Unregistered Securities shall have coupons attached. 
 Section 2.02 Execution and Authentication. Two Officers shall execute
the Securities and one Officer shall execute the coupons, if any, appertaining thereto, for the Company by facsimile or manual signature in the name and on behalf of the Company. If an Officer whose signature is on a Security or coupon appertaining
thereto no longer holds that office at the time the Security is authenticated, the Security and such coupon shall nevertheless be valid. 

The Trustee, at the expense of the Company, may appoint an authenticating agent (the “Authenticating Agent”) to authenticate
Securities. The 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 Authenticating Agent. 

A Security and the coupons appertaining thereto shall not be valid until the Trustee or Authenticating Agent manually signs the certificate of
authentication on the Security or on the Security to which such coupon appertains by an authorized signatory. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security or the Security to which the coupon appertains has been authenticated under
this Indenture. 
 At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities
of any series having attached thereto appropriate coupons, if any, executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication together with the applicable documents referred to below in this Section, and the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and
deliver such Securities to or upon the written order of the Company. In authenticating any Securities of a series, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive prior to the authentication of any Securities of such series, and (subject to Article 7)
shall be fully protected in relying upon, unless and until such documents have been superseded or revoked: 
 (a) any Board Resolution and
Officers’ Certificate or executed supplemental indenture referred to in Sections 2.01 and 2.03 by or pursuant to which the forms and terms of the Securities of that series were established; 

(b) an Officers’ Certificate stating that the form or forms and terms of the Securities of such series have been, or, in the case of a
Periodic Offering, will be when established in accordance with such procedures as shall be referred to therein, established in compliance with this Indenture; and 

(c) an Opinion of Counsel substantially to the effect that the form or forms and terms of the Securities of such series have been, or, in the
case of a Periodic Offering, will be when established in accordance with such procedures as shall be referred to therein, established in compliance with this Indenture and that the supplemental indenture, to the extent applicable, and Securities
have been duly authorized and, if executed and authenticated in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and delivered to and duly paid for by the purchasers thereof on the date of such opinion, would be entitled to the benefits of the
Indenture and would be valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium and other similar laws
affecting creditors’ rights generally, general principles of equity, and covering such other matters as shall be specified therein and as shall be reasonably requested by the Trustee.

 The Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Securities if the issue of such Securities
pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. 

Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 2.01 and 2.02, if, in connection with a Periodic Offering, all Securities of a series are not to be
originally issued at one time, it shall be necessary to deliver the Board Resolution required pursuant to Section 2.01 and the written order, Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel required pursuant to Section 2.02 at or prior
to the authentication of each Security of such series. 
 With respect to Securities of a series offered in a Periodic Offering, the Trustee
may rely, as to the authorization by the Company of any of such Securities, the forms and terms thereof and the legality, validity, binding effect and enforceability thereof, upon the Opinion of Counsel and the other documents delivered pursuant to
Sections 2.01 and 2.02, as applicable, in connection with the first authentication of Securities of such series. 
 If the Company shall
establish pursuant to Section 2.03 that the Securities of a series or a portion thereof are to be issued in the form of one or more Registered Global Securities, then the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver one
or more Registered Global Securities that (i) shall represent and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of all of the Securities of such series issued in such form and not yet cancelled, (ii) shall be
registered in the name of the Depositary for such Registered Global Security or Securities or the nominee of such Depositary, (iii) shall be delivered by the Trustee to such Depositary or its custodian or pursuant to such Depositary’s
instructions and (iv) shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect: 
 “THIS SECURITY IS A REGISTERED GLOBAL SECURITY
WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE INDENTURE HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AND IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CEDE & CO., AS NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY, A NEW YORK CORPORATION (THE “DEPOSITARY”), THE DEPOSITARY OR ANOTHER NOMINEE OF
THE DEPOSITARY. THIS REGISTERED GLOBAL SECURITY IS EXCHANGEABLE FOR SECURITIES REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF A PERSON OTHER THAN THE DEPOSITARY OR ITS NOMINEE ONLY IN THE LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES DESCRIBED IN THE INDENTURE AND NO TRANSFER OF THIS SECURITY
(OTHER THAN A TRANSFER OF THIS SECURITY AS A WHOLE BY THE DEPOSITARY TO A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY TO THE DEPOSITARY OR ANOTHER NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY) MAY BE REGISTERED EXCEPT IN LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES. 

UNLESS THIS REGISTERED GLOBAL SECURITY IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITARY FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE
OR PAYMENT, AND ANY SECURITY ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CEDE & CO. OR SUCH OTHER NAME AS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITARY (AND ANY PAYMENT HEREON IS MADE TO CEDE & CO. OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS
IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITARY), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL SINCE THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., THE DEPOSITARY OR ANOTHER
NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN.” 
 Section 2.03 Amount Unlimited; Issuable in Series. The aggregate
principal amount of Securities which may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is unlimited. 
 The Securities may be issued
in one or more series. There shall be established in or pursuant to Board Resolution and set forth in an Officers’ Certificate or established in one or more indentures supplemental hereto, prior to the initial issuance of Securities of any
series, subject to the last sentence of the penultimate paragraph of this Section 2.03, 
 (a) the designation of the Securities of the
series, which shall distinguish the Securities of the series from the Securities of all other series; 

  
 6 








 (b) any limit upon the aggregate principal amount of the Securities of the series that may be
authenticated and delivered under this Indenture and any limitation on the ability of the Company to increase such aggregate principal amount after the initial issuance of the Securities of that series (except for Securities authenticated and
delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, or upon redemption of, other Securities of the series pursuant hereto); 

(c) the date or dates on which the principal of the Securities of the series is payable (which date or dates may be fixed, deferred or
extendible); 
 (d) the rate or rates (which may be fixed or variable) per annum at which the Securities of the series shall bear interest,
if any, the date or dates from which such interest shall accrue, on which such interest shall be payable and (in the case of Registered Securities) on which a record shall be taken for the determination of Holders to whom interest is payable, the
circumstances and periods, if any, in which or during which the Company may or shall defer the payment of interest on the Securities and/or the method by which such rate or rates or date or dates shall be determined; 

(e) if other than as provided in Section 4.02, the place or places where the principal of and any interest on Securities of the series
shall be payable, any Registered Securities of the series may be surrendered for exchange, notices, demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of the series and this Indenture may be served and notice to Holders may be published;

 (f) the right, if any, of the Company to redeem Securities of the series, in whole or in part, at its option and the period or periods

(g) the obligation, if any, of the Company to redeem, purchase or repay Securities of the series pursuant to any mandatory redemption, sinking
fund or analogous provisions or at the option of a Holder thereof and the price or prices at which and the period or periods within which and any of the terms and conditions upon which Securities of the series shall be redeemed, purchased or repaid,
in whole or in part, pursuant to such obligation; 
 (h) if other than denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof, the

 (i) if other than the principal amount thereof, the portion of the
principal amount of Securities of the series which shall be payable upon declaration of acceleration of the maturity thereof; 
 (j) if

of and/or interest on the Securities of the series may be determined with reference to an index based on a coin or currency other than that in which the Securities of the series are denominated, the manner in which such amounts shall be determined;

 (k) if other than the currency of the United States of America, the currency or currencies, including composite currencies, in which
payment of the Principal of and interest on the Securities of the series shall be payable, and the manner in which any such currencies shall be valued against other currencies in which any other Securities shall be payable; 

(l) whether the Securities of the series or any portion thereof will be issuable as Registered Securities (and if so, whether such Securities
will be issuable as Registered Global Securities) or Unregistered Securities (with or without coupons) (and if so, whether such Securities will be issued in temporary or permanent global form), or any combination of the foregoing, any restrictions
applicable to the offer, sale or delivery of Unregistered Securities or the payment of interest thereon and, if other than as provided herein, the terms upon which Unregistered Securities of any series may be exchanged for Registered Securities of
such series and vice versa; 
 (m) whether and under what circumstances the Company will pay additional amounts on the Securities of the
series held by a person who is not a U.S. person in respect of any tax, assessment or governmental charge withheld or deducted and, if so, whether the Company will have the option to redeem such Securities rather than pay such additional amounts;


  
 7 








 (n) if the Securities of the series are to be issuable in definitive form (whether upon original
issue or upon exchange of a temporary Security of such series) only upon receipt of certain certificates or other documents or satisfaction of other conditions, the form and terms of such certificates, documents or conditions; 

(o) any trustees, depositaries, authenticating or paying agents, transfer agents or the registrar or any other agents with respect to the
Securities of the series; 
 (p) provisions, if any, for the defeasance of the Securities of the series (including provisions permitting
defeasance of fewer than all Securities of the series), which provisions may be in addition to, in substitution for, or in modification of (or any combination of the foregoing) the provisions of Article 8; 

(q) if the Securities of the series are issuable in whole or in part as one or more Registered Global Securities or Unregistered Securities in
global form, the identity of the Depositary or common Depositary for such Registered Global Security or Securities or Unregistered Securities in global form; 

(r) any other Events of Default or covenants with respect to the Securities of the series; and 

(s) any other terms of the Securities of the series (which terms shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture). 

All Securities of any one series and coupons, if any, appertaining thereto shall be substantially identical, except in the case of Registered
Securities as to date and denomination, except in the case of any Periodic Offering and except as may otherwise be provided by or pursuant to the Board Resolution referred to above or as set forth in any such indenture supplemental hereto. 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 such Board Resolution or in any such indenture supplemental hereto
and any forms and terms of Securities to be issued from time to time may be completed and established from time to time prior to the issuance thereof by procedures described in such Board Resolution or supplemental indenture. 

Unless otherwise expressly provided with respect to a series of Securities, the aggregate principal amount of a series of Securities may be
increased and additional Securities of such series may be issued up to the maximum aggregate principal amount authorized with respect to such series as increased. 

Section 2.04 Denomination and Date of Securities; Payments of Interest. The Securities of each series shall be issuable as
Registered Securities or Unregistered Securities in denominations established as contemplated by Section 2.03 or, if not so established with respect to Securities of any series, in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. The
Securities of each series shall be numbered, lettered or otherwise distinguished in such manner or in accordance with such plan as the Officers of the Company executing the same may determine, as evidenced by their execution thereof. 

Unless otherwise specified with respect to a series of Securities, each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. The Securities
of each series shall bear interest, if any, from the date, and such interest and shall be payable on the dates, established as contemplated by Section 2.03. 

The person in whose name any Registered Security of any series is registered at the close of business on any record date applicable to a
particular series with respect to any interest payment date for such series shall be entitled to receive the interest, if any, payable on such interest payment date notwithstanding any transfer or exchange of such Registered Security subsequent to
the record date and prior to such interest payment date, except if and to the extent the Company shall default in the payment of the interest due on such interest payment date for such series, in which case the provisions of Section 2.13 shall
apply. The term “record date” as used with respect to any interest payment date (except a date for payment of defaulted interest) for the Securities of any series shall mean the date specified as such in the terms of the Registered
Securities of such series established as contemplated by Section 2.03, or, if no such date is so established, the fifteenth day next preceding such interest payment date, whether or not such record date is a Business Day.

 Section 2.05 Registrar and Paying Agent; Agents Generally. The Company shall maintain
an office or agency where Securities may be presented for registration, registration of transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”) and an office or agency where Securities may be presented for payment (the “Paying Agent”), which
shall be in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York or in St. Paul, Minnesota. The Company shall cause the Registrar to keep a register of the Registered Securities and of their registration, transfer and exchange (the “Security
Register”). The Company may have one or more additional Paying Agents or transfer agents with respect to any series. 
 The Company
shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Agent not a party to this Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act that relate to such Agent. The Company shall give prompt
written notice to the Trustee of the name and address of any Agent and any change in the name or address of an Agent. If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company may remove any Agent upon
written notice to such Agent and the Trustee; provided that no such removal shall become effective until (i) the acceptance of an appointment by a successor Agent to such Agent as evidenced by an appropriate agency agreement entered into by the
Company and such successor Agent and delivered to the Trustee or (ii) notification to the Trustee that the Trustee shall serve as such Agent until the appointment of a successor Agent in accordance with clause (i) of this proviso. The
Company or any Affiliate of the Company may act as Paying Agent or Registrar; provided that neither the Company nor an Affiliate of the Company shall act as Paying Agent in connection with the defeasance of the Securities or the discharge of this
Indenture under Article 8. 
 The Company initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar, Paying Agent and Authenticating Agent. If, at any
time, the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Registrar shall make available to the Trustee ten days prior to each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may reasonably request the names and addresses of the Holders as they
appear in the Security Register. 
 Section 2.06 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. Not later than 10:00 a.m. New York City
time on each due date or, in the case of Unregistered Securities, 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the Business Day prior to the due date, of any Principal or interest on any Securities, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent money in
immediately available funds sufficient to pay such Principal or interest. The Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that such Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders of such
Securities or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of Principal of and interest on such Securities and shall promptly notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment. The Company at any time may
require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and account for any funds disbursed, and the Trustee may at any time during the continuance of any payment default, upon written request to a Paying Agent, require such Paying Agent
to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed. Upon doing so, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money so paid over to the Trustee. If the Company or any Affiliate of the Company acts as
Paying Agent, it will, on or before each due date of any Principal of or interest on any Securities, segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders thereof a sum of money sufficient to pay such Principal or interest so
becoming due until such sum of money shall be paid to such Holders or otherwise disposed of as provided in this Indenture, and will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of its action or failure to act as required by this Section. 

Section 2.07 Transfer and Exchange. Unregistered Securities (except for any temporary global Unregistered Securities) and coupons
(except for coupons attached to any temporary global Unregistered Securities) shall be transferable by delivery. 
 At the option of the
Holder thereof, Registered Securities of any series (other than a Registered Global Security, except as set forth below) may be exchanged for a Registered Security or Registered Securities of such series and tenor having authorized denominations and
an equal aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of such Registered Securities to be exchanged at the agency of the Company that shall be maintained for such purpose in accordance with Section 2.05 and upon payment, if the Company shall so
require, of the charges hereinafter 

  
 9 








 
provided. If the Securities of any series are issued in both registered and unregistered form, except as otherwise established pursuant to Section 2.03, at the option of the Holder thereof,
Unregistered Securities of any series may be exchanged for Registered Securities of such series and tenor having authorized denominations and an equal aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of such Unregistered Securities to be exchanged at the
agency of the Company that shall be maintained for such purpose in accordance with Section 4.02, with, in the case of Unregistered Securities that have coupons attached, all unmatured coupons and all matured coupons in default thereto
appertaining, and upon payment, if the Company shall so require, of the charges hereinafter provided. At the option of the Holder thereof, if Unregistered Securities of any series, maturity date, interest rate and Original Issue Date are issued in
more than one authorized denomination, except as otherwise established pursuant to Section 2.03, such Unregistered Securities may be exchanged for Unregistered Securities of such series and tenor having authorized denominations and an equal
aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of such Unregistered Securities to be exchanged at the agency of the Company that shall be maintained for such purpose in accordance with Section 4.02, with, in the case of Unregistered Securities that
have coupons attached, all unmatured coupons and all matured coupons in default thereto appertaining, and upon payment, if the Company shall so require, of the charges hereinafter provided. Registered Securities of any series may not be exchanged
for Unregistered Securities of such series. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to
receive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Unregistered Security will not be delivered in exchange for a Registered Security or Securities unless the Trustee receives a certificate signed by the Person entitled to delivery of such Security or other
items or documents fulfilling such conditions as shall be required by regulations of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, or shall be notified by the Company that such a certificate shall not be required by such regulations; provided, however, that
no such Unregistered Security shall be delivered by the Trustee if the Trustee or such agent shall have, or shall have been notified in writing by the Company that the Company has, actual knowledge that such certificate is false. 

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Registered Security of a series at the agency of the Company that shall be maintained for
that purpose in accordance with Section 2.05 and upon payment, if the Company shall so require, of the charges hereinafter provided, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated
transferee or transferees, one or more new Registered Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount. 

All Registered Securities presented for registration of transfer, exchange, redemption or payment shall be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied
by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the holder or his attorney duly authorized in writing. 

The Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
exchange or registration of transfer of Securities. No service charge shall be made for any such transaction. 
 Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Section 2.07, unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Securities in definitive registered form, a Registered Global Security representing all or a portion of the Securities of a series may not be transferred
except as a whole by the Depositary for such series to a nominee of such Depositary or by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or by such Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary for
such series or a nominee of such successor Depositary. 
 If at any time the Depositary for any Registered Global Securities of any series
notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Registered Global Securities or if at any time the Depositary for such Registered Global Securities shall no longer be eligible under applicable law, the Company
shall appoint a successor Depositary eligible under applicable law with respect to such Registered Global Securities. If a successor Depositary eligible under applicable law for such Registered Global Securities is not appointed by the Company
within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of the Company’s order for the authentication and delivery of definitive Registered Securities
of such series and tenor, will authenticate and deliver Registered Securities of such series and tenor, in any authorized denominations, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Registered Global Securities, in exchange
for such Registered Global Securities. 

  
 10 








 The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion and subject to the procedures of the
Depositary determine that any Registered Global Securities of any series shall no longer be maintained in global form. In such event the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of the Company’s order for the authentication and
delivery of definitive Registered Securities of such series and tenor, will authenticate and deliver, Registered Securities of such series and tenor in any authorized denominations, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of
such Registered Global Securities, in exchange for such Registered Global Securities. 
 Any time the Registered Securities of any series
are not in the form of Registered Global Securities pursuant to the preceding two paragraphs, the Company agrees to supply the Trustee with a reasonable supply of certificated Registered Securities without the legend required by Section 2.02
and the Trustee agrees to hold such Registered Securities in safekeeping until authenticated and delivered pursuant to the terms of this Indenture. 

If established by the Company pursuant to Section 2.03 with respect to any Registered Global Security, the Depositary for such Registered
Global Security may surrender such Registered Global Security in exchange in whole or in part for Registered Securities of the same series and tenor in definitive registered form on such terms as are acceptable to the Company and such Depositary.
Thereupon, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, without service charge, 
 (a) to the Person specified
by such Depositary new Registered Securities of the same series and tenor, of any authorized denominations as requested by such Person, in an aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for such Person’s beneficial interest in the
Registered Global Security; and 
 (b) to such Depositary a new Registered Global Security in a denomination equal to the difference, if
any, between the principal amount of the surrendered Registered Global Security and the aggregate principal amount of Registered Securities authenticated and delivered pursuant to clause (a) above. 

Registered Securities issued in exchange for a Registered Global Security pursuant to this Section 2.07 shall be registered in such names
and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary for such Registered Global Security, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee or an agent of the Company or the Trustee. The
Trustee or such agent shall deliver such Securities to or as directed by the Persons in whose names such Securities are so registered. 

All Securities issued upon any transfer or exchange of Securities shall be valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and
entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such transfer or exchange. 
 Notwithstanding
anything herein or in the forms or terms of any Securities to the contrary, none of the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be required to exchange any Unregistered Security for a Registered Security if such
exchange would result in adverse Federal income tax consequences to the Company (such as, for example, the inability of the Company to deduct from its income, as computed for Federal income tax purposes, the interest payable on the Unregistered
Securities) under then applicable United States Federal income tax laws. The Trustee and any such agent shall be entitled to rely on an Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel in determining such result. 

The Registrar shall not be required (i) to issue, authenticate, register the transfer of or exchange Securities of any series for a
period of 15 days before a selection of such Securities to be redeemed or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security selected for redemption in whole or in part. 

Section 2.08 Replacement Securities. If any mutilated Security or a Security with a mutilated coupon appertaining to it is
surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for such mutilated Security or in exchange for the Security to which a mutilated coupon appertains, a new Security of the same series
and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, with coupons corresponding to the coupons, if any, appertaining to such mutilated Security or to the Security to which such mutilated coupon appertains.


  
 11 








 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 or coupon and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of any of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or
the Trustee that such Security or coupon has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security or in exchange for the Security to
which a destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertains (with all appurtenant coupons not destroyed, lost or stolen), a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, with
coupons corresponding to the coupons, if any, appertaining to such destroyed, lost or stolen Security or to the Security to which such destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertains. 

In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security or coupon has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its
discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security or coupon (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Security or coupon) if the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the Company and the Trustee such
security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of any of them harmless, and in the case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee and any agent of them of the
destruction, loss or theft of such Security and the ownership thereof; provided, however, that the Principal of and any interest on Unregistered Securities shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 4.02, be payable only at an office or
agency located outside the United States. 
 Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the Company may require 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, with its coupons, if any, issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security
or in exchange for any mutilated Security, or in exchange for a Security to which a mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertains, shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Security and its coupons, if any, or the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen coupon shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and any such new Security and coupons, if any, shall be entitled to all the benefits of this
Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of that series and their coupons, if any, duly issued hereunder. 

The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) any other rights and remedies with respect to the
replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities or coupons. 
 Section 2.09 Outstanding Securities.
Securities outstanding at any time are all Securities that have been authenticated by the Trustee except for those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those described in this Section as not outstanding and those that have been
defeased pursuant to Section 8.05. 
 If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08, it ceases to be outstanding unless and
until the Trustee and the Company receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Security is held by a holder in due course. 
 If the
Paying Agent (other than the Company or an Affiliate of the Company) holds on the maturity date or any redemption date or date for repurchase of the Securities money sufficient to pay Securities payable or to be redeemed or repurchased on that date,
then on and after that date such Securities cease to be outstanding and interest on them shall cease to accrue. 
 A Security does not cease
to be outstanding because the Company or one of its Affiliates holds such Security, provided, however, that, in determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of the outstanding Securities have given any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, Securities owned by the Company or any Affiliate of the Company shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding, except that, in determining whether the Trustee shall be protected
in relying upon any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver, only Securities as to which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has received written notice to be so owned shall be so disregarded. Any Securities so
owned which are pledged by the Company, or by any Affiliate of the Company, as security for loans or other obligations, otherwise than to another such Affiliate of the Company, shall be deemed to be outstanding, if the pledgee is entitled pursuant
to the terms of its pledge agreement and is free to exercise in its or his discretion the right to vote such securities, uncontrolled by the Company or by any such Affiliate. 

  
 12 








 Section 2.10 Temporary Securities. Until definitive Securities of any series are
ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and execute and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities of such series. Temporary Securities of any series shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities of such series but may
have insertions, substitutions, omissions and other variations determined to be appropriate by the Officers executing the temporary Securities, as evidenced by their execution of such temporary Securities, with the concurrence of the Trustee. If
temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities of such series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the temporary Securities of such
series shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities of such series and tenor upon surrender of such temporary Securities at the office or agency of the Company designated for such purpose pursuant to Section 4.02, without charge to the
Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any series the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Securities of such
series and tenor and authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of any series shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series. 

Section 2.11 Cancellation. The Company at any time may deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously
authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold. The
Registrar, any transfer agent and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee shall cancel and dispose of in accordance with its customary procedures all Securities
surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation and shall deliver a certificate of disposition to the Company. The Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities it has paid in full or delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation. 
 Section 2.12 CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” and
“ISIN” numbers (if then generally in use), and the Trustee shall use CUSIP numbers or ISIN numbers, as the case may be, in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders and no representation shall be made as to the
correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of redemption or exchange. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the “CUSIP,” “ISIN” or any similar numbers.

 Section 2.13 Defaulted Interest. If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Registered Securities, it shall pay,
or shall deposit with the Paying Agent money in immediately available funds sufficient to pay, the defaulted interest plus (to the extent lawful) any interest payable on the defaulted interest (as may be specified in the terms thereof, established
pursuant to Section 2.03) to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, which shall mean the 15th day next preceding the date fixed by the Company for the payment of defaulted interest, whether or not such day is a
Business Day. At least 15 days before such special record date, the Company shall mail to each Holder of such Registered Securities and to the Trustee a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted
interest to be paid. 
 Section 2.14 Series May Include Tranches. A series of Securities may include one or more tranches (each
a “tranche”) of Securities, including Securities issued in a Periodic Offering. The Securities of different tranches may have one or more different terms, including authentication dates and public offering prices, but all the Securities
within each such tranche shall have identical terms, other than authentication date, public offering price and interest accrued prior to the applicable issue date. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, with respect to Sections 2.02
(other than the fourth, sixth and seventh paragraphs thereof) through 2.04, 2.07, 2.08, 2.10, 3.01 through 3.04, 4.02, 6.01 through 6.10, 8.01 through 8.07, 9.02 and Section 10.07, if any series of Securities includes more than one tranche, all
provisions of such sections applicable to any series of Securities shall be deemed equally applicable to each tranche of any series of Securities in the same manner as though originally designated a series unless otherwise provided with respect to
such series or tranche pursuant to Section 2.03. In particular, and without limiting the scope of the next preceding sentence, any of the provisions of such sections which provide for or permit action to be taken with respect to a series of
Securities shall also be deemed to 

  
 13 








 
provide for and permit such action to be taken instead only with respect to Securities of one or more tranches within that series (and such provisions shall be deemed satisfied thereby), even if
no comparable action is taken with respect to Securities in the remaining tranches of that series. 
 ARTICLE III 

REDEMPTION  

Section 3.01 Applicability of Article. The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to the Securities of any series which
are redeemable before their maturity or to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of a series except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.03 for Securities of such series. 

Section 3.02 Notice of Redemption; Partial Redemptions. Notice of redemption to the Holders of Registered Securities of any series
to be redeemed as a whole or in part at the option of the Company shall be given by mailing notice of such redemption by first class mail, postage prepaid, at least 30 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption to such
Holders of Registered Securities of such series at their last addresses as they shall appear upon the registry books. Notice of redemption to the Holders of Unregistered Securities of any series to be redeemed as a whole or in part who have filed
their names and addresses with the Trustee pursuant to Section 313(c)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act, shall be given by mailing notice of such redemption, by first class mail, postage prepaid, at least 30 days and not more than 60 days prior to
the date fixed for redemption, to such Holders at such addresses as were so furnished to the Trustee (and, in the case of any such notice given by the Company, the Trustee shall make such information available to the Company for such purpose).
Notice of redemption to all other Holders of Unregistered Securities of any series to be redeemed as a whole or in part shall be published in an Authorized Newspaper in The City of New York once in each of three successive calendar weeks, the first
publication to be not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. Any notice which is mailed or published in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the
Holder receives the notice. Failure to give notice by mail, or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Security of a series designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of
any other Security of such series. 
 The notice of redemption to each such Holder shall specify the CUSIP numbers of the Securities, if
applicable, to be redeemed, the date fixed for redemption, the redemption price, or if not then ascertainable, the manner of calculation thereof, the place or places of payment, that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of such
Securities and, in the case of Securities with coupons attached thereto, of all coupons appertaining thereto maturing after the date fixed for redemption, that such redemption is pursuant to the mandatory or optional sinking fund, or both, if such
be the case, that interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption will be paid as specified in such notice and that on and after said date interest thereon or on the portions thereof to be redeemed will cease to accrue. In case any Security of a
series is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and shall state that on and after the date fixed for redemption, upon surrender of such Security, a new Security
or Securities of such series and tenor in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued. 
 The notice of
redemption of Securities of any series to be redeemed at the option of the Company shall be given by the Company or, at the Company’s request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company; provided, however, that the Company has
delivered to the Trustee, at least 45 days (unless a shorter period shall be acceptable to the Trustee) prior to the date fixed for redemption, a written request that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in
such notice. 
 On or before 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the redemption date or, in the case of Unregistered Securities, on or before
10:00 a.m. New York City time on the Business Day prior to the redemption date specified in the notice of redemption given as provided in this Section, the Company will deposit with the Trustee or with one or more Paying Agents (or, if the Company
is acting as its own Paying Agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 2.06) an amount of money sufficient to redeem on the redemption date all the Securities of such series so called for redemption at the appropriate
redemption price, together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption. If all of the outstanding Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the Company will deliver to 

  
 14 








 
the Trustee at least 10 days prior to the last date on which notice of redemption may be given to Holders pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 3.02 (or such shorter period as
shall be acceptable to the Trustee) an Officers’ Certificate stating that all such Securities are to be redeemed. If fewer than all the outstanding Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the Company will deliver to the Trustee at least 15
days prior to the last date on which notice of redemption may be given to Holders pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 3.02 (or such shorter period as shall be acceptable to the Trustee) an Officers’ Certificate stating the
aggregate principal amount of such Securities to be redeemed. In the case of any redemption of Securities (a) prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture,
or (b) pursuant to an election of the Company which is subject to a condition specified in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee, prior to the giving of any notice of redemption to
Holders pursuant to this Section, an Officers’ Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction or condition. 
 If fewer than
all the Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select, pro rata, by lot or in such manner as it shall deem appropriate and fair, Securities of such series to be redeemed in whole or in part. Securities may be redeemed in part
in principal amounts equal to authorized denominations for Securities of such series. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Securities of such series selected for redemption and, in the case of any Securities of such series
selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate, in the case of any
Security redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Security which has been or is to be redeemed. 

Section 3.03 Payment of Securities Called for Redemption. If notice of redemption has been given as above provided, the Securities
or portions of Securities specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the date and at the place stated in such notice at the applicable redemption price, together with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption, and on and after
such date interest on the Securities or portions of Securities so called for redemption shall cease to accrue (unless the Company shall default in the payment of such Securities at the redemption price, together with interest accrued to such date),
and the unmatured coupons, if any, appertaining thereto shall be void and, except as provided in Section 8.02, such Securities shall cease from and after the date fixed for redemption to be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture, and the
Holders thereof shall have no right in respect of such Securities except the right to receive the redemption price thereof and unpaid interest to the date fixed for redemption. On presentation and surrender of such Securities at a place of payment
specified in said notice, together with all coupons, if any, appertaining thereto maturing after the date fixed for redemption, said Securities or the specified portions thereof shall be paid and redeemed by the Company at the applicable redemption
price, together with interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption; provided that payment of interest becoming due on or prior to the date fixed for redemption shall be payable in the case of Securities with coupons attached thereto, to
the Holders of the coupons for such interest upon surrender thereof, and in the case of Registered Securities, to the Holders of such Registered Securities registered as such on the relevant record date subject to the terms and provisions of
Sections 2.04 and 2.13 hereof. 
 If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the
principal shall, until paid or duly provided for, bear interest from the date fixed for redemption at the rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the case of an Original Issue Discount Security) borne by such Security. 

If any Security with coupons attached thereto is surrendered for redemption and is not accompanied by all appurtenant coupons maturing after
the date fixed for redemption, the surrender of such missing coupon or coupons may be waived by the Company and the Trustee, if there be furnished to each of them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them harmless. 

Upon presentation of any Security of any series redeemed in part only, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver to or on the order of the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Security or Securities of such series and tenor (with any unmatured coupons attached), of authorized denominations, in principal amount equal to the unredeemed
portion of the Security so presented. 
 Section 3.04 Exclusion of Certain Securities from Eligibility for Selection for
Redemption. Securities shall be excluded from eligibility for selection for redemption if they are identified by registration and certificate number in a written statement signed by an authorized officer of the Company and delivered to the


  
 15 








 
Trustee at least 40 days prior to the last date on which notice of redemption may be given as being owned of record and beneficially by, and not pledged or hypothecated by, either (a) the
Company or (b) an entity specifically identified in such written statement as directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company. 

ARTICLE IV 

COVENANTS  

Section 4.01 Payment of Securities. The Company shall pay the Principal of and interest on the Securities on the dates and in the
manner provided in the Securities and this Indenture. The interest on Securities with coupons attached (together with any additional amounts payable pursuant to the terms of such Securities) shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of
the several coupons for such interest installments as are evidenced thereby as they severally mature. The interest on any temporary Unregistered Securities (together with any additional amounts payable pursuant to the terms of such Securities) shall
be paid, as to the installments of interest evidenced by coupons attached thereto, if any, only upon presentation and surrender thereof, and, as to the other installments of interest, if any, only upon presentation of such Unregistered Securities
for notation thereon of the payment of such interest. The interest on Registered Securities (together with any additional amounts payable pursuant to the terms of such Securities) shall be payable only to the Holders thereof (subject to
Section 2.04) and at the option of the Company may be paid by mailing checks for such interest payable to or upon the written order of such Holders at their last addresses as they appear on the Security Register of the Company. 

Notwithstanding any provisions of this Indenture and the Securities of any series to the contrary, if the Company and a Holder of any
Registered Security so agree, payments of interest on, and any portion of the Principal of, such Holder’s Registered Security (other than interest payable at maturity or on any redemption or repayment date or the final payment of Principal on
such Security) shall be made by the Paying Agent, upon receipt from the Company of immediately available funds by 10:00 A.M., New York City time (or such other time as may be agreed to between the Company and the Paying Agent), directly to the
Holder of such Security (by Federal funds wire transfer or otherwise) if the Holder has delivered written instructions to the Trustee 15 days prior to such payment date requesting that such payment will be so made and designating the bank account to
which such payments shall be so made and in the case of payments of Principal, surrenders the same to the Trustee in exchange for a Security or Securities aggregating the same principal amount as the unredeemed principal amount of the Securities
surrendered. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the last instruction delivered by the Holder pursuant to this Section 4.01 unless a new instruction is delivered 15 days prior to a payment date. The Company will indemnify and hold each of
the Trustee and any Paying Agent harmless against any loss, liability or expense (including attorneys’ fees) resulting from any act or omission to act on the part of the Company or any such Holder in connection with any such agreement or from
making any payment in accordance with any such agreement. 
 The Company shall pay interest on overdue Principal, and interest on overdue
installments of interest, to the extent lawful, at the rate per annum specified in the Securities. 
 Section 4.02 Maintenance of
Office or Agency. The Company will maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or St. Paul, Minnesota, an office or agency where Securities may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange or for presentation for
payment and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities and this Indenture may be served. The Company hereby initially designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, located in St. Paul, Minnesota, as
such office or agency of the Company. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or
agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the address of the Trustee set forth in Section 10.02. 

The Company will maintain one or more agencies in a city or cities located outside the United States (including any city in which such an
agency is required to be maintained under the rules of any stock exchange on which the Securities of any series are listed) where the Unregistered Securities, if any, of each series and coupons, if any, appertaining thereto may be presented for
payment. No payment on any Unregistered Security or coupon will 

  
 16 








 
be made upon presentation of such Unregistered Security or coupon at an agency of the Company within the United States nor will any payment be made by transfer to an account in, or by mail to an
address in, the United States unless, pursuant to applicable United States laws and regulations then in effect, such payment can be made without adverse tax consequences to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if full payment in United States
Dollars (“Dollars”) at each agency maintained by the Company outside the United States for payment on such Unregistered Securities or coupons appertaining thereto is illegal or effectively precluded by exchange controls or other similar
restrictions, payments in Dollars of Unregistered Securities of any series and coupons appertaining thereto which are payable in Dollars may be made at an agency of the Company maintained in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or
St. Paul, Minnesota. 
 The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Securities of
any series may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an
office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or St. Paul, Minnesota, 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 location of
any such other office or agency. 
 Section 4.03 Securityholders’ Lists. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company
will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee a list in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the holders of the Securities pursuant to Section 312 of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939
(a) semi-annually not more than 15 days after each record date for the payment of semi-annual interest on the Securities, as hereinabove specified, as of such record date, and (b) at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing,
within thirty days after receipt by the Company of any such request as of a date not more than 15 days prior to the time such information is furnished. 

Section 4.04 Certificate to Trustee. The Company will furnish to the Trustee annually, on or before a date not more than four
months after the end of its fiscal year (which, on the date hereof, is a calendar year), a brief certificate (which need not contain the statements required by Section 10.04) from its principal executive, financial or accounting officer as to
his or her knowledge of the compliance of the Company with all conditions and covenants under this Indenture (such compliance to be determined without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided under this Indenture) which
certificate shall comply with the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act. 
 Section 4.05 Reports by the Company. The Company
covenants to file with the Trustee, within 15 days after the Company files the same with the Commission, copies of the annual reports and of the information, documents, and other reports which the Company may be required to file with the Commission
pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act. All required information, documents and other reports referred to in this Section 4.05 shall be deemed filed with the Trustee and transmitted to the Holders at the time such
information, documents or other reports are publicly filed with the Commission via the Commission’s EDGAR filing system (or any successor system). 

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 or certificates delivered pursuant to Section 4.04). 
 Section 4.06 Additional
Amounts. If the Securities of a series provide for the payment of additional amounts, at least 10 days prior to the first interest payment date with respect to that series of Securities and at least 10 days prior to each date of payment of
Principal of or interest on the Securities of that series if there has been a change with respect to the matters set forth in the below-mentioned Officers’ Certificate, the Company shall furnish to the
Trustee and the principal Paying Agent, if other than the Trustee, an Officers’ Certificate instructing the Trustee and such Paying Agent whether such payment of Principal of or interest on the Securities of that series shall be made to Holders
of the Securities of that series without withholding or deduction for or on account of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge described in the Securities of that series. If any such 

  
 17 








 
withholding or deduction shall be required, then such Officers’ Certificate shall specify by country the amount, if any, required to be withheld or deducted on such payments to such Holders
and shall certify the fact that additional amounts will be payable and the amounts so payable to each Holder, and the Company shall pay to the Trustee or such Paying Agent the additional amounts required to be paid by this Section 4.06. The
Company covenants to indemnify the Trustee and any Paying Agent for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense reasonably incurred without gross negligence or bad faith on their part arising out of or in connection with
actions taken or omitted by any of them in reliance on any Officers’ Certificate furnished pursuant to this Section or in the event the Trustee shall not withhold or deduct any sums as a result of the non-receipt of such an Officers’
Certificate. 
 Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of the Principal of or interest or any other
amounts on, or in respect of, any Security of any series, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of additional amounts provided by the terms of such series established hereby or pursuant hereto to the extent that, in such
context, additional amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to such terms, and express mention of the payment of additional amounts (if applicable) in any provision hereof shall not be construed as excluding the payment of
additional amounts in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made. 
 Section 4.07 Calculation of Original Issue
Discount. If applicable, the Company shall file with the Trustee promptly after the end of each calendar year (i) written notice specifying the amount of original issue discount (including daily rates and accrual periods) accrued on
outstanding Original Issue Discount Securities as of the end of such year and (ii) such other specific information relating to such original issue discount as may be required to be provided to the Trustee or to the holders of the Securities
pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations issued thereunder.

 ARTICLE VI 

REMEDIES OF THE TRUSTEE AND SECURITYHOLDERS ON EVENT OF DEFAULT  

Section 6.01 Events of Default. 

“Event of Default”, when used herein with respect to the Securities of any series, means any one of the following events
(whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or
governmental body): 
 (a) failure to pay any interest upon the Securities of any series as and when it becomes due and payable, which
default continues for a period of 30 days; 
 (b) failure to pay the Principal of any of the Securities as and when it becomes due and
payable; 
 (c) failure on the part of the Company duly to observe or perform any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the
Company in the Securities of such series or in this Indenture with respect to any Security of such series, and continuance of such failure for a period of 90 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the Company to
remedy the same, shall have been given to the Company by the Trustee, or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series at the time outstanding; 

(d) a court having jurisdiction in the premises shall enter a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in an involuntary case
under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) of the Company or for any substantial part of its
property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs and such decree or order shall remain unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; 

(e) the Company shall commence a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect,
or shall consent to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any such law, or shall consent to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator (or similar official)
of the Company or for any substantial part of its property, or shall make any general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall fail generally to pay its debts as they become due or shall take any corporate action in furtherance of any of
the foregoing; or 
 (f) any other Event of Default established pursuant to Section 2.03 with respect to the Securities of such series
occurs. 
 Section 6.02 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. 

(a) If an Event of Default other than as described in clause (d) or (e) of Section 6.01 occurs and is continuing, then and in
each such case either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any such series then outstanding hereunder (each such series treated as a separate class), by notice in writing to the Company
(and to the Trustee if given by Securityholders), may declare the principal amount (or, if the Securities of any such series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of such series
established pursuant to Section 2.03) of all Securities of such series to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable. 

(b) If any Event of Default described in clause (d) or (e) of Section 6.01 occurs and is continuing, then and in each such
case, the principal amount (or, if the Securities of any such series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of such series established pursuant to Section 2.03) of all
Securities of such series shall be and become immediately due and payable, without any notice or other action by the Trustee or any Holder, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. 

  
 19 








 The foregoing provisions of this Section 6.02, however, are subject to the condition that,
at any time after such a declaration of acceleration pursuant to Section 6.02(a) or an acceleration pursuant to Section 6.02(b), and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the money due shall have been obtained or entered as
hereinafter provided, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series then outstanding, by written notice to the Company and to the Trustee, may waive all defaults and rescind and annul such declaration or
acceleration and its consequences, if: 
  

	 	(i)	the Company shall pay or shall deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay: 

  

	 	(A)	all matured installments of interest on all the Securities of such series (with interest on overdue installments of interest (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) at the rate
borne by the Securities of such series (or Yield to Maturity, in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities) to the date of such payment or deposit); 

  

	 	(B)	all Principal on any Securities of such series that has become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest on such Principal) at the rate borne by the Securities of such series (or Yield to Maturity, in the case
of Original Issue Discount Securities) to the date of such payment on deposit); and 

  

	 	(C)	all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and 


 

	 	(ii)	any and all defaults with respect to Securities of such series under this Indenture, other than the nonpayment of Principal and accrued interest on Securities on such series that shall have become due by acceleration,
shall have been cured or waived as provided in Section 6.08. 

 No such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend
or shall affect any subsequent default or shall impair any right consequent thereon. 
 For all purposes under this Indenture, if a portion
of the principal of any Original Issue Discount Securities shall have been accelerated and declared or become due and payable pursuant to the provisions hereof, then, from and after such declaration, unless such declaration has been rescinded and
annulled, the principal amount of such Original Issue Discount Securities shall be deemed, for all purposes hereunder, to be such portion of the principal thereof as shall be due and payable as a result of such acceleration, and payment of such
portion of the principal thereof as shall be due and payable as a result of such acceleration, together with interest, if any, thereon and all other amounts owing thereunder, shall constitute payment in full of such Original Issue Discount
Securities. 
 In case the Trustee or any Securityholder shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture and such proceedings
shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of such rescission or annulment or for any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee or any Securityholder, then and in every such case the Company, the Trustee and such
Securityholders, subject to any determination in such proceeding, shall be restored respectively to their several positions and rights under this Indenture, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Company, the Trustee and such Securityholders
shall continue as though no such proceeding had been taken. 
 Section 6.03 Payment of Securities on Default; Suit Therefor.

 (a) In case default shall be made in the payment of (i) any installment of interest upon any Securities of any series as and when the
same shall become due and payable (after giving effect to any deferral period applicable to the Securities of such series established pursuant to Section 2.03(d)), and such default shall have continued for a period of 30 days, or (ii) the
principal of any of the Securities of such series as and when the same shall have become due and payable, by declaration as authorized by this Indenture or otherwise, then, upon demand of the Trustee, the Company will pay to the Trustee, for the
benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such series, the whole amount that then shall have become due and payable on all such Securities for Principal or interest, or any combination thereof, as the case may be, with interest upon the portion of
the overdue Principal that consists of principal and (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) upon the overdue 

  
 20 








 
installments of interest, at the rate borne by the Securities of such series or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities); and, in addition, such further amount as
shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agent, attorneys and counsel. 

(b) In case the Company shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express
trust, shall be entitled and empowered to institute any actions or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute any such action or proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any
such judgment or final decree against the Company or any other obligor on the Securities of any series and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor on the Securities of such series, wherever
situated, the money adjudged or decreed to be payable. 
 (c) In case there shall be pending proceedings for the bankruptcy or for the
reorganization of the Company or any other obligor on the Securities of any series under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable law, or in case a receiver or trustee shall have been appointed for the property of the Company or
such other obligor, or in the case of any other similar judicial proceedings relative to the Company or other obligor on the Securities of such series, or to the creditors or property of the Company or such other obligor, the Trustee, irrespective
of whether the principal of the Securities of such series shall then be due and payable as expressed in the Securities of such series or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 6.03, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise, to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of Principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities
of such series, and, in case of any judicial proceedings, (i) to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and reimbursement of all other expenses and liabilities incurred by the Trustee) and of the Securityholders allowed in such judicial proceedings relative to
the Company or any other obligor on the Securities of such series, its or their creditors, or its or their property, and (ii) to collect and receive any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute the
same after the deduction of its charges and expenses; and any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization is hereby authorized by each of the Securityholders to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee
shall consent to the making of such payment directly to the Securityholders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and its counsel and any other amounts
due the Trustee under Section 7.07. To the extent that such payment of reasonable compensation, expenses and counsel fees out of the trust estate in any such proceedings 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 property which the Holders of the Securities of such series may be entitled to receive in such proceedings, whether in liquidation or under any plan
of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. 
 (d) Nothing contained in this Section 6.03 shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee
to authorize or consent to or adopt on behalf of any Securityholder any plan of reorganization or arrangement affecting the Securities of any series or the rights of any Securityholder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of
any Securityholder in any such proceeding. 
 (e) All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the
Securities of any series, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities of such series, or the production thereof in any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and any such suit or proceeding instituted by the
Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, shall
be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such series. 
 Section 6.04 Application of Money Collected by
Trustee. Any money collected by the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series pursuant to Section 6.03 shall be applied in the following order, 

  
 21 








 
at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee for the distribution of such money, upon presentation of the Securities of such series and stamping thereon the payment, if only partially paid, and upon
surrender thereof if fully paid: 
 FIRST: to the payment of costs and expenses applicable to such Securities in respect of
which moneys have been collected, including reasonable compensation to the Trustee its agents and counsel and of all expenses and liabilities incurred, including the costs and expenses of collection, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each
predecessor Trustee and all amounts then due the Trustee under Section 7.07; 
 SECOND: in case the principal of the
outstanding Securities of such series shall not have become due and shall be unpaid, to the payment of interest on the Securities of such series in the order of the maturity of the installments of such interest, with interest (to the extent
enforceable under applicable law) upon the overdue installments of interest at the rate borne by the Securities of such series or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities), such payments to be made ratably to the persons
entitled thereto; 
 THIRD: in case the principal of the outstanding Securities of such series shall have become due, by
declaration or otherwise, to the payment of the whole amount then owing and unpaid upon the Securities of such series for Principal and interest, with interest on the portion of the overdue Principal that consists of principal and (to the extent
enforceable under applicable law) upon overdue installments of interest at the rate borne by the Securities of such series or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities); and in case such money shall be insufficient to pay
in full the whole amount so due and unpaid upon the Securities of such series, then to the payment of such Principal and interest without preference or priority of Principal over interest or Yield to Maturity, or of interest or Yield to Maturity
over Principal, or of any installment of interest over any other installment of interest, or of any Security of such series over any other Security of such series, ratably to the aggregate of such Principal and accrued and unpaid interest or Yield
to Maturity; and 
 FOURTH: to the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Company or such party as a court of competent
jurisdiction shall direct. 
 Section 6.05 Proceedings by Securityholders. No Holder of any Security of any series shall have
any right to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy under this Indenture, unless such Holder previously
shall have given to the Trustee written notice of default and of the continuance thereof, as provided in Section 6.01, and unless also (i) the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series then
outstanding shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee under this Indenture and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable security or indemnity as the Trustee may
require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request, (ii) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity shall have neglected or refused to institute any
such action, suit or proceeding and (iii) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of
the outstanding Securities of such series; it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by each Person who acquires and holds a Security of any series with every other such Person, that no one or more Holders of Securities of any
series shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holder of Securities, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or
preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner provided in this Section 6.05 and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Holders of Securities. 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, however, the right of any Holder of any Security of any series to receive payment of
the Principal and interest on such Security on or after the respective due dates, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates against the Company, shall not be impaired or affected without the
consent of such Holder. 
 Section 6.06 Proceedings by Trustee. In case of an Event of Default under this Indenture, the Trustee
in its discretion may proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Securityholders by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, either by suit in equity
or by action at law or by proceeding in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the 

  
 22 








 
specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Indenture, or to enforce any other proper remedy or legal or
equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law. 
 Section 6.07 Remedies Cumulative and Continuing; Delay or
Omission Not Waiver. All rights, powers and remedies conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Securityholders, to the extent permitted by law, shall be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any thereof or of any other rights, powers
and remedies available to the Trustee or the Holders of the Securities of any series, now or hereafter existing, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the covenants and agreements contained in this
Indenture; and no delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any of the Securities of any series to exercise any such right, power or remedy shall impair any such right, power or remedy, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any default
or an acquiescence in such default; and subject to the provisions of Section 6.05, every power and remedy conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or the Securityholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed
expedient, by the Trustee or by the Securityholders. The assertion of any right, power or remedy shall not prevent the concurrent assertion of any other right, power or remedy. 

Section 6.08 Direction of Proceedings and Waiver of Defaults by Majority of Securityholders. 

(a) The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount (or, if the Securities are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the
principal as is then accelerable under Section 6.01) of the Securities of any series affected (voting as one class) at the time outstanding determined in accordance with Section 2.09 shall have the right to direct the time, method and
place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series; provided, however, that (i) such direction may not be in
conflict with law or this Indenture or expose the Trustee to personal liability or be unduly prejudicial to the Holders of Securities not joining in the direction, and (ii) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that
is not inconsistent with this Indenture and such direction. 
 (b) Prior to any declaration that the principal of the outstanding Securities
of any series affected is due and payable, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount (or, if the Securities are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal as is then accelerable under Section 6.01) of the
Securities of such series at the time outstanding on behalf of the Holders of all of the Securities of such series may waive any past default or Event of Default under this Indenture and its consequences except a default under a covenant or
provision in this Indenture that, pursuant to Section 9.02, cannot be modified without the consent of each Holder of a Security of such series affected thereby. Upon any such waiver, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities of
such series shall be restored to their former positions and rights under this Indenture, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. Whenever any
default or Event of Default under this Indenture shall have been waived as permitted by this Section 6.08(b), such default or Event of Default, for all purposes of the Securities of such series and this Indenture, shall be deemed to have been
cured and to be not continuing. 
 Section 6.09 Notice of Defaults. The Trustee, within 90 days after the occurrence of a
default with respect to Securities of any series, shall mail to all Securityholders of Securities of such series, at their addresses shown on the Security Register, notice of all such defaults known to the Trustee, unless such defaults shall have
been cured or waived before the giving of such notice; provided that, except in the case of default in the payment of the Principal or interest on any of the Securities of such series, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and
so long as the board of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of directors and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Securityholders. 

The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice or be charged with knowledge of any default or Event of Default unless written notice of such
default or Event of Default from the Company or any Holder actually is received by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Securities and this Indenture. 

  
 23 








 Section 6.10 Undertaking to Pay Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each
Holder of any Security of any series by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court in its discretion may require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the
Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit and that such court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable
attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 6.10 shall not apply to
any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Securityholder, or group of Securityholders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such series, or to any suit instituted by any
Securityholder for the enforcement of the payment of the Principal or interest on any Security of such series on or after their respective due dates. 

ARTICLE VII 
 TRUSTEE

 Section 7.01 Certain Duties and Responsibilities. 

(a) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are
specifically set forth in this Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. 

(b) In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the
opinions expressed therein, upon Officers’ Certificates or Opinions of Counsel furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such Officers’ Certificates or Opinions of Counsel which
by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or
investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts, statements, opinions or conclusions stated therein). 
 (c) In case an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under
the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs. 
 (d) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee
from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that: 
  

	 	(i)	this subsection (d) shall not be construed to limit the effect of the other subsections of this Section 7.01; 

  

	 	(ii)	the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and 


 

	 	(iii)	the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities
of any series, determined as provided herein, relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture with respect
to the Securities of such series. 

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

  
 24 








 (f) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to
the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 7.01. 

(g) The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Company.
Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 (h) The Trustee shall
not be responsible for the application of any money by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee. 
 Section 7.02 Certain Rights of
Trustee. Subject to Trust Indenture Act Sections 315(a) through (d): 
 (a) The Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be protected in
acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, Officers’ Certificate, Opinion of Counsel (or both), statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of
indebtedness or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person or persons. 

(b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’ Certificate and/or an Opinion of Counsel, which shall
conform to Section 10.04 and shall cover such other matters as the Trustee may reasonably request. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such certificate or opinion. Subject to
Sections 7.01 and 7.02, whenever in the administration of the trusts of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering or omitting any action hereunder, such matter
(unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an Officers’ Certificate delivered to
the Trustee, and such certificate, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith
thereof. 
 (c) The Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents not regularly in its employ and shall not be responsible for the
misconduct or negligence of any agent or attorney appointed with due care. 
 (d) Any request, direction, order or demand of the Company
mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed); and any Board Resolution may be evidenced to the Trustee by a copy thereof certified by
the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company. 
 (e) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or
powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the Holders, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that might be incurred
by it in compliance with such request or direction. 
 (f) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good
faith that it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers or for any action it takes or omits to take in accordance with the direction of the Holders in accordance with Section 6.08(a) relating to the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture. 

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

  
 25 








 (h) Subject to Section 6.05, the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into
the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, Officers’ Certificate, Opinion of Counsel (or both), statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of
indebtedness or other paper or document unless requested in writing to do so by the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all series affected then outstanding; provided that, if the payment within a
reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms
of this Indenture, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such expenses or liabilities as a condition to proceeding. The reasonable expenses of every such investigation shall be paid by the Company or, if paid by the Trustee shall be
repaid by the Company upon demand. 
 (i) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any default or Event of Default (other than any
Event of Default under Section 6.01(a) or 6.01(b)) unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of such default or Event of Default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of
the Trustee. 
 (j) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its
right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder. 

Section 7.03 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 its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee is subject to Trust Indenture Act Sections 310(b)
and 311. For purposes of Trust Indenture Act Section 311(b)(4) and (6), the following terms shall mean: 
 (a) “cash
transaction” means any transaction in which full payment for goods or securities sold is made within seven days after delivery of the goods or securities in currency or in checks or other orders drawn upon banks or bankers and payable upon
demand; and 
 (b) “self-liquidating paper” means any draft, bill of exchange, acceptance or obligation which is made, drawn,
negotiated or incurred by the Company for the purpose of financing the purchase, processing, manufacturing, shipment, storage or sale of goods, wares or merchandise and which is secured by documents evidencing title to, possession of, or a lien
upon, the goods, wares or merchandise or the receivables or proceeds arising from the sale of the goods, wares or merchandise previously constituting the security, provided the security is received by the Trustee simultaneously with the creation of
the creditor relationship with the Company arising from the making, drawing, negotiating or incurring of the draft, bill of exchange, acceptance or obligation. 

Section 7.04 Trustee’s Disclaimer. The recitals contained herein and in the Securities (except the Trustee’s certificate
of authentication) shall be taken as statements of the Company and not of the Trustee and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same. Neither the Trustee nor any of its agents (a) makes any representation as to the
validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Securities and (b) shall be accountable for the Company’s use or application of the proceeds from the Securities. 

Section 7.05 [Intentionally Omitted] .  

Section 7.06 Reports by Trustee to Holders. The Trustee shall transmit to Holders such reports concerning the Trustee and its
actions under this Indenture as may be required pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act at the times specified therein. If required by Section 313(a) of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall, within 60 days after May 31 of each year
commencing with the year following the first issuance of Securities pursuant to Section 2.03, transmit a brief report dated as of such May 31, which complies with the provisions of such Section 313(a). The Trustee also shall comply
with Trust Indenture Act §§ 313(b), 313(c) and 313(d). 

  
 26 








 A copy of each such report shall, at the time of such transmission, be filed by the Trustee with
each stock exchange upon which any Securities are listed, with the Commission and with the Company. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee when any Securities are listed on any stock exchange. 

Section 7.07 Compensation and Indemnity. The Company shall pay to the Trustee such compensation as shall be agreed upon in writing
from time to time for its services. The compensation of the Trustee shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a Trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee upon request for all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances (including reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel) incurred or made by the Trustee or such predecessor Trustee. Such expenses shall include the
reasonable compensation and expenses of the Trustee’s or such predecessor Trustee’s agents, counsel and other persons not regularly in their employ. 

The Company shall indemnify the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents for, and
hold them harmless against, any loss or liability or expense incurred by them without negligence or bad faith on their part arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this Indenture and the Securities or the issuance of
the Securities or of series thereof or the trusts hereunder and the performance of duties under this Indenture and the Securities, including the costs and expenses of defending themselves against or investigating any claim or liability and of
complying with any process served upon them or any of their officers in connection with the exercise or performance of any of their powers or duties under this Indenture and the Securities. 

To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities on all money
or property held or collected by the Trustee, in its capacity as Trustee, except money or property held in trust to pay Principal of, and interest on particular Securities. 

The obligations of the Company under this Section to compensate and indemnify the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee and to pay or reimburse
the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder and shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the rejection or termination of this Indenture
under bankruptcy law or the resignation or removal of the Trustee. Such additional indebtedness shall be a senior claim to that of the Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for
the benefit of the Holders of particular Securities or coupons, and the Securities are hereby subordinated to such senior claim. Without prejudice to any other rights available to the Trustee under applicable law, if the Trustee renders services and
incurs expenses (including reasonable charges and expenses of its counsel) following an Event of Default set forth in Section 6.01(d) or (e), the parties hereto and the holders by their acceptance of the Securities hereby agree that such
expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any bankruptcy law. 
 Section 7.08 Replacement of Trustee.
A resignation or removal of the Trustee as Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series and appointment of a successor Trustee as Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall become effective only upon the successor
Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.08. 
 The Trustee may resign as Trustee with respect to the
Securities of any series at any time by so notifying the Company in writing. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any series may remove the Trustee as Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series by
so notifying the Trustee in writing and may appoint a successor Trustee with respect thereto with the consent of the Company. The Company may remove the Trustee as Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series if: (i) the Trustee is no
longer eligible under Section 7.11 of this Indenture; (ii) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent; (iii) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or (iv) the Trustee becomes
incapable of acting. 
 If the Trustee resigns or is removed as Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series, or if a vacancy exists
in the office of Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series for any reason, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee with respect thereto. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such series may appoint a successor Trustee in respect of such Securities to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If the successor


  
 27 








 
Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series does not deliver its written acceptance required by Section 7.09 within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the
retiring Trustee, the Company or the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such series may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect thereto. 

The Company shall give notice of any resignation and any removal of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series and each
appointment of a successor Trustee in respect of the Securities of such series to all Holders of Securities of such series. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office. 

Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series pursuant to this Section 7.08 and
Section 7.09, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 

Section 7.09 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to
all Securities, every such successor Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee
shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company or the successor Trustee,
such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges and subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.07, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee
and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder. 
 In
case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall
execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (1) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each
successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring
with respect to all Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to
which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and (3) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the
trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts
hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to
the extent provided therein, such retiring Trustee shall have no further responsibility for the exercise of rights and powers or for the performance of the duties and obligations vested in the Trustee under this Indenture with respect to the
Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates other than as hereafter expressly set forth, and each such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the
rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the Company or any successor Trustee and upon payment of
its charges, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of
such successor Trustee relates, subject to its lien, if any, provided for in Section 7.07. 
 Upon request of any such successor
Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in the first or second preceding paragraph, as the case may
be. 
 No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be eligible
under this Article and qualified under Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act. 

  
 28 








 Section 7.10 Successor Trustee by Merger, Etc. If the Trustee consolidates with,
merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation or national banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation or national banking association without any
further act shall be the successor Trustee with the same effect as if the successor Trustee had been named as the Trustee herein. 

Section 7.11 Eligibility. This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of Trust Indenture Act
Section 310(a). The Trustee shall 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 same shall have become due and payable, or (b) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee for cancellation all Securities of any series theretofore authenticated (other than any Securities of such series which shall have been

availability of cash, or a combination thereof, sufficient to pay at maturity or, if applicable, upon redemption all Securities of such series (other than any Securities of such series which shall have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which shall
have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.08) not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, including principal and interest due or to become due on or prior to such date of maturity or redemption as the case may be, and
if, in any such case, the Company shall also pay or cause to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company with respect to Securities of such series, then this Indenture shall cease to be of further effect with respect to Securities of

discharging this Indenture with respect to such series; provided, that the rights of Holders of the Securities to receive amounts in respect of Principal of and interest on the Securities held by them shall not be delayed longer than required by
then-applicable mandatory rules or policies of any securities exchange upon which the Securities are listed. The Company agrees to reimburse the Trustee for any costs or expenses thereafter reasonably and properly incurred and to compensate the
Trustee for any services thereafter reasonably and properly rendered by the Trustee in connection with this Indenture or the Securities of such series.

Holder of the Security of such series shall, unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of applicable escheat or abandoned or unclaimed property laws, thereafter look only to the Company for any payment which such Holder may be entitled to
collect, and all liability of the Trustee or any Paying Agent with respect to such moneys shall thereupon cease.

authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article until such
time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such monies or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Article 8; provided, however, that if the Company has made any payment of Principal of 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 monies or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

SUPPLEMENTS AND WAIVERS  
 Section 9.01 Without Consent of Holders. The Company and the Trustee may amend or
supplement this Indenture or the Securities of any series without notice to or the consent of any Holder: 
 (a) to cure any ambiguity,
defect or inconsistency in this Indenture; provided that such amendment or supplement shall not materially and adversely affect the interests of the Holders; 

(b) to evidence the succession of another Person to the Company and the assumption by any such successor of the covenants of the Company
contained in this Indenture and the Securities pursuant to the obligations set forth in Article 5; 

  
 32 








 (c) to comply with any requirements of the Commission in connection with the qualification of
this Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act; 
 (d) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder with respect to the
Securities of any or all series by a successor Trustee and to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, pursuant
to the requirements of Section 7.09; 
 (e) to establish the form or forms or terms of Securities of any series or of the coupons
appertaining to such Securities as permitted by Section 2.03; 
 (f) to provide for uncertificated or Unregistered Securities and to
make all appropriate changes for such purpose; 
 (g) to add to the covenants for the benefit of Holders of Securities or to surrender any
right or power conferred upon the Company in this Indenture, provided that such action shall not adversely affect the interests of Holders of Securities; 

(h) to add any Events of Default with respect to all or any series of the Securities; 

(i) to delete or modify any Events of Default with respect to all or any series of the Securities, the form and terms of which are being
established pursuant to such supplemental indenture as permitted in Sections 2.01, 2.02 and 2.03 (and, if any such Event of Default is applicable to fewer than all such series of the Securities, specifying the series to which such Event of Default
is applicable) and to specify the rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders of such Securities in connection therewith; 
 (j) to
secure the Securities; 
 (k) to establish the form of any Securities and to provide for the issuance of any series of Securities under this
Indenture and to set forth the terms thereof; and 
 (l) to make any change that does not materially and adversely affect the rights of any
Holder. 
 After an amendment or supplement under this Section 9.01 becomes effective, the Company shall give to the Holders affected
thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment or supplement. The Company will mail supplemental indentures to Holders upon request. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or
affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture. 
 Section 9.02 With Consent of Holders. Subject to Sections 6.05 and
6.08(b), without prior notice to any Holders, the Company and the Trustee may amend this Indenture and the Securities of any series with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of each
series affected by such amendment (voting as a separate class), and the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any series affected thereby (voting as a separate class) by written notice to the Trustee may waive
future compliance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture or the Securities of such series. 
 Notwithstanding the provisions of
this Section 9.02, without the consent of each Holder affected thereby, an amendment or waiver, including a waiver pursuant to Section 6.08(b), may not: 

(a) change the stated maturity of the Principal of, or any sinking fund obligation or any installment of interest on, such Holder’s
Security; 
 (b) reduce the Principal amount thereof or the rate of interest thereon (including any amount in respect of original issue
discount); 
 (c) reduce the above stated percentage of outstanding Securities the consent of whose holders is necessary to modify or amend
the Indenture with respect to the Securities of the relevant series; 

  
 33 








 (d) reduce the percentage in principal amount of outstanding Securities of the relevant series
the consent of whose Holders is required for any supplemental indenture or for any waiver of compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture or certain defaults and their consequences provided for in this Indenture; or 

(e) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to the Securities. 

A supplemental indenture which changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Indenture which has expressly been included
solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Securities, or which modifies the rights of Holders of Securities of such series with respect to such covenant or provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture of
the Holders of Securities of any other series or of the coupons appertaining to such Securities. 
 It shall not be necessary for the
consent of any Holder under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 

After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company shall give to the Holders affected
thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. The Company will mail supplemental indentures to Holders upon request. Any failure of the Company to mail 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 9.03 Revocation and Effect of Consent.
Until an amendment or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder 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 Security of the consenting
Holder, 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 its Security or portion of its Security. Such revocation shall be effective only if the Trustee receives
the notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver shall become effective with respect to any Securities affected thereby on receipt by the Trustee of written consents
from the requisite Holders of outstanding Securities affected thereby. 
 The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date
(which may be not less than five nor more than 60 days prior to the solicitation of consents) for the purpose of determining the Holders of the Securities of any series affected entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver. If a record
date is fixed, then, notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were such Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies) and only those Persons shall be entitled to consent to such amendment, supplement or
waiver or to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be such Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such record date. 

After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective with respect to the Securities of any series affected thereby, it shall bind every
Holder of such Securities unless it is of the type described in any of clauses (a) through (d) of Section 9.02. In case of an amendment or waiver of the type described in clauses (a) through (d) of Section 9.02, the
amendment or waiver shall bind each such Holder who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Security that evidences the same indebtedness as the Security of the consenting Holder. 

Section 9.04 Notation on or Exchange of Securities. If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of any Security, the
Trustee may require the Holder thereof to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Security about the changed terms and return it to the Holder and the Trustee may place an appropriate notation on any Security
of such series thereafter authenticated. Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee so determines, the Company in exchange for the Security shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Security of the same series and tenor that reflects
the changed terms. 

  
 34 








 Section 9.05 Trustee to Sign Amendments, Etc. As a condition to executing or
accepting additional trusts created by any supplemental indenture permitted hereunder or the modification thereby of any trust created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an
Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article 9 is authorized or permitted by this Indenture, stating that all requisite consents have been obtained or that no consents are
required and stating that such supplemental indenture constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions. The Trustee may, but shall not
be obligated to, execute any such amendment, supplement or waiver that affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise 

Section 9.06 Conformity with Trust Indenture Act. Every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article 9 shall conform
to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect.

of any such communication or notice to a Holder shall also be mailed to the Trustee and each Agent at the same time. 
 Failure to mail a
notice or communication to a Holder or any defect in it shall not affect its sufficiency with respect to other Holders. Except as otherwise provided in this Indenture, if a notice or communication is mailed in the manner provided in this
Section 10.02, it is duly given, whether or not the addressee receives it. 

  
 35 








 Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by
the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to
the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver. 
 In case it shall be impracticable to give notice as herein contemplated,
then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.

Holder of any Unregistered Security and the Holder of any coupon as the absolute owner of such Unregistered Security or coupon (whether or not such Unregistered Security or coupon shall be overdue) for the purpose of receiving payment thereof or on
account thereof and for all other purposes, and neither the Company, the Trustee, nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. The fact of the holding by any Holder of an Unregistered Security, and the
identifying number of such Security and the date of his holding the same, may be proved by the production of such Security or by a certificate executed by any trust company, bank, banker or recognized securities dealer wherever situated satisfactory
to the Trustee, if such certificate shall be deemed by the Trustee to be satisfactory. Each such certificate shall be dated and shall state that on the date thereof a Security bearing a specified identifying number was deposited with or exhibited to
such trust company, bank, banker or recognized securities dealer by the person named in such certificate. Any such certificate may be issued in respect of one or more Unregistered Securities specified therein. The holding by the person named in any
such certificate of any Unregistered Securities specified therein shall be presumed to continue for a period of one year from the date of such certificate unless at the time of any determination of such holding (a) another certificate bearing a
later date issued in respect of the same Securities shall be produced or (b) the Security specified in such certificate shall be produced by some other Person, or (c) the Security specified in such certificate shall have ceased to be
outstanding. Subject to Article 7, the fact and date of the execution of any such instrument and the amount and numbers of Securities held by the Person so executing such instrument may also be proven in accordance with such reasonable rules and
regulations as may be prescribed by the Trustee or in any other manner which the Trustee may deem sufficient. 

  
 36 








 The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may deem and treat the
person in whose name any Registered Security shall be registered upon the Security Register for such series as the absolute owner of such Registered Security (whether or not such Registered Security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation
of ownership or other writing thereon) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the Principal of and, subject to the provisions of this Indenture, interest on such Registered Security and for all other purposes; and neither the
Company nor the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

Holders. The Paying Agent or Registrar may make reasonable rules for its functions. 
 Section 10.07 Payment Date Other Than a
Business Day. Except as otherwise provided with respect to a series of Securities, if any date for payment of Principal or interest on any Security shall not be a Business Day at any place of payment, then payment of Principal of or interest on
such Security, as the case may be, need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at any place of payment with the same force and effect as if made on such date and no interest shall accrue in respect of such
payment for the period from and after such date. 
 Section 10.08 Governing Law; Waiver of Trial by Jury. THIS INDENTURE AND
EACH SECURITY, AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO THIS INDENTURE AND EACH SECURITY, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAWS
PROVISIONS THEREOF). EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE TRUSTEE, AND EACH HOLDER OF A SECURITY BY ITS ACCEPTANCE THEREOF, HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY
