and delivery thereof are not subject to any conditions precedent.

	Section 2.02	Execution and Authentication.


 


One Officer shall sign the Securities for the Company by manual
or facsimile signature.


 


If an Officer whose signature is on a Security no longer holds
that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Security, the Security shall nevertheless be valid.


 


A Security shall not be valid until the Trustee manually signs
the certificate of authentication on the Security. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been authenticated
under this Base Indenture.


 


At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery
of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication.
Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. The Trustee shall authenticate Securities for original issue upon
receipt of, and shall be fully protected in relying upon:


 


(a) An order to the Trustee signed by an officer of the
Company directing the Trustee to authenticate the Securities;


 


(b) a copy of the resolution or resolutions of the Board
of Directors in or pursuant to which the terms and form of the Securities were established, certified by the Secretary or an Assistant
Secretary of the Company to have been duly adopted by the Board of Directors and to be in full force and effect as of the date
of such certificate, and if the terms and form of such Securities are established by an Officers’ Certificate pursuant to
general authorization of the Board of Directors, such Officers’ Certificate;


 


(c) an Officers’ Certificate of the Company delivered
in accordance with Section 12.04; and


 


(d) an Opinion of Counsel delivered in accordance with
Section 12.04, and that states that such Securities, when authenticated and delivered by Trustee and issued by the Company
in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations
of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and other laws of
general applicability relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and to general equity principles.


 


The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate
and deliver any Securities under this Section if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not
lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith shall determine that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability
to existing Holders.


 


	Section 2.03	Registrar and Paying Agent.


 


The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Securities
may be presented for registration of transfer or where Securities of a Series that are convertible or exchangeable may be
surrendered for conversion or exchange (“Registrar”), an office or agency where Securities may be presented
for payment (“Paying Agent”) and an office or agency where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect
of the Securities and this Indenture may be served. The Registrar shall keep a register of the Securities and of their transfer
and exchange (the “Security Register”). The Company may have one or more co-Registrars and one or more additional
paying agents. The term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent.


 


The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement
with any Agent not a party to this Base Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to
such Agent. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any such Agent and the Trustee
shall have the right to inspect the Securities Register at all reasonable times to obtain copies thereof, and the Trustee shall
have the right to rely upon such register as to the names and addresses of the Holders and the principal amounts and certificate
numbers thereof. If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent or fails to give the foregoing notice, the Trustee
shall act as such.


 






    - 8 -


     


    

 


The Company initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar and
Paying Agent.


 


	Section 2.04	Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.


 


Each Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Securityholders
and the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of or interest on the Securities, and shall notify
the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment. If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall
segregate the money and hold it as a separate trust fund. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held
by it to the Trustee. Upon doing so the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money.


 


	Section 2.05	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. If the Trustee is not the Registrar,
the Company shall furnish to the Trustee at least five (5) Business Days before each semiannual 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.


 


	Section 2.06	Transfer and Exchange.


 


Where a Security is presented to the Registrar or a co-Registrar
with a request to register a transfer, the Registrar shall register the transfer as requested if the other provisions of this Section 2.06
are satisfied. Where Securities are presented to the Registrar or a co-Registrar with a request to exchange them for an equal principal
amount of Securities of other denominations, the Registrar shall make the exchange as requested if the same requirements are met.
To permit transfers and exchanges, the Trustee shall authenticate Securities at the Registrar’s request. The Registrar need
not transfer or exchange any Security selected for redemption or repurchase, except the unredeemed or repurchased part thereof
if the Security is redeemed or repurchased in part, or transfer or exchange any Securities for a period of 15 days before a selection
of Securities to be redeemed or repurchased. Any exchange or transfer shall be without charge, except that the Company may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto except in the
case of exchanges pursuant to 2.09, 3.06, or 10.05 not involving any transfer.


 


Any Holder of a Global Security shall, by acceptance of such
Global Security, agree that transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Security may be effected only through a book entry
system maintained by the Holder of such Global Security (or its agent), and that ownership of a beneficial interest in the Security
shall be required to be reflected in a book entry.


 


	Section 2.07	Replacement Securities.


 


If the Holder of a Security claims that the Security has been
lost, destroyed, mutilated or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and execute a replacement security and, upon written request
of any Officer of the Company, the Trustee shall authenticate such replacement Security. If any such lost, destroyed, mutilated
or wrongfully taken Security shall have matured or shall be about to mature, the Company may, instead of issuing a substitute Security
therefor, pay such Security without requiring (except in the case of a mutilated Security) the surrender thereof. An indemnity
bond must be sufficient in the judgment of the Company and the Trustee to protect the Company, the Trustee and any Agent from any
loss which any of them may suffer if a Security is replaced, including the acquisition of such Security by a bona fide purchaser.
The Company and the Trustee may charge for its expenses in replacing a Security.


 


	Section 2.08	Outstanding Securities.


 


Securities outstanding at any time are all Securities authenticated
by the Trustee except for those cancelled by it and those described in this Section. A Security does not cease to be outstanding
because the Company or one of its Affiliates holds the Security.


 






    - 9 -


     


    

 


If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07,
it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to the Company that the replaced Security is held by
a “protected purchaser” (as such term is defined in the NYUCC).


 


If the Paying Agent holds on a redemption date, purchase date
or maturity date money sufficient to pay Securities payable on that date, then on and after that date such Securities cease to
be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.


 


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


 


	Section 2.09	Temporary Securities.


 


Until definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Company
may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities. 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, upon surrender for cancellation of the temporary Security, the Company shall execute and
the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Securities in exchange for temporary Securities. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities
shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities authenticated and delivered
hereunder.


 


	Section 2.10	Cancellation.


 


The Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee
for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for registration
of transfer, exchange, redemption, purchase or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel and dispose of such cancelled
or tendered securities, or retain in accordance with its standard retention policy, all Securities surrendered for registration
of transfer, exchange, redemption, purchase, payment or cancellation. Unless the Authorizing Resolution or supplemental indenture
so provides, the Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities that it has previously paid or delivered to the Trustee
for cancellation.


 


	Section 2.11	Defaulted Interest.


 


If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Securities
of any Series, it shall pay the defaulted interest plus any interest payable on the defaulted interest to the persons who
are Securityholders of such Series on a subsequent special record date. The Company shall fix such special record date and
a payment date which shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee. At least 15 days before such special record date, the Company
shall send to each Securityholder of the relevant Series a notice that states the record date, the payment date and the amount
of defaulted interest to be paid. On or before the date such notice is sent, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent money
sufficient to pay the amount of defaulted interest to be so paid. The Company may pay defaulted interest in any other lawful manner
if, after written notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable
by the Trustee.


 


	Section 2.12	Treasury Securities.


 


In determining whether the Holders of the required principal
amount of Securities of a Series have concurred in any direction, waiver, consent or notice, Securities owned by the Company
or any of its Affiliates shall be considered as though they are not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether
the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Securities which a Trust Officer of the
Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so considered.


 






    - 10 -


     


    

 


	Section 2.13	CUSIP/ISIN Numbers.


 


The Company in issuing the Securities of any Series may
use a “CUSIP” and/or “ISIN” or other similar number, and if so, the Trustee shall use the CUSIP and/or
ISIN or other similar number in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders of such Securities; provided
that no representation is hereby deemed to be made by the Trustee as to the correctness or accuracy of any such CUSIP and/or ISIN
or other similar number printed in the notice or on such Securities, and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification
numbers printed on such Securities. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in any CUSIP and/or
ISIN or other similar number.


 


	Section 2.14	Deposit of Moneys.


 


Prior to 11:00 a.m. New York City time on each interest
payment date and maturity date with respect to each Series of Securities, the Company shall have deposited with the Paying
Agent in immediately available funds money in the applicable currency sufficient to make cash payments due on such interest payment
date or maturity date, as the case may be, in a timely manner which permits the Paying Agent to remit payment to the Holders of
such Series on such interest payment date or maturity date, as the case may be.


 


	Section 2.15	Book-Entry Provisions for Global Security.


 


(a) Any Global Security of a Series initially shall
(i) be registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of such Depositary, (ii) be delivered to the Trustee as
custodian for such Depositary and (iii) bear any required legends.


 


Members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Agent
Members”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Security held on their behalf by the Depositary,
or the Trustee as its custodian, or under the Global Security, and the Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and
any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner of the Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect
to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and
its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Security.


 


(b) Transfers of any Global Security shall be limited to
transfers in whole, but not in part, to the Depositary, its successors or their respective nominees. Interests of beneficial owners
in the Global Security may be transferred or exchanged for Definitive Securities in accordance with the rules and procedures
of the Depositary. In addition, Definitive Securities shall be transferred to all beneficial owners in exchange for their beneficial
interests in a Global Security if (i) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary
for the Global Security and a successor depository is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of such notice or (ii) an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Registrar has received a request from the Depositary to issue Definitive
Securities.


 


(c) In connection with any transfer or exchange of a portion
of the beneficial interest in any Global Security to beneficial owners pursuant to paragraph (b), the Registrar shall (if
one or more Definitive Securities are to be issued) reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in the principal amount
of the Global Security in an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Global Security to be transferred,
and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, one or more Definitive Securities of like Series and
amount.


 


(d) In connection with the transfer of an entire Global
Security to beneficial owners pursuant to paragraph (b), the Global Security shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee
for cancellation, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified
by the Depositary in exchange for its beneficial interest in the Global Security, an equal aggregate principal amount of Definitive
Securities of the same Series in authorized denominations.


 






    - 11 -


     


    

 


(e) The Holder of any Global Security may grant proxies
and otherwise authorize any person, including Agent Members and persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take
any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Securities of such Series.


 


(f) Unless otherwise provided in the Authorizing Resolution
or supplemental indenture for a particular Series of Securities, each Global Security of such Series shall bear legends
in substantially the following forms:


 


“THIS GLOBAL SECURITY IS HELD BY THE DEPOSITARY (AS DEFINED
IN THE INDENTURE GOVERNING THIS SECURITY) OR ITS NOMINEE IN CUSTODY FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE HOLDERS OF BENEFICIAL INTERESTS HEREIN,
AND IS NOT TRANSFERABLE TO ANY PERSON UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES EXCEPT THAT (I) THE TRUSTEE MAY MAKE ANY SUCH NOTATIONS
HEREON AS MAY BE REQUIRED PURSUANT TO THE INDENTURE, (II) THIS GLOBAL SECURITY MAY BE EXCHANGED IN WHOLE BUT NOT
IN PART PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.06 OF THE INDENTURE, (III) THIS GLOBAL SECURITY MAY BE DELIVERED TO THE TRUSTEE
FOR CANCELLATION PURSUANT TO THE INDENTURE AND (IV) THIS GLOBAL SECURITY MAY BE TRANSFERRED TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY
WITH THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE COMPANY.”


 


“UNLESS AND UNTIL IT IS EXCHANGED IN WHOLE OR IN PART FOR
SECURITIES IN DEFINITIVE FORM, THIS SECURITY MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT AS A WHOLE BY THE DEPOSITARY TO A NOMINEE OF THE
DEPOSITARY OR BY A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY TO THE DEPOSITARY OR TO ANOTHER NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY THE DEPOSITARY OR
ANY SUCH NOMINEE TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE OF SUCH SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY. UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN
AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY, A NEW YORK CORPORATION (“DTC”), TO ISSUER OR ITS AGENT FOR
REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE, OR PAYMENT, ANY CERTIFICATE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CEDE & CO. OR IN SUCH
OTHER NAME AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC (AND ANY PAYMENT IS MADE TO CEDE & CO. OR TO SUCH OTHER
ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE, OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE
BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL INASMUCH AS THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN.”


 


	Section 2.16	No Duty to Monitor.


 


The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine
or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect
to any transfer of any interest in any Security (including any transfers between or among Agent Members or beneficial owners of
interests 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.


 


Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall have any responsibility
for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary.

ARTICLE THREE


REDEMPTION


 


	Section 3.01	Notices to Trustee.


 


Securities of a Series that are redeemable prior to maturity
shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms and, unless the Authorizing Resolution or supplemental indenture provides otherwise,
in accordance with this Article Three.


 


If the Company wants to redeem Securities pursuant to Paragraph
4 of the Securities, it shall notify the Trustee in writing of the redemption date and the principal amount of Securities to
be redeemed. Any such notice may be cancelled at any time prior to notice of such redemption being sent to Holders. Any such cancelled
notice shall be void and of no effect.


 


If the Company wants to credit any Securities previously redeemed,
retired or acquired against any redemption pursuant to Paragraph 5 of the Securities, it shall notify the Trustee of the
amount of the credit and it shall deliver any Securities not previously delivered to the Trustee for cancellation with such notice.


 


The Company shall give each notice provided for in this Section 3.01
at least 15 days before the notice of any such redemption is to be delivered to Holders (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory
to the Trustee).


 


	Section 3.02	Selection of Securities to be Redeemed.


 


If fewer than all of the Securities of a Series are to
be redeemed, the Securities to be redeemed shall be selected pro rata, by lot, or such other method the Trustee (or depository,
as applicable) considers fair and appropriate and, in the case of Global Securities, in a manner that complies with applicable
requirements of the Depositary. The Trustee (or depository, as applicable) shall make the selection from Securities outstanding
not previously called for redemption and shall promptly notify the Company of the serial numbers or other identifying attributes
of the Securities so selected. The Trustee (or depository, as applicable) may select for redemption portions of the principal of
Securities that have denominations larger than the minimum denomination for the Series. Securities and portions of them it selects
shall be in amounts equal to a permissible denomination for the Series. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Securities called
for redemption also apply to portions of Securities called for redemption.


 


Unless otherwise provided in the Authorizing Resolution or supplemental
indenture relating to a Series, if any Security selected for partial redemption is converted into or exchanged for Common Stock
or other securities, cash or other property in part before termination of the conversion or exchange right with respect to the
portion of the Security so selected, the converted portion of such Security shall be deemed (so far as may be) to be the portion
selected for redemption. Securities which have been converted or exchanged during a selection of Securities to be redeemed shall
be treated by the Trustee as outstanding for the purpose of such selection.


 


	Section 3.03	Notice of Redemption.


 


At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption
date, the Company shall mail a notice of redemption by first-class mail, postage prepaid (or in the case of Global Securities,
deliver electronically in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary), to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed.


 


The notice shall identify the Securities to be redeemed and
shall state:


 


	 	(1)	the redemption date; 
	 	(2)	the redemption price or the formula pursuant to which such price will be calculated; 
	 	(3)	if any 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 Security or Securities in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion shall be issued upon cancellation of the original Security; 


 






    - 13 -


     


    

 


	 	(4)	in the case of Securities of a Series that are convertible or exchangeable into shares of the Company’s common stock or other securities, cash or other property, the conversion or exchange price or rate, the date or dates on which the right to convert or exchange the principal of the Securities of such Series to be redeemed will commence or terminate and the place or places where such Securities may be surrendered for conversion or exchange; 
	 	(5)	the name and address of the Paying Agent; 
	 	(6)	that Securities called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price; 
	 	(7)	that interest on Securities called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date; 
	 	(8)	that the Securities are being redeemed pursuant to the mandatory redemption or the optional redemption provisions, as applicable; and 
	 	(9)	the CUSIP number and that no representation is hereby deemed to be made be made by the Trustee as to the correctness or accuracy of any such CUSIP and/or ISIN or other similar number printed in the notice or on such Securities, and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on such Securities. 


 


At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice
of redemption in the Company’s name and at its expense; provided, however, that the Company shall deliver to
the Trustee at least 15 days prior to the date on which notice of redemption is to be sent or such shorter period as may be satisfactory
to the Trustee, an Officers’ 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 3.04	Effect of Notice of Redemption.


 


Once notice of redemption is sent, Securities called for redemption
become due and payable on the redemption date and at the redemption price as set forth in the notice of redemption. Upon surrender
to the Paying Agent, such Securities shall be paid at the redemption price, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption
date. Notices of redemption may be subject to one or more conditions. In the event that any such conditions are not satisfied the
Company may amend or revoke such notice of redemption by sending notice to Securityholders (with a copy to the Trustee) in accordance
with the applicable procedures of the Depository.


 


	Section 3.05	Deposit of Redemption Price.


 


On or before the redemption date, the Company shall deposit
with the Paying Agent immediately available funds in the applicable currency sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued
interest on all Securities to be redeemed on that date.


 


	Section 3.06	Securities Redeemed in Part.


 


Upon surrender of a Security that is redeemed in part, the Company
shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate for each Holder a new Security of the same Series equal in principal amount
to the unredeemed portion of the Security surrendered.

ARTICLE FOUR


COVENANTS


 


	Section 4.01	Payment of Securities.


 


The Company shall pay the principal of and interest on a Series on
the dates, in the currency and in the manner provided in the Securities of the Series. An installment of principal or interest
shall be considered paid on the date it is due if the Paying Agent holds on that date money in the applicable currency designated
for and sufficient to pay the installment.


 


The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate
borne by the Series; it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate.


 


	Section 4.02	Maintenance of Office or Agency.


 


The Company shall maintain the office or agency required under
Section 2.03. The Company shall give prior written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location,
of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to
furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the
address of the Trustee.


 


	Section 4.03	Compliance Certificate.


 


The Company shall deliver to the Trustee within 120 days after
the end of each fiscal year of the Company an Officers’ Certificate stating whether or not the signers know of any continuing
Default by the Company in performing any of its obligations under this Indenture. If they do know of such a Default, the certificate
shall describe the Default. In addition, the Company will notify the Trustee within 5 business days upon the Company’s knowledge
of a Default.


 


	Section 4.04	Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws.


 


The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do
so) that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any
stay or extension law or any usury law or other law that would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of
the principal of or interest on the Securities of any Series as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time
hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and (to the extent that it may lawfully
do so) the Company expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede
the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though
no such law had been enacted.


 


ARTICLE FIVE


SUCCESSOR CORPORATION


 


	Section 5.01	Company May Merge, etc.


 


Nothing contained in this Indenture shall prevent any consolidation
or merger of the Company with or into any other Person (whether or not affiliated with the Company) or successive consolidations
or mergers in which the Company or its successor or successors shall be a party or parties, or shall prevent any sale, conveyance,
transfer or other disposition of the property of the Company or its successor or successors as an entirety, or substantially as
an entirety, to any other Person (whether or not affiliated with the Company or its successor or successors); provided, however,
the Company hereby covenants and agrees that, upon any such consolidation or merger (in each case, if the Company is not the survivor
of such transaction) or any such sale, conveyance, transfer or other disposition (other than a sale, conveyance, transfer or other
disposition to a Subsidiary of the Company), the due and punctual payment of the principal of (premium, if any) and interest on
all of the Securities of all series in accordance with the terms of each series, according to their tenor, and the due and punctual
performance and observance of all the covenants and conditions of this Indenture with respect to each
series or established with respect to such series pursuant to Section 2.01 to be kept or performed by the Company shall be
expressly assumed, by supplemental indenture (which shall conform to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, as then in effect)
reasonably satisfactory in form to the Trustee executed and delivered to the Trustee by the entity formed by such consolidation,
or into which the Company shall have been merged, or by the entity which shall have acquired such property.


 






    - 15 -


     


    




 


Upon any such consolidation, merger, sale, lease, conveyance
or other disposition, the Successor will be substituted for the Company under the Indenture. The Successor may then exercise every
power and right of the Company under this Indenture, and except in the case of a lease, the Company will be released from all of
its liabilities and obligations in respect of the Securities and the Indenture. If the Company leases all or substantially all
of its assets the Company will not be released from its obligations to pay the principal of and interest, if any, on the Securities.


 


ARTICLE SIX


DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES


 


	Section 6.01	Events of Default.


 


An “Event of Default” on a Series occurs
if, voluntarily or involuntarily, whether by operation of law or otherwise, any of the following occurs:


 


	 	(1)	the failure by the Company to pay interest on any Security of such Series when the same becomes due and payable and the continuance of any such failure for a period of 30 days; 
	 	(2)	the failure by the Company to pay the principal of any Security of such Series when the same becomes due and payable at maturity, upon acceleration, redemption or otherwise; 
	 	(3)	the failure by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to comply with any of its agreements or covenants in, or provisions of, the Securities of such Series or this Indenture (as they relate thereto) and such failure continues for the period and after the notice specified below (except in the case of a default with respect to Article Five (or any other provision specified in the applicable supplemental indenture or Authorizing Resolution), which will constitute Events of Default with notice but without passage of time); 
	 	(4)	default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness (other than Non-Recourse Indebtedness) for money borrowed by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries), whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists or is created after the Issue Date, if that default: 


 


	 	(A)	is caused by a failure to pay at final stated maturity the principal amount of such Indebtedness prior to the expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness on the date of such default (a “Payment Default”); or 
	 	(B)	results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity without such Indebtedness having been discharged or such acceleration having been cured, waived, rescinded or annulled for the period and after the notice specified below, 


 


and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness,
together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity
of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $50 million or more;


 






    - 16 -


     


    

 


	 	(5)	the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law: 


 


	 	(A)	commences a voluntary case, 
	 	(B)	consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case, 
	 	(C)	consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its Property, or 
	 	(D)	makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; 


 


	 	(6)	a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that: 


 


	 	(A)	is for relief against the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary as debtor in an involuntary case, 
	 	(B)	appoints a Custodian of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary or a Custodian for all or substantially all of the Property of the Company, or 
	 	(C)	orders the liquidation of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary, and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 days. 


 


A Default as described in subclause (3) or (4)(B) above
will not be deemed an Event of Default until the Trustee notifies the Company, or the Holders of at least 25 percent in principal
amount of the then outstanding Securities of the applicable Series notify the Company and the Trustee, of the Default and
(except in the case of a default with respect to Article Five (or any other provision specified in the applicable supplemental
indenture or Authorizing Resolution)) the Company does not cure the Default within (a) with respect to in subclause (3),
60 days after receipt of the notice and (b) with respect to subclause (4)(B), 30 days after receipt of the notice.
The notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that the notice is a “Notice of Default.”
If such a Default is cured within such time period, it ceases to exist, without any action by the Trustee or any other Person.


 


The term “Custodian” means any receiver,
trustee, assignee, liquidator, custodian or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law.


 


	Section 6.02	Acceleration.


 


If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default with
respect to the Company resulting from subclause (5) or (6) above), shall have occurred and be continuing
under the Indenture, the Trustee by notice to the Company, or the Holders of at least 25 percent in principal amount of the Securities
of the applicable Series then outstanding by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare all Securities of such Series to
be due and payable immediately. Upon such declaration of acceleration, the amounts due and payable on the Securities of such Series will
be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default with respect to the Company specified in subclauses (5) or (6) above
occurs, all amounts due and payable on the Securities of such Series will ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable
without any declaration, notice or other act on the part of the Trustee and the Company or any Holder.


 


Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding
Securities of such Series may rescind an acceleration with respect to such Series and its consequence (except an acceleration
due to nonpayment of principal or interest) if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing
Events of Default (other than the non-payment of accelerated principal) have been cured or waived.


 


No such rescission shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent
Event of Default, or shall impair any right or power consequent thereon.


 






    - 17 -


     


    

 


	Section 6.03	Other Remedies.


 


If an Event of Default on a Series occurs and is continuing,
the Trustee may pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of or interest
on the Series or to enforce the performance of any provision in the Securities or this Indenture applicable to the Series.


 


The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess
any of the Securities or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Securityholder
in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver
of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative.


 


	Section 6.04	Waiver of Existing Defaults.


 


Subject to Section 10.02, the Holders of a majority
in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of a Series on behalf of all the Holders of the Series by written notice
to the Trustee may waive an existing Default on such Series and its consequences. When a Default is waived, it is cured and
stops continuing, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured; but no such waiver shall extend
to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.


 


	Section 6.05	Control by Majority.


 


The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding
Securities of a Series may 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 it with respect to such Series. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow
any direction (i) that conflicts with law or this Indenture, (ii) that, subject to Section 7.01, the Trustee
determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Securityholders, (iii) that would involve the Trustee in personal
liability, or (iv) if the Trustee shall not have been provided with indemnity satisfactory to it.


 


	Section 6.06	Limitation on Suits.


 


A Securityholder of a Series may not pursue any remedy
with respect to this Indenture or the Series unless:


 


	 	(1)	the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default on the Series; 
	 	(2)	the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of the Series make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy; 
	 	(3)	such Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense; 
	 	(4)	the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of indemnity; and 
	 	(5)	no written request inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.06. 


 


A Securityholder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the
rights of another Holder of Securities of the same Series or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of Securities
of the same Series (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such
actions or forbearances by such Holder are unduly prejudicial to another Holder).


 






    - 18 -


     


    

 


	Section 6.07	Rights of Holders to Receive Payment.


 


Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right
of any Holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on any Security, on or after the respective due dates expressed in
the Security, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, is absolute and unconditional
and shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of the Holder.


 


	Section 6.08	Collection Suit by Trustee.


 


If an Event of Default in payment of interest or principal specified
in Section 6.01(1) or (2) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name
and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount of principal and interest remaining unpaid.


 


	Section 6.09	Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.


 


The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or
documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements, and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Securityholders allowed in any judicial proceedings
relative to the Company or its creditors or Property, and unless prohibited by applicable law or regulation, may vote on behalf
of the Holders in any election of a Custodian, and shall be entitled and empowered to collect and receive any moneys or other Property
payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby
authorized by each Securityholder to make such payments to the Trustee. Nothing herein shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee
to authorize or consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on behalf of any Securityholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of
the claim of any Securityholder except as aforesaid for the election of the Custodian.


 


	Section 6.10	Priorities.


 


If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article with
respect to Securities of any Series, it shall pay out the money in the following order:


 


	 	First:	to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 7.07; 
	 	Second:	to Securityholders of the Series for amounts due and unpaid on the Series for principal and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Series for principal and interest, respectively; and 
	 	Third:	to the Company or as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct. 


 


The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment
to Securityholders pursuant to this Section 6.10.


 


	Section 6.11	Undertaking for Costs.


 


In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under
this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may
require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion
may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having
the due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section does not apply
to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07 or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal
amount of the Series.

ARTICLE SEVEN


TRUSTEE


 


	Section 7.01	Duties of Trustee.


 


(a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
with respect to Securities of any Series, the Trustee shall exercise its rights and powers and use the same degree of care and

(b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:


 


(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.


 


(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 the requirements of this Indenture. The Trustee, however, in the case of
certificates or opinions specifically required by any provision hereof to be furnished to it, shall examine the certificates and
opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture but need not confirm or investigate the
accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts or matters stated therein.

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

money received by it except as the Trustee may agree with the Company. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated
from other funds except to the extent required by law.


 


(g) None of the provisions contained in this Indenture
shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its
duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there shall be reasonable grounds for believing that the repayment
of such funds or adequate indemnity against such liability is not reasonably assured to it.


 


	Section 7.02	Rights of Trustee.



 


Subject to Section 7.01:


 


(a) The Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully
protected in acting or refraining from acting on any document, resolution, certificate, instrument, report, or direction believed

stated in the document, resolution, certificate, instrument, report, or direction.


 






    - 20 -

may require an Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both, which shall conform to Sections 12.04 and 12.05
hereof and containing such other statements as the Trustee reasonably deems necessary to perform its duties hereunder. The Trustee
shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on the Officers’ Certificate, Opinion
of Counsel or any other direction of the Company permitted hereunder.


 


(c) The Trustee may act through agents and shall not be
responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent appointed with due care.

in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion
of such counsel.


 


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


 


(g) For all purposes under this Indenture, the Trustee
shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any Event of Default unless written notice of any Event of Default is received
by the Trustee at its address specified in Section 12.02 hereof and such notice references the Securities generally,
the Company and this Indenture.


 


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


 


(i) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation
into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction,
consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion,
may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine
to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company,
personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost of the Company and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any
kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation.


 


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


 


(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, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder.


 


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


 


(m) In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable
for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces
beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military
disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss
or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services; it being understood that the Trustee

	Section 7.03	Individual Rights of Trustee.


 


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 its affiliates with the same rights it would have
if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights. The Trustee, however, must comply with Sections 7.10
and 7.11.


 


	Section 7.04	Trustee’s Disclaimer.


 


The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy
of this Indenture, the Securities or of any prospectus used to sell the Securities of any Series; it shall not be accountable for
the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Securities; it shall not be accountable for any money paid to the Company, or
upon the Company’s direction, if made under and in accordance with any provision of this Indenture; it shall not be responsible
for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee; and it shall not be responsible for
any statement of the Company in this Indenture or in the Securities other than its certificate of authentication.


 


	Section 7.05	Notice of Defaults.


 


If a Default on a Series occurs and is continuing and if
a responsible officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge of such Default, the Trustee shall deliver to each Securityholder of
the Series notice of the Default (which shall specify any uncured Default known to it) within 90 days after the Trustee obtains
such knowledge. Except in the case of a default in payment of principal of or interest on a Series, the Trustee may withhold the
notice if and so long as the board of directors of the Trustee, the executive or any trust committee of such directors and/or responsible
officers of the Trustee in good faith determine(s) that withholding the notice is in the interests of Holders of the Series.


 


	Section 7.06	Reports by Trustee to Holders.


 


Within 60 days after each May 15 beginning with the May 15
following the date of this Base Indenture, the Trustee shall mail to each Securityholder a brief report dated as of such May 15
that complies with TIA § 313(a) (but if no event described in TIA § 313(1) through (8) has occurred within
the twelve months preceding the reporting date no report in relation thereto need be transmitted). The Trustee also shall comply
with TIA § 313(b).


 


A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Securityholders
shall be delivered to the Company and filed by the Trustee with the SEC and each national securities exchange on which the Securities
are listed. The Company agrees to notify the Trustee of each national securities exchange on which the Securities are listed.


 


	Section 7.07	Compensation and Indemnity.


 


The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable
compensation for its services subject to any written agreement between the Trustee and the Company (which compensation shall not
be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust). The Company shall reimburse
the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation
and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel. The Company shall indemnify the Trustee, its officers, directors, employees
and agents and hold it harmless against any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense incurred or made by or on behalf of it in
connection with the administration of this Indenture or the trust hereunder and its duties hereunder including the costs and expenses
of defending itself against or investigating any claim in the premises. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim
of which it has received written notice and for which it may seek indemnity. The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify
against any loss or liability incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee’s, or its officers’, directors’, or
employees’ negligence or willful misconduct.

Unless otherwise provided in any supplemental indenture or Authorizing
Resolution relating to any Series, to ensure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee shall have a
lien prior to the Securities of all Series on all money or Property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in
trust to pay principal of or interest on particular Securities. When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection
with an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01 or in connection with Article Six hereof, the expenses
(including the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for services in connection therewith are to constitute
expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. Section 7.07 shall survive the discharge of the Indenture or resignation
or removal of Trustee.


 


	Section 7.08	Replacement of Trustee.


 


The Trustee may resign with respect to Securities of any or
all Series by so notifying the Company. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities (or of
the relevant Series) may remove the Trustee by so notifying the removed Trustee in writing (at any time when the Trustee holds
funds on behalf of the Company, upon 30 days’ prior written notice) and may appoint a successor trustee with the Company’s
consent. Such resignation or removal shall not take effect until the appointment by the Securityholders of the relevant Series or
the Company as hereinafter provided of a successor trustee and the acceptance of such appointment by such successor trustee. The
Company (at any time when the Trustee holds funds on behalf of the Company, upon 30 days’ prior written notice) may remove
the Trustee and any Securityholder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment
of a successor trustee for any or no reason, including if:


 


	 	(1)	the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 after written request by the Company or any bona fide Securityholder who has been a Securityholder for at least six months; 





	 	(2)	the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent; 





	 	(3)	a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its Property; or 





	 	(4)	the Trustee becomes incapable of acting. 


 


If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists
in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor trustee with respect to the Securities
of the relevant Series. If a successor trustee does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed,
the retiring Trustee at the expense of the Company, the Company or any Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction
for the appointment of a successor trustee.


 


A successor trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its
appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Immediately after that, the retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its
fees and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) hereunder, transfer all Property held
by it as Trustee to the successor trustee, 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 Trustee under this Indenture. A successor trustee shall mail notice
of its succession to each Securityholder.


 


	Section 7.09	Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.



 


If the Trustee consolidates with, merges with or into or converts
into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, the successor corporation
without any further act shall be the successor trustee.

requirements of TIA § 310(a)(1). The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $10,000,000 as set forth
in its most recent published annual report of condition. The Trustee shall comply with TIA § 310(b).


 


	Section 7.11	Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.



 


The Trustee shall comply with TIA § 311(a), excluding any
creditor relationship listed in TIA § 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA § 311(a) to
the extent indicated therein.


 


ARTICLE EIGHT 


DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE


 


	Section 8.01	Defeasance upon Deposit of Moneys or Government
Obligations.



 


(a) The Company may, at its option and at any time, elect
to have either paragraph (b) or paragraph (c) below be applied to the outstanding Securities of any Series upon
compliance with the applicable conditions set forth in paragraph (d).


 


(b) Upon the Company’s exercise under paragraph
(a) of the option applicable to this paragraph (b) with respect to any Series, the Company shall be deemed
to have been released and discharged from its obligations with respect to the outstanding Securities of the Series on the
date the applicable conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose,
such Legal Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by
the outstanding Securities of a Series, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes
of the Sections and matters under this Indenture referred to in (i) and (ii) below, and the Company shall be deemed to
have satisfied all its other obligations under such Securities and this Indenture insofar as such Securities are concerned, except
for the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (i) the rights of Holders of outstanding
Securities of a Series to receive solely from the trust fund described in paragraph (d) below and as more fully
set forth in such paragraph, payments in respect of the principal of and interest on such Securities when such payments are due
and (ii) obligations listed in Section 8.02, subject to compliance with this Section 8.01. The Company
may exercise its option under this paragraph (b) with respect to a Series notwithstanding the prior exercise of
its option under paragraph (c) below with respect to the Securities of the Series.


 


(c) Upon the Company’s exercise under paragraph
(a) of the option applicable to this paragraph (c) with respect to a Series, the Company shall be released
and discharged from the obligations under any covenant contained in Articles Four and Five and any other covenant
contained in or referenced in the Authorizing Resolution or supplemental indenture relating to such Series (to the extent
such release and discharge shall not be prohibited thereby), 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 to be
not “outstanding” for the purpose 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 deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes
hereunder. For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Securities of a Series, the Company
may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant,
whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of 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 of Default under Section 6.01(3) or otherwise, but, except as specified above, the remainder
of this Indenture and such Securities shall be unaffected thereby.


 






    -24-


     


    

 


(d) The following shall be the conditions to application
of either paragraph (b) or paragraph (c) above to the outstanding Securities of the applicable Series:


 


(1) The Company shall have irrevocably deposited in trust
with the Trustee (or another qualifying trustee), money in the currency in which the Securities of such Series are payable
or Government Obligations or a combination thereof in such amounts and at such times as are sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally
recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of and interest on the outstanding Securities of such Series to
maturity or redemption; provided, however, that the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) shall have received an
irrevocable written order from the Company instructing the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) to apply such money or the proceeds
of such Government Obligations to said payments with respect to the Securities of such Series to maturity or redemption;


 


(2) No Default or Event of Default (other than a Default
or Event of Default resulting from non-compliance with any covenant from which the Company is released upon effectiveness of such
Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) hereof, as applicable) shall have
occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or result therefrom;


 


(3) Such deposit will not result in a breach or violation
of, or constitute a default under, any other material instrument or agreement to which the Company or any of any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of their Property is bound;


 


(4) (i) In the event the Company elects paragraph
(b) hereof, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States, in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, to the effect that (A) the Company has received from, or there has been published
by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (B) since the Issue Date pertaining to such Series, there has been a change in
the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall state
that, or (ii) in the event the Company elects paragraph (c) hereof, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an
Opinion of Counsel in the United States, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, to the effect that, in the
case of clauses (i) and (ii), and subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, Holders of the Securities
of such Series will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and the
defeasance contemplated hereby and will be subject to federal income tax in the same amounts and in the same manner and at the
same times as would have been the case if such deposit and defeasance had not occurred;


 


(5) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an
Officers’ Certificate, stating that the deposit under clause (1) was not made by the Company with the intent
of preferring the Holders of the Securities of such Series over any other creditors of the Company or with the intent of defeating,
hindering, delaying or defrauding any other creditors of the Company or others; and


 


(6) The Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent specified herein relating to the defeasance contemplated
by this Section 8.01 have been complied with.


 


In the event all or any portion of the Securities of a Series are
to be redeemed through such irrevocable trust, the Company must make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee, at the time of such
deposit, for the giving of the notice of such redemption or redemptions by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company.


 


(e) In addition to the Company’s rights above under
this Section 8.01, the Company may terminate all of its obligations under this Indenture with respect to a Series,
when:


 


(1) All Securities of such Series theretofore authenticated
and delivered (other than Securities which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided
in Section 2.07 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 all such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (A) have become due and
payable, (B) will become due and payable at maturity within one year or (C) are to be called for redemption within one
year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the
expense, of the Company, and in each such case, the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee
(or another qualifying trustee) as trust funds in trust solely for that purpose an amount of money in the currency in which the
Securities of such Series are payable or Government Obligations or a combination thereof sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally
recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Securities of such Series not
theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal of and interest on the Securities of such Series, on the date
of such deposit or to the maturity or redemption date, as the case may be;


 






    -25-


     


    






 


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


 


(3) The Company has delivered irrevocable instructions
to the Trustee (or such other qualifying trustee), to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Securities of such Series at
maturity or redemption, as the case may be; and


 


(4) The Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, stating that all conditions precedent specified in this Section 8.01(e) relating
to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with.


 


	Section 8.02	Survival of the Company’s Obligations.


 


Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture
under Section 8.01, the Company’s obligations in Paragraph 8 of the Securities and Sections 2.03
through 2.07, 4.01, 7.07, 7.08, 8.04 and 8.05, however, shall survive until the Securities
of an applicable Series are no longer outstanding. Thereafter, the Company’s obligations in Paragraph 8 of the
Securities of such Series and Sections 7.02, 7.07, 8.04 and 8.05 shall survive (as they relate
to such Series) such satisfaction and discharge.


 


	Section 8.03	Application of Trust Money.


 


The Trustee shall hold in trust money or Government Obligations
deposited with it pursuant to Section 8.01. It shall apply the deposited money and the money from Government Obligations
in accordance with this Indenture to the payment of principal of and interest on the Securities of the defeased Series.


 


	Section 8.04	Repayment to the Company.


 


The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly pay to the Company
upon request any excess money or securities held by them at any time. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Company
upon request any money held by them for the payment of principal or interest that remains unclaimed for two years, provided,
however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of
the Company cause to be published once in a newspaper of general circulation in the City of New York or send to each such Holder
notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the
date of such publication or mailing, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company. After payment
to the Company, Securityholders entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors unless applicable
abandoned property law designates another person and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such money
shall cease.


 


	Section 8.05	Reinstatement.


 


If the Trustee is unable to apply any money or Government Obligations
in accordance with Section 8.01 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court
or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s obligations under
this Indenture and the Securities relating to the Series shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred
pursuant to Section 8.01 until such time as the Trustee is permitted to apply all such money or Government Obligations
in accordance with Section 8.01; provided, however, that (a) if the Company has made any payment
of interest on or principal of any Securities of the Series because of the reinstatement of its obligations hereunder, 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 and (b) unless otherwise required by any legal proceeding or any order or judgment of any
court or governmental authority, the Trustee shall return all such money or Government Obligations to the Company promptly after
receiving a written request therefor at any time, if such reinstatement of the Company’s obligations has occurred and continues
to be in effect.

	Section 10.02	With Consent of Holders.


 


The Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture
or the Securities of a Series without notice to any Securityholder of such Series but with the written consent of the
Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of each Series affected by the amendment
(including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Securities of such Series).
Each such Series shall vote as a separate class. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities
of any Series may waive compliance by the Company with any provision of the Securities of such Series or of this Indenture
relating to such Series without notice to any Securityholder (including any waiver granted in connection with a purchase of,
or tender offer or exchange offer for, Securities of such Series). Without the consent of each Holder of a Security affected thereby,
however, an amendment, supplement or waiver, including a waiver pursuant to Section 6.04, may not:


 


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


 


(2) reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of
interest, including defaulted interest, on any Security;


 


(3) reduce the principal of or extend the fixed maturity
of any Security or alter the provisions (including related definitions) with respect to redemption of any Security pursuant to
Article Three hereof or with respect to any obligations on the part of the Company to offer to purchase or to redeem
Securities of a Series pursuant to the Authorizing Resolution or supplemental indenture pertaining to such Series (it
being understood that only the consent of the Holders of a majority of the principal amount of the applicable Series of Securities
will be required in connection with the waiver or modification of any obligation by the Company to make an offer to purchase the
Securities of such Series as a result of a change of control prior to the occurrence of a change of control);


 


(4) make any change that adversely affects any right of
a Holder to convert or exchange any Security into or for shares of the Company’s common stock or other securities, cash or
other property in accordance with the terms of such Security;


 


(5) modify the ranking or priority of the Securities of
the relevant Series or any guarantee thereof;


 


(6) release any guarantor of any Series from any of
its obligations under its guarantee or this Indenture otherwise than in accordance with the terms of this Indenture;


 


(7) make any change in Sections 6.04, 6.07
or this Section 10.02;


 


(8) waive a continuing Default or Event of Default in the
payment of the principal of or interest on any Security; or


 


(9) make any Security payable at a place or in money other
than that stated in the Security, or impair the right of any Securityholder to bring suit as permitted by Section 6.07.


 


An amendment of a provision included solely for the benefit
of one or more Series does not affect the interests of Securityholders of any other Series.


 


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


 


	Section 10.03	Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.


 


Every amendment to or supplement of this Indenture or any Securities
shall comply with the TIA as then in effect.


 


	Section 10.04	Revocation and Effect of Consents.


 


A consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver by a Holder
shall bind 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. Unless otherwise provided in the consent
or the consent solicitation statement or other document describing the terms of the consent, any Holder or subsequent Holder may
revoke the consent as to its Security or portion of a Security. Any revocation of a consent by the Holder of a Security or any
such subsequent Holder shall be effective only if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date on which the Trustee
receives an Officers’ Certificate from the Company certifying that the requisite number of consents have been received.


 






    -28-


     


    

 


The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record
date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Securities of any Series entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement
or waiver, which record date shall be at least 10 days prior to the first solicitation of such consent. If a record date is fixed,
and if Holders otherwise have a right to revoke their consent under the consent or the consent solicitation statement or other
document describing the terms of the consent, then notwithstanding the second to last sentence of the immediately preceding paragraph,
those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled
to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent
shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such record date.


 


An amendment, supplement or waiver with respect to a Series becomes
effective upon the (i) receipt by the Company or the Trustee of the requisite consents, (ii) satisfaction of any conditions
to effectiveness as set forth in this Indenture or any indenture supplemental hereto containing such amendment, supplement or waiver
and (iii) execution of such amendment, supplement or waiver (or the related supplemental indenture) by the Company and the
Trustee. After an amendment, supplement or waiver with respect to a Series becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder of
such Series, unless it makes a change described in any of clauses (1) through (9) of Section 10.02,
in which case, the amendment, supplement or waiver shall bind a Holder of a Security who is affected thereby only if it has consented
to such amendment, supplement or waiver and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same
debt as the consenting Holder’s Security; provided that no such waiver shall impair or affect the right of any Holder
to receive payment of principal of and interest on a Security, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Security,
or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates without the consent of such Holder.


 


	Section 10.05	Notation on or Exchange of Securities.


 


If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a
Security, the Company may require the Holder of the Security to deliver it to the Trustee, at which time the Trustee shall place
an appropriate notation on the Security about the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Company or the
Trustee so determines, the Company in exchange for the Security shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Security that
reflects the changed terms.


 


	Section 10.06	Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.


 


Subject to Section 7.02(b), the Trustee shall sign
any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article if the amendment, supplement or waiver does not adversely
affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may but need not sign it. In signing
or refusing to sign such amendment or supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall be provided with and shall be fully protected in
relying upon, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that such amendment, supplement or
waiver is authorized or permitted by this Indenture, and (solely with respect to such Opinion of Counsel) that it will be valid
and binding upon the Company and enforceable in accordance with its terms.

	Section 11.01	Applicability of Article.


 


Whenever this Indenture provides for (i) any action
by, or the determination of any of the rights of, Holders of Securities of any Series in which not all of such
Securities are denominated in the same currency, or (ii) any distribution to Holders of Securities, in the absence of
any provision to the contrary pursuant to this Indenture or the Securities of any particular Series, any amount in respect of
any Security denominated in a Foreign Currency shall be treated for any such action or distribution as that amount of Dollars
that could be obtained for such amount on such reasonable basis of exchange and as of the record date with respect to
Securities of such Series (if any) for such action, determination of rights or distribution (or, if there shall be no
applicable record date, such other date reasonably proximate to the date of such action, determination of rights or
distribution) as the Company may specify in a written notice to the Trustee or, in the absence of such written notice, as the
Trustee may determine.

ASSERTIO HOLDINGS, INC.


 


[Title of Security]


 


ASSERTIO HOLDINGS, INC., a Delaware corporation (together
with its successors and assigns, the “Company”), issued this Security under an Indenture dated as of __________________,
(as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time in accordance therewith, the “Base Indenture”), as supplemented
by the Supplemental Indenture dated as of _____________________, (the “Supplemental Indenture” and together
with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), by and among the Company and __________________________________,
as trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”), to which reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective
rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders and of the terms upon which the
Securities are, and are to be, authorized and delivered. All terms used in this Security that are defined in the Indenture shall
have the meanings assigned to them therein.


 


1. Interest. The Company promises to pay interest
on the principal amount of this Security at the rate per annum shown above. The Company will pay interest semiannually on _____________________
and _____________________ of each year, commencing _____________________, ______, until the principal is paid or made available
for payment. Interest on the Securities will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided
for or, if no interest has been paid, from _____________________, ________, provided that, if there is no existing default
in the payment of interest, and if this Security is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the
next succeeding interest payment date, interest shall accrue from such interest payment date. Interest will be computed on the
basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.


 


2. Method of Payment. The Company will pay interest
on the Securities (except defaulted interest, if any, which will be paid on such special payment date to Holders of record on such
special record date as may be fixed by the Company or otherwise in accordance with the Indenture) to the persons who are registered
Holders of Securities at the close of business on the [Insert record dates] immediately preceding the interest payment date. Holders
must surrender Securities to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Company will pay principal and interest in money
of [Insert applicable country or currency] that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.


 


3. Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, the
Trustee will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change or appoint any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar without
notice. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar.


 


4. Optional Redemption.1
The Company may redeem the Securities at any time on or after _____________________, in whole or in part, at the following redemption
prices (expressed as a percentage of their principal amount) together with interest accrued and unpaid to the date fixed for redemption:





	 	 	 
	
        If redeemed during the twelve-month period commencing
on_______________ and ending on _______________ in each of the following years
	 	Percentage


 


[Insert provisions relating to redemption at option of Holders,
if any]


 


Notice of redemption will be sent at least 30 days but not more
than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed at its registered address. Securities in denominations
larger than _____________________2 may be redeemed in part. On and after the redemption date
interest ceases to accrue on Securities or portions of them called for redemption, provided that if the Company shall default
in the payment of such Securities at the redemption price together with accrued interest, interest shall continue to accrue at
the rate borne by the Securities.


 


	1	If applicable. 





	2	Insert applicable denominations and multiples. 


 






    A-2


     


    









 


5. Mandatory Redemption.3
The Company shall redeem [________]% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities originally issued under the Indenture on each
of [________________], which redemptions are calculated to retire [_____]% of the Securities originally issued prior to maturity.
Such redemptions shall be made at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued interest
to the redemption date. The Company may reduce the principal amount of Securities to be redeemed pursuant to this Paragraph
5 by the principal amount of any Securities previously redeemed, retired or acquired, otherwise than pursuant to this Paragraph
5, that the Company has delivered to the Trustee for cancellation and not previously credited to the Company’s obligations
under this Paragraph 5. Each such Security shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the redemption
price and the amount of such mandatory redemption payment shall be reduced accordingly.


 


6. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Securities
are in registered form only without coupons in denominations of ________________4 and integral
multiples of ________________ in excess thereof.5 A Holder may transfer or exchange Securities
by presentation of such Securities to the Registrar or a co-Registrar with a request to register the transfer or to exchange them
for an equal principal amount of Securities of other denominations. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to
