whether any of the Company’s direct or indirect Subsidiaries will guarantee the Securities of that Series, including
the terms of subordination, if any, of such guarantees.


 


All Securities of any
one Series need not be issued at the same time and may be issued from time to time, consistent with the terms of this Indenture,
if so provided by or pursuant to the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officer’s Certificate referred to
above.


 


Section 2.3.        
Execution and Authentication.


 


Two Officers shall sign
the Securities for the Company by manual or facsimile signature.


 


If an Officer whose signature
is on a Security no longer holds that office at the time the Security is authenticated, the Security shall nevertheless be valid.


 


A Security shall not
be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent. The signature shall be conclusive
evidence that the Security has been authenticated under this Indenture.


 






    8


     


    

 


The Trustee shall at
any time, and from time to time, authenticate Securities for original issue in the principal amount provided in the Board Resolution,
supplemental indenture hereto or Officer’s Certificate, upon receipt by the Trustee of a Company Order. Each Security shall
be dated the date of its authentication.


 


The aggregate principal
amount of Securities of any Series outstanding at any time may not exceed any limit upon the maximum principal amount for such
Series set forth in the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officer’s Certificate delivered pursuant to Section
2.2, except as provided in Section 2.8.


 


Prior to the issuance
of Securities of any Series, the Trustee shall have received and (subject to Section 7.2) shall be fully protected in conclusively
relying on: (a) the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officer’s Certificate delivered pursuant to Section
2.2 establishing the form of the Securities of that Series or of Securities within that Series and the terms of the Securities
of that Series or of Securities within that Series, (b) an Officer’s Certificate complying with Section 10.4, and (c) an
Opinion of Counsel complying with Section 10.4.


 


The Trustee shall have
the right, but not the obligation, to decline to authenticate and deliver any Securities of such Series: (a) if the Trustee, being
advised by counsel, determines that such action may not be taken lawfully; or (b) if the Trustee in good faith determines that
such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability to Holders of any then outstanding Series of Securities.


 


The Trustee may appoint
an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Securities. An authenticating agent may authenticate Securities
whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such
agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with the Company or an Affiliate of the Company.


 


Section 2.4.        
Registrar and Paying Agent.


 


The Company shall maintain,
with respect to each Series of Securities, at the place or places specified with respect to such Series pursuant to Section 2.2,
an office or agency where Securities of such Series may be presented or surrendered for payment (“Paying Agent”),
where Securities of such Series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange (“Registrar”) and
where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of such Series and this Indenture may be delivered
(“Notice Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register with respect to each Series of Securities and to their
transfer and exchange. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the name and address, and any change in the
name or address, of each Registrar, Paying Agent or Notice Agent. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required
Registrar, Paying Agent or Notice Agent or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the name and address thereof, such presentations,
surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints
the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.


 






    9


     


    

 


The Company may also
from time to time designate one or more co-registrars, additional paying agents or additional notice agents and may from time to
time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve
the Company of its obligations to maintain a Registrar, Paying Agent and Notice Agent in each place so specified pursuant to Section
2.2 for Securities of any Series for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation
or rescission and of any change in the name or address of any such co-registrar, additional paying agent or additional notice agent.
The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar; the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional
paying agent; and the term “Notice Agent” includes any additional notice agent. The Company or any of its Affiliates
may serve as Registrar or Paying Agent.


 


The Company hereby appoints
the Trustee as the initial Registrar, Paying Agent and Notice Agent for each Series unless another Registrar, Paying Agent or Notice
Agent, as the case may be, is appointed prior to the time Securities of that Series are first issued.


 


Section 2.5.        
Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.


 


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


 


Section 2.6.        
Securityholder Lists.


 


The Trustee shall preserve
in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Securityholders
of each Series of Securities and shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company
shall furnish to the Trustee at least ten days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may request
in writing a list, in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of Securityholders
of each Series of Securities.


 


Section 2.7.        
Transfer and Exchange.


 


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


 






    10


     


    

 


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


 


Section 2.8.        
Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.


 


If any mutilated Security
is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a
new Security of the same Series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


Every new Security of
any Series issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional
contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by
anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities
of that Series duly issued hereunder.


 






    11


     


    

 


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


 


Section 2.9.        
Outstanding Securities.


 


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


 


If a Security is replaced
pursuant to Section 2.8, it ceases to be outstanding until the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Security
is held by a bona fide purchaser.


 


If the Paying Agent (other
than the Company, a Subsidiary of the Company or an Affiliate of the Company) holds on the Maturity of Securities of a Series money
sufficient to pay such Securities payable on that date, then on and after that date such Securities of the Series cease to be outstanding
and interest on them ceases to accrue.


 


The Company may purchase
or otherwise acquire the Securities, whether by open market purchases, negotiated transactions or otherwise. A Security does not
cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Security.


 


In determining whether
the Holders of the requisite principal amount of outstanding Securities have given any request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent or waiver hereunder, the principal amount of a Discount Security that shall be deemed to be outstanding for such
purposes shall be the amount of the principal thereof that would be due and payable as of the date of such determination upon a
declaration of acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 6.2.


 


Section 2.10.    
Treasury Securities.


 


In determining whether
the Holders of the required principal amount of Securities of a Series have concurred in any request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent or waiver, Securities of a Series owned by the Company or any Affiliate of the Company shall be disregarded, except
that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in conclusively relying on any such request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver, only Securities of a Series that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually
knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Securities so owned which have been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded
if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right to deliver any such request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent or waiver with respect to the Securities and that the pledgee is not the Company or any other obligor
upon the Securities or any Affiliate of the Company or of such other obligor.


 






    12


     


    

 


Section 2.11.    
Temporary Securities.


 


Until definitive Securities
are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities upon a Company Order. Temporary
Securities shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate
for temporary Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee upon receipt of a Company Order
shall authenticate definitive Securities of the same Series and date of maturity in exchange for temporary Securities. Until so
exchanged, temporary securities shall have the same rights under this Indenture as the definitive Securities.


 


Section 2.12.    
Cancellation.


 


The Company at any time
may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent, if not the Trustee, shall forward to
the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee shall cancel all
Securities surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment, replacement, conversion or cancellation and shall dispose of such canceled
Securities (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act and the Trustee) in accordance with its customary procedures
and deliver a certificate of such cancellation to the Company upon written request of the Company. The Company may not issue new
Securities to replace Securities that it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.


 


Section 2.13.    
Defaulted Interest.


 


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


 


Section 2.14.    
Global Securities.


 


2.14.1.         
Terms of Securities. A Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officer’s Certificate shall
establish whether the Securities of a Series shall be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Securities and
the Depositary for such Global Security or Securities.


 


2.14.2.         
Transfer and Exchange. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained in Section 2.7 of the Indenture and
in addition thereto, any Global Security shall be exchangeable pursuant to Section 2.7 of the Indenture for Securities registered
in the names of Holders other than the Depositary for such Security or its nominee only if (i) such Depositary notifies the Company
that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or if at any time such Depositary ceases to be
a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and, in either case, the Company fails to appoint a successor Depositary registered
as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act within 90 days of such event or (ii) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee
an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that such Global Security shall be so exchangeable. Any Global Security that is exchangeable
pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be exchangeable for Securities registered in such names as the Depositary shall direct
in writing in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security with like tenor and terms.


 






    13


     


    

 


Except as provided in
this Section 2.14.2, a Global Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary with respect to such Global Security
to a nominee of such Depositary, by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or by
the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such a successor Depositary.


 


2.14.3.         
Legend. Any Global Security issued hereunder shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:


 


“This Security
is a Global Security within the meaning of the Indenture hereinafter referred to and is registered in the name of the Depositary
or a nominee of the Depositary. This 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 may not be transferred except as a
whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of
the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such a successor Depositary.”


 


2.14.4.         
Acts of Holders. The Depositary, as a Holder, may appoint agents and otherwise authorize participants to give or
take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action which a Holder is entitled to give
or take under the Indenture.


 


2.14.5.         
Payments. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Indenture, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section
2.2, payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on any Global Security shall be made to the Holder thereof.


 


2.14.6.         
Consents, Declaration and Directions. The Company, the Trustee and any Agent shall treat a person as the Holder of
such principal amount of outstanding Securities of such Series represented by a Global Security as shall be specified in a written
statement of the Depositary or by the applicable procedures of such Depositary with respect to such Global Security, for purposes
of obtaining any consents, declarations, waivers or directions required to be given by the Holders pursuant to this Indenture.


 


Section 2.15.    
CUSIP Numbers.


 


The Company in issuing
the Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP”
numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation
is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption
and that reliance may be placed only on the other elements of identification printed on the Securities, and any such redemption
shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Trustee shall have no liability for any defect in the “CUSIP”
numbers as they appear on any Security, notice or elsewhere. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change
in the “CUSIP” numbers.

REDEMPTION


 


Section 3.1.        
Notice to Trustee.


 


The Company may, with
respect to any Series of Securities, reserve the right to redeem and pay the Series of Securities or may covenant to redeem and
pay the Series of Securities or any part thereof prior to the Stated Maturity thereof at such time and on such terms as provided
for in such Securities. If a Series of Securities is redeemable and the Company wants or is obligated to redeem prior to the Stated
Maturity thereof all or part of the Series of Securities pursuant to the terms of such Securities, it shall notify the Trustee
in writing of the redemption date and the principal amount of Series of Securities to be redeemed. The Company shall give the notice
to the Trustee at least 15 days before the redemption date, unless a shorter period is satisfactory to the Trustee.


 


Section 3.2.        
Selection of Securities to be Redeemed.


 


Unless otherwise indicated
for a particular Series by a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officer’s Certificate, if less than
all the Securities of a Series are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Securities of the Series to be redeemed in any
manner that the Trustee deems fair and appropriate, including selecting pro rata, by lot or other method, unless otherwise
required by law or applicable stock exchange requirements, subject, in the case of Global Securities, to the applicable rules and
procedures of the Depositary. The Trustee shall make the selection from Securities of the Series outstanding not previously called
for redemption. The Trustee may select for redemption portions of the principal of Securities of the Series that have denominations
larger than $2,000. Securities of the Series and portions of them it selects shall be in amounts of $2,000 or integral multiples
of $1,000 in excess thereof or, with respect to Securities of any Series issuable in other denominations pursuant to Section 2.2.10,
the minimum principal denomination for each Series and the authorized integral multiples thereof. Provisions of this Indenture
that apply to Securities of a Series called for redemption also apply to portions of Securities of that Series called for redemption.


 


Section 3.3.        
Notice of Redemption.


 


Unless otherwise indicated
for a particular Series by Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officer’s Certificate, at least 15 days
but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Company shall mail a notice of redemption by first-class mail to each Holder
whose Securities are to be redeemed.


 


The notice shall identify
the Securities of the Series to be redeemed and shall state:


 


(a)         the redemption date;


 






    15


     


    

 


(b)        the redemption price;


 


(c)        the name and address of the Paying Agent and, if applicable, the conversion Agent;


 


(d)        for convertible Securities, the conversion price;


 


(e)        if any Securities are being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Securities to be redeemed and
that, after the redemption date and upon surrender of such Security, a new Security or Securities in principal amount equal to
the unredeemed portion of the original Security shall be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original
Security;


 


(f)         that Securities of the Series (or portion thereof) called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect
the redemption price;


 


(g)        that interest on Securities of the Series called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date unless
the Company defaults in the deposit of the redemption price;


 


(h)        the CUSIP number, if any, and state that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number,
if any, listed in the SEC’s notice or printed on the Securities; and


 


(i)         any other information as may be required by the terms of the particular Series or the Securities of a Series being redeemed.


 


At the Company’s
request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at its expense, provided, however, that
the Company has delivered to the Trustee, at least 10 days (unless a shorter time shall be acceptable to the Trustee) prior to
the notice date, an Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information
to be stated in such notice.


 


Section 3.4.        
Effect of Notice of Redemption.


 


Once notice of redemption
is mailed as provided in Section 3.3, Securities of a Series called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date
and at the redemption price. Except as otherwise provided in the supplemental indenture, Board Resolution or Officer’s Certificate
for a Series, a notice of redemption may not be conditional. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Securities shall be paid
at the redemption price plus accrued interest to the redemption date other than Securities or portions of Securities called for
redemption which have been delivered by the Company to the Registrar for cancellation. The Paying Agent shall return to the Company
any money not required for that purpose because of conversion of Securities. The Paying Agent shall return to the Company any money
not required for that purpose because of conversion of Securities.


 






    16


     


    

 


Unless the Company shall
default in the payment of Securities (and accrued interest) called for redemption, interest on such Securities shall cease to accrue
after the redemption date. Convertible Securities called for redemption shall cease to be convertible after the close of business
on the Business Day immediately preceding the redemption date (unless the redemption date is also a record date for an interest
payment, in which event they may be converted through the redemption date), unless the Company shall default in the payment of
such Securities on the redemption date, in which event the Securities shall remain convertible until paid (together with accrued
interest).


 


Failure to give notice
of any defect in the notice to any Holder shall not affect the validity of notice to any Holder other than Securities or portions
of Securities called for redemption which have been delivered by the Company to the Registrar for cancellation.


 


Section 3.5.        
Deposit of Redemption Price.


 


On or before 10:00 a.m.,
New York City time, on the redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption
price of and accrued interest, if any, on all Securities to be redeemed on that date.


 


Section 3.6.        
Securities Redeemed in Part.


 


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

COVENANTS


 


Section 4.1.        
Payment of Principal and Interest.


 


The Company covenants
and agrees for the benefit of the Holders of each Series of Securities that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of and
interest, if any, on the Securities of that Series in accordance with the terms of such Securities and this Indenture. On or before
10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the applicable payment date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent money sufficient
to pay the principal of and interest, if any, on the Securities of each Series in accordance with the terms of such Securities
and this Indenture. Principal and interest shall be considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent holds in accordance with
this Indenture on that date money sufficient to pay all principal and interest then due and the Paying Agent is not prohibited
from paying such money to the Holders on such date pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.


 


Section 4.2.        
SEC Reports.


 


To the extent any Securities
of a Series are outstanding, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee within 15 days after it files them with the SEC copies of
the annual reports and of the information, documents, and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as
the SEC may by rules and regulations prescribe) which the Company is required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d)
of the Exchange Act. The Company also shall comply with the other provisions of TIA § 314(a). Reports, information and documents
filed with the SEC via the EDGAR system will be deemed to be delivered to the Trustee as of the time of such filing via EDGAR for
purposes of this Section 4.2; provided, however, that the Trustee shall have no obligation whatsoever to determine whether or not
such information, documents or reports have been filed via EDGAR.


 






    17


     


    

 


Delivery of reports,
information and documents to the Trustee under this Section 4.2 are for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt
of the foregoing shall not constitute constructive or actual notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information
contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of their covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled
to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates).


 


Section 4.3.        
Compliance Certificate.


 


To the extent any Securities
of a Series are outstanding, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the
Company, an Officer’s Certificate from its principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting
officer stating that a review of the activities of the Company and its Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made
under the supervision of the signing Officers with a view to determining whether the Company has kept, observed, performed and
fulfilled its obligations under this Indenture, and further stating, as to each such Officer signing such certificate, that to
the best of his/her knowledge the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in this
Indenture and is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions hereof (or, if
a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which the Officer may have
knowledge).


 


Section 4.4.        
Stay, Extension and Usury Laws.


 


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


 


Section 4.5.        
Corporate Existence.


 


Subject to Article V,
the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence
and rights (charter and statutory); provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right if the
Board of Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company
and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders.

SUCCESSORS


 


Section 5.1.        
When Company May Merge, Etc.


 


The Company shall not
consolidate with or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its assets to, any person (a “successor
person”) unless:


 


(a)        the Company is the surviving corporation or the successor person (if other than the Company) is a corporation organized
and validly existing under the laws of any U.S. domestic jurisdiction and expressly assumes the Company’s obligations on
the Securities and under this Indenture; and


 


(b)        immediately after giving effect to the transaction, no Default or Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing.


 


The Company shall deliver
to the Trustee prior to the consummation of the proposed transaction an Officer’s Certificate to the foregoing effect and
an Opinion of Counsel stating that the proposed transaction and any supplemental indenture comply with Section 5.1 of this Indenture.


 


Notwithstanding the above,
any Subsidiary of the Company may consolidate with, merge into or transfer all or part of its properties to the Company. Neither
an Officer’s Certificate nor an Opinion of Counsel shall be required to be delivered in connection therewith.


 


Section 5.2.        
Successor Corporation Substituted.


 


Upon any consolidation
or merger, or any conveyance, transfer, or lease of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company in accordance with Section
5.1, the successor corporation formed by such consolidation or into or with which the Company is merged or to which such conveyance,
transfer, or lease is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under
this Indenture and the Securities with the same effect as if such successor person has been named as the Company herein; provided,
however, that the predecessor Company in the case of a conveyance or transfer (other than a lease) shall be released from
all obligations and covenants under this Indenture and the Securities.

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES


 


Section 6.1.        
Events of Default.


 


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


 






    19


     


    

 


(a)        default in the payment of any interest on any Security of that Series when it becomes due and payable, and continuance of
such default for a period of 30 days (unless the entire amount of such payment is deposited by the Company with the Trustee or
with a Paying Agent prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the 30th day of such period); or


 


(b)        default in the payment of principal of any Security of that Series at its Maturity; or


 


(c)        default in the performance or breach of any covenant of the Company in this Indenture (other than defaults pursuant to paragraphs
(a) or (b) above or pursuant to a covenant that has been included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of Series of Securities
other than that Series), which default continues uncured for a period of 60 days after there has been given, by registered or certified
mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the
outstanding Securities of that Series a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating
that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder; or


 


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


 


(i)              commences a voluntary case,


 


(ii)             consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case,


 


(iii)           
consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property, or


 


(iv)            makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors.


 


(e)         a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that:


 


(i)              is for relief against the Company in an involuntary case,


 


(ii)             appoints a Custodian of the Company or for all or substantially all of its property, or


 


(iii)           
orders the liquidation of the Company,


 


and the order or decree remains
unstayed and in effect for 60 days; or


 


(f)         any other Event of Default provided with respect to Securities of that Series, which is specified in a Board Resolution,
a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officer’s Certificate, in accordance with Section 2.2.18.


 






    20


     


    

 


The term “Bankruptcy
Law” means title 11, U.S. Code or any similar Federal or State law for the relief of debtors. The term “Custodian”
means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law.


 


The Company will, so
long as any of the Securities are outstanding, deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days of becoming aware of any Default or Event
of Default, an Officer’s Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default and what action the Company is taking or
proposes to take with respect thereto.


 


Section 6.2.        
Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.


 


If an Event of Default
with respect to Securities of any Series at the time outstanding occurs and is continuing (other than an Event of Default referred
to in Section 6.1(d) or (e)) then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the
outstanding Securities of that Series may declare the principal amount (or, if any Securities of that Series are Discount Securities,
such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of such Securities) of and accrued and unpaid interest, if
any, on all of the Securities of that Series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the
Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount) and accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(d) or (e) shall occur,
the principal amount (or specified amount) of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all outstanding Securities shall ipso
facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.


 


At any time after such
a declaration of acceleration with respect to any Series has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money
due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of
the outstanding Securities of that Series, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration
and its consequences if all Events of Default with respect to Securities of that Series, other than the non-payment of the principal
and interest, if any, of Securities of that Series which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been
cured or waived as provided in Section 6.13.


 


No such rescission shall
affect any subsequent Default.


 


Section 6.3.        
Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.


 


The Company covenants
that if


 


(a)        default is made in the payment of any interest on any Security when such interest becomes due and payable and such default
continues for a period of 30 days, or


 


(b)        default is made in the payment of principal of any Security at the Maturity thereof, or


 


(c)        default is made in the deposit of any sinking fund payment, if any, when and as due by the terms of a Security,


 






    21


     


    

 


then, the Company will, upon demand
of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities
for principal and interest and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue
principal and any overdue interest at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and, in addition thereto, such
further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.


 


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


 


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


 


Section 6.4.        
Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.


 


In case of the pendency
of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial
proceeding relating to the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or the property of the Company or of such other obligor
or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities shall then be due and payable as therein
expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for
the payment of overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise,


 


(a)         to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities and
to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any
claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the
Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and


 


(b)        to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same,


 


and any custodian, receiver, assignee,
trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder
to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to
the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.7.


 






    22


     


    

 


Nothing herein contained
shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee
to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.


 


Section 6.5.        
Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities.


 


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


 


Section 6.6.        
Application of Money Collected.


 


Any money or property
collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee
and, in case of the distribution of such money or property on account of principal or interest, upon presentation of the Securities
and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:


 


First:To the payment
of all amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.7; and


 


Second:To the payment
of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of and interest on the Securities in respect of which or for the benefit of which
such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on
such Securities for principal and interest, respectively; and


 


Third:To the Company.


 


Section 6.7.        
Limitation on Suits.


 


No Holder of any Security
of any Series shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the
appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless


 


(a)        such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities
of that Series;


 






    23


     


    

 


(b)        the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of that Series shall have made written
request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder;


 


(c)         such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs,
expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by the Trustee in compliance with such request;


 


(d)        the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such
proceeding; and


 


(e)         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 that Series;


 


it being understood, intended and expressly
covenanted by the Holder of every Security with every other Holder and the Trustee that no one or more of such Holders shall have
any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice
the rights of any other of such Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such Holders
or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all
such Holders of the applicable Series; provided, however, that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether
or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders.


 


Section 6.8.        
Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal and Interest.


 


Notwithstanding any other
provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment
of the principal of and interest, if any, on such Security on the Maturity of such Security, including the Stated Maturity expressed
in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the redemption date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such
payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.


 


Section 6.9.        
Restoration of Rights and Remedies.


 


If the Trustee or any
Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued
or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject
to any determination in such proceeding, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively
to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though
no such proceeding had been instituted.


 


Section 6.10.    
Rights and Remedies Cumulative.


 


Except as otherwise provided
with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in Section 2.8, no right or remedy
herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and
every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given
hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder,
or otherwise, shall not, to the extent permitted by law, prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate
right or remedy.


 






    24


     


    

 


Section 6.11.    
Delay or Omission Not Waiver.


 


No delay or omission
of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Securities to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair
any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy
given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed
expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.


 


Section 6.12.    
Control by Holders.


 


The Holders of a majority
in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any Series shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting
any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect
to the Securities of such Series, provided that


 


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


 


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


 


(c)        subject to the provisions of Section 6.1, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the
Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, determine that the proceeding so directed would involve the
Trustee in personal liability, and


 


(d)        prior to taking any action as directed under this Section 6.12, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnity satisfactory
to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.


 


Section 6.13.    
Waiver of Past Defaults.


 


The Holders of not less
than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any Series may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities
of such Series waive any past Default hereunder with respect to such Series and its consequences, except a Default in the payment
of the principal of or interest on any Security of such Series (provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the outstanding Securities of any Series may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment
default that resulted from such acceleration). Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default
arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any
subsequent or other Default.


 






    25


     


    

 


Section 6.14.    
Undertaking for Costs.


 


All parties to this Indenture
agree, and each Holder of any Security by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion
require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any
action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the
costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees,
against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such
party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Company, to any suit instituted
by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal
amount of the outstanding Securities of any Series, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment
of the principal of or interest on any Security on or after the Maturity of such Security, including the Stated Maturity expressed
in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the redemption date).


 


ARTICLE
VII.

TRUSTEE


 


Section 7.1.        
Duties of Trustee.


 


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


 


(b)        Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:


 


(i)                
The Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others.


 


(ii)             
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 Officer’s Certificates or Opinions of Counsel furnished to the Trustee and conforming
to the requirements of this Indenture; however, in the case of any such Officer’s Certificates or Opinions of Counsel
which by any provisions hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine such Officer’s
Certificates and Opinions of Counsel to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not
confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).


 


(c)         The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own
willful misconduct, except that:


 


(i)          This paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section.


 






    26


     


    

 


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


 


(iii)        The Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it with respect to
Securities of any Series in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
outstanding Securities of such Series relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available
to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture with respect to the Securities
of such Series in accordance with Section 6.12.


 


(d)         Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraph (a), (b) and (c) of this
Section.


 


(e)         The Trustee may refuse to perform any duty or exercise any right or power unless it receives indemnity satisfactory to it
against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in performing such duty or exercising such right or power.


 


(f)          The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be
segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.


 


(g)         No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability
in the performance of any of its duties, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if adequate indemnity against such
risk is not assured to the Trustee in its satisfaction.


 


(h)         The Paying Agent, the Registrar and any authenticating agent shall be entitled to the protections and immunities as are
set forth in paragraphs (e), (f) and (g) of this Section and in Section 7.2, each with respect to the Trustee.


 


Section 7.2.        
Rights of Trustee.


 


(a)         The Trustee may rely on and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any document (whether in its original
or facsimile form) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person. The Trustee need not
investigate any fact or matter stated in the document.


 


(b)        Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel
or both. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officer’s
Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.


 


(c)        The Trustee may act through agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent appointed
with due care. No Depositary shall be deemed an agent of the Trustee and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any act or omission
by any Depositary.


 






    27


     


    

 


(d)        The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it believes to be authorized
or within its rights or powers, provided that the Trustee’s conduct does not constitute willful misconduct or negligence.


 


(e)        The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be
full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder without willful
misconduct or negligence, and in reliance thereon.


 


(f)         The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request
or direction of any of the Holders of Securities unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory
to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.


 


(g)        The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate,
statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness
or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts
or matters as it may see fit and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation.


 


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


 


(i)         In no event shall the Trustee be liable to any person for special, punitive, indirect, consequential or incidental loss
or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood
of such loss or damage.


 


(j)         The permissive right of the Trustee to take the actions permitted by this Indenture shall not be construed as an obligation
or duty to do so.


 


(k)        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.


 


(l)         The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the performance of its powers and duties hereunder.


 






    28


     


    

 


(m)       The Trustee may request that the Company deliver a certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers
authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture.


 


Section 7.3.        
Individual Rights of Trustee.


 


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


 


Section 7.4.        
Trustee’s Disclaimer.


 


The Trustee makes no
representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Securities, it shall not be accountable for the Company’s
use of the proceeds from the Securities, and it shall not be responsible for any statement in the Securities other than its authentication.


 


Section 7.5.        
Notice of Defaults.


 


If a Default or Event
of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to the Securities of any Series and if it is actually known to a Responsible Officer
of the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to each Securityholder of the Securities of that Series notice of a Default or Event of
Default within 60 days after it occurs or, if later, after a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has knowledge of such Default or
Event of Default. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of or interest on any Security of
any Series, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as it in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in
the interests of Securityholders of that Series.


 


Section 7.6.        
Reports by Trustee to Holders.


 


Within 60 days after
May 15 in each year, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Securityholders, as their names and addresses appear on the register
kept by the Registrar, a brief report dated as of such reporting date, in accordance with, and to the extent required under, TIA
 § 313.


 


A copy of each report
at the time of its mailing to Securityholders of any Series shall be filed with the SEC and each national securities exchange on
which the Securities of that Series are listed. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing when Securities of any
Series are listed on any national securities exchange or of any delisting thereof.


 


Section 7.7.        
Compensation and Indemnity.


 


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


 






    29


     


    

 


The Company shall indemnify
each of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee (including the cost of defending itself) against any cost, expense or liability,
including taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee) incurred by it except as
set forth in the next paragraph in the performance of its duties under this Indenture as Trustee or Agent. The Trustee shall notify
the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve
the Company of its obligations hereunder, unless and to the extent that the Company is materially prejudiced thereby. The Company
shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have one separate counsel and the Company
shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent,
which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. This indemnification shall apply to officers, directors, employees, shareholders
and agents of the Trustee.


 


The Company need not
reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss or liability incurred by the Trustee or by any officer, director, employee,
shareholder or agent of the Trustee through willful misconduct or negligence.


 


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


 


When the Trustee incurs
expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(d) or (e) occurs, the expenses and the compensation
for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.


 


The provisions of this
Section shall survive the termination of this Indenture or the resignation or removal of the Trustee.


 


Section 7.8.        
Replacement of Trustee.


 


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


 


The Trustee may resign
with respect to the Securities of one or more Series by so notifying the Company at least 30 days prior to the date of the proposed
resignation. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of any Series may remove the Trustee with respect
to that Series by so notifying the Trustee and the Company. The Company may remove the Trustee with respect to Securities of one
or more Series if:

fund payments in respect of all the Securities of such Series on the dates such installments of interest or principal and such
sinking fund payments are due;

that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of the Securities of such Series will not recognize
income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit, defeasance and discharge and will be subject
to Federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit,
defeasance and discharge had not occurred;


 






    34

5.1 as well as any additional covenants specified in a supplemental indenture for such Series of Securities or a Board Resolution
or an Officer’s Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.2 (and the failure to comply with any such covenants shall not
constitute a Default or Event of Default with respect to such Series under Section 6.1) and the occurrence of any event specified
in a supplemental indenture for such Series of Securities or a Board Resolution or an Officer’s Certificate delivered pursuant
to Section 2.2.18 and designated as an Event of Default shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default hereunder, with respect
to the Securities of such Series, provided that the following conditions shall have been satisfied:

denominated in Dollars, cash in Dollars and/or U.S. Government Obligations, or (ii) in the case of Securities of such Series denominated
in a Foreign Currency (other than a composite currency), money and/or Foreign Government Obligations, which through the payment
of interest and principal in respect thereof in accordance with their terms, will provide (and without reinvestment and assuming
no tax liability will be imposed on such Trustee), not later than one day before the due date of any payment of money, an amount
in cash, sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants or investment bank
expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge each installment of principal of and
interest, if any, on and any mandatory sinking fund payments in respect of the Securities of such Series on the dates such installments
of interest or principal and such sinking fund payments are due;


 


(b)        Such deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, this Indenture or any other agreement

(d)        The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that Holders of the Securities of such
Series will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and covenant defeasance

case if such deposit and covenant defeasance had not occurred;


 


(e)        The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating the deposit was not made by the Company

abandoned property law, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Company upon request any money held by them for the payment
of principal and interest that remains unclaimed for two years. After that, Securityholders entitled to the money must look to
the Company for payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another person.


 


Section 8.6.        
Reinstatement.


 


If the Trustee or the
Paying Agent is unable to apply any money deposited with respect to Securities of any Series in accordance with Section 8.1 by
reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining
or otherwise prohibiting such application, the obligations of the Company under this Indenture with respect to the Securities of
such Series and under the Securities of such Series shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant
to Section 8.1 until such time as the Trustee or the Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section
8.1; provided, however, that if the Company has made any payment of principal of or interest on or any Additional
Amounts with respect to any Securities because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the
rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee
or Paying Agent after payment in full to the Holders.

the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee; or


 


(k)         to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA.


 


Section 9.2.        
With Consent of Holders.


 


The Company and the Trustee
may enter into a supplemental indenture with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the
outstanding Securities of each Series affected by such supplemental indenture (including consents obtained in connection with a
tender offer or exchange offer for the Securities of such Series), for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any
manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner the
rights of the Securityholders of each such Series. Except as provided in Section 6.13, the Holders of at least a majority in principal
amount of the outstanding Securities of any Series by written notice to the Trustee (including consents obtained in connection
with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Securities of such Series) may waive compliance by the Company with any provision
of this Indenture or the Securities with respect to such Series.


 






    37


     


    

 


It shall not be necessary
for the consent of the Holders of Securities under this Section 9.2 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental
indenture or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. After a supplemental indenture
or waiver under this section becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders of Securities affected thereby, a notice
briefly describing the supplemental indenture or waiver. Any failure by the Company to mail or publish such notice, or any defect
therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture or waiver.


 


Section 9.3.        
Limitations.


 


Without the consent of
each Securityholder affected, an amendment or waiver may not:


 


(a)         reduce the principal amount of Securities whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;


 


(b)         reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest (including default interest) on any Security;

the payment of any sinking fund or analogous obligation;

of acceleration of the Securities of any Series by the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities
of such Series and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);


 


(f)          make the principal of or interest, if any, on any Security payable in any currency other than that stated in the Security;


 


(g)         make any change in Sections 6.8, 6.13 or 9.3 (this sentence); or


 


(h)         waive a redemption payment with respect to any Security, provided that such redemption is made at the Company’s option.


 






    38


     


    

 


Section 9.4.        
Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.


 


Every amendment to this
Indenture or the Securities of one or more Series shall be set forth in a supplemental indenture hereto that complies with the
TIA as then in effect.


 


Section 9.5.        
Revocation and Effect of Consents.


 


Until an amendment is
set forth in a supplemental indenture or a waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Security is a continuing
consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting
Holder’s Security, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Security. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder
may revoke the consent as to his Security or portion of a Security if the Trustee receives the written notice of revocation before
the date of the supplemental indenture or the date the waiver becomes effective.


 


Any amendment or waiver
once effective shall bind every Securityholder of each Series affected by such amendment or waiver unless it is of the type described
in any of clauses (a) through (h) of Section 9.3. In that case, the amendment or waiver shall bind each Holder of a Security who
has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting
Holder’s Security.


 


The Company may, but
shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to give their consent or take
any other action described above or required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, then
notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated
proxies), and only those persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent previously given or take any
such action, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective
for more than 120 days after such record date.


 


Section 9.6.        
Notation on or Exchange of Securities.


 


The Company or the Trustee
may place an appropriate notation about an amendment or waiver on any Security of any Series thereafter authenticated. The Company
in exchange for Securities of that Series may issue and the Trustee shall authenticate upon request new Securities of that Series
that reflect the amendment or waiver.


 


Section 9.7.        
Trustee Protected.


 


In executing, or accepting
the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby of the trusts
created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall receive, and (subject to Section 7.1) shall be fully protected in conclusively relying
upon, an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both complying with Section 10.4 and stating that the supplemental
indenture is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms,
subject to customary exceptions. The Trustee shall sign all supplemental indentures upon delivery of such an Officer’s Certificate
or Opinion of Counsel or both, except that the Trustee need not sign any supplemental indenture that adversely affects its rights.

Unless otherwise specified
in a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officer’s Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.2 of this
Indenture with respect to a particular Series of Securities, whenever for purposes of this Indenture any action may be taken by
the Holders of a specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of Securities of all Series or all Series affected by a particular
action at the time outstanding and, at such time, there are outstanding Securities of any Series which are denominated more than
one currency, then the principal amount of Securities of such Series which shall be deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of
taking such action shall be determined by converting any such other currency into a currency that is designated upon issuance of
any particular Series of Securities. Unless otherwise specified in a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officer’s
Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.2 of this Indenture with respect to a particular Series of Securities, such conversion
shall be at the spot rate for the purchase of the designated currency as published in The Financial Times in the “Currency
Rates” section (of, if The Financial Times is no longer published, or if such information is no longer available in The Financial
Times, such source as may be selected in good faith by the Company) on any date of determination. The provisions of this paragraph
shall apply in determining the equivalent principal amount in respect of Securities of a Series denominated in currency other than
Dollars in connection with any action taken by Holders of Securities pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.

Section 10.16.     Judgment Currency.


 


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


 


Section 10.17.     Force Majeure.


 


In no event shall the
Trustee be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused
by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts
of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or
malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services, it being understood that the Trustee shall
use reasonable best efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon
as practicable under the circumstances.


 


Section 10.18.     U.S.A. Patriot Act.


 


The parties hereto acknowledge that in accordance
with Section 326 of the U.S.A. Patriot Act, the Trustee, like all financial institutions and in order to help fight the funding
of terrorism and money laundering, is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person or legal entity
that establishes a relationship or opens an account with the Trustee. The parties to this Indenture agree that they will provide
the Trustee with such information as it may request in order for the Trustee to satisfy the requirements of the U.S.A. Patriot
Act.

ARTICLE
XI.

SINKING FUNDS


 


Section 11.1.    
Applicability of Article.


 


The provisions of this
Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of the Securities of a Series if so provided by the terms of
such Securities pursuant to Section 2.2 and except as otherwise permitted or required by any form of Security of such Series issued
pursuant to this Indenture.


 


The minimum amount of
any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of the Securities of any Series is herein referred to as a “mandatory
sinking fund payment” and any other amount provided for by the terms of Securities of such Series is herein referred
to as an “optional sinking fund payment.” If provided for by the terms of Securities of any Series, the cash
amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 11.2. Each sinking fund payment shall be
applied to the redemption of Securities of any Series as provided for by the terms of the Securities of such Series.


 


Section 11.2.    
Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities.


 


The Company may, in satisfaction
of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities of any Series to be made pursuant to the terms of
such Securities (1) deliver outstanding Securities of such Series to which such sinking fund payment is applicable (other than
any of such Securities previously called for mandatory sinking fund redemption) and (2) apply as credit Securities of such Series
to which such sinking fund payment is applicable and which have been repurchased by the Company or redeemed either at the election
of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Series of Securities (except pursuant to any mandatory sinking fund) or through the
application of permitted optional sinking fund payments or other optional redemptions pursuant to the terms of such Securities,
provided that such Securities have not been previously so credited. Such Securities shall be received by the Trustee, together
with an Officer’s Certificate with respect thereto, not later than 15 days prior to the date on which the Trustee begins
the process of selecting Securities for redemption, and shall be credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the price specified
in such Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced
accordingly. If as a result of the delivery or credit of Securities in lieu of cash payments pursuant to this Section 11.2, the
principal amount of Securities of such Series to be redeemed in order to exhaust the aforesaid cash payment shall be less than
$100,000, the Trustee need not call Securities of such Series for redemption, except upon receipt of a Company Order that such
action be taken, and such cash payment shall be held by the Trustee or a Paying Agent and applied to the next succeeding sinking
fund payment, provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall from time to time upon receipt of a
Company Order pay over and deliver to the Company any cash payment so being held by the Trustee or such Paying Agent upon delivery
by the Company to the Trustee of Securities of that Series purchased by the Company having an unpaid principal amount equal to
the cash payment required to be released to the Company.


 






    45


     


    

 


Section 11.3.    
Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund.


 


Not less than 45 days
(unless otherwise indicated in the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officer’s Certificate in respect of
a particular Series of Securities) prior to each sinking fund payment date for any Series of Securities, the Company will deliver
to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment for that
Series pursuant to the terms of that Series, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion
thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting of Securities of that Series pursuant to Section 11.2, and
the optional amount, if any, to be added in cash to the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, and the Company shall thereupon
be obligated to pay the amount therein specified. Not less than 30 days (unless otherwise indicated in the Board Resolution, Officer’s
Certificate or supplemental indenture in respect of a particular Series of Securities) before each such sinking fund payment date
the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 3.2
and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided
in Section 3.3. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner
stated in Sections 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6.
