Section 2.01 with respect to that series. The principal of and the interest on the Securities of any series, as well as any premium thereon in case of redemption thereof prior to maturity, shall be payable in Dollars except as otherwise specified

The interest installment on any Security that is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any
Interest Payment Date for Securities of that series shall be paid to the Person in whose name said Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the regular record date for such interest installment. In
the event that any Security of a particular series or portion thereof is called for redemption and the redemption date is subsequent to a regular record date with respect to any Interest Payment Date and prior to such Interest Payment Date, interest
on such Security will be paid upon presentation and surrender of such Security as provided in Section 3.03. 
 
Unless otherwise set forth in a Board Resolution of the Company or one or more indentures supplemental hereto establishing the terms of
any series of any Securities pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof, the term “regular record date” as used in this Section with respect to a series of Securities shall mean a date fifteen days immediately preceding any Interest Payment Date.
Subject to the provisions of this Section, each Security of a series delivered under this Indenture upon transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security of such series shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to
accrue, that were carried by such other Security. 
 
Unless otherwise specified with respect to a series of Securities in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.01, any interest on any Security that is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest
Payment Date for Securities of the same series (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered holder on the relevant regular record date and such Defaulted Interest shall be paid by the
Company, at its election, as provided in clause (1) or clause (2) below. 
 
(1)    The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on Securities to the Persons in whose names such Securities (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered
at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner: the Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on
each such Security and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make
arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed 
 

17 







 
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 (1) provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall
not be more than 15 nor less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such special
record date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the special record date therefor to be mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each Securityholder at his or
her address as it appears in the Security Register (as hereinafter defined), not less than 10 days prior to such special record date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the special record date therefor having been mailed
as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names such Securities (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered on such special record date and shall not be payable pursuant to the following clause (2).

 
(2)    The
Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on any Securities in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such
exchange.

Authentications. 
 
The Securities shall be
signed on behalf of the Company by two Officers. Signatures may be in the form of a manual or facsimile signature. The Company may use the facsimile signature of any Person who shall have been an Officer, notwithstanding the fact that at the time
the Securities shall be authenticated and delivered or disposed of such Person shall have ceased to be an Officer of the Company. In the case of Definitive Securities of any series, such signatures may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on such
Securities. The Securities may contain such notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage. Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication by the Trustee. 
 
A Security shall not be valid until authenticated manually by
an authorized signatory of the Trustee or by an Authenticating Agent. Such signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the holder is entitled to the benefits
of this Indenture. At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a written order of the
Company for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, signed by an Officer (an “Authentication Order”), and the Trustee in accordance with such written order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. 
 
Section 2.05    Transfer and Exchange.

 
(a)    Registration of
Transfer and Exchange.    The Company shall keep, or cause to be kept, at its office or agency designated for such purpose as provided in Section 4.02, a register or registers (herein referred to as the “Security
Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable 
 

18 







 
regulations as it may
prescribe, the Company shall register the Securities and the transfers of Securities as in this Article II provided and which at all reasonable times shall be open for inspection by the Trustee. The registrar for the purpose of registering
Securities and the transfer of Securities as herein provided shall be appointed as authorized by Board Resolution (the “Security Registrar”). If the Company fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Security Registrar, the
Trustee shall act as such. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Security Registrar. 
 
To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and deliver and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Security or Securities of the same series as the Security presented
for a like aggregate principal amount and in authorized denominations upon receipt of an Authentication Order. The Trustee shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange any Security selected for redemption in whole or in part, except
the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part. 
 
All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same indebtedness, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the
Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. Prior to such due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Security, the Trustee, the Company, any paying agent and the Security Registrar may deem and treat the
Person in whose name any Security is registered as the absolute owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Securities and for all other purposes, and none of the Trustee, the Company, the paying
agent or the Security Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 
All certifications, certificates and opinions of counsel required to be submitted to the Trustee pursuant to this Section 2.05 to effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted by
facsimile. 
 
(b)    Service
Charge.    No service charge shall be made to a holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Security or to a Holder of a Definitive Security for any exchange or registration of transfer of Securities, or issue of new
Securities in case of partial redemption of any series, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in relation thereto (other than any such taxes or other governmental charge payable upon
exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.06, 3.03(b) and 9.04 hereof). 
 
(c)    Transfer and Exchange of Global Securities.    A Global Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary for a series of the Securities to a nominee of
such Depositary, by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or to another nominee of such Depositary, or by such Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary for a series of the Securities or a nominee of such successor
Depositary. If at any time the Depositary for a series of the Securities notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such series or if at any time the Depositary for such series shall no longer be registered or
in good standing under the Exchange Act, or other applicable statute or regulation, and a successor Depositary for such series is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such condition,
as the case may be, the provisions of Section 2.11 shall no longer be applicable to the Securities of such series and the 
 

19 







 
Company will execute, and
subject to this Section 2.05, the Trustee will authenticate and deliver the Definitive Securities of such series, in authorized denominations, and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security of such series
in exchange for such Global Security; provided, that in no event shall the Reg S Temporary Global Security be exchanged by the Company for Definitive Securities prior to (y) the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period with respect to such
Security and (z) the receipt by the Trustee of any certificate identified by the Company and its counsel to be required pursuant to Rule 903 or Rule 904 under the Securities Act. In addition, the Company may at any time determine that the Securities
of any series shall no longer be represented by a Global Security and that the provisions of Section 2.11 shall no longer apply to the Securities of such series. In such event the Company will execute and subject to this Section 2.05, the Trustee,
upon receipt of an Officers’ Certificate evidencing such determination by the Company, will authenticate and deliver the Definitive Securities of such series, in authorized denominations, and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the
principal amount of the Global Security of such series in exchange for such Global Security. Upon the exchange of the Global Security of such series for such Definitive Securities of such series, in authorized denominations, the Global Security
shall be canceled by the Trustee. Such Definitive Securities of such series issued in exchange for the Global Security pursuant to this Section 2.05(c) shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary,
pursuant to instructions from its Participants or Indirect Participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver such Securities to the Depositary for delivery to the Persons in whose names such Securities are so
registered. 
 
Global Securities may also be
exchanged, in whole or in part, as provided in Sections 2.06 and 2.07 hereof. A Global Security may not be exchanged for another Security other than as provided in this Section 2.05(c); however, beneficial interests in a Global Security may be
transferred and exchanged as provided in Section 2.05(d) or (e) hereof. The provisions of this Section 2.05(c) are subject to Section 2.11 hereof. 
 
(d)    Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the Global Securities.    The

Securities of any series or portions thereof called for redemption, nor (iii) to register the transfer of or exchange a Security of any series between the applicable record date pursuant to Section 2.01(a)(5) and the next succeeding Interest Payment

Section 2.06    Temporary
Securities. 
 
Pending the preparation of
definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities (printed, lithographed or typewritten) of any authorized denomination. Such temporary Securities shall be
substantially in the form of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued, but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Securities, all as may be determined by the Company. Every temporary
Security of any series shall be executed by the Company and be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with like effect, as the definitive Securities of such series. Without unnecessary delay
the Company will execute and will furnish definitive Securities of such series and thereupon any or all temporary Securities of such series may be surrendered in exchange therefor (without charge to the holders), at the office or agency of the
Company maintained pursuant to Section 4.02 for the purpose of exchanges of Securities of such series, and the Trustee shall authenticate and such office or agency shall deliver in exchange for such temporary Securities an equal aggregate principal
amount of definitive Securities of such series, unless the Company advises the Trustee to the effect that definitive Securities need not be executed and furnished until further notice from the Company. Until so exchanged, temporary Securities of any
series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series authenticated and delivered hereunder. 
 
Section 2.07    Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Securities. 
 
In case any temporary or definitive Security shall become
mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company (subject to the next succeeding sentence) shall execute, and upon the Company’s request the Trustee (subject to the next succeeding sentence) shall authenticate and deliver, a new Security
of the same series, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding in exchange and substitution for the mutilated Security, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Security so destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case the applicant for a
substituted Security shall furnish to the Company and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Company
and the Trustee evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of the applicant’s Security and of the ownership thereof. The Trustee may authenticate any such substituted Security and deliver the same upon the written request
or authorization of any Officer. Upon the issuance of any substituted Security, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses
(including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. In case any Security that has matured or is about to mature shall become 
 

28 







 
mutilated or be destroyed,
lost or stolen, the Company may, instead of issuing a substitute Security, pay or authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Security) if the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the Company
and the Trustee such security or indemnity as they may require to save them harmless, and, in case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence to the satisfaction of the Company and the Trustee of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security and of
the ownership thereof. 
 
Every replacement
Security issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.07 shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Company whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be found at any time, or be enforceable by
anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of the same series duly issued hereunder. All Securities shall be held and owned upon the express condition that the
foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities, and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) any and all other rights or remedies, notwithstanding any law or statute
existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender. 
 
Section 2.08    Cancellation. 
 
All Securities surrendered for the purpose of payment, redemption, exchange or registration of transfer shall, if surrendered to the
Company or any paying agent, be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, or, if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be cancelled by it, and no Securities shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly required or permitted by any of the
provisions of this Indenture. On written request of the Company at the time of such surrender, the Trustee shall deliver to the Company canceled Securities held by the Trustee. In the absence of such request the Trustee may dispose of canceled
Securities in accordance with its standard procedures and deliver a certificate of disposition to the Company. If the Company shall otherwise acquire any of the Securities, however, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction
of the indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 
 
Section 2.09    Benefits of Indenture. 
 
Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities, express or implied, shall give or be construed to give to any
Person, other than the parties hereto and the holders of the Securities, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Indenture, or under any covenant, condition or provision herein contained; all such covenants,
conditions and provisions being for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and of the holders of the Securities. 
 
Section 2.10    Authenticating Agent. 
 
So long as any of the Securities of any series remain Outstanding there may be an Authenticating Agent for any or all such series of
Securities which the Trustee shall have the right to appoint. Said Authenticating Agent shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series, including Securities issued upon exchange, transfer or partial
redemption thereof, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this 
 

29 







 
Indenture and shall be valid
and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. All references in this Indenture to the authentication of Securities by the Trustee shall be deemed to include authentication by an Authenticating Agent for such series.
Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall be a corporation that has a combined capital and surplus, as most recently reported or determined by it, sufficient under the laws of any jurisdiction under which it is organized
or in which it is doing business to conduct a trust business, and that is otherwise authorized under such laws to conduct such business and is subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authorities. If at any time any Authenticating
Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with these provisions, it shall resign immediately. Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time
(and upon request by the Company shall) terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon resignation, termination or cessation of eligibility of any
Authenticating Agent, the Trustee may appoint an eligible successor Authenticating Agent acceptable to the Company. Any successor Authenticating Agent, upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder, shall become vested with all the rights, powers and
duties of its predecessor hereunder as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent pursuant hereto. 
 
Section 2.11    Global Securities. 
 
(a)    General.    If the Company shall establish pursuant to Section 2.01 that the

respectively, in effect at the relevant time shall be applicable to transfers of beneficial interests in the Reg S Global Securities of such series that are held by Participants through Euroclear or Clearstream. 
 
Section 2.12    CUSIP Numbers. 
 
The Company in issuing the Securities of a series 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 Securityholders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as
to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers 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 of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers.

Except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.01 for Securities of any series, payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on, Securities of such series denominated in any

it has selected to constitute the funds necessary to meet the Company’s obligations on such payment date and of the amount of such Currency to be paid. Such amount shall be determined as provided in the Securities of such series, in a Board
Resolution or in one or more indentures supplemental hereto. The payment with respect to such payment date shall be deposited with the Trustee by the Company solely in the Currency so selected.

Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary in this
Indenture, the Company may make any payment of monies required to be deposited with the Trustee on account of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Securities (whether pursuant to optional or mandatory redemption payments, interest
payments or otherwise) by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account designated by the Trustee on or before the date such moneys are to be paid to the Holders of the Securities in accordance with the terms hereof. 
 
Section 2.15    Designated Currency. 
 
The Company may provide pursuant to Section 2.01 for
Securities of any series that (a) the obligation, if any, of the Company to pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on, the Securities of any series in a Foreign Currency or Dollars (the “Designated Currency”) as may
be specified pursuant to Section 2.01(a)(12) is of the essence and agree that, to the fullest extent possible under applicable law, judgments in respect of Securities of such series shall be given in the Designated Currency; (b) the obligation of
the Company to make payments in the Designated Currency of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on, such Securities shall, notwithstanding any payment in any other Currency (whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise), be discharged
only to the extent of the amount in the Designated Currency that the Securityholder receiving such payment may, in accordance with normal banking procedures, purchase with the sum paid in such other Currency (after any premium and cost of exchange)
on 
 

31 







 
the business day in the
country of issue of the Designated Currency or in the international banking community (in the case of a composite currency) immediately following the day on which such Securityholder receives such payment; (c) if the amount in the Designated
Currency that may be so purchased for any reason falls short of the amount originally due, the Company shall pay such additional amounts as may be necessary to compensate for such shortfall; and (d) any obligation of the Company not discharged by
such payment shall be due as a separate and independent obligation and, until discharged as provided herein, shall continue in full force and effect. 
 
ARTICLE III. 
 
REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES AND SINKING FUND PROVISIONS 
 
Section 3.01    Redemption. 
 
The Company may redeem the Securities of any series issued hereunder on and after the dates and in accordance
with the terms established for such series pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof. 
 
Section 3.02    Notice of Redemption. 
 
(a)    If the Company desires to exercise such right to redeem all or, as the case may be, a portion of the Securities of any series, the Company shall, or shall cause the Trustee
to, give notice of such redemption to holders of the Securities of such series to be redeemed by mailing, first class postage prepaid, a notice of such redemption not less than 30 days and not more than 90 days before the date fixed for redemption
of that series to such holders at their last addresses as they shall appear upon the Security Register (unless a shorter period is specified in the Securities to be redeemed). Any notice that is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be
conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the registered holder receives the notice. In any case, failure duly to give such notice to the holder of any Security of any series designated for redemption in whole or in part, or any
defect in the notice, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Securities of such series or any other series. In the case of any redemption of Securities prior to the expiration of any restriction on such
redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate evidencing compliance with any such restriction. 
 
Each such notice of redemption shall specify the date fixed
for redemption and the redemption price at which Securities of that series are to be redeemed, and shall state that payment of the redemption price of such Securities to be redeemed will be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for
such purpose, or, if none, at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, upon presentation and surrender of such Securities, that interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption will be paid as specified in said notice, that from and after said
date interest will cease to accrue, that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case. If less than all the Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the notice to the holders of Securities of that series to be redeemed in whole or in
part shall specify the particular Securities to be so redeemed. In case any Security is to be redeemed in part only, the notice that relates to such Security shall 
 

32 







 
state the portion of the
principal amount thereof to be redeemed, and shall state that on and after the redemption date, upon surrender of such Security, a new Security or Securities of such series in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued.

 
(b)    If less than all the
Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the Company shall give the Trustee at least 45 days’ notice in advance of the date fixed for redemption as to the aggregate principal amount of Securities of the series to be redeemed, and thereupon
the Trustee shall select from Securities of such series Outstanding not previously called for redemption, in accordance with a method that it shall deem appropriate and fair (in such manner as complies with applicable legal and stock exchange
requirements, if any) and that may provide for the selection of a portion or portions (equal to One Thousand U.S. Dollars ($1,000) or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal amount of such Securities of such series of a denomination larger
than $1,000, the Securities of such series to be redeemed and shall thereafter promptly notify the Company in writing of the numbers of the Securities of such series to be redeemed, in whole or in part. 
 
The Company may, if and whenever it shall so elect, by
delivery of instructions signed on its behalf by any of its Officers, instruct the Trustee or any paying agent to call all or any part of the Securities of a particular series for redemption and to give notice of redemption in the manner set forth
in this Section 3.02, such notice to be in the name of the Company or its own name, as the Trustee or such paying agent may deem advisable. In any case in which notice of redemption is to be given by the Trustee or any such paying agent, the Company
shall deliver or cause to be delivered to, or permit to remain with, the Trustee or such paying agent, as the case may be, such Security Register, transfer books or other records, or suitable copies or extracts therefrom, sufficient to enable the
Trustee or such paying agent to give any notice by mail that may be required under the provisions of this Section 3.02. 
 
Section 3.03    Payment Upon Redemption. 
 
(a)    If the giving of notice of redemption shall have been completed as above provided,
the Securities or portions of Securities of the series to be redeemed specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the date and at the place stated in such notice at the applicable redemption price, together with interest accrued to the
date fixed for redemption, in each case as established pursuant to Section 2.01; interest on such Securities or portions of Securities shall cease to accrue on and after the date fixed for redemption, unless the Company shall default in the payment
of such redemption price and accrued interest with respect to any such Security or portion thereof. On presentation and surrender of such Securities on or after the date fixed for redemption at the place of payment specified in the notice, said
Securities shall be paid and redeemed at the applicable redemption price for such series, together with interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption (but if the date fixed for redemption is an Interest Payment Date, the interest
installment payable on such date shall be payable to the registered holder at the close of business on the applicable record date pursuant to Section 2.01). 
 
(b)    Upon presentation of any Security of such series that is to be redeemed in part only, the Company shall execute
and the Trustee shall authenticate, and the office or agency where the Security is presented shall deliver to the holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Security of the same series and tenor of authorized denominations in principal

 

33 







 
amount equal to the unredeemed
portion of the Security so presented; except that if a Global Security is so surrendered, the Company shall execute, and, upon receipt of an Officers’ Certificate requesting authentication and delivery, the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver to the Depositary for such Global Security, without service charge, a new Global Security of like tenor in a denomination equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Global Security so surrendered.

 
Section 3.04    Sinking Fund.

 
The provisions of Sections 3.04, 3.05 and 3.06
shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of a series, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.01 for Securities of such series. 
 
The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of Securities of any series is
herein referred to as a “mandatory sinking fund payment,” and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment.” If
provided for by the terms of Securities of any series, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 3.05. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities of any series as
provided for by the terms of Securities of such series. 
 
Section
3.05    Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities. 
 
The Company (i) may deliver Outstanding Securities of a series (other than any Securities previously called for redemption) and (ii) may apply as a credit Securities of a series that 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, in each case in satisfaction of all or any part of any
sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities of such series required to be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities, provided that such Securities have not been previously so credited. Such Securities shall be received and credited for
such purpose by the Trustee at the redemption price specified in such Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly. 
 
Section 3.06    Redemption of Securities for Sinking
Fund. 
 
Not less than 45 days prior to each
sinking fund payment date for any series of Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for that series pursuant to the terms of the series, the
portion thereof, if any, that is to be satisfied by payment of cash in the Currency in which the Securities of such series are denominated (except as provided pursuant to Section 2.01), the portion thereof, if any, that is to be satisfied by
delivering and crediting Securities of that series pursuant to Section 3.05 and the basis for such credit and will, together with such Officers’ Certificate, deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so delivered. Not less than 30 days before
each such sinking fund payment date the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 3.02 and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the
expense of the Company in the manner 
 

34 







 
provided in Section 3.02. Such
notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Section 3.03. 
 
ARTICLE IV.  
 
CERTAIN COVENANTS 
 
Section 4.01    Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest.

interest on the Securities of a series at the time and place and in the manner provided herein and established with respect to such Securities. 
 
The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate specified therefore in the Securities and it shall pay interest on overdue
installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful. 
 
Section 4.02    Maintenance of Office or Agency. 
 
So long as any series of the Securities remain Outstanding, the Company will maintain for any series of Securities an office or agency where Securities of such series may be presented or surrendered
for payment, where Securities of such series may be surrendered for transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of such series and this Indenture may be given or served, such designation to
continue with respect to each office or agency until the Company shall, by written notice signed by any Officer and delivered to the trustee, designate some other office or agency for such purposes or any of them. 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 Trustee as its agent to receive all presentations, surrenders, notices and demands. 
 
Section 4.03    Paying Agents. 
 
(a)    The Company may appoint one or more paying agents for all or any series of the Securities, other than the
Trustee. If the Company fails to appoint or maintain another entity as paying agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as paying agent. 
 
(b)    The Company shall require each paying agent other than the Trustee to agree in
writing that the paying agent will hold in trust for the benefit of Securityholders or the Trustee all money held by the paying agent for the payment of principal or interest on the Securities, and will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any
default by the Company in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a paying agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may require a paying agent to pay all money held by it to
the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the paying agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary) shall have no further liability for the money. If the Company 
 

35 







 
or a Subsidiary acts as paying
agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Securityholders all money held by it as paying agent. 
 
(c)    Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, (i) the agreement to hold sums in trust as provided
in this Section 4.03 is subject to the provisions of Section 11.06, and (ii) the Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge or defeasance of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or direct any paying
agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such paying agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same terms and conditions as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such paying agent; and, upon
such payment by any paying agent to the Trustee, such paying agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money. 
 
Section 4.04    Compliance with Laws, Taxes. 
 
The Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, comply with all statutes, laws, ordinances,
or government rules and regulations to which it is subject, noncompliance with which would materially adversely affect the business, earnings, properties, assets or financial condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. The
Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, pay prior to delinquency all taxes, assessments, and governmental levies except as contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings.

Subject to Article Ten hereof, the Company will do or cause to
be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence in accordance with its organizational documents.

knowledge of the signer thereof the Company is in default in the performance and observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture, and if the Company shall be in default, specifying all such defaults and the nature and
status thereof of which they may have knowledge. 
 
The Company, so long as any Securities are Outstanding, shall promptly deliver to the Trustee, forthwith upon any Officer becoming 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 specifying such Event of Default or Default and the action which the Company proposes to make with respect thereto. 
 
Section 4.07    Waiver of Certain Covenants.

 
The Company may omit in any particular instance
to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in Sections 4.04 and 4.05 with respect to the Securities of any series if before or after the time for such compliance the Securityholders of at least a majority in principal 
 

36 







 
amount of all Outstanding
Securities of such series, by act of such Securityholders, 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. 
 
Section 4.08    Appointment to Fill Vacancy in Office
of Trustee. 
 
The Company, whenever necessary
to avoid or to fill a vacancy in the office of Trustee, will appoint, in the manner provided in Section 7.10, a Trustee, so that there shall be at all times a Trustee hereunder.

ARTICLE VI.  
 
REMEDIES OF THE TRUSTEE AND SECURITYHOLDERS ON EVENT OF DEFAULT 
 
Section 6.01    Events of Default. 
 
(a)    Whenever used herein with respect to Securities of a particular series, “Event of Default” means any one or more of the following events that has occurred
and is continuing: 
 
(1)    the Company defaults in the payment of any installment of interest upon any of the Securities of that series, as and when the same shall become due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period
of 90 days; provided, however, that a valid extension of an interest payment period by the Company in accordance with the terms of any indenture supplemental hereto shall not constitute a default in the payment of interest for this purpose;

 
(2)    the Company defaults
in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any of the Securities of that series as and when the same shall become due and payable whether at maturity, upon redemption, by declaration or otherwise, or in any payment required by any
sinking or analogous fund established with respect to that series; provided, however, that a valid extension of the maturity of such Securities in accordance with the terms of any indenture supplemental hereto shall not constitute a default in the
payment of principal or premium, if any; 
 
(3)    the Company fails to observe or perform any other of its covenants or agreements with respect to that series contained in this Indenture or otherwise established with respect to that series of Securities
pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof (other than a covenant or agreement that has been expressly included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of one or more series of Securities other than such series) for a period of 90 days after the date on which
written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder, shall have been given to the Company by the Trustee, by registered or certified mail, or to the
Company and the Trustee by the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Securities of that series at the time Outstanding; 
 
(4)    the Company pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law (i) commences a voluntary case, (ii)
consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case, (iii) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property or (iv) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its
creditors; or 
 
(5)    a court
of competent jurisdiction enters an order under any Bankruptcy Law that (i) is for relief against the Company in an involuntary case, (ii) appoints a Custodian of the Company for all or substantially all of the Company’s properties, or (iii)
orders the liquidation of the Company, and, in either of the above cases, the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 90 days. 
 

39 







 
(b)    In each and every such case, unless the principal of all the Securities of that series shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate
principal amount of the Securities of that series then Outstanding hereunder, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by such Securityholders), may declare the unpaid principal of all the Securities of that series to be due
and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable, notwithstanding anything contained in this Indenture or in the Securities of that series or established with respect to that
series pursuant to Section 2.01 to the contrary. 
 
(c)    At any time after the principal of the Securities of that series shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the moneys due shall have been obtained or
entered as hereinafter provided, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of that series then Outstanding hereunder, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its
consequences if: (i) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest upon all the Securities of that series and the principal of (and premium, if any) on any and all Securities of that
series that shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest upon such principal (and premium, if any) and, to the extent that such payment is enforceable under applicable law, upon overdue installments of interest, at the rate
per annum expressed in the Securities of that series to the date of such payment or deposit), and (ii) any and all Events of Default under the Indenture with respect to such series, other than the nonpayment of principal on Securities of that series
that shall not have become due by their terms, shall have been remedied or waived as provided in Section 6.06. 
 
No such rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

 
(d)    In case the Trustee
shall have proceeded to enforce any right with respect to Securities of that series under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of such rescission or annulment or for any other reason or shall have
been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the Company and the Trustee shall be restored respectively to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Company and the Trustee shall
continue as though no such proceedings had been taken. 
 
Section
6.02    Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. 
 
(a)    The Company covenants that (i) in case it shall default in the payment of any installment of interest on any of
the Securities of a series, or any payment required by any sinking or analogous fund established with respect to that series as and when the same shall have become due and payable, and such default shall have continued for a period of 90 Business
Days, or (ii) in case it shall default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any of the Securities of a series when the same shall have become due and payable, whether upon maturity of the Securities of a series or upon
redemption or upon declaration or otherwise, then, upon demand of the Trustee, the Company will pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the holders of the Securities of that series, the whole amount that then shall have been become due and payable on
all such Securities for principal (and premium, if any) or interest, or both, as the case 
 

40 







 
may be, with interest upon the
overdue principal (and premium, if any) and (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) upon overdue installments of interest at the rate per annum expressed in the Securities of that series; and, in addition
thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, and the amount payable to the Trustee under Section 7.06. 
 
(b)    If the Company shall fail to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as
trustee of an express trust, shall be entitled and empowered to institute any action or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute any such action or proceeding to judgment or final decree,
and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against the Company and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company, wherever situated. 
 
(c)    In case of any receivership,
insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, readjustment, arrangement, composition or judicial proceedings affected the Company, or its creditors or property, the Trustee shall have power to intervene in such proceedings and take any action
therein that may be permitted by the court and shall (except as may be otherwise provided by law) be entitled to file such proofs of claim and other papers and documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and
of the holders of Securities of such series allowed for the entire amount due and payable by the Company under the Indenture at the date of institution of such proceedings and for any additional amount that may become due and payable by the Company
after such date, and to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claim, and to distribute the same in accordance with Section 6.03 hereof; and any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or
reorganization is hereby authorized by each of the holders of Securities of such series to make such payments to the Trustee, and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to such Securityholders, to pay to
the Trustee any amount due it under Section 7.06. 
 
(d)    All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the terms established with respect to Securities of that series, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of
any of such Securities, or the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and any such suit or proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of
judgment shall, after provision for payment to the Trustee of any amounts due under Section 7.06, be for the ratable benefit of the holders of the Securities of such series. 
 
In case of an Event of Default hereunder, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce
the rights vested in it by this Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of such rights, either at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific
enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in the Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Indenture, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law. 
 

41 







 
Nothing
contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Securityholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities of that series or the
rights of any holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Securityholder in any such proceeding. 
 
Section 6.03    Application of Moneys Collected. 
 
Any moneys collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article VI with respect to a particular series of
Securities shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such moneys on account of principal (or premium, if any) or interest, upon presentation of the Securities of that
series, and notation thereon the payment, if only partially paid, and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon

law upon or under or with respect to this Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless (i) such holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of an Event of Default and of
the continuance thereof with respect to the Securities of such series specifying such Event of Default, as hereinbefore provided; (ii) the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series then Outstanding

the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby; (iv) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have failed to institute any such action, suit or proceeding; and (v) during
such 60 day period, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of that series do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request. 
 
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any other provisions of this Indenture, the right
of any holder of any Security to receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such Security, as therein provided, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Security (or in the case of redemption, on the

42 







 
redemption date, shall not be
impaired or affected without the consent of such holder and by accepting a Security hereunder it is expressly understood, intended and covenanted by the taker and holder of every Security of such series with every other such taker and holder and the

all holders of Securities of such series. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section 6.04, each and every Securityholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

 
Section 6.05    Rights and Remedies
Cumulative; Delay or Omission not Waiver. 
 
(a)    Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.07, all powers and remedies given by this Article VI to the Trustee or to the Securityholders shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not
exclusive of any other powers and remedies available to the Trustee or the holders of the Securities, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the covenants and agreements contained in this Indenture or
otherwise established with respect to such Securities. 
 
(b)    No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any holder of any of the Securities to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event of Default occurring and continuing as aforesaid shall impair any such
right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or on acquiescence therein; and, subject to the provisions of Section 6.04, every power and remedy given by this Article VI or by law to the Trustee or the Securityholders may
be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Securityholders. 
 
Section 6.06    Control by Securityholders. 
 
The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any series at the time
Outstanding, determined in accordance with Section 8.04, shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with
respect to such series; provided, however, that such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture or be unduly prejudicial to the rights of holders of Securities of any other series at the time Outstanding
determined in accordance with Section 8.04. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of
the Trustee, determine that the proceeding so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability. The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any series at the time Outstanding affected thereby, determined in
accordance with Section 8.04, may on behalf of the holders of all of the Securities of such series waive any past default in the performance of any of the covenants contained herein or established pursuant to Section 2.01 with respect to such series
and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any of the Securities of that series as and when the same shall become due by the terms of 
 

43 







 
such Securities otherwise than
by acceleration (unless such default has been cured and a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest and principal and any premium has been deposited with the Trustee (in accordance with Section 6.01(c)). Upon any such waiver, the
default covered thereby shall be deemed to be cured for all purposes of this Indenture and the Company, the Trustee and the holders of the Securities of such series shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but
no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 
Section 6.07      Undertaking to Pay Costs. 
 
All parties to this Indenture agree, and each holder of any Securities by such holder’s acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have
agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant
in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees 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 6.07 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Securityholder, or group of
Securityholders, holding more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, or to any suit instituted by any Securityholder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest
on any Security of such series, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Security or established pursuant to this Indenture. 
 
Section 6.08    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, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the
Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. 
 
ARTICLE VII. 
 
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE 
 
Section 7.01    Certain Duties and Responsibilities of Trustee. 
 
(a)    In case an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of a series has occurred (that has not been cured or
waived), the Trustee shall exercise with respect to Securities of that series such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the
circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs. 
 

44 







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

 
(1)      prior to
the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of a series and after the curing or waiving of all such Events of Default with respect to that series that may have occurred: 
 
(i)    the duties and
obligations of the Trustee shall with respect to the Securities of such series be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to the Securities of such series except for the
performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and 
 
(ii)    in the absence of
bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may with respect to the Securities of such series conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions
furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions that by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a
duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical computations or other facts stated therein); 
 
(2)    the Trustee shall not be liable for
any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; 
 
(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 not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities of any series at the time Outstanding relating to the time,
method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee under this Indenture with respect to the Securities of that series; and 
 
(4)    none of the provisions contained in
this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for
believing that the repayment of such funds or liability is not reasonably assured to it under the terms of this Indenture or adequate indemnity against such risk is not reasonably assured to it. 
 
Section 7.02    Certain Rights of Trustee.

 
Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.01:

 

45 







 
(a)      the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,
consent, order, approval, bond, security or other paper or document (whether in its original or facsimile form) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties; 
 
(b)    any request, direction, order or
demand of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution or an instrument signed in the name of the Company by an Officer (unless other evidence in respect thereof is specifically prescribed herein);

with counsel of its own selection and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon;

 
(d)    the Trustee shall be
under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the Securityholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Securityholders shall have offered

Outstanding Securities of the particular series affected thereby (determined as provided in Section 8.04); provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by
it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such costs, expenses
or liabilities as a condition to so proceeding. The reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by the Company or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be repaid by the Company upon demand; 
 
(g)    the Trustee shall not be deemed to
have notice of any Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the

Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or

a trustee of an express trust), as the Company and the Trustee may from time to time agree in writing, for all services rendered by it in the execution of the trusts hereby created and in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties
hereunder of the Trustee, and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Company will pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses and disbursements incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the
provisions of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all Persons not regularly in its employ) except any such expense or disbursement as may arise from its own negligence or bad
faith. The Company shall also fully indemnify the Trustee (and its officers, agents, directors and employees) for, and shall also hold it harmless against, any and all loss, liability, claim, damage or expense incurred without negligence or bad

resignation by mail, first class postage prepaid, to the 
 

48 







 
Securityholders of such
series, as their names and addresses appear upon the Security Register. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor trustee with respect to Securities of such series. If no successor trustee shall have
been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns, the retiring Trustee, at the expense of the Company, or the Company may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
successor trustee with respect to Securities of such series, or any Securityholder of that series who has been a bona fide holder of a Security or Securities for at least six months may on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated,
petition any such court for the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee.

the Trustee with respect to all or any series of Securities and appoint a successor trustee, or, unless the Trustee’s duty to resign is stayed as provided herein, any Securityholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Security or Securities
for at least six months may, on behalf of that holder and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon after such
notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee: 
 
(1)    the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of Section 7.08 after written request therefor by the
Company or by any Securityholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Security or Securities for at least six months; or 
 
(2)    the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.09 and shall fail to
resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Securityholder; or 
 
(3)    the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or commence a voluntary bankruptcy proceeding, or a receiver of the Trustee or of
its property shall be appointed or consented to, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation. 
 
(c)    The holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any series at the time Outstanding may at any time remove the Trustee with respect to such series by so notifying the Trustee and the Company and may appoint a successor Trustee for such series with
the consent of the Company. 
 
(d)    Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee with respect to the Securities of a series pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall become effective upon
acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 7.11. 
 
(e)    Any successor trustee appointed pursuant to this Section 7.10 may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more series or all of such series, and at any time
there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any particular series.

Section
7.11    Acceptance of Appointment By Successor. 
 
(a)    In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor trustee with respect to all Securities, every such successor trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver
to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance,
shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company or the successor trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument
transferring to such successor trustee all the rights, powers, and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder. 
 
(b)    In case of the appointment
hereunder of a successor trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an
indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor trustee shall accept such appointment and which (i) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor trustee all the
rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor trustee relates, (ii) shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable
to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and (iii)
shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental
indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust, that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee and that no
Trustee shall be responsible for any act or failure to act on the part of any other Trustee hereunder; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to
the extent provided therein, such retiring Trustee shall with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor trustee relates have no further responsibility for the exercise of rights and powers or for
the performance of the duties and obligations vested in the Trustee under this Indenture, and each such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the
retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor trustee relates; but, on request of the Company or any successor trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and
deliver to such successor trustee, to the extent contemplated by such supplemental indenture, the property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such
successor trustee relates. 
 
(c)    Upon request of any such successor trustee, the Company may 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 7.11, as the case may be. 
 

50 







 
(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 VII. 
 
(e)    Upon acceptance of appointment by a
successor trustee as provided in this Section 7.11, the successor trustee shall cause a notice of its succession to be transmitted to Securityholders. 
 
Section 7.12    Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. 
 
Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust
business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided that such corporation shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 7.08 and eligible under the provisions of Section 7.09, without the execution or filing of
any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger,
conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities. 
 
Section 7.13    Preferential Collection of Claims
Against the Company. 
 
The Trustee shall
comply with Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act, excluding any creditor relationship described in Section 311(b) of the Trust Indenture Act. A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture
Act to the extent included therein. 
 
ARTICLE VIII.

 
CONCERNING THE SECURITYHOLDERS 
 
Section 8.01    Evidence of Action by
Securityholders. 
 
Whenever in this Indenture
it is provided that the holders of a majority or specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of a particular series may take any action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any notice, consent or
waiver or the taking of any other action), the fact that at the time of taking any such action the holders of such majority or specified percentage of that series have joined therein may be evidenced by any instrument or any number of instruments of
similar tenor executed by such holders of Securities of that series in Person or by agent or proxy appointed in writing. 
 
If the Company shall solicit from the Securityholders of any series any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or other action, the Company may, at its option, as evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate, fix in advance a record date for such series for the determination of Securityholders entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent, waiver or other action, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, 
 

51 







 
waiver or other action may be
given before or after the record date, but only the Securityholders of record at the close of business on the record date shall be deemed to be Securityholders for the purposes of determining whether Securityholders of the requisite proportion of
Outstanding Securities of that series have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, and for that purpose the Outstanding Securities of that series shall be computed
as of the record date; provided, however, that no such authorization, agreement or consent by such Securityholders on the record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later
than six months after the record date. 
 
Section
8.02    Proof of Execution by Securityholders. 
 
Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, proof of the execution of any instrument by a Securityholder (such proof will not require notarization) or his agent or proxy and proof of the holding by any Person of any of the
Securities shall be sufficient if made in the following manner: 
 
(a)    The fact and date of the execution by any such Person of any instrument may be proved in any reasonable manner acceptable to the Trustee. 
 
(b)    The ownership of Securities shall be proved by the Security Register of such
Securities or by a certificate of the Security Registrar thereof. 
 
(c)    The Trustee may require such additional proof of any matter referred to in this Section as it shall deem necessary. 
 
Section 8.03    Who May be Deemed Owners. 
 
Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of
any Security, the Company, the Trustee, any paying agent and any Security Registrar may deem and treat the Person in whose name such Security shall be registered upon the books of the Company as the absolute owner of such Security (whether or not
such Security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notice of ownership or writing thereon made by anyone other than the Security Registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of, premium, if any, and (subject
to Section 2.03) interest on such Security and for all other purposes; and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any paying agent nor any Security Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. 
 
None of the Company, the Trustee, any paying agent or the
Security Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in a Global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records
relating to such beneficial ownership interests. 
 
Section
8.04    Certain Securities Owned by Company Disregarded. 
 
In determining whether the holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Securities of a particular series have concurred in any direction, consent of waiver under this Indenture, the
Securities of that series that are owned by the Company or any other obligor on 
 

52 







 
the Securities of that series
or by an Affiliate shall be disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding for the purpose of any such determination, except that for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, consent or
waiver, only Securities of such series that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. The Securities so owned that have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as Outstanding for the purposes of this
Section, if the pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to such Securities and that the pledgee is not an Affiliate. In case of a dispute as to such right, any decision by the
Trustee taken upon the advice of counsel shall be full protection to the Trustee. 
 
Section 8.05    Actions Binding on Future Securityholders. 
 
At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section 8.01, of the taking of any action by the
holders of the majority or percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of a particular series specified in this Indenture in connection with such action, any holder of a Security of that series that is shown by the evidence to be
included in the Securities the holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing written notice with the Trustee, and upon proof of holding as provided in Section 8.02, revoke such action so far as concerns such Security. Except as
aforesaid any such action taken by the holder of any Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future holders and owners of such Security, and of any Security issued in exchange therefor, on registration of transfer
thereof or in place thereof, irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Security. Any action taken by the holders of the majority or percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of a particular
series specified in this Indenture in connection with such action shall be conclusively binding upon the Company, the Trustee and the holders of all the Securities of that series. 
 
ARTICLE IX. 
 
SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES 
 
Section 9.01    Supplemental Indentures Without the Consent of Securityholders. 
 
In addition to any supplemental indenture otherwise authorized
by this Indenture, the Company and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto (which shall conform to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect), without the consent
of the Securityholders, for one or more of the following purposes: 
 
(a)    to cure any ambiguity, defect, or inconsistency herein or in the Securities of any series, including making such changes as are required for this Indenture to comply with the Trust Indenture Act;

 
(b)    to comply with
Article Ten; 
 
(c)    to
provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated Securities; 
 

53 







 
(d)    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; 
 
(e)    to add any additional Events of Default (and if such Events of Default are to be applicable to less than all
series, stating that such Events of Default are expressly being included solely to be applicable to such series); 
 
(f)    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 of any series created prior to the execution of such supplemental indenture which is entitled to the benefit of such provision and as to which such supplemental indenture would apply;

 
(g)    to secure the
Securities or to provide that any of the Company’s obligations under any series of the Securities or this Indenture shall be guaranteed and the terms and conditions for the release or substitution of such security or guarantee; 
 
(h)    to make any change that does not
adversely affect the rights of any Securityholder in any material respect; 
 
(i)    to provide for the issuance of and establish the form and terms and conditions of the Securities of any series as provided in Section 2.01, to establish the form of any
certifications required to be furnished pursuant to the terms of this Indenture or any series of Securities, or to add to the rights of the holders of any series of Securities; or 
 
(j)    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 provision of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trust hereunder by more than one Trustee.

 
Upon the request of the Company, accompanied by
Board Resolutions authorizing the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 9.05 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of any such supplemental
indenture, and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any such supplemental indenture that affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or
immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. 
 
Any supplemental indenture authorized by the provisions of this Section 9.01 may be executed by the Company and the Trustee without the consent of the holders of any of the Securities at the time Outstanding, notwithstanding any of
the provisions of Section 9.02. 
 
Section
9.02    Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Securityholders. 
 
With the consent (evidenced as provided in Section 8.01) of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each series affected by such supplemental
indenture or indentures at the time Outstanding, the Company, when authorized by 
 

54 







 
Board Resolutions, and the
Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto (which shall conform to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect) for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in
any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner not covered by Section 9.01 the rights of the holders of the Securities of such series under this Indenture; provided,
however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the holders of each Security then Outstanding and affected thereby, (i) extend a fixed maturity of or any installment of principal of any Securities of any series or reduce
the principal amount thereof or reduce the amount of principal of any original issue discount security that would be due and payable upon declaration of acceleration of the maturity thereof; (ii) reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of
interest on any Security of any series; (iii) reduce the premium payable upon the redemption of any Security; (iv) make any Security payable in Currency other than that stated in the Security; (v) impair the right to institute suit for the
enforcement of any payment on or after the fixed maturity thereof (or in the case or redemption, on or after the redemption date); or (vi) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Securities, the holders of which are required to consent to any such
supplemental indenture or indentures. 
 
A
supplemental indenture which changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Indenture which has been expressly included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Securities, if any, 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, if any, of any other series. 
 
It shall not be necessary for the consent of Securityholders
of a series affected thereby under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. 
 
Section 9.03    Effect of Supplemental Indentures.

 
Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture
pursuant to the provisions of this Article IX or Section 10.01, this Indenture shall, with respect to such series, be and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith and the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations,
duties and immunities under this Indenture of the Trustee, the Company and the holders of Securities of the series affected thereby shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications and
amendments, and all the terms and conditions of any such supplemental indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes. 
 
Section 9.04    Securities Affected by Supplemental Indentures. 
 
Securities of any series affected by a supplemental indenture
and authenticated and delivered after the execution of such supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article or of Section 10.01, may bear a notation in form approved by the Company, provided such form meets the requirements of any
exchange upon which such series may be listed, as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Securities of the Company shall so determine, new Securities of that series so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Board of

 

55 







 
Directors of the Company, to
any modification of this Indenture contained in any such supplemental indenture may be prepared by the Company, authenticated by the Trustee and delivered in exchange for the Securities of that series then Outstanding. 
 
Section 9.05    Execution of Supplemental
Indentures. 
 
Upon the request of the Company,
accompanied by its Board Resolutions authorizing the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and, if applicable, upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of Securityholders required to consent thereto as aforesaid, the
Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of such supplemental indenture unless such supplemental indenture affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in
its discretion but shall not be obligated to enter into such supplemental indenture. The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, may receive an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any supplemental indenture executed pursuant
to this Article IX is authorized or permitted by, and conforms to, the terms of this Article IX and that it is proper for the Trustee under the provisions of this Article IX to join in the execution thereof; provided, however, that such Opinion of
Counsel need not be provided in connection with the execution of a supplemental indenture that establishes the terms of a series of Securities pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof. 
 
Promptly after the execution by the Company and the Trustee of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 9.05, the Trustee shall transmit by mail, first class postage prepaid, a notice, setting forth in general terms the substance of such supplemental indenture, to the Securityholders of all series affected thereby as their
names and addresses appear upon the Security Register. Any failure of the Trustee to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture. 
 
ARTICLE X.

Section 10.01    Consolidation, Merger and Sale of
Assets. 
 
The Company, without the consent of
any Securityholder, may consolidate with, or merge into, or sell, transfer, lease or convey its assets substantially as an entirety to any domestic corporation, provided that: 
 
(a)    the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than
the Company), or to which such sale, transfer, lease or conveyance shall have been made, is a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia; 
 
(b)    the corporation formed by or
surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Company), or to which such sale, lease, transfer or conveyance shall have been made, assumes by supplemental indenture in a form satisfactory to the Trustee all the obligations of the
Company under the Securities and this Indenture; and 
 

56 







 
(c)    immediately before and after giving effect to the transaction, no Event of Default and no event which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would become an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be
continuing. 
 
The Company shall deliver to the
Trustee prior to the consummation of the proposed transaction an Officers’ Certificate to the foregoing effect and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the proposed transaction and such supplemental indenture comply with this Indenture.

 
To the extent that a Board Resolution or
supplemental indenture pertaining to any series provides for different provisions relating to the subject matter of this Article X, the provisions in such Board Resolution or supplemental indenture shall govern for purposes of such series.

 
Section 10.02    Successor Corporation
Substituted. 
 
Upon any consolidation or
merger, or any sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or any assignment of its obligations under this Indenture or the Securities of any series in accordance with Section 10.01, the
successor corporation formed by such consolidation or into or with which the Company is merged or to which such sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition or assignment is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right
and power of, the Company under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor corporation has been named as the Company herein; provided, however, that the predecessor Company in the case of a sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition
or assignment shall not be released from the obligation to pay the principal of and interest on the Securities of any series. 
 
ARTICLE XI. 
 
SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE 
 
Section 11.01    Applicability of Article. 
 
If, pursuant to Section 2.01, provision is made for the defeasance of Securities of a series and if the
Securities of such series are denominated and payable only in Dollars (except as provided pursuant to Section 2.01), then the provisions of this Article XI relating to defeasance of Securities shall be applicable except as otherwise specified
pursuant to Section 2.01 for Securities of such series. Defeasance provisions, if any, for Securities denominated in a Foreign Currency may be specified pursuant to Section 2.01. 
 
Section 11.02    Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. 
 
If at any time: (a) the Company shall have delivered to the
Trustee for cancellation all Securities of a series theretofore authenticated (other than any Securities that shall have been destroyed, lost or stolen and that shall have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.07) and Securities for whose
payment money or Governmental Obligations have theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company (and thereupon repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 11.06); or (b) all such
Securities of a particular series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation shall have become due and payable or are by their terms to become due and payable within one year or are to be 
 

57 







 
called for redemption within
one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption, and the Company shall deposit or cause to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds the entire amount (in moneys or Governmental Obligations
sufficient or a combination thereof) in Dollars (except as otherwise provided pursuant to Section 2.01) sufficient to pay at maturity or upon redemption all Securities of such series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation,
including principal (and premium, if any) and interest due or to become due on such date of maturity or redemption date, as the case may be, and if in either case the Company shall also pay or cause to be paid all other sums payable hereunder with
respect to such series by the Company, then this Indenture shall cease to be of further effect with respect to such series except for the provisions of Sections 2.03, 2.05, 2.07, 4.01, 4.02, 4.03 and 7.10, that shall survive until the date of
maturity or redemption date, as the case may be, and Sections 7.06 and 11.06, that shall survive to such date and thereafter, and the Trustee, on demand of the Company and at the cost and expense of the Company shall execute proper instruments
acknowledging satisfaction of and discharging this Indenture with respect to such series. 
 
Section 11.03    Defeasance and Discharge of Obligations; Covenant Defeasance. 
 
(a)    If at any time all such Securities of a particular series not heretofore delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation or that have not become due and payable as described in Section 11.02 shall have been paid by the Company by depositing irrevocably with the Trustee as trust funds moneys or an amount of Governmental Obligations sufficient to pay at
maturity or upon redemption all such Securities of that series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, including principal (and premium, if any) and interest due or to become due to such date of maturity or date fixed for
redemption, as the case may be, and if the Company shall also pay or cause to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company with respect to such series, then after the date such moneys or Governmental Obligations, as the case may be, are
deposited with the Trustee the obligations of the Company under this Indenture with respect to such series shall cease to be of further effect except for the provisions of Sections 2.03, 2.05, 2.07, 4.01, 4.02, 4.03 and 7.10 hereof that shall
survive until such Securities shall mature and be paid. Thereafter, Sections 7.06 and 11.06 shall survive such satisfaction and discharge. 
 
(b)    In addition, the Company may, at its option and at any time, by written notice executed by an Officer delivered
to the Trustee, elect to have its obligations under Sections 4.04, 4.05, 5.03 and any covenant contained in Article X, and any other covenant contained in the Board Resolution or supplemental indenture relating to such series pursuant to Section
2.01, discharged with respect to all Outstanding Securities of a series, this Indenture and any indentures supplemental to this Indenture insofar as such Securities are concerned (hereinafter, “covenant defeasance”), such discharge
to be effective on the date the conditions set forth in clauses (i) through (vi) of this Section 11.03(b) are satisfied, and such Securities shall thereafter be deemed to be not “Outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver,
consent or declaration of Securityholders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be “Outstanding” for all other purposes under this Indenture. For this purpose, such covenant
defeasance means that, with respect to the Outstanding Securities of a series, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or
indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of reference in any such 
 

58 







 
covenant to any other
provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute an Event of Default under Section 6.01(a)(3) or otherwise, but except as specified in this Section 11.03(b), the remainder of the Company’s obligations
under the Securities of such series, this Indenture, and any indentures supplemental to this Indenture with respect to such series shall be unaffected thereby. 
 
The following shall be the conditions to the application of Section 11.03(b) to the Outstanding Securities of the applicable series:

 
(i)    the
Company irrevocably deposits in trust with the Trustee or, at the option of the Trustee, with a trustee satisfactory to the Trustee and the Company under the terms of an irrevocable trust agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee,
money or Governmental Obligations sufficient to pay principal and interest on the Outstanding Securities of such series to maturity or redemption, as the case may be, and to pay all other sums payable by it hereunder, provided that (A) the trustee
of the irrevocable trust shall have been irrevocably instructed to pay such money or the proceeds of such Governmental Obligations to the Trustee and (B) the Trustee shall have been irrevocably instructed to apply such money or the proceeds of such
Governmental Obligations to the payment of said principal and interest with respect to the Securities of such series; 
 
(ii)    the Company delivers to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that all conditions
precedent specified herein relating to defeasance or covenant defeasance, as the case may be, have been complied with, and an Opinion of Counsel to the same effect; 
 
(iii)    no Event of Default under clauses (1), (2), (4) or (5) of
Section 6.01(a) shall have occurred and be continuing, and no event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become such an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, on the date of such deposit; 
 
(iv)    the Company shall
have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel or a ruling received from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that the holders of the Securities of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a
result of the Company’s exercise of either option under this Section 11.03 and will be subject to Federal income tax in the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such election had not been
exercised; 
 
(v)    such covenant defeasance shall not cause the Trustee to have a conflicting interest for purposes of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to any Securities; and 
 
(vi)    notwithstanding
any other provisions of this Section 11.03, such covenant defeasance shall be effected in compliance with any additional or substitute terms, conditions or limitations which may be imposed on the Company pursuant to Section 2.01. 
 

59 







 
After such
irrevocable deposit made pursuant to this Section 11.03(b) and satisfaction of the other conditions set forth herein, the Trustee upon request shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of the Company’s obligations pursuant to this Section
11.03(b). 
 
Section 11.04    Deposited
Moneys to be Held in Trust. 
 
All moneys or
Governmental Obligations deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Sections 11.02 or 11.03 shall be held in trust and shall be available for payment as due, either directly or through any paying agent (including the Company acting as its own paying
agent), to the holders of the particular series of Securities for the payment or redemption of which such moneys or Governmental Obligations have been deposited with the Trustee. 
 
Section 11.05    Payment of Moneys Held by Paying Agents. 
 
In connection with the provisions of Section 11.02 or 11.03,
all moneys or Governmental Obligations then held by any paying agent under the provisions of this Indenture shall, upon demand of the Company, be paid to the Trustee and thereupon such paying agent shall be released from all further liability with
respect to such moneys or Governmental Obligations. 
 
Section
11.06    Repayment to Company. 
 
Any moneys or Governmental Obligations deposited with any paying agent or the Trustee, or then held by the Company, in trust for payment of principal of or premium or interest on the Securities of a particular series that are not
applied but remain unclaimed by the holders of such Securities for at least two years after the date upon which the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on such Securities shall have respectively become due and payable, shall be repaid to
the Company on the last Business Day of each fiscal year of the Company, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and thereafter, the paying agent and the Trustee shall be released from all further liability with respect
to such moneys or Governmental Obligations, and the holder of any of the Securities entitled to receive such payment shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for the payment thereof. Anything in this Article XI to
the contrary notwithstanding, subject to Section 7.06, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon request by the Company any money or Governmental Obligations (or other property and any proceeds therefrom) held by it as
provided in Sections 11.02 or 11.03 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 the case may be, in accordance with this Article XI. On the last business day of each fiscal year of the Company, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from
such trust, and thereafter. 
 
Section
11.07    Reinstatement. 
 
If the Trustee or paying agent is unable to apply any money or Governmental Obligations in accordance with Section 11.02 or 11.03 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental
authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s obligations under this Indenture, any indentures supplemental to the Indenture with respect to the applicable series of Securities and the 
 

60 







 
Securities of such series
shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 11.02 or 11.03, as the case may be, until such time as the Trustee or paying agent is permitted to apply all such money or Governmental Obligations in accordance
with Section 11.02 or 11.03, as the case may be; provided, however, that if the Company has made any payment of interest on or principal of any Securities of such series following the reinstatement of its obligations as aforesaid, the Company shall
be subrogated to the rights of the holders of such Securities of such series to receive such payment from the money or Governmental Obligations held by the Trustee or paying agent.

of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly understood that this Indenture and the obligations issued hereunder are solely corporate obligations, and that no such personal liability whatever shall
