All Securities of any one
Series need not be issued at the same time, and may be issued from time to time, consistent with the terms of this Indenture, if so provided
by or pursuant to the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture or Officers’ Certificate referred to above, however, the authorized
principal amount of any Series may not be increased to provide for issuances of additional Securities of such Series, unless otherwise
provided in such Board Resolution, supplemental indenture or Officers’ Certificate.


 






    7 


     


    

 


	2.3.	EXECUTION AND AUTHENTICATION.


 


The Securities shall be executed
on behalf of the Company by two Officers of the Company or an Officer and an Assistant Secretary of the Company. Each such signature may
be either manual or facsimile. The Company’s seal may be impressed, affixed, imprinted or reproduced on the Securities and may be
in facsimile form.


 


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


 


A Security shall not be valid
until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that
the Security has been authenticated under this Indenture. The Trustee shall at any time, and from time to time, authenticate Securities
for original issue in the principal amount provided in the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officers’ Certificate,
upon receipt by the Trustee of a Company Order. Such Company Order may authorize authentication and delivery pursuant to oral or electronic
instructions from the Company or its duly authorized agent or agents, which oral instructions shall be promptly confirmed in writing.
Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.


 


The aggregate principal amount
of Securities of any Series outstanding at any time may not exceed any limit upon the maximum principal amount for such Series set forth
in the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officers’ Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.2, except as
provided in Section 2.8.


 


Prior to the issuance of Securities
of any Series, the Trustee shall have received and (subject to Section 7.1) shall be fully protected in relying on: (a) the
Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officers’ Certificate establishing the form of the Securities of that Series
or of Securities within that Series and the terms of the Securities of that Series or of Securities within that Series, (b) an Officers’
Certificate complying with Section 10.4, and (c) an Opinion of Counsel complying with Section 10.4.


 


The Trustee shall have the
right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Securities of any Series: (a) if the Trustee, being advised in writing by outside
counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken; or (b) if the Trustee in good faith by its board of directors or
trustees, executive committee or a trust committee of directors and/or vice-presidents shall reasonably determine that such action would
expose the Trustee to personal liability, or cause it to have a conflict of interest with respect to Holders of any then outstanding Series
of Securities.


 


The Trustee may appoint an
authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Securities. An authenticating agent may authenticate Securities whenever
the Trustee may do so. Any appointment shall be evidenced by an instrument signed by an authorized officer of the Trustee, a copy of which
shall be furnished to the Company. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent.
An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with the Company or an Affiliate of the Company.


 


	2.4.	REGISTRAR AND PAYING AGENT.


 


The Company shall maintain
in each Place of Payment for any Series of Securities (i) an office or agency where such Securities may be presented for registration
of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”), (ii) an office or agency where such Securities may be presented for payment
(“Paying Agent”), and PROVIDED, 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 register for the Securities maintained by the Registrar), and (iii) an
office or agency where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities and this Indenture may be served (“Service
Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Securities and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may have one or more
co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The Company shall give prompt 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 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 as set forth in Section 10.2. If the Company acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money held by it for the
payment of principal of, and interest and premium, if any, on, the Securities and hold it as a separate trust fund. The Company may change
any Paying Agent, Registrar, co-registrar or any other Agent without notice to any Securityholder.


 






    8 


     


    

 


The Company may also from
time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Securities may be presented or surrendered for any or all such
purposes, and may from time to time rescind such designations; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such designation or rescission shall in any
manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in each Place of Payment for Securities of any Series for
such purposes. The Company hereby initially designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as such office of the Company. The Company
shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of such designation or rescission, and of any change in the location of any such other
office or agency.


 


The Company shall enter into
an appropriate agency agreement with any Registrar or Paying Agent not a party to this Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions
of this Indenture that relate to such Agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of any such Agent. If the Company
fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, or agent for service of notices and demands, or fails to give the foregoing notice, the
Trustee shall act as such. The Company hereby appoints the Trustee as the initial Registrar, Paying Agent and Service Agent for each Series
unless another Registrar, Paying Agent or Service Agent, as the case may be, is appointed prior to the time Securities of that Series
are first issued.


 


	2.5.	PAYING AGENT TO HOLD ASSETS IN TRUST.


 


The Trustee as Paying Agent
shall, and the Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that each Paying Agent shall, hold in
trust for the benefit of the Holders of any Series of Securities or the Trustee all assets held by the Paying Agent for the payment of
principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on, such Series of Securities (whether such assets have been distributed to it by the Company
or any other obligor on such Series of Securities), and the Company and the Paying Agent shall notify the Trustee in writing of any Default
by the Company (or any other obligor on such Series of Securities) in making any such payment. The Company at any time may require a Paying
Agent to distribute all assets held by it to the Trustee and account for any assets disbursed, and the Trustee may, at any time during
the continuance of any payment default with respect to any Series of Securities, upon written request to a Paying Agent, require such
Paying Agent to distribute all assets held by it to the Trustee and to account for any assets distributed. Upon distribution to the Trustee
of all assets that shall have been delivered by the Company to the Paying Agent, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for
such assets.


 


	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. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee as of each regular record date
for the payment of interest on the Securities of a Series and before each related 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.


 


	2.7.	TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE.


 


When Securities of a Series
are presented to the Registrar with a request to register the transfer thereof, the Registrar shall register the transfer as requested
if the requirements of applicable law are met, and when such Securities of a Series are presented to the Registrar with a request to exchange
them for an equal principal amount of other authorized denominations of Securities of the same Series, the Registrar shall make the exchange
as requested. To permit transfers and exchanges, upon surrender of any Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency maintained
pursuant to Section 2.4, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Securities at the Registrar’s request.


 


If Securities are issued as
Global Securities, the provisions of Section 2.15 shall apply.


 


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


 






    9 


     


    

 


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


 


Any exchange or transfer shall
be without charge, except that the Company may require payment by the Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in relation to a transfer or exchange, but this provision shall not apply to any exchange pursuant to Section 2.11,
3.6 or 8.5. The Trustee shall not be required to register transfers of Securities of any Series, or to exchange Securities of any Series,
for a period of [   ] days before the record date for selection for redemption of such Securities. The Trustee shall
not be required to exchange or register transfers of Securities of any Series called or being called for redemption in whole or in part,
except the unredeemed portion of such Security being redeemed in part.


 


	2.8.	REPLACEMENT SECURITIES.


 


If a mutilated Security is
surrendered to the Trustee, or if the Holder of a Security presents evidence to the satisfaction of the Company and the Trustee that the
Security has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Security
of the same Series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. An indemnity bond may
be required by the Company or the Trustee that is sufficient in the reasonable judgment of the Company or the Trustee, as the case may
be, to protect the Company, the Trustee or any Agent from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Security is replaced. The Company
may charge such Holder for the Company’s out-of-pocket expenses in replacing a Security, including the fees and expenses of the
Trustee. Every replacement Security shall constitute an original additional 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.


 


	2.9.	OUTSTANDING SECURITIES.


 


Securities outstanding at
any time are all Securities authenticated by the Trustee, except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation and
those described in this Section 2.9 as not outstanding.


 


If a Security is replaced
pursuant to Section 2.8 (other than a mutilated Security surrendered for replacement), it ceases to be outstanding until the Company
and the Trustee receive proof satisfactory to each of them that the replaced Security is held by a bona fide purchaser. A mutilated Security
ceases to be outstanding upon surrender of such Security and replacement thereof pursuant to Section 2.8.


 


If a Paying Agent holds on
a Redemption Date or the Stated Maturity money sufficient to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on, Securities
payable on that date, and is not prohibited from paying such money to the Holders thereof pursuant to the terms of this Indenture (PROVIDED,
that if such Securities are to be redeemed, notice of such redemption has been duly given pursuant to this Indenture or provision therefor
satisfactory to the Trustee has been made), then on and after that date such Securities cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases
to accrue.


 


A Security does not cease
to be outstanding solely because the Company or an Affiliate holds the Security.


 


	2.10.	WHEN TREASURY SECURITIES DISREGARDED; DETERMINATION OF HOLDERS’ ACTION.


 


In determining whether the
Holders of the required aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any Series have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent,
the Securities of any Series owned by the Company or any other obligor on such Securities, or by any Affiliate of any of them, shall be
disregarded, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver
or consent, only Securities of such Series which the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Securities of such Series
so owned which have been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee
the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to the Securities of such Series and that the pledgee is not the Company or any other
obligor on the Securities of such Series, or an Affiliate of any of them.


 






    10 


     


    

 


	2.11.	TEMPORARY SECURITIES.


 


Until definitive Securities
are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate, temporary Securities. Temporary Securities
shall be substantially in the form, and shall carry all rights, of definitive Securities, but may have variations that the Company considers
appropriate for temporary Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate,
definitive Securities in exchange for temporary Securities without charge to the Holder.


 


	2.12.	CANCELLATION.


 


All Securities surrendered
for payment, redemption or registration of transfer or exchange, or for credit against any sinking fund payment, shall, if surrendered
to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee
for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever,
and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated
hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered
to them for transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee or, at the direction of the Trustee, the Registrar or the Paying Agent, and no
one else, shall cancel, and at the written request of the Company shall dispose of, all Securities surrendered for transfer, exchange,
payment or cancellation. If the Company shall acquire any of the Securities, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction
of the Indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and until the same are surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation pursuant
to this Section 2.12. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in
this Section 2.12, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture.


 


	2.13.	PAYMENT OF INTEREST; DEFAULTED INTEREST; COMPUTATION OF INTEREST.


 


Except as otherwise provided
as contemplated by Section 2.2 with respect to any Series of Securities, interest on any Security which is payable, and is punctually
paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security is registered at the close
of business on the regular record date for such interest, as provided in the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officers’
Certificate establishing the terms of such Series.


 


If the Company defaults in
a payment of interest on the Securities, it shall pay the defaulted amounts, plus any interest payable on defaulted amounts pursuant to
Section 4.1, to the Persons who are Securityholders on a subsequent special record date, which date shall be the [  
] day next preceding the date fixed by the Company for the payment of defaulted interest, or the next succeeding Business Day if
such date is not a Business Day. At least [   ] days before the special record date, the Company shall mail or cause
to be mailed to each Securityholder, with a copy to the Trustee, a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the
amount of defaulted interest, and interest payable on such defaulted interest, if any, to be paid.


 


Except as otherwise specified
as contemplated by Section 2.2 for Securities of any Series, interest on the Securities of each Series shall be computed on the basis
of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.


 


	2.14.	CUSIP NUMBER.


 


The Company in issuing the
Securities may use one or more “CUSIP” numbers, and, if the Company does so, the Trustee shall use the CUSIP number(s) in
notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders, PROVIDED, that any such notice may state that no representation is made
as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number(s) printed in the notice or on the Securities, and that reliance may be placed only
on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and that any such redemption or exchange shall not be affected by any defect
in or omission of any such numbers.


 






    11 


     


    

 


	2.15.	PROVISIONS FOR GLOBAL SECURITIES.


 


(a) A Board Resolution, a
supplemental indenture hereto or an Officers’ Certificate 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 Depository for such Global Securities or Securities.


 


(b) Notwithstanding any provisions
to the contrary contained in Section 2.7 and in addition thereto, if, and only if the Depository (i) at any time is unwilling
or unable to continue as Depository for such Global Security or ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and (ii) a
successor Depository is not appointed by the Company within [   ] days after the date the Company is so informed in
writing or becomes aware of the same, the Company promptly will execute and deliver to the Trustee definitive Securities, and the Trustee,
upon receipt of a Company Request for the authentication and delivery of such definitive Securities (which the Company will promptly execute
and deliver to the Trustee) and an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that such Global Security shall be so exchangeable, will
authenticate and deliver definitive Securities, without charge, registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depository
shall direct in writing (pursuant to instructions from its direct and indirect participants or otherwise) in an aggregate principal amount
equal to the principal amount of the Global Security with like tenor and terms. Upon the exchange of a Global Security for definitive
Securities, such Global Security shall be canceled by the Trustee. Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for definitive
Securities, as provided in this Section 2.15(b), a Global Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depository with
respect to such Global Security to a nominee of such Depository, by a nominee of such Depository to such Depository or another nominee
of such Depository or by the Depository or any such nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of such a successor Depository.


 


(c) 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 Depository or a nominee of the Depository.
This Security is exchangeable for Securities registered in the name of a Person other than the Depository or its nominee only in the limited
circumstances described in the Indenture, and may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository,
by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or another nominee of the Depository or by the Depository or any such nominee to a successor
Depository or a nominee of such a successor Depository.”


 


(d) The Depository, 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 the Indenture.


 


(e) Notwithstanding the other
provisions of this Indenture, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.2, payment of the principal of, and interest
and premium, if any, on, any Global Security shall be made to the Depository or its nominee in its capacity as the Holder thereof.


 


(f) Except as provided in
Section 2.15(e) above, the Company, the Trustee and any Agent shall treat a Person as the Holder of such principal amount of outstanding
Securities of any Series represented by a Global Security as shall be specified in a written statement of the Depository (which may be
in the form of a participants’ list for such Series) with respect to such Global Security, for purposes of obtaining any consents,
declarations, waivers or directions required to be given by the Holders pursuant to this Indenture, PROVIDED, that until the Trustee is
so provided with a written statement, it may treat the Depository or any other Person in whose name a Global Security is registered as
the owner of such Global Security for the purpose of receiving payment of the principal of, and any premium and (subject to Section 2.13)
any interest on, such Global Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the
Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.


 






    12 


     


    

 


	2.16.	PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS.


 


Prior to due presentment of
a Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee, the Registrar and any agent of the Company, the Registrar or the Trustee
may treat the Person in whose name such Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of the
principal of, and any premium and (subject to Section 2.13) any interest on, such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever,
and none of the Company, the Trustee, the Registrar or any agent of the Company, the Trustee or the Registrar shall be affected by notice
to the contrary.


 


ARTICLE 3


 


REDEMPTION


 


	3.1.	NOTICES TO TRUSTEE.


 


The Company may, with respect
to any Series of Securities, reserve the right to redeem and pay the Series of Securities, or may covenant to redeem and pay the Series
of Securities or any part thereof, prior to the Stated Maturity thereof at such time and on such terms as provided for in such Securities
or the related Board Resolution, supplemental indenture or Officers’ Certificate. If a Series of Securities is redeemable and the
Company elects to redeem all or part of such Series of Securities, it shall notify the Trustee of the Redemption Date and the principal
amount of Securities to be redeemed at least 45 days (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee) before the Redemption
Date. Any such notice may be canceled at any time prior to notice of such redemption being mailed to any Holder, and shall thereby be
void and of no effect.


 


	3.2.	SELECTION BY TRUSTEE OF SECURITIES TO BE REDEEMED.


 


Unless otherwise indicated
for a particular Series of Securities by a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture or an Officers’ Certificate, if fewer than
all of the Securities of a Series are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Securities of a Series to be redeemed pro rata, by
lot or by any other method that the Trustee considers fair and appropriate (unless the Company specifically directs the Trustee otherwise)
and, if such Securities are listed on any securities exchange, by a method that complies with the requirements of such exchange.


 


The Trustee shall make the
selection from Securities of a Series outstanding and not previously called for redemption, and shall promptly notify the Company in writing
of the Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Security selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof
to be redeemed at least [   ] but not more than [   ] days before the Redemption Date. Securities
of a Series in denominations of $[   ] may be redeemed only in whole. The Trustee may select for redemption portions of
the principal of Securities of a Series that have denominations larger than $[   ]. Securities of a Series and portions of them
it selects shall be in amounts of $[   ] or, with respect to Securities of any Series issuable in other denominations pursuant
to Section 2.2(10), the minimum principal denomination for each Series and integral multiples thereof. Provisions of this Indenture
that apply to Securities called for redemption also apply to portions of Securities called for redemption.


 


	3.3.	NOTICE OF REDEMPTION.


 


Unless otherwise indicated
for a particular Series by Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officers’ Certificate, at least [  
] days, and no more than [   ] days, before a Redemption Date, the Company shall mail, or cause to be mailed,
a notice of redemption by first-class mail to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed at his or her last address as the same appears
on the registry books maintained by the Registrar. The notice shall identify the Securities to be redeemed and shall state:


 


(1) the Redemption Date;


 


(2) the redemption price,
and that such redemption price shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date;


 






    13 


     


    

 


(3) if any Security of a
Series is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Security of a Series to be redeemed and that, after the
Redemption Date and upon surrender of such Security of a Series, a new Security or Securities in principal amount equal to the unredeemed
portion will be issued;


 


(4) the name and address
of the Paying Agent;


 


(5) that Securities of a
Series called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price, and the place or places where each
such Security is to be surrendered for such payment;


 


(6) that, unless the Company
defaults in making the redemption payment, interest on the Securities of a Series called for redemption ceases to accrue on the Redemption
Date, and the only remaining right of the Holders of such Securities is to receive payment of the redemption price upon surrender to the
Paying Agent of the Securities redeemed;


 


(7) if fewer than all of
the Securities of a Series are to be redeemed, the identification of the particular Securities of a Series (or portion thereof) to be
redeemed, as well as the aggregate principal amount of Securities of a Series to be redeemed and the aggregate principal amount of Securities
of a Series to be outstanding after such partial redemption.


 


(8) the CUSIP number, if
any, printed on the Securities being redeemed; and


 


(9) that no representation
is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Securities.


 


At the Company’s request,
the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at the Company’s sole expense.


 


	3.4.	EFFECT OF NOTICE OF REDEMPTION.


 


Once the notice of redemption
described in Section 3.3 is mailed, Securities of a Series called for redemption become due and payable on the Redemption Date and
at the redemption price, plus interest, if any, accrued to the Redemption Date. Upon surrender to the Trustee or Paying Agent, such Securities
of a Series shall be paid at the redemption price, plus accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date; PROVIDED, that if the Redemption
Date is after a regular interest payment record date and on or prior to the next Interest Payment Date, the accrued interest shall be
payable to the Holder of the redeemed Securities registered on the relevant record date, as specified by the Company in the notice to
the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.1.


 


	3.5.	DEPOSIT OF REDEMPTION PRICE.


 


On or prior to the Redemption
Date (but no later than 11:00 A.M. Eastern Time on such date), the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay
the redemption price of and accrued interest, if any, on all Securities to be redeemed on that date other than Securities or portions
thereof called for redemption on that date which have been delivered by the Company to the Trustee for cancellation.


 


On and after any Redemption
Date, if money sufficient to pay the redemption price of, and accrued interest on, Securities called for redemption shall have been made
available in accordance with the preceding paragraph and the Company and the Paying Agent are not prohibited from paying such moneys to
Holders, the Securities called for redemption will cease to accrue interest and the only right of the Holders of such Securities will
be to receive payment of the redemption price of and, subject to the proviso in Section 3.4, accrued and unpaid interest on such
Securities to the Redemption Date. If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid, interest will be paid, from the Redemption

ARTICLE 6


 


DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES


 


	6.1.	EVENTS OF DEFAULT.


 


“Events of Default,”
wherever used herein with respect to Securities of any Series, means any one of the following events, unless in the establishing Board
Resolution, supplemental indenture or Officers’ Certificate, it is provided that such Series shall not have the benefit of said
Event of Default:


 


(1) there is a default in
the payment of any principal of, or premium, if any, on, the Securities when the same becomes due and payable at Maturity, upon acceleration,
redemption or otherwise;


 


(2) there is a default in
the payment of any interest on any Security of a Series when the same becomes due and payable, and the Default continues for a period
of [   ] days;


 


(3) the Company defaults
in the observance or performance of any other covenant in the Securities of a Series or in this Indenture for [   ] days
after written notice from the Trustee or the Holders of not less than [   ]% in the aggregate principal amount of the Securities
of such Series then outstanding, which notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that the notice is a “Notice
of Default”;


 


(4) the Company or any 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,


 


(D) makes a general
assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or


 


(E) generally is
not paying its debts as they become due;


 


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


 


(A) is for relief
against the Company or any Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case;


 


(B) appoints a
Custodian of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary, or for all or substantially all of the property of the Company or any Significant
Subsidiary; or


 


(C) orders the
liquidation of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary, and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for [  
] consecutive days; or


 


(6) any other Event of Default provided
with respect to Securities of that Series, which is specified in a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officers’
Certificate, in accordance with Section 2.2(19).


 


The term “Bankruptcy
Law” means Title 11, U.S. Code, or any similar federal or state law for the relief of debtors. The term “Custodian”
means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law.


 


The Trustee may withhold notice
of any Default (except in the payment of the principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on, the Securities) to the Holders of the Securities
of any Series in accordance with Section 7.5. When a Default is cured, it ceases to exist.


 






    17 


     


    

 


	6.2.	ACCELERATION.


 


If an Event of Default with
respect to Securities of any Series at the time outstanding (other than an Event of Default arising under Section 6.1(4) or (5)) occurs
and is continuing, the Trustee by written notice to the Company, or the Holders of not less than [   ]% in aggregate principal
amount of the Securities of that Series then outstanding by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare that the entire
principal amount of all the Securities of that Series then outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of acceleration are
immediately due and payable, in which case such amounts shall become immediately due and payable; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that after such acceleration
but before a judgment or decree based on such acceleration is obtained by the Trustee, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the outstanding Securities of that Series may rescind and annul such acceleration and its consequences if (i) all existing
Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of accelerated principal, interest or premium, if any, that has become due solely because
of the acceleration, have been cured or waived, (ii) 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 (iii) the
rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right
consequent thereto. In case an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(4) or (5) with respect to the Company occurs, such
principal, premium, if any, and interest amount with respect to all of the Securities of that Series shall be due and payable immediately
without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or the Holders of the Securities of that Series.


 


	6.3.	REMEDIES.


 


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


 


The Trustee may maintain a
proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Securities of that Series 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 to the extent permitted by law.


 


	6.4.	WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS AND EVENTS OF DEFAULT.


 


Subject to Sections 6.2, 6.7
and 8.2, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of any Series then outstanding have the right to waive any existing
Default or Event of Default with respect to such Series or compliance with any provision of this Indenture (with respect to such Series)
or the Securities of such Series. Upon any such waiver, such Default with respect to such Series shall cease to exist, and any Event of
Default with respect to such Series arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such
waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto. This Section 6.4
shall be in lieu of TIA Section 316(a)(1)(B), and TIA Section 316(a)(1)(B) is hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture
and Section as permitted by the TIA.


 


	6.5.	CONTROL BY MAJORITY.


 


Subject to Sections 6.2, 6.7
and 8.2, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of any Series then outstanding 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 the Trustee by
this Indenture with respect to such Series. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture,
or that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of another Securityholder, or that may involve the Trustee in personal
liability; PROVIDED, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction.
This Section 6.5 shall be in lieu of TIA Section 316(a)(1)(A), and TIA Section 316(a)(1)(A) is hereby expressly excluded
from this Indenture and Section as permitted by the TIA.


 






    18 


     


    

  


	6.6.	LIMITATION ON SUITS.


 


Subject to Section 6.7,
a Securityholder may not institute any proceeding or pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Securities of a Series unless:


 


(1) the Holder gives to the
Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of that Series;


 


(2) the Holders of at least
[   ]% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such Series then outstanding make a written request to the Trustee
to pursue the remedy;


 


(3) such Holder or Holders
offer to the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense to be incurred in compliance
with such request;


 


(4) the Trustee does not
comply with the request within [   ] days after receipt of the request and the offer of indemnity; and


 


(5) no direction inconsistent
with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such [   ]-day period by the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Securities of such Series then outstanding.


 


A Securityholder may not use
this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Securityholder, or to obtain a preference or priority over another Securityholder.


 


	6.7.	RIGHTS OF HOLDERS TO RECEIVE PAYMENT.


 


Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Security of a Series to receive payment of the principal of, and interest and
premium, if any, on, the Security of such Series on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Security of such Series, 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.


 


	6.8.	COLLECTION SUIT BY TRUSTEE.


 


If an Event of Default in
payment of principal, interest or premium, if any, specified in Section 6.1(1) or (2) with respect to Securities of any Series
at the time outstanding occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust
against the Company (or any other obligor on the Securities of that Series) for the whole amount of unpaid principal and premium, if any,
and accrued interest remaining unpaid, together with interest on overdue principal and premium, if any, and, to the extent that payment
of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest, in each case at the rate then borne by the Securities of that
Series, and such further amounts 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, as set forth in Section 7.7.


 


	6.9.	TRUSTEE MAY FILE PROOFS OF CLAIM.


 


The Trustee may file such
proofs of claim and other papers or documents, and take other actions (including sitting on a committee of creditors), 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 any other obligor on the Securities), any of their respective creditors or any of their respective property, and the Trustee shall
be entitled and empowered to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute
the same after deduction of its charges and expenses to the extent that any such charges and expenses are not paid out of the estate in
any such proceedings, and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Securityholder 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 Securityholders, to pay
to the Trustee any amount due to 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 7.7.


 


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


 






    19 


     


    

 


	6.10.	PRIORITIES.


 


If the Trustee collects any
money pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money in the following order:


 


FIRST: to the Trustee for amounts due
under Section 7.7;


 


SECOND: to Securityholders for amounts
then due and unpaid for the principal of, and interest and premium, if any, on, the Securities in respect of which, or for the benefit

paid.


 


	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, against any party litigant in the suit, having
due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to
a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.7 or a suit by Holders of more than [   ]% in principal

	7.3.	INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE.


 


The Trustee in its individual
or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities, and may make loans to, accept deposits from, perform services for

	7.4.	TRUSTEE’S DISCLAIMER.

If a Default or an Event of
Default occurs and is continuing with respect to the Securities of any Series, and if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail
to each Securityholder of the Securities of that Series notice of the Default or the Event of Default, as the case may be, within [  
] days after it occurs or, if later, after a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has knowledge of such Default or Event of Default
(except if such Default or Event of Default has been validly cured or waived before the giving of such notice). Except in the case of
a Default or an Event of Default in payment of the principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on, any Security of any Series, the Trustee

Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its services. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any provision
of law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee within [   ] days

under this Indenture, including the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel.


 


The Company shall indemnify
the Trustee for, and hold it harmless against, any and all loss or liability incurred by it in connection with the acceptance or performance

with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim
asserted against the Trustee for which it may seek indemnity.


 


The failure by the Trustee
to so notify the Company shall not however relieve the Company of its obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company need not
reimburse the Trustee for any expense or indemnify it against any loss or liability incurred by the Trustee through its negligence or
bad faith. To secure the payment obligations of the Company in this Section 7.7, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities
of any Series on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee except such money or property held in trust to pay the principal
of, interest and premium, if any, on particular Securities of that Series.


 


When the Trustee incurs expenses
or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(4) or (5) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for
the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.


 


For purposes of this Section 7.7,
the term “Trustee” shall include any trustee appointed pursuant to this Article 7.

The Trustee may resign with

of such resignation.


 


The Holders of a majority
in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any Series may remove the Trustee with respect to that Series by notifying the removed

ARTICLE 8


 


AMENDMENTS, SUPPLEMENTS AND WAIVERS


 


	8.1.	WITHOUT CONSENT OF HOLDERS.


 


The Company, when authorized
by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Securities of one or more Series without notice to
or consent of any Securityholder:


 


(1) to comply with Section 5.1;


 


(2) to provide for certificated
Securities in addition to uncertificated Securities;


 


(3) to comply with any requirements
of the SEC under the TIA;


 


(4) to cure any ambiguity,
defect or inconsistency, or to make any other change herein or in the Securities that does not materially and adversely affect the rights
of any Securityholder;


 


(5) to provide for the issuance
of, and establish the form and terms and conditions of, Securities of any Series as permitted by this Indenture; or


 


(6) to evidence and provide
for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more Series, and to add to
or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts
hereunder by more than one Trustee.


 


The Trustee is hereby authorized
to join with the Company in the execution of any supplemental indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture, and to
make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations which may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter
into any such supplemental indenture which adversely affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture.


 


	8.2.	WITH CONSENT OF HOLDERS.


 


(a) The Company, when authorized
by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Securities of one or more Series with the written
consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such Series affected
by such amendment or supplement without notice to any Securityholder. The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the outstanding Securities of each such Series affected by such amendment or supplement may waive compliance by the Company in a particular
instance with any provision of this Indenture or the Securities of such Series without notice to any Securityholder. Subject to Section 8.4,
without the consent of each Securityholder affected, however, an amendment, supplement or waiver may not:


 


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


 


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


 


(3) reduce the principal,
or change the Stated Maturity, of any Security, or reduce the amount of, or postpone the date fixed for, the payment of any sinking fund
or analogous obligation;


 


(4) make any Security payable
in money other than that stated in the Security;


 


(5) change the amount or
time of any payment required by the Securities, or reduce the premium payable upon any redemption of the Securities, or change the time
before which no such redemption may be made;


 


(6) waive a Default or Event
of Default in the payment of the principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on, any Security (except a rescission of acceleration of
the Securities of any Series by the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such Series and
a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);


 






    25 


     


    

  


(7) waive a redemption payment
with respect to any Security, or change any of the provisions with respect to the redemption of any Securities;


 


(8) make any changes in Section 6.6
or this Section 8.2, except to increase any percentage of Securities the Holders of which must consent to any matter; or


 


(9) take any other action
otherwise prohibited by this Indenture to be taken without the consent of each Holder affected thereby.


 


(b) Upon the request of the
Company, accompanied by a Board Resolution authorizing the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and upon the receipt by the Trustee
of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Securityholders as aforesaid and of the documents described in
Section 8.6, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of such supplemental indenture, unless such supplemental indenture
affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but
shall not be obligated to, enter into such supplemental indenture.


 


(c) It shall not be necessary
for the consent of the Holders under this section to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but
it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.


 


After an amendment or supplement
under this Section becomes effective, the Company shall mail to Securityholders a notice briefly describing the amendment or supplement.
Any failure of the Company to mail any such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity
of any supplemental indenture.


 


	8.3.	COMPLIANCE WITH TRUST INDENTURE ACT.


 


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


 


	8.4.	REVOCATION AND EFFECT OF CONSENTS.


 


Until an amendment, supplement,
waiver or other action becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Security is a continuing consent conclusive and binding upon
such Holder and every subsequent Holder of the same Security or portion thereof, and of any Security issued upon the transfer thereof
or in exchange therefor or in place thereof, even if notation of the consent is not made on any such Security. Any such Holder or subsequent
Holder, however, may revoke the consent as to his Security or portion of a Security, if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation
before the date the amendment, supplement, waiver or other action becomes effective.


 


The Company may, but shall
not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or
waiver, which record date shall be at least [ ] days prior to the first solicitation of such consent. If a record date is fixed, then,
notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only
such Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such amendment, supplement or waiver, or to revoke any consent previously given, whether
or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date.


 


After an amendment, supplement,
waiver or other action becomes effective, it shall bind every Securityholder, unless it makes a change described in any of clauses (1) through
(9) of Section 8.2. In that case, the amendment, supplement, waiver or other action 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; PROVIDED, that any such waiver shall not impair or affect the right of any Holder to receive payment of the principal
of, and interest and premium, if any, 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.


 






    26 


     


    

  


	8.5.	NOTATION ON OR EXCHANGE OF SECURITIES.


 


If an amendment, supplement
or waiver changes the terms of a Security of any Series, the Trustee may request the Holder of such Security to deliver it to the Trustee.
In such case, the Trustee shall place an appropriate notation on such Security about the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively,
the Company, in exchange for such Security, may issue, and the Trustee shall authenticate, a new security that reflects the changed terms.
Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Security shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement
or waiver.


 


	8.6.	TRUSTEE TO SIGN AMENDMENTS, ETC.


 


The Trustee shall sign any
amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article 8 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, supplement or waiver the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and, subject to Section 7.1, shall be fully
protected in relying upon an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment, supplement or waiver is
authorized or permitted by this Indenture. The Company may not sign an amendment or supplement until the Board of Directors of the Company
approves it.

the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall, subject to Section 9.6, execute proper instruments acknowledging the same, as
are delivered to it by the Company), except for the following, which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:
(A) the rights of Holders of outstanding Securities of such Series to receive solely from the trust funds described in Section 9.4

which banking institutions are not authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to be open in the State of New York.


 


If a payment date is a Legal
Holiday at a Place of Payment, payment may be made at that place on the next succeeding day that is not a Legal Holiday, and no interest
shall accrue for the intervening period. “Place of Payment” means the place or places where the principal of, and interest
and premium, if any, on, the Securities of a Series are payable as specified as contemplated by Section 2.2. If the regular record
date is a Legal Holiday, the record date shall not be affected.


 


	10.8.	GOVERNING LAW.


 


THIS INDENTURE AND THE
SECURITIES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AS APPLIED TO CONTRACTS MADE AND PERFORMED
WITHIN THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW.


 


	 10.9.	NO ADVERSE INTERPRETATION OF OTHER AGREEMENTS.


 


This Indenture may not be
used to interpret another indenture, loan, security or debt agreement of the Company or any Subsidiary thereof. No such indenture, loan,
security or debt agreement may be used to interpret this Indenture.

	10.10.	NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS.


 


A director, officer, employee,
stockholder or incorporator, as such, of the Company shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Securities
or the Indenture. Each Securityholder by accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability. Such waiver and release are part
of the consideration for the issuance of the Securities.


 


	10.11.	SUCCESSORS.


 


All covenants and agreements
of the Company in this Indenture and the Securities shall bind the Company’s successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.
All agreements of the Trustee, any additional trustee and any Paying Agents in this Indenture shall bind their respective successors and
assigns.


 


	10.12.	MULTIPLE COUNTERPARTS.


 


The parties may sign multiple
counterparts of this Indenture. Each signed counterpart shall be deemed an original, but all of them together represent one and the same
agreement.


 


	10.13.	TABLE OF CONTENTS, HEADINGS, ETC.


 


The table of contents, cross-reference
sheet 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.


 


	10.14.	SEVERABILITY.


 


Each provision of this Indenture
shall be considered separable, and if for any reason any provision which is not essential to the effectuation of the basic purpose of
this Indenture or 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, and a Holder shall have no claim therefor against any party hereto.


 


	10.15.	SECURITIES IN A FOREIGN CURRENCY OR IN EUROS.


 


Unless otherwise specified
in a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officers’ Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.2 with respect
to a particular Series of Securities, whenever for purposes of this Indenture any action may be taken by the Holders of a specified percentage
in aggregate principal amount of Securities of all Series or all Series affected by a particular action at the time outstanding and, at
such time, there are outstanding Securities of any Series which are denominated in a coin or currency other than Dollars (including Euros),
then the principal amount of Securities of such Series which shall be deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of taking such action shall
be that amount of Dollars that could be obtained for such amount at the Market Exchange Rate at such time. For purposes of this Section 10.15,
“Market Exchange Rate” shall mean the noon Dollar buying rate in New York City for cable transfers of that currency as published
by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, in the case of Euros, Market Exchange Rate shall mean the rate of exchange
determined by the Commission of the European Union (or any successor thereto) as published in the Official Journal of the European Union
(such publication or any successor publication, the “Journal”). If such Market Exchange Rate is not available for any reason
with respect to such currency, the Trustee shall use, in its sole discretion and without liability on its part, such quotation of the
Federal Reserve Bank of New York or, in the case of Euros, the rate of exchange as published in the Journal, as of the most recent available
date, or quotations or, in the case of Euros, rates of exchange from one or more major banks in New York City or in the country of issue
of the currency in question or, in the case of Euros, in Luxembourg or such other quotations or, in the case of Euros, rates of exchange
as the Trustee, upon consultation with the Company, shall deem appropriate. The provisions of this paragraph shall apply in determining
the equivalent principal amount in respect of Securities of a Series denominated in currency other than Dollars in connection with any
action taken by Holders of Securities pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.


 






    33 


     


    

  


All decisions and determinations
of the Trustee regarding the Market Exchange Rate or any alternative determination provided for in the preceding paragraph shall be in
the Trustee’s sole discretion, and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive to the extent permitted by law for all
purposes and irrevocably binding upon the Company and all Holders.


 


	10.16.	JUDGMENT CURRENCY.


 


The Company 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 the principal of, or interest or premium, if any, 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 Trustee 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 Business Day, in which instance, the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which, in accordance with normal banking
procedures, the Trustee could purchase in The City of New York the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on the Business 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.


 


IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties
hereto have caused this Indenture to be duly executed, and their respective corporate seals to be hereunto affixed and attested, all as
of the day and year first above written.
