      other than the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company) shall have no further liability for the money.  If the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of
      Securityholders of any Series of Securities all money held by it as Paying Agent.

     

    Section 2.6.          Securityholder Lists.

     

    The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Securityholders of each Series of Securities and shall
      otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a).  If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee at least ten days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing a list, in such form
      and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of Securityholders of each Series of Securities, and the Company shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a).

     

    Section 2.7.          Transfer and Exchange.

     

    Where Securities of a Series are presented to the Registrar or a co-registrar with a request to register a transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Securities of the same Series,
      the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange if the requirements for such transactions set forth in this Indenture are met.  To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Trustee shall authenticate Securities at the
      Registrar’s request upon the Trustee’s receipt of a Company Order from the Company.  No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax,
      assessment or other  governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration or transfer or exchange of Securities, other than those expressly provided in this Indenture, to be made at the Company’s own expense or without expense
      or charge to the Holders. The transfer of any Security shall not be valid against the Company or the Trustee unless registered at the Registrar at the request of the Holder, or at the request of his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing.

     

    Neither the Company nor the Registrar shall be required (a) to issue, register the transfer of, or exchange Securities of any Series for the period beginning at the opening of business fifteen days
      immediately preceding the delivery of a notice of redemption of Securities of that Series selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of such delivery, or (b) to register the transfer of or exchange Securities of any Series
      selected, called or being called for redemption as a whole or the portion being redeemed of any such Securities selected, called or being called for redemption in part.

     

    
      13

      
        


    

    In the event that a Surviving Entity (as defined in Section 6.1) has executed an indenture supplemental hereto with the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.1, any of the Securities authenticated or
      delivered pursuant to such transaction may, from time to time, at the request of the Surviving Entity, be exchanged for other Securities executed in the name of the Surviving Entity with such changes in phraseology and form as may be appropriate, but
      otherwise identical to the Securities surrendered for such exchange and of like principal amount; and the Trustee, upon Company Order of the Surviving Entity, shall authenticate and deliver Securities as specified in such Company Order for the
      purpose of such exchange.  If Securities shall at any time be authenticated and delivered in any new name of a Surviving Entity pursuant to this Section 2.7 in exchange or substitution for or upon registration of transfer of any Securities, such
      Surviving Entity, at the option of the Holders but without expense to them, shall provide for the exchange of all Securities at the time Outstanding for Securities authenticated and delivered in such new name.

     

    Section 2.8.          Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.

     

    If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and upon receipt of a Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security
      of the same Series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

     

    If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required
      by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon receipt of a Company
      Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same Series and of like tenor, form, terms and principal amount and bearing a number not
      contemporaneously outstanding, and neither gain nor loss in interest shall result from such exchange or substitution.

     

    In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay the amount
      due on such Security in accordance with its terms.

     

    Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section 2.8, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation
      thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.

     

    Every new Security of any Series issued pursuant to this Section 2.8 in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company
      whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of that Series duly issued
      hereunder.

     

    
      14

      
        


    

    The provisions of this Section 2.8 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or
      stolen Securities.

     

    Section 2.9.          Outstanding Securities.

     

    The Securities “outstanding” at any time are all the Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest
      on a Security, if applicable, effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof and those described in this Section 2.9 as not outstanding.

     

    If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.8, it ceases to be outstanding until the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Security is held by a protected purchaser.

     

    If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary of the Company or an Affiliate of the Company) holds on the Maturity of Securities of a Series money sufficient to pay such Securities
      payable on that date, then on and after that date such Securities of the Series cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.

     

    The Company may purchase or otherwise acquire the Securities, whether by open market purchases, negotiated transactions or otherwise.  A Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company
      or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Security.

     

    In determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of outstanding Securities have given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, the
      principal amount of a Discount Security that shall be deemed to be outstanding for such purposes shall be the amount of the principal thereof that would be due and payable as of the date of such determination upon a declaration of acceleration of the
      Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 7.2.

     

    Section 2.10.        Treasury Securities.

     

    In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Securities of a Series have concurred in any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver, Securities of
      a Series owned by the Company or any Affiliate of the Company shall be disregarded, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent
      or waiver only Securities of a Series that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded.

     

    Section 2.11.        Temporary Securities.

     

    Until definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities upon a Company Order.  Temporary Securities shall be substantially
      in the form of definitive Securities but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities.  Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee upon request shall authenticate definitive Securities
      of the same Series and 

     

    

    
      15

      
        


    

    date of Maturity in exchange for temporary Securities.  Until so exchanged, temporary Securities shall have the same rights under this Indenture as the definitive Securities.

     

    Section 2.12.        Cancellation.

     

    The Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation.  The Agents shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or
      payment.  The Trustee shall cancel all Securities surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall destroy such canceled Securities (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act) and deliver a
      certificate of such destruction to the Company unless the Company otherwise directs the Trustee in writing.  The Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities that it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

     

    Section 2.13.        Defaulted Interest.

     

    (a)        If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on a Series of Securities, it shall pay the defaulted interest (herein called “Defaulted Interest”), plus, to the extent permitted by law,
      any interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Securityholders of the Series on either of the following manners contemplated on (i) or (ii) below:

     

    (i)          The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names such Securities (or their respective predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of
      business on a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest (a “Special Record Date”), which shall be fixed in the following manner.  The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed
      to be paid on each such Security and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall
      make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. 
      Thereupon the Company, in consultation with the Trustee, shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 calendar days and not less than 10 calendar days prior to the date of the proposed
      payment and not less than 10 calendar days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment.  The Trustee shall promptly thereafter, in the name and at the expense of the Company, cause notice of the proposed payment of such
      Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be transmitted to the Holders of such Securities at their addresses as they appear in the register, not less than 10 calendar days prior to such Special Record Date.  Notice of the proposed
      payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been transmitted as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names such Securities (or their respective predecessor Securities) are
      registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (ii).

     

    (ii)         The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on Securities in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Securities
      may be listed or of any automated quotation system on which 

     

    

    
      16

      
        


    

    any such Securities may be quoted, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange or quotation system, as applicable, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to
      this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

     

    (b)          Subject to the foregoing provisions in this Section 2.13, each Security delivered under this Indenture in exchange or substitution for, or upon registration of transfer of, any other
      Security shall carry all the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security.

     

    Section 2.14.        Global Securities.

     

    2.14.1.     Terms of Securities.  Either (i) a
        Board Resolution and an Officer’s Certificate or (ii) a supplemental indenture shall establish whether the Securities of a Series shall be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Securities and the Depositary for such Global
        Security or Securities.

     

    2.14.2.       Transfer and Exchange. 
        Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained in Section 2.7 of this Indenture and in addition thereto, any Global Security shall be exchangeable pursuant to Section 2.7 of this Indenture for Certificated Securities registered in the
        names of Holders other than the Depositary for such Security or its nominee only if (i) such Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or if at any time such Depositary ceases
        to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and, in either case, the Company fails to appoint a successor Depositary registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act within 90 days of such event or (ii) the Company executes and
        delivers to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that such Global Security shall be so exchangeable.  Any Global Security that is exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be exchangeable for Certificated Securities
        registered in such names as the Depositary shall direct in writing in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security with like tenor and terms.

     

    Except as provided in this Section 2.14.2, a Global Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary with respect to such Global Security to a nominee of such Depositary, by a
      nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such a successor Depositary.

     

    Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall have any obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any tax or securities laws with respect to any restrictions on transfer
      imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law (including any transfers between or among Depositary participants, members or beneficial owners in any Global Security) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation
      or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

     

    
      17

      
        


    

    2.14.3.       Legend.  Any Global Security issued
        hereunder shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:

     

    “THIS SECURITY IS A GLOBAL SECURITY WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE INDENTURE HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AND IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF THE DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY.  THIS SECURITY IS
      EXCHANGEABLE FOR SECURITIES REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF A PERSON OTHER THAN THE DEPOSITARY OR ITS NOMINEE ONLY IN THE LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES DESCRIBED IN THE INDENTURE, AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT AS A WHOLE BY THE DEPOSITARY TO A NOMINEE OF THE
      DEPOSITARY, BY A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY TO THE DEPOSITARY OR ANOTHER NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY THE DEPOSITARY OR ANY SUCH NOMINEE TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE OF SUCH A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY.”

     

    2.14.4.     Acts of Holders.  The Depositary, as a
        Holder, may appoint agents and otherwise authorize participants to give or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action which a Holder is entitled to give or take under this Indenture.

     

    2.14.5.       Payments.  Notwithstanding the other
        provisions of this Indenture, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.2, payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on any Global Security shall be made to the Holder thereof, which in the case of a Depositary therefor will
        be made in accordance with its applicable procedures.

     

    2.14.6.       Holders.  The Company, the Trustee
        and each Agent shall treat the Person in whose name any Security is registered in the register maintained by the Registrar as the Holder for all purposes including for purposes of obtaining any consents, declarations, waivers or directions
        permitted or required to be given by the Holders pursuant to this Indenture.

     

    If the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Security is payable in a foreign currency and such currency is not available to the Company for
      making payment thereof due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Company, the Company shall be entitled to satisfy its obligations to Holders of the Securities by making such payment in U.S. Dollars
      in an amount equivalent of the amount payable in such other currency at the Exchange Rate as determined pursuant to following paragraph.  Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary herein, any payment made under such circumstances in U.S. Dollars
      where the required payment is in a Currency other than U.S. Dollars shall not constitute an Event of Default under this Indenture.

     

    

    Any decision or determination to be made regarding the Exchange Rate shall be made by the Company or an agent appointed by the Company (the Company, in
      such capacity, or such agent, the “Currency Determination Agent”); provided that such agent shall accept such appointment in writing and the terms of such appointment shall, in the opinion of the Company at the time of such
      appointment, require such agent to make such determination by a method consistent with the method provided pursuant to Section 2.1 for the making of such decision or determination.  Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.1, 

     

    

    
      18

      
        


    

    “Exchange Rate” shall mean, for any currency, the noon buying rate in New York City for cable transfers for such currency as the applicable Exchange Rate, as such rate
      is reported or otherwise made available by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on the date of such payment, or, if such rate is not then available, on the basis of the most recently available rate.  All decisions and determinations of such agent
      regarding the Exchange Rate shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and irrevocably binding upon the Company, the Trustee and all Holders of the Securities.

     

    2.14.7.      None of the Trustee or any Agent shall have any responsibility or obligation to any
        beneficial owner of an interest in a Global Security, a member of, or a participant in, the Depositary or other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depositary or its nominee or of any participant or member thereof, with
        respect to any ownership interest in the Securities or with respect to the delivery to any participant, member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than the Depositary) of any notice (including any notice of redemption) or the payment of any
        amount or delivery of any Securities (or other security or property) under or with respect to such Securities.  All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders in respect of the Securities shall be
        given or made only to or upon the order of the registered Holders (which shall be the Depositary or its nominee in the case of a Global Security).  The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Security shall be exercised only through the
        Depositary subject to the applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary.  The Trustee and each Agent may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depositary with respect to its members, participants and any
        beneficial owners.

    MercadoLibre, Inc., a Delaware corporation (herein called the “Company,” which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received,
      hereby promises to pay to ......................................., or registered assigns, the principal sum of ................................ Dollars as revised by the Schedule of Increases and Decreases in Global Note attached hereto on
      ..................................................... (unless earlier redeemed, in which case, on the applicable redemption date) [if the Security is to bear interest prior to
        maturity, insert — , and to pay interest thereon from ............. or from the most recent interest payment date to which interest has been paid or duly pro-vided for semi-annually in arrears on ............ and ............ of each year,
      commencing on ........., and at the maturity thereof, at the rate of ....% per annum, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment [if applicable, insert —
        ; provided that any principal, premium and any such installment of interest, which is overdue shall bear interest at the rate of ...% per annum (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be 

     

    

    
      19

      
        


    

    legally enforceable), from the date such amount is due to the day it is paid or made available for payment, and such overdue interest shall be paid as provided in Section 2.13 of the Indenture].

     

    The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any interest payment date shall, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security is registered at the close of
      business on the record date for such interest, which shall be the ....... and ....... (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such interest payment date. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for on any
      interest payment date shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant record date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of
      such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities of this series not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with
      the requirements of any securities exchange on which this Security may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.

     

    Interest on the Securities shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

     

    Payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Security will be made pursuant to the applicable procedures of the Depositary as permitted in the Indenture; provided,
      however, that if this Security is not a Global Security, payment may be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in New York, New York, in such coin or currency of the United
      States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts, against surrender of this Security in the case of any payment due at the Maturity of the principal thereof; and provided,







        further, that at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Note Register.

     

    Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Security set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

     

    Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof by manual or electronic signature, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture
      or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

     

    In Witness Whereof, the Company has caused this instrument to be duly executed.

    Section 2.16.        Form of Reverse of Security.  This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company
      (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of ............., 20............. (herein called the
      “Indenture,” which term shall have the meaning assigned to it in such instrument), between the Company, the Initial Guarantors, and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which
      term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of
      the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof [if
        applicable, insert — , limited in aggregate principal amount to U.S.$...........].

     

    [If applicable, insert — Additional Securities on terms
        and conditions identical to those of the Securities of this series (except for issue date, issue price and the date from which interest shall accrue and, if applicable, first be paid) may be issued by the Company without the consent of the Holders
        of the Securities of this series.  The amount evidenced by such additional Securities shall increase the aggregate principal amount of, and shall be consolidated and form a single series with, the Securities of this series, in which case the
        Schedule of Increases and Decreases in Global Note attached hereto will be correspondingly adjusted.]

     

    In any case where any interest payment date, redemption date or Stated Maturity of any Note shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture or of the Securities) payment of
      principal, premium, if any, or interest need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the interest payment date, redemption date or at the Stated Maturity, as the case
      may be; provided that no interest shall accrue for the period from and after such interest payment date, redemption date or Stated Maturity, as the case may be.

     

    The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, without the consent of any Holder of Securities of a Series, the Company, any Guarantor of the Securities of a Series, if applicable, and the Trustee to
      amend, modify or supplement this Indenture or any supplemental indenture, such Series of Securities or any Guarantee of such Series of Securities.  The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
      Securities of a Series at the time outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of that Series, to amend or supplement to, or waive certain Defaults or Events of Default and its consequences or compliance with any provision of, the
      Indenture or Securities of a Series or any applicable Guarantee of a Series of Securities, except that certain amendments cannot be given without the consent of each Holder affected thereby. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security
      shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or
      waiver is made upon this Security.

      less than 25% in principal amount of the Securities of this series at the time outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee indemnity
      satisfactory to it, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any
      such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or premium, if any,

     ARTICLE III.

     GUARANTEES

    

    

    Section 3.1.          Guarantee.

     

    (a)          Other than as set forth herein or in any supplemental indenture, the Company shall have the right to designate,
        in its sole discretion, any Subsidiary as a Guarantor of the Securities of any Series.

     

    (b)          Subject to this Section 3.1, each Guarantor of Securities of any
        Series hereby unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of Securities of such Series authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of the Indenture, the
        Securities or the obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, that:

     

    (A)         the principal of, premium on, if any, and interest, if any, on, the Securities of such Series and all other
        amounts payable by the Company under the Indenture will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of, premium on, if any, and interest, if any, on, the
        Securities of such Series, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder (such guaranteed obligations, the “Guaranteed
        Obligations”) will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and

     

    (B)         in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Securities of such Series or any of such other
        obligations, that same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.

     

    
      24

      
        


    

    Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors will be obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that its Guarantee is a
      guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.

      

    

    (c)          Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations under its Guarantee are unconditional, irrespective of the
        validity, regularity or enforceability of the Securities or the Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Securities or the Trustee with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the
        recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of such Guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence,
        presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that its
        Guarantee will not be discharged with respect to the Securities except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Securities and the Indenture.

     

    (d)          If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, the Guarantors or
        any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Company or the Guarantors, any amount paid either to the Trustee or such Holder, each Guarantor’s Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, will be
        reinstated in full force and effect.

     

    (e)          Each Guarantor agrees that it will not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders with
        respect to the Securities in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby with respect to the Securities. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and
        the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (1) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article VII of this Indenture for the purposes of the Guarantors’ Guarantees, notwithstanding any stay,
        injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article VII of this Indenture, such obligations
        (whether or not due and payable) will forthwith become due and payable by any Guarantor for the purpose of such Guarantor’s Guarantee.

     

    (f)           Each of the Guarantors further expressly waives irrevocably and unconditionally:

     

    (1)          Any right it may have to first require any Holder to proceed against, initiate any actions before a court of
        law or any other judge or authority, or enforce any other rights or security or claim payment from the Company or any other Person (including any Guarantor or any other guarantor) before claiming from it under this Indenture;

     

    (2)          Any rights and benefits arising from Articles 775, 776, 777, 829, 830 and 831 (other than with respect to
        defenses or motions based on documented

    payment (pago), reduction (quita), extension (espera) or release or remission (remisión), 1583, 1584, 1585 and 1589 (beneficios de excusión y división), 1594, 1592, 1596 and 1598 of the Argentine Civil and Commercial Code;

     

    (3)          Any rights to the benefits of orden, excusión, división, quita and espera
        arising from Articles 2814, 2815, 2817, 2818, 2819, 2820, 2821, 2822, 2823, 2826, 2837, 2839, 2840, 2845, 2846, 2847 and any other related or applicable Articles that are not explicitly set forth herein because of the Guarantor’s knowledge thereof,
        of the Código Civil Federal of Mexico and the Código Civil of each State of the Mexican Republic and for the Federal District of Mexico;

      

    

    (4)        Any rights to the benefits of ordem arising from Article 827 and any other related or
        applicable Articles that are not explicitly set forth herein because of the Guarantor’s knowledge thereof, of the Brazilian Civil Code (Código Civil Brasileiro);

     

    (5)        Any rights to the beneficio







        de excusión contemplated in Section 2357 of the Chilean Civil Code (Código Civil de Chile), the beneficio de división contemplated in Section 2367 of the Chilean Civil Code; the right granted to any Guarantor incorporated under the laws of Chile under
        Section 2355 of the Chilean Civil Code; the right or possibility of withdraw upon the non-existence of the primary obligation, as contemplated by Section 2339 of the Chilean Civil Code and the right granted to any Guarantor incorporated under the
        laws of Chile by Section 1649 of the Chilean Civil Code in the case of mere extension of the term of the Securities;

    (6)          Any right to which it may be entitled to have the assets of the Company or any other Person (including any
        Guarantor or any other guarantor) first be used, applied or depleted as payment of the Company’s or the Guarantors’ obligations hereunder, prior to any amount being claimed from or paid by any of the Guarantors hereunder; and

     

    (7)          Any right to which it may be entitled to have claims hereunder divided between the Guarantors.

     

     

    Section 3.2.          Limitation on Guarantor Liability.

    

    

    (a)          Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Securities, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of
        all such parties that the Guarantee of any Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law
        to the extent applicable to its Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of the each Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount that will, after
        giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or
        conveyance.

     

     Section 3.3.          Execution and Delivery of Guarantee. The terms of the Guarantees set
        forth in Section 3.1 do not require any Guarantor to evidence its Guarantee through any notation 

     

      

    
      26

      
        


    

    of such Guarantee endorsed by an Officer of such Guarantor on each Security authenticated and delivered by the Trustee.

     

    The Guarantees set forth in Section 3.1 hereof will remain in full force and effect without any requirement to endorse on each Security a notation of such Guarantees.

     

    The delivery of any Securities by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof, will constitute due delivery of the Guarantees on behalf of each Guarantor.

     

     

    Section 3.4.          Releases.

    

    

    (1)          The Guarantee of a Guarantor shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged and shall
        thereupon terminate and be of no further force and effect, and no further action by such Guarantor, the Issuers or the Trustee is required for the release of such Guarantor’s Guarantee, upon:

     

    (A)         the sale, exchange, disposition or other transfer (including by way of consolidation or merger) of the
        Guarantor or the sale or disposition of all or substantially all the assets of the Guarantor (other than to the Company or a Subsidiary) otherwise permitted by the Indenture;

     

    (B)         a Legal Defeasance or a Covenant Defeasance of the Series of Securities pursuant to Article IX of this Indenture;

        the Triggering Indebtedness, in each case, that resulted in the obligation of such Subsidiary to become a Guarantor; provided that in no event shall the
        Guarantee of an Initial Guarantor terminate pursuant to this provision; or

     

    (E)         such Guarantor becoming an Excluded Subsidiary or ceasing to be a Subsidiary;

      

    

    provided, in each case, such transactions are carried out pursuant to
        and in accordance with all applicable covenants and provisions hereof.  At the option of the Company, the release of a Guarantor may be evidenced by the delivery of an Officer's Certificate to the Trustee.

    

    

    (b)          If a Guarantor is not released from its obligations under its Guarantee as provided in this Section 3.4 such
        Guarantor will remain liable for the full amount of principal of, premium on, if any, and interest, if any, on, the Securities and for the other obligations of such Guarantor under this Indenture as provided in this Section 3.1.

    ARTICLE IV.

     REDEMPTION

     

    Section 4.1.          Notice to Trustee; No Liability for Calculations.

     

    The Company may, with respect to any Series of Securities, reserve the right to redeem and pay such Series of Securities or may covenant to redeem and pay such Series of Securities or any part
      thereof prior to the Stated Maturity thereof at such time and on such terms as provided for, as applicable, in the Board Resolution and Officer’s Certificate or in the supplemental indenture relating to such Series.  If a Series of Securities is
      redeemable and the Company wants or is obligated to redeem prior to the Stated Maturity thereof all or part of the Series of Securities pursuant to the terms of such Securities, it shall notify the Trustee in writing of the redemption date and the
      principal amount of Series of Securities to be redeemed at least five days before the date that notice of redemption is to be given to the Holders of the Securities (or such shorter notice as may be acceptable to the Trustee).  The Trustee shall have
      no liability with respect to or obligation to calculate the redemption price of any Securities to be redeemed pursuant to this Indenture.

     

    Section 4.2.          Selection of Securities to be Redeemed.

     

    Unless otherwise indicated for a particular Series by a Board Resolution and Officer’s Certificate or by a supplemental indenture, if fewer than all of the Securities of a Series are to be redeemed
      at any time, the Trustee will select the Securities of such Series to be redeemed on a pro rata basis (or, in the case of Securities issued in global form, such Securities of such Series to be redeemed shall
      be selected in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary therefor) unless otherwise required by law or applicable stock exchange.  The Trustee will not be liable for selections made as contemplated in this section.

     

    No Securities of a Series in principal amount of less than the minimum authorized denomination can be redeemed in part.

     

    Notices of purchase or redemption will be given to each Holder pursuant to Section 4.3 and Section 11.1.

     

    Section 4.3.          Notice of Redemption.

     

    Unless otherwise indicated for a particular Series by Board Resolution and Officer’s Certificate or by supplemental indenture, at least 10 days but not more than 30 days before a redemption date, the
      Company will deliver a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Securities are to be redeemed in accordance with Section 11.1, except that redemption notices may be given more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in
      connection with a defeasance of the Securities or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Article IX hereof.

     

    The Company may make any redemption or redemption notice subject to the satisfaction of conditions precedent. If such redemption or notice is subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions
      precedent, such notice shall state that, in the Company’s discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time (but no more than 60 days after the date of the 

    
      28

      
        


    

    notice of redemption) as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, 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 by
      the redemption date, or by the redemption date as so delayed. In addition, the Company may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption price and performance of our obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another
      person.

     

    

    The notice shall identify the Securities to be redeemed and corresponding CUSIP, ISIN or Common Code numbers, as applicable, and will state:

    

    

    (a)         the redemption date;

     

    (b)         the redemption price and the amount of accrued interest, if any, and Additional Amounts,
        if any, to be paid;

     

    (c)         if any Global Security is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of
        such Global Security to be redeemed and that, after the redemption date upon surrender of such Global Security, the principal amount thereof will be decreased by the portion thereof redeemed pursuant thereto;

     

    (d)         if any Certificated Security is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal
        amount of such Security to be redeemed, and that, after the redemption date, upon surrender of such Security, a new Certificated Security or Certificated Securities in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the
        name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Certificated Security;

     

    (e)         the name and address of the Paying Agent(s) to which the Securities are to be surrendered
        for redemption;

     

    (f)          that Securities called for redemption must be surrendered to the relevant Paying Agent to
        collect the redemption price, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any;

     

    (g)         that, unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment, interest and
        Additional Amounts, if any, on Securities called for redemption cease to accrue on and after the redemption date;

     

    (h)         that Securities of the Series called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying
        Agent to collect the redemption price;

     

    (i)          the paragraph of the Securities and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the
        Securities called for redemption are being redeemed; and

     

    (j)          that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP, ISIN or
        Common Code numbers, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Securities.

     

    At the Company’s written request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at its expense; provided, however, that the Company has delivered to 

     

    

    
      29

      
        


    

    the Trustee, at least five days prior to the date that notice of redemption is to be given to the Holders of the Securities (or such shorter notice as may be acceptable to the Trustee), an Officer’s Certificate
      requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph.

     

    Section 4.4.          Effect of Notice of Redemption.

     

    Except for any notice of redemption that is subject to the satisfaction of conditions precedent, once notice of redemption is given as provided in Section 4.3, Securities of a Series called for
      redemption become due and payable on the redemption date and at the redemption price.  Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Securities shall be paid at the redemption price plus accrued interest to the redemption date.

     

    On or after any purchase or redemption date, unless the Company or any Guarantor, as applicable, defaults in payment of the purchase or redemption price, interest shall cease to accrue on Securities

    (b)          The Company will, so long as any of the Securities are outstanding, deliver to the
        Trustee, promptly upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, written notice specifying such Default or Event of Default and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

      context, the payment of the principal of or interest on, or in respect of, any Security of any Series, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts provided by the terms of such Series established hereby or
      pursuant hereto to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to such terms, and express mention of the payment of Additional Amounts (if applicable) in any provision hereof shall

    (a)          If at any point the Company is no longer subject to the reporting requirements of Section
        13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee in English (for distribution only to the Holders of Securities upon their request):

     

    (1)        within 60 days after the end of the first, second and third quarters of the Company’s
        fiscal year (commencing with the quarter ending immediately following the Company no longer being subject to such reporting requirements), quarterly unaudited financial statements (consolidated) prepared in accordance with GAAP of the Company for
        such period; and

        such annual financial statements by the Company’s auditors.

     

    (b)          Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company makes available the reports described in
        this Section 5.5 on its website, it will be deemed to have satisfied the reporting requirements set forth in this Section 5.5. 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 Officer’s Certificates).

     SUCCESSORS

     

    Section 6.1.          Consolidation, Amalgamation, Merger and Sale of Assets.

    

    

    
      
        (a)         The Company will not, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, consolidate or merge
          with or into any Person (whether or not the Company is the surviving or continuing Person), or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of (or cause or permit any Subsidiary to sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise
          dispose of) all or substantially all of the Company’s properties and assets (determined on a consolidated basis for the Company and its Subsidiaries), to any Person unless:

      

    

     

    (1)          either:

     

    (A)         the Company is the surviving or continuing Person; or

     

    
      32

      
        


    

    (B)         the Person (if other than the Company) formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or
        the Person which acquires by sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition the properties and assets of the Company and of the Company’s Subsidiaries substantially as an entirety (the “Surviving Entity”):

     

    (i)        is a corporation or company organized or incorporated and validly existing under the laws of the United
        States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia; and

     

    (ii)     expressly assumes, by supplemental indenture (in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee), executed and
        delivered to the Trustee, the due and punctual payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on all of the Securities and the performance and observance of the covenants of the Securities and the Indenture on the part of the
        Company to be performed or observed;

     

    (2)       immediately before and immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or
        Event of Default has occurred or is continuing;

     

    (3)      if the surviving or continuing Person is not the Company, any Guarantor, if applicable, has
        confirmed by supplemental indenture that its Guarantee will apply to the obligations of the Surviving Entity in respect of the Indenture and the Securities; and

     

    (4)         the Company or the Surviving Entity has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate
        and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that the consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition and, if required in connection with such transaction, the supplemental indenture(s), if any, comply with the
        applicable provisions of the Indenture and that all conditions precedent in the Indenture relating to the transaction have been satisfied.

     

    (b)       For purposes of this covenant, the transfer (by lease, assignment, sale or otherwise, in a
        single transaction or series of transactions) of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of one or more Subsidiaries of the Company, the Capital Stock of which constitutes all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the
        Company (determined on a consolidated basis for the Company and its Subsidiaries), will be deemed to be the transfer of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company.

     

    (c)        The provisions of clause (b) above will not apply to any merger or consolidation of the
        Company into an Affiliate of the Company incorporated solely for the purpose of reincorporating the Company in another jurisdiction so long as the Indebtedness (as defined in the applicable supplemental indenture) of the Company and its
        Subsidiaries taken as a whole is not increased thereby.

     

    
      33

      
        


    

    (d)        No Guarantor may consolidate with or merge with or into any Person, or sell, convey,
        transfer or dispose of, all or substantially all of its assets as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, to any Person, or permit any Person to merge with or into the Guarantor unless:

     

    (i)         the other Person is the Company or any Subsidiary that is a Guarantor or becomes a Guarantor concurrently
        with the transaction;

     

    (ii)        (1) either (x) the Guarantor is the continuing Person or (y) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person
        expressly assumes by supplemental indenture all of the obligations of the Guarantor under its Guarantee; and (2) immediately after giving effect to the transaction, no Default has occurred and is continuing; or

     

    (iii)       the transaction constitutes a sale or other disposition (including by way of consolidation or merger) of the
        Guarantor or the sale or disposition of all or substantially all the assets of the Guarantor (in each case other than to the Company or a Subsidiary) otherwise permitted by this Indenture or any supplemental indenture.

     

    (e)        The foregoing clauses of this Section 5.1 shall not apply to (i) any transfer of assets by
        the Company to any Subsidiary, (ii) any transfer of assets among Subsidiaries, or (iii) any transfer of assets to the Company.

     

    (f)        Upon any consolidation, combination or merger or any transfer of all or substantially all
        of the properties and assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries in accordance with this covenant, in which the Company is not the continuing Person, the Surviving Entity formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or to which
        such conveyance, lease or transfer is made will succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under the Indenture and the Securities with the same effect as if such Surviving Entity had been named as
        such and the Company shall be relieved of its obligations under the Indenture and the Securities, and from time to time such entity may exercise each and every right and power of the Company under this Indenture, in the name of the Company, or in
        its own name; and any act or proceeding by any provision of this Indenture, in the name of the Company or in its own name; and any act or proceeding by any provision of this Indenture required or permitted to be done by the Board of Directors or
        any officer of the Company may be done with like force and effect by the like board of directors or officer of any entity that shall at the time be the successor of the Company hereunder. In the event of any such sale or conveyance, the Company (or
        any successor entity which shall theretofore have become such in the manner described in this Section 6.1) shall be discharged from all obligations and covenants under this Indenture and the Securities and may thereupon be dissolved and liquidated.
        For the avoidance of doubt, compliance with this covenant will not affect the obligations of the Company (including a Surviving Entity, if applicable) under any change of control payment provision set forth in any supplemental indenture, if
        applicable.

    ARTICLE VII.

     DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

     

    Section 7.1.          Events of Default.

     

    (a)          The following are “Events of
        Default” with respect to the Company’s Securities of any Series, unless in the establishing Board Resolution and Officer’s Certificate or the establishing supplemental indenture, it is provided that such
        Series shall not have the benefit of said Event of Default:

     

    (1)        default in the payment when due of the principal of or premium, if any, on (including, in
        each case, any related Additional Amounts) such Series;

     

    (2)       default for 30 days or more in the payment when due of interest (including any related
        Additional Amounts) on such Series;

     

    (3)         the failure by the Company or any Subsidiary to comply with any other covenant or
        agreement contained in the Indenture or the Securities for 90 days or more after written notice to the Company thereof from the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such Series;

     

    (4)        default by the Company or any Significant Subsidiary under any indebtedness for borrowed
        money which:

     

    (A)      is caused by a failure to pay principal of or premium, if any, or interest on such indebtedness for borrowed
        money prior to the expiration of any applicable grace period provided in such indebtedness for borrowed money on the date of such default; or

     

    (B)         results in the acceleration of such indebtedness for borrowed money prior to its Stated Maturity;

     

    and the principal or accreted amount of indebtedness for borrowed money covered by clause (A) or (B) at the relevant time aggregates U.S.$75 million (or the equivalent in other
      currencies) or more;

     

    (5)         failure by the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries to pay one or more final
        judgments against any of them, aggregating U.S.$75 million (or the equivalent in other currencies) or more, which are not paid, discharged or stayed for a period of 90 days or more (to the extent not covered by a reputable and creditworthy
        insurance company);

     

    (6)         the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Law Event of Default;

     

    (7)      except as permitted herein or in the applicable supplemental indenture, any Guarantee, if
        applicable, is held to be unenforceable or invalid in a judicial proceeding or ceases for any reason to be in full force and effect or any 

     

      

    
      35

      
        


    

    Guarantor denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Guarantee; provided that any Guarantee of a Guarantor becoming unenforceable or invalid as a result of a change in law or regulations shall not constitute an Event of Default; or

     

    (8)        any other Event of Default provided in the Officer’s Certificate, supplemental indenture or
        Board Resolution under which such Series of Securities is issued.

     

    (b)          The Company shall, upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, deliver to the
        Trustee written notice of such Default or Event of Default, the status thereof and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take in respect thereof. In the absence of any such notice of Default or Event of Default from the Company, the
        Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice or be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default.

     

    (c)          A Default under one Series of Securities issued under this Indenture will not necessarily
        be a default under another Series of Securities under this Indenture.

     

    Section 7.2.          Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

     

    (a)          If an Event of Default for a Series of Securities occurs and is continuing (other than an
        Event of Default referred to in Section 7.1(a)(6) with respect to the Company), the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of such Series of outstanding Securities may declare the unpaid principal of and premium, if any, and
        accrued and unpaid interest on all the Securities of such Series to be immediately due and payable by notice in writing to the Company (if given by the Trustee or the Holders) and the Trustee (if given by the Holders) specifying the Event of
        Default and that it is a “notice of acceleration.” If an Event of Default specified in Section 7.1(a)(6) occurs with respect to the Company, then the unpaid principal of and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Securities of
        such Series will become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

     

    (b)         At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to any Series has been
        made as described in Section 7.2(a) above, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of that Series, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and cancel such declaration and its consequences:

     

    (1)        if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree;

     

    (2)        if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived, except nonpayment of 
        principal or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration;

     

    (3)        to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of
        interest and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid; and if the Company has paid the Trustee its compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its expenses, disbursements and advances
        outstanding at that time.

     

    
      36

      
        


    

    (c)          No rescission will affect any subsequent Default or impair any rights relating thereto.

     

    (d)          The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of a Series
        may waive any existing Default or Event of Default under the Indenture, and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Securities of such Series.

     

    (e)          Subject to the provisions of the Indenture relating to the duties of the Trustee, the
        Trustee is under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the Holders, unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity and/or security reasonably satisfactory
        to it. Subject to all provisions of the Indenture and applicable law, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then-outstanding Securities of a Series 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.

     

    Section 7.3.          Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.

     

    The Company covenants that if

     

    (a)        default is made in the payment of any interest on any Security when such interest becomes
        due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or

     

    (b)          default is made in the payment of principal of any Security at the Maturity thereof, or

     

    then, the Company shall, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such
        Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal, premium, if any, and interest and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal and any overdue
        interest at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements
        and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

     

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

     

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

     

    
      37

      
        


    

    Section 7.4.          Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

     

    In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any
      other obligor upon the Securities or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or
      otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise,

     

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

     

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

     

    and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the
      event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any
      other amounts due the Trustee under Section 8.7.

     

    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 of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or
      composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

     

    Section 7.5.          Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities.

     

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

     

    Section 7.6.          Application of Money Collected.

     

    Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article VII shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such 

     

    

    
      38

      
        


    

    money on account of principal or interest, upon presentation of the Securities and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

     

    First:          To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 8.7; and

     

    Second:          To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has
      been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Securities for principal and interest, respectively; and

     

    Third:          Any remaining amounts shall be repaid to the Company.

     

    Section 7.7.          Limitation on Suits.

     

    No Holder of Securities of any Series shall have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for any remedy thereunder, unless:

     

    (a)         the Holder gives the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default for such
        Series of Securities;

     

    (b)          the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of such outstanding Series of Securities
        make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

     

    (c)          the Holders of such Series furnish to the Trustee satisfactory indemnity;

     

    (d)          the Trustee does not comply within 60 days; and

     

    (e)          during that 60-day period, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
        outstanding Securities of such Series do not give the Trustee a written direction which, in the opinion of the Trustee, is inconsistent with the request;

     

    provided that a Holder of a Security may institute suit for enforcement of payment of the
        principal of and premium, if any, or interest on such Security on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Security.

     

    Section 7.8.          Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal and Interest.

     

    Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest, if
      any, on such Security on the Stated Maturity or Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the redemption date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired
      without the consent of such Holder.

     

    Section 7.9.          Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

     

    If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any

     

    

    
      39

      
        


    

     reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored
      severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

     

    Section 7.10.        Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

     

    Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in Section 4.8, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the
      Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter
      existing at law or in equity or otherwise.  The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not, to the extent permitted by law, prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or
      remedy.

     

    Section 7.11.        Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

    

    

     No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Securities to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver
      of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein.  Every right and remedy given by this Article VII or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by
      the Holders, as the case may be.

     

    Section 7.12.        Control by Holders.

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

    (c)          the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee in
        good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, determine that the proceeding so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability or that it will not be adequately indemnified against the costs, expenses and liabilities which
        might be incurred by it in complying with such direction.

     

    Section 7.13.        Waiver of Past Defaults.

     

    
      40

      
        


    

    The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any Series may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such Series waive any past Default
      hereunder with respect to such Series and its consequences, except (i) a Default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Security of such Series (provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in principal amount of
      the outstanding Securities of any Series may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration), or (ii) a Default in respect of a provision contained in this Indenture that
      cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Security affected thereby.  Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured,
      for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

     

    Section 7.14.        Undertaking for Costs.

     

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

     

    ARTICLE VIII.

     TRUSTEE

     

    Section 8.1.          Duties of Trustee.

     

    (a)         If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of
        the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in such exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs.

     

    (b)          Except during the continuance of an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of any
        Series:

     

    (1)        the Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this
        Indenture and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

     

    (2)       in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth
        of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to 

     

      

    
      41

      
        


    

    the requirements of this Indenture.  However, the Trustee shall examine such certificates and opinions to determine whether, on their face, they appear to
        conform to the requirements of this Indenture.

     

      

    (c)         The Trustee may not be relieved from liabilities for its own negligent action, its own
        negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that:

     

    (1)        this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section 8.1;

     

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

     

    (3)        the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in
        good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 7.12.

     

    (d)         Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture that in
        any way relates to the Trustee is subject to the provisions of this Article VIII.

     

    (e)        No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or
        incur any liability.  The Trustee may refuse to perform any duty or exercise any right or power unless it receives indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.

     

    (f)         The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on or investment of any money received by it
        except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Company.  Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.  All money received by the Trustee shall, until applied as herein
        provided, be held in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium (if any) and interest on and Additional Amounts with respect to the Securities.

     

    Section 8.2.          Rights of Trustee.

     

    (a)       The Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from
        acting, upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, note, debenture or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper
        Person.  The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, security or other paper or document.

     

    (b)          Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require instruction, an Officer’s
        Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both to be provided.  The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such instruction, Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.  The Trustee may
        consult with 

     

      

    
      42

      
        


    

    counsel and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action
        taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon.

     

    (c)         The Trustee may act through agents, attorneys, custodians or nominees and shall not be
        responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent, attorney, custodian or nominee appointed with due care.

     

    (d)          The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith
        which it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture or with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it from the Holders of a majority
        in aggregate principal amount of the relevant Series of Securities outstanding.

     

    (e)         Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Indenture, any demand, request, direction
        or notice from the Company or any Guarantor, if applicable, shall be sufficient if signed by an Officer of the Company or such Guarantor.

     

    (f)          Anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Trustee
        be liable under or in connection with this Indenture for indirect, special, incidental, punitive or consequential losses or damages of any kind whatsoever, including but not limited to lost profits, whether or not foreseeable, even if the Trustee
        has been advised of the possibility thereof and regardless of the form of action in which such damages are sought.

     

    (g)        The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in
        it by this Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the Holders of Securities pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Holders of Securities shall have offered to the Trustee, security or indemnity reasonably
        satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred therein or thereby.

     

    (h)         The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Event of Default with respect to the
        Securities unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice
        references the Securities and this Indenture.

     

    (i)        The Trustee may at any time request, and the Company and any Guarantor, if applicable,
        shall each deliver an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the specimen signatures and the names of individuals and/or titles of Officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, which Officer’s Certificate may
        be signed by any Person authorized to sign an Officer’s Certificate, including any Person specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded.

     

    (j)         Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Trustee be
        liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Indenture because of circumstances beyond its control, including, but not limited to, 

     

      

    
      43

      
        


    

    pandemic, acts of God, flood, war (whether declared or undeclared), terrorism, fire, riot, strikes or work stoppages for any reason, embargo, government
        action, including any laws, ordinances, regulations or the like which restrict or prohibit the providing of the services contemplated by this Indenture, inability to obtain material, equipment, or communications or computer facilities, or the
        failure of equipment or interruption of communications or computer facilities, and other causes beyond its control whether or not of the same class or kind as specifically named above.

     

    (k)       The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee,
        including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, each Agent, and each other agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder.

     

    Section 8.3.          May Hold Securities.

     

    The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company or any of its Affiliates with the same rights it would have
      if it were not Trustee.  Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties.  However, the Trustee is subject to Sections 8.10 and 8.11.

     

    Section 8.4.          Trustee’s Disclaimer.

     

    The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity, sufficiency or adequacy of any offering materials, this Indenture, the Securities or any Guarantees, it shall not be accountable for the
      Company’s use of the proceeds from the Securities or any money paid to the Company or upon the Company’s direction under any provision hereof, and it shall not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in any offering
      materials or the Securities other than its certificate of authentication.

     

    Section 8.5.          Notice of Defaults.

     

    If a Default or Event of Default with respect to the Securities of any Series occurs and is continuing and it is actually known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall give to Holders of Securities of such
      Series a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 60 days after the Trustee has knowledge of such Default or Event of Default in accordance with Section 8.2(h).  Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of,
      premium (if any) and interest on and Additional Amounts, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a Responsible Officer in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Holders of Securities of such Series to
      do so.

     

    Section 8.6.          Reports by Trustee to Holders.

     

    Within 60 days after May 15 of each year after the execution of this Indenture, the Trustee shall give to Holders of each Series of Securities and the Company a brief report dated as of such
      reporting date that complies with TIA § 313(a); provided, however, that if no event described in TIA § 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date with respect to any Series of Securities, no report need be
      transmitted to Holders of such Series or the 

     

    

    
      44

      
        


    

    Company.  The Trustee also shall comply with TIA § 313(b).  The Trustee shall also transmit by mail all reports if and as required by TIA §§ 313(c) and 313(d).

     

    A copy of each report at the time of its transmittal to Holders of a Series of Securities shall be filed by the Company with the SEC and each securities exchange, if any, on which the Securities of
      such Series are listed.  The Company shall notify the Trustee if and when any Series of Securities is listed on or delisted from any securities exchange.

     

    Section 8.7.          Compensation and Indemnity.

     

    The Company and any Guarantor, if applicable, jointly and severally, agree to pay to the Trustee for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder such compensation as the Company or any
      Guarantor and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing between the parties for all services rendered by it hereunder.  The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust.  The
      Company and any Guarantor, if applicable, agree to reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred by it.  Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the
      Trustee’s agents and counsel.

     

    The Company and any Guarantor, if applicable, jointly and severally, hereby indemnify the Trustee from, and agree to hold it harmless for, from and against any damage, cost, claim, loss, liability or
      expense (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel) incurred by it arising out of or in connection with its acceptance and administration of the trusts set forth under this Indenture, the
      performance of its obligations and/or the exercise of its rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, any Guarantor, any Holder or any
      other Person), except as set forth in the next following paragraph.  The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity.  The Company and any Guarantor, as applicable, shall defend the claim, with counsel
      reasonably acceptable to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense, unless, the Trustee, in its reasonable discretion, determines that any actual or potential conflict of interest may exist, in which case the Trustee may have
      separate counsel, reasonably acceptable to the Company and any Guarantor, as applicable, and the Company and any Guarantor shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel.  The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its
      consent.

     

    The Company shall not be obligated to reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss or liability incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee’s own negligence or bad faith.

     

    To secure the payment obligations of the Company and any Guarantor, if applicable, in this Section 8.7, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities on all money or property held or
      collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal of, premium (if any) and interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to Securities of any Series.  Such lien and the obligations of the Company and any Guarantor, if any,
      under this Section 8.7 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the payment of the Securities and/or the resignation or removal of the Trustee.

     

    
      45

      
        


    

    When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default, 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 Bankruptcy Law.

     

    Section 8.8.          Replacement of Trustee.

     

    A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 8.8.

     

    The Trustee may resign and be discharged at any time with respect to the Securities of one or more Series by so notifying the Company.  The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then
      outstanding Securities of any Series may remove the Trustee with respect to the Securities of such Series by so notifying the Trustee and the Company.  The Company may remove the Trustee for any or all Series of the Securities if:

     

    (a)          the Trustee fails to comply with Section 8.10;

     

    (b)        the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with
        respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law;

     

    (c)          a Custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or

     

    (d)          the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

     

    If the Trustee resigns or is removed or becomes incapable of acting, if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any reason, with respect to the Securities of one or more Series, the
      Company, by a Company Order, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities of that or those Series (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or
      more or all of such Series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any particular series).  Within one year after the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any Series takes office, the
      Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of such Series then outstanding may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company.

     

    If a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any Series does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the
      Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of such Series may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such Series.

     

    If the Trustee with respect to the Securities of a Series fails to comply with Section 8.10, any Holder of Securities of such Series may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal
      of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such Series.

     

    
      46

      
        


    

    In case of the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to all Securities, each such successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the
      Company.  Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Trustee under this Indenture.  The successor Trustee shall give a
      notice of its succession to Holders in accordance with Section 11.1.  The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided for in Section 8.7.

     

    In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more Series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the
      Securities of one or more Series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto in which each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and that (1) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and
      confirm to, and to vest in, confer to each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those Series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (2) if
      the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the
      Securities of that or those Series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and (3) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or
      facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust, and that each such Trustee shall
      be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee.  Upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture, the resignation or removal of the retiring
      Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Trustee without further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities
      of that or those Series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the Company, or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and
      money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those Series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates.  Such retiring Trustee shall, however, have the right to deduct its unpaid fees and
      expenses, including attorneys’ fees.

     

    Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee or Trustees pursuant to this Section 8.8, the obligations of the Company or any Guarantor, if applicable, under Section 8.7 shall continue for the benefit
      of the retiring Trustee or Trustees.

     

    Section 8.9.          Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.

     

    Subject to Section 8.10, if the Trustee consolidates, amalgamates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business (including this transaction) to,
      another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee.

     

    
      47

      
        


    

    In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, amalgamation, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating
      Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Securities shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Securities either in the name of
      any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Securities or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall
      have.

     

    Section 8.10.        Eligibility; Disqualification.

     

    There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be a corporation or banking association organized and doing business under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District
      of Columbia and authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust power, shall be subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State (or the District of Columbia) authority and shall have, or be a subsidiary of a bank or bank holding
      company having, a combined capital and surplus of at least U.S.$50 million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition.

     

    The Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA §§ 310(a)(1), 310(a)(2) and 310(a)(5).  The Trustee is subject to and shall comply with the provisions of TIA § 310(b)
      during the period of time required by this Indenture.  Nothing in this Indenture shall prevent the Trustee from filing with the SEC the application referred to in the penultimate paragraph of TIA § 310(b).

    ARTICLE IX.

     DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE

     

    Section 9.1.          Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance.

     

    

    
      
                    (a)          The Company may, at its option, at any time, upon compliance with the conditions set
          forth in Section 9.1.2, elect to have either Section 9.1(b) or Section 9.1(c) be applied to its obligations with respect to all the Securities of a Series and all obligations of any Guarantor under any Guarantee of such Series.

      

    

     

    

    

    (b)          Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 9.1(a)







        of the option applicable to this Section 9.1(b), the Company shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 9.1.2, be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness
        represented by the outstanding Securities of such Series and any related Guarantees on the 91st day after the deposit specified in Section 9.1.2(a) (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”).  For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid 

     

      

    
      48

      
        


    

    and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the outstanding Securities of such Series, which shall thereafter be deemed to be outstanding only for
        the purposes of the sections of this Indenture referred to in clause (1) or (2) of this Section 9.1(b), and the Company
        shall have been deemed to have satisfied all their other obligations under such Series, and hereunder (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the
        following provisions, which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:

     

    (1)        the rights of Holders to receive solely from the trust described in Section 9.1.2(a) below,
        as more fully set forth in such section, payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities when such payments are due;

     

    (2)     the Company’s obligations with respect to such Securities concerning issuing temporary
        Securities, registration of Securities, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities and the maintenance of an office or agency for payments;

     

    (3)        the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee as described in Article VIII and hereunder and the Company’s obligations in connection therewith; and

     

    (4)         this Article IX.

     

    Subject to compliance with this Article IX, the Company may exercise its option under this Section 9.1(b) notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option
      under Section 9.1(c).

     

    (c)        Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 9.1(a)
        of the option applicable to this Section 9.1(c), the Company and its Subsidiaries shall be, subject to the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 9.1.2, released and discharged from
        their obligations under the covenants (including, without limitation, the obligations contained in Sections 5.2, 5.4, and 5.5, and Article VI as well as those covenants included in any applicable supplemental indenture, with respect to the
        outstanding Securities and the operation of Sections 7.1(a)(4), (5), (6) and (7),







        but only as it applies to any Subsidiary, shall terminate on and after the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Securities of such Series shall thereafter be deemed not outstanding for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such
        covenants, but shall continue to be outstanding for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Securities shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes).  For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that, with
        respect to the outstanding Securities of a Series, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any
        reference elsewhere in the Indenture to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event or Default
        with 

     

      

    
      49

      
        


    

    respect to the Securities or any Guarantees under Section 7.1, but, except as specified above, the remainder
        hereof and such Securities of such Series shall be unaffected thereby.

     

    9.1.2.      Conditions to Defeasance.  The Company
        may exercise its Legal Defeasance option or its Covenant Defeasance option only if:

     

    (a)          the Company has irrevocably deposited with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the
        Holders cash in U.S. Dollars, certain direct non-callable obligations of, or guaranteed by, the United States, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as shall be sufficient without reinvestment, in the case of obligations of the United States,
        in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants or investment bank, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest (including Additional Amounts) on a Series of Securities on the stated date for payment
        thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be;

     

    (b)          in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of
        Counsel from a nationally recognized law firm in the U.S. reasonably acceptable to the Trustee and independent of the Company to the effect that:

     

    (1)        the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service
        a ruling; or

     

    (2)        since the applicable Issue Date, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal
        income tax law;

     

    in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall state that, the beneficial owners of the Securities of such Series will not recognize income,
      gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance
      had not occurred;

     

    (c)          in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of
        Counsel from a nationally recognized law firm in the U.S. reasonably acceptable to the Trustee and independent of the Company to the effect that the beneficial owners of the Securities of such Series will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S.
        federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not
        occurred;

     

    (d)          no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of the deposit
        pursuant to Section 9.1.2(a);

     

    (e)          the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that such Legal
        Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under this Indenture or any other material agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the
        Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound;

     

    
      50

      
        


    

    (f)          the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the deposit
        was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the Holders over any other creditors of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company or with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any other creditors of the Company or
        others;

     

    (g)          the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of
        Counsel from U.S. counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee and independent of the Company, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for or relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with; and

     

    (h)          the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel from U.S. counsel
        reasonably acceptable to the Trustee and independent of the Company to the effect that the trust funds will not be subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally.

     

    Section 9.2.          Application of Trust Money.

     

    The Trustee or a trustee satisfactory to the Trustee and the Company shall hold in trust money or Government Obligations deposited with it pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof.  It shall apply the
      deposited money and the money from Government Obligations through the Paying Agent and in accordance with this Indenture to the payment of principal of premium (if any) and interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to the Securities of the
      Series with respect to which the deposit was made.

     

    Section 9.3.          Repayment to Company.

     

    The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly pay to the Company (or to its designee) upon written request any excess money or Government Obligations (or proceeds therefrom) held by them at any
      time upon the written request of the Company.

     

    Subject to the requirements of any applicable abandoned property laws, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Company upon written request any money held by them for the payment of
      principal, premium (if any), interest or any Additional Amounts that remains unclaimed for two years after the date upon which such payment shall have become due.  After payment to the Company, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Company
      for payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another Person, and all liability of the Trustee and the Paying Agent with respect to such money shall cease.

     

    Section 9.4.          Reinstatement.

     

    If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Obligations deposited with respect to Securities of any Series in accordance with Section 9.1 by reason of any legal
      proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the obligations of the Company under this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such
      Series and under the Securities of such Series shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 

     

    

    
      51

      
        


    

    9.1 until such time as the Trustee or the Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or Government Obligations in accordance with Section 9.1; provided, however, that if the Company has made any
      payment of principal of, premium (if any) or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to any Securities because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to
      receive such payment from the money or Government Obligations held by the Trustee or the Paying Agent.

     

                  Section 9.5.          Satisfaction and Discharge. This Indenture shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect (except as to
      surviving rights or registration of transfer or exchange of any Securities, as expressly provided for herein) as to all outstanding Securities, and the Trustee, on written demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments
      acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, when:

      

    

    (a)          either:

     

    (1)     all the Securities theretofore authenticated and delivered (except lost, stolen or destroyed
        Securities which have been replaced or paid and Securities for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust) have been
        delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

     

    (2)      all Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and
        payable at the Stated Maturity or will become due and payable within one year, including by reason of the giving of a notice of redemption, and the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee funds or Government
        Obligations sufficient without reinvestment to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness (as defined in the applicable supplemental indenture) on the Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal of, premium,
        if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities to the date of deposit (in the case of Securities that have become due and payable) or to the Stated Maturity or the redemption date, as the case may be, together with irrevocable
        instructions from the Company directing the Trustee to apply such funds to the payment;

     

    (b)          the Company has paid all other sums payable under this Indenture and the Securities by the
        Company; and

     

    (c)          the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that all
        conditions precedent under this Indenture relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with.

     

    ARTICLE X.

     AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS

     

    Section 10.1.        Without Consent of Holders.

     

    Without the consent of any Holder of Securities of a Series, the Company, any Guarantor of the Securities of a Series, if applicable, and the Trustee may amend, modify or 

     

    

    
      52

      
        


    

    supplement this Indenture or any supplemental indenture, such Series of Securities or any Guarantee of such Series of Securities in the following circumstances:

     

    (1)        to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency contained therein;

     

    (2)       to provide for the assumption by a Surviving Entity of the obligations of the Company or any
        Guarantor under the Indenture or applicable supplemental indenture;

     

    (3)       to add Guarantees with respect to a Series of Securities or release a Guarantee in
        accordance with the terms of the Indenture or applicable supplemental indenture;

     

    (4)        to secure the Securities;

     

    (5)        to add to the covenants of the Company for the benefit of the Holders or surrender any
        right or power conferred upon the Company;

     

    (6)       to issue additional Securities of any Series in accordance with the Indenture; provided that
        if such additional Securities are not issued pursuant to a “qualified reopening” of the relevant original Series of Securities, are otherwise not treated as part of the same “issue” of debt instruments as the original Series of Securities or are
        issued with more than a de minimis amount of original issue discount, in each case for U.S. federal income tax purposes, then a separate CUSIP
        or ISIN shall be issued for such additional Securities;

     

    (7)        to evidence the replacement of the Trustee as provided for under the Indenture;

     

    (8)        if necessary, in connection with any release of any security permitted under the Indenture;

     

    (9)        to make any other change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder in any
        material respect;

     

    (10)      to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of Certificated
        Securities;

     

    (11)      to conform the text of the Indenture, any supplemental indenture, the Guarantees or any
        Series of Securities to any provision of the prospectus or supplemental prospectus of any Series of Securities; and

     

    With respect to any additional Guarantees to be added pursuant to Section 10.1(3), the Trustee is further authorized, without any further consents, to execute and deliver any
      additional documents that the Company identifies as necessary to effect such addition.

     

    

    Section 10.2.        With Consent of Holders.

     

    
      53

      
        


    

    Other modifications to, amendments of, supplements to, waivers to any Existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences (other than regarding a Default or Event of Default in the payment of
      the principal of, premium on, if any, interest or Additional Amounts, if any, on, such Securities of a Series, except a payment Default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of, the Indenture or
      Securities of a Series or any applicable Guarantee of a Series of Securities may be made with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then-outstanding Securities of such Series issued under the Indenture, except that,
      without the consent of each Holder of such Securities of such Series affected thereby, no amendment may (with respect to any Securities of such Series held by a non-consenting Holder):

     

    (1)         reduce the percentage of the principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such Series whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;

     

    (2)        reduce the rate of or change or have the effect of changing the time for payment of interest on any Securities of such Series;

     

    (3)        change any place of payment where the principal of or interest on the Securities of such Series is payable;

     

    (4)         reduce the principal of or change or have the effect of changing the fixed maturity of any Securities of such Series, or change the date on which any Securities of such Series may be
      subject to redemption, or reduce the redemption price therefor;

     

    (5)         make any Securities if such Series payable in currencies other than that stated in the Securities of such Series;

     

    (6)        make any change in provisions of the Indenture entitling each Holder of Securities of such Series to receive payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Securities of
      such Series on or after the due date thereof or to bring suit to enforce such payment, or permitting Holders of a majority in principal amount of outstanding Securities of such Series to waive Defaults or Events of Default;

     

    (7)          to the extent applicable, eliminate or modify in any manner any Guarantor’s obligations with respect to the Guarantees of such Series of Securities which adversely affects Holders of
      Securities of such Series in any material respect, except as contemplated in the Indenture or in the applicable supplemental indenture; and

     

    (8)          make any change in the provisions of the Indenture described under Section 5.4 that adversely affects the rights of any Holder of Securities of such Series or amend the terms of the
      Securities of such Series in a way that would result in a loss of exemption from any applicable taxes.

     

    For the avoidance of doubt, any amendment, supplement or waiver to any Series of Securities made with the consent of Holders of such Series of Securities, shall be made with respect to that Series of
      Securities only, and not any other Series of Securities.

     

    

    
      54

      
        


    

    In the event that consent is obtained from some of the Holders but not from all of the Holders with respect to any amendments or waivers pursuant to clauses (1) through (8) of this Section 10.2, new
      Securities of such Series with such amendments or waivers will be issued to those consenting Holders.  Such new Securities shall have separate CUSIP numbers and ISINs from those Securities of such Series held by non-consenting Holders.

     

    Section 10.3.        Form of Amendments.

     

    Every amendment to this Indenture or the Securities of one or more Series shall be set forth in a supplemental indenture and each supplemental indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all
      purposes; and every Holder of Securities theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby.

     

    Section 10.4.        Revocation and Effect of Consents.

     

    Until an amendment is set forth in a supplemental indenture or a waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Security is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder
      of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Security.  However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to his
      Security or portion of a Security if the Trustee receives the written notice of revocation before the date of the supplemental indenture or the date the waiver becomes effective.

     

    Any amendment or waiver once effective shall bind every Securityholder of each Series affected by such amendment or waiver unless it is of the type described in any of clauses (1) through (8) of
      Section 10.2.  In that case, the amendment or waiver shall bind each Holder of a Security who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security.

     

    It will not be necessary for the consent of the Holders to approve the particular form of any proposed supplement, amendment or waiver, but it will be sufficient if such consent approves the
      substance of it.

     

    The Company may set a record date for purposes of determining the identity of the Holders of each series of Securities entitled to give a written consent or waive compliance by the Company as
      authorized or permitted by this Section.  Such record date shall not be more than 30 calendar days prior to the first solicitation of such consent or waiver or the date of the most recent list of Holders furnished to the Trustee prior to such
      solicitation pursuant to Section 312 of the TIA.

     

    Promptly after the execution by the Company and the Trustee of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Section 10.4, the Company shall mail a notice, setting forth in general
      terms the substance of such supplemental indenture, to the Holders of Securities at their addresses as the same shall then appear in the register.  Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way
      impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture.

     

    
      55

      
        


    

    Section 10.5.        Notation on or Exchange of Securities.

     

    The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment or waiver on any Security of any Series thereafter authenticated.  The Company in exchange for its Securities of that Series may issue
      and the Trustee shall authenticate upon request new Securities of that Series that reflect the amendment or waiver.

     

    Section 10.6.        Trustee Protected.

     

    In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture, amendment or waiver permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this
      Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 8.1) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel and Officer’s Certificate stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or
      permitted by this Indenture.  The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any supplemental indentures which affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties, immunities, or indemnities under this Indenture, the Securities or otherwise.

      received an incumbency certificate listing persons designated to give such instructions or directions and containing specimen signatures of such designated persons, which such incumbency certificate shall be amended and replaced whenever a person is
      to be added or deleted from the listing.  If the Company elects to give the Trustee e-mail instructions (or instructions by a similar electronic method), the Trustee’s understanding of such instructions shall be deemed controlling.  The Trustee shall
      not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee’s reliance upon and compliance with such instructions notwithstanding such instructions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written
      instruction.  The Company agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to the Trustee, including without limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized instructions, and
      the risk or interception and misuse by third parties.

      

    

    Any notice or communication to (i) a Securityholder of a Certificated Security shall be mailed by first-class mail to his address shown on the register kept by the Registrar and (ii) a Securityholder
      of a Global Security shall be delivered to the Depositary in accordance with its applicable procedures.  Failure to give a notice or communication to a Securityholder of any Series or any defect in it shall not affect its sufficiency with respect to
      other Securityholders of that or any other Series.

     

    If a notice or communication to any Securityholder is given in the manner provided above, within the time prescribed, it is duly given, whether or not the Securityholder receives it.

     

    If the Company mails a notice or communication to Securityholders, it shall mail a copy to the Trustee and each Agent at the same time.

     

    In respect of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not have any duty or obligation to verify or confirm that the Person sending instructions, directions, reports, notices or other communications or
      information by electronic transmission is, in fact, a Person authorized to give such instructions, directions, reports, notices or other communications or information on behalf of the party purporting to send such electronic transmission; and the
      Trustee shall not have any liability for any losses, liabilities, costs or expenses incurred or sustained by any party as a result 

     

    

    
      57

      
        


    

    of such reliance upon or compliance with such instructions, directions, reports, notices or other communications or information.  Each other party agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of electronic methods
      to submit instructions, directions, reports, notices or other communications or information to the Trustee, including without limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized instructions, notices, reports or other communications or
      information, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties.

     

    Section 11.2.         Communication by Holders with Other Holders.

     

    Securityholders of a Series may communicate pursuant to TIA § 312(b), as if such section applied hereto, with other Securityholders of such Series with respect to their rights under this Indenture or
      the Securities.  The Company, the Trustee, the Agents and anyone else shall have the protection of TIA § 312(c).

     

    Section 11.3.         Certificate and Opinion as to Conditions Precedent.

     

    Upon any request or application by the Company or any Guarantor, if applicable, to the Trustee to take any action under this Indenture, the Company or any such Guarantor shall furnish to the Trustee:

     

    	

          	1.	
            an Officer’s Certificate (which shall include the statements set forth in Section 11.4) stating that, in the opinion of the signer, all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been
              complied with; and

          


     

    	

          	2.	
            an Opinion of Counsel (which shall include the statements set forth in Section 11.4 hereof) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all such conditions precedent have been complied with.

          


     

    Section 11.4.        Statements Required in Certificate or Opinion.

     

    Each certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture (other than a certificate provided pursuant to Section 5.2 in accordance with TIA §
      314(a)(4)) shall comply with the provisions of TIA § 314(e) and shall include substantially:

     

    	

          	1.	
            a statement that the Person making such certificate or opinion has read such covenant or condition;

          


     

    	

          	2.	
            a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such certificate or opinion are based;

          


     

    
      
        	 	
                3.

              	
                a statement that, in the opinion of such Person, he or she has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable such Person to express an informed view or opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been
                  complied with; and

              


      

       

      

      
        58

        
          


      

    

    	

          	4.	
            a statement as to whether or not, in the opinion of such Person, such condition or covenant has been complied with.

          


     

    Any certificate, statement or opinion of an officer of the Company may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such
      officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his or her certificate, statement or opinion is based are erroneous. Any certificate,
      statement or opinion of counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate, statement or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Company stating that the information with respect to such
      factual matters is in the possession of the Company, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate, statement or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.

     

    Any certificate, statement or opinion of an officer of the Company or of counsel to the Company may be based, insofar as it relates to accounting matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or
      representations by, an accountant or firm of accountants, unless such officer or counsel, as the case may be, knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the accounting
      matters upon which his or her certificate, statement or opinion may be based are erroneous.  Any certificate or opinion of any firm of independent registered public accountants filed with the Trustee shall contain a statement that such firm is
      independent.

     

    In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the
      opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such
      Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.

     

    Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need
      not, be consolidated and form one instrument.

     

    Section 11.5.        Rules by Trustee and Agents.

     

    The Trustee may make reasonable rules for action by or a meeting of Securityholders of one or more Series.  Any Agent may make reasonable rules and set reasonable requirements for its functions.

     

    Section 11.6.        Legal Holidays.

     

    If a payment date is not a Business Day, payment may be made at that place on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, and no interest shall accrue for the intervening period.

     

    Section 11.7.        No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees and Certain Others.

     

    
      59

      
        


    

    No director, officer, employee, incorporator or similar founder, stockholder or member of the Company or any Guarantor, as such, will have any liability for or any obligations of the Company or any
      Guarantor under this Indenture or the Securities, or any Guarantee or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of, such obligations or their creation.  Each Holder of Securities by accepting a Security waives and releases all such
      liability.  The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Securities.  The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.

     

    Section 11.8.        FATCA.

     

    The Company agrees that if reasonably requested in writing by the Trustee or any Agent (for purposes of this Section 11.8, the “Trustee”), the Company shall
      provide such information in its possession as is reasonably necessary for the Trustee to comply with the requirements of Sections 1471 to 1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and any current or future regulations or official
      interpretations thereof (collectively, “FATCA”), in relation to a payment made under the Indenture, the Securities or any Guarantee; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to provide any information that it is prohibited
      from disclosing.  The Trustee shall be entitled to make any withholding or deduction from payments under the Indenture, the Securities or any Guarantee to the extent necessary to comply with FATCA.  The Trustee shall have no liability for, and the
      Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee against any liability for, any withholding or deduction made by the Trustee, or any failure by the Trustee to make any withholding or deduction, in each case to the extent such action or failure
      to act was taken in reliance on the information provided by the Company pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 11.8 or as a result of the Company’s failure to provide information pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 11.8.

     

    Section 11.9.        Counterparts.

     

    This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.  Delivery of an executed
      counterpart of a signature page of this Indenture by facsimile or in electronic format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Indenture.

     

    Section 11.10.      Governing Laws.

     

    THIS INDENTURE, THE SECURITIES AND ANY GUARANTEE, INCLUDING ANY CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS INDENTURE, THE SECURITIES OR ANY GUARANTEE, SHALL BE
      GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF ANY LAW OTHER THAN THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

     

    Section 11.11.       No Adverse Interpretation of Other Agreements.

     

    This Indenture may not be used to interpret another indenture, loan or debt agreement of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company.  Any such indenture, loan or debt agreement may not be used to
      interpret this Indenture.

    Section 11.12.      Successors and Assigns.

     

    All covenants and agreements of the Company and any Guarantor in this Indenture and the Securities shall bind their respective successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.  All agreements of
      the Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its successor.

     

    Section 11.13.      Severability.

     

    In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Securities shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be
      affected or impaired thereby.

     

    Section 11.14.      Table of Contents, Headings, Etc.

     

    The table of contents, cross reference table, and headings of the Articles and Sections of this Indenture have been inserted for convenience of reference only, are not to be considered a part hereof,
      and shall in no way modify or restrict any of the terms or provisions hereof.

     

    Section 11.15.      Judgment Currency.

     

    Each of the Company and any Guarantor, if applicable, agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so under applicable law, that (a) if for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court
      it is necessary to convert the sum due in respect of this Indenture or the principal of or interest or other amount on the Securities of any Series (the “Required Currency”) into a currency in which a judgment
      will be rendered (the “Judgment Currency”), the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the recipient could purchase in The City of New York the Required
      Currency with the Judgment Currency on the day on which final unappealable judgment is entered, unless such day is not a New York Banking Day, then the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the
      recipient could purchase in The City of New York the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on the New York Banking Day preceding the day on which final unappealable judgment is entered and (b) its obligations under this Indenture to make
      payments in the Required Currency (i) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender, or any recovery pursuant to any judgment (whether or not entered in accordance with subsection (a)), in any currency other than the Required Currency, except to
      the extent that such tender or recovery shall result in the actual receipt, by the payee, of the full amount of the Required Currency expressed to be payable in respect of such payments, (ii) shall be enforceable as an alternative or additional cause
      of action for the purpose of recovering in the Required Currency the amount, if any, by which such actual receipt shall fall short of the full amount of the Required Currency so expressed to be payable, and (iii) shall not be affected by judgment
      being obtained for any other sum due under this Indenture.  For purposes of the foregoing, “New York Banking Day” means any Business Day.

     

    Section 11.16.      English Language.

     

    This Indenture has been negotiated and executed in the English language.  All certificates, reports, notices and other documents and communications delivered or delivered pursuant to this Indenture
      (including any modifications or supplements hereto), shall be in the 

     

    

    
      61

      
        


    

    English language, or accompanied by a certified English translation thereof.  In the case of any document originally issued in a language other than English, the English language version of any such document shall for
      purposes of this Indenture, and absent manifest error, control the meaning of the matters set out therein.

     

    Section 11.17.      Submission to Jurisdiction; Appointment of Agent.

     

    Any suit, action or proceeding against the Company or any Guarantor or its respective properties, assets or revenues with respect to this Indenture, the Securities or any Guarantee (a “Related Proceeding”) may be brought in any state or Federal court in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York, New York, as the Person bringing such Related Proceeding may elect in its sole discretion. 
      The Company and any Guarantor hereby consent to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of each such court for the purpose of any Related Proceeding and have irrevocably waived any objection to the laying of venue of any Related Proceeding brought in any such
      court and to the fullest extent they may effectively do so and the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any Related Proceeding or any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court.  The Company and any Guarantor hereby agree
      that service of all writs, claims, process and summonses in any Related Proceeding brought against them in the State of New York may be made upon Corporation Service Company (the “Process Agent”).  Each of the
      Company  and any Guarantor has irrevocably appointed the Process Agent as its agent and true and lawful attorney in fact in its name, place and stead to accept such service of any and all such writs, claims, process and summonses, and hereby agrees
      that the failure of the Process Agent to give any notice to it of any such service of process shall not impair or affect the validity of such service or of any judgment based thereon.  The Company and any Guarantor hereby agree to have an office or
      to maintain at all times an agent with offices in the United States of America to act as Process Agent.  Nothing in this Indenture shall in any way be deemed to limit the ability to serve any such writs, process or summonses in any other manner
      permitted by applicable law.

     

    Section 11.18.      Waiver of Immunity.

     

    To the extent that the Company or any Guarantor has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service of notice, attachment prior
      to judgment, attachment in aid of execution or execution, on the ground of sovereignty or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property, it hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, such immunity in respect of
      its obligations under this Indenture, Securities and/or any Guarantees.

     

    Section 11.19.      Waiver of Jury Trial.

     

    EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO
      THIS INDENTURE, THE SECURITIES, ANY GUARANTEES OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

     

    Section 11.20.          Trust Indenture Act Controls.

     

    
      62

      63
