Indenture, or such Debt Securities which have been paid, pursuant to this Indenture, unless proof satisfactory to the Trustee is presented
that any such Debt Securities are held by Persons in whose hands any of such Debt Securities are a legal, valid and binding obligation
of the Company, and


 


(iv)          such Debt Securities the indebtedness in respect to which has been discharged in accordance with Section 13.01.


 


provided, however, that in determining whether the Holders
of the requisite principal amount of such Outstanding Debt Securities have given any request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent or waiver hereunder, such Debt Securities owned by the Company or any other obligor upon such Debt Securities or any
Affiliate of the Company or such other obligor (except in the case in which the Company or such other obligor or Affiliate owns all
Debt Securities Outstanding under the Indenture, or all Outstanding Debt Securities of each such series, as the case may be, without
regard to this proviso) shall be disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding, except that, in determining whether the Trustee shall
be protected in relying upon any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver, only such Debt
Securities which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows to be so owned shall be so disregarded. Such Debt Securities so
owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as Outstanding if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the
Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to such Debt Securities and that the pledgee is not the Company or any
other such obligor upon such Debt Securities or any Affiliate of the Company or such other obligor. In case of a dispute as to such
right, the decision of the Trustee upon the advice of counsel shall be full protection to the Trustee. Upon request of the Trustee,
the Company shall furnish to the Trustee promptly an Officers’ Certificate listing and identifying all such Debt Securities,
if any, known by the Company to be owned or held by or for the account of any of the above described Persons; and, subject to the
provisions of Section 8.01, the Trustee shall be entitled to accept such Officers’ Certificate as conclusive evidence of the
facts therein set forth and of the fact that all such Debt Securities not listed therein are Outstanding for the purpose of any such
determination.

Section

Securities in Global Form. (a) If the Company shall establish pursuant to Section 3.01 that the Debt Securities of a particular series
are to be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Debt Securities, then the Company shall execute and the Trustee
or its agent shall, in accordance with Section 3.04 and the Company Order delivered to the Trustee or its agent thereunder, authenticate
and deliver such Global Debt Security or Global Debt Securities, which (i) shall represent, and shall be denominated in an amount equal
to the aggregate principal amount of, the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series to be represented by such Global Debt Security or
Global Debt Securities, or such portion thereof as the Company shall specify in a Company Order, (ii) shall be registered in the name
of the Depository for such Global Debt Security or Global Debt Securities or its nominee, (iii) shall be delivered by the Trustee or
its agent to the Depository or pursuant to the Depository’s instruction and (iv) shall bear a legend substantially to the following
effect: “Unless this certificate is presented by an authorized representative of the Depository to the Company or its agent for
registration of transfer, exchange, or payment, and any certificate issued is registered in the name of the nominee of the Depository
or in such other name as is requested by an authorized representative of the Depository (and any payment is made to the nominee of the
Depository or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized representative of the Depository), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE, OR OTHER
USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL inasmuch as the registered owner hereof, the nominee of the Depository,
has an interest herein.”


 


Holders shall have no rights either under this Indenture with respect
to any Global Debt Securities held on their behalf by the Depository or by the custodian of the Global Debt Security, or under such Global
Debt Security, and the Depository may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the owner
of such Global Debt Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the
Trustee or any Agent or other agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization
furnished by the Depository or impair, as between the Depository and its Holders, the operation of customary practices of the Depository
governing the exercise of the rights of an owner of a beneficial interest in any Global Debt Security.


 


The Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any Holder,
any member of (or participant in) the Depository or any other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depository (or
its nominee), with respect to any ownership interest in a Debt Security, with respect to the delivery by the Depository of any notice
(including any notice of redemption) or the payment by the Depository of any amount or delivery by the Depository of any Debt Security
under or with respect to the Debt Security or with respect to any other action taken or not taken by the Depository. The Trustee may conclusively
rely (and shall be fully protected in relying) upon information furnished by the Depository with respect to its members, participants
and any Holders of Debt Securities.


 


(b)           Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.04 or of Section 3.06, and subject to the provisions of paragraph (c) below,
unless the terms of a Global Debt Security expressly permit such Global Debt Security to be exchanged in whole or in part for individual
certificates representing Debt Securities, a Global Debt Security may be transferred, in whole but not in part and in the manner provided
in Section 3.06, only to a nominee of the Depository for such Global Debt Security, or to the Depository, or a successor Depository for
such Global Debt Security selected or approved by the Company, or to a nominee of such successor Depository.


 


(c)           (1)
If at any time the Depository for a Global Debt Security notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as
Depository for such Global Debt Security or if at any time the Depository for the Global Debt Securities for such series shall no
longer be eligible or in good standing under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or other applicable statute or
regulation, the Company shall appoint a successor Depository with respect to such Global Debt Security. If a successor Depository
for such Global Debt Security is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives notice or becomes aware of
such ineligibility, the Company will execute, and the Trustee or its agent, upon receipt of a Company Request for the authentication
and delivery of certificates representing Debt Securities of such series in exchange for such Global Debt Security, will
authenticate and deliver, certificates representing Debt Securities of such series of like tenor and terms in an aggregate principal
amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Debt Security in exchange for such Global Debt Security.


 






    11 


     


    

 


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


 


(3)           If specified by the Company pursuant to Section 3.01 with respect to Debt Securities issued or issuable in the form of a Global
Debt Security, the Depository for such Global Debt Security may surrender such Global Debt Security in exchange in whole or in part for
certificates representing Debt Securities of such series of like tenor and terms in definitive form on such terms as are acceptable to
the Company and such Depository. Thereupon the Company shall execute, and the Trustee or its agent shall authenticate and deliver, without
a service charge, (A) to each Holder specified by the Debt Security Registrar or the Depository a certificate or certificates representing
Debt Securities of the same series of like tenor and terms and of any authorized denomination as requested by such person in an aggregate
principal amount equal to and in exchange for such Holder’s beneficial interest as specified by the Debt Security Registrar or the
Depository in the Global Debt Security; and (B) to such Depository a new Global Debt Security of like tenor and terms and in an authorized
denomination equal to the difference, if any, between the principal amount of the surrendered Global Debt Security and the aggregate principal
amount of certificates representing Debt Securities delivered to Holders thereof.


 


(4)           In
any exchange provided for in any of the preceding three paragraphs, the Company will execute and the Trustee or its agent will
authenticate and deliver certificates representing Debt Securities in definitive registered form in authorized denominations for
Debt Securities of the same series or any integral multiple thereof. Upon the exchange of the entire principal amount of a Global
Debt Security for certificates representing Debt Securities, such Global Debt Security shall be cancelled by the Trustee or its
agent. Except as provided in the preceding paragraph, certificates representing Debt Securities issued in exchange for a Global Debt
Security pursuant to this Section shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations for Debt Securities of that
series or any integral multiple thereof, as the Debt Security Registrar or Depository shall instruct the Trustee or its agent. The
Trustee or the Debt Security Registrar shall deliver at its Corporate Trust Office such certificates representing Debt Securities to
the Holders in whose names such Debt Securities are so registered.

    14 


     


    

 


Section
3.04.             Execution
of Debt Securities. The Debt Securities shall be executed manually, electronically or by facsimile or other electronic method in
the name and on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board of Directors, Chief Executive Officer, its President, its Chief Financial
Officer, one of its Vice Presidents or its Treasurer and by its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries. Only such Debt Securities
as shall bear thereon a certificate of authentication substantially in the form hereinbefore recited, executed manually, electronically
or by facsimile by the Trustee, shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or be valid or become obligatory for any purpose.
Such certificate by the Trustee upon any Debt Security executed by the Company shall be conclusive evidence that the Debt Security so
authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the Holder is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.


 


In case any officer of the Company who shall have
executed any of the Debt Securities shall cease to be such officer before the Debt Securities so executed shall have been authenticated
and delivered by the Trustee, or disposed of by the Company, such Debt Securities nevertheless shall be valid and binding and may be authenticated
and delivered or disposed of as though the Person who executed such Debt Securities had not ceased to be such officer of the Company;
and any Debt Securities may be executed on behalf of the Company by such Persons as, at the actual date of the execution of such Debt
Security, shall be the proper officers of the Company, although at the date of such Debt Security or of the execution of this Indenture
any such Person was not such an officer.


 


At any time and from time to time after the execution
and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Debt Securities of any series, properly created in accordance with Section 3.01
and executed by the Company, to the Trustee for authentication; and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver such Debt Securities upon
receipt of a Company Order. In the event that any other Person performs the Trustee’s duties as Authenticating Agent pursuant to
a duly executed agreement, the Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the issuance of any Debt Securities hereunder, such notice
to be delivered in accordance with the provisions of Section 15.03 on the date such Debt Securities are delivered by the Company for authentication
to such other Person.


 


Prior to any such authentication and
delivery, the Trustee shall receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the Opinion of Counsel to be
furnished to the Trustee pursuant to Sections 2.02 and 15.05 and the Officers’ Certificate relating to the issuance of any
series of Debt Securities pursuant to Sections 15.05 and 3.01, Opinions of Counsel stating that:


 


(a)           all
instruments furnished to the Trustee conform to the requirements of this Indenture and constitute sufficient authority hereunder for
the Trustee to authenticate and deliver such Debt Securities;


 


(b)           all
laws and requirements with respect to the form and execution by the Company of the supplemental indenture, if any, have been complied
with, the execution and delivery of the supplemental indenture, if any, will not violate the terms of this Indenture, the supplemental
indenture has been duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, the Company has corporate or company power to execute and deliver
any such supplemental indenture and has taken all necessary corporate action for those purposes and any such supplemental indenture has
been executed and delivered and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable in accordance with its
terms (subject, as to enforcement of remedies, to applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other laws affecting
creditors’ rights generally from time to time in effect);


 






    15 


     


    

 


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


 


(d)           all laws and requirements with respect to the execution and delivery by the Company of such Debt Securities have been complied
with, the authentication and delivery of the Debt Securities by the Trustee will not violate the terms of this Indenture, the Company
has the corporate or company power to issue such Debt Securities and such Debt Securities, assuming due authentication and delivery by
the Trustee, constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company in accordance with their terms (subject, as to enforcement
of remedies, to applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally
from time to time in effect) and are entitled to the benefits of this Indenture, equally and ratably with all other Outstanding Debt Securities,
if any, of such series.


 


The Trustee shall not be required to authenticate
such Debt Securities if the issue thereof will adversely affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties, benefits, privileges, protections,
indemnities or immunities under the Debt Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to
the Trustee or such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability to existing Holders.


 


Unless otherwise provided in the form of Debt Security
for any series, all Debt Securities shall be dated the date of their authentication.


 


No Debt Security shall be entitled to any benefit
under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on such Debt Security a certificate of authentication
substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual, facsimile or electronic signature, and such certificate
upon any Debt Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Debt Security has been duly authenticated and delivered
hereunder.


 


Section
3.05.              Temporary
Debt Securities. Pending
the preparation of definitive Debt Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and upon receipt of the documents required by Sections
2.02, 3.01 and 3.04, together with a Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, such temporary Debt Securities which
may be produced in any authorized denominations, substantially of the tenor of such definitive Debt Securities in lieu of which they
are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such temporary
Debt Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such temporary Debt Securities.


 






    16 


     


    

 



 


If temporary Debt Securities of any series are
issued, the Company will cause definitive Debt Securities of such series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation
of definitive Debt Securities of any series, the temporary Debt Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Debt Securities
of such series, upon surrender of the temporary Debt Securities of such series at any office or agency maintained by the Company for such
purposes as provided in Section 5.02, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Debt
Securities of any series, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefore a like principal
amount of definitive Debt Securities of such series having the same interest rate and Stated Maturity and bearing interest from the same
date of any authorized denominations. Until so exchanged the temporary Debt Securities of such series shall in all respects be entitled
to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Debt Securities of such series.


 


Section
3.06.                   
Exchange and Registration of Transfer of Debt Securities. Debt Securities may be exchanged for a like aggregate
principal amount of Debt Securities of such series that are of other authorized denominations. Debt Securities to be exchanged shall
be surrendered at any office or agency to be maintained for such purpose by the Company, as provided in Section 5.02, and the Company
shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefore the Debt Security or Debt Securities of authorized
denominations which the Debt Security Holder making the exchange shall be entitled to receive. Each agent of the Company appointed pursuant
to Section 5.02 as a person authorized to register and register transfer of Debt Securities is sometimes herein referred to as a “Debt
Security Registrar.”


 


The Company shall keep, at each such office
or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose, as provided in Section 5.02, a register for each series of Debt Securities
hereunder (the registers of all Debt Security Registrars being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the “Debt Security
Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the
registration of Debt Securities and shall register the transfer of Debt Securities as provided in this Article Three. At all
reasonable times, such Debt Security Register shall be open for inspection by the Trustee and any Debt Security Registrar other than
the Trustee. The Holder transferring Debt Securities shall provide or cause to be provided to the Trustee all information necessary
to allow the Trustee to comply with any applicable tax reporting obligations, including any cost basis reporting obligations under
Internal Revenue Code Section 6045. The Trustee may rely on such information provided to it and shall have no responsibility to
verify or ensure the accuracy of such information. Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of any Debt Security at any
such office or agency, the Company shall execute and register and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in the name of the
transferee or transferees a new Debt Security or Debt Securities of authorized denominations for an equal aggregate principal
amount. Registration or registration of transfer of any Debt Security by any Debt Security Registrar in the registry books
maintained by such Debt Security Registrar, and delivery of such Debt Security, duly authenticated, shall be deemed to complete the
registration or registration of transfer of such Debt Security.


 


The Company will at all times designate one Person
(who may be the Company and who need not be a Debt Security Registrar) to act as repository of a master list of names and addresses of
Holders of the Debt Securities. The Trustee shall act as such repository unless and until some other Person is, by written notice from
the Company to the Trustee and each Debt Security Registrar, designated by the Company to act as such. The Company shall cause each Debt
Security Registrar to furnish to such repository, on a current basis, such information as such repository may reasonably request as to
registrations, transfers, exchanges and other transactions effected by such registrar, as may be necessary or advisable to enable such
repository to maintain such master list on as current a basis as is reasonably practicable.


 






    17 


     


    

 


No Person shall at any time be appointed as or
act as a Debt Security Registrar unless such Person is at such time empowered under applicable law to act as such and duly registered
to act as such under and to the extent required by applicable law and regulations.


 


All Debt Securities presented to a Debt Security
Registrar for registration of transfer shall be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer
in form satisfactory to the Company and such Debt Security Registrar duly executed by the registered Holder or such Holder’s attorney
duly authorized in writing.


 


No service charge shall be made for any exchange
or registration of transfer of Debt Securities, but the Company or the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith.


 


The Company shall not be required to issue, exchange
or register a transfer of (a) any Debt Securities of any series for a period of 15 days next preceding the sending of a notice of redemption
of Debt Securities of such series and ending at the close of business on the day of the sending of a notice of redemption of Debt Securities
of such series so selected for redemption, or (b) any Debt Securities selected, called or being called for redemption except, in the case
of any Debt Security to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not so to be redeemed. In addition, the Company shall not be required
to register the transfer of or to exchange a Debt Security between a record date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date.


 


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


 


None of the Trustee, any agent of the
Trustee, any paying agent or the Company will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or
payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Debt Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing
any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.


 


Section
3.07.                   
Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Debt Securities. In case any temporary or definitive Debt Security shall
become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company in its discretion may execute, and upon its request the Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver, a new Debt Security, bearing a number, letter or other distinguishing mark not contemporaneously Outstanding, in exchange
and substitution for the mutilated Debt Security, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Debt Security so destroyed, lost or stolen.
In every case the applicant for a substituted Debt Security shall furnish to the Company and to 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 to the Trustee evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft, of such Debt Security and
of the ownership thereof.


 






    18 


     


    

 


In the absence of notice to the Trustee or the
Company that such Debt Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall authenticate any such substituted Debt Security
and deliver the same upon any Company Request. Upon the issuance of any substituted Debt 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 connected
therewith. In case any Debt Security which has matured or is about to mature shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the
Company may, instead of issuing a substituted Debt Security, pay or authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except
in the case of a mutilated Debt Security) if the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the Company and to the Trustee such security
or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless and, in case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence satisfactory
to the Company and to the Trustee of the destruction, loss or theft of such Debt Security and of the ownership thereof.


 


Every substituted Debt Security issued pursuant
to the provisions of this Section 3.07 by virtue of the fact that any Debt Security is destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute an additional
contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Debt Security shall be found at any time, and shall
be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Debt Securities duly issued hereunder.
All Debt 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 Debt Securities and shall preclude (to the extent permitted by law) any
and all other rights or remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of negotiable instruments or other securities without their
surrender.


 


Section
3.08.                   
Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved. Interest which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided
for, on any Interest Payment Date, on any Debt Security, shall unless otherwise provided in such Debt Security be paid to the Person
in whose name the Debt Security (or one or more Predecessor Debt Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record
Date for such interest.


 


Unless otherwise stated in the form of Debt Security
of a series, interest on the Debt Securities of any series shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year comprised of twelve 30 day
months.


 


Any interest on any Debt Security which is payable,
but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith
cease to be payable to the registered Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted
Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in Clause (a) or (b) below:


 


(a)              
The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names any such Debt Securities (or their
respective Predecessor Debt 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 Debt Security and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the
Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements
satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust
for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special
Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date
of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee
shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of
the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefore to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each
Holder of such Debt Securities, at such Holder’s address as it appears in the Debt Security Register, not less than 10 days prior
to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefore having been
mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names such Debt Securities (or their respective Predecessor
Debt Securities) are registered on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following Clause (b).


 






    19 


     


    

 


(b)              
The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any
securities exchange on which the Debt Securities of that series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange,
if , after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this Clause, such payment shall be deemed practicable
by the Trustee.


 


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


 


Section
3.09.                   
Persons Deemed Owners. The
Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Debt Security is registered as
the owner of such Debt Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of, premium, if any, and (subject to Section 3.08)
interest on, such Debt Security and for all other purposes whatsoever whether or not such Debt Security be overdue, and neither the Company,
the Trustee, nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.


 


Section
3.10.                   
Cancellation of Debt Securities Paid, etc. All Debt Securities surrendered for the purpose of payment, redemption,
exchange or registration of transfer or delivered in satisfaction in whole or in part of any sinking fund obligation shall, if surrendered
to the Company or any agent of the Trustee or the Company under this Indenture, be delivered to the Trustee and promptly cancelled by
it, or, if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be promptly cancelled by it, and no Debt Securities shall be issued in lieu thereof except
as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. The Trustee shall dispose of cancelled Debt Securities in accordance
with its customary procedures, and certification of their cancellation by the Trustee shall be delivered to the Company by the Trustee
promptly upon receipt by the Trustee of a Company Order.


 


Section
3.11.                   
Currency and Manner of Payments.  (a) With respect to Debt Securities denominated in Dollars or a Foreign Currency,
the following payment provisions shall apply:


 


(1)              
Except as provided in subparagraph (a)(2) or in paragraph (c) of this Section 3.11, payment of principal of and premium, if any,
on any Debt Securities will be made at the offices established pursuant to Section 5.02 by delivery of a check in the currency in which
the Debt Security is denominated on the payment date against surrender of such Debt Security, and any interest on any Debt Security will
be paid at such office by mailing a check in the currency in which the Debt Securities were issued to the Person entitled thereto at the
address of such Person appearing on the Debt Security Register.


 


(2)              
Payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on such Debt Security may also, subject to applicable laws and regulations,
be made at such other place or places as may be designated by the Company by any appropriate method.


 


(b)               
Not later than the fourth Business Day after the Regular Record Date for such Interest Payment Date, the paying agent will deliver
to the Company a written notice specifying, in the currency in which each series of the Debt Securities are denominated, the respective
aggregate amounts of principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Debt Securities to be made on such payment date, specifying
the amounts so payable in respect of the Debt Securities. The failure of the paying agent to deliver such notice shall not relieve the
Company from its obligation to make all payments with respect to any Debt Security when due.


 






    20 


     


    

 


(c)               If
the Foreign Currency in which any of the Debt Securities are denominated ceases to be used both by the government of the country
which issued such currency and for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking
community, then with respect to each date for the payment of Foreign Currency occurring after the last date on which the Foreign
Currency was so used (the “Conversion Date”), the Dollar shall be the currency of payment for use on each such Interest
Payment Date. The Dollar amount to be paid by the Company to the Trustee and by the Trustee or any paying agent to the Holder of
such Debt Securities with respect to such payment date shall be the Dollar Equivalent of the Foreign Currency as determined by the
Currency Determination Agent as of the second Business Day preceding the applicable payment date (the “Valuation Date”)
in the manner provided in paragraph (d).


 


(d)              
The “Dollar Equivalent of the Foreign Currency” shall be determined by the Currency Determination Agent as of each
Valuation Date and shall be obtained by converting the specified Foreign Currency into Dollars at the Market Exchange Rate on the Valuation
Date.


 


(e)              
The “Market Exchange Rate” shall mean, for any currency, the highest firm bid quotation for U.S. dollars received by
the Currency Determination Agent at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding the applicable
payment date (or, if no such rate is quoted on such date, the last date on which such rate was quoted), from three recognized foreign
exchange dealers in the City of New York selected by the Currency Determination Agent and approved by the Company (one of which may be
the Currency Determination Agent) for the purchase by the quoting dealer, for settlement on such payment date, of the aggregate amount
of such currency payable on such payment in respect of all Notes denominated in such currency.


 


(f)               
All decisions and determinations of the Currency Determination Agent regarding the Dollar Equivalent of the Foreign Currency and
the Market Exchange Rate shall be in its sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and
irrevocably binding upon the Company and all Holders of the Debt Securities. In the event that the Foreign Currency ceases to be used
both by the government of the country which issued such currency and for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within
the international banking community, the Company, after learning thereof, will promptly give notice thereof to the Trustee (and the Trustee
will promptly thereafter give notice in the manner provided in Section 15.03 to the Holders) specifying the Conversion Date.


 


(g)              
The Trustee shall be fully justified and protected in relying on and acting upon the information so received by it from the Company
or the Currency Determination Agent and shall not otherwise have any duty or obligation to determine such information independently. If
the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on any Debt Securities is payable in a Foreign Currency and such Foreign Currency
is not available for payment due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Company, then
the Company shall be entitled to satisfy its obligations to Holders under this Indenture by making such payment in Dollars on the basis
of the Market Exchange Rate for such Foreign Currency on the latest date for which such rate was established on or before the date on
which payment is due. Any payment made pursuant to this Section 3.11 in Dollars where the required payment is in a Foreign Currency shall
not constitute a default or Event of Default under this Indenture.

Article
4.


Redemption of Debt Securities; Sinking Funds.


 


Section
4.01.                   
Applicability of Article. The Company may reserve the right to redeem and pay before Stated Maturity all or
any part of the Debt Securities of any series, either by optional redemption, sinking fund (mandatory or optional) or otherwise, by provision
therefor in the form of Debt Security for such series on such terms as are specified in such form or the Board Resolution or Officers’
Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 3.01 or the indenture supplemental hereto as provided in Section 3.01 with respect to Debt
Securities of such series. Redemption of Debt Securities of any series shall be made in accordance with the terms of such Debt Securities
and, to the extent that this Article does not conflict with such terms, in accordance with this Article.


 


Section
4.02.                   
Notice of Redemption; Selection of Debt Securities. In case the Company shall desire to exercise the right to
redeem all, or, as the case may be, any part of a series of Debt Securities pursuant to Section 4.01, the Company shall fix a date for
redemption and the Company, or, at the Company’s request and provision of such notice information, the Trustee in the name of and
at the expense of the Company, shall send a notice of such redemption at least 30 and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for
redemption to the Holders of Debt Securities so to be redeemed as a whole or in part at their last addresses as the same appear on the
Debt Securities Register. The notice, if sent in the manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given,
whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice or any defect in the notice to the Holder of
any Debt Security designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption
of any other Debt Security.


 


Notice of redemption shall be given in the name
of the Company and shall specify the date fixed for redemption, the Redemption Price at which Debt Securities of any series are to be
redeemed, the place of payment (which shall be at the offices or agencies to be maintained by the Company pursuant to Section 5.02), that
payment of the Redemption Price will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Debt Securities, that interest accrued to the date
fixed for redemption will be paid as specified in said notice, that on and after said date interest thereon or on the portions thereof
to be redeemed will cease to accrue, and the Section of this Indenture pursuant to which Debt Securities will be redeemed. In case less
than all Debt Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the notice of redemption shall also identify the particular Debt Securities
to be redeemed as a whole or in part and shall state that the redemption is for the sinking fund, if such is the case. In case any Debt
Security is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed
and shall state that on and after the date fixed for redemption, upon surrender of such Debt Security, a new Debt Security or Debt Securities
of such series in aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued without charge to the Holder.


 


If less than all the Debt Securities of any
series are to be redeemed, the Company shall give the Trustee notice, at least 45 days (or such shorter period acceptable to the
Trustee) in advance of the date fixed for redemption, as to the aggregate principal amount of Debt Securities to be redeemed. Debt
Securities may be redeemed in part in multiples equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Debt Securities of such series or
any multiple thereof. Thereupon the Trustee or, with respect to Global Debt Securities, the Depository, shall select, in such manner
as in its sole discretion it shall deem appropriate and fair (and, in such manner that complies with the requirements of the
Depository, if applicable), the Debt Securities or portions thereof to be redeemed, and shall as promptly as practicable notify the
Company of the Debt Securities or portions thereof so selected. For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise
requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Debt Securities of any series shall relate, in the case of any Debt Security
redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Debt Security which has been or is to be
redeemed.


 






    22 


     


    

 


On or prior to the date fixed for redemption specified
in the notice of redemption given as provided in this Section 4.02, the Company will deposit with the Trustee or with the paying agent
an amount of money in the currency in which the Debt Securities of such series are payable sufficient to redeem on the date fixed for
redemption all the Debt Securities so called for redemption at the appropriate Redemption Price, together with accrued interest to the
date fixed for redemption.


 


The Trustee shall not send any notice of redemption
of any series of Debt Securities during the continuation of any default in payment of interest on any series of Debt Securities when due
or of any Event of Default, except that where notice of redemption with respect to any series of Debt Securities shall have been sent
prior to the occurrence of such default or Event of Default, the Trustee shall redeem such Debt Securities provided funds are deposited
with it for such purpose.


 


Notwithstanding any provision
hereof to the contrary, notice of any redemption to the Holders of Debt Securities may, in the Company’s discretion, be subject
to one or more conditions precedent, including completion of a corporate transaction. In such event, the related notice of redemption
shall describe each such condition and, if applicable, shall state that, in the Company’s discretion, the date of redemption may
be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied or waived, or such redemption may not occur and such notice
may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied or waived by the date of redemption, or by
the date of redemption as so delayed.


 


Section
4.03.                   
Payment of Debt Securities Called for Redemption. If notice of redemption has been given as herein provided,
the Debt Securities or portions of Debt Securities with respect to which such notice has been given shall become due and payable on the
date and at the place stated in such notice at the applicable Redemption Price, together with interest accrued to the date fixed for
redemption, and on and after said date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of such Debt Securities or portions thereof at
the Redemption Price) interest on the Debt Securities or portions of Debt Securities so called for redemption shall cease to accrue,
and such Debt Securities and portions of Debt Securities shall be deemed not to be Outstanding hereunder and shall not be entitled to
any benefit under this Indenture except to receive payment of the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest to the date fixed
for redemption. On presentation and surrender of such Debt Securities at the place of payment in said notice specified, the said Debt
Securities or the specified portions thereof shall be paid and redeemed by the Company at the applicable Redemption Price, together with
interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption; provided, however, that any installments of interest becoming due on the date
fixed for redemption shall be payable to the Holders of such Debt Securities, or one or more previous Debt Securities evidencing all
or a portion of the same debt as that evidenced by such particular Debt Securities, registered as such on the relevant record dates according
to their terms and the provisions of Section 3.08.


 


Upon presentation and surrender of any Debt Security
redeemed in part only, with, if the Company or the Trustee so required, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing,
the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Debt
Security or Debt Securities of the same series having the same interest rate and Stated Maturity and bearing interest from the same date,
of any authorized denominations as requested by such Holder, in aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Debt
Security so presented and surrendered.


 


Section
4.04.                   
Exclusion of Certain Debt Securities from Eligibility for Selection for Redemption. Debt Securities shall be
excluded from eligibility for selection for redemption if they are identified by registration and certificate number in a written statement
signed by a Responsible Officer of the Company and delivered to the Trustee at least 45 days prior to the last date on which notice of
redemption may be given as being owned of record and beneficially by, and not pledged or hypothecated by, either (a) the Company or (b)
an entity specifically identified in such written statement directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect
common control with the Company.


 






    23 


     


    

 


Section
4.05.                   
Provisions with Respect to any Sinking Funds. Unless the form or terms of any series of Debt Securities shall
provide otherwise, in lieu of making all or any part of any mandatory sinking fund payment with respect to such series of Debt Securities
in cash, the Company may at its option (a) deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Debt Securities of such series theretofore acquired
by the Company, or (b) receive credit for any Debt Securities of such series (not previously so credited) acquired by the Company and
theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, then Debt Securities so delivered or credited shall be credited at the applicable
sinking fund Redemption Price with respect to the Debt Securities of such series.


 


On or before the 45th day next preceding each
sinking fund Redemption Date, the Company will deliver to the Trustee a certificate signed by the Chief Financial Officer, any Vice
President, the Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer of the Company specifying (i) the portion of the mandatory sinking fund payment
to be satisfied by deposit of cash in the currency in which the Debt Securities of such series are payable, by delivery of Debt
Securities theretofore purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company (which Debt Securities shall accompany such certificate) and
by credit for Debt Securities acquired by the Company and theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation redeemed by the
Company and stating that the credit to be applied has not theretofore been so applied and (ii) whether the Company intends to
exercise its right, if any, to make an optional sinking fund payment, and, if so, the amount thereof. Such certificate shall also
state that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Such certificate shall be irrevocable and upon its delivery the
Company shall be obligated to make the payment or payments therein referred to, if any, on or before the next succeeding sinking
fund payment date. In case of the failure of the Company on or before the 45th day next preceding each sinking fund Redemption Date
to deliver such certificate (or to deliver the Debt Securities specified in this paragraph), the sinking fund payment due on the
next succeeding sinking fund payment date shall be paid entirely in cash (in the currency described above) and shall be sufficient
to redeem the principal amount of Debt Securities as a mandatory sinking fund payment, without the option to deliver or credit Debt
Securities as provided in the first paragraph of this Section 4.05 and without the right to make an optional sinking fund payment as
provided herein.


 


If the sinking fund payment or payments (mandatory
or optional) with respect to any series of Debt Securities made in cash (in the currency described above) shall exceed the minimum authorized
denomination set forth in an Officers’ Certificate pursuant to Section 3.01 or the equivalent in the currency in which the Debt
Securities of such series are payable (or a lesser sum if the Company shall so request), unless otherwise provided by the terms of such
series of Debt Securities, said cash shall be applied by the Trustee on the sinking fund Redemption Date with respect to Debt Securities
of such series at the applicable sinking fund Redemption Price with respect to Debt Securities of such series, together with accrued interest,
if any, to the date fixed for redemption, with the effect provided in Section 4.03. The Trustee shall select, in the manner provided in
Section 4.02, for redemption on such sinking fund Redemption Date a sufficient principal amount of Debt Securities of such series to utilize
said cash and shall thereupon cause notice of redemption of the Debt Securities of such series for the sinking fund to be given in the
manner provided in Section 4.02 (and with the effect provided in Section 4.03) for the redemption of Debt Securities in part at the option
of the Company. Debt Securities of any series which are identified by registration and certificate number in an Officers’ Certificate
at least 45 days prior to the sinking fund Redemption Date as being beneficially owned by, and not pledged or hypothecated by, the Company
or an entity directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company shall be
excluded from Debt Securities of such series eligible for selection for redemption. Any sinking fund moneys not so applied or allocated
by the Trustee to the redemption of Debt Securities of such series shall be added to the next cash sinking fund payment with respect to
Debt Securities of such series received by the Trustee and, together with such payment, shall be applied in accordance with the provisions
of this Section 4.05. Any and all sinking fund moneys with respect to Debt Securities of any series held by the Trustee at the maturity
of Debt Securities of such series, and not held for the payment or redemption of particular Debt Securities of such series, shall be applied
by the Trustee, together with other moneys, if necessary, to be deposited sufficient for the purpose, to the payment of the principal
of the Debt Securities of such series at maturity.


 






    24 


     


    

 


The Trustee shall not convert any currency in which
the Debt Securities of such series are payable for the purposes of such sinking fund application unless a Company Request is made, and
any such conversion agreed to by the Trustee in response to such request shall be for the account and at the expense of the Company and
shall not affect the Company’s obligation to pay the Holders in the currency to which such Holder is entitled.


 


On or before each sinking fund Redemption Date
provided with respect to Debt Securities of any series, the Company shall pay to the Trustee in cash in the currency described above a
sum equal to all accrued interest, if any, to the date fixed for redemption on Debt Securities to be redeemed on such sinking fund Redemption
Date pursuant to this Section 4.05.


 


Article
5.

Particular Covenants of the Company.


 


Section
5.01.                   
Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest. The Company will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid (in
the currency in which the Debt Securities of such series are payable) the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on each of the
Debt Securities at the place (subject to Section 3.03), at the respective times and in the manner provided in each series of Debt Securities
and in this Indenture.


 


Section
5.02.                   
Offices for Notices and Payments, etc. (a) So long as the Debt Securities of any series remain Outstanding,
the Company will maintain at the Place of Payment, an office or agency where the Debt Securities may be presented for payment, an office
or agency where the Debt Securities may be presented for registration of transfer and for exchange as provided in this Indenture, and
an office or agency where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Debt Securities or of this Indenture may be served
and shall give the Trustee written notice thereof and any changes in the location thereof. In case the Company shall at any time fail
to maintain any such office or agency, or shall fail to give notice to the Trustee of any change in the location thereof, presentation
and demand may be made and notice may be served in respect of the Debt Securities or of this Indenture at said office of the Trustee.


 


(b)              
In addition to the office or agency maintained by the Company pursuant to Section 5.02(a), the Company may from time to time designate
one or more other offices or agencies where the Debt Securities may be presented for payment and presented for registration of transfer
and for exchange in the manner provided in this Indenture, and the Company may from time to time rescind such designations, as the Company
may deem desirable or expedient; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the
Company of its obligation to maintain such office and agency at the Place of Payment, for the purposes abovementioned. The Company will
give to the Trustee prompt written notice of (i) any such designation or rescission thereof, and (ii) the location of any such office
or agency outside the Place of Payment and of any change of location thereof.


 


Section
5.03.                   
Appointments to Fill Vacancies in Trustee’s Office. The Company, whenever necessary to avoid or fill a
vacancy in the office of Trustee, will appoint, in the manner provided in Section 8.10, a Trustee, so that there shall at all times be
a Trustee hereunder.


 


Section
5.04.                   
Provisions as to Paying Agent.
(a) (1) If the
Company shall elect the Trustee to initially act as its paying agent or Debt Security Registrar, it will appoint the Trustee, in writing;
provided that the Company may change any paying agent or Debt Security Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company or any of
its subsidiaries may act in any such capacity. The Company hereby appoints the Trustee to act as initial paying agent and Debt Security
Registrar and the Trustee accepts such appointment. Whenever the Company shall have one or more paying agents for any series of Debt
Securities other than the Trustee, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any Debt
Securities of such series, deposit with a paying agent a sum sufficient to pay such amount becoming due, such sum to be held as provided
by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, and (unless such paying agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its
action or failure so to act.


 






    25 


     


    

 


(2)              
The Company will cause each paying agent other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such
paying agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such paying agent will: (i) comply with the
provisions of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 applicable to it as a paying agent and (ii) during the continuance of any default by the
Company (or any other obligor upon any series of Debt Securities) in the making of any payment in respect of the Debt Securities of such
series, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such paying agent as such.


 


(b)              
If the Company shall act as its own paying agent, it will, on or prior to each due date of the principal of and premium, if any,
or interest on Debt Securities of any series, set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders of such Debt Securities
a sum sufficient to pay such principal and premium, if any, or interest so becoming due and will notify the Trustee of any failure to
take such action and of any failure by the Company (or by any other obligor on such series of Debt Securities) to make any payment of
the principal of and premium, if any, or interest on the Debt Securities when the same shall become due and payable.


 


(c)              
Anything in this Section 5.04 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company may, at any time, for the purpose of obtaining a satisfaction
and discharge of this Indenture with respect to any or all series of Debt Securities then Outstanding, or for any other reason, pay or
cause to be paid to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company, or any paying agent hereunder, as required by this Section 5.04,
such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the trusts herein contained.


 


(d)              
Anything in this Section 5.04 to the contrary notwithstanding, the agreement to hold sums in trust provided in this Section 5.04
is subject to Section 13.04.


 


Section
5.05.                   
Certificate to Trustee. So long as the Debt Securities of any series remain Outstanding, the Company will deliver
to the Trustee on or before 120 days after the end of each fiscal year an Officers’ Certificate stating that in the course of the
performance by the signers of their duties as officers of the Company, they would normally have knowledge of any default by the Company
in the performance or fulfillment or observance of any covenants or agreements contained herein during the preceding fiscal year, stating
whether or not they have knowledge of any such default and, if so, specifying each such default of which the signers have knowledge and
the nature thereof and, if not, certifying that to the knowledge of such officers, the Company is in compliance with the Indenture and
any such series of Outstanding Debt Securities. The Officers’ Certificate need not comply with Section 15.05. The Company shall
deliver to the Trustee, as soon as possible and in any event, within five Business Days after a Responsible Officer of the Company becomes
aware of the occurrence of any Event of Default or an event which, with notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event
of Default, an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the details of such Event of Default or default and the action which the Company
proposes to take with respect thereto.


 


Section
5.06.                   
Waivers of Covenants. Anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company may fail or omit,
in respect of any series of Debt Securities, and in any particular instance, to comply with a covenant, agreement or condition contained
in Sections 5.02, 5.04 (other than in 5.04(a)(1) and (2)) or 5.05, or with any additional covenant, agreement or condition contained
in a Board Resolution or Officers’ Certificate establishing such series of Debt Securities, any indenture supplemental hereto applicable
to such series or any Debt Security of such series if the Company shall have obtained and filed with the Trustee before or after the
time for such compliance the consent in writing of the Holders of more than 50% in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities
of the series affected by such waiver at the time Outstanding, either waiving such compliance in such instance or generally waiving compliance
with such covenant or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not expressly waived nor impair any right
consequent thereon and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee in respect
of any such covenant or condition shall remain in full force and effect.

and the Trustee.


 


Section
6.01.                   
Holders’ Lists. The Company covenants and agrees that it will furnish or cause to be furnished to the
Trustee, not more than 15 days after each Regular Record Date with respect to the Debt Securities of any series, and at such other times
as the Trustee may request in writing, within 30 days after receipt by the Company of any such request, a list in such form as the Trustee
may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders of Debt Securities of such series as of a date not more than 15 days
prior to the time such information is furnished; provided, however, that no such list with respect to any particular series of
Debt Securities need be furnished at any such time if the Trustee is in possession thereof by reason of its acting as the Debt Security
Registrar for such series designated under Section 3.06 or otherwise.


 


Section
6.02.                   
Preservation and Disclosure of Lists. (a) The Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably
practicable, all information as to the names and addresses of the Holders of Debt Securities contained in the most recent list furnished
to it as provided in Section 6.01 or received by the Trustee in the capacity of the Debt Security Registrar (if so acting) under Section
3.06. The Trustee may destroy any list furnished to it as provided in Section 6.01 upon receipt of a new list so furnished.


 


(b)              
The rights of Holders to communicate with other Holders with respect to their rights under this Indenture or under the Debt Securities
of any series or of all Debt Securities, and the corresponding rights and duties of the Trustee, shall be as provided by the Trust Indenture
Act of 1939.


 


(c)               
Every Holder of Debt Securities, by receiving and holding the same, agrees with the Company and the Trustee that neither the Company
nor the Trustee nor any agent of either of them shall be held accountable by reason of any disclosure of information as to names and addresses
of Holders made pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939.


 


Section
6.03.                   
Reports by the Company. The Company agrees to file with the Trustee and the Commission, and transmit to Holders,
such information, documents and other reports, and such summaries thereof, as may be required pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act of
1939 at the times and in the manner provided pursuant to such Act; provided that any such information, documents or reports required
to be filed with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, shall be filed with
the Trustee within 15 days after the same is filed with the Commission; provided further that any such information, documents
or reports filed with the Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval (or EDGAR) system or any successor
thereto shall be deemed to have been filed and/or transmitted as required by this Section as of the date on which any such information,
documents or reports are filed for public availability with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR or any successor thereto (it being understood
that the Trustee shall have no responsibility for determining whether such filings or postings have been made). Delivery of such reports,
information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute
constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s
compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates).


 


Section
6.04.                   
Reports by the Trustee. (a) The Trustee shall transmit to Holders such reports concerning the Trustee and its
actions under this Indenture as may be required pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 at the times and in the manner provided pursuant
thereto. The interval between transmissions of reports to be transmitted at intervals shall be twelve months or such shorter time required
by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939. If the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 does not specify the date on which a report is due, such report
shall be dated as of October 15, and due on November 15 of each year, commencing in 2022.


 






    27 


     


    

 


(b)               A
copy of each such report shall, at the time of such transmission to Holders, be filed by the Trustee with each stock exchange upon
which Debt Securities of any series are listed, with the Commission and with the Company. The Company will notify the Trustee when
the Debt Securities of any series are listed on any stock exchange and of any delisting thereof.

Remedies of the Trustee and Holders

on Event of Default.


 


Section
7.01.                   
Events of Default. “Event of Default”, with respect to any series of Debt Securities, wherever used
herein, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary
or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any
administrative or governmental body), unless such event is either inapplicable to such series or it is specifically deleted or modified
in the Board Resolution, Officers’ Certificate or supplemental indenture under which such series of Debt Securities is issued or
in the form of Debt Security for such series:


 


(a)               
default in the payment of any installment of interest upon any Debt Security of such series as and when the same shall become due
and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days;


 


(b)              
default in the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, on any Debt Security of such series as and when the same shall
become due and payable either at maturity, upon redemption, by declaration of acceleration or otherwise;


 


(c)               
default in the payment or satisfaction of any sinking fund payment or analogous obligation, if any, with respect to the Debt Securities
of such series as and when the same shall become due and payable by the terms of the Debt Securities of such series, and continuance of
such default for a period of 30 days;


 


(d)               
failure on the part of the Company duly to observe or perform any of the covenants, warranties or agreements on the part of the
Company in respect of the Debt Securities of such series in this Indenture (other than a covenant, warranty or agreement a default in
whose performance or whose breach is specifically dealt with elsewhere in this Section) continued for a period of 60 days after the date
on which written notice of such failure, stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder, specifying such failure
and requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Company by the Trustee, by registered mail, or to the Company and
the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series;


 


(e)                a
decree or order by a court having jurisdiction in the premises shall have been entered adjudging the Company a bankrupt or
insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization of the Company under the Federal bankruptcy laws or any
other similar applicable Federal or state law, and such decree or order shall have continued undischarged and unstayed for a period
of 90 days; or a decree or order of a court having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a receiver or liquidator or
trustee or assignee or other similar official in bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company or of all or substantially all of its
property, or for the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered, and such decree or order shall have
continued undischarged and unstayed for a period of 90 days;


 






    28 


     


    

 


(f)               
the Company shall institute proceedings to be adjudicated a voluntary bankrupt, or shall consent to the filing of a bankruptcy
proceeding against it, or shall file a petition or answer or consent seeking an arrangement or a reorganization under the Federal bankruptcy
laws or any other similar applicable Federal or state law, or shall consent to the filing of any such petition, or shall consent to the
appointment of a receiver or liquidator or trustee or assignee or other similar official in bankruptcy or insolvency of it or of all or
substantially all of its property, or shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors generally, or shall admit in writing its inability
to pay its debts generally as they become due; or


 


(g)              
any other Event of Default provided in the Board Resolution, Officers’ Certificate or the supplemental indenture under which
such series of Debt Securities is issued or in the form of Debt Security for such series.


 


In each and every such case, so long as such
Event of Default with respect to any series of Debt Securities for which there are Debt Securities Outstanding occurs and is
continuing (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (e) or (f) of Section 7.01) and shall not have been remedied or
waived to the extent permitted by the terms of this Indenture, unless the principal of all of the Debt Securities of such series
shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of
the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), may
declare the principal (or, if the Debt Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Debt Securities, such portion of the
principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series) of all the Debt Securities of such series and the interest accrued
thereon to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and
payable, anything in this Indenture or in the Debt Securities of such series contained to the contrary notwithstanding. If an Event
of Default specified in clause (e) or (f) of Section 7.01 occurs and is continuing, then the principal amount of (or, if the Debt
Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Debt Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in
the terms thereof as due and payable upon acceleration) and any accrued and unpaid interest on that series shall immediately become
due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. This provision, however, is subject
to the condition that if, at any time after the principal of the Debt Securities of such 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 Company shall pay or shall deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay in the currency in which the Debt
Securities of such series are payable all matured installments of interest upon all of the Debt Securities and the principal of and
premium, if any, on any and all Debt Securities of such series which shall have become due otherwise than by such declaration (with
interest on overdue installments of interest to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law and on
such principal and premium, if any, at the rate borne by the Debt Securities of such series or as otherwise provided in the form of
Debt Security for such series, to the date of such payment or deposit) and the expenses of the Trustee (subject to Section 8.06),
and any and all defaults under this Indenture, other than the nonpayment of principal of and accrued interest on Debt Securities of
such series which shall have become due by such declaration, shall have been cured or shall have been waived in accordance with
Section 7.07 or provision deemed by the Trustee to be adequate shall have been made therefor — then and in every such case the
Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of such series then Outstanding, by written
notice to the Company and to the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences; but no such rescission and
annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default, or shall impair any right consequent thereon.


 






    29 


     


    

 



 


In case the Trustee or any Holders shall have proceeded
to enforce any right under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of such rescission and
annulment or for any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the Company, the
Trustee and the Holders shall be restored respectively to their several positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers
of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been taken.


 


Section
7.02.                   
Payment of Debt Securities Upon Default; Suit Therefor. The Company covenants that (a) in case default shall
be made in the payment of any installment of interest upon any Debt Security of any series as and when the same shall become due and
payable, and such default shall have continued for a period of 30 days, or (b) in case default shall be made in the payment of the principal
of and premium, if any, on any Debt Security of any series as and when the same shall have become due and payable, whether at maturity
of the Debt Security or upon redemption or by declaration or otherwise or (c) in case default shall be made in the making or satisfaction
of any sinking fund payment or analogous obligation with respect to the Debt Securities of any series when the same becomes due by the
terms of the Debt Securities of any series, and such default shall have continued for a period of 30 days—then, upon demand of
the Trustee, the Company will pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of any such series, the whole amount that then shall
have become due and payable on any such Debt Securities for principal and premium, if any, or interest, or both, as the case may be,
with interest upon the overdue principal and premium, if any, and (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable
law) upon the overdue installments of interest at the rate borne by the Debt Securities of such series or as otherwise provided in the
form of Debt Security of such series; and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses
of collection, including a reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and any expenses or liabilities
incurred and advances made by the Trustee, except compensation or advances arising, or expenses or liabilities incurred, as a result
of the Trustee’s negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.


 


Until such demand is made by the Trustee, the Company
may pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Debt Securities of any series to the Persons entitled thereto, whether
or not the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Debt Securities of such series are overdue.


 






    30 


     


    

 


In case the Company shall fail forthwith to
pay such amounts upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, shall be entitled and empowered
to institute any actions or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute any
such action or proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against the Company or any
other obligor on such Debt Securities and collect, in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other
obligor on such Debt Securities wherever situated, the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable. If any Event of Default with
respect to any series of Debt Securities occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce
its rights and the rights of the Holders of Debt Securities of such series by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee
shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement
in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.


 


In case there shall be pending proceedings for
the bankruptcy or for the reorganization of the Company or any other obligor on the Debt Securities of any series under the Federal bankruptcy
laws or any other applicable law, or in case a receiver or trustee shall have been appointed for the property of the Company or such other
obligor, or in the case of any other similar judicial proceedings relative to the Company or other obligor upon the Debt Securities of
any series, or to the creditors or property of the Company or such other obligor, the Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of
the Debt Securities of such series shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective
of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.02, shall be entitled and empowered by
intervention in such proceedings or otherwise, (a) to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and interest
owing and unpaid in respect of the Debt Securities of such series, and, in case of any judicial proceedings, to file such proofs of claim
and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and of the Holders of the Debt
Securities of such series allowed in such judicial proceedings relative to the Company or any other obligor on such Debt Securities, its
or their creditors, or its or their property, (b) unless prohibited by applicable law and regulations, to vote on behalf of the Holders
of any Debt Securities of any series in any election of a trustee or a standby trustee in arrangement, reorganization, liquidation or
other bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings or person performing similar functions in comparable proceedings, and (c) to collect and receive
any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute the same after the deduction of its charges
and expenses; and any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization is hereby authorized by each of the Holders of the
Debt 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 Holders, to pay to the Trustee such amount as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the
Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and liabilities incurred and advances made by the Trustee except compensation
or advances arising, or expenses or liabilities incurred, as a result of the Trustee’s negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.


 


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


 






    31 


     


    

 


All rights of action and of asserting claims under
this Indenture, or under any of the Debt Securities of any series, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of such
Debt Securities, or the production thereof on 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 be for the ratable
benefit of the Holders of the Debt Securities of such series in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.


 


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


 


Section
7.03.                    Application of Moneys Collected by Trustee. Any moneys collected by the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.02 and
any other money or property distributed in respect of the Company’s obligations under this Indenture after an Event of Default
shall be applied in the order following, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee for the distribution of such moneys, upon presentation
of the Debt Securities of such series, and stamping thereon the payment, if only partially paid, and upon surrender thereof, if fully
paid:


 


First:                   To
the Trustee for payment of amounts owed to the Trustee, including payment of all compensation agreed in writing between the Company and
the Trustee, and of all other expenses and liabilities incurred (including, in each case, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses),
and all advances made, by the Trustee, and the costs and expenses of collection (including, in each case, reasonable attorneys’
fees and expenses) except compensation or advances arising, or expenses or liabilities incurred, as a result of its negligence, willful
misconduct or bad faith, and any other amounts owing the Trustee under Section 8.06;


 


Second:             
In case the principal of the Debt Securities of such series shall not have become due and be unpaid, to the payment of interest
on such Debt Securities, in the order of the maturity of the installments of such interest, with interest (to the extent that such interest
has been collected by the Trustee) upon the overdue installments of interest at the rate borne by such Debt Securities, such payments
to be made ratably to the Persons entitled thereto;


 


Third:                 
In case the principal of the Debt Securities of such series shall have become due, by declaration or otherwise, to the payment
of the whole amount then owing and unpaid upon such Debt Securities for principal and premium, if any, and interest, with interest on
the overdue principal and premium, if any, and (to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee) upon overdue installments
of interest at the rate borne by such Debt Securities; and in case such moneys shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amounts
so due and unpaid upon such Debt Securities, then, to the payment of such principal and premium, if any, and interest without preference
or priority of principal and premium, if any, over interest, or of interest over principal and premium, if any, or of any installment
of interest over any other installment of interest, or of any Debt Security of such series over any other such Debt Security, ratably
to the aggregate of such principal and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest;


 






    32 


     


    

 


Fourth:            
 To the payment of any surplus then remaining to the Company, its successors or assigns, or to such party as a court of
competent jurisdiction shall direct.


 


Section
7.04.                   
Proceedings by Holders. No Holder of any Debt Security of any series shall have any right by virtue of or by
availing of any provision of this Indenture to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law or in bankruptcy or otherwise
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
such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided,
and unless also the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of such series then Outstanding
shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and
shall have offered to the Trustee such indemnity, security or both as it may reasonably require against the costs, expenses and other
liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity,
security or both, shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding (and no direction inconsistent with
such written request shall have been given to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.07), it being understood and intended, and being expressly
covenanted by the taker and Holder of every Debt Security of every series with every other taker and Holder and the Trustee, that no
one or more Holders of Debt Securities shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of or by availing of any provision of this
Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holder of such Debt Securities, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority
over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for
the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Holders of Debt Securities.


 


Section
7.05.                   
Proceedings by Trustee. In case of an Event of Default hereunder the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to
protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders 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 by suit in equity or by action at law or by
proceeding in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture
or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Indenture, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee
by this Indenture or by law.


 


Section
7.06.                   
Remedies Cumulative and Continuing. All powers and remedies given by this Article Seven to the Trustee or to
the Holders shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any thereof or of any other powers and remedies
available to the Trustee or the Holders, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the covenants
and agreements contained in this Indenture, and no delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder to exercise any right or power accruing
upon any 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 an acquiescence therein; and, subject to the provisions of Section 7.04, every power and remedy given by this Article

Trustee or by the Holders.

Section
7.07.                   
Direction of Proceedings and Waiver of Defaults by Majority of Holders. The Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of any series shall have the right to direct the time, method, and place of conducting
any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the
Debt Securities by this Indenture; provided, however, that (subject to the provisions of Section 8.01) the Trustee shall have the right
to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee shall determine upon advice of counsel that the action or proceeding so directed
may not lawfully be taken or would be materially and unjustly prejudicial to the rights of Holders not joining in such direction or if
the Trustee in good faith by its board of directors or trustees, executive committee, or a trust committee of directors or trustees and/or
Responsible Officers shall determine that the action or proceeding so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability or if
the Trustee in good faith shall so determine that the actions or forebearances specified in or pursuant to such direction would be unduly
prejudicial to the interests of Holders of the Debt Securities of all series not joining in the giving of said direction, it being understood
that (subject to Section 8.01) the Trustee shall have no duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forebearances are duly prejudicial
to such Holders. The Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee not inconsistent with such direction. Subject to
Section 7.01, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of any series may on behalf
of the Holders of all the Debt Securities of such series waive any past default or Event of Default hereunder and its consequences except
a default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on such Debt Securities, or a default in the making of any sinking
fund payment with respect to such Debt Securities. Upon any such waiver the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of such Debt Securities
shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or
other default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. Whenever any default or Event of Default shall have been waived
as permitted by this Section 7.07, said default or Event of Default shall for all purposes of the Debt Securities and this Indenture
be deemed to have been cured and to be not continuing.


 


This Section 7.07 shall be in lieu of Sections
316(a)(1)(A) and 316(a)(1)(B) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 and such Sections 316(a)(1)(A) and Section 316(a)(1)(B) are hereby expressly
excluded from this Indenture, as permitted by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939.


 


Section
7.08.                   
Notice of Defaults. Within 90 days after the occurrence of any default hereunder with respect to the Debt Securities
of any series, the Trustee shall transmit first-class by mail, postage prepaid, to all Holders of Debt Securities of such series, as
their names and addresses appear in the Debt Security Register, notice of such default hereunder actually known to the Trustee, unless
such default shall have been cured or waived; provided, however, that, except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal
of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Debt Security of such series or in the payment of any sinking fund installment with respect
to Debt Securities of such series, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors,
the executive committee or a trust committee of directors or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding
of such notice is in the interest of the Holders of Debt Securities of such series; and provided, further, that in the case of any default
of the character specified in Section 7.01(d) with respect to Debt Securities of such series, no such notice to Holders shall be given
until at least 60 days after the occurrence thereof. For the purpose of this Section, the term “default” means any event
which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to Debt Securities of such series.

Section
7.09.                  
Undertaking to Pay Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in
any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, a court may require any party litigant in such
suit to file an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and may assess costs against any such party litigant, in the manner and to
the extent provided in the Trust Indenture Act of 1939; provided that neither this Section nor the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 shall
be deemed to authorize any court to require such an undertaking or to make such an assessment in any suit instituted by the Company or
the Trustee, and any provision of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 to such effect is hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture, as
permitted by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939.


 


Section
7.10.                  
Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest. Notwithstanding any other provision
in this Indenture, the Holder of any Debt Security shall have the rights, which are absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of
the principal of, premium, if any, and (subject to Section 3.08) interest on such Debt Security on the respective Stated Maturities expressed
in such Debt Security (or in the case of redemption or repayment, on the date for redemption or repayment, as the case may be) and to
institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates or redemption date, and such rights shall not
be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee.


 


(b)           Except
during the continuance of an Event of Default, in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the
truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee
and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision thereof
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 calculations
or other facts stated therein).


 


(c)           In
case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this

in the conduct of his or her own affairs.


 






    35 


     


    

 


(d)           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 or bad faith, except that:


 


(1)           this
Subsection (d) shall not be construed to limit the effect of Subsections (a) or (b) of this Section 8.01;


 


(2)           the
Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, unless it shall be

Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction
of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series relating to the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under
this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series.


 


(e)           No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability
in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds
for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.


 


(f)            Whether
or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording
protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 8.01.


 


Section
8.02.                   
Reliance on Documents, Opinions, etc. Subject to the provisions of Section 8.01,


 


(a)           the Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument,
opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond, debenture, note or other paper document 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 Company Request or Company

    36 


     


    

 


(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 or direction

indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred by it in compliance with such
request or direction;


 


(e)           the
Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized

Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument,
opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond, debenture, note, or other paper or document, unless requested in writing
to do so by the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of such Debt Securities then Outstanding; provided, however,
that the reasonable expenses of every such investigation shall be paid by the Company or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be repaid by
the Company upon demand; and provided, further, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs,
expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably
assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against
such expenses or liabilities as a condition to so proceeding;


 


(g)           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 liable or responsible for any misconduct (whether willful or unintentional), bad faith or negligence
on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder;


 


(h)           the
Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice or be charged with knowledge of any default or Event of Default unless written notice of such

Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Debt Securities and this Indenture;


 


(i)            the
rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including its right to be indemnified, are extended to,
and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to

permissive rights of the Trustee enumerated herein shall not be construed as duties.


 


(k)           in no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any
kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood
of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action or inaction;


 


(l)            the
Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the performance of its powers and duties hereunder; and


 






    37 


     


    

 


(m)          the
Trustee may request that the Company deliver a certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized
at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture.


 


Section
8.03.                   
No Responsibility for Recitals, etc. The recitals contained herein and in the Debt Securities (except in the
Trustee’s certificate of authentication) shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility
for the correctness of the same. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Debt
Securities of any series. The Trustee represents that it is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Indenture and perform its obligations
hereunder. Neither the Trustee nor the Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for the use or application by the Company or any Debt
Securities or the proceeds of any Debt Securities authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in conformity with the provisions of this
Indenture.


 


Section
8.04.                   
Trustee and Agents May Own Debt Securities. The Trustee, any paying agent, or any agent of the Trustee or the
Company under this Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Debt Securities of any series
with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee or such agent and, subject to Sections 8.08 and 8.13, if operative, may otherwise
deal with the Company and receive, collect, hold, and retain collections from the Company with the same rights it would have if it were
not the Trustee or such agent.


 


Section
8.05.                   
Moneys to be Held in Trust. Subject to the provisions of Section 13.04, all moneys received by the Trustee shall,
until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated
from other funds except to the extent required by law. Neither the Trustee nor any paying agent shall be under any liability for interest
on, or to invest, any moneys received by it hereunder except such as it may agree with the Company to pay thereon. So long as no Event
of Default with respect to the Debt Securities of any series shall have occurred and be continuing, all interest allowed on any such
moneys shall be paid from time to time upon the receipt of a Company Order.


 


Section
8.06.                   
Compensation and Expenses of Trustee. The Company covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time,
and the Trustee shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation
of a trustee of an express trust), and the Company will pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements
and advances 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 all persons not regularly in its employ and any amounts paid by the Trustee to
any Authenticating Agent pursuant to Section 8.14) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence,
willful misconduct or bad faith. The Company also covenants to indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss,
damage, claims, liability or expense incurred without negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on the part of the Trustee and arising
out of or in connection with this Indenture, including the acceptance or administration of this trust, or the performance of its duties
hereunder, including the current payment of all costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim of liability in the premises
and the reasonable costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company (including this Section). The obligations of the
Company under this Section 8.06 to compensate and indemnify the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for expenses, disbursements
and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder. Such additional indebtedness shall be secured by a lien prior to that
of the Debt Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the benefit
of the Holders of particular Debt Securities. In addition to, but without prejudice to its other rights under this indenture, when the
Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default specified in Section 7.01(e) or Section 7.01(f), the
expenses (including the reasonable charges and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute
expenses of administration under any applicable Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law.


 






    38 


     


    

 


“Trustee” for purposes of this Section
shall include any predecessor Trustee; provided, however, that the negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of any Trustee hereunder
shall not affect the rights of any other Trustee hereunder.


 


The provisions of this Section shall survive the
termination of this Indenture, the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee.


 


Section
8.07.                   
Officers’ Certificate as Evidence. Subject to the provisions of Section 8.01, whenever in the administration
of the provisions of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to
taking or omitting any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may,
in the absence of negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established
by an Officers’ Certificate conforming to the requirements of this Indenture delivered to the Trustee, and such Certificate, in
the absence of negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action
taken or omitted by it under the provisions of this Indenture upon the reliance thereof.


 


Section
8.08.                   
Conflicting Interest of Trustee. If the Trustee has or shall acquire any conflicting interest within the meaning
of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, the Trustee shall either eliminate such conflicting interest or resign in the manner provided by,
and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 and this Indenture.


 


Section
8.09.                   
Eligibility of Trustee. There shall at all times be a Trustee with respect to each series of Debt Securities
hereunder which shall be a Person organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or any state or territory thereof
or of the District of Columbia authorized under such laws to exercise trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least
$50,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by Federal, state, territorial, or District of Columbia authority and willing to act
as Trustee hereunder. If such Person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the
aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 8.09, the combined capital and surplus of such Person
shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any
time the Trustee with respect to any series of Debt Securities shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section
8.09, such Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.10.


 






    39 


     


    

 


Section
8.10.                   
Resignation or Removal of Trustee. (a) The Trustee may at any time resign with respect to any series of Debt
Securities by giving written notice by first class mail of such resignation to the Company and to the Holders of such series of Debt
Securities at their addresses as they shall appear on the Debt Security Register. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Company
shall promptly appoint a successor trustee with respect to such series by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the
Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee. If
no successor trustee with respect to such series shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 60 days after the
mailing of such notice of resignation to the Holders, the resigning Trustee may, at the expense of the Company, petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee, or any Holder of such series of Debt Securities who has been a bona
fide Holder of a Debt Security or Debt Securities of such series for at least six months may, subject to the provisions of Section 7.09,
on behalf of such Holder and all others similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor trustee with respect
to such series. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint such successor trustee.


 


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


 


(1)           the
Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of Section 8.08 after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has
been a bona fide Holder of a Debt Security or Debt Securities of such series for at least six months, unless the Trustee’s duty
to resign is stayed in accordance with the provisions of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939,


 


(2)           the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.09 and shall fail to resign after written
request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder of a note of such series, or


 


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


 


then, in any such case, the Company may remove the
Trustee with respect to such series and appoint a successor trustee for such series by Company Order, one copy of which Company Order
shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee, or, subject to the provisions of Section 7.09, any
Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Debt Security or Debt Securities of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of
such 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 with respect to such series. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe,
remove such Trustee and appoint such successor trustee. In addition, the Company may remove the Trustee with respect to Debt Securities
of any series without cause and appoint a successor Trustee in accordance with this Section 8.10, if the Company gives written notice
to the Trustee of such proposed removal at least 90 calendar days in advance of the proposed effective date of such removal.


 






    40 


     


    

 


(c)            The
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of any series may at any time remove the Trustee
with respect to such series by delivering to the Trustee so removed, to the successor trustee so appointed and to the Company the evidence
provided for in Section 9.01 of the action in that regard taken by the Holders, and nominate a successor Trustee which shall be deemed
appointed as successor Trustee unless within ten days after such nomination the Company objects thereto, in which case the Trustee so
removed or any Holder of a Debt Security or Debt Securities of such series, upon the terms and conditions and otherwise as in subsection
(a) of this Section 8.10 provided, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for an appointment of a successor Trustee with respect
to such series.


 


(d)           Any resignation or removal of the Trustee with respect to all or any series of Debt Securities and any appointment of a successor
Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.10 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor
Trustee as provided in Section 8.11.


 


Section
8.11.                   
Acceptance by Successor Trustee. Any successor Trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.10 shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to its predecessor Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon
the resignation or removal of the predecessor Trustee shall become effective with respect to all or any series as to which it is resigning
as Trustee, and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers,
duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder with respect to all or any such series, with like effect as if originally named as
Trustee herein with respect to all or any such series; nevertheless, on the written request of the Company or of the successor Trustee,
the Trustee ceasing to act shall, upon payment of any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.06, execute and deliver
an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights and powers of the Trustee with respect to all or any such series
so ceasing to act. Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments in writing for more
fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights and powers. Any Trustee ceasing to act shall,
nevertheless, retain a lien upon all property or funds held or collected by such Trustee with respect to all or any series as to which
it is resigning as Trustee, to secure any amounts and shall be entitled to any indemnities then due it pursuant to the provisions of
Section 8.06.


 


No successor Trustee shall accept appointment as
provided in this Section 8.11 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified under the provisions of
Section 8.08 and eligible under the provisions of Section 8.09.


 


Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee
with respect to all or any series of Debt Securities as provided in this Section 8.11, the Company shall mail notice of the succession
of such Trustee hereunder to the Holders of Debt Securities of such series at their addresses as they shall appear on the Debt Security
Register. If the Company fails to mail such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee, the successor
Trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Company.


 






    41 


     


    

 


In case the appointment hereunder of a successor
Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor
Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of any applicable series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto which
shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the
retiring Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of any series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to
be vested in the retiring Trustee, and shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide
for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such
supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be Trustee of a trust
or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee.


 


Section
8.12.                   
Succession by Merger, etc. Subject to Sections 8.08 and 8.09, any Person into which the Trustee may be merged
or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the
Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be
the successor of the Trustee hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties
hereto.


 


In case at the time any successor to the
Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Debt Securities shall have been authenticated but not
delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee, and deliver
such Debt Securities so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Debt Securities shall not have been authenticated, any
successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Debt Securities in the name of such successor Trustee; and in all such cases such
certificate shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Debt Securities or in this Indenture provided that the certificate
of the Trustee shall have.


 


Section
8.13.                   
Limitation on Rights of Trustee as a Creditor. If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the
Company (or any other obligor upon the Debt Securities), the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act of
1939 regarding the collection of claims against the Company (or any such other obligor).


 






    42 


     


    

 


Section
8.14.                   
Authenticating Agents. There may be an Authenticating Agent or Authenticating Agents appointed by the Trustee
from time to time with power to act on its behalf and subject to its direction in the authentication and delivery of any series of Debt
Securities issued upon original issuance, exchange, transfer or redemption thereof as fully to all intents and purposes as though such
Authenticating Agent (or Authenticating Agents) had been expressly authorized to authenticate and deliver such Debt Securities, and Debt
Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as
though authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. For all purposes of this Indenture, the authentication and delivery of Debt Securities
by any Authenticating Agent pursuant to this Section 8.14 shall be deemed to be the authentication and delivery of such Debt Securities
 “by the Trustee”, and whenever this Indenture provides that “the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver” Debt
Securities or that Debt Securities “shall have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee”, such authentication and
delivery by any Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be authentication and delivery by the Trustee. Any such Authenticating Agent
shall at all times be a Person organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state or territory
thereof or the District of Columbia, with a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and authorized under such laws to act
as an authenticating agent, duly registered to act as such, if and to the extent required by applicable law and subject to supervision
or examination by Federal or state authority. If such Person publishes reports of its condition at least annually pursuant to law or
the requirements of such authority, then for the purposes of this Section 8.14 the combined capital and surplus of such Person shall
be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an
Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.14, or to be duly registered if and
to the extent required by applicable law and regulations, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect herein specified
in this Section 8.14.


 


Whenever reference is made in this Indenture to
the authentication and delivery of Debt Securities of any series by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication,
such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by its Authenticating Agent appointed with
respect to the Debt Securities of such series and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by its Authenticating
Agent appointed with respect to the Debt Securities of such series.


 


Any Person into which any Authenticating Agent
may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, consolidation or conversion
to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the authenticating agency business of any Authenticating
Agent, shall be the successor of such Authenticating Agent hereunder, if such successor Person is otherwise eligible under this Section
8.14, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the parties hereto or such Authenticating Agent or
such successor Person.


 


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


 






    43 


     


    

 


Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign
as Authenticating Agent with respect to any series of Debt Securities by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee and to the
Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent with respect to any series of Debt Securities by
giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon
such a termination, or in case at any time Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible under this Section 8.14, the Trustee may, and
shall, upon request of the Company, promptly use its best efforts to appoint a successor Authenticating Agent.


 


Upon the appointment, at any time after the original
issuance of any of the Debt Securities, of any successor, additional or new Authenticating Agent, the Trustee shall give written notice
of such appointment to the Company and shall at the expense of the Company mail notice of such appointment to all Holders of Debt Securities
of such series as the names and addresses of such Holders appear on the Debt Security Register.


 


Any successor Authenticating Agent with respect
to any series of Debt Securities upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties
of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as though originally named as an Authenticating Agent herein with respect to such series.
No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section 8.14 and duly registered if
and to the extent required under applicable law and regulations.


 


Any Authenticating Agent by the acceptance of
its appointment with respect to any series of Debt Securities shall be deemed to have agreed with the Trustee that: (a) it will
perform and carry out the duties of an Authenticating Agent as herein set forth with respect to such series, including the duties to
authenticate and deliver Debt Securities when presented to it in connection with exchanges, registrations of transfer or redemptions
thereof; (b) it will keep and maintain, and furnish to the Trustee from time to time as requested by the Trustee appropriate records
of all transactions carried out by it as Authenticating Agent and will furnish the Trustee such other information and reports as the
Trustee may reasonably require; (c) it is eligible for appointment as Authenticating Agent under this Section 8.14 and will notify
the Trustee promptly if it shall cease to be so qualified; and (d) it will indemnify the Trustee against any loss, liability or
expense incurred by the Trustee and will defend any claim asserted against the Trustee by reason of any acts or failures to act of
the Authenticating Agent with respect to such series but it shall have no liability for any action taken by it at the specific
written direction of the Trustee.


 


The Company agrees to pay to each Authenticating
Agent from time to time reasonable compensation and expenses for its services, and the Trustee shall have no liability for such payments.


 


The provisions of Sections 8.02(a), (b), (c), (e)
and (f), 8.03, 8.04, 8.06 (insofar as it pertains to indemnification), 9.01, 9.02 and 9.03 shall bind and inure to the benefit of each
Authenticating Agent to the same extent that they bind and inure to the benefit of the Trustee.


 






    44 


     


    





  


If an appointment with respect to one or more series
is made pursuant to this Section 8.14, the Debt Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s
certificate of authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication in the following form:


 


This is one of the Debt Securities of the series designated herein
issued under the within-mentioned Indenture.

Section
8.15.                   
Trustee's Application for Instructions from the Company. Any application by the Trustee for written instructions
from the Company may, at the option of the Trustee, set forth in writing any action proposed to be taken or omitted by the Trustee under
this Indenture and the date on and/or after which such action shall be taken or such omission shall be effective. The Trustee shall not
be liable for any action taken by, or omission of, the Trustee in accordance with a proposal included in such application on or after
the date specified in such application (which date shall not be less than three Business Days after the date any officer of the Company
actually receives such application, unless any such officer shall have consented in writing to any earlier date) unless prior to taking
any such action (or the effective date in the case of an omission), the Trustee shall have received written instructions in response
to such application specifying the action to be taken or omitted.


 


Article
9.

Concerning the Holders.


 


Section
9.01.                   
Action by Holders. Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the Holders of a specified percentage in aggregate
principal amount of the Debt Securities of any 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 specified percentage of such series have joined therein may be evidenced (a) by any instrument or any number of instruments of similar
tenor executed by Holders of such series in person or by agent or proxy appointed in writing, or (b) by the record of the Holders of
such series voting in favor thereof at any meeting of such Holders duly called and held in accordance with the provisions of Article
Ten, or (c) by a combination of such instrument or instruments and any such record of such a meeting of Holders of such series.


 






    45 


     


    

 


Section
9.02.                 
Proof of Execution by Holders. Subject
to the provisions of Sections 8.01, 8.02 and 10.05, proof of the execution of any instrument by a Holder or such Holder’s agent
or proxy shall be sufficient if made in accordance with such reasonable rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the Trustee or
in such manner as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee. The ownership of Debt Securities shall be provided by the Debt Security Register
or by a certificate of the Debt Security Registrar with respect to a series of Debt Securities.


 


The record of any Holders’ meeting shall
be proved in the manner provided in Section 10.06.


 


Section
9.03.                 
Who Are Deemed Absolute Owners. The Company, the Trustee with respect to a series of Debt Securities, and any agent
of the Trustee or the Company under this Indenture may deem the Person in whose name such Debt Security shall be registered upon the
Debt Security Register to be, and may treat such Person as, the absolute owner of such Debt Security (whether or not such Debt Security
shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon made by anyone other than the Company, the Trustee
or any such agent) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on such
Debt Security and for all other purposes; and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by any notice
to the contrary. All such payments so made to any Holder for the time being or upon such Holder’s order shall, to the extent of
the sum or sums so paid, be effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for moneys payable upon any such Debt Security.


 


Section
9.04.                 
Company-Owned Debt Securities Disregarded. In determining whether the Holders of the requisite aggregate principal
amount of Debt Securities of any series have concurred in any direction or consent under this Indenture, Debt Securities of such series
which are owned by the Company or any other obligor upon such Debt Securities or any Affiliate of the Company or such other obligor (except
in the case in which the Company or such other obligor or affiliate owns all Debt Securities Outstanding under the Indenture, or all
Outstanding Debt Securities of each such series, as the case may be, without regard to this proviso) shall be disregarded and deemed
not to be Outstanding for the purpose of any such determinations; provided, however, that for the purposes of determining
whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction or consent only such Debt Securities which a Responsible Officer
of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Debt Securities so owned which have been pledged in good faith may
be regarded as Outstanding notwithstanding this Section 9.04 if the pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee the right
of the pledgee to vote such Debt Securities and that the pledgee is not a Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by
or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any such other obligor. Upon request of the Trustee, the Company shall
furnish to the Trustee promptly an Officers’ Certificate listing and identifying all Debt Securities of a series, if any, known
by the Company to be owned or held by or for the account of the Company or any other obligor on such Debt Securities or by any Person
directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any other obligor
on such Debt Securities; and, subject to the provisions of Section 8.01, the Trustee shall be entitled to accept such Officers’
Certificates as conclusive evidence of the facts therein set forth and of the fact that all such Debt Securities not listed therein are
Outstanding for the purpose of any such determination.


 






    46 


     


    

 


Section
9.05.                 
Revocation of Consents; Future Holders Bound. At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as
provided in Section 9.01, of the taking of any action by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities
of any series specified in this Indenture in connection with such action, any Holder of a Debt Security which is shown by the evidence
to be included in the Debt Securities the Holders of which have consented to or are bound by consents to such action, may, by filing
written notice with the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office and upon proof of holding as provided in Section 9.02, revoke such action
so far as concerns such Debt Security. Except as aforesaid any such action taken by the Holder of any Debt Security shall be conclusive
and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of such Debt Security and of any Debt Security issued on transfer
thereof or in exchange or substitution therefor, irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard thereto is made upon any such
Debt Security. Any action taken by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities specified in this
Indenture in connection with such action shall be conclusively binding upon the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of all of the Debt
Securities affected by such action.


 


Section
9.06.                 
Record Dates. If the Company shall solicit from the Holders of Debt Securities any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, the Company may, at its option, in or pursuant to a Board Resolution, fix in advance
a record date for the determination of Holders entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or other action, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so. Such record date shall be the record date specified in or pursuant
to such Board Resolution, which shall be a date not earlier than the date 30 days prior to the first solicitation of Holders generally
in connection therewith and not later than the date such solicitation is completed. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action may be given before or after such record date, but only the Holders
of record at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the purposes of determining whether Holders
of the requisite proportion of Outstanding Debt Securities have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, and for that purpose the Outstanding Debt Securities shall be computed as of such
record date; provided that no such authorization, agreement or consent by the Holders on such record date shall
be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than eleven months after
the record date.

Section
10.02.               
Call of Meetings by Trustee. The Trustee may at any time call a meeting of Holders of Debt Securities of all or any
series to take any action specified in Section 10.01, to be held at such time and at such place as the Trustee shall determine. Notice
of every meeting of the Holders of Debt Securities of all or any series, setting forth the time and place of such meeting and in general
terms the action proposed to be taken at such meeting, shall be mailed by the Trustee to Holders of Debt Securities of each series that
may be affected by the action proposed to be taken at such meeting at their addresses as they shall appear on the Debt Security Register.
Such notice shall be mailed not less than 20 nor more than 90 days prior to the date fixed for the meeting.


 


Section
10.03.               
Call of Meetings by Company or Holders. In case at any time the Company, pursuant to a resolution by the Board
of Directors, or the Holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities then Outstanding of each series that
may be affected by the action proposed to be taken shall have requested the Trustee to call a meeting of such Holders, by written request
setting forth in reasonable detail the action proposed to be taken at the meeting, and the Trustee shall not have mailed the notice of
such meeting within 20 days after receipt of such request, then the Company or such Holders may determine the time and place for such
meeting and may call such meeting to take any action authorized in Section 10.01, by mailing notice thereof as provided in Section 10.02.


 


Section
10.04.

meeting and their counsel, any representatives of the Trustee and its counsel and any representatives of the Company and its counsel.


 






    48 


     


    

 


Section
10.05.               
Regulations. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee may make such reasonable regulations
as it may deem advisable for any meeting of Holders of Debt Securities, in regard to proof of the holding of Debt Securities and of the
appointment of proxies, and in regard to the appointment and duties of inspectors of votes, the submission and examination of proxies,
certificates and other evidence of the right to vote, and such other matters concerning the conduct of the meeting as it shall think
fit. Except as otherwise permitted or required by any such regulation, the holding of Debt Securities shall be proved in the manner specified
in Section 9.02 and the appointment of any proxy shall be proved in the manner specified in said Section 9.02 or by having the signature
of the Person executing the proxy witnessed or guaranteed by any bank, broker or trust company.


 


The Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing,
appoint a temporary chairman of the meeting, unless the meeting shall have been called by the Company or by Holders of Debt Securities
as provided in Section 10.03, in which case the Company or the Holders of Debt Securities calling the meeting, as the case may be, shall
in like manner appoint a temporary chairman. A permanent chairman and a secretary of the meeting shall be elected by vote of the Holders
of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities represented at the meeting and entitled to vote.


 


Subject to the provisions of Section 9.04, at any
meeting each Holder of a Debt Security of a series entitled to vote at such meeting or proxy shall be entitled to one vote for each $1,000
principal amount of Debt Securities of such series held or represented by such Holder; provided, however, that no vote shall
be cast or counted at any meeting in respect of any Debt Security challenged as not Outstanding and ruled by the chairman of the meeting

At any meeting of Holders of Debt Securities, the
presence of Persons holding or representing Debt Securities in an aggregate principal amount sufficient to take action upon the business
for the transaction of which such meeting was called shall be necessary to constitute a quorum; but, if less than quorum be present, the
Persons holding or representing a majority of the Debt Securities represented at the meeting may adjourn such meeting with the same effect,
for all intents and purposes, as though a quorum had been present.


 


Section
10.06.

on which shall be subscribed the signatures of the Holders of Debt Securities entitled to vote at such meeting or of their representatives
by proxy, and the letter or letters, serial number or numbers or other distinguishing marks of the Debt Securities held or represented
by each such Holder. The permanent chairman of the meeting shall appoint two inspectors of votes who shall count all votes cast at the
meeting for or against any resolution and who shall make and file with the secretary of the meeting their verified written reports in
duplicate of all votes cast at the meeting. A record in duplicate of the proceedings of each meeting of Holders of Debt Securities shall

on any vote by ballot taken thereat and affidavits by one or more persons having knowledge of the facts setting forth a copy of the notice
of the meeting and showing that said notice was mailed as provided in Section 10.02. The record shall be signed and verified by the affidavits
of the permanent chairman and secretary of the meeting and one of the duplicates shall be delivered to the Company and the other to the
Trustee to be preserved by the Trustee, the latter to have attached thereto the ballots voted at the meeting.


  


Any record so signed and verified shall be conclusive
evidence of the matters therein stated.


 


Section
10.07.               
No Delay of Rights by Meeting. Nothing in this Article Ten contained shall be deemed or construed to authorize or permit,
by reason of any call of a meeting of Holders of Debt Securities of any or all series or any rights expressly or impliedly conferred

Supplemental Indentures.


 


Section
11.01.               
Supplemental Indentures without Consent of Holders. The Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee
may from time to time and at any time enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto (which shall conform to the provisions
of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 as in force at the date of the execution thereof) for one or more of the following purposes:


 


(a)              
to evidence the succession of another Person to the Company, or successive successions, and the assumption by the successor Person
of the covenants, agreements and obligations of the Company pursuant to Articles Five and Twelve hereof;


 


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


  


(c)              
to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision contained herein or in any supplemental indenture which may be
defective or inconsistent with any other provision contained herein or in any supplemental indenture or to make any changes hereto that
are required by law;


 


(d)              
to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge any property to or with the Trustee;


 


(e)              
to make such other provisions, changes, additions or deletions in regard to matters or questions arising under this Indenture as
shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of the Debt Securities in any material respect (for the avoidance of doubt, any
amendment or supplement pursuant to this clause (e) made solely to conform this Indenture to the final offering memorandum provided to
investors in connection with the offering of the Debt Securities by the Company will not be deemed to materially and adversely affect
the interests of the Holders of Debt Securities of any series);


 


(f)               
to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment by another Person as a successor Trustee hereunder with respect to one
or more series of Debt Securities and to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for
or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, pursuant to Section 8.11;


 






    50 


     


    

 


(g)              
to modify, amend or supplement this Indenture in such a manner as to permit the qualification of any indenture supplemental hereto
under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 as then in effect, except that nothing herein contained shall permit or authorize the inclusion
in any indenture supplemental hereto of the provisions referred to in Section 316(a)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939;


 


(h)              
to provide for the issuance under this Indenture of Debt Securities in coupon form (including Debt Securities registrable as to
principal only) and to provide for exchangeability of such Debt Securities with Debt Securities of the same series issued hereunder in
fully registered form and to make all appropriate changes for such purpose;


 


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


 


(j)                
to establish any additional form of Debt Security, as permitted by Section 2.02, and to provide for the issuance of any additional
series of Debt Securities, as permitted by Section 3.01, and to set forth the terms thereof.


 


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


  


Any supplemental indenture authorized by the provisions
of this Section 11.01 may be executed by the Company and the Trustee without the consent of the Holders of any of the Debt Securities
at the time Outstanding, notwithstanding any of the provisions of Section 11.02.


 


Section
11.02.               
Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Holders. With the written consent (evidenced as provided in Section 9.01) of
the Holders of greater than 50% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of each series affected by such supplemental
indenture (all such Holders voting as a single class), by act of said Holders delivered to the Company and the Trustee, the Company,
when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental
hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or
of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Debt Securities of each series under this
Indenture; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the written consent of the Holders of
all of the Outstanding Debt Securities of each series directly and adversely affected thereby, (a) extend the fixed maturity of any Debt
Security of such series, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce the principal amount thereof
or any premium thereon, or make the principal thereof or interest or premium thereon payable in any coin or currency other than that
provided in the Debt Securities of such series, or change any place of payment where, or the currency in which, any Debt Security or
any premium or interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after
the Stated Maturity thereof (or, in the case of redemption or repayment at the option of the Holder, on or after the Redemption Date)
or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Debt Securities of a series, the Holders of which are required to consent (1) to any such supplemental
indenture, (2) to rescind and annul a declaration that any Debt Securities of such series are due and payable as a result of the occurrence
of an Event of Default, (3) to waive any past default under the Indenture and its consequences or (4) to waive compliance with Sections
5.02, 5.04 (other than 5.04(a)(1) and (2)) or 5.05, or with any additional covenant, agreement or condition contained in a Board Resolution
or Officers’ Certificate establishing such series of Debt Securities, any indenture supplemental hereto applicable to such series
or any Debt Security of such series.


 






    51 


     


    

 


Upon the Trustee’s receipt of a Company Request,
accompanied by a copy of a Board Resolution certified by its Secretary or Assistant Secretary authorizing the execution of any such supplemental
indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of Holders of Debt Securities 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, benefits, privileges, protections, indemnities or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee
may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such supplemental indenture.


 


It shall not be necessary for the consent of the
Holders of Debt Securities under this Section 11.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall
be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof.


 


Section
11.03.               
Effect of Supplemental Indentures. Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this
Article Eleven, this Indenture shall be and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith and the respective rights, limitation
of rights, obligations, duties and immunities under this Indenture of the Trustee, the Company and the Holders of Debt Securities shall
thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments and all the terms
