Holders for the purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of Outstanding Securities have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, and for
that purpose the Outstanding Securities shall be computed as of such record date; provided that no such authorization, agreement or consent by the Holders on such record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective

not earlier than the earliest date, if any, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders of Registered Securities is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to
any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders of Registered Securities given as provided herein. Any notice mailed to a Holder in the manner herein prescribed shall be conclusively deemed to have
been received by such Holder, whether or not such Holder actually receives such notice. 

  
 9 








 If by reason of the suspension of or irregularities in regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it
shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification to Holders of Registered Securities as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification to such Holders for every purpose hereunder.

except that any published notice may be in an official language of the country of publication. 
 Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner,
such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such
filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

released by the acceptance of the Securities by the Holders and as part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities. 
 SECTION 1.14.
Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. 
 If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof which is required or
deemed to be included in this Indenture by any of the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, such required provision shall control. If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act that may be so
modified or excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to apply to this Indenture as so modified or to be excluded, as the case may be. 

ARTICLE TWO—SECURITIES FORMS 

SECTION 2.01. Forms of Securities. 
 The Registered
Securities, if any, of each Series shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto or in such other form as shall be established in one or more indentures supplemental hereto or approved from time to time by or pursuant to a Board
Resolution in accordance with Section 3.01, shall have such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by this Indenture or any indenture supplemental hereto, and may have such letters,
numbers or other marks of identification or designation and such legends or endorsements placed 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, automated quotation system or clearing agency, or to conform to usage. 

The definitive Securities shall be printed, lithographed or engraved or produced by any combination of these methods on a steel engraved border or steel
engraved borders or mechanically reproduced on safety paper or may be produced in any other manner, all as determined by the officers executing such Securities, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities. 

SECTION 2.02. Form of Trustee’s Certificate of Authentication. 

Subject to Section 6.11, the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be in substantially the following form: 

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

	 		 	By:	 	  

		 	  
	 		 		 	Authorized Signatory

 SECTION 2.03. Securities Issuable in Global Form. 

If Securities of or within a Series are issuable in the form of one or more Global Securities, then, notwithstanding clause (8) of Section 3.01 and
the provisions of Section 3.02, any such Global Security or Securities may provide that it or they shall represent the aggregate amount of all Outstanding Securities of such Series (or such lesser amount as is permitted by the terms thereof)
from time to time endorsed thereon and may also provide that the aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities of such Series represented thereby may from time to time be increased or decreased to reflect exchanges. Any endorsement of any Global
Security to reflect the amount, or any increase or decrease in the amount, or changes in the rights of Holders thereof, of Outstanding Securities represented thereby shall be made (or caused to be made) by the Trustee in such manner or by such
Person or Persons as shall be specified therein or in the Company Order to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.03 or 3.04. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.03 and, if applicable, Section 3.04, the Trustee shall
deliver and redeliver any Global Security in permanent global form in the manner and upon instructions given by the Person or Persons specified therein or in the applicable Company Order. If a Company Order pursuant to Section 3.03 or 3.04 has
been, or simultaneously is, delivered, any instructions by the Company with respect to endorsement or delivery or redelivery of a Global Security shall be in writing but need not comply with Section 1.02 and need not be accompanied by an
Opinion of Counsel. 
 The provisions of the last sentence of Section 3.03 shall apply to any Security represented by a Global Security if such
Security was never issued and sold by the Company and the Company delivers to the Trustee the Global Security together with written instructions (which need not comply with Section 1.02 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) with
regard to the reduction in the principal amount of Securities represented thereby, together with the written statement contemplated by the last sentence of Section 3.03. 

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.07, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01, payment of principal of and any premium
or Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest, if any, on any Global Security in permanent global form shall be made to the registered Holder thereof. 

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.08 and except as provided in the preceding paragraph, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company
and the Trustee shall treat as the Holder of such principal amount of Outstanding Securities represented by a permanent Global Security, the Holder of such permanent Global Security in registered form. 

Any Global Security authenticated and delivered hereunder shall bear a legend in substantially the following form: 

“This Security is a Global Security within the meaning set forth in the Indenture hereinafter referred to and is registered in the name of a Depository
or a nominee of a Depository. This Security is exchangeable for Securities registered in the name of a person other than the Depository or its nominee only in the limited circumstances described in the Indenture, and may not be transferred except as
a whole by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository or by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or another nominee of the Depository or by the Depository or its nominee to a successor Depository or its nominee.”

including United States Treasury securities or on a currency, currencies, currency unit or units, or composite currency or currencies) and the manner in which such amounts shall be determined; 

(13) whether the principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) or interest, if any, on the Securities of the Series are to be payable, at the

(16) whether and under what circumstances the Company will pay any additional amounts on such Securities in respect of any tax, assessment or governmental
charge and, if so, whether the Company will have the option to redeem such Securities in lieu of making such payment; 
 (17) whether any Securities of the
Series are to be issuable initially in temporary global form and whether any Securities of the Series are to be issuable in permanent global form and, if so, whether beneficial owners of interests in any such permanent global Security may, or shall
be required to, exchange such interests for Securities of such Series and of like tenor of any authorized form and denomination and the circumstances under which any such exchanges may, or shall be required to, occur, if other than in the manner
provided in this Indenture, and, if Registered Securities of the Series are to be issuable as a Global Security, the identity of the depository for such Series; 

(18) the date as of which any temporary Global Security representing outstanding Securities of the Series shall be dated if other than the date of original
issuance of the first Security of the Series to be issued; 
 (19) the Person to whom interest, if any, on any Registered Security of the Series shall be
payable, if other than the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, if any, and the extent to which, or the manner in which,
interest, if any, payable on a temporary Global Security on an Interest Payment Date will be paid if other than in the manner provided herein; provided, however, in each case, that the manner of determining such Person or making such
payment shall be acceptable to the Trustee (as not imposing on it any undue administrative burden or risk of liability); 
 (20) the applicability, if any,
of the defeasance and covenant defeasance provisions of Article Fourteen hereof to the Securities of the Series; 
 (21) if the Securities of such Series

of such certificates, documents or conditions; 
 (22) designation of the Trustee, if different from the Trustee under this Indenture, with respect to such
Series and the terms applicable to such Trustee (which shall be accepted by such Trustee by its execution and delivery of a supplemental indenture as provided therein); 

(23) any modification of the subordination provisions set forth in Article Sixteen which applies to the Securities of the Series; and 

(24) any other terms of the Series (which terms shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture). 

All Securities of any one Series shall be substantially identical except, in the case of Registered Securities, as to denomination and except as may otherwise
be provided in or pursuant to such Board Resolution (subject to Section 3.03) and set forth in such Officers’ Certificate or in any such indenture supplemental hereto. All Securities of any one Series need not be issued at the same time
and, unless otherwise provided, a Series may be reopened, without the consent of the Holders, for issuances of additional Securities of such Series. 
 If
any of the terms of the Securities of any Series are established by action taken pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions, a copy of an appropriate record of such action(s) 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 Securities of such Series. 

SECTION 3.02. Denominations. 
 The Securities of
each Series shall be issuable in such denominations as shall be specified as contemplated by Section 3.01. With respect to Securities of any Series denominated in Dollars, in the absence of any such provisions with respect to the Securities of
any Series, the Securities of such Series, other than Global Securities (which may be of any denomination), shall be issuable in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof or the equivalent amounts thereof in the case
of Securities denominated in the Foreign Currency or currency unit. 

  
 14 








 SECTION 3.03. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. 

The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by the Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer and any Executive Vice President,
Senior Vice President or Vice President of the Company, under its corporate seal reproduced thereon, and attested by its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities may be manual or
facsimile signatures of the present or any future such authorized officer and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Securities. 
 Securities
bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the
authentication and delivery of such Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities. 
 At any time and from time to time after the
execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any Series executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities (accompanied
by a copy of the Board Resolution and the Officers’ Certificate or supplemental indenture contemplated by Section 3.01), and the Trustee in accordance with the Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. If any Security
shall be represented by a permanent Global Security, then, for purposes of this Section and Section 3.04, the notation of a beneficial owner’s interest therein upon original issuance of such Security or upon exchange of a portion of a
temporary Global Security shall be deemed to be delivery in connection with its original issuance of such beneficial owner’s interest in such permanent Global Security. 

If all the Securities of any Series are not to be issued at one time and if the Board Resolution or supplemental indenture establishing such Series shall so
permit, such Company Order may set forth procedures acceptable to the Trustee for the issuance of such Securities and determining the terms of particular Securities of such Series, such as interest rate or formula, maturity date, date of issuance
and date from which interest shall accrue. In authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be provided with, and (subject to TIA
Section 315(a) through 315(d)) shall be fully protected in relying upon, 
 (i) an Opinion of Counsel stating that 

(a) the form or forms of such Securities have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; 

(b) the terms of such Securities have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and 

(c) such Securities when completed by appropriate insertions and executed and delivered by the Company to the Trustee for authentication in accordance with
this Indenture, authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in accordance with this Indenture 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 applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization and other similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting the enforcement of
creditors’ rights generally and to general equitable principles; and 
 (ii) an Officers’ Certificate stating that all conditions precedent
provided for in this Indenture relating to the issuance of the Securities have been complied with and that, to the best of the knowledge of the signers of such certificate, that no Event of Default with respect to any of the Securities shall have
occurred and be continuing. 
 If such form or terms have been so established, the Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Securities (or to
enter into the related supplemental indenture, if applicable) if the issue of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties, obligations or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or
otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. 
 Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.01 and of the preceding
paragraph, if all the Securities of any Series are not to be issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver an Officers’ Certificate otherwise required pursuant to Section 3.01 or a Company Order, or an Opinion of Counsel or an
Officers’ Certificate otherwise required 

  
 15 








 
pursuant to the preceding paragraph at the time of issuance of each Security of such Series, but such order, opinion and certificates, with appropriate modifications to cover such future
issuances, shall be delivered at or before the time of issuance of the first Security of such Series. 
 Each Registered Security shall be dated the date of
its authentication. 
 No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on
such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein duly executed by the Trustee (subject to Section 6.11) by manual signature of an authorized signatory, and such certificate upon any Security shall be
conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security (including a Global Security) shall
have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 3.09 together with a written statement (which need not
comply with Section 1.02 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) stating that such Security has never been issued and sold by the Company, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been
authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. 
 SECTION 3.04. Temporary Securities. 

(a) Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any Series, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued, in registered
form, and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Securities may determine, as conclusively evidenced by their execution of such Securities. In the case of Securities of any
Series, such temporary Securities may be in global form. 
 Except in the case of temporary Global Securities (which shall be exchanged as otherwise
provided herein or as otherwise provided in or pursuant to a Board Resolution or supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 3.01), if temporary Securities of any Series are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities of that Series to
be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities of such Series, the temporary Securities of such Series shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities of such Series upon surrender of the temporary Securities
of such Series at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that Series, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any Series, the Company shall execute (in
accordance with a Company Order delivered at or prior to the authentication of the first definitive security to such Series) and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Securities of the
same Series of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of any Series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such Series. 

(b) Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to a Board Resolution or supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 3.01, the following provisions of this
Section 3.04(b) shall govern the exchange of temporary Securities other than through the facilities of DTC. If any such temporary Security is issued in global form, then such temporary Global Security shall, unless otherwise provided therein,
be delivered to the London office of a depository or common depository upon and pursuant to written direction of the Company (the “Common Depository”), for the benefit of Euroclear and Clearstream, for credit to the respective
accounts of the beneficial owners of such Securities (or to such other accounts as they may direct). 
 Without unnecessary delay but in any event not later
than the date specified in, or determined pursuant to the terms of, any such temporary Global Security (the “Exchange Date”), the Company shall deliver to the Trustee definitive Securities, in aggregate principal amount equal to the
principal amount of such temporary Global Security, executed by the Company. On or after the Exchange Date, such temporary Global Security shall be surrendered by the Common Depository to the Trustee, as the Company’s agent for such purpose, to
be exchanged, in whole or from time to time in part, for definitive Securities without charge, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for each portion of such temporary Global Security, an equal aggregate principal amount of
definitive Securities of the same Series of authorized denominations and of like tenor as the portion of such temporary Global Security to be exchanged. The definitive Securities to be delivered in exchange for any such temporary Global


  
 16 








 
Security shall be in registered form or permanent global registered form, or any combination thereof, as specified as contemplated by Section 3.01, and, if any combination thereof is so
specified, as requested by the beneficial owner thereof (as directed by or pursuant to information provided by the Common Depository); provided, however, that, unless otherwise specified in such temporary Global Security, upon such
presentation by the Common Depository, such temporary Global Security shall be accompanied by a certificate dated the Exchange Date or a subsequent date and signed by Euroclear as to the portion of such temporary Global Security held for its account
then to be exchanged and a certificate dated the Exchange Date or a subsequent date and signed by Clearstream as to the portion of such temporary Global Security held for its account then to be exchanged, each in the form set forth in Exhibit
B-2 to this Indenture or in such other form as may be established pursuant to Section 3.01. 
 Unless otherwise specified in such temporary Global
Security, the interest of a beneficial owner of Securities of a Series in a temporary Global Security shall be exchanged for definitive Securities of the same Series and of like tenor following the Exchange Date when the account holder instructs
Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, to request such exchange on his behalf and delivers to Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, a certificate in the form set forth in Exhibit B-1 to this Indenture (or in such other form as
may be established pursuant to Section 3.01), dated no earlier than 15 days prior to the Exchange Date, copies of which certificate shall be available from the offices of Euroclear and Clearstream, the Trustee, any Authenticating Agent
appointed for such Series of Securities and each Paying Agent. Unless otherwise specified in such temporary Global Security, any such exchange shall be made free of charge to the beneficial owners of such temporary Global Security, except that a
Person receiving definitive Securities must bear the cost of insurance, postage, transportation and the like unless such Person takes delivery of such definitive Securities in person at the offices of Euroclear or Clearstream. 

Until exchanged in full as hereinabove provided, the temporary Securities of any Series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this
Indenture as definitive Securities of the same Series and of like tenor authenticated and delivered hereunder, except that, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01, interest, if any, payable on a temporary Global Security on
an Interest Payment Date for Securities of such Series occurring prior to the applicable Exchange Date shall be payable to Euroclear and Clearstream on such Interest Payment Date upon delivery by Euroclear and Clearstream to the Trustee of a
certificate or certificates in the form set forth in Exhibit B-2 to this Indenture (or in such other forms as may be established pursuant to Section 3.01), for credit without further interest on or after such Interest Payment Date to the
respective accounts of Persons who are the beneficial owners of such temporary Global Security on such Interest Payment Date and who have each delivered to Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, a certificate dated no earlier than 15 days
prior to the Interest Payment Date occurring prior to such Exchange Date in the form set forth as Exhibit B-1 to this Indenture (or in such other forms as may be established pursuant to Section 3.01). Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein contained, the certifications made pursuant to this paragraph shall satisfy the certification requirements of the preceding two paragraphs of this Section 3.04(b) and of the third paragraph of Section 3.03 of this Indenture
and the interests of the Persons who are the beneficial owners of the temporary Global Security with respect to which such certification was made will be exchanged for definitive Securities of the same Series and of like tenor on the Exchange Date
or the date of certification if such date occurs after the Exchange Date, without further act or deed by such beneficial owners. Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, no payments of principal or interest, if any, owing with respect to a
beneficial interest in a temporary Global Security will be made unless and until such interest in such temporary Global Security shall have been exchanged for an interest in a definitive Security. Any interest so received by Euroclear and
Clearstream and not paid as herein provided shall be returned to the Trustee prior to the expiration of two years after such Interest Payment Date in order to be repaid to the Company. 

With respect to Exhibit B-1 or B-2 to this Indenture, the Company may, in its discretion and if required or desirable under applicable law, substitute one or
more other forms of such exhibits for such exhibits, eliminate the requirement that any or all certificate be provided, or change the time that any certificate may be required, provided that such substitute form or forms or notice of
elimination or change of such certification requirement have theretofore been delivered to the Trustee with a Company Request and such form or forms, elimination or change is reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. 

SECTION 3.05. Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange. 

The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or in any office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment a register for
each Series of Securities (the registers maintained in such office or in any such office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment being herein sometimes referred to collectively as 

  
 17 








 
the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Registered Securities and of
transfers of Registered Securities. The Security Register shall be in written form or any other form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable time. The Trustee, at its Corporate Trust Office, is hereby initially appointed
“Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering Registered Securities and transfers of Registered Securities on such Security Register as herein provided. In the event that the Trustee shall cease to be Security Registrar, it
shall have the right to examine, and be provided a copy of, the Security Register at all reasonable times. 
 Subject to the provisions of this
Section 3.05, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Registered Security of any Series at any office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that Series, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Registered Securities of the same Series, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding,
and containing identical terms and provisions. 
 Subject to the provisions of this Section 3.05, at the option of the Holder, Registered Securities of
any Series may be exchanged for other Registered Securities of the same Series, of any authorized denomination or denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, containing identical terms and provisions, upon surrender of the Registered
Securities to be exchanged at any such office or agency. Whenever any such Registered Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Registered Securities which the Holder
making the exchange is entitled to receive. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01, any
permanent Global Security shall be exchangeable only as provided in this paragraph. If the depository for any permanent Global Security is DTC, then, unless the terms of such Global Security expressly permit such Global Security to be exchanged in
whole or in part for definitive Securities, a Global Security may be transferred, in whole but not in part, only to a nominee of DTC, or by a nominee of DTC to DTC, or to a successor to DTC for such Global Security selected or approved by the
Company or to a nominee of such successor to DTC. If at any time DTC notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depository for the applicable Global Security or Securities or if at any time DTC ceases to be a clearing agency
registered under the Exchange Act, if so required by applicable law or regulation, the Company shall appoint a successor depository with respect to such Global Security or Securities. If (w) a successor depository for such Global Security or
Securities is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such unwillingness, inability or ineligibility, (x) the Company delivers to the Trustee for Securities of such Series in
registered form a Company Order stating that the Securities of such Series shall be exchangeable, (y) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the beneficial owners representing a majority in principal amount of the applicable
Series of Securities represented by such Global Security or Securities advise DTC to cease acting as depository for such Global Security or Securities or (z) the Company, in its sole discretion, determines at any time that all Outstanding
Securities (but not less than all) of any Series issued or issuable in the form of one or more Global Securities shall no longer be represented by such Global Security or Securities, then the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver definitive Securities of like Series, rank, tenor and terms in definitive form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Security or Securities. If any beneficial owner of an interest in a permanent
global Security is otherwise entitled to exchange such interest for Securities of such Series and of like tenor and principal amount of another authorized form and denomination, as specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 and provided
that any applicable notice provided in the permanent Global Security shall have been given, then without unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the earliest date on which such interest may be so exchanged, the Company shall
execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver definitive Securities in aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such beneficial owner’s interest in such permanent Global Security. On or after the earliest date on
which such interests may be so exchanged, such permanent Global Security shall be surrendered for exchange by DTC or such other depository as shall be specified in the Company Order with respect thereto to the Trustee, as the Company’s agent
for such purpose; provided, however, that no such exchanges may occur during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before any selection of Securities to be redeemed and ending on the relevant Redemption Date if the
Security for which exchange is requested may be among those selected for redemption. If a Registered Security is issued in exchange for any portion of a permanent Global Security after the close of business at the office or agency where such
exchange occurs on (i) any Regular Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the relevant Interest Payment Date, or (ii) any Special Record Date and the opening of business at such office or agency on the
related proposed date for payment 

  
 18 








 
of Defaulted Interest, interest, if any, or Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, will not be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, in respect
of such Registered Security, but will be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, only to the Person to whom interest, if any, in respect of such portion of such permanent Global Security is payable in
accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. 
 All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid
obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 

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

No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company and the Trustee may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 3.04, 9.06, 11.07 or 13.05 not involving any
transfer. 
 The Company or the Trustee, as applicable, shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Security if such
Security may be among those selected for redemption during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before selection of the Securities to be redeemed under Section 11.03 and ending at the close of business on the day of the mailing
of the relevant notice of redemption, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Registered Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except, in the case of any Registered Security to be redeemed in part, the portion
thereof not to be redeemed, or (iii) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Security which has been surrendered for repayment at the option of the Holder, except the portion, if any, of such Security not to be so repaid. 

Furthermore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.05, the Company will not be required to exchange any Securities if, as a result of the
exchange, the Company would suffer adverse consequences under any United States law or regulation. 
 SECTION 3.06. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and
Stolen Securities. 
 If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee or the Company, together with, in proper cases, such security or indemnity
as may be required by the Company or the Trustee to save each of them or any agent of either of them harmless, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same Series and
principal amount, containing identical terms and provisions and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 
 If there shall be delivered to the
Company and to the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security, and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless,
then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed,
lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same Series and principal amount, containing identical terms and provisions and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, appertaining to such destroyed, lost or stolen Security. 

Notwithstanding the provisions of the previous two paragraphs, in case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become
due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security appertaining to such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, pay such Security if the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the Company and the Trustee for such
Security such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, and in the case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence satisfactory to the Company and Trustee and any agent of any of them of the destruction, loss or
theft of such Security and the ownership thereof. 

  
 19 








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

Every new Security of any Series issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional
contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other
Securities of that Series duly issued hereunder. 
 The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights
and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities. 
 SECTION 3.07. Payment of Interest;
Interest Rights Preserved. 
 Except as otherwise specified with respect to a Series of Securities in accordance with the provisions of
Section 3.01, interest, if any, on any Registered Security that is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor
Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest payment, if any, at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 10.02; provided, however, that
each installment of interest on any Registered Security may at the Company’s option be paid by (i) mailing a check for such interest, if any, payable to or upon the written order of the Person entitled thereto pursuant to
Section 3.08, to the address of such Person as it appears on the Security Register or (ii) transfer to an account maintained by the payee located inside the United States. 

Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.01, every permanent Global Security will provide that interest, if any, payable on any Interest
Payment Date will be paid to DTC, Euroclear and/or Clearstream, as the case may be, with respect to that portion of such permanent Global Security held for its account by Cede & Co. or a nominee of the Common Depository, as the case may be,
for the purpose of permitting such party to credit the interest received by it in respect of such permanent Global Security to the accounts of the beneficial owners thereof. 

Except as otherwise specified with respect to a Series of Securities in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01, interest, if any, on any
Registered Security of any Series that is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder
thereof on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (1) or (2) below: 

(1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Registered Securities of such Series (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 Registered Security of such Series and the date of the proposed payment (which shall not be less than 20 days after such notice is received by the Trustee), and at the same time the Company
shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies in which the Securities of such Series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to
Section 3.01 for the Securities of such Series) 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 on or prior to the date of the
proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted
Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not 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
Holder of Registered Securities of such Series at his address as it appears in the Security Register not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. The Trustee may, in its discretion, in the name and at the expense of the Company, cause a
similar notice to be published at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in each Place of Payment, but such publications shall not be a condition precedent to the establishment of such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such
Defaulted Interest and the Special Record 

  
 20 








 
Date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Registered Securities of such Series (or their respective Predecessor
Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (2). 
 (2)
The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Registered Securities of any Series 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. 

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section and Section 3.05, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in
exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security. 

SECTION 3.08. Persons Deemed Owners. 
 Prior to due
presentment of a Registered Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Registered Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the
purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any), and (subject to Sections 3.05 and 3.07) interest, if any, on, such Registered Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Registered
Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. All such payments so made to any such Person, or upon such Person’s order, shall be valid, and,
to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for money payable upon any such Security. 
 No holder of any
beneficial interest in any Global Security held on its behalf by a depository shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect to such Global Security and such depository (which is the Holder of such security) shall be treated by the Company,
the Trustee, and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the owner of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. None of the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Security Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any
aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. 

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

SECTION 3.09. Cancellation. 
 All Securities
surrendered for payment, redemption, repayment at the option of the Holder, registration of transfer or exchange or for credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee,
and any such Securities surrendered directly to the Trustee for any such purpose, upon direction by the Company, shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously
authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated
hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. If the Company shall so 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 surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in
this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. Cancelled Securities held by the Trustee shall be disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its customary practices (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange
Act). 

  
 21 








 SECTION 3.10. Computation of Interest. 

Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 with respect to Securities of any Series, interest on the Securities of each Series shall
be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. 
 SECTION 3.11. CUSIP Numbers. 

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

SECTION 4.01. Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. 

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

(A) all Securities of such Series theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (i) Securities of such Series which have been destroyed, lost or
stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 3.06, and (ii) Securities of such Series for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter
repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 10.03) have been delivered to the Trustee 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 become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year, or 

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

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

(3) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent herein
provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as to such Series have been complied with. 
 Notwithstanding the satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture, the obligations of the Company to the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee under Section 6.06, the obligations of the Company to any Authenticating Agent under Section 6.11 and, if money shall have been
deposited with and held by the Trustee pursuant to subclause (B) of clause (1) of this Section, the obligations of the Trustee under Section 4.02 and the last paragraph of Section 10.03 shall survive such satisfaction and
discharge. 

  
 22 








 SECTION 4.02. Application of Trust Funds. 

Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 10.03, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.01 shall be held in
trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the
Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any), and interest, if any, for whose payment such money has been deposited with or received by the Trustee, but such money need not be segregated from other funds
except to the extent required by law. Money deposited pursuant to this section not in violation of this Indenture shall not be subject to claims of the holders of Senior Debt under Article Sixteen. 

ARTICLE FIVE—REMEDIES 
 SECTION 5.01.
Events of Default. 
 “Event of Default,” wherever used herein with respect to any particular Series of Securities, means any one of
the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether or not it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation

or which has expressly been included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of Series of Securities other than that Series), and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 60 days after there has been given, by registered or certified
mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that Series a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied
and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder; or 
 (5) the Company pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy
Law: 
  

	 	(a)	commences a voluntary case; 

  

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

  

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

	 	(b)	appoints a Custodian of the Company or for all or substantially all of its property; or 

  

	 	(c)	orders the liquidation of the Company, and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 days; or 


(7) any other Event of Default provided with respect to Securities of that Series. 

As used in this Section 5.01, the term “Bankruptcy Law” means title 11, U.S. Code or any similar Federal or state law for the relief of
debtors and the term “Custodian” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator or other similar official under any Bankruptcy Law. 

  
 23 








 SECTION 5.02. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. 

If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any Series at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case the Trustee or
the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that Series may declare the principal amount (or, if Securities of that Series are Original Issue Discount Securities or Indexed Securities, such portion of the
principal as may be specified in the terms thereof) of all the Securities of that Series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders), and upon any such declaration such
principal or specified portion thereof shall become immediately due and payable. 
 At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to
Securities of any Series has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities
of that Series, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration of acceleration and its consequences if: 
 (1) the
Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay in the currency, currency unit or composite currency in which the Securities of such Series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01 for the
Securities of such Series): 
 (A) all overdue installments of interest on all Outstanding Securities of that Series, 

(B) the principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any, on) any Outstanding Securities of that Series which have become due otherwise than by such
declaration of acceleration and interest, if any, thereon at the rate or rates borne by or provided for in such Securities, 
 (C) to the extent that
payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue installments of interest at the rate or rates borne by or provided for in such Securities, and 

(D) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and
counsel; and 
 (2) all Events of Default with respect to Securities of that Series, other than the nonpayment of the principal of (or premium or Make-Whole
Amount, if any) or interest, if any, on Securities of that Series which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.13; and 

(3) there has been paid to or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all amounts due to the Trustee under this Indenture and to reimburse the
Trustee for any and all fees, expenses and disbursements incurred by the Trustee, its agents and its counsel, in such capacity, in connection with such acceleration. 

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

SECTION 5.03. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. 

The Company covenants that if: 
 (1) default is made in the
payment of any installment of interest on any Security of any Series when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or 

(2) default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any, on) any Security of any Series at its Maturity, 

then the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities of such Series, the whole amount then
due and payable on such Securities for principal (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) and interest, if any, with interest upon any overdue principal (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) and, to the extent that payment of such interest,
if any, shall be legally enforceable, upon any overdue installments of interest at the rate or rates borne by or provided for in such Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of
collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. 
 If the Company fails to
pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or
final decree, and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities of such 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 any
other obligor upon such Securities of such Series, wherever situated. 

  
 24 








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

SECTION 5.04. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 
 In
case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or the property of the
Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities of any Series shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the
Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of overdue principal, premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any, or interest, if any) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: 

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

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

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator (or other similar official) in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by
each Holder 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 the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee, their agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee under Section 6.06. 

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

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

SECTION 5.05. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities. 

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

SECTION 5.06. Application of Money Collected. 
 Any
money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal (or premium or Make-Whole Amount, if
any) or interest, if any, upon presentation of the Securities and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid: 

FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee under Section 6.06; 

  
 25 








 SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon the Securities for principal (and premium or
Make-Whole Amount, if any) and interest, if any, 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 aggregate amounts due and payable on such
Securities for principal (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) and interest, if any, respectively; and 
 THIRD: To the payment of the remainder, if
any, to the Company. 
 SECTION 5.07. Limitation on Suits. 

No Holder of any Security of any Series shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture or any such
Security, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy under this Indenture or such Security, unless: 
 (1) such Holder has
previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of that Series; 
 (2) the Holders of not
less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that Series shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder; 

(3) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be
incurred in compliance with such request; 
 (4) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to
institute any such proceeding; and 
 (5) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that Series; 
 it being understood and intended that no one or more of such
Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference
over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all such Holders. 

SECTION 5.08. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any, and Interest, if any. 

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, but subject to Article Sixteen of this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the right which
is absolute and unconditional to receive payment of the principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) and (subject to Sections 3.05 and 3.07) interest, if any, on such Security on the respective due dates expressed in such Security (or, in
the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. 

SECTION 5.09. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. 

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

SECTION 5.10. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. 

Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of
Section 3.06, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy


  
 26 








 
shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion
or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 

SECTION 5.11. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. 
 No
delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Security to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence
therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders of Securities. 

SECTION 5.12. Control by Holders of Securities. 

The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any Series shall have the right to direct the time, method and
place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Securities of such Series, provided that: 

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

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

(3) the Trustee need not take any action which might involve it in personal liability or be unduly prejudicial to the Holders of Securities of such Series not
joining therein. 
 Nothing in this Indenture shall impair the right of the Trustee in its discretion to take any action deemed proper by the Trustee and
which is not inconsistent with such direction by Holders. 
 SECTION 5.13. Waiver of Past Defaults. 

The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any Series may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of
such Series waive any past default hereunder with respect to such Series and its consequences, except a default 
 (1) in the payment of the principal of
(or premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) or interest, if any, on any Security of such Series, or 
 (2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which
under Article Nine cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of such Series affected; or 
 (3) in
respect of a covenant or provision hereof for the benefit or protection of the Trustee, without its express written consent. 
 Upon any such waiver, such
default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any
right consequent thereon. 
 SECTION 5.14. Waiver of Usury, Stay or Extension Laws. 

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

All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its
discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy 

  
 27 








 
under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such
suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in such suit having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by
such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of any Series, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) or interest, if any, on any Security on or after the respective Stated Maturities
expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date).

The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company,
and neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent assumes any responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities, except that the Trustee represents

 SECTION 6.05. Money Held in Trust. 

Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no
liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed with the Company. 
 SECTION 6.06. Compensation and
Reimbursement. 
 The Company agrees: 
 (1) to pay to the
Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust); 

(2) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse each of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses,

There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be eligible to act as Trustee under TIA Section 310(a)(1) and shall have at all times a
combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If the Trustee publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or the requirements of Federal, state, territorial or District of Columbia supervising or examining authority,
then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of the Trustee shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to
be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article. Neither the Company nor any Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by,
or under common control with the Company shall serve as Trustee. 
 SECTION 6.08. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor. 

(a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of
appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 6.09. 
 (b) The Trustee may resign at any time with
respect to the Securities of one or more Series by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 60 days after the giving of such notice of
resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition, at the expense of the Company, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

  
 30

a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such Series delivered to the Trustee and to the Company. If an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 60 days after the
giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition, at the expense of the Company, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

(d) If at any time: 
 (1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with
the provisions of TIA Section 310(b) after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least 6 months, or 

(2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 6.07 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder of
a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least 6 months, or 
 (3) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged
a bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or
liquidation, 
 then, in any such case, (i) the Company by or pursuant to a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor Trustee
with respect to all Securities, or (ii) subject to TIA Section 315(e), any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least 6 months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any
court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all Securities and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees. 
 (e)
If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause with respect to the Securities of one or more Series, the Company, by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, shall
promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities of that or those Series (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such Series and
that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any particular Series). If, within 30 days after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the
Securities of any Series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such Series delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith
upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such Series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee with respect to the Securities
of any Series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders of Securities and accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such Series for at least 6
months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, or the Trustee, at the expense of the Company may, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to Securities of such Series.

 (f) The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any Series and each appointment
of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any Series in the manner provided for notices to the Holders of Securities in Section 1.06. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of
such Series and the address of its Corporate Trust Office. 
 SECTION 6.09. 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 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 its claim, if any, provided for in Section 6.06. 
 (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, pursuant to
Article Nine hereof, wherein 

  
 31 








 
each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (1) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor
Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those Series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with
respect to all Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those Series as to which
the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and (3) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts
hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder
separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent
provided therein and each such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those Series to which
the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee
hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those Series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates. 
 (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 6.09, 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. 
 SECTION 6.10. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. 

Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation
shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the
Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself
authenticated such Securities. In case any Securities shall not have been authenticated by such predecessor Trustee, any such successor Trustee may authenticate and deliver such Securities, in either its own name or that of its predecessor Trustee,
with the full force and effect which this Indenture provides for the certificate of authentication of the Trustee. 
 SECTION 6.11. Appointment of
Authenticating Agent. 
 At any time when any of the Securities remain Outstanding, the Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with
respect to one or more Series of Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such Series issued upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption or repayment 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. Any such appointment shall be evidenced by an instrument in writing signed by a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee, a copy of which instrument shall be promptly furnished to the Company. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate
of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each
Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a bank or trust company or corporation organized and doing business and in good standing under the laws of the United States of America or of any state or the District
of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or state authorities. If such Authenticating Agent
publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus


  
 32 








 
of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time an Authenticating Agent
shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section. 

Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any
merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent,
provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent. 

An Authenticating Agent for any Series of Securities may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee for such Series and to the
Company. The Trustee for any Series of Securities may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or
upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee for such Series may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be
acceptable to the Company and shall give notice of such appointment to all Holders of Securities of the Series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve in the manner set forth in Section 1.06. Any successor Authenticating
Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent herein. No successor Authenticating Agent
shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section. 
 The Company agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time
reasonable compensation including reimbursement of its reasonable expenses for its services under this Section, subject to Section 6.06. 
 If an
appointment with respect to one or more Series is made pursuant to this Section, the Securities of such Series may have endorsed thereon, in addition to or in lieu of the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternate certificate of
authentication substantially in the following form: 
 “This is one of the Securities of the Series designated therein referred to in the within-
mentioned Indenture. 
  

									
		 		 		 	  

		 		 		 	as Trustee
					
	Dated: 	 	  
	 		 	By:	 	  

		 		 		 		 	as Authenticating Agent
					
	Dated: 	 	  
	 		 	By:	 	  

		 		 		 		 	Authorized Officer

(a) With respect to the Securities of any Series, except during the continuance of an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such Series: 

(1) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or
obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and 
 (2) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as
to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming 

  
 33 








 
to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee
shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture, but shall not be under any duty to verify the contents or accuracy thereof. 

(b) In case an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of any Series has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall, with respect to Securities of
such Series, exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs. 

(c) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or
its own willful misconduct, except that: 
 (1) this Subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of Subsection (a) of this Section; 

(2) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was
negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; 
 (3) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good
faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any Series relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or
exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such Series; and 
 (4) no provision of
this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers. The Trustee shall be under no
obligation to exercise any of its rights and powers under this Indenture at the request of any Holder, unless such Holder shall have offered to the Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense. 

(d) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording
protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 6.12. 
 (e) The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money or
assets held by it except to the extent the Trustee may agree in writing with the Company. Assets held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other assets except to the extent required by law.

SECTION 7.01. Disclosure of Names and Addresses of Holders. 

Every Holder of Securities, by receiving and holding the same, agrees with the Company and the Trustee that neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any
Authenticating Agent nor any Paying Agent nor any Security Registrar shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any information as to the names and addresses of the Holders of Securities in accordance with TIA Section 312,

compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates). 

SECTION 7.04. Company to Furnish Trustee Names and Addresses of Holders. 

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

(a) semiannually, not later than 15 days after the Regular Record Date for interest for each Series of Securities, a list, in such form as the Trustee may
reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Holders of Registered Securities of such Series as of such Regular Record Date, or if there is no Regular Record Date for interest for such Series of Securities, semiannually, upon such dates as
are set forth in the Board Resolution or indenture supplemental hereto authorizing such Series, and 
 (b) at such other times as the Trustee may request in
writing, within 30 days after the receipt by the Company of any such request, a list of similar form and content as of a date not more than 15 days prior to the time such list is furnished,

ARTICLE EIGHT—CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, SALE, LEASE OR CONVEYANCE 

SECTION 8.01. Consolidations and Mergers of Company and Sales, Leases and Conveyances Permitted Subject to Certain Conditions. 

The Company may consolidate with, or sell, lease or convey all or substantially all of its assets to, or merge with or into any other entity, provided
that in any such case, (1) either the Company shall be the continuing corporation, or the successor entity shall be an entity organized and existing under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia and
such successor entity shall expressly assume the due and punctual payment of the principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) and interest, if any, on all of the Securities, according to their tenor, and the due and punctual performance
and observance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by the Company by supplemental indenture, complying with Article Nine hereof, satisfactory to the Trustee, executed and delivered to the Trustee by such
corporation and (2) immediately after giving effect to such transaction and treating any indebtedness which becomes an obligation of the Company or any Subsidiary as a result thereof as having been incurred by the Company or such Subsidiary at
the time of such transaction, no Event of Default, and no event which, after notice or the lapse of time, or both, would become an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing. 

  
 35 








 SECTION 8.02. Rights and Duties of Successor Entity. 

In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance and upon any such assumption by the successor entity, such successor entity shall succeed
to and be substituted for the Company, with the same effect as if it had been named herein as the party of the first part, and the predecessor corporation, except in the event of a lease, shall be relieved of any further obligation under this
Indenture and the Securities. Such successor entity thereupon may cause to be signed, and may issue either in its own name or in the name of the Company, any or all of the Securities issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by
the Company and delivered to the Trustee; and, upon the order of such successor corporation, instead of the Company, and subject to all the terms, conditions and limitations in this Indenture prescribed, the Trustee shall authenticate and shall
deliver any Securities which previously shall have been signed and delivered by the officers of the Company to the Trustee for authentication, and any Securities which such successor corporation thereafter shall cause to be signed and delivered to
the Trustee for that purpose. All the Securities so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Securities theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though
all of such Securities had been issued at the date of the execution hereof. 
 In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance, such
changes in phraseology and form (but not in substance) may be made in the Securities thereafter to be issued as may be appropriate. 
 SECTION 8.03.
Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel. 
 Any consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance permitted under Section 8.01 is also

supplemental indenture, complies with the provisions of this Article, except, with respect to the Opinion of Counsel, excluding Section 8.01(2), and that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such transaction have been
complied with and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such supplemental indenture (if any) has been duly authorized, executed and delivered and is a valid and binding agreement enforceable against the applicable successor entity, and, in each case,
in form satisfactory to the Trustee.

time to time, may enter into one or more indentures supplemental hereto, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, for any of the following purposes: 
 (1) to
evidence the succession of another Person to the Company and the assumption by any such successor of the covenants of the Company contained herein and in the Securities; or 

(2) to add to the covenants of the Company for the benefit of the Holders of all or any Series of Securities (and if such covenants are to be for the benefit
of less than all Series of Securities, stating that such covenants are expressly being included solely for the benefit of such Series) or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Company herein; or 

(3) to add any additional Events of Default for the benefit of the Holders of all or any Series of Securities (and if such Events of Default are to be for the
benefit of less than all Series of Securities, stating that such Events of Default are expressly being included solely for the benefit of such Series); provided, however, that in respect of any such additional Events of Default such
supplemental indenture may provide for a particular period of grace after default (which period may be shorter or longer than that allowed in the case of other defaults) or may provide for an immediate enforcement upon such default or may limit the
remedies available to the Trustee upon such default or may limit the right of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of that or those Series of Securities to which such additional Events of Default apply to waive such default; or

 (4) to change or eliminate any of the provisions of this Indenture, provided that any such change or elimination shall become effective
only when there is no Security Outstanding of any Series created prior to the execution of such supplemental indenture which is entitled to the benefit of such provision; or 

(5) to secure the Securities; or 

  
 36 








 (6) to establish the form or terms of Securities of any Series as permitted or contemplated by Sections 2.01 and
3.01; or 
 (7) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more
Series and to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee; or 

(8) to add to, change or eliminate any of the provisions of this Indenture to such extent as shall be necessary to comply with the rules or regulations of any
securities exchange or automated quotation system on which any Securities may be listed or traded; or 
 (9) to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement
any provision herein which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision herein, or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Indenture which shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of
this Indenture, provided such provisions shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of Securities of any Series in any material respect; or 

(10) to supplement any of the provisions of this Indenture to such extent as shall be necessary to permit or facilitate the defeasance and discharge of any
Series of Securities pursuant to Sections 4.01, 14.02 and 14.03; provided that any such action shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of Securities of such Series a or any other Series of Securities in any material
respect. 
 SECTION 9.02. Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Holders. 

With the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of all Outstanding Securities affected by such supplemental indenture, by Act
of said Holders delivered to the Company and the Trustee, the Company, when authorized by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to or
changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Securities under this Indenture; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall,
without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby: 
 (1) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of (or premium or
Make-Whole Amount, if any, on) or any installment of interest, if any, on, any Security; or reduce the principal amount thereof or the rate or amount of interest, if any, thereon, or any premium or Make-Whole Amount payable upon the redemption
thereof, or reduce the amount of the principal of an Original Issue Discount Security that would be due and payable upon a declaration of acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 5.02 or the amount thereof provable in bankruptcy
pursuant to Section 5.04, or adversely affect any right of repayment at the option of the Holder of any Security (if any), or change any Place of Payment where, or the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or
currencies in which, any Security or any premium or Make-Whole Amount or the interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the Stated Maturity thereof (or, in the case of
redemption or repayment at the option of the Holder (if any), on or after the Redemption Date or the Repayment Date, as the case may be), 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 with respect to such Series (or
compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture or certain defaults hereunder and their consequences) provided for in this Indenture, or reduce the requirements of Section 15.04 for quorum or voting, or 

(3) modify any of the provisions of this Section, Section 5.13 or Section 10.06, except to increase the required percentage to effect such action 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 9.02 and Section 10.06, or the deletion of this proviso, in accordance with the requirements of Sections
6.09(b) and 9.01(8). 
 It shall not be necessary for any Act of Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed
supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof. 

  
 37 








 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. 
 SECTION 9.03. Execution of Supplemental Indentures. 

In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modification thereby of the trusts
created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be provided with, and (subject to Section 6.12) shall be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 1.02 herein, an Officers’ Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel each stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture which affects the
Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. 
 SECTION 9.04. Effect of Supplemental Indentures. 

Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article, this Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such supplemental indenture

the Company, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Securities of such Series. 

SECTION 9.07. Subordination Unimpaired. 
 This
Indenture may not be amended at any time to alter the subordination, as provided herein, of any of the Securities then Outstanding without the written consent of each holder of Senior Debt then outstanding that would be adversely affected thereby.

 ARTICLE TEN—COVENANTS 

SECTION 10.01. Payment of Principal, Premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any, and Interest, if any. 

The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Holders of each Series of Securities that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of (and
premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) and interest, if any, on the Securities of that Series in accordance with the terms of such Series of Securities and this Indenture. Unless otherwise specified with respect to Securities of any Series pursuant
to Section 3.01, at the option of the Company (upon written notice to the Trustee), all payments of principal may be paid by check to the registered Holder of the Registered Security or other Person entitled thereto against surrender of such
Security. 
 SECTION 10.02. Maintenance of Office or Agency. 

If Securities of a Series are issuable as Registered Securities, the Company shall maintain in each Place of Payment for any Series of Securities an office or
agency where Securities of that Series may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Securities of that Series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the
Securities of that Series and this Indenture may be served. 

  
 38 








 The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of
each such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served
at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee and the Company hereby appoints the same as its agent to receive such respective presentations, surrenders, notices and demands, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee its agent to receive all such
presentations, surrenders, notices and demands. 
 The Company may from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies (in or outside the
Place of Payment) where the Securities of one or more Series may be presented or surrendered for any or all of 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 accordance with the requirements set forth above 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. Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Securities pursuant to Section 3.01, with respect to a Series of Securities,
the Company hereby designates as a Place of Payment for each Series of Securities, each of (i) the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and (ii) the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee (as
Paying Agent); and the Company hereby initially appoints the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office as Paying Agent in such city; and the Company hereby initially appoints as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and
demands each of the Trustee, at its Corporate Trust Office. 
 Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Securities pursuant to Section 3.01, if
and so long as the Securities of any Series (i) are denominated in a Foreign Currency or (ii) may be payable in a Foreign Currency, or so long as it is required under any other provision of this Indenture, then the Company will maintain
with respect to each such Series of Securities, or as so required, at least one exchange rate agent (of which it shall give written notice to the Trustee). 

SECTION 10.03. Money for Securities Payments to Be Held in Trust. 

If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect to any Series of any Securities, it will, on or before each due date of the
principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any), or interest, if any, on any of the Securities of that Series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum in the currency or currencies, currency unit or
units or composite currency or currencies in which the Securities of such Series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01 for the Securities of such Series) sufficient to pay the principal (and premium or Make-Whole
Amount, if any) or interest, if any, so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided, and will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. 

Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any Series of Securities, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of (and premium
or Make-Whole Amount, if any), or interest, if any, on any Securities of that Series, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum (in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies described in the preceding paragraph)
sufficient to pay the principal (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) or interest, if any, so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal, premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any, or
interest, if any, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. 
 The
Company will cause each Paying Agent for any Series of Securities other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that
such Paying Agent will: 
 (1) hold all sums held by it for the payment of principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) or interest, if any, on
Securities in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided; 

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

  
 39 








 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 by Company Order 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 trusts as those upon which such sums were held
by the Company or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such sums. 

Except as otherwise provided in the Securities of any Series, and subject to applicable laws, any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or
then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) or interest, if any, on any Security of any Series and remaining unclaimed for 2 years after such principal (and premium or Make-Whole
Amount, if any) or interest, if any, has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company upon Company Request or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured
general creditor, look only to the Company for payment of such principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) or interest, if any, on any Security, without interest thereon, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect
to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the
Company cause to be published once, in an Authorized Newspaper, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such
money then remaining will be repaid to the Company. 
 SECTION 10.04. Existence. 

Subject to Article Eight, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence, all
material rights (by charter and statute) and material franchises; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right or franchise if the Board of Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof
is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company. 
 SECTION 10.05. Statement as to Compliance. 

The Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, a brief certificate from the principal executive officer,
principal financial officer or principal accounting officer as to his or her knowledge of the Company’s compliance with all conditions and covenants under this Indenture and, in the event of any noncompliance, specifying such noncompliance and
the nature and status thereof. For purposes of this Section 10.08, such compliance shall be determined without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice under this Indenture. 

The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, as soon as possible and in any event within five Business Days after a Senior Officer becomes aware of the
occurrence of any Event of Default or an event which, with notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default, an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the details of such Event of Default or default and the action which
the Company proposes to take with respect thereto. 
 SECTION 10.06. Waiver of Certain Covenants. 

The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in Sections 10.04 to 10.05, inclusive, if before or
after the time for such compliance the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of all outstanding Securities of such Series, by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such
covenant or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such covenant or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee in
respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in full force and effect. 

  
 40 








 ARTICLE ELEVEN—REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES 

SECTION 11.01. Applicability of Article. 

Securities of any Series which are redeemable before their Stated Maturity shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms and (except as otherwise
specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for Securities of any Series) in accordance with this Article. 
 SECTION 11.02. Election to Redeem;
Notice to Trustee. 
 The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by or pursuant to a Board Resolution. In case of any
redemption at the election of the Company of less than all of the Securities of any Series, the Company shall, at least 45 days prior to the giving of the notice of redemption in Section 11.04 (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to
the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date and of the principal amount of Securities of such Series to be redeemed. 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 such restriction. 

SECTION 11.03. Selection by Trustee of Securities to Be Redeemed. 

If less than all the Securities of any Series issued on the same day with the same terms are to be redeemed, the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be
selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such Series issued on such date with the same terms not previously called for redemption, by lot or by such other method that is required
by the depository for the Securities and which may provide for the selection for redemption of portions (equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that Series or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal amount of
Securities of such Series of a denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that Series. 
 The Trustee shall promptly
notify the Company and the Security Registrar (if other than itself) in writing of the Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Securities selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. 

For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate, in the case
of any Security redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Security which has been or is to be redeemed. 

SECTION 11.04. Notice of Redemption. 
 Notice of
redemption shall be given in the manner provided in Section 1.06, not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, unless a shorter period is specified by the terms of such Series established pursuant to
Section 3.01, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, but failure to give such notice in the manner herein provided to the Holder of any Security designated for redemption as a whole or in part, or any defect in the notice to any such
Holder, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other such Security or portion thereof. 
 Any notice that is mailed to
the Holders of Registered Securities in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives the notice. 

All notices of redemption shall state: 
 (1) the Redemption
Date, 
 (2) the Redemption Price, accrued interest to the Redemption Date payable as provided in Section 11.06, if any, 

(3) if less than all Outstanding Securities of any Series are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the principal
amount) of the particular Security or Securities to be redeemed, 
 (4) in case any Security is to be redeemed in part only, the notice which relates to
such Security shall state that on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Security, the holder will receive, without a charge, a new Security or Securities of authorized denominations for the principal amount thereof remaining
unredeemed, 
 (5) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price and accrued interest to the Redemption Date payable as provided in Section 11.06,
if any, will become due and payable upon each such Security, or the portion thereof, to be redeemed and, if applicable, that interest thereon shall cease to accrue on and after said date, 

  
 41 








 (6) the Place or Places of Payment where such Securities maturing after the Redemption Date, are to be
surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any, 
 (7) that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case, and

 (8) the CUSIP number of such Security, if any. 
 Notice of
redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Company shall be given by the Company or, at the Company’s request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company. 

SECTION 11.05. Deposit of Redemption Price. 
 On or
prior to any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, which it may not do in the case of a sinking fund payment under Article Twelve, segregate and hold
in trust as provided in Section 10.03) an amount of money in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies in which the Securities of such Series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to
Section 3.01 for the Securities of such Series) sufficient to pay on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the Securities or portions thereof
which are to be redeemed on that date. 
 SECTION 11.06. Securities Payable on Redemption Date. 

Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption
Price therein specified in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies in which the Securities of such Series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01 for the Securities of
such Series) (together with accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date), and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any) such Securities shall, if the same
were interest-bearing, cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest, if any, to the
Redemption Date; provided, however, that installments of interest, if any, on Registered Securities whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more
Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 3.07. 

If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any)
shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate borne by the Security. 
 SECTION 11.07. Securities Redeemed in Part. 

Any Registered Security which is to be redeemed only in part (pursuant to the provisions of this Article or of Article Twelve) shall be surrendered at a Place
of Payment therefor (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in
writing) and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service charge a new Security or Securities of the same Series, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder
in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered. If a Global Security is so surrendered, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to
the depository, without service charge, a new Global Security in a denomination equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Global Security so surrendered. 

ARTICLE TWELVE—SINKING FUNDS

provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of a Series except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for Securities of such Series. 

  
 42 








 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 such Securities of any Series is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund
payment.” If provided for by the terms of any Securities of any Series, the cash amount of any mandatory sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 12.02. 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 12.02. Satisfaction of Sinking Fund
Payments with Securities. 
 The Company may, in satisfaction of all or any part of any mandatory sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities of
a Series, (1) deliver Outstanding Securities of such Series (other than any previously called for redemption) and (2) apply as a credit Securities of such Series which have been redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to
the terms of such Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Securities, as provided for by the terms of such Securities, or which have otherwise been acquired by the Company;
provided that such Securities so delivered or applied as a credit have not been previously so credited. Such Securities shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the applicable Redemption Price specified in such
Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such mandatory sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly. 

SECTION 12.03. Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund. 

Not less than 60 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for Securities of any Series, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’
Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment for that Series pursuant to the terms of that Series, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash in the currency or currencies,
currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies in which the Securities of such Series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01 for the Securities of such Series) and the portion thereof, if any, which is
to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities of that Series pursuant to Section 12.02, and the optional amount, if any, to be added in cash to the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, and will also deliver to the Trustee any
Securities to be so delivered and credited. If such Officers’ Certificate shall specify an optional amount to be added in cash to the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, the Company shall thereupon be obligated to pay the amount
therein specified. Not less than 30 days before each such sinking fund payment date the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 11.03 and cause notice of the
redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided in Section 11.04. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated
in Sections 11.06 and 11.07. 
 ARTICLE THIRTEEN—REPAYMENT AT THE OPTION OF HOLDERS 

SECTION 13.01. Applicability of Article. 
 Repayment
of Securities of any Series before their Stated Maturity at the option of Holders thereof shall be made in accordance with the terms of such Securities, if any, and (except as otherwise specified by the terms of such Series established pursuant to
Section 3.01) in accordance with this Article. 
 SECTION 13.02. Repayment of Securities. 

Securities of any Series subject to repayment in whole or in part at the option of the Holders thereof will, unless otherwise provided in the terms of such
Securities, be repaid at a price equal to the principal amount thereof, together with interest, if any, thereon accrued to the Repayment Date specified in or pursuant to the terms of such Securities. The Company covenants that on or prior to the
Repayment Date it will deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 10.03) an amount of money in the currency or currencies, currency
unit or units or composite currency or currencies in which the Securities of such Series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01 for the Securities of such Series) sufficient to pay the principal (or, if so provided
by the terms of the Securities of any Series, a percentage of the principal) of, and (except if the Repayment Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the Securities or portions thereof, as the case may be, to be repaid on
such date. 

  
 43 








 SECTION 13.03. Exercise of Option. 

Securities of any Series subject to repayment at the option of the Holders thereof will contain an “Option to Elect Repayment” form on the
reverse of such Securities. In order for any Security to be repaid at the option of the Holder, the Trustee must receive at the Place of Payment therefor specified in the terms of such Security (or at such other place or places of which the Company
shall from time to time notify the Holders of such Securities) not earlier than 60 days nor later than 30 days prior to the Repayment Date (1) the Security so providing for such repayment together with the “Option to Elect Repayment”
form on the reverse thereof duly completed by the Holder (or by the Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing) or (2) a facsimile transmission or a letter from a member of a national securities exchange, or the Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”), or a commercial bank or trust company in the United States setting forth the name of the Holder of the Security, the principal amount of the Security, the principal amount of the Security to be
repaid, the CUSIP number, if any, or a description of the tenor and terms of the Security, a statement that the option to elect repayment is being exercised thereby and a guarantee that the Security to be repaid, together with the duly completed
form entitled “Option to Elect Repayment” on the reverse of the Security, will be received by the Trustee not later than the fifth Business Day after the date of such facsimile transmission or letter; provided, however, that
such telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter shall only be effective if such Security and form duly completed are received by the Trustee by such fifth Business Day. If less than the entire principal amount of such Security is to be repaid
in accordance with the terms of such Security, the principal amount of such Security to be repaid, in increments of the minimum denomination for Securities of such Series, and the denomination or denominations of the Security or Securities to be
issued to the Holder for the portion of the principal amount of such Security surrendered that is not to be repaid, must be specified. The principal amount of any Security providing for repayment at the option of the Holder thereof may not be repaid
in part if, following such repayment, the unpaid principal amount of such Security would be less than the minimum authorized denomination of Securities of the Series of which such Security to be repaid is a part. Except as otherwise may be provided
by the terms of any Security providing for repayment at the option of the Holder thereof, exercise of the repayment option by the Holder shall be irrevocable unless waived by the Company. 

SECTION 13.04. When Securities Presented for Repayment Become Due and Payable. 

If Securities of any Series providing for repayment at the option of the Holders thereof shall have been surrendered as provided in this Article and as
provided by or pursuant to the terms of such Securities, such Securities or the portions thereof, as the case may be, to be repaid shall become due and payable and shall be paid by the Company on the Repayment Date therein specified, and on and
after such Repayment Date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of such Securities on such Repayment Date) such Securities shall, if the same were interest-bearing, cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Security for repayment
in accordance with such provisions, the principal amount of such Security so to be repaid shall be paid by the Company, together with accrued interest, if any, to the Repayment Date; provided, however, that, in the case of Registered
Securities, installments of interest, if any, whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Repayment Date shall be payable (but without interest thereon, unless the Company shall default in the payment thereof) to the Holders of such Securities, or
one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 3.07. 

If the principal amount of any Security surrendered for repayment shall not be so repaid upon surrender thereof, such principal amount (together with
interest, if any, thereon accrued to such Repayment Date) shall, until paid, bear interest from the Repayment Date at the rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities) set forth in such Security. 

SECTION 13.05. Securities Repaid in Part. 
 Upon
surrender of any Registered Security which is to be repaid in part only, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security, without service charge and at the expense of the Company, a new
Registered Security or Securities of the same Series, of any authorized denomination specified by the Holder, in an aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the portion of the principal of such Security so surrendered which is not to
be repaid. 

  
 44 








 ARTICLE FOURTEEN—DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE 

SECTION 14.01. Applicability of Article: Company’s Option to Effect Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 

If, pursuant to Section 3.01, provision is made for either or both of (a) defeasance of the Securities of or within a Series under
Section 14.02 or (b) covenant defeasance of the Securities of or within a Series under Section 14.03, then the provisions of such Section or Sections, as the case may be, together with the other provisions of this Article (with such
modifications thereto as may be specified pursuant to Section 3.01 with respect to any Securities), shall be applicable to such Securities, and the Company may at its option by Board Resolution, at any time, with respect to such Securities,
elect to have Section 14.02 (if applicable) or Section 14.03 (if applicable) be applied to such Outstanding Securities upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article. 

SECTION 14.02. Defeasance and Discharge. 
 Upon the
Company’s exercise of the above option applicable to this Section with respect to any Securities of or within a Series, the Company shall be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to such Outstanding Securities on the
date the conditions set forth in Section 14.04 are satisfied (hereinafter, “defeasance”). For this purpose, such defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented
by such Outstanding Securities, which shall thereafter be deemed to be Outstanding only for the purposes of Section 14.05 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (A) and (B) below, and to have satisfied all of
its other obligations under such Securities and this Indenture insofar as such Securities are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following which shall
survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (A) the rights of Holders of such Outstanding Securities to receive, solely from the trust fund described in Section 14.04 and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in
respect of the principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) and interest, if any, on such Securities when such payments are due, (B) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Securities under Sections 3.05, 3.06, 10.02 and

exercise its option under this Section notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 14.03 with respect to such Securities. 

SECTION 14.03. Covenant Defeasance. 
 Upon the
Company’s exercise of the above option applicable to this Section with respect to any Securities of or within a Series, the Company shall be released from its obligations under Sections 10.04 to 10.06, inclusive, and, if specified pursuant to
Section 3.01, its obligations under any other covenant contained herein or in any indenture supplemental hereto, with respect to such Outstanding Securities on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 14.04 are satisfied
(hereinafter, “covenant defeasance”), and such Securities shall thereafter be deemed to be not Outstanding for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or Act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in
connection with Sections 10.04 to 10.06, inclusive, or such other covenant, but shall continue to be deemed Outstanding for all other purposes hereunder. For this purpose, such covenant defeasance means that, with respect to such Outstanding
Securities, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such Section or such other covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere
herein to any such Section or such other covenant or by reason of reference in any such Section or such other covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a default or an Event of
Default under Section 5.01(4) to 5.01(7), inclusive, or otherwise, as the case may be, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities shall be unaffected thereby. 

SECTION 14.04. Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 

The following shall be the conditions to application of Section 14.02 or Section 14.03 to any Outstanding Securities of or within a Series: 

(a) The Company shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee satisfying the requirements of

benefit of the Holders of such Securities, (1) an amount in such currency, currencies or currency unit in which such Securities are then specified as payable at Stated Maturity, or (2) Government Obligations applicable to such Securities
(determined on the basis of the currency, currencies or 

  
 45 








 
currency unit in which such Securities are then specified as payable at Stated Maturity) which through the scheduled payment of principal and interest, if any, in respect thereof in accordance
with their terms will provide, not later than the due date of any payment of principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) and interest, if any, on such Securities, money in an amount, or (3) a combination thereof, in any case, in an
amount, sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of such principal and interest, if any, 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, and which shall be applied by the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) to pay and discharge, (i) the principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) and interest, if any, on such Outstanding Securities on
the Stated Maturity of such principal or installment of principal or interest and (ii) any mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments applicable to such Outstanding Securities on the day on which such payments are due and payable in
accordance with the terms of this Indenture and of such Securities. 
 (b) Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation
of, or constitute a default under any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture and the agreements governing any other indebtedness being defeased, discharged or replaced) to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound.

 (c) No Event of Default or event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become an Event of Default with respect to such Securities shall have
occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or, insofar as Sections 5.01(6) and 5.01(7) are concerned, at any time during the period ending on the 91st day after the date of such deposit (it being understood that this condition shall not
be deemed satisfied until the expiration of such period) except for an Event of Default or event which with notice or lapse of time or both become an Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and any
similar or concurrent deposit relating to other indebtedness being defeased, discharged or replaced, and the grants of liens to secure such borrowings. 

(d) In the case of an election under Section 14.02, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (i) the
Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (ii) since the date of execution 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 shall confirm that, the Holders of such Outstanding Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such 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 defeasance had not occurred. 
 (e) In the case of an
election under Section 14.03, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of such Outstanding 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. 

(f) The Company shall have delivered an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the
Holders of the Outstanding Securities over their creditors or with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any of their creditors or others.

(a) above and the related exercise of the Company’s option under Section 14.02 or Section 14.03 (as the case may be), registration is not required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, by the Company, with respect
to the trust funds representing such deposit or by the Trustee for such trust funds or (ii) all necessary registrations under said Act have been effected. 

(h) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section, such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall be effected in compliance with any additional or
substitute terms, conditions or limitations which may be imposed on the Company in connection therewith pursuant to Section 3.01. 
 (i) The payment of
amounts payable to the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture shall be paid or provided for to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee. 

  
 46 








 SECTION 14.05. Deposited Money and Government Obligations to Be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous
Provisions. 
 Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 10.03, all money and Government Obligations (or other property as may be
provided pursuant to Section 3.01) (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 14.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 14.04 in
respect of any Outstanding Securities of any Series shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including
the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Securities of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) and interest, if any, but such
money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Security pursuant to
Section 3.01, if, after a deposit referred to in Section 14.04(a) has been made, (a) the Holder of a Security in respect of which such deposit was made is entitled to, and does, elect pursuant to Section 3.01 or the terms of such
Security to receive payment in a currency or currency unit other than that in which the deposit pursuant to Section 14.04(a) has been made in respect of such Security, or (b) a Conversion Event occurs in respect of the currency or currency
unit in which the deposit pursuant to Section 14.04(a) has been made, the indebtedness represented by such Security shall be deemed to have been, and will be, fully discharged and satisfied through the payment of the principal of (and premium
or Make-Whole Amount, if any), and interest, if any, on such Security as the same becomes due out of the proceeds yielded by converting (from time to time as specified below in the case of any such election) the amount or other property deposited in
respect of such Security into the currency or currency unit in which such Security becomes payable as a result of such election or Conversion Event based on the applicable market exchange rate for such currency or currency unit in effect on the
second Business Day prior to each payment date, except, with respect to a Conversion Event, for such currency or currency unit in effect (as nearly as feasible) at the time of the Conversion Event. 

The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the Government Obligations deposited
pursuant to Section 14.04 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of such Outstanding Securities. 

Anything in this Article to the contrary notwithstanding, subject to Section 6.06, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon
Company Request any money or Government Obligations (or other property and any proceeds therefrom) held by it as provided in Section 14.04 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a
written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect a defeasance or covenant defeasance, as applicable, in accordance with this Article. 

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or U.S. dollars or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Article 14, by reason of
any order or judgment of any court or other U.S. governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and any Security will be revived and reinstated as
though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article 14 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with this Article 14, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Company makes any
payment of principal of, premium, or interest, if any, on, any Security following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company will be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money of U.S.
Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

on the Securities, and to that end the holders of Senior Debt shall be entitled to receive, for application to the payment thereof, any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, including any such
payment or distribution which may be payable or deliverable by reason of the payment of any other indebtedness of the Company being subordinated to the payment of the Securities, which may be payable or deliverable in respect of the Securities in
any such case, proceeding, dissolution, liquidation or other winding up event. 
 In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Section 16.02, the Trustee or the Holder of any Security shall have received any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, including any such payment or distribution
which may be payable or deliverable by reason of the payment of any other indebtedness of the Company being subordinated to the payment of the Securities, before all Senior Debt is paid in full or payment thereof provided for, and if such fact
shall, at or prior to the time of such payment or distribution, have been made known to the Trustee or, as the case may be, such Holder, then and in such event such payment or distribution shall be paid over or delivered forthwith to the trustee in
bankruptcy, receiver, liquidating trustee, custodian, assignee, agent or other Person making payment or distribution of assets of the Company for application to the payment of all Senior Debt remaining unpaid, to the extent necessary to pay all
Senior Debt in full, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of Senior Debt. Any taxes that have been withheld or deducted from any payment or distribution in respect of the Securities, or any taxes that
ought to have been withheld or deducted from any such payment or distribution that have been remitted to the relevant taxing authority, shall not be considered to an amount that the Trustee or the Holder of any Security receives for purposes of
this Section. 
 For purposes of this Article Sixteen only, the words “cash, property or securities” shall not be deemed to include Capital
Stock of the Company as reorganized or readjusted, or securities of the Company or any other Person provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment which are subordinated in right of payment to all Senior Debt which may at the time be
outstanding to substantially the same extent as, or to a greater extent than, the Securities are so subordinated as provided in this Article. The consolidation of the Company with, or the merger of the Company into, another Person or the liquidation
or dissolution of the Company following the conveyance or transfer of its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to another Person upon the terms and conditions set forth in Article Eight shall not be deemed a dissolution, winding up,
liquidation, reorganization, assignment for the 

  
 50 








 
benefit of creditors or marshalling of assets and liabilities of the Company for the purposes of this Section if the Person formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or the
Person which acquires by conveyance or transfer such properties and assets substantially as an entirety, as the case may be, shall, as a part of such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer, comply with the conditions set forth in
Article Eight. 
 SECTION 16.03. Prior Payment to Senior Debt upon Acceleration of Securities. 

In the event that any Securities are declared due and payable before their Stated Maturity, then and in such event the holders of Senior Debt shall be
entitled to receive payment in full of all amounts due or to become due on or in respect of all Senior Debt or provision shall be made for such payment in cash, before the Holders of the Securities are entitled to receive any payment (including any
payment which may be payable by reason of the payment of any other indebtedness of the Company being subordinated to the payment of the Securities) by the Company on account of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on the Securities or
on account of the purchase or other acquisition of Securities; provided, however, that nothing in this Section shall prevent the satisfaction of any sinking fund payment in accordance with Article Twelve by delivering and crediting
pursuant to Section 12.02 Securities which have been acquired (upon redemption or otherwise) prior to such declaration of acceleration. 
 In the event
that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall make any payment to the Trustee or the Holder of any Security prohibited by the foregoing provisions of this Section, and if such fact shall, at or prior to the time of such payment, have been
made known to the Trustee or, as the case may be, such Holder, then and in such event such payment shall be paid over and delivered forthwith to the Company. 

The provisions of this Section shall not apply to any payment with respect to which Section 16.02 would be applicable. 

SECTION 16.04. No Payment When Senior Debt in Default. 

(a) In the event and during the continuation of any default in the payment of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Senior Debt beyond any
applicable grace period with respect thereto, or in the event that any event of default with respect to any Senior Debt shall have occurred and be continuing permitting the holders of such Senior Debt (or a trustee on behalf of the holders
thereof) to declare such Senior Debt due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise have become due and payable, unless and until such event of default shall have been cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist and such
acceleration shall have been rescinded or annulled, or (b) in the event any judicial proceeding shall be pending with respect to any such default in payment or event of default, then no payment (including any payment which may be payable by
reason of the payment of any other indebtedness of the Company being subordinated to the payment of the Securities) shall be made by the Company on account of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on the Securities or on account of the
purchase or other acquisition of Securities; provided, however, that nothing in this Section shall prevent the satisfaction of any sinking fund payment in accordance with Article Twelve by delivering and crediting pursuant to
Section 12.02 Securities which have been acquired (upon redemption or otherwise) prior to such default in Payment or event of default. 
 In the event
that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall make any payment to the Trustee or the Holder of any Security prohibited by the foregoing provisions of this Section, and if such fact shall, at or prior to the time of such payment, have been
made known to the Trustee or, as the case may be, such Holder, then and in such event such payment shall be paid over and delivered forthwith to the Company. 

The provisions of this Section shall not apply to any payment with respect to which Section 16.02 would be applicable. 

SECTION 16.05. Payment Permitted in Certain Situations. 

Nothing contained in this Article Sixteen or elsewhere in this Indenture or in any of the Securities shall prevent (a) the Company, at any time except
during the pendency of any case, proceeding, dissolution, liquidation or other winding up, assignment for the benefit of creditors or other marshalling of assets and liabilities of the Company referred to in Section 16.02 or under the
conditions described in Section 16.03 or 16.04, from making payments at any time of principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on the Securities, or (b) the application by the Trustee of any money deposited with it hereunder
to the payment of or on account of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on the Securities or the retention of such payment by the holders, if, at the time of such application by the Trustee, it did not have knowledge that such
payment would have been prohibited by the provisions of this Article Sixteen. 

  
 51 








 SECTION 16.06. Subrogation to Rights of Holders of Senior Debt. 

Subject to the payment in full of all Senior Debt or the provision for such payment in cash or cash equivalents or otherwise in a manner satisfactory to the
holders of Senior Debt, the Holders of the Securities shall be subrogated to the extent of the payments or distributions made to the holders of such Senior Debt pursuant to the provisions of this Article Sixteen (equally and ratably with the holders
of indebtedness of the Company which by its express terms is subordinated to indebtedness of the Company to substantially the same extent as the Securities are subordinated to the Senior Debt and is entitled to like rights of subrogation) to the
rights of the holders of such Senior Debt to receive payments and distributions of cash, property and securities applicable to the Senior Debt until the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Securities shall be paid in full.
For purposes of such subrogation, no payments or distributions to the holders of the Senior Debt of any cash, property or securities to which the Holders of the Securities or the Trustee would be entitled except for the provisions of this Article
Sixteen, and no payments over pursuant to the provisions of this Article Sixteen to the holders of Senior Debt by Holders of the Securities or the Trustee, shall, as among the Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior Debt and the Holders
of the Securities, be deemed to be a payment or distribution by the Company to or on account of the Senior Debt. 
 SECTION 16.07. Provisions
Solely to Define Relative Rights. 
 The provisions of this Article Sixteen are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights
of the Holders of the Securities on the one hand and the holders of Senior Debt on the other hand. Nothing contained in this Article Sixteen or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities is intended to or shall (a) impair, as among the
Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior Debt and the Holders of the Securities, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional (and which, subject to the rights under this Article Sixteen of the holders of Senior
Debt, is intended to rank equally with all other general obligations of the Company), to pay to the Holders of the Securities the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Securities as and when the same shall become due and
payable in accordance with their terms; or (b) affect the relative rights against the Company of the Holders of the Securities and creditors of the Company other than the holders of Senior Debt; or (c) prevent the Trustee or the Holder of
any Security from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article Sixteen of the holders of Senior Debt to receive cash, property and securities
otherwise payable or deliverable to the Trustee or such Holder. 
 SECTION 16.08. Trustee to Effectuate Subordination. 

Each Holder of a Security by his acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee on his behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to
effectuate the subordination provided in this Article Sixteen and appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. 

SECTION 16.09. No Waiver of Subordination Provisions. 

No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Debt to enforce subordination as herein provided shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired
by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder, or by any non-compliance by the Company with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Indenture, regardless of any
knowledge thereof any such holder may have or be otherwise charged with. 
 Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph, the
holders of Senior Debt may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the Trustee or the Holders of the Securities, without incurring responsibility to the Holders of the Securities and without impairing or releasing the
subordination provided in this Article Sixteen or the obligations hereunder of the Holders of the Securities to the holders of Senior Debt do any one or more of the following: (i) change the manner, place or terms of payment or extend the time
of payment of, or renew or alter, Senior Debt or otherwise amend or supplement in any manner Senior Debt or any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which Senior Debt is outstanding; (ii) sell, exchange, release or otherwise
deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing Senior Debt; (iii) release any Person liable in any manner for the collection of Senior Debt; and (iv) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Company and
any other Person. 

  
 52 








 SECTION 16.10. Notice to Trustee. 

The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any fact known to the Company which would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the
Trustee in respect of the Securities pursuant to this Article Sixteen. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article Sixteen or any other provision of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts
which would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee in respect of the Securities, unless and until the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof from the Company or a holder of Senior Debt or from any trustee therefor; and,
prior to the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 6.12, shall be entitled in all respects to assume that no such facts exist. 

Subject to the provisions of Section 6.12, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a Person representing
himself to be a holder of Senior Debt (or a trustee therefor) to establish that such notice has been given by a holder of Senior Debt (or a trustee therefor). In the event that the Trustee determines in good faith that further evidence is
required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Senior Debt to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article Sixteen, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the
Trustee as to the amount of Senior Debt held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article, and if such
evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment. 

SECTION 16.11. Reliance on Judicial Order or Certificate of Liquidating Agent. 

Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article Sixteen, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 6.12,
and the Holders of the Securities shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree entered by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution, winding up or similar
case or proceeding is pending, or a certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, liquidating trustee, custodian, assignee for the benefit of creditors, agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to
the Holders of Securities, for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of Senior Debt and other indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or
amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article Sixteen. 
 SECTION 16.12. Trustee Not Fiduciary
for Holders of Senior Debt. 
 The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Debt and shall not be liable to any
such holders or creditors if it shall in good faith pay over or distribute to Holders of Securities or to the Company or to any other Person cash, property or securities to which any holders of Senior Debt shall be entitled by virtue of this Article
Sixteen or otherwise. 
 SECTION 16.13. Rights of Trustee as Holder of Senior Debt; Preservation of Trustee’s Rights. 

The Trustee in its individual capacity shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article Sixteen with respect to any Senior Debt which may at any
time be held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Senior Debt and nothing in this Indenture shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder. 

Nothing in this Article Sixteen shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 6.06. 

SECTION 16.14. Articles Applicable to Paying Agents. 

In case at any time any Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall have been appointed by the Company and be then acting hereunder, the term
“Trustee” as used in this Article Sixteen shall in such case (unless the context otherwise requires) be construed as extending to and including such Paying Agent within its meaning as fully for all intents and purposes as if such Paying
Agent were named in this Article in addition to or in place of the Trustee; provided, however, that Section 16.13 shall not apply to the Company or any Affiliate of the Company if it or such Affiliate acts as Paying Agent.

Unless this Security is presented by an authorized representative of The Depository Trust Company a New York corporation (“DTC”) to the Company
or its agent for registration of transfer, exchange or payment, and such Security issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co., or in such other name as requested by an authorized representative of DTC (and any payment is made to
Cede & Co. or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL, inasmuch as the registered owner hereof,
Cede & Co., has an interest herein. 
 Unless and until this Security is exchanged in whole or in part for Securities in certificated form,

RETAIL PROPERTIES OF AMERICA, INC., a Maryland corporation (herein referred to as the “Company,” which term includes any successor corporation under
the Indenture referred to on the reverse hereof), for value received, hereby promises to pay to                      or registered assigns the
principal sum of          Dollars on                      (the “Stated Maturity Date”) [or
insert date fixed for earlier redemption (the “Redemption Date,” and together with the Stated Maturity Date with respect to principal repayable on such date, the “Maturity Date.”)] 

  
 A-1 








 [If the Security is to bear interest prior to Maturity, insert — and to pay interest thereon from
             or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually on
             and              in each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing
            , at the rate of     % per annum, until the principal hereof is paid or duly provided for. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for,
on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Holder in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which
shall be the              or              (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest
Payment Date [at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose; provided, however, that such interest may be paid, at the Company’s option, by mailing a check to such Holder at its registered address or by
transfer of funds to an account maintained by such Holder within the United States]. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date, and may be paid to the
Holder in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to
Holders of Securities of this Series not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities of this
Series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.] 

[If the Security is not to bear interest prior to Maturity, insert — The principal of this Security shall not bear interest except in the case of
a default in payment of principal upon acceleration, upon redemption or at the [Stated] Maturity Date and in such case the overdue principal of this Security shall bear interest at the rate of     % per annum (to the extent that
the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), which shall accrue from the date of such default in payment to the date payment of such principal has been made or duly provided for. Interest on any overdue principal shall be payable on
demand. Any such interest on any overdue principal that is not so paid on demand shall bear interest at the rate of     % per annum (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), which shall
accrue from the date of such demand for payment to the date payment of such interest has been made or duly provided for, and such interest shall also be payable on demand.] 

The principal of this Security payable on the Stated Maturity Date [or the principal of, premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any, and, if the Redemption Date is
not an Interest Payment Date, interest on this Security payable on the Redemption Date] will be paid against presentation of this Security at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in
            , in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts. 

Interest payable on this Security on any Interest Payment Date and on the [Stated] Maturity Date [or Redemption Date, as the case may be,] will include
interest accrued from and including the next preceding Interest Payment Date in respect of which interest has been paid or duly provided for (or from and including             , if no
interest has been paid on this Security) to but excluding such Interest Payment Date or the [Stated] Maturity Date [or Redemption Date, as the case may be.] If any Interest Payment Date or the [Stated] Maturity Date or [Redemption Date] falls on a

Amount, if any, and/or interest payable with respect to such Interest Payment Date or [Stated] Maturity Date [or Redemption Date, as the case may be,] will be paid on the next succeeding Business
Day with the same force and effect as if it were paid on the date such payment was due, and no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date or [Stated] Maturity Date [or Redemption Date, as
the case may be.] “Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions in The City of New York are required or authorized by law, regulation or executive

Securities authenticated and delivered upon transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of other Securities).] All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

 A-5 








 The Company covenants and agrees, and each Holder of a Security, by his acceptance thereof, likewise covenants
and agrees, that to the extent and in the manner set forth in Article Sixteen of the Indenture, the indebtedness represented by the Securities and the payment of principal (and premium, if any) and interest on each and all of the Securities are
hereby expressly made subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Debt. 
 The Indenture permits, with certain
exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent
of the Holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of all Securities issued under the Indenture at the time Outstanding and affected thereby. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of not less than a
majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, on behalf of the Holders of all such Securities, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture. Furthermore, provisions in the Indenture permit
the Holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount, in certain instances, of the Outstanding Securities of any Series to waive, on behalf of all of the Holders of Securities of such Series, certain past defaults under the
Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and other Securities issued upon the registration of transfer
hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security. 
 No reference herein to the
Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) and interest on this
Security at the times, places and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. 
 As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations
therein [and herein] set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register of the Company upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal
of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) and interest on this Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder
hereof or by his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein [and herein] set forth, this Security is exchangeable for a like aggregate principal
amount of Securities of different authorized denominations but otherwise having the same terms and conditions, as requested by the Holder hereof surrendering the same. 

The Securities of this Series are issuable only in registered form in denominations of $         and any integral
multiple thereof. 

  
 A-6 








 No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 
 Prior to due presentment of this Security for
registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither
the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 No Holder shall have any recourse under or upon any obligation,
covenant or agreement contained in the Indenture, or any indenture supplemental thereto, or this Security, or because of any indebtedness evidenced thereby, including the payment of the principal of or premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any, or the
interest on this Security, or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, against any past, present or future shareholder, or any employee, officer, director or agent, as such, of the Company or of any successor, either directly or
through the Company or any successor, under any rule of law, statute or constitutional provision or by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise. Each Holder hereof, by the acceptance hereof and as part
of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waives and releases all such liability by accepting this Security. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Security. 

The Indenture and the Securities shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to
be performed entirely in such State.
