amounts of the Securities of the series to any Securityholder that is not a “United States person” for federal tax purposes.


 


All Securities of any one series shall be substantially
identical except as to denomination and except as may otherwise be provided in or pursuant to any such Board Resolution or in any indentures
supplemental hereto. If any of the terms of the series are established by action taken pursuant to a Board Resolution, a copy of an appropriate
record of such action shall be certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company and delivered to the Trustee at or
prior to the delivery of the Officers’ Certificate setting forth the terms of the series. Securities of any particular series may
be issued at various times, with different dates on which the principal or any installment of principal is payable, with different rates
of interest, if any, or different methods by which rates of interest may be determined, with different dates on which such interest may
be payable and with different redemption dates. Notwithstanding Section 2.01(2) and unless otherwise expressly provided with respect to
a series of Securities, the aggregate principal amount of a series of Securities may be increased and additional Securities of such series
may be issued up to the maximum aggregate principal amount authorized with respect to such series as increased.


 


SECTION 2.02 FORM OF SECURITIES AND TRUSTEE’S CERTIFICATE.


 


The Securities of any series and the Trustee’s
certificate of authentication to be borne by such Securities shall be substantially of the tenor and purport as set forth in one or more
indentures supplemental hereto or as provided in or pursuant to a Board Resolution and as set forth in an Officers’ Certificate.
The Securities may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification or designation and such legends or endorsements printed,
lithographed or engraved thereon as the Company may deem appropriate and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture,
or as may be required to comply with any law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or with any rule or regulation of any
stock exchange on which Securities of that series may be listed, or to conform to usage.

SECTION 2.03 DENOMINATIONS: PROVISIONS FOR PAYMENT.


 


The Securities shall be issuable as registered Securities
and in the denominations of one thousand U.S. dollars ($1,000) or any integral multiple thereof, subject to Section 2.01(11). The Securities
of a particular series shall bear interest payable on the dates and at the rates specified or provided for with respect to that series.
Except as contemplated by Section 2.01(18), the principal of and the interest on the Securities of any series, as well as any premium
thereon in case of redemption thereof prior to maturity, shall be payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America that
at the time is legal tender for public and private debt, at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in [_____________];
provided, however, that at the option of the Company payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled
thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register. Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication by the Trustee.
Except as contemplated by Section 2.01(4), interest on the Securities shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve
30-day months. Except as contemplated by Section 2.01(5), the interest installment on any Security that is payable, and is punctually
paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date for Securities of that series shall be paid to the Person in whose name said Security
(or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the regular record date for such interest installment.
In the event that any Security of a particular series or portion thereof is called for redemption and the redemption date is subsequent
to a regular record date with respect to any Interest Payment Date and prior to such Interest Payment Date, interest on such Security
will be paid upon presentation and surrender of such Security as provided in Section 3.03. Any interest on any Security that is payable,
but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date for Securities of the same series (herein called “Defaulted
Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder on the relevant regular record date by virtue of having
been such Holder; and such Defaulted Interest shall be paid by the Company, at its election, as provided in clause (1) or clause (2) below:


 


(1)   The
Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on Securities to the Persons in whose names 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 not be 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 each Securityholder at his
or her address as it appears in the Security Register (as hereinafter defined), 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 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 on such
special record date.


 


(2)   The
Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on any Securities 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. Unless otherwise set forth in a Board Resolution or one or more indentures supplemental hereto establishing the terms
of any series of Securities pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof, the term “regular record date” as used in this Section with respect
to a series of Securities with respect to any Interest Payment Date for such series shall mean either the fifteenth day of the month immediately
preceding the month in which an Interest Payment Date established for such series pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof shall occur, if such
Interest Payment Date is the first day of a month, or the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which an Interest Payment
Date established for such series pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof shall occur, if such Interest Payment Date is the fifteenth day of a
month, whether or not such date is a Business Day. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Security of a series delivered
under this Indenture upon transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security of such series shall carry the rights to interest
accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, that were carried by such other Security.


 


SECTION 2.04 EXECUTION AND AUTHENTICATION.


 


The Securities shall be signed on behalf of the
Company by its President, or one of its Vice Presidents, or its Treasurer, or one of its Assistant Treasurers, attested by its Secretary
or one of its Assistant Secretaries. Signatures may be in the form of a manual or facsimile signature. The Company may use the facsimile
signature of any Person who shall have been a President or Vice President thereof, or of any Person who shall have been the Treasurer,
an Assistant Treasurer, the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary thereof, notwithstanding the fact that at the time the Securities shall
be authenticated and delivered or disposed of such Person shall have ceased to be the President or a Vice President, or the Treasurer,
an Assistant Treasurer, the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary, of the Company. The Securities may contain such notations, legends or
endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage. A Security shall not be valid until authenticated manually by an authorized
signatory of the Trustee, or by an Authenticating Agent. Such signature shall be conclusive evidence and the only evidence that the Security
so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the Holder is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.
At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series
executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a written order of the Company for the authentication and delivery
of such Securities, signed by its President or any Vice President and its Secretary or any Assistant Secretary, and the Trustee in accordance
with such written order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. In authenticating such Securities and accepting the additional
responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section
7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the form and terms thereof have been established in
conformity with the provisions of this Indenture and 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 any Bankruptcy Law or other insolvency, fraudulent transfer,
reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity
principles and to other customary exceptions. The Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Securities if the issue of such Securities
pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or
otherwise in a manner that is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.


 






    7


     


    

 


SECTION 2.05 REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE.


 


(a)   Securities
of any series may be exchanged upon presentation thereof at the office or agency of the Company designated for such purpose in [_____________],
for other Securities of such series of authorized denominations, and for a like aggregate principal amount, upon payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax or other governmental charge in relation thereto, all as provided in this Section. In respect of any Securities so surrendered
for exchange, the Company shall execute, the Trustee shall authenticate and such office or agency shall deliver in exchange therefor the
Security or Securities of the same series that the Securityholder making the exchange shall be entitled to receive, bearing numbers not
contemporaneously outstanding.


 


(b)   The
Company shall keep, or cause to be kept, at its office or agency designated for such purpose in [_____________], or such other location
designated by the Company a register or registers (herein referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such
reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall register the Securities and the transfers of Securities as in this Article
provided and which at all reasonable times shall be open for inspection by the Trustee. The registrar for the purpose of registering Securities
and transfer of Securities as herein provided shall be appointed as authorized by Board Resolution (the “Security Registrar”).
Upon surrender for transfer of any Security at the office or agency of the Company designated for such purpose, the Company shall execute,
the Trustee shall authenticate and such office or agency shall deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new Security or
Securities of the same series as the Security presented for a like aggregate principal amount. All Securities presented or surrendered
for exchange or registration of transfer, as provided in this Section, shall be accompanied (if so required by the Company or the Security
Registrar) by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Company or the Security Registrar, duly executed
by the registered Holder or by such Holder’s duly authorized attorney in writing.


 


(c)   No
service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of Securities, or issue of new Securities in case of partial
redemption of any series, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in relation
thereto, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 2.06, Section 3.03(b) and Section 9.04 not involving any transfer. The Company shall
not be required (i) to issue, exchange or register the transfer of any Securities during a period beginning at the opening of business
15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of less than all the Outstanding Securities of the same series and ending
at the close of business on the day of such mailing, nor (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Securities of any series or
portions thereof called for redemption. The provisions of this Section 2.05 are, with respect to any Global Security, subject to Section
2.11 hereof.


 


SECTION 2.06 TEMPORARY SECURITIES.


 


Pending the preparation of definitive Securities
of any series, the Company may execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities (printed, lithographed or
typewritten) of any authorized denomination. Such temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of the definitive Securities
in lieu of which they are issued, but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Securities, all
as may be determined by the Company. Every temporary Security of any series shall be executed by the Company and be authenticated by the
Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with like effect, as the definitive Securities of such series.
Without unnecessary delay the Company will execute and will furnish definitive Securities of such series and thereupon any or all temporary
Securities of such series may be surrendered in exchange therefor (without charge to the Holders), at the office or agency of the Company
designated for the purpose in [_____________], and the Trustee shall authenticate and such office or agency shall deliver in exchange
for such temporary Securities an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of such series, unless the Company advises
the Trustee to the effect that definitive Securities need not be executed and furnished until further notice from the Company. Until so
exchanged, the temporary Securities of such series shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities
of such series authenticated and delivered hereunder.


 






    8


     


    

 


SECTION 2.07 MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST OR STOLEN SECURITIES.


 


In case any temporary or definitive Security shall
become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company (subject to the next succeeding sentence) shall execute, and upon the Company’s
request the Trustee (subject as aforesaid) shall authenticate and deliver, a new Security of the same series, bearing a number not contemporaneously
outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated Security, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Security so destroyed,
lost or stolen. In every case the applicant for a substituted Security shall furnish to the Company and the Trustee such security or indemnity
as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish
to the Company and the Trustee evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of the applicant’s Security and
of the ownership thereof. The Trustee may authenticate any such substituted Security and deliver the same upon the written request or
authorization of any officer of the Company. Upon the issuance of any substituted Security, the Company may require the payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the
fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. In case any Security that has matured or is about to mature shall become mutilated
or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company may, instead of issuing a substitute Security, pay or authorize the payment of the same (without
surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Security) if the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the Company and the Trustee
such security or indemnity as they may require to save them harmless, and, in case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence to the satisfaction
of the Company and the Trustee of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security and of the ownership thereof. Every replacement Security
issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Company whether or not
the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be found at any time, or be 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.
All Securities shall be held and owned upon the express condition that the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement
or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities, and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) any and all other rights or remedies,
notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment of negotiable
instruments or other securities without their surrender.


 


SECTION 2.08 CANCELLATION.


 


All Securities surrendered for the purpose of payment,
redemption, exchange or registration of transfer shall, if surrendered to the Company or any paying agent, be delivered to the Trustee
for cancellation, or, if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be cancelled by it, and no Securities shall be issued in lieu thereof except
as expressly required or permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. On request of the Company at the time of such surrender,
the Trustee shall deliver to the Company canceled Securities held by the Trustee. In the absence of such request the Trustee may dispose
of canceled Securities in accordance with its standard procedures and deliver a certificate of disposition to the Company. If the Company
shall otherwise acquire any of the Securities, however, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness
represented by such Securities unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.


 


SECTION 2.09 BENEFITS OF INDENTURE.


 


Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities,
express or implied, shall give or be construed to give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and the Holders of the Securities
(and, with respect to the provisions of Article XIV, the holders of Senior Indebtedness) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim
under or in respect of this Indenture, or under any covenant, condition or provision herein contained; all such covenants, conditions
and provisions being for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and of the Holders of the Securities (and, with respect to the provisions
of Article XIV, the holder of Senior Indebtedness).


 






    9


     


    

 


SECTION 2.10 AUTHENTICATING AGENT.


 


So long as any of the Securities of any series remain
Outstanding there may be an Authenticating Agent for any or all such series of Securities which the Trustee shall have the right to appoint.
Said Authenticating Agent shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series issued upon exchange,
transfer or partial redemption thereof, 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. All references in this Indenture to the authentication
of Securities by the Trustee shall be deemed to include authentication by an Authenticating Agent for such series. Each Authenticating
Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall be a corporation that has a combined capital and surplus, as most recently reported
or determined by it, sufficient under the laws of any jurisdiction under which it is organized or in which it is doing business to conduct
a trust business, and that is otherwise authorized under such laws to conduct such business and is subject to supervision or examination
by federal or state authorities. If at any time any Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with these provisions,
it shall resign immediately. Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee and
to the Company. The Trustee may at any time (and upon request by the Company shall) terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by
giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon resignation, termination or cessation of eligibility
of any Authenticating Agent, the Trustee may appoint an eligible successor Authenticating Agent acceptable to the Company. Any successor
Authenticating Agent, upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder, shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its
predecessor hereunder as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent pursuant hereto. 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 the corporate agency or corporate trust business
of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided that such corporation 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.


 


SECTION 2.11 GLOBAL SECURITIES.


 


(a)   If
the Company shall establish pursuant to Section 2.01 that the Securities of a particular series are to be issued as a Global Security,
then the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with Section 2.04, authenticate and deliver, a Global Security that


 


(1)   shall
represent, and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of, all or a portion of the Outstanding Securities
of such series,


 


(2)   shall
be registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee,


 


(3)   shall
be delivered by the Trustee to the Depositary or pursuant to the Depositary’s instruction, and


 


(4)   shall
bear a legend substantially to the following effect: “Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.11 of the Indenture, this Security
may be transferred, in whole but not in part, only to the Depositary, another nominee of the Depositary or to a successor Depositary or
to a nominee of such successor Depositary.”


 


(b)   Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 2.05, the Global Security of a series may be transferred, in whole but not in part and in the manner provided
in Section 2.05, only to the Depositary for such series, another nominee of the Depositary for such series, or to a successor Depositary
for such series selected or approved by the Company or to a nominee of such successor Depositary.


 






    10


     


    

 


(c)   If
at any time the Depositary for a series of the Securities notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary
for such series or if at any time the Depositary for such series shall no longer be registered or in good standing under the Exchange
Act, or other applicable statute or regulation, and a successor Depositary for such series is not appointed by the Company within 90 days
after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such condition, as the case may be, this Section 2.11 shall no longer be applicable
to the Securities of such series and the Company will execute, and subject to Section 2.05, the Trustee will authenticate and deliver
the Securities of such series in definitive registered form without coupons, in authorized denominations, and in an aggregate principal
amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security of such series in exchange for such Global Security. In addition, the Company
may at any time determine that the Securities of any series shall no longer be represented by a Global Security and that the provisions
of this Section 2.11 shall no longer apply to the Securities of such series. In such event the Company will execute and subject to Section
2.05, the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officers’ Certificate evidencing such determination by the Company, will authenticate and
deliver the Securities of such series in definitive registered form without coupons, in authorized denominations, and in an aggregate
principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security of such series in exchange for such Global Security. Upon the exchange
of the Global Security for such Securities in definitive registered form without coupons, in authorized denominations, the Global Security
shall be canceled by the Trustee. Such Securities in definitive registered form issued in exchange for the Global Security pursuant to
this Section 2.11(c) shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary, pursuant to instructions
from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver such Securities to the Depositary
for delivery to the Persons in whose names such Securities are so registered.


 


(d)   None
of the Trustee, the Security Registrar or any paying agent shall have any responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner in a Global
Security, a member of, or a participant in the Depositary or other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depositary
or its nominee or of any participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Securities or with respect to the
delivery to any participant, member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than the Depositary) of any notice (including any notice
of redemption) or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to such Securities. All notices and communications to be given to the
Securityholders and all payments to be made to Securityholders under the Securities and this Indenture shall be given or made only to
or upon the order of the registered holders (which shall be the Depositary or its nominee in the case of the Global Security). The rights
of beneficial owners in the Global Security shall be exercised only through the Depositary subject to the applicable procedures. The Trustee,
the Security Registrar and any paying agent shall be entitled to rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished
by the Depositary with respect to its members, participants and any beneficial owners. The Trustee, the Security Registrar and any paying
agent shall be entitled to deal with any depositary (including the Depositary), and any nominee thereof, that is the registered holder
of any Global Security for all purposes of this Indenture relating to such Global Security (including the payment of principal, premium,
if any, and interest and additional amounts, if any, and the giving of instructions or directions by or to the owner or holder of a beneficial
ownership interest in such Global Security) as the sole holder of such Global Security and shall have no obligations to the beneficial
owners thereof. None of the Trustee, the Security Registrar or any paying agent shall have any responsibility or liability for any acts
or omissions of any such depositary with respect to such Global Security, for the records of any such depositary, including records in
respect of beneficial ownership interests in respect of any such Global Security, for any transactions between such depositary and any
participant in such depositary or between or among any such depositary, any such participant and/or any holder or owner of a beneficial
interest in such Global Security, or for any transfers of beneficial interests in any such Global Security.


 


Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any
Global Security, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee, the Security Registrar, any paying agent, or any other agent of
the Company or any agent of the Trustee, from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by any
depositary (including the Depositary), as a Securityholder, with respect to such Global Security or impair, as between such depositary
and owners of beneficial interests in such Global Security, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights
of such depositary (or its nominee) as Holder of such Global Security.

ARTICLE III


REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES AND SINKING FUND PROVISIONS


 


SECTION 3.01 REDEMPTION.


 


The Company may redeem the Securities of any series
issued hereunder on and after the dates and in accordance with the terms established for such series pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof.


 


SECTION 3.02 NOTICE OF REDEMPTION.


 


(a)   In
case the Company shall desire to exercise such right to redeem all or, as the case may be, a portion of the Securities of any series in
accordance with the right reserved so to do, the Company shall (upon five Business Days prior notice to the Trustee, unless a shorter
notice period shall be acceptable to the Trustee), or shall cause the Trustee to, give notice of such redemption to Holders of the Securities
of such series to be redeemed by mailing, first class postage prepaid, a notice of such redemption not less than 30 days and not more
than 90 days before the date fixed for redemption of that series to such Holders at their last addresses as they shall appear upon the
Security Register unless a shorter period is specified in the Securities to be redeemed. Any notice that is mailed in the manner herein
provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the registered Holder receives the notice. In any case,
failure duly to give such notice to the Holder of any Security of any series designated for redemption in whole or in part, or any defect
in the notice, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Securities of such series or any other
series. In the case of any redemption of Securities prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms
of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate evidencing
compliance with any such restriction. Each such notice of redemption shall specify the date fixed for redemption and the redemption price
at which Securities of that series are to be redeemed, and shall state that payment of the redemption price of such Securities to be redeemed
will be made at the office or agency of the Company in [_____________], upon presentation and surrender of such Securities, that interest
accrued to the date fixed for redemption will be paid as specified in said notice, that from and after said date interest will cease to
accrue and that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case. If less than all the Securities of a series are to be redeemed,
the notice to the Holders of Securities of that series to be redeemed in whole or in part shall specify the particular Securities to be
so redeemed. In case any Security is to be redeemed in part only, the notice that relates to such Security shall state the portion of
the principal amount thereof to be redeemed, and shall state that on and after the redemption date, upon surrender of such Security, a
new Security or Securities of such series in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued.


 


If less than all the Securities of a series are
to be redeemed, the Company shall give the Trustee at least 45 days’ notice in advance of the date fixed for redemption as to the
aggregate principal amount of Securities of the series to be redeemed, and thereupon the Trustee shall select, by lot or in such other
manner as it shall deem appropriate and fair in its discretion and that may provide for the selection of a portion or portions (equal
to one thousand U.S. dollars ($1,000) or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal amount of such Securities of a denomination larger
than $1,000, the Securities to be redeemed and shall thereafter promptly notify the Company in writing of the numbers of the Securities
to be redeemed, in whole or in part. The Company may, if and whenever it shall so elect, by delivery of instructions signed on its behalf
by its President or any Vice President, instruct the Trustee or any paying agent to call all or any part of the Securities of a particular
series for redemption and to give notice of redemption in the manner set forth in this Section, such notice to be in the name of the Company
or its own name as the Trustee or such paying agent as it may deem advisable. In any case in which notice of redemption is to be given
by the Trustee or any such paying agent, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to, or permit to remain with, the Trustee
or such paying agent, as the case may be, such Security Register, transfer books or other records, or suitable copies or extracts therefrom,
sufficient to enable the Trustee or such paying agent to give any notice by mail that may be required under the provisions of this Section.


 


SECTION 3.03 PAYMENT UPON REDEMPTION.


 


(a)   If
the giving of notice of redemption shall have been completed as above provided, the Securities or portions of Securities of the series
to be redeemed specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the date and at the place stated in such notice at the applicable
redemption price, together with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption and interest on such Securities or portions of Securities
shall cease to accrue on and after the date fixed for redemption, unless the Company shall default in the payment of such redemption price
and accrued interest with respect to any such Security or portion thereof. On presentation and surrender of such Securities on or after
the date fixed for redemption at the place of payment specified in the notice, said Securities shall be paid and redeemed at the applicable
redemption price for such series, together with interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption (but if the date fixed for redemption
is an Interest Payment Date, the interest installment payable on such date shall be payable to the registered Holder at the close of business
on the applicable record date pursuant to Section 2.03).


 


(b)   Upon
presentation of any Security of such series that is to be redeemed in part only, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate
and the office or agency where the Security is presented shall deliver to the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Security
of the same series of authorized denominations in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Security so presented.


 






    12


     


    

 


SECTION 3.04 SINKING FUND.


 


The provisions of Sections 3.04, 3.05 and 3.06 shall
be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of a series, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section
2.01 for Securities of such series. The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of Securities of any series
is herein referred to as a “mandatory sinking fund payment,” and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for
by the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment”. If provided for by the
terms of Securities of any series, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 3.05.
Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities of any series as provided for by the terms of Securities of
such series.


 


SECTION 3.05 SATISFACTION OF SINKING FUND PAYMENTS WITH
SECURITIES.


 


The Company,


 


(1)   may
deliver Outstanding Securities of a series (other than any Securities previously called for redemption) and


 


(2)   may

or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Securities, in each case in satisfaction
of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities of such series required to be made pursuant to the terms
of such Securities as provided for by the terms of such series, provided that such Securities have not been previously so credited. Such
Securities shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the redemption price specified in such Securities for redemption
through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly.

be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities of that series pursuant to Section 3.05 and the basis for such credit and will, together
with such Officers’ Certificate, deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so delivered. Not less than 30 days before each such

the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, notices and demands.


 


The Company may also from time to time designate
one or more other offices or agencies where the Securities of one or more series may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes
and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve
the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in [_____________] for Securities of any series for such purposes. The Company
will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other
office or agency.

(a)   If
the Company shall appoint one or more paying agents for all or any series of the Securities, other than the Trustee, the Company will
cause each such paying agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject
to the provisions of this Section:


 


(1)   that
it will hold all sums held by it as such agent for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on the Securities
of that series (whether such sums have been paid to it by the Company or by any other obligor of such Securities) in trust for the benefit
of the Persons entitled thereto;


 


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


 


(3)   that
it will, at any time during the continuance of any failure referred to in the preceding paragraph (a)(2) above, upon the written request
of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such paying agent; and


 


(4)   that
it will perform all other duties of paying agent as set forth in this Indenture.


 


(b)   If
the Company shall act as its own paying agent with respect to any series of the Securities, it will on or before each due date of the
principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on Securities of that series, set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of
the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay such principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due on Securities of
that series until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and will promptly notify the Trustee
of such action, or any failure (by it or any other obligor on such Securities) to take such action. Whenever the Company shall have one
or more paying agents for any series of Securities, it will, prior to each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest
on any Securities of that series, deposit with the 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, premium or interest, and (unless
such paying agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of this action or failure so to act.


 






    14


     


    

 


(c)   Notwithstanding
anything in this Section to the contrary,


 


(1)   the
agreement to hold sums in trust as provided in this Section is subject to the provisions of Section 11.05, and


 


(2)   the
Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay,
or direct any paying agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such paying agent, such sums to be held by
the Trustee upon the same terms and conditions 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.


 


SECTION 4.04 APPOINTMENT TO FILL VACANCY IN OFFICE OF
TRUSTEE.


 


The Company, whenever necessary to avoid or fill
a vacancy in the office of Trustee, will appoint, in the manner provided in Section 7.11, a Trustee, so that there shall at all times
be a Trustee hereunder.


 


SECTION 4.05 COMPLIANCE WITH CONSOLIDATION PROVISIONS.


 


The Company will not, while any of the Securities
remain Outstanding, consolidate with or merge into any other Person, in either case where the Company is not the survivor of such transaction,
or sell, convey, transfer or otherwise dispose of its property as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, to any other Person unless
the provisions of Article X hereof are complied with.


 


SECTION 4.06 STATEMENT BY OFFICERS AS TO DEFAULT.


 


The Company will deliver to the Trustee, within

or governmental body):


 


(1) the
Company defaults in the payment of any installment of interest upon any of the Securities of that series, as and when the same shall become
due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 90 days; provided, however, that a valid extension of an interest payment
period by the Company in accordance with the terms of any indenture supplemental hereto shall not constitute a default in the payment
of interest for this purpose;


 






    16


     


    

 


(2) the
Company defaults in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any of the Securities of that series as and when the same

or analogous fund established with respect to that series; provided, however, that a valid extension of the maturity of such Securities
in accordance with the terms of any indenture supplemental hereto shall not constitute a default in the payment of principal or premium,
if any;


 


(3) the
Company fails to observe or perform any other of its covenants or agreements with respect to that series contained in this Indenture or
otherwise established with respect to that series of Securities pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof (other than a covenant or agreement that
has been expressly included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of one or more series of Securities other than such series) for a
period of 90 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied and stating that such notice
is a “Notice of Default” hereunder, shall have been given to the Company by the Trustee, by registered or certified mail,
or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Securities of that series at the time Outstanding;


 


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


 


(i) commences

a Custodian of the Company for all or substantially all of its property, or


 


(iii) orders
the liquidation of the Company, and the order remains unstayed and in effect for 90 days.


 


(b) In
each and every such case, unless the principal of all the Securities of that 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 that series then Outstanding hereunder,
by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by such Securityholders), may declare the principal of all the Securities
of that series to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and
payable, notwithstanding anything contained in this Indenture or in the Securities of that series or established with respect to that
series pursuant to Section 2.01 to the contrary.


 


(c) At
any time after the principal of the Securities of that series shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or
decree for the payment of the moneys due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Securities of that series then Outstanding hereunder, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind
and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest upon all the Securities of
that series and the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any and all Securities of that series that shall have become due otherwise
than by acceleration (with interest upon such principal and premium, if any, and, to the extent that such payment is enforceable under
applicable law, upon overdue installments of interest, at the rate per annum expressed in the Securities of that series to the date of
such payment or deposit) and the amount payable to the Trustee under Section 7.07, and


 






    17


     


    

 


(ii) any
and all Events of Default under the Indenture with respect to such series, other than the nonpayment of principal on Securities of that
series that shall not have become due by their terms, shall have been remedied or waived as provided in Section 6.06. No such rescission
and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.


 


(d) In
case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right with respect to Securities of that series under this Indenture and such proceedings
shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of such rescission or annulment or for any other reason or shall have been determined
adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceedings, the Company, and the Trustee
shall be restored respectively to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Company and
the Trustee shall continue as though no such proceedings had been taken.


 


SECTION 6.02 COLLECTION OF INDEBTEDNESS AND SUITS FOR
ENFORCEMENT BY TRUSTEE.

it shall default in the payment of any installment of interest on any of the Securities of a series, as and when the same shall have become
due and payable, and such default shall have continued for a period of 90 days, or


 


(ii) in
case it shall default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any of the Securities of a series when the same shall
have become due and payable, whether upon maturity of the Securities of a series or upon redemption or upon declaration, pursuant to any
sinking or analogous fund established with respect to that series or otherwise, then, upon demand of the Trustee, the Company will pay
to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of that series, the whole amount that then shall have been become due
and payable on all such Securities for principal (and premium, if any) or interest, or both, as the case may be, with interest upon the
overdue principal (and premium, if any) and (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) upon overdue
installments of interest at the rate per annum expressed in the Securities of that series; and, in addition thereto, such further amount
as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, and the amount payable to the Trustee under Section 7.07.


 


(b) If
the Company shall fail to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust,
shall be entitled and empowered to institute any action or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid,
and may prosecute any such action or proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against
the Company or other obligor upon the Securities of that series and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner
provided by law out of the property of the Company or other obligor upon the Securities of that series, wherever situated.


 


(c) In
case of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, readjustment, arrangement, composition or judicial proceedings
affecting the Company, or its creditors or property, the Trustee shall have power to intervene in such proceedings and take any action
therein that may be permitted by the court and shall (except as may be otherwise provided by law) be entitled to file such proofs of claim
and other papers and documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and of the Holders of Securities
of such series allowed for the entire amount due and payable by the Company under the Indenture at the date of institution of such proceedings
and for any additional amount that may become due and payable by the Company after such date, and to collect and receive any moneys or
other property payable or deliverable on any such claim, and to distribute the same after the deduction of the amount payable to the Trustee
under Section 7.07; and any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization is hereby authorized by each of the Holders
of Securities of such series to make such payments to the Trustee, and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such
payments directly to such Securityholders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it under Section 7.07.


 






    18


     


    

 


(d) All
rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the terms established with respect to Securities of that
series, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of such Securities, or the production thereof at any trial or other
proceeding relative thereto, and any such suit or proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of
an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for payment to the Trustee of any amounts due under Section 7.07,
be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such series. In case of an Event of Default hereunder, the Trustee may
in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings as
the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of such rights, either at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise,
whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in the Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted
in this Indenture, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law. Nothing contained
herein 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 of that series or the rights of any Holder thereof
or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Securityholder in any such proceeding.


 


SECTION 6.03 APPLICATION OF MONEYS COLLECTED.

this Article with respect to a particular series of Securities and any money or other property distributable in respect of the company’s
obligations under this Indenture after an Event of Default shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the
Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such moneys on account of principal (or premium, if any) or interest, upon presentation of
the Securities of that series, and notation thereon of the payment, if only partially paid, and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:


 


FIRST: To the payment of costs and expenses of collection
and of all amounts payable to the Trustee (including any predecessor Trustee) under Section 7.07;


 


SECOND: To the payment of all Senior Indebtedness
of the Company if and to the extent required by Article XIV or other subordination provisions applicable with respect to such series;
and


 


THIRD: To the payment of the amounts then due and
unpaid upon Securities of such 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.


 


SECTION 6.04 LIMITATION ON SUITS.


 


No Holder of any Security of any series shall have
any right by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law
upon or under or with respect to this Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless


 


(1) such
Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of an Event of Default and of the continuance thereof with respect to
the Securities of such series specifying such Event of Default, as hereinbefore provided;


 


(2) the
Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series then Outstanding shall have made written request
upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as trustee hereunder;


 


(3) such
Holder or Holders shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities
to be incurred therein or thereby; and


 


(4) the
Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have failed to institute any such action,
suit or proceeding and


 


(5) during
such 60 day period, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of that series do not give the Trustee a direction
inconsistent with the request.


 


Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary, the right of any Holder of any Security to receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such Security,
as therein provided, on the respective due dates expressed in such Security (or in the case of redemption, on the redemption date), or
to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates or redemption date, shall not be impaired
or affected without the consent of such Holder and by accepting a Security hereunder it is expressly understood, intended and covenanted
by the taker and Holder of every Security of such series with every other such taker and Holder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders
of Securities of such series shall have any right in any manner whatsoever by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture
to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other of such Securities, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over
or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the
equal, ratable and common benefit of all Holders of Securities of such series. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of
this Section, each and every Securityholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.


 






    19


     


    

 


SECTION 6.05 RIGHTS AND REMEDIES CUMULATIVE; DELAY OR
OMISSION NOT WAIVER.


 


(a) Except
as otherwise provided in Section 2.07, all powers and remedies given by this Article to the Trustee or to the Securityholders shall, to
the extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any other powers and remedies available to the Trustee or the Holders
of the Securities, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the covenants and agreements contained
in this Indenture or otherwise established with respect to such Securities.


 


(b) No
delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any of the Securities to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event of Default
occurring and continuing as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or
on acquiescence therein; and, subject to the provisions of Section 6.04, every power and remedy given by this Article or by law to the
Trustee or the Securityholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the
Securityholders.


 


SECTION 6.06 CONTROL BY SECURITYHOLDERS.


 


The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Securities of any series at the time Outstanding, determined in accordance with Section 8.01, 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 such series; provided, however, that such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with
this Indenture or be unduly prejudicial to the rights of Holders of Securities of any other series at the time Outstanding determined
in accordance with Section 8.01. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any
such direction if the Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee, determine that the proceeding
so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities
of any series at the time Outstanding affected thereby, determined in accordance with Section 8.01, may on behalf of the holders of all
of the Securities of such series waive any past default in the performance of any of the covenants contained herein or established pursuant
to Section 2.01 with respect to such series and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if
any) or interest on, any of the Securities of that series as and when the same shall become due by the terms of such Securities otherwise
than by acceleration (unless such default has been cured and a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest and principal
and any premium has been deposited with the Trustee (in accordance with Section 6.01(c)) or in respect of a covenant or provision hereof
which under Article IX cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected. Upon any
such waiver, the default covered thereby shall be deemed to be cured for all purposes of this Indenture and the Company, the Trustee and
the Holders of the Securities of such series shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such
waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.


 


SECTION 6.07 UNDERTAKING TO PAY COSTS.


 


All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder
of any Securities by such Holder’s 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, 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
more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, 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 any Security of such series, on or after the
respective due dates expressed in such Security or established pursuant to this Indenture.

(a) The
Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of a series and after the curing of all Events

into this Indenture against the Trustee. In case an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of a series has occurred (that has
not been cured or waived), the Trustee shall exercise with respect to Securities of that 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 man would exercise or use under the circumstances
in the conduct of his own affairs.


 


(b) No
provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure
to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:


 


(i) prior
to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of a series and after the curing or waiving of all such Events
of Default with respect to that series that may have occurred: the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall with respect to the Securities
of such series be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to the
Securities of such series except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and
no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and in the absence of bad faith on the part
of the Trustee, the Trustee may with respect to the Securities of such series conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and
the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any 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 that 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 requirement of this
Indenture;


 


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


 


(iii) the
Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction
of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities of any series at the time Outstanding 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 that series; and


 


(iv) this
Subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of Subsection (c) of this Section 7.01.


 


(c) None
of the provisions contained in 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, it shall have reasonable
grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.


 


(d) The
Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of or be charged with having knowledge of any Default or Event of Default with respect to any
series of Securities, except Events of Default under Section 6.01(a)(1) or (a)(2), if and so long as it is acting as paying agent with
respect to the Securities of such series, unless written notice of such Default Event or Event of Default, as the case may be, is received
by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee from the Company or any Holder of Securities of such series, and such notice
references the Securities and this Indenture.


 






    21


     


    

 


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


 


SECTION 7.02 NOTICE OF DEFAULTS.


 


If a Default occurs hereunder with respect to Securities
of any series and is known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall give the Holders of Securities of such series notice
of such Default as and to the extent provided by the Trust Indenture Act; provided, however, that in the case of any Default of the character
specified in clause (3) of Section 6.01(a) with respect to Securities of such series, no such notice to Holders shall be given until at
least 30 days after the occurrence thereof.

Securities (that has not been cured or waived) to exercise with respect to Securities of that series such of the rights and powers vested
in it by this Indenture, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under
the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs;

on its part, conclusively rely upon an Officers’ Certificate;


 


(i) the
rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified,

(k) the
permissive right of the Trustee to take or refrain from taking any actions enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty;


 


(l) anything
in this Indenture notwithstanding, in no event shall the Trustee be liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage
of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to loss of profit), even if the Company or Guarantor has been advised as to the likelihood
of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action;


 


(m) the
Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Indenture arising

SECTION 7.05 MAY HOLD SECURITIES.

and expenses of defending itself against any claim whether asserted by the Company, any Securityholder or any other Person or liability
including the compensation and expense of counsel in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder.


 






    23


     


    

 


(b) The
obligations of the Company under this Section to compensate and indemnify the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for expenses,
disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder. Such additional indebtedness shall be secured by a lien

benefit of the Holders of particular Securities.


 


(c) To
the extent permitted by law, any compensation due or expense incurred by the Trustee after a default specified in or pursuant to Section
6.01 is intended to constitute an expense of administration under any then applicable bankruptcy or insolvency law. “Trustee”
for purposes of this Section 7.07 shall include any predecessor Trustee but the negligence or bad faith of any Trustee shall not affect
the rights of any other Trustee under this Section 7.07.


 


(d) The

in the administration of the provisions of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or
established prior to taking or suffering or omitting to take any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof
be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively
proved and established by an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee and such certificate, in the absence of negligence or
bad faith on the part of the Trustee, shall be full warranty to the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it
under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof.


 


SECTION 7.09 DISQUALIFICATION; CONFLICTING INTERESTS.


 


If the Trustee has or shall acquire any “conflicting
interest” within the meaning of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee and the Company shall in all respects comply
with the provisions of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act, subject to the penultimate paragraph thereof. For purposes of Section
310(b)(i) of the Trust Indenture Act and to the extent permitted thereby, the Trustee, in its capacity as trustee in respect of the Securities

not, nor may any Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Company, serve as Trustee.
In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall resign

    24


     


    

 


SECTION 7.11 RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL; APPOINTMENT OF
SUCCESSOR.


 


(a) The
Trustee or any successor hereafter appointed, may at any time resign with respect to the Securities of one or more series by giving written
notice thereof to the Company and by transmitting notice of resignation by mail, first class postage prepaid, to the Securityholders of
such series, as their names and addresses appear upon the Security Register. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Company shall
promptly appoint a successor trustee with respect to Securities of such series by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order
of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee.
If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the mailing of such notice of
resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee with respect
to Securities of such series, or any Securityholder of that series who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security or Securities for at
least six months may on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor
trustee. Such court may thereupon after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee.


 


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


 


(i) the
Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of Section 7.09 after written request therefor by the Company or by any Securityholder
who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security or Securities for at least six months; or


 


(ii) the
Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.10 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor
by the Company or by any such Securityholder; or


 


(iii) the
Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or commence a voluntary bankruptcy proceeding,
or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or consented to, 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, the
Company may remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed
by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor
trustee, or, unless, in the case of a failure to comply with Section 7.09, the Trustee’s duty to resign is stayed as provided in
the penultimate paragraph of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act, any Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security
or Securities for at least six months may, on behalf of that Holder and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon after such notice, if
any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee.


 


(c) The
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any series at the time Outstanding may at any time remove the
Trustee with respect to such series by so notifying the Trustee and the Company and may appoint a successor Trustee for such series with
the consent of the Company.


 


(d) Any
resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee with respect to the Securities of a series pursuant to any
of the provisions of this Section shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section
7.12.


 


(e) Any
successor trustee appointed pursuant to this Section may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more series or all of such
series, and at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any particular series.


 


SECTION 7.12 ACCEPTANCE OF APPOINTMENT BY SUCCESSOR.


 


(a) In
case of the appointment hereunder of a successor trustee with respect to all Securities, every such successor trustee so appointed shall
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the
resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance,
shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company or the
successor trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor
trustee all the rights, powers, and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor trustee
all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder, subject nevertheless to the lien provided for in Section 7.07.


 






    25


     


    

 


(b) In
case of the appointment hereunder of a successor trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company,
the retiring Trustee and each successor trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture
supplemental hereto wherein each successor trustee shall accept such appointment and which


 


(i) shall
contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor trustee all the
rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment
of such successor trustee relates,


 


(ii) shall
contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring
Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested
in the retiring Trustee, and


 


(iii) 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, 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 that no Trustee shall be responsible for any act or failure
to act on the part of any other Trustee hereunder; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation
or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein, such retiring Trustee shall with respect to
the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor trustee relates have no further responsibility for the
exercise of rights and powers or for the performance of the duties and obligations vested in the Trustee under this Indenture, 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, to the extent contemplated by such supplemental indenture, the property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with
respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor trustee relates, subject nevertheless to
the lien provided for in Section 7.07.


 


(c) Upon
request of any such successor trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming
to such successor trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, as the case may be.


 


(d) No
successor trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be qualified and eligible
under this Article.


 


(e) Upon
acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section, the Company shall transmit notice of the succession of such
trustee hereunder by mail, first class postage prepaid, to the Securityholders, as their names and addresses appear upon the Security
Register. If the Company fails to transmit such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor
trustee shall cause such notice to be transmitted at the expense of the Company.


 


SECTION 7.13 MERGER, CONVERSION, CONSOLIDATION OR SUCCESSION
TO BUSINESS.


 


Any Person into which the Trustee may be merged
or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee
shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor
of the Trustee hereunder, provided that such Person shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 7.09 and eligible under the provisions
of Section 7.10, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein
to the contrary notwithstanding. In case 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.


 






    26


     


    

 


SECTION 7.14 PREFERENTIAL COLLECTION OF CLAIMS AGAINST
THE COMPANY.


 


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


 


ARTICLE VIII

CONCERNING THE SECURITYHOLDERS


 


SECTION 8.01 EVIDENCE OF ACTION BY SECURITYHOLDERS.


 


Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the
Holders of a majority or specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of a particular series may take any action
(including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action), the fact
that at the time of taking any such action the Holders of such majority or specified percentage of that series have joined therein may
be evidenced by any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by such Holders of Securities of that series in
Person or by agent or proxy appointed in writing. If the Company shall solicit from the Securityholders of any series any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, the Company may, at its option, as evidenced by an Officers’
Certificate, fix in advance a record date for such series for the determination of Securityholders entitled to give such request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so. 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 Securityholders of record at the close of business on the record date shall be deemed to be Securityholders
for the purposes of determining whether Securityholders of the requisite proportion of Outstanding Securities of that series have authorized
or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, and for that purpose
the Outstanding Securities of that series shall be computed as of the record date; provided, however, that no such authorization, agreement
or consent by such Securityholders on the record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions
of this Indenture not later than six months after the record date.


 


SECTION 8.02 PROOF OF EXECUTION BY SECURITYHOLDERS.


 


Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, proof
of the execution of any instrument by a Securityholder (such proof will not require notarization) or his agent or proxy and proof of the
holding by any Person of any of the Securities shall be sufficient if made in the following manner:


 


(a) The
fact and date of the execution by any such Person of any instrument may be proved in any reasonable manner acceptable to the Trustee.


 


(b) The
ownership of Securities shall be proved by the Security Register of such Securities or by a certificate of the Security Registrar thereof.


 


(c) The
Trustee may require such additional proof of any matter referred to in this Section as it shall deem necessary.


 


SECTION 8.03 WHO MAY BE DEEMED OWNERS.


 


Prior to the due presentment for registration of
transfer of any Security, the Company, the Trustee, any paying agent and any Security Registrar may deem and treat the Person in whose
name such Security shall be registered upon the books of the Company as the absolute owner of such Security (whether or not such Security
shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notice of ownership or writing thereon made by anyone other than the Security Registrar) for
the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 2.03) interest on
such Security and for all other purposes; and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any paying agent nor any Security Registrar shall
be affected by any notice to the contrary.


 






    27


     


    

 


SECTION 8.04 CERTAIN SECURITIES OWNED BY COMPANY DISREGARDED.


 


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


 


SECTION 8.05 ACTIONS BINDING ON FUTURE SECURITYHOLDERS.


 


At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing
to the Trustee, as provided in Section 8.01, of the taking of any action by the Holders of the majority or percentage in aggregate principal
amount of the Securities of a particular series specified in this Indenture in connection with such action, any Holder of a Security of
that series that is shown by the evidence to be included in the Securities the Holders of which have consented to such action may, by
filing written notice with the Trustee, and upon proof of holding as provided in Section 8.02, revoke such action so far as concerns such
Security. Except as aforesaid any such action taken by the Holder of any Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and
upon all future Holders and owners of such Security, and of any Security issued in exchange therefor, on registration of transfer thereof
or in place thereof, irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Security. Any action taken by the
Holders of the majority or percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of a particular series specified in this Indenture
in connection with such action shall be conclusively binding upon the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of all the Securities of that
series.


 


ARTICLE IX

of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, pursuant to the requirements of Section 7.12.


 


The Trustee is hereby authorized to join with the
Company in the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may
be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any such supplemental indenture that affects the Trustee’s
own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.


 


Any supplemental indenture authorized by the provisions
of this Section may be executed by the Company and the Trustee without the consent of the Holders of any of the Securities at the time
Outstanding, notwithstanding any of the provisions of Section 9.02.


 


SECTION 9.02 SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES WITH CONSENT OF
SECURITYHOLDERS.


 


With the consent (evidenced as provided in Section
8.01) of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each series affected by such supplemental
indenture or indentures at the time Outstanding, the Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may from time to
time and at any time enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto (which shall conform to the provisions of the Trust Indenture
Act as then in effect) 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 not covered by Section 9.01 the rights of the Holders of the
Securities of such series under this Indenture; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the
Holders of each Security then Outstanding and affected thereby:


 


(1) change
the maturity of the principal of, or any installment of principal of or interest on, any Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof
or the rate of interest thereon or any premium payable upon the redemption thereof, or reduce the amount of the principal of an Original
Issue Discount Security or any other Security which would be due and payable upon a declaration of acceleration of the maturity thereof
pursuant to Section 6.01 or change 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 thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on
or after the redemption date); or


 


(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 certain defaults hereunder and their consequences
provided for in this Indenture;


 


(3) modify
any of the provisions of this Section or Section 6.06 relating to waivers of default, 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; provided, however, that this clause shall not be deemed to require the consent of any Holder with respect to changes
in the references to “the Trustee” and concomitant changes in this Section, or the deletion of this proviso, in accordance
with the requirements of Sections 7.12 and 9.01(8); or


 


(4) modify
the provisions of this Indenture with respect to the subordination of such Security in a manner adverse to the holder thereof.


 


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

SECTION 9.03 EFFECT OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES.


 


Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture
pursuant to the provisions of this Article or of Section 10.01, this Indenture shall, with respect to such series, be and be deemed to
be modified and amended in accordance therewith and the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities under
this Indenture of the Trustee, the Company and the Holders of Securities of the series affected thereby shall thereafter be determined,
exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments, and all the terms and conditions of any
such supplemental indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes.


 


SECTION 9.04 SECURITIES AFFECTED BY SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES.


 


Securities of any series, affected by a supplemental
indenture, authenticated and delivered after the execution of such supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article or
of Section 10.01, may bear a notation in form approved by the Company, provided such form meets the requirements of any exchange upon
which such series may be listed, as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Company shall so determine, new
Securities of that series so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Board of Directors of the Company, to any modification of this
Indenture contained in any such supplemental indenture may be prepared by the Company, authenticated by the Trustee and delivered in exchange
for the Securities of that series then Outstanding.


 


SECTION 9.05 EXECUTION OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES.


 


Upon the request of the Company, accompanied by
its Board Resolutions authorizing the execution of any supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence of any
requisite consents of Securityholders required to consent thereto as aforesaid, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution
of such supplemental indenture unless such supplemental indenture affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this
Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion but shall not be obligated to enter into such supplemental indenture.
The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, shall be entitled to receive an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that
any supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article is authorized or permitted by, and conforms to, the terms of this Article
and that it is proper for the Trustee under the provisions of this Article to join in the execution thereof.


 


Promptly after the execution by the Company and
the Trustee of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Section, the Company shall transmit by mail, first class
postage prepaid, a notice, setting forth in general terms the substance of such supplemental indenture, to the Securityholders of all
series affected thereby as their names and addresses appear upon the Security Register. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice,
or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture.

SUCCESSOR ENTITY


 


SECTION 10.01 COMPANY MAY CONSOLIDATE, ETC.


 


Nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of
the Securities shall prevent any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other Person (whether or not affiliated with

or shall prevent any sale, conveyance, transfer or other disposition of the property of the Company or its successor or successors as
an entirety, or substantially as an entirety, to any other Person (whether or not affiliated with the Company or its successor or successors)
authorized to acquire and operate the same; provided, however, the Company hereby covenants and agrees that, upon any such consolidation
or merger (in each case, if the Company is not the survivor of such transaction), sale, conveyance, transfer or other disposition, the

shall be expressly assumed, by supplemental indenture (which shall conform to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, as then in effect)
satisfactory in form to the Trustee executed and delivered to the Trustee by the entity formed by such consolidation, or into which the
Company shall have been merged, or by the entity which shall have acquired such property.


 






    30


     


    

 


SECTION 10.02 SUCCESSOR ENTITY SUBSTITUTED.

case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or other disposition and upon the assumption by any successor entity

any) and interest on all of the Securities of all series Outstanding and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and
conditions of this Indenture or established with respect to each series of the Securities pursuant to Section 2.01 to be performed by
the Company, such successor entity shall succeed to and be substituted for the Company with the same effect as if it had been named as
the Company herein, and thereupon the predecessor corporation, except in the case of a lease, shall be relieved of all obligations and
covenants under this Indenture and the Securities.


 


(b) In
case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or other disposition such changes in phraseology and form (but not

ARTICLE XI

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE; DEFEASANCE


 


SECTION 11.01 SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE.


 


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


 


(1) either
(A) all Securities of that series theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (i) any Securities that shall have been destroyed,
lost or stolen and that shall have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.07 and (ii) Securities for whose payment money or noncallable
Governmental Obligations have 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 11.05) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or (B)
all Securities of such series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (i) have become due and payable, or (ii) will
by their terms become due and payable 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, and the Company shall deposit or cause to be deposited with the Trustee as trust
funds in trust for the purpose (x) moneys in an amount, or (y) noncallable Governmental Obligations the scheduled principal of and interest
on which in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than the due date of any payment, money in an amount, or (z) a combination
thereof, sufficient, in the case of (y) or (z), in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed
in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge, at maturity or upon redemption, all Securities of that
series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, including principal (and premium, if any) and interest due or to become
due to such date of maturity or date fixed for redemption, as the case may be;


 






    31


     


    

 


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


 


(3) the
Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all the conditions precedent
herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to such series of Securities have been complied
with. Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to a series of Securities, the obligations of the
Trustee under Section 7.07 and, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (y) of clause (1) of this Section,
the obligations of the Trustee under Sections 11.03 and 11.05 shall survive.


 


SECTION 11.02 DEFEASANCE.


 


The Company may, at its option and at any time (including
notwithstanding the exercise by the Company of a Covenant Defeasance (as defined herein)), elect to have its obligations discharged with
respect to a series of the Securities (“Legal Defeasance”). Such Legal Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to
have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by such series of Securities, except for (a) the rights of Holders to receive
payments in respect of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Securities when such payments are due solely from the
trust fund described in this Section, (b) the Company’s obligations with respect to such series of Securities concerning issuing
temporary Securities, registration of transfer or exchange of such series of Securities, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities
of such series and the maintenance of an office or agency for payments, (c) the rights, powers, trust, duties and immunities of the Trustee
and the Company’s obligations in connection therewith and (d) the Legal Defeasance provisions of this Indenture. In addition, the
Company may, at its option and at any time, elect to have the obligations of the Company released with respect to covenants provided with
respect to such series of Securities under Section 2.01(16), 9.01(4) and 9.01(7) of this Indenture (“Covenant Defeasance”)
and thereafter any omission to comply with such obligations shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default with respect to such series
of Securities. In the event of Covenant Defeasance, those events described under Section 6.01(a) with respect to the foregoing covenants
will no longer constitute an Event of Default with respect to such series of Securities.


 


In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or
Covenant Defeasance:


 


(1) the
Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of such series, (A) moneys in an amount, or
(B) noncallable Governmental Obligations the scheduled principal of and interest on which in accordance with their terms will provide,
not later than the due date of any payment, money in an amount, or (C) a combination thereof, sufficient, in the case of (B) or (C), in
the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to
the Trustee, to pay and discharge, at maturity or upon redemption, the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such series
of Securities on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be;


 


(2) in
the case of Legal Defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that (A) the Company has
received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (B) since the date of this Indenture, there has
been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall
confirm that, the Holders of such series of Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result
of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would
have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;


 


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


 






    32


     


    

 


(4) no
Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or insofar as Events of Default under clauses
(4) and (5) of Section 6.01(a) with respect to the Securities of such series are concerned, at any time in the period ending on the 91st
day after the date of deposit;


 


(5) the
Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions
precedent provided for or relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, have been complied with; and


 


(6) if
such series of Securities are to be redeemed prior to final maturity (other than from mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments),
notice of such redemption shall have been duly given pursuant to this Indenture or provision therefor satisfactory to the Trustee shall
have been made.


 


SECTION 11.03 DEPOSITED MONEYS TO BE HELD IN TRUST.


 


All moneys or Governmental Obligations deposited
with the Trustee pursuant to Sections 11.01 or 11.02 shall be held in trust and shall be available for payment as due, either directly
or through any paying agent (including the Company acting as its own paying agent), to the Holders of the particular series of Securities
for the payment or redemption of which such moneys or Governmental Obligations have been deposited with the Trustee. Funds held pursuant
to this Section with respect to any series of Securities shall not be subject to the claims of the holders of Senior Indebtedness with
respect to such series, provided, that at the time of the deposit of such funds with the Trustee under this Article, no event had occurred
that would, under the subordination provisions related to such series, require that any payment to be made to the holders of such Securities
be paid or paid over to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness.


 


SECTION 11.04 PAYMENT OF MONEYS HELD BY PAYING AGENTS.


 


In connection with the satisfaction and discharge
of this Indenture all moneys or Governmental Obligations then held by any paying agent under the provisions of this Indenture shall, upon
demand of the Company, be paid to the Trustee and thereupon such paying agent shall be released from all further liability with respect
to such moneys or Governmental Obligations.


 


SECTION 11.05 REPAYMENT TO COMPANY.


 


Any moneys or Governmental Obligations deposited
with any paying agent or the Trustee, or then held by the Company, in trust for payment of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest
on the Securities of a particular series that are not applied but remain unclaimed by the Holders of such Securities for at least two
years after the date upon which the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on such Securities shall have respectively become due
and payable, shall be repaid to the Company on May 31 of each year or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust;
and thereupon the paying agent and the Trustee shall be released from all further liability with respect to such moneys or Governmental
Obligations, and the Holder of any of the Securities entitled to receive such payment shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor,
look only to the Company for the payment thereof.


 


ARTICLE XII

any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, past, present or future as such, of the Company or of any predecessor or successor
corporation, either directly or through the Company or any such predecessor or successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution,
statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly understood that this Indenture
and the obligations issued hereunder are solely corporate obligations, and that no such personal liability whatever shall attach to, or
is or shall be incurred by, the incorporators, stockholders, officers or directors as such, of the Company or of any predecessor or successor
corporation, or any of them, because of the creation of the indebtedness hereby authorized, or under or by reason of the obligations,
covenants or agreements contained in this Indenture or in any of the Securities or implied therefrom; and that any and all such personal
liability of every name and nature, either at common law or in equity or by constitution or statute, of, and any and all such rights and
claims against, every such incorporator, stockholder, officer or director as such, because of the creation of the indebtedness hereby
authorized, or under or by reason of the obligations, covenants or agreements contained in this Indenture or in any of the Securities
or implied therefrom, are hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as a consideration for, the execution of this Indenture
and the issuance of such Securities.
