THE SECURITIES 

Section 2.1 Issuable in Series.

method by which specified terms (such as interest rate, maturity date, record date or date from which interest shall accrue) are to be determined. Securities may differ between Series in respect of any matters, provided that all Series of Securities
shall be equally and ratably entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

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

Section 2.3 Execution and Authentication. 
 At least one Officer shall sign the Securities for the Company by manual or facsimile signature. 
 If an Officer whose signature is on a Security no longer holds that office at the time the Security is authenticated, the Security shall nevertheless be valid. 

A Security shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent. The signature shall
be conclusive evidence that the Security has been authenticated under this Indenture. 
 The Trustee shall at any time, and from
time to time, authenticate Securities for original issue in the principal amount provided in the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officers’ Certificate, upon receipt by the Trustee of a Company Order. Such Company Order may
authorize authentication and delivery pursuant to oral or electronic instructions from the Company or its duly authorized agent or agents, which oral instructions shall be promptly confirmed in writing. Each Security shall be dated the date of its
authentication unless otherwise provided by a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officers’ Certificate. 
 The aggregate principal amount of Securities of any Series outstanding at any time may not exceed any limit upon the maximum principal amount for such Series set forth in the Board Resolution,
supplemental indenture hereto or Officers’ Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof, except as provided in Section 2.8 hereof. 
 Prior to the issuance of Securities of any Series, the Trustee shall have received and (subject to Section 7.2 hereof) shall be fully protected in relying on: (a) the Board Resolution,
supplemental indenture hereto or Officers’ Certificate establishing the form of the Securities of that Series or of Securities within that Series and the terms of the Securities of that Series or of Securities within that Series, (b) an
Officers’ Certificate complying with Section 12.4 hereof, and (c) an Opinion of Counsel complying with Section 12.4 hereof. 

  
 10 









 The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Securities of
such Series: (a) if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not be taken lawfully; or (b) if the Trustee in good faith by its board of directors or trustees, executive committee or a trust committee of
directors and/or vice presidents shall determine that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability to Holders of any then outstanding Series of Securities. 
 The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Securities. An authenticating agent may authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in
this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with the Company or an Affiliate of the Company. 

Section 2.4 Registrar and Paying Agent. 
 The Company shall maintain, with respect to each Series of Securities, at the place or places specified with respect to such Series pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof, an office or agency where
Securities of such Series may be presented or surrendered for payment (“Paying Agent”), where Securities of such Series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange (“Registrar”) and where notices and demands to or
upon the Company in respect of the Securities of such Series and this Indenture may be served (“Service Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register with respect to each Series of Securities and to their transfer and exchange. The Company
will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the name and address, and any change in the name or address, of each Registrar, Paying Agent or Service Agent. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required Registrar, Paying
Agent or Service Agent or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the name and address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints
the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands. 
 The Company may also from time
to time designate one or more co-registrars, additional paying agents or additional service agents and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company
of its obligations to maintain a Registrar, Paying Agent and Service Agent in each place so specified pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof for Securities of any Series for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of
any such designation or rescission and of any change in the name or address of any such co-registrar, additional paying agent or additional service agent. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar; the term “Paying Agent”
includes any additional paying agent; and the term “Service Agent” includes any additional service agent. 
 The
Company hereby appoints the Trustee the initial Registrar, Paying Agent and Service Agent for each Series unless another Registrar, Paying Agent or Service Agent, as the case may be, is appointed prior to the time Securities of that Series are first
issued.

 Section 2.5 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. 

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

Section 2.6 Securityholder Lists. 
 The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Securityholders of each Series of Securities and shall
otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee at least ten days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing a list, in such
form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of Securityholders of each Series of Securities. 
 None of the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Registrar shall have any responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner in a Global Security, a direct participant or other person with respect to the
accuracy of the records of the Depository or its nominee or of any direct participant, with respect to any ownership interest in the Securities or with respect to the delivery to any direct participant, beneficial owner or other person (other than
the Depository) of any notice (including any notice of redemption) or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to such Securities. All notices and communications to be given to the Securityholders and all payments to be made to
Securityholders under the Securities and this Indenture shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered holders (which shall be the Depository or its nominee in the case of the Global Security). The rights of beneficial owners in
the Global Security shall be exercised only through the Depository subject to the applicable procedures. The Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Security Registrar shall be entitled to rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information
furnished by the Depository with respect to its members, participants and any beneficial owners. The Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Security Registrar shall be entitled to deal with the Depository, and any nominee thereof, that is the registered
holder of any Global Security for all purposes of this Indenture relating to such Global Security (including the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest and additional amounts, if any, and the giving of instructions or directions by or
to the owner or holder of a beneficial ownership interest in such Global Security) as the sole holder of such Global Security and shall have no obligations to the beneficial owners thereof. None of the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Registrar
shall have any responsibility or liability for any acts or omissions of the Depository with respect to such Global Security, for the records of any such depository, including records in respect of beneficial ownership interests in respect of any
such 

  
 12 









 
Global Security, for any transactions between the Depository and any direct participant or between or among the Depository, any such direct participant and/or any holder or owner of a beneficial
interest in such Global Security, or for any transfers of beneficial interests in any such Global Security. 
 Notwithstanding
the foregoing, with respect to any Global Security, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee, or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by any
Depository (or its nominee), as a Holder, with respect to such Global Security or shall impair, as between such Depository and owners of beneficial interests in such Global Security, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the
rights of such Depository (or its nominee) as Holder of such Global Security. 
 Section 2.7 Transfer and Exchange.

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

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

 Section 2.8 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities. 

If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available
for delivery in exchange therefor a new Security of the same Series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 
 If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be
required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its
request the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same Series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously
outstanding. 

  
 13 









 In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to
become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security. 
 Upon the
issuance of any new Security under this Section 2.8, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and
expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. 
 Every new Security of any Series issued pursuant to this Section 2.8 in
lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to
all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of that Series duly issued hereunder. 
 The provisions of this Section 2.8 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or
stolen Securities. 
 Section 2.9 Outstanding Securities. 

Subject to Section 2.10 hereof, the Securities outstanding at any time are all the Securities authenticated by the Trustee except
for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest on a Global Security effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof and those described in this Section 2.9 as not outstanding.

 If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.8 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding until the Trustee receives proof
satisfactory to it that the replaced Security is held by a bona fide purchaser. 
 If the Paying Agent (other than the Company,
a Subsidiary of the Company or an Affiliate of the Company) holds on the Maturity of Securities of a Series money sufficient to pay such Securities payable on that date, then on and after that date such Securities of the Series cease to be
outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue. 
 A Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an
Affiliate of the Company holds the Security. 
 In determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of
outstanding Securities have given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, the principal amount of a Discount Security that shall be deemed to be outstanding for such purposes shall be the amount of the
principal thereof that would be due and payable as of the date of such determination upon a declaration of acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 6.2 hereof. 

  
 14 









 Section 2.10 Treasury Securities. 

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Securities of a Series have concurred in any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver, Securities of a Series owned by the Company or an Affiliate of the Company shall be disregarded, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on
any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver only Securities of a Series that the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. 
 Section 2.11 Temporary Securities. 
 Until definitive Securities are
ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities upon a Company Order. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities but may have variations that the Company
considers appropriate for temporary Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee upon request shall authenticate definitive Securities of the same Series and date of maturity in exchange for temporary Securities.
Until so exchanged, temporary securities shall have the same rights under this Indenture as the definitive Securities. 

Section 2.12 Cancellation. 
 The Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation, which have been previously authenticated and delivered hereunder and which the Company may have acquired in any manner
whatsoever. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee shall cancel all Securities surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment,
replacement or cancellation and will dispose of all cancelled Securities in accordance with its then customary procedures. The Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities that it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation,
except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. 
 Section 2.13 Defaulted Interest. 

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

 Section 2.14 Special Record Dates. 
 (a) The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, set a record date for the purpose of determining the identity of Holders entitled to consent to any supplement, amendment or waiver permitted by this
Indenture. If a record date is fixed, the Holders of such Series and Securities outstanding on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to consent to such supplement, amendment or waiver or revoke any consent previously given,
whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date. No consent shall be valid or effective for 

  
 15 









 
more than 90 days after such record date unless consents from Holders of the principal amount of such Series and Securities required hereunder for such amendment or waiver to be effective shall
have also been given and not revoked within such 90-day period. 
 (b) The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix any
day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of any Series of Securities entitled to join in the giving or making of any notice of Default, any declaration of acceleration, any request to institute proceedings or any other similar
direction. If a record date is fixed, the Holders of such Series and Securities outstanding on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or direction, whether or not such Holders remain
Holders after such record date; provided, however, that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the date 90 days after such record date. 
 Section 2.15 Global Securities. 
 2.15.1 Terms of Securities. A
Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officers’ Certificate shall establish whether the Securities of a Series shall be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Securities and the Depository for such Global
Security or Securities. 
 2.15.2 Transfer and Exchange. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained in
Section 2.7 hereof and in addition thereto, any Global Security shall be exchangeable pursuant to Section 2.7 hereof for Securities registered in the names of Holders other than the Depository for such Security or its nominee only if
(i) such Depository notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for such Global Security or if at any time such Depository ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and, in either case,
the Company fails to appoint a successor Depository registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act within 90 days of such event, (ii) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that such
Global Security shall be so exchangeable or (iii) an Event of Default with respect to the Securities represented by such Global Security shall have happened and be continuing. Any Global Security that is exchangeable pursuant to the preceding
sentence shall be exchangeable for Securities registered in such names as the Depository shall direct in writing in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security with like tenor and terms. 

Except as provided in this Section 2.15.2, a Global Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depository with respect
to such Global Security to a nominee of such Depository, by a nominee of such Depository to such Depository or another nominee of such Depository or by the Depository or any such nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of such a successor
Depository. 
 2.15.3 Legend. Any Global Security issued hereunder shall bear a legend in substantially the following
form: 
 “UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY, A

 2.15.4 Acts of Holders. The Depository, as a Holder, may appoint agents and otherwise authorize

Section 2.2 hereof, payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on any Global Security shall be made to the Holder thereof.

outstanding Securities of such Series represented by a Global Security as shall be specified in a written statement of the Depository with respect to such Global Security, for purposes of obtaining any consents, declarations, waivers or directions
required to be given by the Holders pursuant to this Indenture. 
 2.15.7 General Provisions Relating to Global
Securities. Owners of beneficial interests in the Securities evidenced by a Global Security will not be entitled to any rights under this Indenture with respect to such Global Security, and the Depository or its nominee may be treated by the
Company, the Guarantors, and the Trustee and any agent of the Company, the Guarantors or the Trustee, including any Agent, as the owner and Holder of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. None of the Company, the Trustee, any Agent or

 Section 2.16 CUSIP Numbers. 

The Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP”, “ISIN” or other similar numbers (if then generally in use),
and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP”, “ISIN” or other similar numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such
numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other elements of identification printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any
defect in or omission of such numbers. 
 ARTICLE III. 
 REDEMPTION 
 Section 3.1 Notice to Trustee. 

The Company may, with respect to any Series of Securities, reserve the right to redeem and pay the Series of Securities or may covenant
to redeem and pay the Series of Securities or any part thereof prior to the Stated Maturity thereof at such time and on such terms as provided for in such Securities. If a Series of Securities is redeemable and the Company wants or is obligated to
redeem prior to the Stated Maturity thereof all or part of the Series of Securities pursuant to the terms of such Securities, it shall provide written notification to the Trustee of the redemption date and the principal amount of Series of
Securities to be redeemed. The Company shall give the written notice at least 45 days before the redemption date (or such shorter notice as may be acceptable to the Trustee). 
 Section 3.2 Selection of Securities to be Redeemed or Repurchased. 

Unless otherwise indicated for a particular Series by a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture or an Officers’ Certificate, if
less than all the Securities of a Series are to be redeemed or repurchased, the Trustee shall select the Securities of the Series to be redeemed or repurchased on a pro rata basis unless otherwise required by law or applicable stock exchange
requirements. 
 In the event of partial redemption or purchase by lot, the Trustee shall make the selection from Securities of
the Series outstanding not previously called for redemption or repurchase. The Trustee may select for redemption or repurchase portions of the principal of Securities of the Series that have denominations larger than $2,000, or with respect to
Securities of any Series issuable in other denominations pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof the minimum principal denomination for such series. Securities of the Series and portions of them it selects


  
 18

minimum principal denomination for each Series and integral multiples thereof. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Securities of a Series called for redemption or repurchase also apply to portions of Securities of that Series called for
redemption or repurchase. 
 Section 3.3 Notice of Redemption. 

Unless otherwise indicated for a particular Series by Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officers’ Certificate,
at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Company shall mail a notice of redemption by first-class mail to each Holder whose Securities are to be redeemed and if any Bearer Securities are outstanding, publish on one
occasion a notice in an Authorized Newspaper, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Series of Securities or a satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Articles VIII or XII hereof. 
 The notice shall identify the Securities of the Series
to be redeemed and shall state: 
 (a) the redemption date; 

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

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

 (f) the CUSIP, ISIN or other similar number, if any; and 

(g) any other information as may be required by the terms of the particular Series or the Securities of a Series being
redeemed. 
 At the Company’s written request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name
and at its expense. 
 Section 3.4 Effect of Notice of Redemption. 

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

accrued interest, if any, on all Securities to be redeemed on that date. 
 Section 3.6 Securities Redeemed in Part.

 Upon surrender of a Security that is redeemed in part, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder a new Security of the
same Series and the same maturity equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Security surrendered. 
 ARTICLE IV.

 COVENANTS 
 Section 4.1 Payment of Principal and Interest. 
 The Company covenants and
agrees for the benefit of the Holders of each Series of Securities that it will pay or cause to be paid the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, the Securities of that Series on the dates and in the manner provided in such Securities.
Principal, premium, if any, and interest on any Series of Securities will be considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent, if other than the Company or a Subsidiary thereof, holds as of 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date money deposited
by the Company in immediately available funds and designated for and sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and interest then due. 
 The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Holders of each Series of Securities that it will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on
overdue principal with respect to such Securities at the rate equal to 1% per annum in excess of the then applicable interest rate on such Securities to the extent lawful; it will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding
under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace period) at the same rate to the extent lawful. 
 Section 4.2 Maintenance of Office or Agency. 
 The Company covenants
and agrees for the benefit of the Holders of each Series of Securities that it will maintain an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee for such Securities or an affiliate of such Trustee, Registrar for such Securities or
co-registrar) where such Securities may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of such Securities and this Indenture may be served. The Company will give prompt
written notice to the Trustee for such Securities of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company fails to maintain any such required office or agency or fails to furnish such Trustee with the
address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of such Trustee. 

  
 20 









 The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where
Holders of a Series of Securities may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee for such Series of Securities of any such
designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. 
 With respect to each Series
of Securities, the Company hereby designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee for such Securities as one such office or agency of the Company in accordance with Section 2.5 hereof. 

Section 4.3 SEC Reports. 
 (a) Whether or not required by the rules and regulations of the SEC, so long as any Series of Securities are outstanding, if not filed electronically through the SEC’s Electronic Data Gathering,
Analysis, and Retrieval System (or any successor system), the Company will furnish to the Holders of such Securities or cause the Trustee with respect to such Series of Securities (provided that the Company shall reimburse the Trustee for its
out-of-pocket expenses associated therewith) to furnish to the Holders of such Securities, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations: 

(1) all quarterly and annual reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if the Company
were required to file reports, including a “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and, with respect to the annual information only, a report thereon by the Company’s independent
registered public accounting firm; and 
 (2) all current reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC
on Form 8-K if the Company were required to file such reports. 
 In addition, the Company will file a copy of each of the
reports referred to in clauses (1) and (2) above with the SEC for public availability within the time periods specified in the rules and regulations applicable to such reports (unless the SEC will not accept such a filing) and will post
the reports on its website within those time periods. The Company will at all times comply with TIA § 314(a). 
 If, at any
time, the Company is no longer subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for any reason, the Company will nevertheless continue filing the reports specified in the preceding paragraph with the SEC within the time periods
specified above unless the SEC will not accept such a filing. The Company will not take any action for the purpose of causing the SEC not to accept any such filings. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, the SEC will not accept the Company’s
filings for any reason, the Company will post the reports referred to in the preceding paragraph on its website within the time periods that would apply if the Company were required to file those reports with the SEC. 

(b) For so long as any Series of Securities remain outstanding, if at any time they are not required to file with the SEC the reports
required by paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 4.3, the Company and any Guarantors of such Securities will furnish to the Holders of such Securities and to securities analysts and prospective investors, upon their request, the
information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act. 

  
 21 









 (c) The Company shall file with the Trustee (within 15 days after filing with the SEC in the
case of reports, information and documents which pursuant to the TIA must be filed with the SEC and furnished to the Trustee) and transmit to the Holders, such reports, information and other documents, if any, at such times and in such manner, as
shall be required by the TIA. Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein
or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates). 

Section 4.4 Compliance Certificate. 
 (a) The Company and each Guarantor of any Series of Securities (to the extent that such Guarantor is so required under the TIA) shall deliver to the Trustee with respect to such Series, within 120 days
after the end of each fiscal year, an Officers’ Certificate stating that a review of the activities of the Company and its Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing Officers with a view to
determining whether the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under this Indenture, and further stating, as to each such Officer signing such certificate, that to the best of his or her knowledge the Company has kept,
observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in this Indenture and is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (or, if a Default or Event of Default has
occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which he or she may have knowledge and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto) and that to the best of his or her knowledge no event has occurred and
remains in existence by reason of which payments on account of the principal of or interest, if any, on the Series of Securities is prohibited or if such event has occurred, a description of the event and what action the Company is taking or
proposes to take with respect thereto. 
 (b) So long as any Series of Securities is outstanding, the Company will deliver to
the Trustee with respect to such Series, forthwith upon any Officer becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, an Officers’ Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default and what action the Company is taking or proposes to
take with respect thereto. 
 Section 4.5 Taxes. 

The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Holders of each Series of Securities that it will pay, and will cause each of its
Subsidiaries to pay, prior to delinquency, all material taxes, assessments, and governmental levies except such as are contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings or where the failure to effect such payment is not adverse in any material
respect to the Holders of such Securities. 

  
 22 









 Section 4.6 Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. 

The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Holders of each Series of Securities (to the extent that it may lawfully do so)
that it will not, and each Guarantor of such Securities will not, at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter
in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company and each such Guarantor (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, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee for such Securities, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.

 Section 4.7 Corporate Existence. 
 Subject to Article V hereof, the Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Holders of each Series of Securities that it shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in
full force and effect: 
 (1) its corporate existence, and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each
of its Subsidiaries, in accordance with the respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of the Company or any such Subsidiary; and 

(2) the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company and its Subsidiaries; provided, however,
that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the corporate, partnership or other existence of any of its Subsidiaries, if at least two Officers of the Company, one of which is the Chief Executive
Officer or the Chief Financial Officer, shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any
material respect to the Holders of such Securities. 
 ARTICLE V. 

SUCCESSORS 

Section 5.1 Merger, Consolidation, or Sale of Assets. 

The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Holders of each Series of Securities that it shall not, directly or indirectly:
(i) consolidate or merge with or into another person (whether or not the Company is the surviving corporation); or (2) sell, assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the
Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, in one or more related transactions, to another person, unless: 

(1) either: 
 (A) the Company is the surviving corporation; or 

  
 23 









 (B) the person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if
other than the Company) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made is an entity organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state of the United States or the District of Columbia;
provided that if such person is a limited liability company or partnership, a corporate subsidiary of such person organized under the laws of the United States or the District of Columbia becomes a co-issuer of the Securities in connection
therewith; 
 (2) the person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Company)
or the person to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made assumes all the obligations of the Company under such Securities and this Indenture pursuant to a supplemental indenture; and 

(3) immediately after such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists. 

In addition, the Company will not, directly or indirectly, lease all or substantially all of its properties or assets, in one or more
related transactions, to any other person. This Section 5.1 will not apply to: 
 (1) a merger of the
Company with an Affiliate solely for the purpose of reincorporating the Company in another jurisdiction; or 

(2) any consolidation or merger, or any sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, lease or other disposition of assets
between or among the Company and its Subsidiaries. 
 Section 5.2 Successor Corporation Substituted. 

Upon any consolidation or merger, or any sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the
properties or assets of the Company in a transaction that is subject to, and that complies with the provisions of, Section 5.1 hereof, the successor person formed by such consolidation or into or with which the Company is merged or to which
such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition, the
provisions of this Indenture referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the successor person and not to the Company), and may exercise every right and power of the Company under this Indenture with the same effect as if such
successor person had been named as the Company herein; provided, however, that the predecessor Company shall not be relieved from the obligation to pay the principal of and interest on any Series of Securities in the case of a sale of all of the
Company’s assets in a transaction that is subject to, and that complies with the provisions of, Section 5.1 hereof. 

  
 24 









 ARTICLE VI. 
 DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES 
 Section 6.1 Events of Default. 

“Event of Default,” wherever used herein with respect to Securities of any Series, means any one of the following events,
unless in the establishing Board Resolution, supplemental indenture or Officers’ Certificate, it is provided that such Series shall not have the benefit of said Event of Default: 

(a) default in the payment of any interest on any Security of that Series when it becomes due and payable, and continuance of such
default for a period of 30 days; or 
 (b) default in payment when due of the principal of, or premium, if any, on any Security
of that Series; or 
 (c) default in the deposit of any sinking fund payment, when and as due in respect of any Security of that
Series; or 
 (d) default in the performance or breach of any covenant or warranty of the Company in this Indenture (other than
a covenant or warranty that has been included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of Series of Securities other than that Series), which default continues uncured for the period and after the notice specified below; 

(e) the Company pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law: 

(i) commences a voluntary case, 
 (ii) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case, 
 (iii) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property, 
 (iv) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or 
 (v) generally is unable to pay its debts as the same become due; or 
 (f) a court
of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that: 
 (i) is for relief against
the Company in an involuntary case, 
 (ii) appoints a Custodian of the Company or for all or substantially all
of its property, or 
 (iii) orders the liquidation of the Company, and the order or decree remains unstayed and
in effect for 60 days; or 

  
 25 









 (g) any other Event of Default provided with respect to Securities of that Series, which is
specified in a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officers’ Certificate, in accordance with Section 2.2 hereof. 
 The term “Bankruptcy Law” means title 11, U.S. Code or any similar Federal or State law for the relief of debtors. The term “Custodian” means any receiver, trustee, assignee,
liquidator or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law. 
 A Default under clause (d) above is not an Event of Default
with respect to a particular series of Securities until the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of that series notify the Company of the Default and the Company does not cure the Default
within 60 days (except that, in the case of a default in the performance of or any breach of the covenant set forth in Section 4.3 hereof, such period shall be 120 days) after receipt of the notice. The notice must specify the Default, demand
that it be remedied and state that the notice is a “Notice of Default.” Such notice shall be given by the Trustee if so requested in writing by the Holders of at least 25% of the principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of that
series. 
 Section 6.2 Acceleration. 
 If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any Series at the time outstanding occurs and is continuing (other than an Event of Default referred to in Section 6.1(e) or (f) hereof) then
in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of that Series may declare the principal amount (or, if any Securities of that Series are Discount Securities, such portion of the
principal amount as may be specified in the terms of such Securities) of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all of the Securities of that Series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if
given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount) and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(e) or
(f) hereof shall occur, the principal amount (or specified amount) of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all outstanding Securities shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act
on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. 
 At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to any Series has
been made, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of that Series, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict
with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default (except nonpayment of principal, interest or premium that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived. 

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

Section 6.3 Other Remedies. 
 If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any Series at the time outstanding occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal, premium,
if any, and interest on such Securities or to enforce the performance of any provision of such Securities or this Indenture. 

  
 26 









 The Trustee for such Securities may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of
such Securities or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of Securities in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute
a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law. 

Section 6.4 Waiver of Past Defaults. 
 Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of any Series by notice to the Trustee for such Securities may on behalf of the Holders of all of such
Securities waive an existing Default or Event of Default with respect to such Securities and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, such
Securities (including in connection with an offer to purchase); provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of any Series may rescind an acceleration of such Securities and its
consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of
this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

Section 6.5 Control by Majority. 
 Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of any Series may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available
to the Trustee for such Securities or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee for any Series of Securities may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture that such Trustee determines may be
unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of such Securities or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability. 

Section 6.6 Limitation on Suits. 
 A Holder of any Series of Securities may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or such Securities only if: 
 (1) such Holder gives to the Trustee for such Securities written notice that an Event of Default is continuing; 
 (2) Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of such Series make a written request to the Trustee for such Securities to pursue the remedy; 

  
 27 









 (3) such Holder or Holders offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee
for such Securities security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to such Trustee against any loss, liability or expense; 
 (4) such Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and 

(5) during such 60-day period, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of
such Series do not give such Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request. 
 A Holder of any Series of Securities may not
use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of such Series of Securities or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of Securities of such Series. 

Section 6.7 Rights of Holders of Securities to Receive Payment. 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Security of any Series to receive payment of
principal, premium, if any, and interest on such Securities, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Securities (including, if applicable, in connection with an offer to purchase), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such
payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder. 

Section 6.8 Collection Suit by Trustee. 
 If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(a), (b) or (c) hereof with respect to Securities of any Series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee for such Securities is authorized to
recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount of principal of, premium, if any, and interest remaining unpaid on, such Securities and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent
lawful, interest and 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. 

Section 6.9 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 
 The Trustee for each Series of Securities is authorized to file such proofs of claim and 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 the Holders of the Securities for which it acts as trustee allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or
any other obligor upon such Securities), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such
judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder of such Securities to make such payments to such Trustee, and in the event that such Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to such Holders, 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 the Indenture. To 

  
 28 









 
the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of such Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due such Trustee out of the estate in any
such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that such Holders may be entitled to receive
in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize such Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder for
which it acts as trustee any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of such Holder, or to authorize such Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any such Holder in any such
proceeding. 
 Section 6.10 Priorities. 
 If the Trustee of any Series of Securities collects any money pursuant to this Article VI, it shall pay out the money, or any money or other property is distributed or distributable in respect of the
Company’s or any Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture after an Event of Default, such monies and property shall be paid in the following order: 
 First: to the Trustee (including any predecessor Trustee), its agents and attorneys for amounts due under this Indenture, including under Section 7.07 hereof and payment of all compensation, expenses
and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection; 
 Second: to
Holders of such Securities for amounts due and unpaid on such Securities for principal, premium, if any, and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Securities for principal,
premium, if any and interest, respectively; and 
 Third: to the Company or to such party as a court of competent
jurisdiction shall direct. 
 The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders of Securities
pursuant to this Section 6.10. 
 Section 6.11 Undertaking for Costs. 

In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against any Trustee for any action taken or
omitted by it as a trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable
attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of
a Security pursuant to Section 6.7 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of any Series.

risk is not reasonably assured to it.

 (f) The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice of such counsel or
any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon. 

(g) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement,
instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such
facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole
cost of the Company and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation. 
 (h) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice or be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless
written notice of any such Default or Event of Default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Securities generally or the Securities of a particular Series and, in either case, this
Indenture. 
 (i) 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 (including each Agent), custodian and other person employed to act hereunder. 

(j) 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. 
 (k) Anything in this Indenture notwithstanding, in no event
shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood
of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. 
 (l) The Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for any
failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Indenture arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its control, including, without limitation, acts of God; earthquakes; fire; flood; terrorism; wars
and other military disturbances; sabotage; epidemics; riots; interruptions; loss or malfunctions of utilities, computer (hardware or software) or communication services; accidents; labor disputes; acts of civil or military authority and governmental
action. 
 (m) The permissive right of the Trustee to take or refrain from taking action hereunder shall not be construed as a
duty. 

  
 32 









 (n) The Trustee shall not be required to provide any bond or surety with respect to the
execution of these trusts and powers. 
 Section 7.3 Individual Rights of Trustee. 

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company
or an Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 hereof. 

Section 7.4 Trustee’s Disclaimer. 
 The Trustee will not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Securities, it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the
proceeds from the Securities, and it shall not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or in the Securities other than its certificate of authentication. 
 Section 7.5 Notice of Defaults. 
 If a Default or Event of Default
occurs and is continuing with respect to the Securities of any Series and if it is known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to each Securityholder of the Securities of that Series and, if any Bearer Securities are
outstanding, publish on one occasion in an Authorized Newspaper, notice of a Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs or, if later, after a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has knowledge of such Default or Event of Default.
Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of or interest on any Security of any Series, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as its corporate trust committee or a committee of its Responsible Officers
in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Securityholders of that Series. 
 Section 7.6
Reports by Trustee to Holders. 
 Within 60 days after May 15 in each year, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to
all Securityholders, as their names and addresses appear on the register kept by the Registrar and, if any Bearer Securities are outstanding, publish in an Authorized Newspaper, a brief report dated as of such May 15, in accordance with, and to
the extent required under, TIA § 313. 
 A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Securityholders of any Series
shall be filed by the Trustee with the SEC and each stock exchange on which the Securities of that Series are listed. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee when Securities of any Series are listed on any stock exchange and of any delisting
thereof. 
 Section 7.7 Compensation and Indemnity. 

The Company and each Guarantor shall pay to the Trustee from time to time compensation for its services as the Company and the Trustee
shall from time to time agree upon in writing. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by it. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel. 

  
 33 









 The Company and each Guarantor, if any, will indemnify the Trustee and any predecessor
Trustee and its officers, directors, employees, shareholders and agents (each an “Indemnitee”) for, and hold them harmless against, any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and
expenses and taxes (other than those based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee) incurred by it arising out of or in connection with this Indenture, the Securities and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the
acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company and any Guarantor (including this Section 7.7) and defending itself against any claim (whether
asserted by the Company, the Guarantors, any Holder or any other person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except as set forth in the next paragraph in the performance of its duties
under this Indenture as Trustee or Agent. The Trustee will notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company will not relieve the Company or any of the Guarantors of their
obligations hereunder. The Company or such Guarantor will defend the claim and the Trustee will cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. Neither the
Company nor any Guarantor need pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. 
 The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability, damage, claim or expense incurred by the Trustee or by any officer, director, employee, shareholder or agent of the
Trustee through gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. 
 To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this
Section 7.7, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities of any Series on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee as such, except that held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Securities of that
Series. 
 In addition and without prejudice to its other rights hereunder, when the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services
after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(e) or (f) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. 

“Trustee” for purposes of this Section 7.7 shall include any predecessor Trustee; provided, however, that the negligence,
willful misconduct or bad faith of any Trustee hereunder shall not affect the rights of any other Trustee hereunder. 
 The
provisions of this Section 7.7 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of the Securities, the termination of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee. 

Section 7.8 Replacement of Trustee. 
 A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.8.


  
 34 









 The Trustee may resign with respect to the Securities of one or more Series by so notifying
the Company at least 30 days prior to the date of the proposed resignation. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of any Series may remove the Trustee with respect to that Series by so notifying the Trustee and the Company.
The Company may remove the Trustee with respect to Securities of one or more Series if: 
 (a) the Trustee fails to comply with
Section 7.10 hereof; 
 (b) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with
respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law; 
 (c) a Custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its
property; or 
 (d) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting. 

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

 If a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any one or more Series does not take office within 30 days after the
retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the Securities of the applicable Series may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
successor Trustee. 
 A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to
the Company. Immediately after that, the retiring Trustee shall transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.7 hereof, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee
shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee with respect to each Series of Securities for which it is acting as Trustee under this Indenture. A successor Trustee shall mail a notice
of its succession to each Securityholder of each such Series and, if any Bearer Securities are outstanding, publish such notice on one occasion in an Authorized Newspaper. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.8,
the Company’s obligations and the lien provided for under Section 7.7 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee with respect to expenses and liabilities incurred by it prior to such replacement. 

Section 7.9 Successor Trustee by Merger, etc. 
 If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts with or into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another person, the successor person without any further act
shall be the successor Trustee. 

  
 35 









 Section 7.10 Eligibility; Disqualification. 

This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA § 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee shall
always have a combined capital and surplus of at least $25,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. The Trustee shall comply with TIA § 310(b). For purposes of Section 310(b)(1) of the TIA and to the
extent permitted thereby, the Trustee, in its capacity as trustee in respect of the Securities of any series, shall not be deemed to have a conflicting interest arising from its capacity as trustee in respect of the Securities issued pursuant to
that certain Indenture [list other Company indentures under which The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. acts as trustee]. 
 Section 7.11 Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company. 
 The
Trustee is subject to TIA § 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA § 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA § 311(a) to the extent indicated therein. 

ARTICLE VIII. 

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE 
 Section 8.1 Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 

The Company may at any time elect to have either Section 8.2 or 8.3 hereof be applied to all outstanding Securities of any Series
upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article VIII. 
 Section 8.2 Legal Defeasance and
Discharge. 
 Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.1 hereof of the option applicable to this
Section 8.2, the Company and each Guarantor, if any, of such Securities will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.4 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from its or their obligations with respect to
all outstanding Securities of such Series (including the related guarantees, if any) on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company and
such Guarantors will be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the outstanding Securities of such Series (including the related guarantees, if any), which will thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding”
only for the purposes of Section 8.5 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (1) and (2) below, and to have satisfied all its or their other obligations under such Securities, such guarantees, if any,
and this Indenture (and the Trustee for such Securities, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which will survive until otherwise terminated or
discharged hereunder: 
 (1) the rights of Holders of outstanding Securities of such Series to receive payments
in respect of the principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on, such Securities when such payments are due from the trust referred to in Section 8.4 hereof; 

  
 36 









 (2) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Securities under
Article II hereof and Section 4.2 hereof; 
 (3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the
Trustee for such Securities hereunder and the Company’s and the Guarantors’, if any, obligations in connection therewith; and 
 (4) this Article VIII. 
 Subject to compliance with this Article VIII, the Company
may exercise its option under this Section 8.2 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.3 hereof. 
 Section 8.3 Covenant Defeasance. 
 Upon the Company’s exercise
under Section 8.1 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.3, the Company and each of the Guarantors, if any, will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.4 hereof, be released from each of their
or its obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6 and 4.7 hereof, Section 5.1 hereof, and covenants specified in a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officers’ Certificate, in accordance
with Section 2.2 hereof, with respect to the outstanding Securities of the applicable Series on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.4 hereof are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and such
Securities will thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders of such Securities (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but will
continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Securities will not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the
outstanding Securities of such Series, the Company may omit to comply with and will 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 will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.1
hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities will be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.1 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.3,
subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.4 hereof, Sections 6.1(d) or 6.1(g) hereof will not constitute Events of Default. 
 Section 8.4 Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance. 
 In order to
exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance under either Section 8.2 or 8.3 hereof with respect to Securities of any Series: 
 (1) the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee for such Securities, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a
combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm, or firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, the
outstanding Securities of such Series on the stated date for payment 

  
 37 









 
thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Company must specify whether such Securities are being defeased to such stated date for payment or to a particular
redemption date; 
 (2) in the case of an election under Section 8.2 hereof, the Company must deliver to the
Trustee for such Securities an Opinion of Counsel confirming that: 
 (A) the Company has received from, or there
has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling; or 
 (B) since the date of this Indenture, there
has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, 
 in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel
shall confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding Securities of such Series will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts,
in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred; 

(3) in the case of an election under Section 8.3 hereof, the Company must deliver to the Trustee for such Securities
an Opinion of Counsel confirming that the Holders of such Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in
the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred; 

(4) no Default or Event of Default with respect to such Securities shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of
such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit) and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which the
Company or any Guarantor of such Securities is a party or by which the Company or any such Guarantor is bound; 

(5) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default
under, any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound; and 

(6) the Company must deliver to the Trustee for such Securities an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel,
each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with. 

Section 8.5 Deposited Money and Government Securities to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. 

Subject to Section 8.6 hereof, all money and non-callable Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with a
Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.5, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.4 hereof in 

  
 38 









 
respect of the outstanding Securities of any Series will be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and this Indenture, to the payment,
either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Securities of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and
interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 The Company will pay
and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.4 hereof 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 the outstanding Securities of the applicable Series. 
 Notwithstanding anything in this Article VIII to the contrary, the Trustee will deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the request of the Company any money or non-callable Government
Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.4 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion
delivered under Section 8.4(1) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 

Section 8.6 Repayment to Company. 
 Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Series of Securities and remaining
unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on its request or (if then held by the Company) will be discharged from such trust; and the Holders of such Securities
will thereafter be permitted to look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, will thereupon cease;
provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice
that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which will not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.

 Section 8.7 Reinstatement. 
 If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. dollars or non-callable Government Securities in accordance with Section 8.2 or 8.3 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order or
judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company’s and any applicable Guarantors’ obligations under this Indenture and the applicable Securities and the
guarantees will be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.2 or 8.3 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.2 or 8.3
hereof, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Company makes 

  
 39 









 
any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any such Securities following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company will be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of
such Securities to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 
 ARTICLE IX. 

AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS 
 Section 9.1 Without Consent of Holders. 
 Notwithstanding
Section 9.2 hereof, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Securities of one or more Series without the consent of any Securityholder: 

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

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

(c) to provide for the assumption of the Company’s obligations to the Holders of the Securities by a successor to the
Company pursuant to Article V hereof; 
 (d) to add any additional Events of Default with respect to all or any
series of Securities Outstanding hereunder; 
 (e) to add additional Guarantors in respect of the Securities and
to evidence the release and discharge of any Guarantor from its obligations under its guarantee of the Securities and its obligations under this Indenture in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; 

(f) to secure the Securities pursuant to the requirements of any covenant on liens in respect of such Series of Securities
or otherwise or to provide the terms and conditions for the release or substitution of the Security; 
 (g) to
change or eliminate any of the provisions of this Indenture, or to add any new provision to this Indenture, in respect of one or more series of Securities; provided, however, that any such change, elimination or addition (A) shall
neither (i) apply to any Security outstanding on the date of such indenture supplemental hereto nor (ii) modify the rights of the Holder of any such Security with respect to such provision in effect prior to the date of such indenture
supplemental hereto or (B) shall become effective only when no Security of such series remains outstanding; 

(h) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of Securities or that does not
adversely affect the legal rights hereunder of any Securityholder; 
 (i) to comply with requirements of the SEC
in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA; 

  
 40 









 (j) to provide for the issuance of and establish the form and terms and
conditions of Securities of any Series as permitted by this Indenture; 
 (k) to conform the text of this
Indenture and the Securities of any Series to the “Description of Debt Securities” or the comparable provision in the applicable prospectus supplement to the extent the “Description of Debt Securities” or such comparable
provision in such applicable prospectus supplement was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of this Indenture or the Securities of such Series, which intent may be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate to that effect; or

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

Upon the request of the Company and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.2 hereof, the Trustee will
join with the Company in the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee
will not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. 
 Section 9.2 With Consent of Holders. 
 The Company and the Trustee may
enter into a supplemental indenture with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of each Series affected by such supplemental indenture (including consents obtained in connection
with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Securities of such Series), for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying
in any manner the rights of the Securityholders of each such Series. Except as provided in Section 6.4 hereof, the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of each Series by notice to the Trustee
(including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Securities of such Series) may waive compliance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture or the Securities with respect to such Series. 

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders of Securities under this Section 9.2 to approve the particular form of any
proposed supplemental indenture or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. Upon the request of the Company and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the
Holders of Securities as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.2 hereof, the Trustee will join with the Company in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture unless such amended or
supplemental indenture directly affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but will not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental
Indenture. 

  
 41 









 After a supplemental indenture or waiver under this Section 9.2 becomes effective, the
Company shall mail to the Holders of Securities affected thereby and, if any Bearer Securities affected thereby are outstanding, publish on one occasion in an Authorized Newspaper, a notice briefly describing the supplemental indenture or waiver.
Any failure by the Company to mail or publish such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture or waiver. 

Section 9.3 Limitations. 
 Without the consent of each Securityholder affected, an amendment or waiver may not: 
 (a) change the amount of Securities whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver; 
 (b) reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest (including default interest) on any Security; 
 (c) reduce the principal or change the Stated Maturity of any Security or reduce the amount of, or postpone the date fixed for, the payment of any sinking fund or analogous obligation; 

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

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

(f) make the principal of or interest, if any, on any Security payable in any currency other than that stated in the
Security; 
 (g) make any change in Sections 6.4, 6.7 or 9.3 (this sentence) hereof; or 

(h) waive a redemption payment with respect to any Security or change any of the provisions (other than the timing with
respect to notice provisions) with respect to the redemption of any Securities. 
 Section 9.4 Compliance with Trust
Indenture Act. 
 Every amendment to this Indenture or the Securities of one or more Series shall be set forth in a
supplemental indenture hereto that complies with the TIA as then in effect. 

  
 42 









 Section 9.5 Revocation and Effect of Consents. 

(a) Until an amendment or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Security is a continuing consent by the Holder and
every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Security. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may
revoke the consent as to his Security or portion of a Security if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the amendment or waiver becomes effective. 
 (b) The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver which record date shall be at
least 30 days prior to the first solicitation of such consent. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the last sentence of the immediately preceding paragraph, those persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated
proxies), and only those persons, shall be entitled to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such
record date. The Company shall inform the Trustee in writing of the fixed record date if applicable. 
 (c) Any amendment or
waiver once effective shall bind every Securityholder of each Series affected by such amendment or waiver unless it is of the type described in any of clauses (a) through (h) of Section 9.3 hereof. In that case, the amendment or
waiver shall bind each Holder of a Security who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security. 

Section 9.6 Notice of Amendment; Notation on or Exchange of Securities. 

After any amendment under this Article IX becomes effective, the Company shall mail to Securityholders a notice briefly describing such
amendment. The failure to give such notice to all Securityholders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of any amendment under this Article IX. 
 The Company or the Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment or waiver on any Security of any Series thereafter authenticated. The Company in exchange for Securities of that Series may
issue and the Trustee shall authenticate upon request new Securities of that Series that reflect the amendment or waiver. 

Section 9.7 Trustee Protected. 
 In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article IX or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall
be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 7.1 hereof) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. The Trustee
shall sign all supplemental indentures, except that the Trustee need not sign any supplemental indenture that adversely affects its rights.

(c) the Company or any Guarantor of such Securities has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under this Indenture; and

discharge have been satisfied, and all fees and expenses of the Trustee shall have been paid.

in this Section 11.1 will be deemed to discharge those provisions of Section 7.7 hereof, that, by their terms, survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 

Section 11.2 Application of Trust Money. 
 Subject to the provisions of Section 8.6 hereof, all money deposited with a Trustee pursuant to Section 11.1 hereof shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of

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 and any applicable Guarantor’s obligations under
this Indenture and the applicable Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 11.1 hereof; provided that if the Company has made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on,
any Securities because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

Section 12.15 Securities in a Foreign Currency. 
 Unless otherwise specified in a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officers’ Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof with respect to a particular Series of
Securities, whenever for purposes of this Indenture any action may be taken by the Holders of a specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of Securities of all Series or all Series affected by a particular action at the time outstanding and,
at such time, there are outstanding Securities of any Series which are denominated in a coin or currency other than Dollars, then the principal amount of Securities of such Series which shall be deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of taking
such action shall be that amount of Dollars that could be obtained for such amount at the Market Exchange Rate at such time. For purposes of this Section 12.15, “Market Exchange Rate” shall mean the noon Dollar buying rate in New York
City for cable transfers of that currency as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. If such Market Exchange Rate is not available for any reason with respect to such currency, the Trustee shall use, in its sole discretion and without
liability on its part, such quotation of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York as of the most recent available date, or quotations from one or more major banks in The City of New York or in the country of issue of the currency in question or such
other quotations as the Trustee, upon consultation with the Company, shall deem appropriate. The provisions of this paragraph shall apply in determining the equivalent principal amount in respect of Securities of a Series denominated in currency
other than Dollars in connection with any action taken by Holders of Securities pursuant to the terms of this Indenture. 
 All
decisions and determinations of the Trustee regarding the Market Exchange Rate or any alternative determination provided for in the preceding paragraph shall be in its sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, to the extent
permitted by law, be conclusive for all purposes and irrevocably binding upon the Company and all Holders.

which a judgment will be rendered (the “Judgment Currency”), the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Trustee could purchase in The City of New York the Required


  
 49 









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

 ARTICLE XIII. 
 SINKING FUNDS 

Section 13.1 Applicability of Article. 
 The provisions of this Article XIII shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of the Securities of a Series, except as otherwise permitted or required by any form of Security of such
Series issued pursuant to this Indenture. 
 The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of the
Securities of any Series is herein referred to as a “mandatory sinking fund payment” and any other amount provided for by the terms of Securities of such Series is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment.” If
provided for by the terms of Securities of any Series, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 13.2 hereof. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities of any
Series as provided for by the terms of the Securities of such Series. 
 Section 13.2 Satisfaction of Sinking Fund
Payments with Securities. 
 The Company may, in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to
the Securities of any Series to be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities 

  
 50 









 
(1) deliver outstanding Securities of such Series to which such sinking fund payment is applicable (other than any of such Securities previously called for mandatory sinking fund redemption) and
(2) apply as credit Securities of such Series to which such sinking fund payment is applicable and which have been repurchased by the Company or redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Series of Securities
(except pursuant to any mandatory sinking fund) or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments or other optional redemptions pursuant to the terms of such Securities, provided that such Securities have not been previously so
credited. Such Securities shall be received by the Trustee, together with an Officers’ Certificate with respect thereto, not later than 15 days prior to the date on which the Trustee begins the process of selecting Securities for redemption,
and shall be credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the price specified in such Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly. If as a result of the
delivery or credit of Securities in lieu of cash payments pursuant to this Section 13.2, the principal amount of Securities of such Series to be redeemed in order to exhaust the aforesaid cash payment shall be less than $100,000, the Trustee
need not call Securities of such Series for redemption, except upon receipt of a Company Order that such action be taken, and such cash payment shall be held by the Trustee or a Paying Agent and applied to the next succeeding sinking fund payment,
provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall from time to time upon receipt of a Company Order pay over and deliver to the Company any cash payment so being held by the Trustee or such Paying Agent upon delivery by the Company to
the Trustee of Securities of that Series purchased by the Company having an unpaid principal amount equal to the cash payment required to be released to the Company. 
 Section 13.3 Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund. 
 Not less
than 45 days (unless otherwise indicated in the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture or Officers’ Certificate in respect of a particular Series of Securities) prior to each sinking fund payment date for any Series of Securities, the Company
will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment for that Series pursuant to the terms of that Series, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment
of cash and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting of Securities of that Series pursuant to Section 13.2 hereof, and the optional amount, if any, to be added in cash to the next ensuing mandatory
sinking fund payment, and the Company shall thereupon be obligated to pay the amount therein specified. Not less than 30 days (unless otherwise indicated in the Board Resolution, Officers’ Certificate or supplemental indenture in respect of a
particular Series of Securities) before each such sinking fund payment date the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 3.2 hereof and cause notice of the
redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided in Section 3.3 hereof. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner
stated in Sections 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6 hereof.
