Section 2.04

below in this Section) or pursuant to such procedures acceptable to the Trustee and to such recipients as may be specified from
time to time by an Issuer Order. The maturity date, original issue date, interest rate and any other terms of the Securities of
such series shall be determined by or pursuant to such Issuer Order and procedures. If provided for in such procedures, such Issuer
Order may authorize authentication and delivery pursuant to oral instructions from the Issuer or its duly authorized agent, which
instructions shall be promptly confirmed in writing. In authenticating such Securities and accepting the additional responsibilities
under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 6.01) shall

to the Issuer;


 


(b)        any Board Resolution, Officer’s Certificate and/or executed supplemental indenture referred to in Sections 2.01 and

that the form or forms and terms of the Securities have been established pursuant to Sections 2.01 and 2.03 and comply with
this Indenture, and covering such other matters as the Trustee may reasonably request; and


 


(d)          an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that:


 


(i)          the form or forms and terms of such Securities have been established pursuant to Sections 2.01 and 2.03 and comply with
this Indenture,


 


(ii)         the authentication and delivery of such Securities by the Trustee are authorized under the provisions of this Indenture,
and


 


(iii)        such Securities when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Issuer in the manner and subject to any
conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Issuer,


 


and covering such other matters as the Trustee
may reasonably request.


 


The Trustee shall have the right to decline
to authenticate and deliver any Securities under this Section if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action
may not lawfully be taken by the Issuer or if the Trustee in good faith by its board of directors or board of trustees, executive
committee, or a trust committee of directors or trustees or Responsible Officers shall determine that such action would expose
the Trustee to personal liability to existing Holders or would affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under
the Securities, this Indenture or otherwise.


 


The Issuer shall execute and the Trustee
shall, in accordance with this Section with respect to the Securities of a series, authenticate and deliver one or more 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 and not yet cancelled, (ii) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary for such Global
Security or Securities or the nominee of such Depositary, (iii) shall be delivered by the Trustee to such Depositary or pursuant
to such Depositary’s instructions and (iv) shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect:


 


“UNLESS AND UNTIL IT IS EXCHANGED
IN WHOLE OR IN PART FOR SECURITIES IN DEFINITIVE REGISTERED FORM, THIS SECURITY MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT 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
OR BY THE DEPOSITARY OR ANY SUCH NOMINEE TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE OF SUCH SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY.”


 


Each Depositary designated pursuant to this
Section must, at the time of its designation and at all times while it serves as Depositary, be a clearing agency registered under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and any other applicable statute or regulation.

Section 2.05       
Execution of Securities. The Securities shall be signed on behalf of the Issuer by the chairman of its Board of Directors,
any vice chairman of its Board of Directors, its chief executive officer, its principal financial officer, its president, any vice
president or its treasurer. Such signatures may be the manual or facsimile signatures of the present or any future such officers.
Typographical and other minor errors or defects in any such reproduction of any such signature shall not affect the validity or
enforceability of any Security that has been duly authenticated and delivered by the Trustee.


 


In case any officer of the Issuer who shall
have signed any of the Securities shall cease to be such officer before the Security so signed shall be authenticated and delivered
by the Trustee or disposed of by the Issuer, such Security nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though
the person who signed such Security had not ceased to be such officer of the Issuer; and any Security may be signed on behalf of
the Issuer by such persons as, at the actual date of the execution of such Security, shall be the proper officers of the Issuer,
although at the date of the execution and delivery of this Indenture any such person was not such an officer.


 


Section 2.06       
Certificate of Authentication. Only such Securities as shall bear thereon a certificate of authentication substantially
in the form hereinbefore recited, executed by the Trustee by the manual signature of one of its authorized officers, shall be entitled
to the benefits of this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. The execution of such certificate by the Trustee upon
any Security executed by the Issuer shall be conclusive evidence that the Security so authenticated has been duly authenticated
and delivered hereunder and that the Holder is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.


 


Section 2.07       
Denomination and Date of Securities; Payments of Interest. The Securities of each series shall be issuable in denominations
established as contemplated by Section 2.03 or, if not so established, in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of
$1,000 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 Issuer executing the same may determine with the approval of the Trustee, as evidenced by
the execution and authentication thereof. Unless otherwise indicated in a Board Resolution, Officer’s Certificate or supplemental
indenture for a particular series, interest will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.


 


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 shall be payable
on the dates, established as contemplated by Section 2.03.


 


The Person in whose name any 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, exchange or conversion of such Security subsequent to the record date and prior to such Interest Payment Date, except
if and to the extent the Issuer shall default in the payment of the interest due on such Interest Payment Date for such series,
in which case such defaulted interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names Outstanding Securities for such series are registered
at the close of business on a subsequent record date (which shall be not less than five Business Days prior to the date of payment
of such defaulted interest) established by notice given by or on behalf of the Issuer to the Holders of Securities not less than
15 days preceding such subsequent record date. 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 Securities of such series established as contemplated by Section 2.03, or, if no such date is so specified, if
such Interest Payment Date is the first day of a calendar month, the 15th day of the immediately preceding calendar month or, if
such Interest Payment Date is the 15th day of a calendar month, the first day of such calendar month, whether or not such record
date is a Business Day.

Section 2.08       
Registration, Transfer and Exchange. The Issuer will keep at each office or agency to be maintained for the purpose
as provided in Section 3.02 for each series of Securities a register or registers in which, subject to such reasonable regulations
as it may prescribe, it will provide for the registration of Securities of such series and the registration of transfer of Securities
of such series. Such register shall be in written form in the English language or in any other form capable of being converted
into such form within a reasonable time. At all reasonable times such register or registers shall be open for inspection by the
Trustee.


 


Upon due presentation for registration of
transfer of any Security of any series at any such office or agency to be maintained for the purpose as provided in Section 3.02,
the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new Security
or Securities of the same series, maturity date, interest rate and original issue date in authorized denominations for a like aggregate
principal amount.


 


At the option of the Holder thereof, Securities
of any series (except a Global Security) may be exchanged for a Security or Securities of such series having authorized denominations
and an equal aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of such Securities to be exchanged at the agency of the Issuer that shall
be maintained for such purpose in accordance with Section 3.02 and upon payment, if the Issuer shall so require, of the charges
hereinafter provided. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. All Securities surrendered
upon any exchange or transfer provided for in this Indenture shall be promptly cancelled and disposed of by the Trustee and the
Trustee will deliver a certificate of disposition thereof to the Issuer.


 


All Securities presented for registration
of transfer, exchange, redemption or payment shall (if so required by the Issuer or the Trustee) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied
by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder
or his or her attorney duly authorized in writing.


 


The Issuer may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any stamp or other 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.


 






    -13- 


     


    

 


The Issuer shall not be required to exchange
or register a transfer of (a) any Securities of any series for a period of 15 days immediately preceding the first delivery of
notice of redemption of Securities of such series to be redeemed or (b) any Securities selected, called or being called for redemption,
in whole or in part, except, in the case of any Security to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not so to be redeemed.


 


Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Section 2.08, unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Securities in definitive registered form, a 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 the Securities
of a series notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Securities of such series or if
at any time the Depositary for the Securities of a series shall no longer be eligible under Section 2.04, the Issuer shall appoint
a successor Depositary with respect to the Securities of such series. If a successor Depositary for the Securities of such series
is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days after the Issuer receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the
Issuer’s determination pursuant to Section 2.03 that the Securities of such series be represented by a Global Security shall
no longer be effective and the Issuer will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate for the authentication
and delivery of definitive Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver, Securities of such series in definitive registered
form, in any authorized denominations, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security or
Securities representing the Securities of such series, in exchange for such Global Security or Securities.


 


The Issuer may at any time and in its sole
discretion determine that the Securities of any series issued in the form of one or more Global Securities shall no longer be represented
by a Global Security or Securities. In such event the Issuer will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officer’s
Certificate for the authentication and delivery of definitive Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver, Securities
of such series in definitive registered form, in any authorized denominations, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal
amount of the Global Security or Securities representing such series, in exchange for such Global Security or Securities.


 


The Depositary for such Global Security
may surrender such Global Security in exchange in whole or in part for Securities of the same series in definitive registered form
in accordance with the two preceding paragraphs or on such other terms as are acceptable to the Issuer and such Depositary. Thereupon,
the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, without service charge,


 


(i)         to the Person specified by such Depositary a new Security or Securities of the same series, 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 Global Security; and


 


(ii)        to such Depositary a new Global Security in a denomination equal to the difference, if any, between the principal amount
of the surrendered Global Security and the aggregate principal amount of Securities authenticated and delivered pursuant to clause
(i) above.


 






    -14- 


     


    

 


Upon the exchange of a Global Security for
Securities in definitive registered form, in authorized denominations, such Global Security shall be cancelled by the Trustee.
Securities in definitive registered form issued in exchange for a Global Security pursuant to this Section 2.08 shall be registered
in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary for such Global Security, pursuant to instructions from its
direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee 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 Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits
under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.


 


Section 2.09       
Mutilated, Defaced, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities. In case any temporary or definitive Security shall become
mutilated or defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Issuer in its discretion may execute, and upon the written request of
any officer of the Issuer, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver a new Security of the same series, maturity date, interest
rate and original issue date, bearing a number or other distinguishing symbol not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and
substitution for the mutilated or defaced Security, or in lieu of and substitution for the Security so destroyed, lost or stolen.
In every case the applicant for a substitute Security shall furnish to the Issuer and to the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer
or the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to indemnify and defend and to save each of them harmless
and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security
and of the ownership thereof and in the case of mutilation or defacement shall surrender the Security to the Trustee.


 


Upon the issuance of any substitute Security,
the Issuer 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. In case any Security which
has matured or is about to mature or has been called for redemption in full, or is being surrendered for conversion in full, shall
become mutilated or defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Issuer may, instead of issuing a substitute Security (with the
Holder’s consent, in the case of convertible Securities), pay or authorize the payment of the same or convert, or authorize
conversion of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated or defaced Security), if the applicant for
such payment shall furnish to the Issuer and to the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee such security or indemnity
as any of them may require to save each of them harmless, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall
also furnish to the Issuer and the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction,
loss or theft of such Security and of the ownership thereof.


 






    -15- 


     


    

 


Every substitute Security of any series
issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section by virtue of the fact that any such Security is destroyed, lost or stolen shall
constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, 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 (but shall be subject to all the limitations of rights
set forth in) this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of such series duly authenticated and
delivered hereunder. All Securities shall be held and owned upon the express condition that, to the extent permitted by law, the
foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment or conversion of mutilated, defaced or destroyed,
lost or stolen Securities and shall preclude any and all other rights or remedies notwithstanding any law or statute existing or
hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment of negotiable instruments or other securities without
their surrender.


 


Section 2.10       
Cancellation of Securities; Destruction Thereof. All Securities surrendered for exchange for Securities of the same
series or for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or conversion or for credit against any payment in respect of a sinking
or analogous fund, if surrendered to the Issuer or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee, shall be delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation or, if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be cancelled by it; and no Securities shall be issued in lieu thereof except
as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. The Trustee shall dispose of cancelled Securities held by it
and deliver a certificate of disposition to the Issuer. If the Issuer shall acquire any of the Securities, such acquisition shall
not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the Debt represented by such Securities unless and until the same are delivered
to the Trustee for cancellation.


 


Section 2.11       
Temporary Securities. Pending the preparation of definitive Securities for any series, the Issuer may execute and
the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver temporary Securities for such series (printed, lithographed, typewritten or otherwise
reproduced, in each case in form satisfactory to the Trustee). Temporary Securities of any series shall be issuable in any authorized
denomination, and substantially in the form of the definitive Securities of such series but with such omissions, insertions and
variations as may be appropriate for temporary Securities, all as may be determined by the Issuer with the concurrence of the Trustee
as evidenced by the execution and authentication thereof. Temporary Securities may contain such reference to any provisions of
this Indenture as may be appropriate. Every temporary Security shall be executed by the Issuer and be authenticated by the Trustee
upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with like effect, as the definitive Securities. Without unreasonable
delay the Issuer shall execute and shall furnish definitive Securities of such series and thereupon temporary Securities of such
series may be surrendered in exchange therefor without charge at each office or agency to be maintained by the Issuer for that
purpose pursuant to Section 3.02 and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such temporary Securities of such
series an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series having 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, unless the benefits of the temporary Securities are limited pursuant to Section 2.03.

one or more additional agencies where the Securities of a series may be presented for payment, where the Securities of that series
may be presented for exchange or conversion, if applicable, as provided in this Indenture and pursuant to Section 2.03 and where
the Securities of that series may be presented for registration of transfer as in this Indenture provided, and the Issuer may from
time to time rescind any such designation, as the Issuer may deem desirable or expedient; provided, however, that
no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Issuer of its obligation to maintain the agencies provided for
in this Section. The Issuer will give to the Trustee prompt written notice of any such designation or rescission thereof.


 


Section 3.03       
Appointment to Fill a Vacancy in Office of Trustee. The Issuer, whenever necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in
the office of Trustee, will appoint, in the manner provided in Section 6.10, a Trustee, so that there shall at all times be a Trustee
with respect to each series of Securities hereunder.


 


Section 3.04       
Paying Agents. Whenever the Issuer shall appoint a paying agent other than the Trustee with respect to the Securities
of any series, it will cause such paying agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such agent shall agree
with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section,


 


(a)         that it will hold all sums received by it as such agent for the payment of the principal of or interest on the Securities
of such series (whether such sums have been paid to it by the Issuer or by any other obligor on the Securities of such series)
in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such series or of the Trustee,


 






    -17- 


     


    

 


(b)         that it will give the Trustee notice of any failure by the Issuer (or by any other obligor on the Securities of such series)
to make any payment of the principal of or interest on the Securities of such series when the same shall be due and payable, and


 


(c)         that at any time during the continuance of any such failure, upon the written request of the Trustee, it will forthwith
pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such paying agent.


 


The Issuer will, on or prior to each due
date of the principal of or interest on the Securities of such series, deposit with the paying agent a sum sufficient to pay such
principal or interest so becoming due, and (unless such paying agent is the Trustee) the Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee
of any failure to take such action.


 


If the Issuer shall act as its own paying
agent with respect to the Securities of any series, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of or interest on the
Securities of such series, set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such series
a sum sufficient to pay such principal or interest so becoming due. The Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee of any failure
to take such action.


 


Anything in this Section to the contrary
notwithstanding, but subject to Section 10.01, the Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining a satisfaction and discharge
with respect to one or more or all series of Securities hereunder, or for any other reason, pay or cause to be paid to the Trustee
all sums held in trust for any such series by the Issuer or any paying agent hereunder, as required by this Section, such sums
to be held by the Trustee upon the trusts herein contained.


 


Anything in this Section to the contrary
notwithstanding, the agreement to hold sums in trust as provided in this Section is subject to the provisions of Sections 10.03
and 10.04.


 


Section 3.05       
Written Statement to Trustee. So long as any Securities are Outstanding hereunder, the Issuer will deliver to the
Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Issuer ending after the date hereof, a written certificate covering
the previous fiscal year, (which need not comply with Section 11.05), signed by its principal executive officer, principal financial
officer or principal accounting officer, stating whether or not, to the best knowledge of such officer, the Issuer is in default
in the performance and observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (without regard to any period
of grace or requirement of notice provided hereunder) and, if the Issuer shall be in default, specifying all such defaults and
the nature and status thereof of which they may have knowledge.

ARTICLE 5

REMEDIES OF THE TRUSTEE AND SECURITYHOLDERS ON EVENT OF DEFAULT


 


Section 5.01          
Event of Default Defined; Acceleration of Maturity; Waiver of Default. “Event of Default”, with
respect to Securities of any series wherever used herein, means any one of the following events which shall have occurred and be
continuing (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)           default in the payment of any installment of interest upon any of the Securities of such series as and when the same shall
become due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days (or such other period as may be established for
the Securities of such series as contemplated by Section 2.03); or


 


(b)           default in the payment of all or any part of the principal on any of the Securities of such series as and when the same
shall become due and payable either at maturity, upon redemption, by declaration or otherwise (and, if established for the Securities
of such series as contemplated by Section 2.03, the continuance of such default for a specified period); or


 


(c)           default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant or agreement of the Issuer in respect of the Securities of such series
(other than a covenant or agreement in respect of the Securities of such series a default in the performance or breach of which
is elsewhere in this Section specifically dealt with), and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 90 days after
there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Issuer by the Trustee or to the Issuer and the Trustee by the Holders
of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such 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)           a court having jurisdiction in the premises shall enter a decree or order for relief in respect of the Issuer 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 or sequestrator (or similar official) of the Issuer or for all or substantially all of its property
and assets 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 90 consecutive days; or


 


(e)           the Issuer shall commence a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter
in effect, or consent to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any such law, or consent to the appointment
of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee or sequestrator (or similar official) of the Issuer
or for any substantial part of its property and assets, or make any general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or


 


(f)            any other Event of Default provided for in such series of Securities.


 


If an Event of Default described in clauses
(a), (b), (c) or (f) occurs and is continuing, then, and in each and every such case, unless the principal of all of the Securities
of such series shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal
amount of the Securities of such series then Outstanding hereunder (each such series voting as a separate class) by notice in writing
to the Issuer (and also to the Trustee if given by Securityholders), may declare the entire principal (or, if the Securities of
such series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of such
series) of all Securities of such series and the interest accrued thereon, if any, to be due and payable immediately, and upon
any such declaration the same shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default described in clauses (d) or (e)
occurs and is continuing, then and in each and every such case, the entire principal (or, if any Securities are Original Issue
Discount Securities, such portion of the principal as may be specified in the terms thereof) of all the Securities then Outstanding
and interest accrued thereon, if any, shall automatically become immediately due and payable.


 






    -20- 


     


    

 


The foregoing provisions, however, are subject
to the condition that if, at any time after the principal of the Securities of any series shall have been so declared due and payable,
and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the moneys due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided,
the Issuer shall pay or shall deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest upon all the
Securities of such series and the principal of any and all Securities of such series which shall have become due otherwise than
by acceleration (with interest upon such principal and, to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable
law, on overdue installments of interest, at the same rate as the rate of interest specified in the Securities of such series to
the date of such payment or deposit) and such amount as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its
agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee except as
a result of negligence or bad faith, and if any and all Events of Default under the Indenture with respect to such series, other
than the non-payment of the principal of Securities of such series which shall have become due solely by such acceleration, shall
have been cured, waived or otherwise remedied as provided herein, then and in every such case the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of all the Securities of such series then Outstanding, by written notice to the Issuer and to the Trustee, may
waive all defaults with respect to such series and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences, but no such waiver
or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default or shall impair any right consequent thereon.


 


Unless otherwise indicated in the Board
Resolution, Officer’s Certificate or supplemental indenture for a series of Original Issue Discount Securities, for all purposes
under this Indenture, if a portion of the principal of any Original Issue Discount Securities shall have been accelerated and declared
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.


 


Section 5.02         
Collection of Debt by Trustee; Trustee May Prove Debt. The Issuer covenants that (a) in case default shall be made
in the payment of any installment of interest on any of the Securities of any series when such interest shall have become due and
payable, and such default shall have continued for a period of 30 days or (b) in case default shall be made in the payment of all
or any part of the principal of any of the Securities of any series when the same shall have become due and payable, whether upon
maturity of the Securities of such series or upon any redemption or by declaration or otherwise, then, upon demand of the Trustee,
the Issuer 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 Securities of such series for principal or interest, as the case may be (with interest to the
date of such payment upon the overdue principal and, to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable
law, on overdue installments of interest at the same rate as the rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original
Issue Discount Securities) specified in the Securities of such series); and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall
be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including reasonable compensation to the Trustee and each predecessor
trustee, their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and any expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the
Trustee and each predecessor trustee except as a result of its negligence or bad faith.


 






    -21- 


     


    

 


In case the Issuer 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 action or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute
any such action or proceedings to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against the Issuer
or other obligor upon such Securities and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Issuer or other obligor
upon such Securities, wherever situated, the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable.


 


In case there shall be pending proceedings
relative to the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Securities under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable
Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization,
liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the Issuer or its property or
such other obligor or its property, or in case of any other comparable judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer or other obligor
upon the Securities of any series, or to the creditors or property of the Issuer or such other obligor, the Trustee, irrespective
of whether the principal of any 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 pursuant to the provisions of this Section, shall be entitled and
empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise:


 


(i)          to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and interest (or, if the Securities of any series
are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of such series) owing
and unpaid in respect of the Securities of any series, 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 reasonable compensation to the Trustee and each predecessor
trustee, and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and for reimbursement of all expenses and liabilities incurred, and
all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor trustee, except as a result of negligence or bad faith) and of the Securityholders
allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer or other obligor upon the Securities of any series, or to the creditors
or property of the Issuer or such other obligor,


 


(ii)         unless prohibited by applicable law and regulations, to vote on behalf of the Holders of the Securities of any series in
any election of a trustee or a standby trustee in arrangement, reorganization, liquidation or other bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings
or person performing similar functions in comparable proceedings, and


 






    -22- 


     


    

 


(iii)        to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute all amounts
received with respect to the claims of the Securityholders and of the Trustee on their behalf; and any trustee, receiver or liquidator,
custodian or other similar official is hereby authorized by each of the Securityholders to make payments to the Trustee, and, in
the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of payments directly to the Securityholders, to pay to the Trustee such
amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Trustee, each predecessor trustee and their respective agents,
attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor
trustee except as a result of negligence or bad faith and all other amounts due to the Trustee or any predecessor trustee pursuant
to Section 6.06.


 


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


 


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 on any trial or other proceedings relative thereto, and any such action
or proceedings instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment,
subject to the payment of the expenses, disbursements and compensation of the Trustee, each predecessor trustee and their respective
agents and attorneys, shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such action was taken.


 


In any proceedings brought by the Trustee
(and also any proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the Trustee shall be a party),
the Trustee shall be held to represent all the Holders of the Securities in respect to which such action was taken, and it shall
not be necessary to make any Holders of such Securities parties to any such proceedings.


 


Section 5.03          
Application of Proceeds. Any moneys collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article in respect of any series shall
be applied in the following order at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such moneys on
account of principal or interest, upon presentation of the several Securities in respect of which monies have been collected and
stamping (or otherwise noting) thereon the payment, or issuing Securities of such series in reduced principal amounts in exchange
for the presented Securities of like series if only partially paid, or upon surrender thereof if fully paid:


 


First:
To the payment of all amounts due to the Trustee or any predecessor trustee pursuant to Section 6.06;


 






    -23- 


     


    

 


Second:
In case the principal of the Securities of such series in respect of which moneys have been collected shall not have become
and be then due and payable, to the payment of interest on the Securities of such series in default in the order of the maturity
of the installments of such interest, with interest (to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee) upon the
overdue installments of interest, to the extent permitted by applicable law, at the same rate as the rate of interest or Yield
to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities) specified in such Securities, such payments to be made ratably
to the Persons entitled thereto, without discrimination or preference;


 


Third:
In case the principal of the Securities of such series in respect of which moneys have been collected shall have become
and shall be then due and payable, to the payment of the whole amount then owing and unpaid upon all the Securities of such series
for principal and interest, with interest upon the overdue principal, and (to the extent that such interest has been collected
by the Trustee) upon overdue installments of interest, to the extent permitted by applicable law, at the same rate as the rate
of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities) specified in the Securities of such series;
and in case such moneys 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 of interest 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; and


 


Fourth:
To the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Issuer or any other Person lawfully entitled thereto.


 


Section 5.04       
Suits for Enforcement. In case an Event of Default has occurred, has not been waived and is continuing, the Trustee
may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings
as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, either at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or
otherwise, whether for the 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 legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture
or by law.


 


Section 5.05       
Restoration of Rights on Abandonment of Proceedings. In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right
under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or shall have been determined
adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case (subject to any determination in such proceeding) the Issuer and the Trustee
shall be restored respectively to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Issuer,
the Trustee and the Securityholders shall continue as though no such proceedings had been taken.


 






    -24- 


     


    

 


Section 5.06       
Limitations on Suits by Securityholders. No Holder of any Security of any series shall have any right by virtue,
or by availing itself, of any provision of this Indenture to institute any action or proceeding at law or in equity or in bankruptcy
or otherwise upon or under or with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian
or other similar official or for any other remedy hereunder, unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written
notice of default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also 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 or proceedings in its own name as trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable
indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby and the Trustee for 60
days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity shall have failed to institute any such action or proceeding
and no direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee pursuant to Section 5.09; it being
understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by the Holder of every Security of a particular series with every other
Holder of Securities of such series and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Securities of any series shall have any right
in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of
any other such Holder of Securities of such series, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such
Holder of such series or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable
and common benefit of all Holders of Securities of the applicable series. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions
of this Section, each and every Securityholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or
in equity.


 


Section 5.07       
Unconditional Right of Securityholders to Institute Certain Suits. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture
and any provision of any Security, the right of any Holder of any Security to receive payment of the principal of and interest
on such Security on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Security in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof,
or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected
without the consent of such Holder; it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by the Holder of every Security
of a particular series with every other Holder of Securities of such Series and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Securities
of any series shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to affect,
disturb or prejudice the rights of any other such Holder of Securities of such series, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority
over or preference to any other such Holder of Securities of such series or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in
the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Holders of Securities of the applicable series.
For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section, each and every Securityholder and the Trustee shall be entitled
to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.


 


Section 5.08       
Powers and Remedies Cumulative; Delay or Omission Not Waiver of Default. Except as provided in Section 5.06, no right
or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities is intended to be exclusive of any other
right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other
right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of
any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate
right or remedy.


 






    -25- 


     


    

 


No delay or omission of the Trustee or of
any Holder of Securities to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event of Default occurring and continuing as aforesaid
shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein;
and, subject to Section 5.06, every power and remedy given by this Indenture or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities
may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders of Securities.


 


Section 5.09       
Control by Holders of Securities. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each
series affected (with each series voting as a separate class) at the time Outstanding 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 by this Indenture; provided, that such direction shall not
be otherwise than in accordance with law and the provisions of this Indenture and provided, further, that (subject to the provisions
of Section 6.01) the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee, being advised by counsel,
shall determine that the action or proceeding so directed may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith by its board
of directors, the executive committee, or a trust committee of directors or Responsible Officers of the Trustee shall determine
that the action or proceedings so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability or if the Trustee in good faith shall
so determine that the actions or forbearances specified in or pursuant to such direction would be unduly prejudicial to the interests
of Holders of the Securities of all series so affected not joining in the giving of said direction, it being understood that (subject
to Section 6.01) the Trustee shall have no duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial
to such Holders.


 


Nothing in this Indenture shall impair the
right of the Trustee in its discretion to take any action deemed proper by the Trustee and which is not inconsistent with such
direction or directions by Securityholders.


 


Section 5.10       
Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any series
at the time Outstanding, by notice to the Trustee, may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series waive any
existing default in the performance of any of the covenants contained herein or established pursuant to Section 2.03 with respect
to such series and its consequences, except an uncured default in the payment of the principal of, or interest on, any of the Securities
of that series as and when the same shall become due by the terms of such Securities; and may rescind an acceleration and its consequences,
including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration. In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Trustee
and the Holders of the Securities of such series shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively,
such default shall cease to exist and be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, and any Event of Default arising therefrom
shall be deemed to have been cured, and not to have occurred for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend
to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.


 






    -26- 


     


    

 


Section 5.11       
Trustee to Give Notice of Default. The Trustee shall, within 90 days after the occurrence of a default with respect
to the Securities of any series, give notice of all defaults with respect to that series known to the Trustee to all Holders of
Securities of such series in the manner and to the extent provided in Sections 4.03 and 11.04, unless in each case such defaults
shall have been cured before the giving of such notice (the term “defaults” for the purpose of this Section
being hereby defined to mean any event or condition which is, or with notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of
Default); provided, that, except in the case of default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any of the Securities
of such series, or in the payment of any sinking fund installment on 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 or trustees and/or
Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Securityholders
of such series.


 


Section 5.12       
Right of Court to Require Filing of Undertaking to Pay Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder
of any Security by his or her 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 Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Securityholder
or group of Securityholders of any series holding in the aggregate more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities
of such series, or to any suit instituted by any Securityholder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or interest
on any Security of such series, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Security or established pursuant to this
Indenture.


 


ARTICLE 6

CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE


 


Section 6.01       
Duties and Responsibilities of the Trustee; During Default; Prior to Default. With respect to the Holders of any
series of Securities issued hereunder, the Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Securities
of a particular series and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred with respect to such series,
undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture. In case an Event of Default
with respect to the Securities of a series has occurred (and has not been cured or waived), 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.


 


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.

Section 6.02       
   Certain Rights of the Trustee. In furtherance of and subject to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 and subject to Section
6.01:


 


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


 


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


 


(c)           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 pursuant to Section 5.09 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;


 


(d)           none of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise
incur personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if
there shall be reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such liability is
not reasonably assured to it;


 


(e)           the Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officer’s Certificate
or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, security
or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;


 


(f)            any request, direction, order or demand of the Issuer mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Officer’s
Certificate (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed); and any resolution of the Board of Directors
may be evidenced to the Trustee by a copy thereof certified by the secretary or an assistant secretary of the Issuer;


 


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


 


(h)           the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request,
order or direction of any of the Securityholders pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Securityholders shall
have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that might be incurred
therein or thereby;


 






    -28- 


     


    

 


(i)            the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized
or within the discretion, rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture;


 


(j)            prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default, 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, consent, order, approval, appraisal, bond, debenture, note, security, or other paper or document
unless requested in writing so to do 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 Issuer or, if paid by the Trustee or any predecessor trustee, shall be repaid by the Issuer upon demand; and


 


(k)           the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through
agents or attorneys not regularly in its employ and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the
part of any such agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder.


 


Section 6.03   
        Trustee Not Responsible for Recitals, Disposition of Securities or Application of Proceeds
Thereof. The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee’s certificates of authentication,
shall be taken as the statements of the Issuer, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same.
The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities. The Trustee
shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Issuer of any of the Securities or of the proceeds thereof.


 


Section 6.04          
Trustee and Agents May Hold Securities; Collections, Etc. The Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee,
in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities with the same rights it would have if it
were not the Trustee or such agent and may otherwise deal with the Issuer and receive, collect, hold and retain collections from
the Issuer with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee or such agent.


 


Section 6.05    
       Moneys Held by Trustee. Subject to the provisions of Section 10.04 hereof, all moneys
received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they
were received, but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by mandatory provisions of law.
Neither the Trustee nor any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall be under any liability for interest on any moneys
received by it hereunder.


 






    -29- 


     


    

 


Section 6.06          
Compensation and Indemnification of Trustee and Its Prior Claim. The Issuer covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee
from time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, such reasonable compensation (which shall not be limited by any provision
of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) as the Issuer and the Trustee may from time to time agree
in writing and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Issuer covenants and agrees to pay or reimburse the Trustee
and each predecessor trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by or on
behalf of it in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses
and disbursements of its counsel and of all agents and other persons not regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement
or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith. The Issuer also covenants to indemnify the Trustee and each predecessor
trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on its part,
arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this Indenture or the trusts hereunder and its duties
hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against or investigating any claim of liability in the premises.
The obligations of the Issuer 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. 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, and the Securities are hereby subordinated to such senior claim.


 


Section 6.07          
Right of Trustee to Rely on Officer’s Certificate, Etc. Subject to Sections 6.01 and 6.02, 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 Officer’s 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.


 


Section 6.08          
Disqualification; Conflicting Interests. If the Trustee has or shall acquire any “conflicting interest”
within the meaning of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee and the Issuer shall in all respects comply with the
provisions of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act.


 


Section 6.09      
     Persons Eligible for Appointment as Trustee. The Trustee for each series of Securities hereunder
shall at all times be a corporation having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and shall be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of Section 310(a) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939. If such corporation publishes reports of
condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of a Federal, State or District of Columbia supervising
or examining authority, then, for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be
deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published.


 






    -30- 


     


    

 


Section 6.10         Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor Trustee. (a) The Trustee, or any trustee or trustees hereafter
appointed, may at any time resign with respect to one or more or all series of Securities by giving written notice of resignation
to the Issuer and by delivering notice of such resignation to the Holders of then Outstanding Securities of each series affected
at their addresses as they shall appear on the Security register. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Issuer shall promptly
appoint a successor trustee or trustees with respect to the applicable series by written instrument in duplicate, executed by authority
of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor
trustee or trustees. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed with respect to any series and have accepted appointment
within 30 days after the delivery of such notice of resignation, the resigning trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction
for the appointment of a successor trustee, or any Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security or Securities of
the applicable series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself or herself and all others similarly situated, petition
any such court for the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem
proper and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee.


 


(b)         In case at any time any of the following shall occur:


 


(i)          the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 with respect to
any series of Securities after written request therefor by the Issuer or by any Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder
of a Security or Securities of such series for at least six months; or


 


(ii)         the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 310(a) of the Trust Indenture Act of
1939 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Issuer or by any Securityholder; or


 


(iii)        the Trustee shall become incapable of acting with respect to any series of Securities, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or
insolvent, or a receiver or liquidator of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge
or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation;


 


then, in any such case, (A) the Issuer may remove the Trustee
with respect to the applicable series of Securities and appoint a successor trustee for such series by written instrument, in duplicate,
executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one
copy to the successor trustee, or, (B) subject to Section 315(e) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, any Securityholder who has
been a bona fide Holder of a Security or Securities of such series for at least six months may on behalf of itself and all others
similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor
trustee with respect to such series. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe,
remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee.


 


(c)           The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding may at
any time remove the Trustee with respect to Securities of such series and, with the consent of the Issuer, appoint a successor
trustee with respect to the Securities of such series by delivering to the Trustee so removed, to the successor trustee so appointed
and to the Issuer the evidence provided for in Section 7.01 of the action in that regard taken by the Securityholders.


 






    -31- 


     


    

 


(d)           Any resignation or removal of the Trustee with respect to any series and any appointment of a successor trustee with respect
to such series pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 6.10 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by
the successor trustee as provided in Section 6.11.


 


Section 6.11          
Acceptance of Appointment by Successor Trustee. Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 6.10 shall
execute and deliver to the Issuer and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon
the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee with respect to all or any applicable series shall become effective and such
successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all rights, powers, duties and obligations
with respect to such series of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as trustee for such series hereunder;
but, nevertheless, on the written request of the Issuer or of the successor trustee, upon payment of its charges then unpaid, the
trustee ceasing to act shall, subject to Section 10.04, pay over to the successor trustee all moneys at the time held by it hereunder
and shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.
Upon request of any such successor trustee, the Issuer shall execute any and all instruments in writing for more fully and certainly
vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights and powers. Any trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless,
retain a prior claim upon all property or funds held or collected by such trustee to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to
the provisions of Section 6.06.


 


If a successor trustee is appointed with
respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Issuer, the predecessor trustee and each successor trustee with
respect to the Securities of any applicable series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto which shall contain
such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the predecessor
trustee with respect to the Securities of any series as to which the predecessor trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested
in the predecessor trustee, and 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 under separate indentures.


 


No successor trustee with respect to any
series of Securities shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 6.11 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor
trustee shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 and eligible under the provisions
of Section 310(a) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939.


 


Upon acceptance of appointment by any successor
trustee as provided in this Section 6.11, the Issuer shall deliver notice thereof to the Holders of Securities of each series affected,
by delivering such notice to such Holders at their addresses as they shall appear on the Security register. If the acceptance of
appointment is substantially contemporaneous with the resignation, then the notice called for by the preceding sentence may be
combined with the notice called for by Section 6.10. If the Issuer fails to deliver such notice within ten days after acceptance
of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be given at the expense of the Issuer.


 






    -32- 


     


    

 


Section 6.12       
Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business of Trustee. Any corporation into which the Trustee may
be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation
to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the
successor of the Trustee hereunder; provided, that such corporation shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 310(b)
of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 and eligible under the provisions of Section 310(a) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, without
the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.


 


In case, at the time such successor to the
Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture, any of the Securities of any series shall have been authenticated
but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee and
deliver such Securities so authenticated; and, in case at that time any of the Securities of any series shall not have been authenticated,
any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Securities either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of
the successor trustee; and in all such cases such certificate shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Securities
of such series or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have; provided, that the right to
adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee or to authenticate Securities of any series in the name of any
predecessor trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation.


 


Section 6.13       
Preferential Collection of Claims Against the Issuer. The Trustee shall comply with Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture
Act of 1939, excluding any creditor relationship described in Section 311(b) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939. A Trustee who
has resigned or been removed shall be subject to Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 to the extent included therein.


 


ARTICLE 7

CONCERNING THE SECURITYHOLDERS


 


Section 7.01       
Evidence of Action Taken by Securityholders. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by a specified percentage in principal amount of the Securityholders
of any or all series may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such
specified percentage of Securityholders in person or by agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly
provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee. Proof of execution
of any instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject
to Sections 6.01 and 6.02) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Article.


 






    -33- 


     


    

 


Section 7.02       
Proof of Execution of Instruments and of Holding of Securities. Subject to Sections 6.01 and 6.02, the execution
of any instrument by a Holder or his agent or proxy may be proved in accordance with such reasonable rules and regulations as may
be prescribed by the Trustee or in such manner as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee. The holding of Securities shall be proved
by the Security register or by a certificate of the registrar thereof. The Issuer may set a record date for purposes of determining
the identity of Holders of any series entitled to vote or consent to any action referred to in Section 7.01, which record date
may be set at any time or from time to time by notice to the Trustee, for any date or dates (in the case of any adjournment or
reconsideration) not more than 60 days nor less than five days prior to the proposed date of such vote or consent, and thereafter,
notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, only Holders of such series of record on such record date shall be entitled to so
vote or give such consent or revoke such vote or consent. Notice of such record date may be given before or after any request for
any action referred to in Section 7.01 is made by the Issuer.


 


Section 7.03       
Holders to Be Treated as Owners. The Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or of the Trustee may deem and
treat the Person in whose name any Security shall be registered upon the Security register for such series as the absolute owner
of such Security (whether or not such 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 Security and for all other purposes; and neither the Issuer nor the Trustee nor any agent of the Issuer or the
Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All such payments so made to any such Person, or upon his or her order,
shall be valid, and, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for moneys payable.


 


Section 7.04       
Securities Owned by Issuer Deemed Not Outstanding. In determining whether the Holders of the requisite aggregate
principal amount of Outstanding Securities of any or all series have concurred in any direction, consent or waiver under this Indenture,
Securities that are owned by the Issuer or any other obligor on the Securities with respect to which such determination is being
made or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Issuer
or any other obligor on the Securities with respect to which such determination is being made shall be disregarded and deemed not
to be Outstanding for the purpose of any such determination, except that, for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall
be protected in relying on any such direction, consent or waiver, only Securities which the Trustee knows are so owned shall be
so disregarded. Securities so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as Outstanding if the pledgee establishes
to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to such Securities and that the pledgee is
not the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Securities or any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under
direct or indirect common control with the Issuer or any other obligor on the Securities. In case of a dispute as to such right,
the advice of counsel shall be full protection in respect of any decision made by the Trustee in accordance with such advice.


 


Section 7.05       
Right of Revocation of Action Taken. At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided
in Section 7.01, of the taking of any action by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of
any or all series, as the case may be, specified in this Indenture in connection with such action, any Holder of a Security the
serial number of which is shown by the evidence to be included among the serial numbers of the Securities the Holders of which
have consented to such action may, by filing written notice at the Corporate Trust Office and upon proof of holding as provided
in this Article, revoke such action so far as concerns such Security. Except as aforesaid, any such action taken by the Holder
of any Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of such Security and of
any Securities issued in exchange or substitution therefor or on registration of transfer thereof, irrespective of whether or not
any notation in regard thereto is made upon any such Security. Any action taken by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal
amount of the Securities of any or all series, as the case may be, specified in this Indenture in connection with such action shall
be conclusively binding upon the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of all the Securities affected by such action.

ARTICLE 8

SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES


 


Section 8.01          
Supplemental Indentures Without Consent of Securityholders. The Issuer, when authorized by a resolution of its Board
of Directors, and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time, without the consent of any of the Securityholders, enter into
an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto in form satisfactory to the Trustee for one or more of the following purposes:


 


(a)           to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge to the Trustee as security for the Securities of one or more series any
property or assets;


 


(b)           to evidence the succession of another Person to the Issuer, or successive successions, and the assumption by such successor
of the covenants, agreements and obligations of the Issuer pursuant to, or to otherwise comply with, Article 9;


 


(c)           to comply with the requirements of the Commission in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under
the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended;


 


(d)           to add to the covenants of the Issuer such further covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions as its Board of Directors
and the Trustee shall consider to be for the protection of the Holders of Securities, and to make the occurrence, or the occurrence
and continuance, of a default in any such additional covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions an Event of Default permitting
the enforcement of all or any of the several remedies provided in this Indenture as herein set forth; provided, that in
respect of any such additional covenant, restriction, condition or provision such supplemental indenture may provide for a particular
period of grace after default (which period may be shorter or longer than that allowed in the case of other defaults) or may provide
for an immediate enforcement upon such an Event of Default or may limit the remedies available to the Trustee upon such an Event
of Default or may limit the right of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series to
waive such an Event of Default;


 


(e)           to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, or to conform this Indenture or any supplemental indenture to the description
of the Securities set forth in any prospectus, prospectus supplement or offering memorandum related to such series of Securities;


 






    -35- 


     


    

 


(f)            to provide for or add guarantors for the Securities of one or more series;


 


(g)           to establish the form or terms of Securities of any series as permitted by Sections 2.01 and 2.03;


 


(h)           to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor trustee with respect to the Securities
of one or more series and to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate
the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one trustee, pursuant to the requirements of Section 6.11;


 


(i)            to add to, change or eliminate any of the provisions of this Indenture in respect of one or more series of Securities; provided
that any such addition, change or elimination shall (A) not (i) apply to any Security of any series created prior to the execution
of such supplemental indenture and entitled to the benefit of such provision nor (ii) modify the rights of the Holder of any such
Security with respect to such provision or (B) shall become effective only when there is no Security described in clause (A)(i)
Outstanding;


 


(j)            to make any change to the Securities of any series so long as no Securities of such series are Outstanding; and


 


(k)           to make any other change that does not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of the Securities in any material respect.


 


The Trustee shall join with the Issuer in
the execution of any such supplemental indenture, to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations which may be therein
contained and to accept the conveyance, transfer, assignment, mortgage or pledge of any property thereunder, but the Trustee shall
not be obligated to enter into any such supplemental indenture which affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities
under this Indenture or otherwise.


 


Any supplemental indenture authorized by
the provisions of this Section may be executed without the consent of the Holders of any of the Securities at the time Outstanding,
notwithstanding any of the provisions of Section 8.02.

Supplemental Indentures With Consent of Securityholders. With the consent (evidenced as provided in Article 7) of
the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of one or more
series affected by such supplemental indenture (voting as separate series), the Issuer, when authorized by a resolution of the
Board of Directors, and the Trustee may, from time to time and at any time, enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental
hereto 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 Holders of the Securities of each such consenting
series; provided, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each Security so affected,
(a) extend the final maturity of any Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of
payment of interest thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption thereof, or make the principal thereof (including any amount
in respect of original issue discount) or interest thereon payable in any currency other than that provided in the Securities or
in accordance with the terms thereof, or reduce the amount of the principal of an Original Issue Discount Security that would be
due and payable upon an acceleration of the maturity thereof pursuant to Section 5.01 or the amount thereof provable in bankruptcy
pursuant to Section 5.02, or (b) waive a continuing default in the payment of principal of any Security or interest thereon, other
than any such default in payment that resulted solely from such acceleration, or change a provision related to the waiver of past
defaults or impair the right of any Securityholder to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the Stated
Maturity or the date of redemption or conversion of any Security or, if the Securities provide therefor, any right of repayment
at the option of the Securityholder, or (c) modify any of the provisions of this section except to increase any required percentage
or to provide that certain other provisions cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each Security so
affected, or (d) make any change that adversely affects the right to convert or exchange any Security into or for Common Stock
or other securities, cash or other property in accordance with the terms of such Security or (e) reduce the aforesaid percentage
of Securities of any series, the consent of the Holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture or the consent
of Holders of which is required for any modification, amendment or waiver of compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture
or certain defaults hereunder and their consequences provided for in this Indenture.


 


A supplemental indenture which changes or
eliminates any covenant, Event of Default or other provision of this Indenture (1) that has been expressly included solely for
the benefit of one or more particular series of Securities, if any, or (2) which modifies the rights of Holders of Securities of
one or more series with respect to any covenant, Event of Default or provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under
this Indenture of the Holders of Securities of any other series with respect to which such covenant, Event of Default or other
provision has not been included or so modified.


 


Upon the request of the Issuer, accompanied
by a Board Resolution authorizing the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence
of the consent of Securityholders as aforesaid and other documents, if any, required by Section 7.01, the Trustee shall join with
the Issuer in the execution of such supplemental indenture unless such supplemental indenture affects the Trustee’s own rights,
duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated
to, enter into such supplemental indenture.


 


It shall not be necessary for the consent
of the Securityholders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be
sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof.


 


Promptly after the execution by the Issuer
and the Trustee of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall give a notice thereof
to the Holders of then Outstanding Securities of each series affected thereby, by delivering a notice thereof, and in each case
such notice shall set forth in general terms the substance of such supplemental indenture. Any failure of the Trustee to deliver
such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture.

Section 8.03       
Effect of Supplemental Indenture. Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions hereof,
this Indenture shall be and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith and the respective rights, limitations
of rights, obligations, duties and immunities under this Indenture of the Trustee, the Issuer and the Holders of Securities of
each series affected thereby shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications
and amendments, and all the terms and conditions of any such supplemental indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms
and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes.


 


Section 8.04       
Documents to Be Given to Trustee. The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Sections 6.01 and 6.02, may receive an
Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any supplemental indenture executed pursuant
to this Article 8 complies with the applicable provisions of this Indenture.


 


Section 8.05       
Notation on Securities in Respect of Supplemental Indentures. Securities of any series authenticated and delivered
after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article may bear a notation in form approved
by the Trustee for such series as to any matter provided for by such supplemental indenture or as to any action taken by Securityholders.
If the Issuer or the Trustee shall so determine, new Securities of any series so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the
Trustee and the Board of Directors, to any modification of this Indenture contained in any such supplemental indenture may be prepared
by the Issuer, authenticated by the Trustee and delivered in exchange for the Securities of such series then Outstanding.

wholly owned Subsidiary.

transfer or lease is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Issuer under
this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor Person had been named as the Issuer herein, and thereafter, except in
the case of a lease, the predecessor Person shall be relieved of all obligations and covenants under this Indenture and the Securities.


 


In case of any such consolidation, merger,
sale, lease or conveyance, such changes in phraseology and form (but not in substance) may be made in the Securities thereafter
to be issued as may be appropriate.

discharged (“Legal Defeasance”), such discharge to be effective on the date that the conditions set forth in
clauses (i) through (iv) and (vi) of Section 10.01(d) are satisfied, and thereafter the Issuer shall be deemed to have paid and

shall thereafter be deemed to be not “Outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration
of Securityholders (and any consequences thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be “Outstanding”
for all other purposes under this Indenture. For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the Outstanding
Securities of a series, the Issuer may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation

of any series or the date fixed for redemption or repayment of any such Security, or the last day on which a Holder has the right
to convert any Security, shall not be a Business Day, then payment of interest or principal, or any conversion, need not be made
on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date of maturity
or the date fixed for redemption or on such last day for conversion, and no interest shall accrue for the period after such date.

to 317, inclusive, of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, such incorporated provision shall control.

New York Law to Govern. This Indenture and each Security shall be deemed to be a contract under the laws of the State
of New York, and for all purposes shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of such State without regard to

shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability

ARTICLE 12

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES AND SINKING FUNDS


 


Section 12.01   
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 12.02   
Notice of Redemption; Partial Redemptions. Notice of redemption to the Holders of Securities of any series to be
redeemed as a whole or in part at the option of the Issuer shall be given by providing notice of such redemption at least 30 days
and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption to such Holders of Securities of such series at their last addresses
as they shall appear upon the Security register. Any notice which is given 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 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 principal amount of each Security of such series held by such Holder to be redeemed, the date fixed for redemption,
the redemption price, the place or places of payment, that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Securities,
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 and shall also specify, if applicable, the conversion price then in effect
and the date on which the right to convert such Securities or the portions thereof to be redeemed will expire. 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 in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued.


 






    -47- 


     


    

 


The notice of redemption of Securities of
any series to be redeemed at the option of the Issuer shall be given by the Issuer or, at the Issuer’s request, by the Trustee
in the name and at the expense of the Issuer.


 


On or before the redemption date specified
in the notice of redemption given as provided in this Section, the Issuer will deposit with the Trustee or with one or more paying
agents (or, if the Issuer is acting as its own paying agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 3.04)
an amount of money sufficient to redeem on the redemption date all the Securities of such series so called for redemption (other
than those Securities theretofore surrendered for conversion into Common Stock in accordance with their terms) at the appropriate
redemption price, together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption. If any Security called for redemption is converted
pursuant hereto and in accordance with the terms thereof, any money deposited with the Trustee or any paying agent or so segregated
and held in trust for the redemption of such Security shall be paid to the Issuer upon the Issuer’s request, or, if then
held by the Issuer, shall be discharged from such trust. The Issuer will deliver to the Trustee at least 10 days prior to the date
the notice required to be delivered to the Holders is to be sent (unless a shorter time period shall be acceptable to the Trustee)
an Officer’s Certificate (which need not comply with Section 11.05) stating the aggregate principal amount of Securities
to be redeemed. In case of a redemption at the election of the Issuer prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption,
the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, prior to the giving of any notice of redemption to Holders pursuant to this Section, an
Officer’s Certificate stating that such restriction has been complied with.


 


If less than all the Securities of a series
are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select, 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 multiples equal to the minimum authorized denomination for
Securities of such series or any multiple thereof. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer 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 of any series 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. If any Security selected for partial
redemption is surrendered for conversion after such selection, the converted portion of such Security shall be deemed (so far as
may be possible) to be the portion selected for redemption.


 


Section 12.03   
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 said date
(unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of such Securities at the redemption price, together with interest accrued to said
date) interest on the Securities or portions of Securities so called for redemption shall cease to accrue, and such Securities
shall cease from and after the date fixed for redemption to be convertible into Common Stock (to the extent otherwise convertible
in accordance with their terms), if applicable, and cease to be entitled to any benefit or security under this Indenture, and except
as provided in the paragraph below, 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, said Securities or the specified portions thereof shall be paid and redeemed by
the Issuer 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 to the Holders of such Securities
registered as such on the relevant record date subject to the terms and provisions of Sections 2.03 and 2.07 hereof.


 






    -48- 


     


    

 


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 and, if applicable, such Security shall remain convertible into Common Stock until the principal of such
Security shall have been paid or duly provided for.


 


Upon presentation of any Security redeemed
in part only, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or on the order of the Holder thereof,
at the expense of the Issuer, a new Security or Securities of such series, of authorized denominations, in principal amount equal
to the unredeemed portion of the Security so presented.


 


Section 12.04   
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 an Officer’s Certificate
delivered to the 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 Issuer 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 Issuer.


 


Section 12.05   
Mandatory and Optional Sinking Funds. 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 payment in
excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of the Securities of any series is herein referred to as an “optional
sinking fund payment”. The date on which a sinking fund payment is to be made is herein referred to as the “sinking
fund payment date”.


 


In lieu of making all or any part of any
mandatory sinking fund payment with respect to any series of Securities in cash, the Issuer may at its option (a) deliver to the
Trustee Securities of such series theretofore purchased or otherwise acquired (except upon redemption pursuant to the mandatory
sinking fund) by the Issuer or receive credit for Securities of such series (not previously so credited) theretofore purchased
or otherwise acquired (except as aforesaid) by the Issuer and delivered to the Trustee for cancellation pursuant to Section 2.10
and, if applicable, receive credit for Securities (not previously so credited) converted into Common Stock and so delivered to
the Trustee for cancellation, (b) receive credit for optional sinking fund payments (not previously so credited) made pursuant
to this Section, or (c) receive credit for Securities of such series (not previously so credited) redeemed by the Issuer through
any optional redemption provision contained in the terms of such series. Securities so delivered or credited shall be received
or credited by the Trustee at the sinking fund redemption price specified in such Securities.


 






    -49- 


     


    

 


On or before the 60th day next preceding
each sinking fund payment date for any series, the Issuer will deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate (which need
not contain the statements required by Section 11.05) (a) specifying the portion of the mandatory sinking fund payment to be satisfied
by payment of cash and the portion to be satisfied by credit of Securities of such series and the basis for such credit, (b) stating
that none of the Securities of such series for which credit will be taken has theretofore been so credited, (c) stating that no
defaults in the payment of interest or Events of Default with respect to such series have occurred (which have not been waived
or cured) and are continuing and (d) stating whether or not the Issuer intends to exercise its right to make an optional sinking
fund payment with respect to such series and, if so, specifying the amount of such optional sinking fund payment which the Issuer
intends to pay on or before the next succeeding sinking fund payment date. Any Securities of such series to be credited and required
to be delivered to the Trustee in order for the Issuer to be entitled to credit therefor as aforesaid which have not theretofore
been delivered to the Trustee shall be delivered for cancellation pursuant to Section 2.10 to the Trustee with such Officer’s
Certificate (or reasonably promptly thereafter if acceptable to the Trustee). Such Officer’s Certificate shall be irrevocable
and upon its receipt by the Trustee the Issuer shall become unconditionally obligated to make all the cash payments or payments
therein referred to, if any, on or before the next succeeding sinking fund payment date. Failure of the Issuer, on or before any
such 60th day, to deliver such Officer’s Certificate and Securities specified in this paragraph, if any, shall not constitute
a default but shall constitute, on and as of such date, the irrevocable election of the Issuer that the mandatory sinking fund
payment for such series due on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date shall be paid entirely in cash without the option
to deliver or credit Securities of such series in respect thereof.


 


If the sinking fund payment or payments
(mandatory or optional or both) to be made in cash on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date plus any unused balance of
any preceding sinking fund payments made in cash shall exceed $50,000 (or the equivalent thereof in any Foreign Currency or a lesser
sum in Dollars or in any Foreign Currency if the Issuer shall so request) with respect to the Securities of any particular series,
such cash shall be applied on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date to the redemption of Securities of such series at the
sinking fund redemption price together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption. If such amount shall be $50,000
(or the equivalent thereof in any Foreign Currency) or less and the Issuer makes no such request then it shall be carried over
until a sum in excess of $50,000 (or the equivalent thereof in any Foreign Currency) is available, which delay in accordance with
this paragraph shall not be a default or breach of the obligation to make such payment. The Trustee shall select, in the manner
provided in Section 12.02, for redemption on such sinking fund payment date a sufficient principal amount of Securities of such
series to which such cash may be applied, as nearly as may be, and shall (if requested in writing by the Issuer) inform the Issuer
of the serial numbers of the Securities of such series (or portions thereof) so selected. The Trustee, in the name and at the expense
of the Issuer (or the Issuer, if it shall so request the Trustee in writing), shall cause notice of redemption of the Securities
of such series to be given in substantially the manner provided in Section 12.02 (and with the effect provided in Section 12.03)
for the redemption of Securities of such series in part at the option of the Issuer. The amount of any sinking fund payments not
so applied or allocated to the redemption of Securities of such series shall be added to the next cash sinking fund payment for
such series and, together with such payment, shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of this Section. Any and all sinking
fund moneys held on the stated maturity date of the Securities of any particular series (or earlier, if such maturity is accelerated),
which are not held for the payment or redemption of particular Securities of such series, shall be applied, together with other
moneys, if necessary, sufficient for the purpose, to the payment of the principal of, and interest on, the Securities of such series
at maturity. The Issuer’s obligation to make a mandatory or optional sinking fund payment shall automatically be reduced
by an amount equal to the sinking fund redemption price allocable to any Securities or portions thereof called for redemption pursuant
to the preceding paragraph on any sinking fund payment date and converted into Common Stock in accordance with the terms of such
Securities; provided that, if the Trustee is not the conversion agent for the Securities, the Issuer or such conversion
agent shall give the Trustee written notice on or prior to the date fixed for redemption of the principal amount of Securities
or portions thereof so converted.


 






    -50- 


     


    

 


On or before each sinking fund payment date,
the Issuer shall pay to the Trustee in cash or shall otherwise provide for the payment of all interest accrued to the date fixed
for redemption on Securities to be redeemed on such sinking fund payment date.


 


The Trustee shall not redeem or cause to
be redeemed any Securities of a series with sinking fund moneys or give any notice of redemption of Securities for such series
by operation of the sinking fund during the continuance of a default in payment of interest on such Securities or of any Event
of Default except that, where providing notice of redemption of any Securities shall theretofore have been made, the Trustee shall
redeem or cause to be redeemed such Securities, provided that it shall have received from the Issuer a sum sufficient for such
redemption. Except as aforesaid, any moneys in the sinking fund for such series at the time when any such default or Event of Default
shall occur, and any moneys thereafter paid into the sinking fund, shall, during the continuance of such default or Event of Default,
be deemed to have been collected under Article 5 and held for the payment of all such Securities. In case such Event of Default
shall have been waived as provided in Section 5.10, or the default cured on or before the 60th day preceding the sinking fund payment
date in any year, such moneys shall thereafter be applied on such sinking fund payment date in accordance with this Section to
the redemption of such Securities.


 


ARTICLE 13

SUBORDINATION OF SECURITIES


 


Section 13.01   
Agreement of Subordination. The Issuer covenants and agrees, and each holder of Securities issued hereunder by its
acceptance thereof likewise covenants and agrees, that all Securities shall be issued subject to the provisions of this Article
13; and each Securityholder, whether upon original issue or upon transfer or assignment thereof, accepts and agrees to be bound
by such provisions.


 






    -51- 


     


    

 


The payment of the principal of and interest
on all Securities issued hereunder shall, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, be subordinated and subject in
right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer, whether outstanding at the date of this
Indenture or thereafter incurred.


 


The provisions of this Article 13 define
the subordination of the Securities, as obligations of the Issuer, with respect to Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer.


 


No provision of this Article 13 shall prevent
the occurrence of any default or Event of Default hereunder.


 


Section 13.02   
Payments to Securityholders. In the event and during the continuation of any default in the payment of principal,
premium, interest or any other payment due on any Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer continuing beyond the period of grace, if any,
specified in the instrument or lease evidencing such Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer, then, unless and until such default shall
have been cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist, no payment shall be made by the Issuer with respect to the principal of
or interest on the Securities, except sinking fund obligations satisfied by credit of acquired Securities under Section 12.05 prior
to the happening of such default and payments made pursuant to Article 10 hereof from monies deposited with the Trustee pursuant
thereto prior to the happening of such default.


 


Upon any payment by the Issuer, or distribution
of assets of the Issuer of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to creditors upon any dissolution or
winding-up or liquidation or reorganization of the Issuer, whether voluntary or involuntary or in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership
or other proceedings, all amounts due or to become due upon all Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer shall first be paid in full,
or payment thereof provided for in money in accordance with its terms, before any payment is made on account of the principal or
interest on the Securities (except payments made pursuant to Article 10 hereof from monies deposited with the Trustee pursuant
thereto prior to the happening of such dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization); and upon any such dissolution or
winding-up or liquidation or reorganization any payment by the Issuer, or distribution of assets of the Issuer of any kind or character,
whether in cash, property or securities, to which the holders of the Securities or the Trustee would be entitled, except for the
provisions of this Article 13, shall (except as aforesaid) be paid by the Issuer or by any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating
trustee, agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, or by the holders of the Securities or by the Trustee under
this Indenture if received by them or it, directly to the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer (pro rata to such holders
on the basis of the respective amounts of Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer held by such holders, as calculated by the Issuer)
or their representative or representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any instruments
evidencing any Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, to the extent
necessary to pay all Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer in full, in money or money’s worth, after giving effect to any concurrent
payment or distribution to or for the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer, before any payment or distribution is made
to the holders of the Securities or to the Trustee.


 






    -52- 


     


    

 


In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing,
any payment or distribution of assets of the Issuer of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, prohibited
by the foregoing, shall be received by the Trustee or the holders of the Securities before all Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer
is paid in full, or provision is made for such payment in money in accordance with its terms, such payment or distribution shall
be held in trust for the benefit of and shall be paid over or delivered to the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer or
their representative or representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing
any Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, as calculated by the Issuer,
for application to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay all Senior
Indebtedness of the Issuer in full in money in accordance with its terms, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution
to or for the holders of such Senior Indebtedness.


 


For purposes of this Article 13, the words,
 “cash, property or securities” shall not be deemed to include shares of stock of the Issuer as reorganized or readjusted,
or securities of the Issuer or any other corporation provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment, the payment of which
is subordinated at least to the extent provided in this Article 13 with respect to the Securities to the payment of all Senior
Indebtedness of the Issuer which may at the time be outstanding; provided that (i) the Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer is assumed
by the new corporation, if any, resulting from any such reorganization or readjustment, and (ii) the rights of the holders of the
Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer (other than leases) and of leases which are assumed are not, without the consent of such holders,
altered by such reorganization or readjustment.


 


The consolidation of the Issuer with, or
the merger of the Issuer into, another Person or the liquidation or dissolution of the Issuer following the conveyance or transfer
of its property as an entirety, or substantially as an entirety, to another Person upon the terms and conditions provided for in
Article 9 hereof shall not be deemed a dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization for the purposes of this Section
13.02 if such other Person shall, as a part of such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer, comply with the conditions stated
in Article 9 hereof.


 


Section 13.03   
Subrogation of Securities. Subject to the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer, the rights of
the holders of the Securities shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer to receive
payments or distributions of cash, property or securities of the Issuer applicable to the Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer until
the principal of and interest on the Securities shall be paid in full; and, for the purposes of such subrogation, no payments or
distributions to or for the benefit of the holders of the Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer or the Trustee of any cash, property
or securities to which the holders of the Securities or the Trustee would be entitled except for the provisions of this Article
13, shall, as between the Issuer, its creditors other than holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer, and the holders of the
Securities, be deemed to be a payment by the Issuer to or on account of the Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer. It is understood
that the provisions of this Article 13 are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the holders
of the Securities, on the one hand, and the holders of the Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer, on the other hand.


 






    -53- 


     


    

 


Nothing contained in this Article 13 or
elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities is intended to or shall impair, as between the Issuer, its creditors other than
the holders of its Senior Indebtedness, and the holders of the Securities, the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and
unconditional, to pay to the holders of the Securities the principal of and interest on the Securities as and when the same shall
become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights of the holders of
the Securities and creditors of the Issuer other than the holders of its Senior Indebtedness, nor shall anything herein or therein
prevent the Trustee or the holder of any Security from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default
under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article 13 of the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer
in respect of cash, property or securities of the Issuer received upon the exercise of any such remedy.


 


Upon any payment or distribution of assets
of the Issuer referred to in this Article 13, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 6.01, and the holders of the Securities
shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such dissolution, winding-up,
liquidation or reorganization proceedings are pending, or a certificate of the receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee,
agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the holders of the Securities, for the
purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and other
indebtedness of the Issuer, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other
facts pertinent thereto or to this Article 13.


 


Section 13.04   
Authorization by Securityholders. Each holder of a Security by its acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the
Trustee on its behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided in this Article
13 appoints the Trustee its attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.


 


Section 13.05   
Notice to Trustee. The Issuer shall give prompt written notice to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee of any fact
known to the Issuer which would prohibit the making of any payment of monies to or by the Trustee in respect of the Securities
pursuant to the provisions of this Article 13. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article 13 or any other provision of this
Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts which would prohibit the making of any
payment of monies to or by the Trustee in respect of the Securities pursuant to the provisions of this Article 13, unless and until
a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee from
the Issuer or a holder or holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer or from any trustee therefor; and before the receipt of
any such written notice, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 6.01, shall be entitled in all respects to assume that
no such facts exist; provided that if on a date not fewer than three Business Days prior to the date upon which by the terms
hereof any such monies may become payable for any purpose (including, without limitation, the payment of the principal of or interest
on any Security) the Trustee shall not have received, with respect to such monies, the notice provided for in this Section 13.05,
then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such
monies and to apply the same to the purpose for which they were received, and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary
which may be received by it on or after such prior date.


 






    -54- 


     


    

 


The Trustee conclusively shall be entitled
to rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a Person representing himself to be a holder of Senior Indebtedness of the
Issuer (or a trustee on behalf of such holder) to establish that such notice has been given by a holder of Senior Indebtedness
of the Issuer or a trustee on behalf of any such holder or holders. In the event that the Trustee determines in good faith that
further evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer to participate
in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article 13, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable
satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer held by such Person, the extent to which such
Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under
this Article 13, and if such evidence is not furnished the Trustee may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination
as to the right of such Person to receive such payment.


 


Section 13.06   
Trustee’s Relation to Senior Indebtedness. The Trustee in its individual capacity shall be entitled to all
the rights set forth in this Article 13 in respect of any Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer at any time held by it, to the same
extent as any other holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer and nothing elsewhere in this Indenture shall deprive the Trustee
of any of its rights as such holder.


 


With respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness
of the Issuer, the Trustee undertakes to perform or to observe only such of its covenants and obligations as are specifically set
forth in this Article 13, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer
shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders
of Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer and the Trustee shall not be liable to any holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer if
it shall pay over or deliver to holders of Securities, the Issuer or any other Person money or assets to which any holder of Senior
Indebtedness of the Issuer shall be entitled by virtue of this Article 13 or otherwise.


 


Section 13.07   
No Impairment of Subordination. No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer
to enforce subordination as herein provided shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act
on the part of the Issuer or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder, or by any noncompliance by the Issuer
with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof which any such holder may have
or otherwise be charged with.


 


Section 13.08   
Rights of Trustee. Nothing in this Article 13 shall apply to claims of or payments to, the Trustee pursuant to Section
6.06.
