery by Euroclear and Clearstream Banking to the Trustee for the Securities of the appropriate series or
the Global Exchange Agent in the case of payment of interest on a temporary Global Security with respect to an Interest Payment Date occurring prior to the applicable Exchange Date of a certificate or certificates substantially in the form set forth
in Exhibit D to this Indenture, for credit without further interest on or after such Interest Payment Date to the respective accounts of the Persons who are the beneficial owners of such Global Security on such Interest Payment Date and who have, in
the case of payment of interest on a temporary Global Security with respect to an Interest Payment Date occurring prior to the applicable Exchange Date, each delivered to Euroclear or Clearstream Banking, as the case may be, a certificate
substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit E to this Indenture. 
 Any definitive Bearer Security authenticated and delivered by the
Trustee for the Securities of the appropriate series or the Global Exchange Agent in exchange for a portion of a temporary Global Security or a permanent Global Security shall not bear a coupon for any interest which shall theretofore have been duly
paid by such Trustee to Euroclear or Clearstream Banking or by the Company to such Trustee in accordance with the provisions of this Section 304. 

With respect to Exhibits A, B, C and D to this Indenture, the Company may, in its discretion and if required or desirable under
applicable law, substitute one or more other forms of such exhibits for such exhibits, eliminate the requirement that any or all certificates be provided, or change the time that any certificate may be required, provided that such substitute
form or forms or notice of elimination or change of such certification requirement have theretofore been delivered to the Trustee with a Company Request and such form or forms, elimination or change is reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. 

Section 305. Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange. 

The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee for the Securities of each series a register (the register
maintained in such office being herein sometimes referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Registered Securities and of
transfers of Registered Securities. The Trustee for the Securities of each series is hereby initially appointed “Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering Registered Securities and transfers of Registered Securities of such series
as herein provided. 
 Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Registered Security of any particular series at the office or
agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that series, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee for the Securities of each series shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new
Registered Securities of any authorized denominations, and of a like Stated Maturity and of a like series and aggregate principal amount and with like terms and conditions. 

  
 - 29 - 








 Except as set forth below, at the option of the Holder, Registered Securities of any particular
series may be exchanged for other Registered Securities of any authorized denominations, and of a like Stated Maturity and of a like series and aggregate principal amount and with like terms and conditions upon surrender of the Registered Securities
to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee for such Securities shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is
entitled to receive. Except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301, Registered Securities may not be exchanged for Bearer Securities. 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section or Section 304, unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for
Registered Securities in definitive form, a Global Security representing all or a portion of the Registered Securities of a series may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary for such series to a nominee of such Depositary or by a
nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or by such Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary for such series or a nominee of such successor Depositary. 

If (but not only if) permitted by the applicable Board Resolution and (subject to Section 308) set forth in the applicable Officer’s
Certificate, at the option of the Holder, Bearer Securities of any series may be exchanged for Registered Securities of the same series of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and with like terms and provisions upon
surrender of the Bearer Securities to be exchanged at any office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that series, with all unmatured coupons and all matured coupons in default thereto appertaining. If the Holder of a Bearer Security
is unable to produce any such unmatured coupon or coupons or matured coupon or coupons in default, such exchange may be effected if the Bearer Securities are accompanied by payment in funds acceptable to the Company (or to the Trustee for the
Security in case of matured coupons in default) in an amount equal to the face amount of such missing coupon or coupons, or the surrender of such missing coupon or coupons may be waived by the Company and such Trustee if there is furnished to them
such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them and any Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder of such Security shall surrender to any Paying Agent any such missing coupon in respect of which such a payment shall have
been made, such Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount of such payment; provided, however, that, except as otherwise provided in Section 1002, interest represented by coupons shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender
of those coupons at an office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that series located outside the United States. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in case a Bearer Security of any series is surrendered at any such office or agency in
exchange for a Registered Security of the same series and with like terms and conditions after the close of business at such office or agency on or after (i) any Regular Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on
the relevant Interest Payment Date, or (ii) any Special Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the related proposed date for payment of Defaulted Interest, such Bearer Security shall be surrendered without
the coupon relating to such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be (or, if such coupon is so surrendered with such Bearer Security, such coupon shall be returned to the person so surrendering the Bearer Security), and
interest or Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, will not be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, in respect of the Registered Security issued in exchange for such Bearer Security, but will be
payable only to the Holder of such coupon when due in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. 

  
 - 30 - 








 Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the
Trustee for such Securities shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 

If at any time the Depositary for Securities of a series in registered form notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as
Depositary for the Securities of such series or if at any time the Depositary for the Securities of such series shall no longer be eligible under Section 303, the Company shall appoint a successor Depositary with respect to the Securities for
such series. If (i) a successor Depositary for the Securities of such series is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, (ii) the Company delivers to
the Trustee for Securities of such series in registered form a Company Order stating that the Securities of such series shall be exchangeable, or (iii) an Event of Default under Section 501 hereof has occurred and is continuing with
respect to the Securities of such series, the Company’s election pursuant to Section 301 shall no longer be effective with respect to the Securities for such series and the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company
Order for the authentication and delivery of definitive Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver Securities of such series in definitive form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security or
Securities representing such series in exchange for such Global Security or Securities. 
 The Company may at any time and in its sole
discretion determine that the Registered Securities of any series issued in the form of one or more Global Securities shall no longer be represented by such Global Security or Securities. In such event the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon
receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of definitive Registered Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver, Registered Securities of such series in definitive form and in an aggregate principal amount equal to
the principal amount of the Global Security or Securities representing such series in exchange for such Global Security or Securities. 
 If
specified in a Board Resolution adopted by the Company pursuant to Section 301 with respect to a series of Securities in registered form, the Depositary for such series of Securities may surrender a Global Security for such series of Securities
in exchange in whole or in part for Securities of such series of like tenor and terms and in definitive form on such terms as are acceptable to the Company and such Depositary. Thereupon the Company shall execute, and, upon receipt of a Company
Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, without service charge, (i) to each Person specified by such Depositary a new Security or Securities of the same series, of like tenor and terms and of any authorized denomination as requested
by such Person in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for such Person’s beneficial interest in the Global Security; and (ii) to such Depositary a new Global Security of like tenor and terms and in a denomination equal to
the difference, if any, between the principal amount of the surrendered Global Security and the aggregate principal amount of Securities delivered to Holders thereof. 

  
 - 31 - 








 Upon the exchange of a Global Security for Securities in definitive form representing the
aggregate principal amount of such Global Security, such Global Security shall be cancelled by the Trustee. Registered Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security pursuant to this Section shall be registered in such names and in such
authorized denominations as the Depositary for such Global Security, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee in writing. The Trustee shall deliver such Registered Securities to the
persons in whose names such Securities are so registered. 
 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 entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 

Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee 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 series 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 of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 304, 906 or 1107 not involving any transfer. 

The Company shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange Securities of any series during a period beginning
at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities of that series selected for redemption under Section 1104 and ending at the close of business on (A) if Securities of the series
are issuable only as Registered Securities, the day of the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption and (B) if Securities of the series are issuable as Bearer Securities, the day of the first publication of the relevant notice of redemption
or, if Securities of the series are also issuable as Registered Securities and there is no publication, the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Registered Security so selected for
redemption as a whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part, or (iii) to exchange any Bearer Security so selected for redemption except that such a Bearer Security may be exchanged for a Registered
Security of that series and like tenor; provided, however, that such Registered Security shall be simultaneously surrendered for redemption. 

Furthermore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 305, the Company will not be required to exchange any Securities if, as
a result of the exchange, the Company would suffer adverse consequences under any United States law or regulation. 
 Section 306. Mutilated,
Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities and Coupons. 
 If (i) any mutilated Security or a Security with a mutilated coupon
appertaining thereto is surrendered to the Trustee for such Security or the Company and the Trustee for a Security receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security or coupon


  
 - 32 - 








 
and (ii) there is delivered to the Company and such Trustee 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 such Trustee that such Security or coupon has been acquired by a bona fide or protected purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its request such Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such
destroyed, lost or stolen Security or in exchange for such mutilated Security, or in exchange for the Security to which a mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertains (with all appurtenant coupons not mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen)
a new Security of the same series and in a like principal amount and of a like Stated Maturity and with like terms and conditions, and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding with coupons corresponding to the coupons, if any, appertaining
to such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security or to the Security to which such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertains. 

In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security or coupon 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 or coupon (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Security or coupon) if the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the Company and the Trustee for such
Security such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, and in case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence satisfactory to the Company and such Trustee and any agent of any of them of the destruction, loss or
theft of such Security and the ownership thereof; provided, however, that the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on Bearer Securities shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 1002, be payable only at an office
or agency located outside the United States and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, any interest on Bearer Securities shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of the coupons appertaining thereto. 

Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including all fees and expenses of the Trustee for such Security) connected therewith. 

Every new Security of any series, with its coupons, if any, issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen
Security or in exchange for any mutilated Security, or in exchange for a Security to which a mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertains shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company whether or not the
destroyed, lost or stolen Security and its coupons, if any, or the destroyed, lost or stolen coupon shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and each such new Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and each such new Security shall
be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of the same series and their coupons, if any, duly issued hereunder. 

The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the
replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities or coupons.

 Section 307. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved. 

Interest on any Registered Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall, if so
provided in such Security, be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest payment. 

Unless otherwise provided with respect to the Securities of any series, payment of interest may be made at the Corporate Trust Office or, at
the option of the Company (i) in the case of Registered Securities, may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register, or (ii) in the case of Bearer Securities,
upon presentation and surrender of the appropriate coupon appertaining thereto or by transfer to an account maintained by the payee with a bank located outside the United States. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Holder of $5,000,000 or more in
aggregate principal amount of Securities of any series in definitive form (other than Bearer Securities), whether having identical or different terms and provisions, having the same Interest Payment Dates will, at the option of the Company, be
entitled to receive interest payments, other than at Maturity, by wire transfer of immediately available funds if appropriate wire transfer instructions have been received in writing by the Trustee for the Securities of such series at least
15 days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date. Any wire instructions received by the Trustee for the Securities of such series shall remain in effect until revoked by the Holder. 

Unless otherwise provided or contemplated by Section 301, every permanent Global Security will provide that interest, if any, payable on
any Interest Payment Date will be paid to each of Euroclear and Clearstream Banking with respect to that portion of such permanent Global Security held for its account by the Depositary. Each of Euroclear and Clearstream Banking will in such
circumstances credit the interest received by it in respect of such permanent Global Security to the accounts of the beneficial owners thereof. 

Any interest on any Registered Security of any particular series which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any
Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder 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 Persons in whose names the Registered Securities of that series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such
Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee for the Registered Securities of such series in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Registered Security of
that series and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with such Trustee an amount of money in the currency or currency unit in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified
pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series and except as provided in Sections 311(b) and 311(d)), equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements
satisfactory to such Trustee 

  
 - 34 - 








 
for such deposit on or prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this
clause provided. Thereupon such Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall not be more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than
10 days after the receipt by such Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. Such Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed
payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of Registered Securities of that series at his address as it appears in the
Security Register not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to
the Persons in whose names the Registered Securities of that series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (2). 

(2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on Registered Securities of any particular series in any other
lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Registered Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice is given by the Company to the Trustee for
the Securities of such series of the proposed manner of payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by such Trustee. 

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section and Section 305, 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. 

Section 308. Persons Deemed Owners. 

Prior to due presentment of a Registered Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee for such Security and any agent of the
Company or such Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any such Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 307) interest, if any,
on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and none of the Company, such Trustee or any agent of the Company or such Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

Title to any Bearer Security and any coupons appertaining thereto shall pass by delivery. The Company, the Trustee for such Security and any
agent of the Company or such Trustee may treat the bearer of any Bearer Security and the bearer of any coupon as the absolute owner of such Bearer Security or coupon for the purpose of receiving payment thereof or on account thereof and for all
other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security or coupon be overdue, and none of the Company, such Trustee or any agent of the Company or such Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

  
 - 35 - 








 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. 
 Section 309. Cancellation. 

All Securities and coupons surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange, or delivered in satisfaction of any
sinking fund payment, shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee for such Securities, be delivered to such Trustee and, in the case of Registered Securities and matured coupons, shall be promptly cancelled by it. All Bearer
Securities and unmatured coupons so delivered to the Trustee for such Securities shall be cancelled by such Trustee. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for Securities of a series 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 promptly cancelled by such Trustee. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture to the contrary,
in the case of a series, all the Securities of which are not to be originally issued at one time, a Security of such series shall not be deemed to have been Outstanding at any time hereunder if and to the extent that, subsequent to the
authentication and delivery thereof, such Security is delivered to the Trustee for such Security for cancellation by the Company or any agent thereof upon the failure of the original purchaser thereof to make payment therefor against delivery
thereof, and any Security so delivered to such Trustee shall be promptly cancelled by it. 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 this
Indenture. All cancelled Securities and coupons held by the Trustee for such Securities shall be disposed of by such Trustee in accordance with its standard procedures and a certificate of disposition evidencing such disposition of Securities and
coupons shall be provided to the Company by such Trustee. In the case of any temporary Global Security, which shall be disposed of if the entire aggregate principal amount of the Securities represented thereby has been exchanged, the certificate of
disposition shall state that all certificates required pursuant to Section 304 hereof, substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto (or in the form of any substitute exhibit as provided in the last paragraph of Section 304), to be given
by Euroclear or Clearstream Banking, have been duly presented to the Trustee for such Securities by Euroclear or Clearstream Banking, as the case may be. Permanent Global Securities shall not be disposed of until exchanged in full for definitive
Securities or until payment thereon is made in full. 
 Section 310. Computation of Interest. 

Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of any particular series, interest on the Securities of each
series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 

  
 - 36 - 








 Section 311. Currency and Manner of Payments in Respect of Securities. 

Unless otherwise specified in accordance with Section 301 with respect to any series of Securities, the following provisions shall apply:

 (a) Except as provided in paragraphs (b) and (d) below, the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on Securities of
any series denominated in a Foreign Currency or currency unit will be payable by the Company in Dollars based on the equivalent of that Foreign Currency or currency unit converted into Dollars in the manner described in paragraph (c) below.

 (b) It may be provided pursuant to Section 301 with respect to Registered Securities of any series denominated in a Foreign Currency
or currency unit that Holders shall have the option, subject to paragraph (d) below, to receive payments of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such Registered Securities in such Foreign Currency or currency unit by delivering to
the Trustee (or to any duly appointed Paying Agent) for the Registered Securities of that series a written election, to be in form and substance satisfactory to such Trustee (or to any such Paying Agent), not later than the close of business on the
Election Date immediately preceding the applicable payment date. If a Holder so elects to receive such payments in such Foreign Currency or currency unit, such election will remain in effect for such Holder until changed by such Holder by written
notice to the Trustee (or to any such Paying Agent) for the Registered Securities of that series; provided, however, that any such change must be made not later than the close of business on the Election Date immediately preceding the
next payment date to be effective for the payment to be made on such payment date; and provided, further, that no such change or election may be made with respect to payments to be made on any Registered Security of such series with
respect to which an Event of Default has occurred, the Company has exercised any defeasance, satisfaction or discharge options pursuant to Article Four or notice of redemption has been given by the Company pursuant to Article Eleven. If
any Holder makes any such election, such election will not be effective as to any transferee of such Holder and such transferee shall be paid in Dollars unless such transferee makes an election as specified above; provided, however, that such
election, if in effect while funds are on deposit with respect to the Registered Securities of such series as described in Section 404 or Section 405, will be effective as to any transferee of such Holder unless otherwise specified
pursuant to Section 301 for such Registered Securities. Any Holder of any such Registered Security who shall not have delivered any such election to the Trustee (or to any duly appointed Paying Agent) for the Registered Securities of such
series not later than the close of business on the applicable Election Date will be paid the amount due on the applicable payment date in Dollars. 

(c) With respect to any Registered Securities of any series denominated in a Foreign Currency or currency unit and payable in Dollars, the
amount of Dollars so payable will be determined by the Currency Determination Agent based on the highest indicative quotation in The City of New York selected by the Currency Determination Agent (after consultation with the Company) at approximately
11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding the applicable payment date. Such selection shall be made from among the quotations appearing on the bank composite or multi-contributor
pages of the Reuters Monitor Foreign Exchange Service or, if not available, the Telerate Monitor Foreign Exchange Service, for three (or two if three are not available) major banks in New York City. The first three (or two) such banks selected by
the Currency Determination Agent which are offering quotes on the Reuters Foreign Exchange Service shall be used. If such quotations are unavailable from either such foreign exchange service, such selection shall be made from the quotations received
by the Currency Determination Agent from no more than three nor less than two recognized foreign exchange dealers in The City of New York selected by the Currency Determination Agent and approved by the Company (one of which may be the Currency
Determination Agent) for the 

  
 - 37 - 








 
purchase by the quoting dealer, for settlement on such payment date, of the aggregate amount of the Foreign Currency or currency unit payable on such payment date in respect of all Registered
Securities denominated in such Foreign Currency or currency unit and for which the applicable dealer commits to execute a contract. If fewer than two such bid quotations are available at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business
Day preceding the applicable payment date, such payment will be based on the Market Exchange Rate as of the second Business Day preceding the applicable payment date. If the Market Exchange Rate for such date is not then available, payments shall be
made in the Foreign Currency or currency unit. All currency exchange costs associated with any payment in Dollars on any such Registered Securities will be borne by the Holder thereof by deductions from such payment. 

(d) If a Conversion Event occurs with respect to a Foreign Currency or currency unit in which Registered Securities of any series are payable,
then with respect to each date for the payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Registered Securities of that series occurring after the last date on which such Foreign Currency or currency unit was used, the Company may
make such payment in Dollars. The Dollar amount to be paid by the Company to the Trustee for the Registered Securities of such series and by such Trustee or any Paying Agent for the Registered Securities of such series to the Holders of such
Registered Securities with respect to such payment date shall be determined by the Currency Determination Agent on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate as of the second Business Day preceding the applicable payment date or, if such Market Exchange
Rate is not then available, on the basis of the most recently available Market Exchange Rate, or as otherwise established pursuant to Section 301 with respect to such Securities. Any payment in respect of such Registered Security made under
such circumstances in Dollars will not constitute an Event of Default hereunder. 
 (e) For purposes of this Indenture the following terms
shall have the following meanings: 
 A “Component Currency” shall mean any currency which is a component currency
of any currency unit. 
 “Election Date” shall mean, for the Registered Securities of any series, the date
specified pursuant to Section 301(14). 
 (f) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 311, the following shall apply:
(i) if the official unit of any Component Currency is altered by way of combination or subdivision, the number of units of that currency as a component shall be divided or multiplied in the same proportion, (ii) if two or more Component
Currencies are consolidated into a single currency, the amounts of those currencies as components shall be replaced by an amount in such single currency equal to the sum of the amounts of the consolidated Component Currencies expressed in such a
single currency, (iii) if any Component Currency is divided into two or more currencies, the amount of that original Component Currency as a component shall be replaced by the amounts of such two or more currencies having an aggregate value on
the date of division equal to the amount of the former Component Currency immediately before such division and (iv) in the event of an official redenomination of any currency (including, without limitation, a currency unit), the obligations of
the Company to make payments in or with reference to such currency on the Registered Securities of any series shall, in all cases, be deemed immediately 

  
 - 38 - 








 
following such redenomination to be obligations to make payments in or with reference to that amount of redenominated currency representing the amount of such currency immediately before such
redenomination. 
 (g) All determinations referred to in this Section 311 made by the Currency Determination Agent shall be in its sole
discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and irrevocably binding upon the Holders of the applicable Securities. The Currency Determination Agent shall promptly give written notice to the Trustee of any
such decision or determination. The Currency Determination Agent shall have no liability for any determinations referred to in this Section 311 made by it. 

(h) The Trustee for the Securities of a particular series shall be fully justified and protected in relying and acting upon information
received by it from the Company and the Currency Determination Agent with respect to any of the matters addressed in or contemplated by this Section 311 and shall not otherwise have any duty or obligation to determine such information
independently. 
 Section 312. Appointment and Resignation of Currency Determination Agent. 

(a) If and so long as the Securities of any series (i) are denominated in a currency unit or a currency other than Dollars or
(ii) may be payable in a currency unit or a currency other than Dollars, or so long as it is required under any other provision of this Indenture, then the Company shall maintain with respect to each such series of Securities, or as so
required, a Currency Determination Agent. The Company shall cause the Currency Determination Agent to make the necessary foreign exchange determinations at the time and in the manner specified pursuant to Section 301 for the purpose of
determining the applicable rate of exchange and for the purpose of converting the issued currency or currency unit into the applicable payment currency or currency unit for the payment of principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any,
pursuant to Section 311.

Determination Agent pursuant to this Section shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Currency Determination Agent as evidenced by a written instrument delivered to the Company and the Trustee of the
appropriate series of Securities accepting such appointment executed by the successor Currency Determination Agent. 
 (c) If the Currency
Determination Agent shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of the Currency Determination Agent for any cause, with respect to the Securities of one or more series, the Company, by a Board
Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Currency Determination Agent or Currency Determination Agents with respect to the Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such successor Currency Determination Agent may be
appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at any time there shall only be one Currency Determination Agent with respect to the Securities of any particular series).

 ARTICLE 4 

Satisfaction and Discharge 

Section 401. Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 

The Company may, at the option of its Board of Directors evidenced by a Board Resolution set forth in an Officers’ Certificate, at any
time, with respect to the Securities of any series, elect to have either Section 402 or 403 be applied to all of the Outstanding Securities of that series upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article Four. 

Section 402. Legal Defeasance and Discharge. 

Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 401 of the option applicable to this Section 402, the Company shall be deemed to have
been discharged from its obligations with respect to all Outstanding Securities of the particular series and any coupons appertaining thereto on the date the conditions set forth below in Section 404 are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal
Defeasance”). For this purpose, such Legal Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged all the obligations relating to the Outstanding Securities of that series and the Securities of that series, including any
coupons appertaining thereto, shall thereafter be deemed to be “Outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 406, Section 408 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to below in this Section 402, and to have
satisfied all of its other obligations under such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto and this Indenture and cured all then existing Events of Default (and the Trustee, on demand of and 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: (a) the rights of Holders of Outstanding Securities of the particular series and coupons, if any, of such
series to receive payments in respect of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on such Securities when such payments are due or on the Redemption Date solely out of the trust created pursuant to this Indenture; (b) the
Company’s obligations with respect to such Securities concerning issuing temporary Securities of that series, or, where relevant, registration of such Securities, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities of that series and the
maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for Securities payments held in trust; (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee for the Securities of that series, and the Company’s obligations in
connection therewith; and (d) this Article Four and the obligations set forth in Section 406 hereof. Money and Securities held in trust pursuant to this Section 402 shall not be subject to Article Fifteen or any other
subordination provisions. 
 Subject to compliance with this Article Four, the Company may exercise its option under Section 402
notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 403 with respect to the Securities of a particular series and any coupons appertaining thereto. 

Section 403. Covenant Defeasance. 

Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 401 of the option applicable to this Section 403, the Company shall be released from
any obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 704 and 801 hereof (and any other covenant in addition to those set forth herein 

  
 - 40 - 








 
applicable to Securities of any series pursuant to Section 301 hereof specified to be released as provided under this Section 403) with respect to the Outstanding Securities of the
particular series, along with any additional covenants or other provisions (including Events of Default) contained in such Security or any Supplemental Indenture in connection therewith, on and after the date the conditions set forth below in
Section 404 are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Securities of that series and any coupons appertaining thereto shall thereafter be deemed 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 such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “Outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Securities
shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the Outstanding Securities of that series and any coupons appertaining thereto, 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 covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such
covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a default or Event of Default under subsection 501 but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and the
Securities of that series shall be unaffected thereby. 
 Section 404. Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance. 

The following shall be the conditions to the application of either Section 402 or Section 403 to the Outstanding Securities of a
particular series:

occurred as provided in Section 311(d), shall be made in the currency or currency unit in which the Securities of that series are payable as a result of such election or Conversion Event), Government Obligations or a combination thereof in such
amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of an internationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, due on the outstanding Securities of that series and any
related coupons at the Stated Maturity, or on the applicable Redemption Date, as the case may be, with respect to the outstanding Securities of that series and any related coupons;

(2) since the Issue Date, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel in the United States shall confirm that, subject to customary
assumptions and exclusions, the Holders of the Outstanding Securities of that series will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal 

  
 - 41 - 








 
income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case
if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred; 
 (c) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee for
the Securities of that series an Opinion of Counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to such Trustee confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the Holders of the Outstanding Securities of that series will not

Defeasance had not occurred; 
 (d) no Event of Default or event which with the giving of notice or the lapse of time, or both, would become
an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of that series shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit and no Event of Default under Section 501(4) or Section 501(5) shall have occurred and be continuing on the
123rd day after such date; and 
 (e) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee for the Securities of that series an Officers’
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel in the United States (which opinion of counsel may be subject to customary assumptions and exclusions) each stating that all conditions precedent provided for or relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant

 Section 405. Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. 

This Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all Securities of any particular series issued hereunder when

series for cancellation or (ii) (A) all Securities of that series and any coupons appertaining thereto not theretofore delivered to Trustee for cancellation are due and payable by their terms within one year or have become due and payable
by reason of the making of a notice of redemption and the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with such Trustee as trust funds in trust an amount of cash in any combination of currency or currency unit in which the Securities
of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series and except as provided in Sections 311(b) and 311(d), in which case the deposit to be made with respect to Securities for
which an election has occurred pursuant to Section 311(b) or a Conversion Event has occurred as provided in Section 311(d), shall be made in the currency or 

  
 - 42 - 








 
currency unit in which such Securities are payable as a result of such election or Conversion Event) sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Securities and coupons not
theretofore delivered to the Trustee for the Securities of that series for cancellation for principal (and premium, if any) and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be; (B) no Event of
Default or event which with the giving of notice or the lapse of time, or both, would become an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit and no Event of Default under Section 501(4) or

instructions to the Trustee for the Securities of that series under this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of such Securities and coupons at the Stated Maturity or the Redemption Date, as the case may be. In addition, the
Company must deliver an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee for the Securities of that series stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied. 

Section 406. Survival of Certain Obligations. 

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and of the Securities of a particular series referred to in Sections 401,
402, 404 or 405, the respective obligations of the Company and the Trustee for the Securities of a particular series under Sections 303, 304, 305, 309, 407, 408, 409, 410, and 508, Article Six, and Sections 701, 702, 1002, 1003, 1004
and 1005, shall survive with respect to Securities of that series until the Securities of that series are no longer outstanding, and thereafter the obligations of the Company and the Trustee for the Securities of a particular series with respect to
that series under Sections 407, 408, 409, and 410 shall survive. Nothing contained in this Article Four shall abrogate any of the obligations or duties of the Trustee of any series of Securities under this Indenture. 

Notwithstanding the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Sections 404 or 405 with respect to all the Securities of any series not
payable in Dollars, upon the happening of any Conversion Event the Company shall be obligated to make the payments in Dollars required by Section 311(d) to the extent that the Trustee is unable to convert any Foreign Currency or currency unit
or currency unit in its possession pursuant to Sections 404 or 405 into the Dollar equivalent of such Foreign Currency or currency unit, as the case may be. If, after the deposits referred to in Sections 404 or 405 have been made,
(x) the Holder of a Security is entitled to, and does, elect pursuant to Section 311(b) to receive payment in a currency or currency unit other than that in which the deposit pursuant to Sections 404 or 405 was made, or (y) a
Conversion Event occurs as contemplated in Section 311(d), then the indebtedness represented by such Security shall be fully discharged to the extent that the deposit made with respect to such Security shall be converted into the currency or
currency unit in which such Security is payable. The Trustee shall return to the Company any non-converted funds or securities in its possession after such payments have been made. 

Section 407. Acknowledgment of Discharge by Trustee. 

Subject to Section 410, after (i) the conditions of Sections 404 or 405 have been satisfied with respect to the Securities of a
particular series, (ii) the Company has paid or caused to be 

  
 - 43 - 








 
paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company and (iii) the Company has delivered to the Trustee for the Securities of that series an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent referred to in clause (i) above relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with, the Trustee for the Securities of that series upon written request shall
acknowledge in writing the discharge of all of the Company’s obligations under this Indenture except for those surviving obligations specified in this Article Four. 

Section 408. Application of Trust Moneys. 

All money and Government Obligations deposited with the Trustee for the Securities of a particular series pursuant to Sections 404 or 405
in respect of the Securities of that series shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent as the Trustee may determine,
to the Holders of the Securities and all related coupons of all sums due and to become due thereon for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

 The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee for the Securities of a particular series against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on
or assessed against the Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Sections 404 or 405 with respect to the Securities of that series or the principal and 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 outstanding Securities of that series. 
 Section 409. Repayment to the Company; Unclaimed Money.

 The Trustee and any Paying Agent for a series of Securities shall promptly pay or return to the Company upon Company Order any cash or
Government Obligations held by them at any time that are not required for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on the Securities and all related coupons for Securities of that series for which cash or
Government Obligations have been deposited pursuant to Sections 404 or 405. 
 Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent
for the Securities of any series, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on any Security of any particular series and all related coupons appertaining thereto and
remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, has become due and payable shall, unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of applicable escheat, or abandoned or unclaimed property law, be
paid to the Company on Company Request or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trusts; and the Holder of such Security and all related coupons shall, thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for
payment thereof, and all liability of such 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 such Trustee or such Paying Agent,
before being required to make any such repayment may give written notice to the Holder of such Security in the manner set forth in Section 106, 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, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will, unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of applicable escheat, or abandoned or unclaimed property law, be repaid to the Company,
as the case may be.

 Section 410. Reinstatement. 

If the Trustee or Paying Agent for a series of Securities is unable to apply any cash or Government Obligations, as applicable, in accordance
with Section 402, 403, 404 or 405 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s obligations
under this Indenture and the Securities of that series shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 402, 403, 404 or 405 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent for that series is permitted to
apply all such cash or Government Obligations in accordance with Section 402, 403, 404 or 405; provided, however, that if the Company has made any payment of principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on any Securities and any
related coupons because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities and such coupons to receive such payment from the cash or Government Obligations, as applicable, held by
such Trustee or Paying Agent. In the event the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Securities are revived and reinstated pursuant to this Section 410, then the obligations of each Guarantor, if any, under its Note Guarantee
and this Indenture that were released pursuant to Section 1405 as a result of the Company’s exercise of its rights under this Article Four shall be revived and reinstated as though such release had not occurred.

whose performance or whose breach is elsewhere in this Section specifically dealt with) and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 90 days after there has been given, by
registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee for the Securities of such series or to the Company and such Trustee by the Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series 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 Company shall commence any case or proceeding seeking to have an order for relief entered on its behalf as debtor or to
adjudicate it as bankrupt or insolvent or seeking reorganization, liquidation, dissolution, winding-up, arrangement, composition or readjustment of its debts or any other relief under any bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution, arrangement, composition, readjustment of debt or other similar act or law of any jurisdiction, domestic or foreign, now or hereafter existing; or the Company shall apply for a receiver,

(6) any other Event of Default provided in the Security or the Board Resolution with respect to Securities of that series. 

Section 502. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. 

If an Event of Default with respect to any particular series of Securities and any related coupons occurs and is continuing (other than an
Event of Default described in Section 501(4) or 501(5) with respect to the Company), then and in every such case either the Trustee for the Securities of such series or the Holders of not less than [30%] in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of that series may declare the entire principal amount (or, in the case of (i) OID Securities, such lesser amount as may be provided for in the terms of that series or (ii) Indexed Securities, the amount determined in accordance
with the specified terms of those Securities) of all the Securities of that series, to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to such Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration of acceleration
such principal or such lesser amount, as the case may be, together with accrued interest and all other amounts owing hereunder, shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are
hereby expressly waived. 

  
 - 46 - 








 If any Event of Default specified in Section 501(4) or 501(5) occurs with respect to the
Company, all of the unpaid principal amount (or, if the Securities of any series then outstanding are (i) OID Securities, such lesser amount as may be provided for in the terms of that series or (ii) Indexed Securities, the amount
determined in accordance with the specified terms of those Securities) and accrued interest on all Securities of each series then outstanding shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act by
the Trustee or any Holder. 
 At any time after such a declaration of acceleration has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment
of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee for the Securities of any series as hereinafter provided in this Article, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series, by written notice to the Company
and such Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if: 
 (1) the Company has paid or deposited
with such Trustee a sum sufficient to pay in the currency or currency unit in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series and except as provided in
Sections 311(b) and 311(d)): 
  

	 	(A)	all overdue interest on all Securities of that series and any related coupons; 

  

	 	(B)	the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Securities of that series which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest thereon from the date such principal became due at a rate
per annum equal to the rate borne by the Securities of such series (or, in the case of (i) OID Securities, the Securities’ Yield to Maturity or (ii) Indexed Securities, the rate determined in accordance with the specified terms of
those Securities), to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable; 

  

	 	(C)	to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate borne by the Securities of such series (or, in the case of (i) OID Securities, the
Securities’ Yield to Maturity or (ii) Indexed Securities, the rate determined in accordance with the specified terms of those Securities); and 

  

	 	(D)	all sums paid or advanced by such Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of such Trustee, its agents and counsel and all other amounts due to such Trustee under
Section 607; and 

 (2) all Events of Default with respect to the Securities of such series, other than
the nonpayment of the principal of Securities of that series which has become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 513. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right
consequent thereon. 

  
 - 47 - 








 Section 503. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. 

The Company covenants that if: 

(1) default is made in the payment of any interest upon any Security of any series and any related coupons when such interest
becomes 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 premium, if any, on) any Security of any series at its Maturity; 
 the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee for the Securities of
such series, pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities and coupons, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities and coupons for principal (and premium if any) and interest, if any, with interest upon the
overdue principal (and premium, if any) and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, upon any overdue installments of interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate borne by such Securities (or, in the case of
(i) OID Securities, the Securities’ Yield to Maturity or (ii) Indexed Securities, the rate determined in accordance with the specified terms of those Securities); and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to
cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of such Trustee, its agents and counsel and all other amounts due to such Trustee under Section 607. 

If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, such Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may
institute a judicial proceeding against the Company for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such proceedings to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon the
Securities of such series and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities of such series, wherever situated. 

If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any particular series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee for the Securities of such
series may, in its discretion, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities of that series by such appropriate judicial proceedings as such Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such
rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy. 

Section 504. 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 relating to the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities of any series or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee for the Securities of such series (irrespective of whether the
principal (or, if the Securities of such series are (i) OID Securities or (ii) Indexed Securities, such amount as may be due and payable with respect to such Securities pursuant to a declaration in accordance with Section 502) of any
Security of such series shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of 

  
 - 48 - 








 
whether such Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise

 (i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal (or, if the Securities of such series are (i) OID
Securities or (ii) Indexed Securities, such amount as may be due and payable with respect to such Securities pursuant to a declaration in accordance with Section 502) (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, owing and unpaid in respect
of the Securities of such series and any related coupons and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of such Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of such Trustee, its agents and counsel and all other amounts due to such Trustee under Section 607) and of the Holders of the Securities of such series and any related coupons allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

 (ii) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the
same; 
 and any receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator (or other similar official) in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by
each Holder of Securities and coupons to make such payments to such Trustee, and in the event that such Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders of Securities and coupons, to pay to such Trustee any amount due to
it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of such Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due such Trustee under Section 607. 

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee for the Securities of any series to authorize or consent to or accept or
adopt on behalf of any Holder of a Security or coupon any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities of such series or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee for the Securities or
coupons of any series to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other person performing similar functions. 

Section 505. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities or Coupons. 

All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities or coupons of any series may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee
for the Securities of any series without the possession of any of the Securities or coupons of such series or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by such Trustee shall be brought in its own
name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of such Trustee, its agents and counsel and all other amounts due to such
Trustee under Section 607, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities and coupons of such series in respect of which such judgment has been recovered. 

  
 - 49 - 








 Section 506. Application of Money Collected. 

Any money collected by the Trustee for the Securities of any series pursuant to this Article with respect to the Securities or coupons of
such series shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by such Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, upon presentation of the Securities or
coupons of such series, or both, as the case may be, and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid: 

First: To the payment of all amounts due such Trustee under Section 607; 

Second: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon the Securities and coupons of such series for principal of (and premium, if any)
and interest, if any, on such Securities in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Securities and coupons for
principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, respectively; and 
 Third: The balance, if any, to the Company. 

Section 507. Limitation on Suits. 

No Holder of any Security of any particular series or any related coupons 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 with respect to that series shall have occurred and be continuing and such Holder shall have previously
given written notice to the Trustee for the Securities of such series of such default and the continuance thereof; 
 (2) the
Holders of not less than 30% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series shall have made written request to the Trustee for the Securities of such series 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 such Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to
the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request; 
 (4) such 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 such Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series; 
 it being
understood and intended that no one or more Holders of Securities of that series shall have any right in any manner whatsoever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this 

  
 - 50 - 








 
Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders of Securities of that series, or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for
the equal and ratable benefit of all the Holders of Securities of that series. 
 Section 508. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal
(and Premium, if any) and Interest, if any. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security or
coupon shall have the right which is absolute and unconditional to receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 307) interest, if any, on such Security on the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such
Security or coupon (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) 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 509. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. 

If the Trustee for the Securities of any series or any Holder of a Security or coupon 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 such Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case the Company, such Trustee and the Holders of
Securities or coupons 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 such Trustee and such Holders shall continue as
though no such proceeding had been instituted. 
 Section 510. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. 

Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities or coupons in the
last paragraph of Section 306, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee for the Securities of any series or to the Holders of Securities or coupons is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every
right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy
hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 
 Section 511. Delay or
Omission Not Waiver. 
 No delay or omission of the Trustee for the Securities of any series or of any Holder of any Security of such
series to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such series 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 such Trustee for the Securities or coupons of any series or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by such Trustee or by the Holders, as the case
may be. 

  
 - 51 - 








 Section 512. Control by Holders. 

The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any particular series shall have the right to direct the time,
method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee for the Securities of such series with respect to the Securities of that series or exercising any trust or power conferred on such Trustee with respect to such
Securities, provided that: 
 (1) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, the
Securities or any Note Guarantee, and could not involve the Trustee in personal liability; and 
 (2) such Trustee may take
any other action deemed proper by such Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction. 
 Section 513. Waiver of Past Defaults. 

Except as otherwise specified for a series of Securities pursuant to Section 301 and subject to Section 502, the Holders of not less
than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any particular series and any related coupons may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of that series waive any past default hereunder with respect to that series and its
consequences, except: 
 (1) a default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on any
Security of that series; or 
 (2) a default with respect to 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 that 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 514. Undertaking for Costs. 

All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security or coupon 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 the Securities or coupons of any series for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the
filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in such
suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee for the Securities of any series, to any suit
instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any particular series or to any suit instituted by any Holder of any Security or coupon for the enforcement of
the payment of the principal of 

  
 - 52 - 








 
(or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on any Security of such series or the payment of any coupon on or after the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security or coupon (or, in the
case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date). 
 Section 515. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. 

The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner
whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may
lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee for any series of Securities, but will suffer and
permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. 
 Section 516. Judgment Currency. 

If, for the purpose of obtaining a judgment in any court with respect to any obligation of the Company hereunder or under any Security or any
related coupon, it shall become necessary to convert into any other currency or currency unit any amount in the currency or currency unit due hereunder or under such Security or coupon, then such conversion shall be made by the Currency
Determination Agent at the Market Exchange Rate as in effect on the date of entry of the judgment (the “Judgment Date”). If pursuant to any such judgment, conversion shall be made on a date (the “Substitute Date”) other than the
Judgment Date and there shall occur a change between the Market Exchange Rate as in effect on the Judgment Date and the Market Exchange Rate as in effect on the Substitute Date, the Company agrees to pay such additional amounts, if any, as may be
necessary to ensure that the amount paid is equal to the amount in such other currency or currency unit which, when converted at the Market Exchange Rate as in effect on the Judgment Date, is the amount due hereunder or under such Security or
coupon. Any amount due from the Company under this Section 516 shall be due as a separate debt and is not to be affected by or merged into any judgment being obtained for any other sums due hereunder or in respect of any Security or coupon. In
no event, however, shall the Company be required to pay more in the currency or currency unit due hereunder or under such Security or coupon at the Market Exchange Rate as in effect on the Judgment Date than the amount of currency or currency unit
stated to be due hereunder or under such Security or coupon so that in any event the Company’s obligations hereunder or under such Security or coupon will be effectively maintained as obligations in such currency or currency unit, and the
Company shall be entitled to withhold (or be reimbursed for, as the case may be) any excess of the amount actually realized upon any such conversion on the Substitute Date over the amount due and payable on the Judgment Date.

 (a) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of any series for
which the Trustee is serving as such, 
 (1) such Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are
specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against such Trustee; and 

(2) in the absence of bad faith on its part, such Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to such Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. 

(b) In case an Event of Default with respect to a series of Securities has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee for the Securities of such
series 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 man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs. 

(c) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee for Securities of any series from liability for its own negligent
action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that: 
 (1) this Subsection shall not be
construed to limit the effect of Subsection (a) of this Section; 
 (2) such Trustee shall not be liable for any error
of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

accordance with the direction of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any particular series, determined as provided in Section 512, relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding
for any remedy available to such Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon such Trustee, under this Indenture with respect to the Securities of that series; and 

(4) no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee for any series of Securities to expend or risk its own funds or
otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against
such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. 

  
 - 54 - 








 (d) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this
Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee for any series of Securities shall be subject to the provisions of this Section. 

Section 602. Notice of Defaults. 

Within 90 days after the occurrence of any default hereunder with respect to Securities of any particular series, the Trustee for the
Securities of such series shall give to Holders of Securities of that series, in the manner set forth in Section 106, notice of such default known to such 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 any Security of that series, or in the deposit of any sinking fund payment with respect to Securities of that series, such 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 such Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such
notice is in the interest of the Holders of Securities of that series and related coupons. 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 that series. 
 Section 603. Certain Rights of Trustee. 

Except as otherwise provided in Section 601: 

(a) the Trustee for any series of Securities may conclusively rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any

parties; 
 (b) any request or direction of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Company Request or Company

the Board of Directors of the Company may be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution; 
 (c) whenever in the administration of this

faith on its part, rely upon an Officers’ Certificate;

the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction; 
 (f) such 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, discretion, consent, order, bond, debenture or other paper or document, but such
Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters at it may see fit, and, if such Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books,
records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost of the Company;

not be deemed to have notice of any default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a default is received by the Trustee at the
Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Securities and this Indenture; 
 (j) the rights, privileges,
protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other
Person employed to act hereunder; and 
 (k) the Trustee may request that the Company deliver an Officers’ Certificate setting forth
the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, which Officers’ Certificate may be signed by any person authorized to sign an Officers’ Certificate, including
any person specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded. 
 Section 604. Not Responsible for Recitals
or Issuance of Securities. 
 The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee’s certificates of
authentication thereof and in any coupons shall be taken as the statements of the Company, as the case may be, and neither the Trustee for any series of Securities, nor any Authenticating Agent assumes any responsibility for their correctness. The
Trustee for any series of Securities makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities of any series or coupons, 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 a Statement of Eligibility on Form T-1 supplied to the Company are


  
 - 56 - 








 
true and correct, subject to the qualifications set forth therein. Neither the Trustee for any series of Securities nor any Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for the use or application by
the Company of Securities or the proceeds thereof. 
 Section 605. May Hold Securities. 

The Trustee for any series of Securities, any Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Security Registrar or any other agent of the Company, or such
Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and, subject to Sections 608 and 613, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not such Trustee,
Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Security Registrar or such other agent. 
 Section 606. Money Held in Trust. 

Money held by the Trustee for any series of Securities in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except as provided in
Section 115 and except to the extent required by law. The Trustee for any series of Securities shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed with the Company in writing, as the case
may be. 
 Section 607. Compensation and Reimbursement. 

The Company agrees: 

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

(3) to indemnify such Trustee, its employees, officers, directors and agents in Dollars for, and to hold them harmless against,
any loss, damage, claims, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on their part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust, including the costs and expenses of defending themselves
against any claim, whether asserted by the Company or any Holder or any other Person, or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of their powers or duties hereunder. 

As security for the performance of the obligations of the Company under this Section, the Trustee for any series of Securities shall have a
lien prior to the Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by such Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the payment of principal of (and premium, if any) or interest, if any, on particular Securities. 

  
 - 57 - 








 When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default
specified in Section 501(4) or Section 501(5), the expenses (including the reasonable charges and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable
Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law. 
 Section 608. Disqualification; Conflicting Interests. 

The Trustee for the Securities shall be subject to the provisions of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act during the period of time
required thereby. Nothing herein shall prevent the Trustee from filing with the Commission the application referred to in the penultimate paragraph of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act. In determining whether the Trustee has a
conflicting interest as defined in Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to the Securities of any series, there shall be excluded Securities of any particular series of Securities other than that series. 

Section 609. Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility. 

There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder for each series of securities which shall be 

(i) a corporation or banking company organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any state
thereof, or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority, or 

(ii) a corporation or other Person organized and doing business under the laws of a foreign government that is permitted to act
as Trustee pursuant to a rule, regulation, or other order of the Commission, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, and subject to supervision or examination by authority of such foreign government or a political subdivision
thereof substantially equivalent to supervision or examination applicable to United States institutional trustee, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually,
pursuant to law or to requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth
in its most recent report of condition so published. Neither the Company nor any Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under the common control of the Company shall serve as Trustee for the Securities. 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 hereunder specified in this Article. 

Section 610. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor. 

(a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee for the Securities of any series and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this
Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 611. 

  
 - 58 - 








 (b) The Trustee for the Securities of any series may resign at any time with respect to the
Securities of such series by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 611 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee for the Securities of such series within
60 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series. 

(c) The Trustee for the Securities of any series may be removed at any time with respect to the Securities of such series by Act of the
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, delivered to such Trustee and to the Company. 
 (d)
If at any time: 
 (1) the Trustee for the Securities of any series shall fail to comply with Section 310(b) of the
Trust Indenture Act pursuant to Section 608 hereof after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months, unless the Trustee’s duty to resign is
stayed in accordance with the provisions of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act, or 
 (2) such Trustee shall
cease to be eligible under Section 609 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder, or 

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

then, in any such case, (i) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove such Trustee and appoint a successor Trustee or (ii) subject
to Section 514, any Holder 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 such
Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 (e) If the Trustee for the Securities of any series shall resign, be removed or
become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for the Securities of any series for any cause, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such
series and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 611. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series
shall have not been appointed by the Company pursuant to this Section 610, then a successor Trustee may 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. If no successor Trustee for the Securities of such series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders and shall have accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 611, and


  
 - 59 - 








 
if such Trustee to be replaced is still incapable of acting, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months, on behalf of himself and all others
similarly situated, or the retiring Trustee, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series. 

(f) 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 in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 106. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of that series
and the address of its Corporate Trust Office. 
 Section 611. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. 

(a) Every such successor Trustee appointed hereunder with respect to the Securities of any series shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the
Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall
become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument
transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder. 

(b) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the
Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which
(1) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or
those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (2) 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 (3) shall add to or change
any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall
constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and 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 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 and each such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or
conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the Company
or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the
appointment of such successor Trustee relates. 

  
 - 60 - 








 (c) Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments
for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in Subsections (a) or (b) of this Section, as the case may be. 

(d) No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee for the Securities of any
series shall be qualified and eligible under this Article. 
 Section 612. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. 

Any corporation into which the Trustee for the Securities of any series 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 Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of such Trustee, shall be the successor of such
Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities shall have
been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent for such series then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee or Authenticating Agent, as the case may be, may
adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee or successor Authenticating Agent had itself authenticated such Securities. 

Section 613. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company. 

The Trustee is subject to Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act, excluding any creditor relationship listed in Section 311(b) of
the Trust Indenture Act. A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act to the extent indicated. 

Section 614. Authenticating Agents. 

At any time when any of the Securities of any series remain Outstanding, the Trustee for the Securities of such series may, subject to its sole
discretion, appoint one or more Authenticating Agents with respect to the Securities of such series, which may include the Company or any Affiliate of the Company, with power to act on the Trustee’s behalf and subject to its discretion in the
authentication and delivery of Securities of such series in connection with transfers and exchanges under Sections 304, 305 and 1107 as fully to all intents and purposes as though such Authenticating Agent had been expressly authorized by those
Sections of this Indenture to authenticate and deliver Securities of such series. For all purposes of this Indenture, the authentication and delivery of Securities of such series by an Authenticating Agent for such Securities pursuant to this
Section shall be deemed to be authentication and delivery of such Securities “by the Trustee” for the Securities of such series. Any such Authenticating Agent shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the
laws of the United States or 

  
 - 61 - 








 
of any State, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or

Holders of the Securities of such series contained in the most recent lists furnished to such Trustee as provided in Section 701 and the names and addresses of Holders of the Securities of such series received by such Trustee in its capacity as
Security Registrar for such series, if so acting. The Trustee for each series of Securities may destroy any list relating to such series of Securities furnished to it as provided in Section 701 upon receipt of a new list relating to such series

hearing upon the objections specified in the written statement so filed, shall enter an order refusing to sustain any of such objections or if, after the entry of an order sustaining one or more of such objections, the Commission shall find, after
notice and opportunity for hearing, that all the objections so sustained have been met and shall enter an order so declaring, such Trustee shall mail copies of such material to all such Holders with reasonable promptness after the entry of such

 (b) At the time that the Trustee for the Securities of
each series mails such a report to the Holders of Securities of such series, each such Trustee shall file a copy of that report with the Commission and with each stock exchange on which the Securities of that series are listed. The Company shall

the rights under this Indenture of the Holders of Securities of any other series. 
 It shall not be necessary for any Act of Holders under
this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof.

 ARTICLE 10 

Covenants 
 Section 1001. Payment
of Principal (and Premium, if any) and Interest, if any. 
 The Company agrees, for the benefit of each particular series of Securities,
that it will duly and punctually pay in the currency or currency unit in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series and except as provided in
Sections 311(b) and 311(d)) the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on that series of Securities in accordance with the terms of the Securities of such series, any coupons appertaining thereto and this Indenture. Unless
otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series of Securities, any interest due on Bearer Securities on or before Maturity shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of the several coupons for such
interest installments as are evidenced thereby as they severally mature. The interest, if any, due in respect of any temporary or permanent Global Security, as provided in the terms and conditions of such Security, shall be payable, only upon
presentation of such Security to the Trustee thereof for notation thereon of the payment of such interest. 
 Section 1002. Maintenance of Office or
Agency. 
 If Securities of a series are issuable only as Registered Securities the Company will maintain in each Place of Payment for
that series an office or agency where Securities of that series may be presented or surrendered for payment, an office or agency where Securities of that series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and
demands to or upon the Company with respect to the Securities of that series and this Indenture may be served. If Securities of a series are issuable as Bearer Securities, the Company will maintain (A) an office or agency (which may be the same
office or agency) in a Place of payment for that series in the United States where any Registered Securities of that series may be presented or surrendered for payment, where any Registered Securities of that series may be surrendered for
registration of transfer, where Securities of that series may be surrendered for exchange, where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may be served and where Bearer Securities of
that series and related coupons may be presented or surrendered for payment in the circumstances described in the following paragraph (and not otherwise), (B) subject to any laws or regulations applicable thereto, in a Place of Payment for that
series which is located outside the United States, an office or agency where Securities of that series and related coupons may be presented and surrendered for payment; provided, however, that if the Securities of that series are
listed on the Stock Exchange or any other stock exchange located outside the United States and such stock exchange shall so require, the Company will maintain a Paying Agent for the Securities of that series in Luxembourg or any other required city
located outside the United States, as the case may be, so long as the Securities of that series are listed on such exchange, and (C) subject to any laws or regulations applicable thereto, in a Place of Payment for that series located outside
the United States an office or agency where any Registered Securities of that series may be surrendered for registration of transfer, where Securities of that series may be surrendered for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the
Company in respect of the Securities of that series and 

  
 - 71 - 








 
this Indenture may be served. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee for the Securities of that series of the location, and any change in the location, of any such office or
agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency in respect of any series of Securities or shall fail to furnish the Trustee for the Securities of that series with the address thereof, such presentations
(to the extent permitted by law), and surrenders of Securities of that series may be made and notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of such Trustee, except that Bearer Securities of that series and the related
coupons may be presented and surrendered for payment at the offices specified in the Security, and the Company hereby appoints the same as its agent to receive such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands. 

Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Securities pursuant to Section 301, no payment of principal (and premium, if any) or
interest, if any, on Bearer Securities shall be made at any office or agency of the Company in the United States or by check mailed to any address in the United States or by transfer to an account maintained with a bank located in the United States.
Payments will not be made in respect of Bearer Securities or coupons appertaining thereto pursuant to presentation to the Company, or its designated Paying Agents within the United States. Notwithstanding the foregoing, payment of principal of (and
premium, if any) and interest, if any, on any Bearer Security denominated and payable in Dollars will be made at the office of the Company’s Paying Agent in the United States, if, and only if, payment in Dollars of the full amount of such
principal, premium or interest, as the case may be, at all offices or agencies outside the United States maintained for that purpose by the Company in accordance with this Indenture is illegal or effectively precluded by exchange controls or other
similar restrictions and the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to that effect. 
 The Company may also from time to
time designate one or more other offices or agencies (in or outside the Place of Payment) where the Securities of one or more series may be presented or surrendered for any or all of the purposes specified above in this Section 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 such purpose. The Company
will give prompt written notice to the Trustee for the Securities of each series so affected of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such office or agency. Unless otherwise specified with respect to any
Securities pursuant to Section 301 with respect to a series of Securities, the Company hereby designates as a Place of Payment for each series of Securities the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York,
and initially appoints the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office as Paying Agent in such city and as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands. 

Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Securities pursuant to Section 301, if and so long as the Securities of any series
(i) are denominated in a currency other than Dollars or (ii) may be payable in a currency other than Dollars, or so long as it is required under any other provision of the Indenture, then the Company will maintain with respect to each such
series of Securities, or as so required, a Currency Determination Agent.

 Section 1003. 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 particular series of Securities and any related coupons, it
will, on or before each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest, if any, on any of the Securities of that series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum in the currency or currency
unit in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series and except as provided in Sections 311(b) and 311(d)) sufficient to pay the principal (and
premium, if any) and interest, if any, so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided, and will promptly notify the Trustee for the Securities of such series of its action or failure so to
act. 
 Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any particular series of Securities and any related coupons, it will,
prior to each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest, if any, on any such Securities, deposit with a Paying Agent for the Securities of such series a sum (in the currency or currency unit described in the preceding paragraph)
sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, 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 for the Securities of such
series) the Company will promptly notify such Trustee of its action or failure so to act. 
 The Company will cause each Paying Agent for
any particular series of Securities other than the Trustee for the Securities of such series to execute and deliver to such Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with such Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section,
that such Paying Agent will: 
 (1) hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or

 ARTICLE 11 

Redemption of Securities 

Section 1101. Applicability of this Article. 

Redemption of Securities of any series (whether by operation of a sinking fund or otherwise) as permitted or required by any form of Security
issued pursuant to this Indenture shall be made in accordance with such form of Security and this Article; provided, however, that if any provision of any such form of Security shall conflict with any provision of this Article, the provision
of such form of Security shall govern. 
 Section 1102. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee. 

The election of the Company to redeem any Securities of any series shall be evidenced by or pursuant to a Board Resolution. In case of any
redemption at the election of the Company of less than all of the Securities of any particular series, the Company shall, at least 60 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the
Trustee for the Securities of such series) notify such Trustee by Company Request of such Redemption Date and of the principal amount of Securities of that series to be redeemed and shall deliver to such Trustee such documentation and records as
shall enable such Trustee to select the Securities to be redeemed pursuant to Section 1103. In the case of any redemption of Securities of any series prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such
Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee for Securities of such series with an Officers’ Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction. 

Section 1103. Selection by Trustee of Securities to be Redeemed. 

If less than all the Securities are to be redeemed, the Company may select the series to be redeemed, and if less than all the Securities of
any series are to be redeemed, the particular Securities of that series to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee for the Securities of such series, from the Outstanding Securities of
that series not previously called for redemption, by such method as such Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption of portions (equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that
series, or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal amount of Securities of that series of a denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that series pursuant to Section 302 in the currency or currency
unit in which the Securities of such series are denominated. 

  
 - 75 - 








 The Trustee for the Securities of any series to be redeemed shall promptly notify the Company in
writing of the Securities of such series 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 Security redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Securities which has been or is to be redeemed. 

Section 1104. Notice of Redemption. 

Notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided in Section 106 not later than the thirtieth (30th) day and not earlier
than the sixtieth (60th) day prior to the Redemption Date, unless as set forth otherwise pursuant to Section 301, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed. 

All notices of redemption shall state: 

(1) the Redemption Date, 

(2) the Redemption Price, 

(3) if less than all Outstanding Securities of a particular series are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of
partial redemption, the respective principal amounts) of the particular Securities to be redeemed, including the Identifying Number of such Securities, 

(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 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 will become due and payable upon each such Security or portion thereof,
and that interest thereon, if any (or in the case of OID Securities, original issue discount), shall cease to accrue on and after said date, 

(6) the place or places where such Securities, together in the case of Bearer Securities with all coupons appertaining thereto,
if any, maturing after the Redemption Date are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price, 
 (7) that the
redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case, 
 (8) that, unless otherwise specified in such notice, Bearer
Securities of any series, if any, surrendered for redemption must be accompanied by all coupons maturing subsequent to the date fixed for redemption or the amount of any such missing coupon or coupons will be deducted from the Redemption Price or
security or indemnity satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee for such series and any Paying Agent is furnished, and 

  
 - 76 - 








 (9) if Bearer Securities of any series are to be redeemed and any Registered
Securities of such series are not to be redeemed, and if such Bearer Securities may be exchanged for Registered Securities not subject to redemption on this Redemption Date pursuant to Section 305 or otherwise, the last date, as determined by
the Company, on which such exchanges may be made. 
 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 for such Securities in the name and at the expense of the Company. 

Section 1105. Deposit of Redemption Price. 

Prior to the opening of business on any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee for the Securities to be redeemed or with a
Paying Agent for such Securities (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent for such Securities, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount of money in the currency or currency unit in which the Securities of
such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such Series and except as provided in Sections 311(b) and 311(d)) sufficient to pay the principal amount of (and premium, if any,
thereon), and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) any accrued interest on, all the Securities which are to be redeemed on that date. 

Section 1106. 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 in the currency or currency unit in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise provided pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series and except as provided in
Sections 311(b) and 311(d)) and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price) such Securities shall cease to bear interest and the coupons for such interest appertaining to any Bearer
Securities so to be redeemed, except to the extent provided below, shall be void. Upon surrender of such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice together with all coupons, if any, appertaining thereto maturing after the Redemption
Date, such Security or specified portions thereof shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price; provided, however, that installments of interest on Bearer Securities whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be
payable only at an office or agency located outside the United States (except as otherwise provided in Section 1002) and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, only upon presentation and surrender of coupons for such
interest, and provided, further, that unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, 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 relevant Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 307. 

  
 - 77 - 








 If any Bearer Security surrendered for redemption shall not be accompanied by all coupons
appertaining thereto maturing after the Redemption Date, such Security may be paid after deducting from the Redemption Price an amount equal to the face amount of all such missing coupons or the surrender of such missing coupon or coupons may be
waived by the Company if there is furnished to the Company, the Trustee for such Security and any Paying Agent such security or indemnity as they may require to save the Company, such Trustee and any Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder
of such Security shall surrender to such Trustee or any Paying Agent any such missing coupon in respect of which a deduction shall have been made from the Redemption Price, such Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount so deducted;
provided, however, that interest represented by coupons shall be payable only at an office or agency located outside the United States (except as otherwise provided in Section 1002) and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 301, only upon presentation and surrender of those coupons. 
 If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon
surrender thereof for redemption, the principal thereof (and premium, if any, thereon) shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at a rate per annum equal to the rate borne by the Security (or, in the case of (i) OID Securities,
the Security’s Yield to Maturity or (ii) Indexed Securities, the rate determined in accordance with the specified terms of those Securities). 

Section 1107. Securities Redeemed in Part. 

Any Registered Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at the Place of Payment (with, if the Company or the Trustee
for such Security so requires, due endorsement by, or 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), and the Company shall execute and such Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Registered Security or Securities, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, of
the same series and having the same terms and provisions and in an aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Registered Security so surrendered.

govern.

referred to as a “mandatory sinking fund payment”, and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of Securities of

made pursuant to the terms of such Securities as provided for by the terms of such series; provided, however, that such Securities have not been previously so credited. Such Securities shall be received and credited for such purpose by the
Trustee for such Securities at the principal amount thereof and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly.

Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund. 
 Not less than 30 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any particular
series of Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee for the Securities of such series an Officers’ Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment for that series pursuant to the terms of that
series, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash in the currency or currency unit in which the Securities of that series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of
that series and except as provided in Sections 311(b) and 311(d)) and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities of that series pursuant to Section 1202 and shall state the basis for such
credit and that such Securities have not previously been so credited and will also deliver to such Trustee any Securities to be so delivered. Such Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner
specified in Section 1103 and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided in Section 1104. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities
shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 1106 and 1107.

 Note
Guarantees 
 Section 1401. Guarantee. 

(a) Subject to this Article Fourteen, each of the Guarantors, if any, hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees to each
Holder and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, (the “Note Guarantee”) that: 

(1) the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, the Securities will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at
maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Securities, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be
promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and 

  
 - 82 - 








 (2) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Securities or
any of such other obligations, that same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. 

Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors, if any, will be
jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor, if any, agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection. 

(b) The Guarantors, if any, hereby agree that their obligations hereunder are unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or
enforceability of the Securities or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company,
any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor, if any. Each Guarantor, if any, hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of
claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Note Guarantee will not be discharged except
by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Securities and this Indenture. 
 (c) If any Holder or the Trustee is required
by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, the Guarantors, if any, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Company or the Guarantors, if any, any amount paid by either to the Trustee
or such Holder, this Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, will be reinstated in full force and effect. 
 (d) Each
Guarantor, if any, agrees that it will not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor, if any, further
agrees that, as between the Guarantors (if any) on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (1) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article Five hereof for the
purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations
as provided in Article Five hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) will forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors, if any, for the purpose of this Note Guarantee. The Guarantors, if any, will have the right to seek
contribution from any non-paying Guarantor, if any, so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Note Guarantee. 

  
 - 83 - 








 Section 1402. Limitation on Guarantor Liability. 

Each Guarantor, if any, and by its acceptance of Securities, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the
Note Guarantee of such Guarantor, if any, not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent
applicable to any Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors, if any, hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor, if any, will be limited to the maximum amount that will,
after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor, if any, that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments
made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor, if any, in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor, if any, under this Article Fourteen, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent
transfer or conveyance. 
 Section 1403. Execution and Delivery of Note Guarantee. 

To evidence its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 1401 hereof, each Guarantor, if any, hereby agrees that a notation of such Note
Guarantee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit F hereto will be endorsed by an Officer of such Guarantor, if any, on each Securities authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and that this Indenture will be executed on behalf of such
Guarantor, if any, by one of its Officers. 
 Each Guarantor, if any, hereby agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 1401
hereof will remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Security a notation of such Note Guarantee. 
 If
an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture or on the Note Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Security on which a Note Guarantee is endorsed, the Note Guarantee will be valid nevertheless. 

The delivery of any Security by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, will constitute due delivery of the Note Guarantee
set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors, if any. 
 Section 1404. Guarantors May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms. 

Except as otherwise provided in Section 1405 hereof, no Guarantor (if any) will, and the Company will not permit any Guarantor (if any)
to, consolidate or merge with or into or wind up into (whether or not such Guarantor, if any, is the surviving corporation), or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all its properties or assets in one or
more related transactions, to any Person unless: (a) such Guarantor, if any, is the surviving entity or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than such Guarantor, if any) or to which such sale, assignment,
transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition will have been made is an entity organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, the District of Columbia, or any territory thereof (such Guarantor, if any, or such
Person, as the case may be, being herein called the “Successor Person”); (b) the 

  
 - 84 - 








 
Successor Person, if other than such Guarantor, if any, expressly assumes all the obligations of such Guarantor, if any, under this Indenture and such Guarantor’s Note Guarantee, if any,
pursuant to supplemental indentures or other documents or instruments in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; (c) immediately after such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists; and (d) the Company shall have delivered
to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an opinion of counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such supplemental indentures, if any, comply with this Indenture. 

In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and upon the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture,
executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Note Guarantee endorsed upon the Securities and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by the
Guarantor, if any, such successor Person will succeed to and be substituted for the Guarantor, if any, with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor, if any. Such successor Person thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of
the Note Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Securities issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee. All the Note Guarantees so issued will in all respects have the same legal
rank and benefit under this Indenture as the 
 Note Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this
Indenture as though all of such Note Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof. 
 Except as set forth in
Article 8 hereof, and notwithstanding clause 2 above, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Securities will prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor, if any, with or into the Company or another Guarantor, if any,
or will prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guarantor, if any, as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Company or another Guarantor, if any.

 The Note
Guarantee of a Guarantor, if any, will be released: 
 (a) in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all the
assets of that Guarantor (if any), including by way of merger or consolidation, to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a Company Subsidiary; 

(b) in connection with any sale or other disposition of all the Capital Stock of that Guarantor, if any, to a Person that is not (either
before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a Company Subsidiary; or 
 (c) upon Legal Defeasance or Covenant
Defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture in accordance with Article Four hereof. 
 Any Guarantor, if any, not
released from its obligations under its Note Guarantee as provided in this Section 1405 will remain liable for the full amount of the principal of and interest and premium, if any, on the Securities and for the other obligations of any
Guarantor, if any, under this Indenture as provided in this Article Fourteen.

 ARTICLE 15 

Subordination of Securities 

Section 1501. Agreement to Subordinate. 

Except as otherwise specified in a Board Resolution of the Company establishing a series of Securities pursuant to Section 301, the
Company, for itself, its successors and assigns, covenants and agrees, and each Holder of Securities by his acceptance thereof, likewise covenants and agrees, that the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on each
and all of the Securities is hereby expressly subordinated, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness. 

Section 1502. Distribution on Dissolution, Liquidation and Reorganization; Subrogation of Securities. 

Except as otherwise specified in a Board Resolution of the Company establishing a series of Securities pursuant to Section 301, upon any
distribution of assets of the Company upon any dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization of the Company, whether in bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or receivership proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or
any other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of the Company or otherwise (subject to the power of a court of competent jurisdiction to make other equitable provision reflecting the rights conferred in this Indenture upon the Senior
Indebtedness and the holders thereof with respect to the Securities and the holders thereof by a lawful plan of reorganization under Bankruptcy Law): 

(a) the holders of all Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled to receive payment in full of the principal thereof (and premium, if any) and
interest due thereon before the Holders of the Securities are entitled to receive any payment upon the principal (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on indebtedness evidenced by the Securities; 

(b) any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to which the
Holders of the Securities or the Trustee would be entitled except for the provisions of this Article Fifteen shall be paid by the liquidating trustee or agent or other person making such payment or distribution, whether a trustee in bankruptcy,
a receiver or liquidating trustee or otherwise, directly to the holders of Senior Indebtedness or their representative or representatives or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture under which any instruments evidencing any of such Senior
Indebtedness may have been issued, ratably according to the aggregate amounts remaining unpaid on account of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Senior Indebtedness held or represented by each, to the extent necessary to make
payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness; and 

(c) in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether
in cash, property or securities, shall be 

  
 - 86 - 








 
received by the Trustee or the Holders of the Securities before all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full, such payment or distribution shall be paid over, upon written notice to the Trustee, to
the holder of such Senior Indebtedness or their representative or representatives or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture under which any instrument evidencing any of such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, ratably as aforesaid, for
application to payment of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid until all such Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness. 

Subject to the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness, the Holders of the Securities shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of
Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions of cash, property or securities of the Company applicable to Senior Indebtedness until the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on the Securities shall be paid in full and
no such payments or distributions to the Holders of the Securities of cash, property or securities otherwise distributable to the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall, as between the Company, its creditors (other than the holders of Senior
Indebtedness), and the Holders of the Securities be deemed to be a payment by the Company to or on account of the Securities. It is understood that the provisions of this Article Fifteen are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining
the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities, on the one hand, and the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, on the other hand. Nothing contained in this Article Fifteen or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities is intended to
or shall impair, as between the Company, its creditors (other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness), and the Holders of the Securities, the obligation of the Company, which is unconditional and absolute, to pay to the Holders of the Securities
the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on the Securities as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or to affect the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities and creditors of the
Company (other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness), nor shall anything herein or in the Securities prevent the Trustee or the Holder of any Security from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this
Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article Fifteen of the holders of Senior Indebtedness in respect of cash, property or securities of the Company received upon the exercise of any such remedy. Upon any payment or distribution
of assets of the Company referred to in this Article Fifteen, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 601, shall be entitled to rely upon a certificate of the liquidating trustee or agent or other person making any distribution
to the Trustee for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of Senior Indebtedness 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 Fifteen. 
 The Trustee, however, shall not be deemed to
owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness. The Trustee shall not be liable to any such holder if it shall pay over or distribute to or on behalf of Holders of Securities or the Company moneys or assets to which any holder of
Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this Article Fifteen. 
 If the Trustee or any Holder of Securities does not file a
proper claim or proof of debt in the form required in any proceeding referred to above prior to 30 days before the expiration of the time to file such claim in such proceeding, then the holder of any Senior Indebtedness is hereby authorized,
and has the right, to file an appropriate claim or claims for or on behalf of such Holder of Securities. 

  
 - 87 - 








 Section 1503. No Payment on Securities in Certain Circumstances. 

Except as otherwise specified in a Board Resolution of the Company establishing a series of Securities pursuant to Section 301, 

(a) Upon the maturity of any Senior Indebtedness by lapse of time, acceleration (unless waived, rescinded or annulled) or otherwise, or upon
any payment default (with or without the giving of notice or lapse of time or both, in accordance with the terms of the instrument governing such Senior Indebtedness, and without any waiver or forgiveness) with respect to any Senior Indebtedness,
all amounts payable thereon shall first be paid in full on such Senior Indebtedness, before any payment is made, directly or indirectly by set off or otherwise, on account of principal of, or interest on, the Securities of such series or to acquire
any of the Securities of such series or on account of the redemption provisions of the Securities of such series. 
 (b) Upon a default with
respect to any Senior Indebtedness (other than under circumstances when the terms of paragraph (a) of this Section are applicable), as such default is defined therein or in the instrument under which it is outstanding, permitting the
holders to accelerate the maturity thereof, upon written notice thereof given to the Company and the Trustee by or on behalf of holders of such Senior Indebtedness (“Default Notice”), then, unless and until such default shall have been
cured or waived by the holders of such Senior Indebtedness or shall have ceased to exist (the “Payment Blockage Period”), no direct or indirect payment shall be made by the Company with respect to the principal of, or interest on, the
Securities of such series and the coupons, if any, appertaining thereto or to acquire any of such Securities or on account of the redemption provisions of the Securities of such series and the coupons, if any, appertaining thereto; provided,
however, that this paragraph (b) shall not prevent the making of any payment (which is not otherwise prohibited by paragraph (a)) for more than 179 days after the Default Notice shall have been given unless the Senior Indebtedness
in respect of which such event of default exists has been declared due and payable in its entirety, in which case no such payment may be made until such acceleration has been rescinded or annulled or such Senior Indebtedness has been paid in full.

 (c) If, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, any payment on account of principal of, or interest on, the Securities
of such series or of any coupon appertaining thereto shall be received by the Trustee, by any Holder or by any Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, money for any such payment is segregated and held in trust), then,
unless and until such payment is no longer prohibited by this Section, such payment (subject to the provisions of Section 1504) shall be held in trust for the benefit of the holders of Senior Indebtedness and, upon notice to the Trustee or such
Paying Agent from the representative of the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and pursuant to the directions of such representative, shall be paid over or delivered to the holders of Senior Indebtedness or their representative(s), ratably according
to the aggregate amount remaining unpaid on account of the principal of and interest on the Senior Indebtedness held or represented by each, for application to the payment or prepayment of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid to the extent


  
 - 88 - 








 
necessary to pay all Senior Indebtedness in full in accordance with its terms, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution or provision therefor to or for the holders of Senior
Indebtedness. Promptly after becoming aware thereof, the Company shall give written notice to the Trustee of any event prohibiting payments on account of principal of, or interest on, the Securities of any series and any coupons appertaining thereto
and, in such event, shall provide to the Trustee, in the form of an Officers’ Certificate, the names and addresses of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness and their representative(s), if any, the amount of the Senior Indebtedness held by
each such holder, any information necessary to calculate the daily or other increase in Senior Indebtedness held by such holders and any other information which the Trustee may reasonably request to comply with this Article. Subject to the
provisions of Section 1502 hereof, in the event that the Trustee or the Paying Agent reasonably determines that additional evidence is required with respect to any person as a holder of Senior Indebtedness to participate in any payment or
distribution pursuant to this Article, the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, may request that such person furnish evidence to its reasonable satisfaction as to the extent such person is entitled to participate in such payment or
distribution and as to other facts pertinent to the rights of such persons under this Article and if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, may defer any payment to such person pending judicial
determination as to the right of such person to receive such payment. 
 Section 1504. Payments on Securities Permitted. 

Nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Securities shall (a) affect the obligation of the Company to make, or prevent the
Company from making, at any time except as provided in Sections 1502 and 1503, payments of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on the Securities or (b) prevent the application by the Trustee of any moneys deposited with
it hereunder to the payment of or on account of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on the Securities, unless the Trustee shall have received at its Corporate Trust Office written notice of any event prohibiting the making of
such payment more than two Business Days prior to the date fixed for such payment. 
 Section 1505. Authorization of Holders to Trustee to Effect
Subordination. 
 Each Holder of Securities by his acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee on his behalf to take such
action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate any subordination as provided in this Article Fifteen and appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for any
and all such purposes. 
 Section 1506. Notices to Trustee. 

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article or any other provisions of this Indenture, neither the Trustee nor any Paying Agent (other
than the Company) shall be charged with knowledge of the existence of any Senior Indebtedness or of any event which would prohibit the making of any payment of moneys to or by the Trustee or such Paying Agent, unless and until the Trustee or such
Paying Agent shall have received written notice thereof from the Company or from the holder of any Senior Indebtedness or from the trustee for any such holder, together with proof satisfactory to the Trustee of such holding of Senior Indebtedness or
of the authority 

  
 - 89 - 








 
of such trustee; provided, however, that if at least two Business Days prior to the date upon which by the terms hereof any such moneys may become payable for any purpose (including,
without limitation, the payment of either the principal (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on any Security) the Trustee shall not have received with respect to such moneys the notice provided for in this Section 1506, then, anything
herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such moneys and to apply the same to the purpose for which they were received, and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary,
which may be received by it within two Business Days prior to such date. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively on the delivery to it of a written notice by a Person representing himself to be a holder of Senior Indebtedness (or a
trustee on behalf of such holder) to establish that such a notice has been given by a holder of Senior Indebtedness or a trustee on behalf of any such holder. In the event that the Trustee determines in good faith that further evidence is required
with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Senior Indebtedness to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article Fifteen, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of
the Trustee as to the amount of Senior Indebtedness held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this
Article Fifteen 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 1507. Trustee as Holder of Senior Indebtedness. 

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

Nothing in this Article Fifteen shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 607. 

Section 1508. Modifications of Terms of Senior Indebtedness. 

Any renewal or extension of the time of payment of any Senior Indebtedness or the exercise by the holders of Senior Indebtedness of any of
their rights under any instrument creating or evidencing Senior Indebtedness, including, without limitation, the waiver of default thereunder, may be made or done all without notice to or assent from the Holders of the Securities or the Trustee. No
compromise, alteration, amendment, modification, extension, renewal or other change of, or waiver, consent or other action in respect of, any liability or obligation under or in respect of, or of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of any
indenture or other instrument under which any Senior Indebtedness is outstanding or of such Senior Indebtedness, whether or not such release is in accordance with the provisions of any applicable document, shall in any way alter or affect any of the
provisions of this Article Fifteen or of the Securities relating to the subordination thereof. 

  
 - 90 - 








 Section 1509. Reliance on Judicial Order or Certificate of Liquidating Agent. 

Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article Fifteen, the Trustee and the Holders of the
Securities shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon any order or decree entered by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution, winding up or similar case or
proceeding is pending, or a certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, custodian, receiver, assignee for the benefit of creditors, agent or other person making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the
Holders of Securities, for the purpose of ascertaining the persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of Senior Indebtedness 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 Fifteen.

	6.	Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. 

 [If applicable, insert — The Securities of this
series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $                 and any integral multiple 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 and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by
the Holder surrendering the same. A Holder may register the transfer or exchange of the Security as provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to
furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. 
 [If
applicable, insert — The Securities of this series will be represented by one or more Global Securities registered in the name of
                                , (the “Depositary”), or a
nominee of the Depositary. So long as the Depositary, or its nominee, is the registered holder and owner of this Global Security, the Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner and holder of the Securities for
all purposes under the Indenture. The Global Security may be transferred, in whole and not in part, only to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary. The Depositary will credit, on its book-entry registration and transfer system, the
respective principal amounts of the Securities represented by such Global Security to the accounts of institutions that have accounts with the Depositary or its nominee (“participants”). Ownership of beneficial interests in a Global
Security will be shown on, and the transfer of those ownership interests will be effected through, records maintained by the Depositary (with respect to participants’ interests) and such participants (with respect to the owners of beneficial
interests in such Global Security).] 
 [If applicable, insert — The Securities represented by this Global Security are exchangeable
for Securities in permanent form of like tenor as such Global Security in denominations of $1,000 and in any greater amount that is an integral multiple thereof if (i) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to
continue as Depositary for this Global Security or if at any time the Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (ii) the Company in its discretion at any time determines not to
have all of the Securities of this series represented by the Global Security and notifies the Trustee thereof, or (iii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Securities. Any Security that is exchangeable
pursuant to the preceding sentence is exchangeable only for Securities of this series.] 
 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.

	8.	Amendment, Supplement and Waiver. 

 Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture and the
Securities may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of each series affected by such amendment or supplement. Without the consent of any Holder of a

Section 609 or Section 611(b) of the Indenture; (i) add to the conditions of Securities; (j) supplement any provisions to the extent necessary to permit or facilitate the defeasance and discharge of any series of Securities

to the Trust Indenture Act; (l) issue and establish the form and terms of any series of Securities with any terms permitted by the Trust Indenture Act; (m) conform any provisions of the Indenture or any Securities with the Description of

Securities; and (d) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least [30]% in principal
amount of the then outstanding Securities may declare all the Securities to be due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency involving the Company, all
outstanding Securities will become due and payable without further action or notice. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Securities except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the then 

  
 A-7 








 
outstanding Securities may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Securities notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default
(except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding by
notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Securities waive any past Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest on, or the principal of,
the Securities or a Default or Event of Default with respect to a covenant or provision of the Indenture that under Article 9 of the Indenture may not be amended without the consent of the Holder of each of the Outstanding Securities. The
Company is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Company is required upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such
Default or Event of Default. 
  

	10.	Trustee Dealings with Company. 

 The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity,
may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee. 

 

	11.	No Recourse against Others. 

 A director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder,
of the Company, as such, shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company or the Guarantors under the Securities or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each
Holder by accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Securities. 
  

	12.	[If applicable, insert—Guarantees. 

 The payment by the Company of the principal of
and interest on the Security is fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by each of the Guarantors on the terms set forth in the Indenture.]
