portions thereof; provided that, if such Securities are to be redeemed, notice of such redemption has been duly given pursuant to this Indenture or provision therefor satisfactory to the Trustee has been made; and 

(iii) such Securities in exchange for or in lieu of which other Securities have been authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Indenture,

owned by the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or any Affiliate of the Company or such other obligor shall be so disregarded. Securities so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as Outstanding if the pledgee

obligor. 
 “Paying Agent” means any Person authorized by the Company to pay the principal of (and premium, if any) or

authorize one or more Persons (including the Company) to act as Paying Agent in addition to or in place of the Trustee with respect to any series of Securities issued under this Indenture. 

“Person” means any individual, corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, association, joint-stock

Payment” means with respect to any series of Securities issued hereunder the city or political subdivision so designated with respect to the series of Securities in question in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01. 

“Predecessor Securities” of any particular Security means every previous Security evidencing all or a portion of the same
debt as that evidenced by such particular Security; and, for the purposes of this definition, any Security authenticated and delivered under Section 3.06 in lieu of a mutilated, lost, destroyed or stolen Security shall be deemed to evidence the
same debt as the mutilated, lost, destroyed or stolen Security. 
 “Principal Property” means any manufacturing plant or
warehouse, together with the land upon which it is erected and fixtures comprising a part thereof, owned by the Company or any Material Subsidiary and located in the United States, the gross book value of which on the date as of which the
determination is being made is an amount which exceeds 2% of Consolidated Assets, but not including any property financed through the issuance of any tax exempt governmental obligation, or any such manufacturing plant or warehouse or any portion
thereof or any such fixture (together with the land upon which it is erected and fixtures comprising a part thereof) which, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, is not of material importance to the total business conducted by the Company and
its Subsidiaries, considered as a single enterprise.

SECTION 1.04 ACTS OF SECURITYHOLDERS. 

(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this
Indenture to be made, given or taken by Securityholders or Securityholders of any series may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Securityholders in person or by an agent duly
appointed in writing or may be embodied in or evidenced 

  
 9 








 
by an electronic transmission which identifies the documents containing the proposal on which such consent is requested and certifies such Securityholders’ consent thereto and agreement to
be bound thereby; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. If any Securities
are Original Issue Discount Securities, then for the purposes of determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Securities have taken any action as herein described, the principal amount of such Original Issue Discount
Securities shall be deemed to be the amount of the principal thereof that would be due and payable upon a declaration of acceleration of the Maturity thereof as of the date the taking of such action by the Holders of such requisite principal amount
is evidenced to the Trustee as provided in the first sentence of this Section 1.04(a). Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the
Securityholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.01) conclusive in favor
of the Trustee and the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section. 
 (b) The fact and date of the execution by
any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness to such execution or by the certificate of any notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual
signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by an officer of a corporation or a member of a partnership, on behalf of such corporation or partnership, such certificate or affidavit shall also
constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient. 

(c) The ownership of Securities shall be proved by the Security Register. 

(d) If the Company shall solicit from the Holders any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or
other action, the Company may, at its option, by Board Resolution, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, but the
Company shall have no obligation to do so. Such record date shall be the later of 10 days prior to the first solicitation of such action or the date of the most recent list of Holders furnished to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.01. If such a
record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action may be given before or after the record date, but only the Holders of record at the close of business on the record date shall be deemed to
be Holders for the purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of Securities outstanding have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, and
for that purpose the Securities outstanding shall be computed as of the record date; provided that no such authorization, agreement or consent by the Holders on the record date shall be deemed 

  
 10 








 
effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than six months after the record date, and that no such authorization, agreement or consent may
be amended, withdrawn or revoked once given by a Holder, unless the Company shall provide for such amendment, withdrawal or revocation in conjunction with such solicitation of authorizations, agreements or consents or unless and to the extent
required by applicable law. 
 (e) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by
the Holder of any Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Security and the Holder of every Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done or suffered to
be done by the Trustee or the Company in reliance thereon whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security. 
 SECTION 1.05
NOTICES, ETC., TO TRUSTEE AND COMPANY. 
 Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, election, waiver or Act of Securityholders or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with: 

(1) the Trustee by any Securityholder or by the Company shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given,
furnished or filed in writing to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, Attention: Corporate Trust Administration; or 

(2) the Company by the Trustee or by any Securityholder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (except as provided in
Section 5.01(4) or, in the case of a request for repayment, as specified in the Security carrying the right to repayment) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Company addressed to it at 2941 Fairview Park Drive,
Suite 100, Falls Church, Virginia 22042-4513, Attention: Treasurer, or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company. 

The Trustee agrees to accept and act upon instructions or directions pursuant to this Indenture sent by unsecured email, .pdf,
facsimile transmission or other similar unsecured electronic methods; provided, however, that the Trustee shall have received an incumbency certificate listing persons designated to give such instructions or directions and containing specimen
signatures of such designated persons, which such incumbency certificate shall be amended and replaced whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing. 

If the Issuer elects to give the Trustee e-mail or facsimile instructions (or instructions by a similar electronic method) and
the Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon such instructions, the Trustee’s understanding of such instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly
from the Trustee’s reliance upon and compliance with such instructions notwithstanding such instructions conflict or are inconsistent with a 

  
 11 








 
subsequent written instruction. The Issuer agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to the Trustee, including without
limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk or interception and misuse by third parties. 
 SECTION 1.06
NOTICES TO SECURITYHOLDERS; WAIVER. 
 Where this Indenture or any Security
provides for notice of any event or reports to Securityholders, such notice or report shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein or in such Security expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, or by email in
..pdf format to each Securityholder affected by such event, at his address or email address of such Securityholder as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the
giving of such notice or report. In any case where notice to Securityholders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Securityholder shall affect the sufficiency of such
notice with respect to other Securityholders. Where this Indenture or any Security provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such
waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Securityholders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver. 

In case, by reason of the suspension of regular mail service as a result of a strike, work stoppage or otherwise, it shall be impractical to
mail notice of any event to any Securityholder when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any method of notification as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee and the Company shall be deemed to be a
sufficient giving of such notice. 
 SECTION 1.07 CONFLICT WITH TRUST INDENTURE
ACT. 
 If and to the extent that any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with the duties imposed by, or with
another provision (an “incorporated provision”) included in this Indenture by operation of, any of Sections 310 to 318, inclusive, of the Trust Indenture Act, such imposed duties or incorporated provision shall control. 

SECTION 1.08 EFFECT OF HEADINGS AND TABLE OF
CONTENTS. 
 The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not
affect the construction hereof. 
 SECTION 1.09 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. 

All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Company and the Guarantors shall bind their respective successors and assigns, whether so
expressed or not; provided; however, that successors and assigns of any Guarantor shall not be so bound to the extent such Guarantor has been released from its Guarantee pursuant to the terms of this Indenture. 

  
 12 








 SECTION 1.10 SEPARABILITY CLAUSE. 

In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Securities shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 
 SECTION 1.11 BENEFITS
OF INDENTURE.  
 Nothing in this Indenture or in any Securities, express or implied, shall give to
any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, any Authenticating Agent or Paying Agent, the Security Registrar and the Holders of Securities (or such of them as may be affected thereby), any benefit or any legal or
equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture. 
 SECTION 1.12 GOVERNING LAW. 

This Indenture and the Securities shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to
conflicts of laws principles thereof. 
 SECTION 1.13 COUNTERPARTS. 

This instrument may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such
counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. The exchange of copies of this Indenture and of signature pages by facsimile or electronic format (i.e. “pdf” or “tif”) transmission shall constitute
effective execution and delivery of this Indenture as to the parties hereto and may be used in lieu of the original Indenture for all purposes. Signatures of the parties hereto transmitted by facsimile or electronic format (i.e. “pdf” or
“tif”) shall be deemed to be their original signatures for all purposes. 
 SECTION 1.14 LEGAL HOLIDAYS.

 In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Repayment Date or Stated Maturity of any Security is not a Business Day
at any Place of Payment or the city in which the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee is located, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or the Securities, other than a provision in Securities of any series, or in the Board
Resolution, supplemental indenture or Officers’ Certificate that establishes the terms of such Securities, that specifically states that such provision shall apply in lieu of this Section) payment of interest or principal (and premium, if any)
need not be made at such Place of Payment on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date, Repayment Date, or at the
Stated Maturity, and such extension of time shall in such case be excluded in the computation of interest, if any, accruing on such Security. 

  
 13 








 SECTION 1.15 NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS.

 No past, present or future director, officer, stockholder or employee, as such, of the Company or any of its Affiliates or any
successor corporation shall have any liability for any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Company or any Guarantor under this Indenture or any indenture supplemental hereto, or in the Securities, or for any claim based on, in respect of or by
reason of such obligations, covenants or agreements or their creation. Each Securityholder by accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the execution and delivery of this
Indenture and the issue of the Securities. 
 SECTION 1.16 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

 EACH OF THE COMPANY, EACH GUARANTOR, THE TRUSTEE AND EACH SECURITYHOLDER BY ITS ACCEPTANCE THEREFOF, HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS INDENTURE, THE SECURITIES OR THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. 

SECTION 1.17 FORCE MAJEURE. 

In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of
or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and
interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services; it being understood that the Trustee shall use reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to
resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances. 
 SECTION 1.18 FATCA. 

In order to comply with applicable tax laws (inclusive of rules, regulations, directives and published interpretations promulgated by competent
authorities) in effect from time to time (“Applicable Tax Law”) that any foreign financial institution, issuer, Trustee, Paying Agent, Holder or other institution is or has agreed to be subject to related to the Indenture and the
Securities, the Company agrees (1) upon reasonable written request of the Trustee to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide to the Trustee sufficient information about Holders or other applicable parties and/or transactions related to
this Indenture and the Securities (including any modification to the terms of such transactions) so the Trustee can determine whether it has tax-related obligations under Applicable Tax Law; and (2) that the Trustee shall be entitled to make,
to the extent it is required to do so under Applicable Tax Law, any withholding or deduction in respect of taxes from payments under the Indenture for which the Trustee shall not have any liability. The terms of this Section 1.18 shall survive
the termination of this Indenture.

FORM OF A GLOBAL SECURITY. 
 (a) If the
Company shall establish pursuant to Sections 2.02 and 3.01 that the Securities of a particular series are to be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Securities, then the Company shall execute and the Trustee or its agent
shall, in accordance with Section 3.03 and the Company Order delivered to the Trustee or its agent thereunder, authenticate and hold in custody on behalf of the Depository, such Global Security or Securities, which (i) shall represent, and
shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of, the Outstanding Securities of such series to be represented by such Global Security or Securities, or such portion thereof as the Company shall specify in a Company Order,
(ii) shall be registered in the name of the Depository for such Global Security or Securities or its nominee, (iii) shall be delivered by the Trustee or its agent to the Depository or pursuant to the Depository’s instruction and
(iv) shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect: “Unless this certificate is presented by an authorized representative of the Depository to Issuer or its agent for registration of transfer, exchange, or payment, and any
certificate issued is registered in the name of the nominee of the Depository or in such other name as is requested by an authorized representative of the Depository (and any payment is made to the nominee of the Depository or to such other entity
as is requested by an authorized representative of the Depository), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE, OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL inasmuch as the registered owner hereof, the nominee of the Depository, has an
interest herein.” 
 (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.04 or of Section 3.05, and
subject to the provisions of paragraph (c) below, unless the terms of a Global Security expressly permit such Global Security to be exchanged in whole or in part for individual Securities, a Global Security may be transferred, in whole but not
in part and in the manner provided in Section 3.05, only to a nominee of the Depository for such Global Security, or to the Depository, or a successor Depository for such Global Security selected or approved by the Company, or to a nominee of
such successor Depository. 
 (c) (i) If at any time the Depository for a Global Security notifies the Company that it is
unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for such Global Security or if at any time the Depository for the Securities for such series shall no longer 

  
 16 








 
be eligible or in good standing under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or other applicable statute or regulation, the Company shall appoint a successor Depository with respect to
such Global Security. If a successor Depository for such Global Security is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the Company will execute, and the Trustee or its
agent, upon receipt of a Company Request for the authentication and delivery of individual Securities of such series in exchange for such Global Security, will authenticate and deliver, individual Securities of such series of like tenor and terms in
an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security in exchange for such Global Security. 

(ii) The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that the Securities of any series or portion thereof
issued or issuable in the form of one or more Global Securities shall no longer be represented by such Global Security or Securities. In such event the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Request for the authentication
and delivery of individual Securities of such series in exchange in whole or in part for such Global Security, will authenticate and deliver individual Securities of such series of like tenor and terms in definitive form in an aggregate principal
amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Security or Securities representing such series or portion thereof in exchange for such Global Security or Securities. 

(iii) If specified by the Company pursuant to Sections 2.02 and 3.02 with respect to Securities issued or issuable in the form
of a Global Security, the Depository for such Global Security may surrender such Global Security in exchange in whole or in part for individual Securities of such series of like tenor and terms in definitive form on such terms as are acceptable to
the Company and such Depository. Thereupon the Company shall execute, and the Trustee or its agent shall authenticate and deliver, without service charge, (1) to each Person specified by such Depository a new Security or Securities of the same
series of like tenor and terms and of any authorized denomination as requested by such Person in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for such Person’s beneficial interest as specified by such Depository in the Global Security;
and (2) to such Depository a new Global Security of like tenor and terms and in an authorized denomination equal to the difference, if any, between the principal amount of the surrendered Global Security and the aggregate principal amount of
Securities delivered to Holders thereof. 
 (iv) In any exchange provided for in any of the preceding three paragraphs, the
Company will execute and the Trustee or its agent will authenticate and deliver individual Securities in definitive registered form in authorized denominations. Upon the exchange of the entire principal amount of a Global Security for individual
Securities, such Global Security shall be canceled by the Trustee or its agent. Except as provided in the preceding paragraph, Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security pursuant to this Section shall be registered in such names and in such
authorized denominations as the Depository for such Global Security, pursuant to instructions from its direct or 

  
 17 








 
indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee or the Security Registrar. The Trustee or the Security Registrar shall deliver at its Corporate Trust Office such Securities to the
Persons in whose names such Securities are so registered.

provisions of Article 10 or Section 1.01 or any definitions relating to such Article that would otherwise be applicable to the Securities of such series; 

(17) if Section 4.03 of this Indenture shall not be applicable to the Securities of such series and if Section 4.03
shall be applicable to any covenant or Event 

  
 19 








 
of Default established in or pursuant to a Board Resolution or in a supplemental indenture as described above that has not already been established herein; 

(18) if the Securities of such series shall be issued in whole or in part in the form of a Global Security or Securities, the
terms and conditions, if any, upon which such Global Security or Securities may be exchanged in whole or in part for other individual Securities; and the Depository for such Global Security or Securities; and 

(19) any other terms of such series; 

all upon such terms as may be determined in or pursuant to such Board Resolution or supplemental indenture with respect to such series. 

The form of the Securities of each series shall be established pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture in or pursuant to the Board
Resolution or in the supplemental indenture creating such series. The Securities of each series shall be distinguished from the Securities of each other series in such manner, reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, as the Board of Directors may
determine. 
 Unless otherwise provided with respect to Securities of a particular series, the Securities of any series may only be issuable
in registered form, without coupons. 
 Any terms or provisions in respect of the Securities of any series issued under this Indenture may
be determined pursuant to this Section by providing for the method by which such terms or provisions shall be determined. 
 SECTION 3.02
DENOMINATIONS. 
 The Securities of each series shall be issuable in such denominations and currency as shall be provided
in the provisions of this Indenture or in or pursuant to the Board Resolution or the supplemental indenture creating such series. In the absence of any such provisions with respect to the Securities of any series, the Securities of that series shall
be issuable only in fully registered form in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. 
 SECTION 3.03 EXECUTION,
AUTHENTICATION, DELIVERY AND DATING. 
 The Securities shall be executed on
behalf of the Company by any one of the following: its Chairman of the Board, any Vice Chairman of the Board, its Chief Executive Officer, its President, its Chief Financial Officer, one of its Vice Presidents, its Treasurer or one of its Assistant
Treasurers. The signature of any such officer on the Securities may be manual, facsimile, in the form of a .pdf attachment or by other means of electronic transmission showing signature. 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. 

Securities bearing the signature of any individual who was at any time the proper officer of the Company shall bind the Company,
notwithstanding that such individual has ceased 

  
 20 








 
to hold such office prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or did not hold such office at the date of such Securities. 

At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities executed by the
Company to the Trustee for authentication; and the Trustee shall, upon Company Order, authenticate and deliver such Securities as in this Indenture provided and not otherwise. 

Prior to any such authentication and delivery, and unless otherwise provided for or required under any supplemental indenture, the Trustee
shall be provided with, in addition to any Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel required to be furnished to the Trustee pursuant to Section 1.02, and the Board Resolution and any certificate relating to the issuance of the series
of Securities required to be furnished pursuant to Section 2.02, an Opinion of Counsel stating that: 
 (1) that such
form or forms of Securities have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; 
 (2) that the terms
of such Securities have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and; 
 (3) that such
Securities, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable
in accordance with their terms, subject to (A) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, (B) general equitable principles, and
(C) an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. 
 The Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Securities if the
issue thereof will adversely affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture. 
 Unless
otherwise provided in the form of Security for any series, all Securities shall be dated the date of their authentication. 
 No Security
shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual or
facsimile signature, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been
authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 3.09, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be
deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. 

  
 21 








 SECTION 3.04 TEMPORARY SECURITIES. 

Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and, upon receipt of the documents required by
Section 3.03, together with a Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the
tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such
Securities. 
 If temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities of such series to be prepared
without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities, the temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities of such series upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such series at the
office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment, without charge to the Holder; and upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange
therefor a like principal amount of definitive Securities of such series of authorized denominations and of like tenor and terms. Until so exchanged the temporary Securities of such series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under
this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series. 
 SECTION 3.05 REGISTRATION, TRANSFER AND
EXCHANGE. 
 The Company shall keep or cause to be kept a register or registers (herein sometimes referred to as the
“Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Securities, or of Securities of a particular series, and of transfers of Securities or of
Securities of such series. Any such register shall be in written form or in any other form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable time. At all reasonable times the information contained in such register or registers shall
be available for inspection by the Trustee at the office or agency to be maintained by the Company as provided in Section 10.02. There shall be only one Security Register per series of Securities. 

Subject to Section 2.04, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of any series at the office or agency of the Company
maintained for such purpose in a Place of Payment, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of such series of any authorized
denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount and Stated Maturity and of like tenor and terms. 
 Subject to Section 2.04, at the
option of the Holder, Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Securities of such series of any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount and Stated Maturity and of like tenor and terms, upon surrender of the
Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Securityholder making the exchange is
entitled to receive. 

  
 22 








 All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the
valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 

Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly
endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee, duly executed by the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing. 

Unless otherwise provided in the Security to be registered for transfer or exchange, no service charge shall be made on any Securityholder for
any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may (unless otherwise provided in such Security) require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 3.04, 9.06 or 11.07 not involving any transfer. 

The Company shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Security of any series during a period beginning
at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities of such series selected for redemption under Section 11.03 and ending at the close of business on the date of such mailing, or (ii) to
register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part. 
 None of the Company, the Trustee, any
agent of the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Security Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Security or for
maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. 
 SECTION 3.06 MUTILATED,
DESTROYED, LOST AND STOLEN SECURITIES. 
 If (i) any
mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, or the Company and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security, and (ii) there is delivered to the Company and the Trustee such Security
or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of actual notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its written
request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of like tenor, series, Stated Maturity and principal amount, bearing a number not
contemporaneously outstanding. 
 In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and
payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security. 
 Upon the issuance of any new Security
under this Section, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may 

  
 23 








 
be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. 

Every new Security issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional
contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other
Securities of the same series duly issued hereunder. 
 The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent
lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities. 
 SECTION 3.07
PAYMENT OF INTEREST; INTEREST RIGHTS PRESERVED. 

Unless otherwise provided with respect to such Security pursuant to Section 3.01, interest on any Security which is payable, and is
punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest.

 Any interest on any Security which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein
called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of his having been such Holder; and, except as hereinafter provided, such Defaulted Interest may be
paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in Clause (1) or Clause (2) below: 
 (1) The
Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names any such Securities (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such
Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each such Security and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same
time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of
the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this Clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such
Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 nor less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify
the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first class postage prepaid, to the
Holder of each such Security at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor


  
 24 








 
having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names such Securities (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of
business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following Clause (2). 
 (2) The Company
may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after
notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this Clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. 

If any installment of interest, the Stated Maturity of which is on or prior to the Redemption Date for any Security called for redemption
pursuant to Article 11, is not paid or duly provided for on or prior to the Redemption Date in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section, such interest shall be payable as part of the Redemption Price of such Securities. 

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in
exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security. 

Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture or the Securities of any particular series pursuant to the provisions of this
Indenture, at the option of the Company, interest in Securities may be paid by mailing a check to the address of the Person entitled thereto at such address as shall appear in the Security Register or by wire transfer to an account maintained by the
payee with a bank located in the United States. 
 SECTION 3.08 PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. 

The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Security is registered as the owner
of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any), and (subject to Section 3.07) interest on, such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither
the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 None of the Company,
the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Security Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in a Global Security or for maintaining,
supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. 
 SECTION 3.09 CANCELLATION. 

All Securities surrendered for payment, conversion, redemption, registration of transfer, exchange or credit against a sinking fund shall, if
surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and, if not already canceled, shall be promptly canceled 

  
 25 








 
by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner
whatsoever, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee. No Security shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this
Indenture. The Trustee shall dispose of all canceled Securities in accordance with its standard procedures. 
 SECTION 3.10
COMPUTATION OF INTEREST. 
 Unless otherwise provided as contemplated in Section 3.01,
interest on the Securities shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 

SECTION 3.11 DELAYED ISSUANCE OF SECURITIES. 

Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, if all Securities of a series are not to be originally issued at one time, it shall not be
necessary for the Company to deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate, Board Resolution, supplemental indenture, Opinion of Counsel or Company Order otherwise required pursuant to Sections 1.02, 2.02, 3.01 and 3.03 at or prior to the
time of authentication of each Security of such series if such documents are delivered to the Trustee or its agent at or prior to the authentication upon original issuance of the first Security of such series to be issued; provided that any
subsequent request by the Company to the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series upon original issuance shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Company that as of the date of such request, the statements made in the
Officers’ Certificate or other certificates delivered pursuant to Sections 1.02 and 2.02 shall be true and correct as if made on such date. 

A Company Order, Officers’ Certificate or Board Resolution or supplemental indenture delivered by the Company to the Trustee in the
circumstances set forth in the preceding paragraph may provide that Securities which are the subject thereof will be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee or its agent on original issue from time to time in the aggregate principal amount, if
any, established for such series pursuant to such procedures acceptable to the Trustee as may be specified from time to time by Company Order upon the telephonic, electronic or written order of Persons designated in such Company Order,
Officers’ Certificate, supplemental indenture or Board Resolution (any such telephonic or electronic instructions to be promptly confirmed in writing by such Persons) and that such Persons are authorized to determine, consistent with such
Company Order, Officers’ Certificate, supplemental indenture or Board Resolution, such terms and conditions of said Securities as are specified in such Company Order, Officers’ Certificate, supplemental indenture or Board Resolution. 

SECTION 3.12 CUSIP NUMBERS. 
 The
Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state
that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers


  
 26 








 
printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. 

ARTICLE 4. 
 SATISFACTION AND
DISCHARGE 
 SECTION 4.01 SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE.

 This Indenture shall cease to be of further effect with respect to any series of Securities (except as to any surviving rights of
conversion or registration of transfer or exchange of Securities of such series expressly provided for herein or in the form of Security for such series), and the Trustee, on receipt of a Company Request and at the expense of the Company, shall
execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as to such series, when: 
 (1) either

 (A) all Securities of that series theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (i) Securities of such series
which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid for as provided in Section 3.06, and (ii) Securities of such series for whose payment money in United States dollars has theretofore been deposited in trust or
segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 10.03) have been delivered to the Trustee canceled or for cancellation; or 

(B) all such Securities of that series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee canceled or for cancellation: 

(i) have become due and payable, or 

(ii) will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year, or 

(iii) are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice
of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company, 
 and the Company, in the case of (i), (ii) or
(iii) above, has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for the purpose an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Securities not theretofore delivered to the
Trustee canceled or for cancellation, for principal (and premium, if any) and interest to the date of such deposit (in the case of Securities which have become due and payable), or to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be; 

(2) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company with respect to the Securities
of such series; and 

  
 27 








 (3) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and
an Opinion of Counsel each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series have been complied with. 

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to any series of Securities, the obligations of the Company to the Trustee with
respect to that series under Section 6.07 shall survive and the obligations of the Company and the Trustee under Sections 3.05, 3.06, 4.02, 10.02 and 10.03 shall survive. 

Upon satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as provided in this Section 4.01, the Trustee shall assign, transfer and turn over to the Company,
subject to the claim provided by Section 6.07, any and all money, securities and other property then held by the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities other than money held by the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.02. 

SECTION 4.02 APPLICATION OF TRUST MONEY. 

Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 10.03, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.01 or
Section 4.03 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the series of Securities in respect of which it was deposited and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including
the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not
be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall
deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company Request any money or securities deposited with and held by it as provided in Section 4.03 and this Section 4.02 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of
independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent satisfaction and discharge or covenant
defeasance, provided that the Trustee shall not be required to liquidate any securities in order to comply with the provisions of this paragraph. 

SECTION 4.03 DEFEASANCE UPON DEPOSIT OF FUNDS OR
GOVERNMENT OBLIGATIONS. 
 Unless pursuant to Section 3.01 provision is made that this Section shall
not be applicable to the Securities of any series, at the Company’s option, either (a) the Company shall be deemed to have been Discharged (as defined below) from its obligations with respect to any series of Securities after the
applicable conditions set forth below have been satisfied or (b) the Company shall cease to be under any obligation to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in Sections 10.04, 10.06 and 10.07 and Article 8 (and any other
Sections or covenants applicable to such Securities that are determined pursuant to Section 3.01 to be subject to this provision), and clause (4) of Section 5.01 of this Indenture (and any other Events of Default applicable to such
Securities that are determined pursuant to Section 3.01 to be subject to this 

  
 28 








 
provision) shall be deemed not to be an Event of Default, with respect to any series of Securities at any time after the applicable conditions set forth below have been satisfied: 

(1) the Company shall have deposited or caused to be deposited irrevocably with the Trustee as trust funds in trust,
specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such series, money or the equivalent in securities of the United States government or government agencies backed by the full faith and
credit of the United States government, or a combination thereof, which through the payment of interest thereon and principal thereof in accordance with their terms will provide funds in an amount sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally
recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof, to pay and discharge each installment of principal (including mandatory sinking fund payments) and any premium of, interest on and any repurchase or
redemption obligations with respect to the outstanding Securities of such series on the dates such installments of interest or principal or repurchase or redemption obligations are due (before such a deposit, if the Securities of such series are
then redeemable or may be redeemed in the future pursuant to the terms thereof, in either case at the option of the Company, the Company may give to the Trustee, in accordance with Section 11.02, a notice of its election to redeem all of the
Securities of such series at a future date in accordance with Article 11); 
 (2) no Event of Default or event (including
such deposit) which with notice or lapse of time would become an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such series shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit; 

(3) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee (A) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that Holders of the
Securities of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of the Company’s exercise of its option under this Section 4.03 and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amount and
in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such option had not been exercised, and, in the case of Securities being Discharged, accompanied by a ruling to that effect from the Internal Revenue Service, unless, as set
forth in such Opinion of Counsel, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law such that a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service is no longer required and (B) an Opinion of Counsel, subject to such qualifications,
exceptions, assumptions and limitations as are reasonably deemed necessary by such counsel and are reasonably satisfactory to counsel for the Trustee, to the effect that the trust resulting from the deposit referred to in paragraph (1) above
does not violate the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; 
 (4) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an
Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit referred to in paragraph (1) above was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the Holders over other creditors of the Company or with the intent of defeating, hindering,
delaying or defrauding creditors of the Company or others; and 

  
 29 








 (5) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series have been complied with. 

If the Company, at its option, with respect to a series of Securities, satisfies the applicable conditions pursuant to either clause (a) or (b) of
the first sentence of this Section, then (x) in the event the Company satisfies the conditions to clause (a) and elects clause (a) to be applicable, each Guarantor shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness
represented by, and obligations under, its respective guarantee of the Securities of such series and to have satisfied all the obligations under this Indenture relating to the Securities of such series and (y) in either case, each Guarantor
shall cease to be under any obligation to guarantee the Company’s performance of its obligation to comply with any term, provision or limitation set forth in Sections 10.04, 10.06, and 10.07 and Article 8 (and any other covenants
applicable to such Securities that are determined pursuant to Section 3.01 to be subject to this provision), and clause (4) of Section 5.01 (and any other Events of Default applicable to such series of Securities that are determined
pursuant to Section 3.01 to be subject to this provision) shall be deemed not to be an Event of Default with respect to such series of Securities at any time thereafter. 

“Discharged” means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by, and
obligations under, the Securities of such series and to have satisfied all the obligations under this Indenture relating to the Securities of such series (and the Trustee, on receipt of a Company Request and at the expense of the Company, shall
execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except (A) the rights of Holders of Securities to receive, from the trust fund described in clause (1) above, payment of the principal and any premium of and any interest on such
Securities when such payments are due; (B) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Securities under Sections 3.05, 3.06, 4.02, 6.07, 10.02 and 10.03; (C) the Company’s right of redemption, if any, with respect to any
Securities of such series pursuant to Article 11, in which case the Company may redeem the Securities of such series in accordance with Article 11 by complying with such Article and depositing with the Trustee, in accordance with Section 11.05,
an amount of money sufficient, together with all amounts held in trust pursuant to Section 4.02 with respect to Securities of such series, to pay the Redemption Price of all the Securities of such series to be redeemed; and (D) the rights,
powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder. 
 SECTION 4.04 REINSTATEMENT. 

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or securities in accordance with Section 4.02 of this Indenture, by reason of
any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s and, if applicable, the Guarantors’ obligations under this
Indenture and the Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 4.01 or 4.03 of this Indenture, as the case may be, until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such
money or securities in accordance with Section 4.02 of this Indenture; provided that, if the Company has made any payment of principal of or interest on any Securities because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall


  
 30 








 
be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money or securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 

ARTICLE 5. 
 DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

 SECTION 5.01 EVENTS OF DEFAULT. 

“Event of Default”, wherever used herein, means with respect to any series of Securities any one of the following events (whatever
the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental
body), unless such event is either inapplicable to a particular series or it is specifically deleted or modified in or pursuant to the supplemental indenture or Board Resolution creating such series of Securities or in the form of Security for such
series: 
 (1) default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security of that series at its
Maturity and, in the case of technical or administrative difficulties, only if such default persists for a period of more than 3 Business Days; 

(2) default in the payment of any interest upon any Security of that series when it becomes due and payable, and continuance
of such default for a period of 30 days; 
 (3) default in the payment of any sinking or purchase fund or analogous
obligation when the same becomes due by the terms of the Securities of such series and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days;

 SECTION 5.02 ACCELERATION OF
MATURITY; RESCISSION AND ANNULMENT. 
 If an Event of Default described in
paragraph (1), (2), (3), (4) or (8) (if the Event of Default under paragraph (4) or (8) is with respect to less than all series of Securities then Outstanding) of Section 5.01 occurs and is continuing with respect to any
series, then and in each and every such case, unless the principal of all 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 acting as a separate class), by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), may declare the principal amount (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 that series) of all the Securities of such series and all accrued interest thereon to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such
declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable, anything in this Indenture or in the Securities of such series contained to the contrary notwithstanding. If an Event of Default described in paragraph (4) or
(8) (if the Event of 

  
 32 








 
Default under paragraph (4) or (8) is with respect to all series of Securities then Outstanding), of Section 5.01 occurs and is continuing, then and in each and every such case,
unless the principal of all the Securities shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of all the Securities then Outstanding hereunder (treated as one class), by
notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), may declare the principal amount (or, if any Securities are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms thereof)
of all the Securities then Outstanding and all accrued interest thereon to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable, anything in this Indenture or in the Securities
contained to the contrary notwithstanding. If an Event of Default of the type set forth in paragraph (5) or (6) of Section 5.01 occurs and is continuing, the principal of and any interest on the Securities then outstanding shall
become immediately due and payable. 
 At any time after such a declaration of acceleration has been made with respect to the Securities of
any or all series, as the case may be, and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Event or Events of Default giving rise to such declaration of
acceleration shall, without further act, be deemed to have been waived, and such declaration and its consequences shall, without further act, be deemed to have been rescinded and annulled, if: 

(1) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay: 

(A) all overdue installments of interest on the Securities of such series; 

(B) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Securities of such series which have become due otherwise than by such
declaration of acceleration, and interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor by the terms of the Securities of such series, to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful; 

(C) interest upon overdue installments of interest at the rate or rates prescribed therefor by the terms of the Securities of
such series to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful; and 
 (D) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee
hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.07; and 

(2) all Events of Default with respect to such series of Securities, other than the nonpayment of the principal of the
Securities of such series which have become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.13. 
 No such
rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 SECTION 5.03 COLLECTION OF
INDEBTEDNESS AND SUITS FOR ENFORCEMENT BY TRUSTEE. 

The Company covenants that if: 

  
 33 








 (1) default is made in the payment of any installment of interest on any
Security of any series when such interest becomes due and payable; 
 (2) default is made in the payment of the principal of
(or premium, if any, on) any Security at the Maturity thereof; or 
 (3) default is made in the payment of any sinking or
purchase fund or analogous obligation when the same becomes due by the terms of the Securities of any series; 
 and any such default continues for any
period of grace provided with respect to the Securities of such series, the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holder of any such Security (or the Holders of any such series in the case of Clause
(3) above), the whole amount then due and payable on any such Security (or on the Securities of any such series in the case of Clause (3) above) for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, with interest, to the extent that payment of
such interest shall be legally enforceable, upon the overdue principal (and premium, if any) and upon overdue installments of interest, at such rate or rates as may be prescribed therefor by the terms of any such Security (or of Securities of any
such series in the case of Clause (3) above); and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.07 except as a result of its negligence or willful misconduct. 

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

If an Event of Default with respect to any series of Securities occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect
and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee may deem necessary to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant
or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy. 
 SECTION 5.04
TRUSTEE MAY FILE PROOFS OF CLAIM. 
 In case of
the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or the property of the Company
or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have
made any demand on the Company for the payment of overdue 

  
 34 








 
principal or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: 

(i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal (or portion thereof determined pursuant to
Section 3.01(14) to be provable in bankruptcy) (and premium, if any) and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary and advisable in order to have the claims of the
Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.07) and of the Securityholders allowed in such
judicial proceeding; and 
 (ii) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such
claims and to distribute the same; and any receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator (or other similar official) in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Securityholder to make such payment to the Trustee and in the
event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Securityholders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and
counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.07 except as a result of its negligence or bad faith. 
 Nothing herein
contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Securityholder, any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder
thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any, Securityholder in any such proceeding. 
 SECTION 5.05
TRUSTEE MAY ENFORCE CLAIMS WITHOUT POSSESSION OF SECURITIES. 

All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities of any series may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the
possession of any of the Securities of such series or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of
judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agent and counsel and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.07, be for the ratable benefit of
the Holders of the Securities of the series in respect of which such judgment has been recovered. 
 SECTION 5.06 APPLICATION
OF MONEY COLLECTED. 
 Any money collected by the Trustee with respect to a series of
Securities pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal (or premium, if any) or interest, upon presentation of the
Securities of such series and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid: 

  
 35 








 FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.07
except as a result of its negligence or willful misconduct; 
 SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid
upon the Securities of that series for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and
payable on such Securities for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, respectively; and 
 THIRD: To the Company or
any other person lawfully entitled thereto as directed in writing by the Company. 
 SECTION 5.07 LIMITATION ON
SUITS. 
 No Holder of any Security of any series shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise,
with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless: 

(1) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to Securities
of such series; 
 (2) the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such
series shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder; 

(3) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and
liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request; 
 (4) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice,
request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and 
 (5) no direction inconsistent with such
written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series; 

it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders of Securities of such series shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by
availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders of Securities of such series, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other such Holders or to enforce any right
under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and proportionate benefit of all the Holders of all Securities of such series. 

  
 36 








 SECTION 5.08 UNCONDITIONAL RIGHT OF
SECURITYHOLDERS TO RECEIVE PRINCIPAL, PREMIUM AND INTEREST. 

Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional,
to receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 3.07) interest on such Security on the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption or repayment, on the Redemption
Date or Repayment Date, as the case may be) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. 

SECTION 5.09 RESTORATION OF RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. 

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

SECTION 5.10 RIGHTS AND REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. 

Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or repayment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last
paragraph of Section 3.06, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Securityholders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law,
be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent
assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 
 SECTION 5.11 DELAY OR OMISSION
NOT WAIVER. 
 No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Security to exercise any right
or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the
Securityholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Securityholders, as the case may be. 

SECTION 5.12 CONTROL BY SECURITYHOLDERS. 

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

  
 37 








 (1) the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if
the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that the action so directed may not lawfully be taken or would conflict with this Indenture or if the Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer, determine that the proceedings so directed
would involve it in personal liability or be unjustly prejudicial to the Holders not taking part in such direction; and 

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

SECTION 5.13 WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS. 

The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series may on behalf of the Holders of all the
Securities of such series waive any past default hereunder with respect to such series and its consequences, except a default not theretofore cured: 

(1) in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Security of such series, or in the payment of
any sinking or purchase fund or analogous obligation with respect to the Securities of such series; or 
 (2) in respect of
a covenant or provision hereof which under Article 9 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of such series. 

Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for
every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

SECTION 5.14 UNDERTAKING FOR COSTS. 

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

  
 38 








 SECTION 5.15 WAIVER OF STAY OR
EXTENSION LAWS. 
 The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any
time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this
Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee,
but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. 
 ARTICLE 6.

the continuance of an Event of Default with respect to any series of Securities:

such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and 

(2) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may, with respect to Securities of such series, conclusively rely, as
to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such 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) In case an Event of Default with respect to any series of Securities has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall
exercise with respect to the Securities of such series 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 such person’s own affairs. 
 (c) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the
Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that: 

(1) this Subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of Subsection (a) of this Section; 

  
 39 








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

with the direction of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or
power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series; and 
 (4) no
provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have
reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. 

(d) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the
liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section. 
 SECTION 6.02 NOTICE
OF DEFAULTS. 
 Within 90 days after the occurrence of any default hereunder with respect to Securities of
any series, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Securityholders of such series, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register, notice of such default hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such default shall have been cured or
waived; provided, however, that, except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Security of such series or in the payment of any sinking or purchase fund installment or analogous obligation
with respect to Securities of such series, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as a trust committee of directors and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determine that the withholding of such
notice is in the interests of the Securityholders of such series; and provided, further, that in the case of any default of the character specified in Section 5.01(4) with respect to Securities of such series no such notice to Securityholders
of such series shall be given until at least 90 days after the occurrence thereof. For the purpose of this Section, the term “default,” with respect to Securities of any series, means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or
both would become, an Event of Default with respect to Securities of such series. 
 SECTION 6.03 CERTAIN RIGHTS
OF TRUSTEE. 
 Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.01:

or by any Holder of such Securities; 
 (i) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it

 41 








 (k) the Trustee may request that the Company deliver an Officers’
Certificate setting forth the names of individuals or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, which Officers’ Certificate may be signed by an person authorized to sign an Officers’
Certificate, including any person specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded; and 

(l) in no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, or consequential loss or damage of any kind

SECTION 6.04 NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR RECITALS OR ISSUANCE
OF SECURITIES. 
 The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the certificates of
authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities. The

SECTION 6.05 MAY HOLD SECURITIES. 

The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, the Security Registrar or any other agent of the Company, in its individual or any
other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and, subject to Sections 6.08 and 6.13, may otherwise deal with the Company or any Guarantor with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent,
Security Registrar or such other agent. 
 SECTION 6.06 MONEY HELD IN TRUST. 

Subject to the provisions of Section 10.03 hereof, all moneys in United States dollars 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 law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money received
by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed in writing with the Company. 
 SECTION 6.07 COMPENSATION AND
REIMBURSEMENT. 
 The Company agrees: 

(1) to pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation as the Company and the Trustee shall agree in writing for all
services rendered by it hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust); 

(2) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses,
disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture

or administration of this trust, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, a Securityholder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its

The Trustee for the Securities of any series issued hereunder shall be subject to the provisions of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture
Act during the period of time provided for therein. In determining whether the Trustee has a conflicting interest as defined in Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to the Securities of any series, there shall be excluded from
the operation of this Section 6.08 all other series under this Indenture. Nothing herein shall prevent the Trustee from filing with the Commission the application referred to in the second to last paragraph of Section 310(b) of the Trust
Indenture Act. 
 SECTION 6.09 CORPORATE TRUSTEE REQUIRED; ELIGIBILITY. 

There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder with respect to each series of Securities, which shall be either: 

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

(ii) a corporation or other Person organized and doing business under the laws of a foreign government that is permitted to
act as Trustee pursuant to a rule, 

  
 43 








 
regulation or order of the Commission, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, and subject to supervision or examination by authority of such foreign government or a
political subdivision thereof substantially equivalent to supervision or examination applicable to United States institutional trustees; 
 in either case
having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of
this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. Neither the Company nor any Person directly or indirectly
controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Company shall serve as trustee for the Securities of any series issued hereunder. If at any time the Trustee with respect to any series of Securities shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 6.10. 

SECTION 6.10 RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL. 

(a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become
effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee under Section 6.11. 
 (b) The Trustee may
resign with respect to any series of Securities at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such
notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition, at the expense of the Company, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

(c) The Trustee may be removed with respect to any series of Securities at any time by Act of the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the outstanding Securities of that series, delivered to the Trustee and to the Company. If an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such
notice of removal, the Trustee being removed may petition, at the expense of the Company, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

(d) If at any time: 

(1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act pursuant to Section 6.08 with
respect to any series of Securities after written request therefor by the Company or by any Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of that series for at least six months, unless the Trustee’s duty to resign is stayed in
accordance with the provisions of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act; 

  
 44 








 (2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 6.09 with respect
to any series of Securities and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Securityholder; 

(3) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting with respect to any series of Securities; or 

(4) the Trustee shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver 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, (i) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee, with respect to the series, or in the case of Clause
(4), with respect to all series, or (ii) subject to Section 5.14, any Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition
any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the series, or, in the case of Clause (4), with respect to all series. 

(e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting with respect to any series of Securities, or if a
vacancy shall occur in the office of the Trustee with respect to any series of Securities for any cause, the Company, by Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee for that series of Securities. If, within one year after such
resignation, removal or incapacity, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to such series of Securities shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such
series delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Trustee with respect to such series and supersede the successor Trustee
appointed by the Company with respect to such series. If no successor Trustee with respect to such series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Securityholders of such series and accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided,
subject to Section 5.14, any Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of that series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to such series. 
 (f) The Company shall give notice of each resignation and
each removal of the Trustee with respect to any series to all Holders of Securities of such series in the manner provided in Section 1.06. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its principal Corporate
Trust Office. 
 SECTION 6.11 ACCEPTANCE OF APPOINTMENT BY SUCCESSOR.

 Every successor Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the predecessor Trustee an
instrument accepting such 

  
 45 








 
appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Trustee shall become effective with respect to any series as to which it is resigning or being removed as Trustee, and
such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the predecessor Trustee with respect to any such series; but, on request of the Company or the successor
Trustee, such predecessor Trustee shall, upon payment of its reasonable charges, if any, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the predecessor Trustee, and shall duly assign,
transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such predecessor trustee hereunder with respect to all or any such series, subject nevertheless to its lien, if any, provided for in Section 6.07. Upon request of any
such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts. 

In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company,
the 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 being succeeded 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 hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee; and upon
the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall
become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the Company or any successor
Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee, all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such
successor Trustee relates. No Trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission solely of any other Trustee hereunder. 

No successor Trustee with respect to any series of Securities shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such
successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible with respect to that series under this Article. 
 SECTION 6.12 MERGER,
CONVERSION, CONSOLIDATION OR SUCCESSION TO BUSINESS. 

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 all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such
corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this 

  
 46 








 
Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the
Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself
authenticated such Securities. In case any Securities shall not have been authenticated by such predecessor Trustee, any such successor Trustee may authenticate and deliver such Securities, in either its own name or that of its predecessor Trustee,
with the full force and effect which this Indenture provides for the certificate of authentication of the Trustee. 
 SECTION 6.13
PREFERENTIAL COLLECTION OF CLAIMS AGAINST COMPANY. 

The Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA Section 311(b). A Trustee who has
resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA Section 311(a) to the extent indicated. 
 SECTION 6.14 APPOINTMENT
OF AUTHENTICATING AGENT. 
 At any time when any of the Securities remain Outstanding the
Trustee, with the approval of the Company, may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to one or more series of Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series issued upon
original issuance, exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 3.06, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all
purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed
to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company
and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as an Authenticating Agent, having a combined
capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and, if other than the Company itself, subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to
law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its
most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect
specified in this Section. 
 Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be
consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate agency or corporate trust business
of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation 

  
 47 








 
shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent. 

An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and, if other than the Company, to the Company.
The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and, if other than the Company, to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a
termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee, with the approval of the Company, may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be
acceptable to the Company and shall provide notice of such appointment to all Holders of Securities of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register. Any successor
Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor
Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section. 
 The Company agrees to pay to each
Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation as the Company and the Authenticating Agent shall from time to time agree in writing for its services under this Section. 

If an appointment with respect to one or more series is made pursuant to this Section, the Securities of such series may have endorsed
thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication in the following form: 

This is one of the Securities of the series designated therein referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

The Company will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee: 

  
 48 








 (1) semi-annually, not more than 15 days after December 15 and June 15
in each year in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require, a list of the names and addresses of the Holders of Securities of each series as of such December 15 and June 15, as applicable; and 

(2) at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, within 30 days after the receipt by the Company of any such
request, a list of similar form and content as of a date not more than 15 days prior to the time such list is furnished; 
 provided, however, that if and
so long as the Trustee shall be the Security Registrar for Securities of a series, no such list need be furnished with respect to such series of Securities. 

SECTION 7.02 PRESERVATION OF INFORMATION; COMMUNICATIONS TO
SECURITYHOLDERS. 
 (a) The Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably practicable,
the names and addresses of Holders of Securities contained in the most recent list furnished to the Trustee as provided in Section 7.01 and the names and addresses of Holders of Securities received by the Trustee in its capacity as Security
Registrar, if so acting. The Trustee may destroy any list furnished to it as provided in Section 7.01 upon receipt of a new list so furnished. 

(b) If three or more Holders of Securities of any series (hereinafter referred to as “applicants”) apply in writing
to the Trustee, and furnish to the Trustee reasonable proof that each such applicant has owned a Security of such series for a period of at least six months preceding the date of such application, and such application states that the applicants
desire to communicate with other Holders of Securities of such series or with the Holders of all Securities with respect to their rights under this Indenture or under such Securities and is accompanied by a copy of the form of proxy or other
communication which such applicants propose to transmit, then the Trustee shall, within five Business Days after the receipt of such application, at its election, either: 

(i) afford such applicants access to the information preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with
Section 7.02(a); or 
 (ii) inform such applicants as to the approximate number of Holders of Securities of such series

proxy or other communication, if any, specified in such application. 
 If the Trustee shall elect not to afford such applicants access to
such information, the Trustee shall, upon the written request of such applicants, mail to each Holder of a Security of such series or to all Securityholders, as the case may be, whose names and addresses appear in the information preserved at the
time by the Trustee in accordance with Section 7.02(a), a copy of the form of proxy or other communication which is specified in such request, with reasonable promptness after a tender to the Trustee of the material to be mailed and of payment,
or provision for the payment, of the reasonable expenses of mailing, unless, within five days after such tender, the Trustee shall mail to such applicants and file with the Commission, together with a


  
 49 








 
copy of the material to be mailed, a written statement to the effect that, in the opinion of the Trustee, such mailing would be contrary to the best interests of the Holders of Securities of such
series or all Securityholders, as the case may be, or would be in violation of applicable law. Such written statement shall specify the basis of such opinion. If the Commission, after opportunity for a hearing upon the objections specified in the
written statement so filed, shall enter an order refusing to sustain any of such objections or if, after the entry of an order sustaining one or more of such objections, the Commission shall find, after notice and opportunity for hearing, that all
the objections so sustained have been met and shall enter an order so declaring, the Trustee shall mail copies of such material to all Securityholders of such series or all Securityholders, as the case may be, with reasonable promptness after the
entry of such order and the renewal of such tender; otherwise the Trustee shall be relieved of any obligation or duty to such applicants respecting their application. 

(c) Every Holder of Securities, by receiving and holding the same, agrees with the Company and the Trustee that neither the
Company nor the Trustee shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of the Holders of Securities in accordance with Section 7.02(b), regardless of the source from which such
information was derived, and that the Trustee shall not be held accountable by reason of mailing any material pursuant to a request made under Section 7.02(b). 

SECTION 7.03 REPORTS BY TRUSTEE. 

(a) Within 60 days after May 15 of each year commencing with the first May 15 after the issuance of Securities, the
Trustee shall transmit to all Holders as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register, as provided in Trust Indenture Act Section 313(c), a brief report dated as of May 15 if required by, in accordance with and with respect
to, the matters required by Trust Indenture Act Section 313(a). 
 (b) The Trustee shall transmit to all Holders as
their names and addresses appear in the Security Register, as provided in Trust Indenture Act Section 313(c), a brief report in accordance with and with respect to the matters required by Trust Indenture Act Section 313(b).

accordance with Trust Indenture Act Section 313(d), be filed by the Trustee with each stock exchange upon which the Securities are listed, and also with the Commission. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee when the Securities are listed
on any stock exchange and of any delisting thereof. 
 SECTION 7.04 REPORTS BY COMPANY. 

The Company shall file with the Trustee, and transmit to Holders, such information, documents and other reports, and such summaries thereof, as
may be required pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act at the times and in the manner provided pursuant to such Act; provided that any such information, documents or reports required to be filed with the


  
 50 








 
Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 shall be filed with the Trustee within 15 days after the same is so required to be filed with the
Commission. The Company also shall comply with the other provisions of Trust Indenture Act Section 314(a). 
 Delivery of such reports,
information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein,
including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder(as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates).

CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, CONVEYANCE OR TRANSFER ON CERTAIN TERMS. 

The Company shall not consolidate with or merge into any other Person or sell, lease, convey or transfer all or substantially all its
properties and assets to any Person, if upon any such consolidation, merger, sale, lease, conveyance or transfer the Company is not the surviving corporation, unless: 

(1) the Person formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or the Person which acquires by sale, lease,
conveyance or transfer all or substantially all the properties and assets of the Company shall be organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof or the District of Columbia, and shall expressly assume, by

discharged from all obligations and covenants under this Indenture and the Securities, and the Company may be dissolved, wound up or liquidated at any time thereafter.

 SECTION 9.01 SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES WITHOUT CONSENT OF
SECURITYHOLDERS. 
 Without the consent of the Holders of any Securities, the Company, when authorized by a Board
Resolution, and the Trustee, at any time and from time to time, may enter into one or more indentures supplemental hereto, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, for any of the following purposes: 

(1) to evidence the succession of another corporation or Person to the Company or any Guarantor and the assumption by any such
successor of the covenants of the Company or any Guarantor herein and in the Securities or the Guarantees relating thereto; 

(2) to add to the covenants of the Company or the Guarantors, or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the
Company or the rights or powers of the Guarantors, for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of any or all series (and if such covenants or the surrender of such right or power are to be for the benefit of less than all series of Securities,
stating that such covenants are expressly being included or such surrenders are expressly being made solely for the benefit of one or more specified series); 

(3) to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision herein which may be inconsistent with any other provision

 (4) to add to this Indenture such provisions as may be expressly permitted by the TIA, excluding, however, the provisions
referred to in Section 316(a)(2) of the TIA as in effect at the date as of which this instrument was executed or any corresponding provision in any similar federal statute hereafter enacted; 

  
 52 








 (5) to establish any form of Security, as provided in Article 2, to provide for

Section 6.11; 
 (7) to add any additional Events of Default in respect of the Securities of any or all series (and if

(8) to provide for the issuance of Securities in coupon as well as in fully registered form;

(10) to evidence the addition of any Subsidiary of the Company as a Guarantor hereunder or the release or discharge of any
Guarantor hereunder and any of its obligations hereunder in accordance with Article 12. 
 SECTION 9.02 SUPPLEMENTAL
INDENTURES WITH CONSENT OF SECURITYHOLDERS. 
 With the
consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series affected (voting as one class) by such supplemental indenture or indentures (including consents obtained in connection with a tender
offer for or in exchange of Securities), by Act of said Holders delivered to the Company and the Trustee (in accordance with Section 1.04 hereof), the Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may 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 series under this Indenture; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby: 

(1) change the Maturity of the principal of, or the Stated Maturity of any premium on, or any installment of interest on, any
Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof or the interest or any premium thereon, or change the method of computing the amount of principal thereof or interest thereon on any date or change any Place of Payment where, or the coin or currency
in which, any Security or any premium or interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the Maturity or the Stated Maturity, as the case may be,


  
 53 








 
thereof (or, in the case of redemption or repayment, on or after the Redemption Date or the Repayment Date, as the case may be); 

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

 (3) modify any of the provisions of this Section, Section 5.13 or Section 10.08, except to increase any such
percentage or to provide that certain other provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby; 

(4) impair or adversely affect the right of any Holder to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on, or with
respect to, the Securities of any series on or after the Stated Maturity of such Securities (or in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date); or

Securities of any series. 
 A supplemental indenture which changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Indenture which
has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Securities, or which modifies the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series with respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to
affect the rights under this Indenture of Holders of Securities of any other series. 
 The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix
a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any supplemental indenture hereto. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph, the Holders at such record date
(or their duly designated proxies), and only those Holders, shall be entitled to consent to such supplemental indenture, whether or not such persons continue to be Holders after such record date. 

It shall not be necessary for any Act of Securityholders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental
indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof. A waiver by a Holder of such Holder’s rights to consent under this Section shall be deemed to be a consent of such Holder. 

SECTION 9.03 EXECUTION OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES. 

In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby
of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall receive, and (subject to Section 6.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or
permitted by this Indenture. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter

SECTION 9.05 CONFORMITY WITH TRUST INDENTURE ACT.

Article may, and shall if required by the Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Company shall so determine, new Securities so modified as to conform, in the
opinion of the Trustee and the Board of Directors, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Securities. 

ARTICLE 10.

 55 








 
agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain such office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands
may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands. 

Unless otherwise set forth in, or pursuant to, a Board Resolution or Indenture supplemental hereto with respect to a series of Securities, the
Company hereby initially designates as the Place of Payment for each series of Securities, the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York, and initially appoints the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office as the Company’s office or
agency for each such purpose in such city. 
 SECTION 10.03 MONEY FOR SECURITY PAYMENTS
TO BE HELD IN TRUST. 
 If the Company shall at any time act
as its own Paying Agent for any series of Securities, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on, any of the Securities of such series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons
entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided, and will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or
failure to act. 
 Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of Securities, it will, on or prior to each due
date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on, any Securities of such series, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the
benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal (and premium, if any) or interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. 

The Company will cause each Paying Agent other than the Trustee for any series of Securities to execute and deliver to the Trustee an
instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will: 

(1) hold all sums held by it for the payment of principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on Securities of such series in
trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided; 

(2) give the Trustee notice of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities of such series) in the
making of any such payment of principal (and premium, if any) or interest on the Securities of such series; and 
 (3) at
any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent. 

The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to any series of
Securities or for any other purpose, pay, 

  
 56 








 
or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent in respect of each and every series of Securities as to which it
seeks to discharge this Indenture or, if for any other purpose, all sums so held in trust by the Company in respect of all Securities, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or
such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money. 

Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of (and
premium, if any) or interest on any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years (or such shorter period for the return of such funds to the Company under applicable abandoned property laws) after such principal (and premium, if any)
or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter as an unsecured general creditor, look
only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease. 

SECTION 10.04 STATEMENT AS TO COMPLIANCE; NOTICE OF
DEFAULT. 
 For so long as any Securities remain outstanding under this Indenture, the Company will deliver to the
Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, an Officers’ Certificate, one of the signatories of which shall be the principal executive, financial or accounting officer of the Company stating that: 

(1) a review of the activities of the Company and its Subsidiaries during such year as would bear on performance under this
Indenture and under the terms of the Securities has been made under the supervision of such officers; and 
 (2) to the best
of such officers’ knowledge, based on such review, the Company has fulfilled all its obligations under this Indenture and has complied with all conditions and covenants on its part contained in this Indenture through such year, or, if there has
been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, covenant or condition, specifying all such defaults and the nature and status thereof of which they have knowledge. 

For the purpose of this Section 10.04, default and compliance shall be determined without regard to any grace period or requirement of
notice provided pursuant to the terms of this Indenture. 
 SECTION 10.05 LEGAL EXISTENCE. 

Subject to Article 8 the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its legal
existence. 

  
 57 








 SECTION 10.06 LIMITATION ON LIENS. 

The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Material Subsidiary to, incur, create, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become liable for
any indebtedness for money borrowed that is secured by a Lien on any Principal Property or on shares of stock or indebtedness of any Material Subsidiary (whether such Principal Property, shares of stock or indebtedness are now owned or hereafter
acquired) unless the Company or such Material Subsidiary makes or causes to be made effective provisions whereby the Securities issued under this Indenture will be secured by such Lien equally and ratably with (or prior to) all other indebtedness
thereby secured so long as any such indebtedness shall be secured. The foregoing restriction does not apply to the following: 

(i) Liens for taxes, assessments or governmental charges or levies on its property if the same shall not at the time be
delinquent or thereafter can be paid without penalty, or are being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP shall have been set aside on its books; 

(ii) Liens imposed by law, such as carriers’, warehousemen’s, materialmen’s, workmen’s, repairmen’s
and mechanics’ liens, and other similar Liens (including deposits on pledges to obtain the release of such Liens) arising in the ordinary course of business which secure payment of obligations not more than 60 days past due or which are
being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves shall have been set aside on its books; 

(iii) Liens arising out of pledges or deposits required or permitted to qualify the Company or any Subsidiary to conduct
business, to maintain self-insurance or to obtain the benefit of any law pertaining to worker’s compensation laws, unemployment insurance, old age pensions, or other social security or retirement benefits, or similar legislation; 

(iv) utility easements, building restrictions and such other encumbrances or charges against real property as are of a nature
generally existing with respect to properties of a similar character and which do not in any material way affect the marketability of the same or interfere with the use thereof in the business of the Company or its Subsidiaries; 

(v) Liens incurred in the ordinary course of business securing the performance of bids, trade contracts, leases, statutory
obligations, bonds, letters of credit and other similar obligations, and judgment liens to the extent enforcement thereof is effectively stayed, provided that full provision for the payment of all such obligations shall have been made on the
books of the Company or such Subsidiary as may be required by GAAP; 
 (vi) banker’s liens and rights of setoff arising
by operation of law and contractual rights of setoff; 
 (vii) Liens existing as of the date of this Indenture; 

  
 58 








 (viii) Liens created by Subsidiaries of the Company to secure indebtedness of
such Subsidiaries to the Company or to one or more other Subsidiaries of the Company; 
 (ix) Liens affecting property of a
Person existing at the time it becomes a Subsidiary of the Company or at the time it merges into or consolidates with the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company or at the time of a sale, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the
properties of such Person to the Company or its Subsidiaries; 
 (x) Liens on any property existing at the time of the

part of the purchase price thereof; 
 (xi) Liens on any property to secure all or part of the cost of improvements or
construction thereon or indebtedness incurred to provide funds for such purpose in a principal amount not exceeding the cost of such improvements or construction; 

(xii) Liens on shares of stock, indebtedness or other securities of a Person that is not the Company or a Subsidiary of the
Company; 
 (xiii) Liens on or with respect to capital leases entered into after the date of this Indenture, provided that
such liens extend only to the property or assets that are the subject of such capital leases; 
 (xiv) Liens on property of
the Company or a Subsidiary in favor of the United States of America or any State thereof, or any department, agency or instrumentality or political subdivision of the United States of America or any State thereof, or in favor of any other country,
or any political subdivision thereof, to secure partial, progress, advance or other payments pursuant to any contract or statute or to secure any indebtedness incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or the cost of
construction of the property subject to such Liens; 
 (xv) any security interest created in connection with the sale,
discount or guarantee of notes, chattel mortgages, leases, accounts receivable, trade acceptances or other paper or contingent repurchase obligations, arising out of sales of merchandise in the ordinary course of business; 

(xvi) any extension, substitution, renewal or replacement of any lien referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) through
(xiv) inclusive, or of any indebtedness secured thereby; provided, however, that the principal amount of indebtedness secured thereby shall not exceed the principal amount of indebtedness so secured at the time of such extension, substitution,
renewal or replacement, or at the time the lien was issued, created or assumed or otherwise permitted, and that such extension, substitution, renewal or replacement lien shall be limited to all or part of substantially the same property which


  
 59 








 
secured the lien extended, renewed or replaced (plus improvements on such property); and 

(xvii) other Liens arising in connection with indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries in an aggregate principal
amount for the Company and its Subsidiaries, together with all Attributable Debt with respect to sale and leaseback transactions involving Principal Properties (with the exception of the transactions that are excluded as described in
Section 10.07), not exceeding at the time such lien is issued, created or assumed 10% of the Consolidated Assets of the Company. 

SECTION 10.07 LIMITATION ON SALE AND LEASEBACK TRANSACTIONS.

 The Company shall not itself, and shall not permit any Material Subsidiary to, enter into any arrangement after the date of the first
issuance by the Company of Securities issued pursuant to this Indenture with any bank, insurance company or other lender or investor (other than the Company or another Material Subsidiary) providing for the leasing by the Company or any Material
Subsidiary of any Principal Property (except a lease for a period not to exceed three years by the end of which it is intended that the use of such Principal Property by the lessee will be discontinued), which was or is owned or leased by the
Company or a Material Subsidiary and which has been or is to be sold or transferred, more than 120 days after the completion of construction and commencement of full operation thereof by the Company or such Material Subsidiary, to such lender
or investor or to any Person to whom funds have been or are to be advanced by such lender or investor on the security of such Principal Property (herein referred to as a “Sale and Leaseback Transaction”) unless, either: 

(a) the Attributable Debt of the Company and its Material Subsidiaries in respect of such Sale and Leaseback Transaction and
all other Sale and Leaseback Transactions entered into after the date of the first issuance by the Company of securities issued pursuant to this instrument (other than any such Sale and Leaseback Transactions that are otherwise permitted or excepted
by this Section 10.07), plus the aggregate principal amount of indebtedness secured by Liens on Principal Properties then outstanding (excluding any such indebtedness secured by Liens covered in subparagraphs (i) through (xvii) of
Section 10.06) without equally and ratably securing the Securities, would not exceed 10% of Consolidated Assets, or 

(b) the Company, within 150 days after the sale or transfer, applies or causes a Material Subsidiary to apply an amount
equal to the greater of (i) the net proceeds of such sale or transfer or (ii) the Attributable Debt with respect thereto, to the retirement of Securities of any series or other indebtedness of the Company (other than indebtedness
subordinated to the Securities) or indebtedness of a Material Subsidiary, for money borrowed, having a stated maturity more than 12 months from the date of such application or which is extendible at the option of the obligor thereon to a date
more than 12 months from the date of such application (and, unless otherwise expressly provided with respect to any one or more series of Securities, any redemption of Securities pursuant to this provision shall not be deemed to constitute a
refunding operation or anticipated refunding operation for the purposes of any provision limiting the Company’s right to redeem Securities of any one or more such series when such redemption involves


  
 60 








 
a refunding operation or anticipated refunding operation); provided that the amount to be so applied shall be reduced by (i) the principal amount of Securities delivered within 150 days
after such sale or transfer to the Trustee for retirement and cancellation, and (ii) the principal amount of any such indebtedness of the Company or a Material Subsidiary, other than Securities, voluntarily retired by the Company or a Material
Subsidiary within 180 days after such sale or transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no retirement referred to in this subdivision (b) may be effected by payment at maturity or pursuant to any mandatory sinking fund payment or any
mandatory prepayment provision. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, where the Company or any Material Subsidiary is the lessee in any Sale and
Leaseback Transaction, Attributable Debt shall not include any indebtedness resulting from the guarantee by the Company or any other Material Subsidiary of the lessee’s obligation thereunder. 

SECTION 10.08 WAIVER OF CERTAIN COVENANTS. 

The Company may omit in respect of any series of Securities, in any particular instance, to comply with any covenant or condition set forth in
Section 10.04, 10.06 or 10.07 or set forth in a Board Resolution or supplemental indenture with respect to the Securities of such series, unless otherwise specified in such Board Resolution or supplemental indenture, if before or after the time
for such compliance the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series affected by such waiver (voting as one class) shall, by Act of such Securityholders delivered to the Company and the Trustee
(in accordance with Section 1.04 hereof), either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such covenant or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such covenant or condition except to the extent
so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such covenant or condition shall remain in full force and effect. Nothing in this Section 10.08
shall permit the waiver of compliance with any covenant or condition set forth in such Board Resolution or supplemental indenture which, if in the form of an indenture supplemental hereto, would not be permitted by Section 9.02 without the
consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby. 
 SECTION 10.09 ADDITIONAL COVENANTS. 

Any additional covenants which the Company or the Guarantors will make pertaining to a series of Securities shall be set forth in a supplement
relating to such series of Securities. 
 SECTION 10.10 CALCULATION OF ORIGINAL ISSUE
DISCOUNT. 
 The Company shall file with the Trustee promptly at the end of each calendar year (i) a written notice
specifying the amount of original issue discount (including daily rates and accrual periods) accrued on Outstanding Securities as of the end of such year and (ii) such other specific information relating to such original issue discount as may
then be relevant under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

 ARTICLE 11. 

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES 
 SECTION 11.01
APPLICABILITY OF ARTICLE. 
 The Company may reserve the right to redeem and pay before
Stated Maturity all or any part of the Securities of any series, either by optional redemption, sinking or purchase fund or analogous obligation or otherwise, by provision therefor in the form of Security for such series established and approved
pursuant to Section 2.02 and on such terms as are specified in such form or in the indenture supplemental hereto with respect to Securities of such series as provided in Section 3.01. Redemption of Securities of any series shall be made in
accordance with the terms of such Securities and, to the extent that this Article does not conflict with such terms, the succeeding Sections of this Article. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, except in the case of
redemption pursuant to a sinking fund, the Trustee shall not make any payment in connection with the redemption of Securities until the close of business on the Redemption Date. 

SECTION 11.02 ELECTION TO REDEEM; NOTICE TO TRUSTEE.

 The election of the Company to redeem any Securities redeemable at the election of the Company shall be evidenced by, or pursuant to
authority granted by, a Board Resolution or an Officers’ Certificate or in another manner specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for Securities of any series. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company of the Securities of
any series, the Company shall, at least 45 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date and of the principal amount of Securities of
such series and the Tranche to be redeemed. 
 In the case of any redemption of Securities (i) prior to the expiration of any
restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, or (ii) pursuant to an election of the Company which is subject to a condition specified in the terms of such Securities, the Company shall
furnish the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction or condition. The Trustee shall have no obligation to calculate the Redemption Price. 

SECTION 11.03 SELECTION OF SECURITIES TO BE REDEEMED.

 If less than all the Securities of like tenor and terms of any series (a “Tranche”) are to be redeemed, the particular
Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date from the Outstanding Securities of such Tranche not previously called for redemption in accordance with the procedures of the Depository or, in the
absence of any such provision, by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may include provision for the selection for redemption of portions of the principal of Securities of such Tranche of a denomination larger than
the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that series. Unless otherwise provided in the terms of a particular series of Securities, the portions of the principal of Securities so selected for partial redemption shall be equal to the
minimum authorized denomination of the Securities of such series, or an integral 

  
 62 








 
multiple thereof, and the principal amount which remains outstanding shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of such series. 

Securities shall be excluded from eligibility for selection for redemption if they are identified by registration and certificate number in a
written statement signed by an authorized officer of the Company and delivered to the Trustee at least 60 days prior to the Redemption Date as being owned of record and beneficially by, and not pledged or hypothecated by either, (a) the Company
or (b) an entity specifically identified in such written statement as being an Affiliate of the Company. 
 For all purposes of this
Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate, in the case of any Security redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal of such Security which has
been or is to be redeemed. 
 SECTION 11.04 NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. 

Notice of redemption shall be given by electronic transmission or first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 (unless otherwise
provided in the Board Resolution establishing the relevant series) nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each holder of Securities to be redeemed, at such Holder’s email address or physical address appearing in the Security
Register. 
 All notices of redemption shall identify the Securities to be redeemed (including CUSIP number(s)) and state: 

(1) the Redemption Date and if such redemption is subject to the completion of any condition, a statement to such effect; 

(2) the Redemption Price, or the formula pursuant to which the Redemption Price is to be determined if the Redemption Price
cannot be determined at the time notice is given; 
 (3) if less than all Outstanding Securities of any series are to be
redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the respective principal amounts) of the Securities to be redeemed; 

(4) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each such Security, and that interest,
if any, thereon shall cease to accrue from and after said date; 
 (5) the place where such Securities are to be surrendered
for payment of the Redemption Price, which shall be the office or agency of the Company in the Place of Payment; and 
 (6)
that the redemption is on account of a sinking or purchase fund, or other analogous obligation, if that be the case. 

  
 63 








 Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Securities in accordance with Section 3.01,
with respect to any notice of redemption of Securities at the election of the Company, unless, upon the giving of such notice, such Securities are deemed to have been paid in accordance with Section 4.01, such notice may state that such
redemption shall be conditional upon the receipt by the Paying Agent for such Securities, on or prior to the date fixed for such redemption, of money sufficient to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on such Securities
and that if such money has not been so received such notice shall be of no force or effect and the Company shall not be required to redeem such Securities. In the event that such notice of redemption contains such a condition and such money is not
so received the redemption shall not be made and within a reasonable time thereafter notice shall be given, in the manner in which the notice of redemption was given, that such money was not so received and such redemption was not required to be
made, and the Paying Agent for the Securities otherwise to have been redeemed shall promptly return to the Holders thereof any of such Securities that had been surrendered for payment upon such redemption 

Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Company, and any notice of non-satisfaction of a condition for
redemption as aforesaid, shall be given by the Company or, at the Company’s request (which may be rescinded or revoked at any time prior to the time at which the Trustee shall have given such notice to the Holders), by the Trustee in the name
and at the expense of the Company. Notice of mandatory redemption of Securities shall be given by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company. The notice, if delivered in the manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to
have been given, whether or not the Holder of any Security receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Security designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the
validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Securities. 
 SECTION 11.05 DEPOSIT OF
REDEMPTION PRICE. 
 On or prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Redemption Date, the Company
shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 10.03) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all the
Securities which are to be redeemed on that date. 
 SECTION 11.06 SECURITIES PAYABLE ON
REDEMPTION DATE. 
 Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed
shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price) such Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon
surrender of such Securities for redemption in accordance with the notice, such Securities shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price. Unless otherwise provided with respect to such Securities pursuant to Section 3.01, installments of
interest the Stated Maturity of which is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities registered as such on the relevant Regular Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 3.07.


  
 64 








 If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption,
the principal shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate borne by the Security, or as otherwise provided in such Security. 

SECTION 11.07 SECURITIES REDEEMED IN PART. 

Any Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at the office or agency of the Company in the Place of Payment with
respect to that series (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized
in writing) and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Security or Securities of the same series and Stated Maturity and of like tenor and terms, of any
authorized denomination as requested by such Holder in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered. 

SECTION 11.08 PROVISIONS WITH RESPECT TO ANY SINKING
FUNDS. 
 Unless the form or terms of any series of Securities shall provide otherwise, in lieu of making all or any part
of any mandatory sinking fund payment with respect to such series of Securities in cash, the Company may at its option (1) deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities of such series theretofore acquired by the Company, or
(2) receive credit for any Securities of such series (not previously so credited) acquired by the Company (including by way of optional redemption (pursuant to the sinking fund or otherwise but not by way of mandatory sinking fund redemption)
or converted by the Holder thereof into Common Stock or other securities and theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, and if it does so then (i) Securities so delivered or credited shall be credited at the applicable sinking fund
Redemption Price with respect to Securities of such series, and (ii) on or before the 60th day next preceding each sinking fund Redemption Date with respect to such series of Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee (A) an
Officers’ Certificate specifying the portions of such sinking fund payment to be satisfied by payment of cash and by delivery or credit of Securities of such series acquired by the Company or converted by the Holder thereof, and (B) such
Securities, to the extent not previously surrendered. Such Officers’ Certificate shall also state the basis for such credit and that the Securities for which the Company elects to receive credit have not been previously so credited and were not
acquired by the Company through operation of the mandatory sinking fund, if any, provided with respect to such Securities and shall also state that no Event of Default with respect to Securities of such series has occurred and is continuing. All
Securities so delivered to the Trustee shall be canceled by the Trustee and no Securities shall be authenticated in lieu thereof. 
 If the
sinking fund payment or payments (mandatory or optional) with respect to any series of Securities made in cash plus any unused balance of any preceding sinking fund payments with respect to Securities of such series made in cash shall exceed $50,000
(or a lesser sum if the Company shall so request), unless otherwise provided by the terms of such series of Securities, that cash shall be applied by the Trustee on the sinking fund Redemption Date with respect to Securities of such series next
following the date of such payment to the redemption of Securities of such series at the applicable sinking fund Redemption Price with respect to 

  
 65 








 
Securities of such series, together with accrued interest, if any, to the date fixed for redemption, with the effect provided in Section 11.06. The Trustee shall select, in the manner
provided in Section 11.03, for redemption on such sinking fund Redemption Date a sufficient principal amount of Securities of such series to utilize that cash and shall thereupon cause notice of redemption of the Securities of such series for
the sinking fund to be given in the manner provided in Section 11.04 (and with the effect provided in Section 11.06) for the redemption of Securities in part at the option of the Company. Any sinking fund moneys not so applied or allocated
by the Trustee to the redemption of Securities of such series shall be added to the next cash sinking fund payment with respect to Securities of such series received by the Trustee and, together with such payment, shall be applied in accordance with
the provisions of this Section 11.08. Any and all sinking fund moneys with respect to Securities of any series held by the Trustee at the Maturity of Securities of such series, and not held for the payment or redemption of particular Securities
of such series, shall be applied by the Trustee, together with other moneys, if necessary, to be deposited sufficient for the purpose, to the payment of the principal of the Securities of such series at Maturity. 

On or before each sinking fund Redemption Date provided with respect to Securities of any series, the Company shall pay to the Trustee in cash
a sum equal to all accrued interest, if any, to the date fixed for redemption on Securities to be redeemed on such sinking fund Redemption Date pursuant to this Section 11.08. 

ARTICLE 12. 
 GUARANTEES 

SECTION 12.01 GUARANTEES. 

(a) Each of the Guarantors, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, fully, jointly and severally, irrevocably and
unconditionally guarantees (each, a “Guarantee”), to each Holder of Securities (including each Holder of Securities issued under the Indenture after the date of this Indenture) and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns (i) the
full and punctual payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, and all other monetary obligations of the Company under this Indenture (including
obligations to the Trustee) and the Securities and (ii) the full and punctual performance within applicable grace periods of all other obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the Securities. 

(b) Each of the Guarantors further agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional irrespective of the absence or
existence of any action to enforce the same, the recovery of any judgment against the Company or any other Guarantor (except to the extent such judgment is paid) or any waiver or amendment of the provisions of this Indenture or the Securities to the
extent that any such action or any similar action would otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor (except that each such waiver or amendment shall be effective in accordance with its terms). 

  
 66 








 (c) Each of the Guarantors further agrees that each Guarantee constitutes a
guarantee of payment, performance and compliance and not merely of collection. 
 (d) Each of the Guarantors further agrees
to waive presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to the Company or any other Person, and also waives diligence, notice of acceptance of its Guarantee, presentment, demand for payment, notice of protest for nonpayment, the filing of claims
with a court in the event of merger or bankruptcy of the Company or any other Person and any right to require a proceeding first against the Company or any other Person. The obligations of the Guarantors shall not be affected by any failure or
policy on the part of the Trustee to exercise any right or remedy under this Indenture or the Securities of any series. 

(e) The obligation of each Guarantor to make any payment hereunder may be satisfied by causing the Company or any other Person
to make such payment. 
 (f) If any Holder of any Security or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to
the Company or any Guarantor, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to any of the Company or any Guarantor, any amount paid by any of them to the Trustee or such Holder, the Guarantee of such Guarantor,
to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. 
 (g) Any term or provision of this
Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of each of the Guarantees shall not exceed the maximum amount that can be guaranteed by the relevant Guarantor without rendering the relevant Guarantee under this Indenture
voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally. 

SECTION 12.02 RELEASE OF GUARANTOR 

In the event (a) of the merger, consolidation or sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of a Guarantor (other than
a merger or consolidation with, or sale or disposition of assets to, the Company or another Subsidiary of the Company), or (b) there occurs a transfer, sale or other disposition of the Voting Stock of a Guarantor whereby such Guarantor ceases
to constitute a Subsidiary of the Company, then in any such case such Guarantor or the entity acquiring the assets (in the event of the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor) shall be released and
relieved of any obligations under its Guarantee. Upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect of the foregoing, such Guarantor shall be discharged from all further liability and
obligation under this Indenture and the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under its Guarantee.
