Trustee hereunder shall have been consented to in writing by the Trustee). 
 All Notes of any one series shall be substantially identical
except as to denomination and except as may otherwise be provided in or pursuant to the Board Resolution referred to above and (subject to Section 2.02) set forth, or determined in the manner provided, in the Officers’ Certificate referred
to above or in any such indenture supplemental hereto. All Notes of any one series need not be issued at one time and, unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to the Board Resolution referred to above and (subject to Section 2.02) set forth,
or determined in the manner provided, in the Officers’ Certificate referred to above or in any such indenture supplemental hereto with respect to a series of Notes, Additional Notes may be issued, at the option of the Company, without the
consent of any Holder, at any time and from time to time. 
 If any of the terms of the series are established by action taken pursuant to a
Board Resolution, a copy of an appropriate record of such action shall be certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company and delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Officers’ Certificate setting forth
the terms of the series. If all of the Notes of any series established by action taken pursuant to a Board Resolution are not to be issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver a record of such action at the time of issuance of each Note
of such series, but an appropriate record of such action shall be delivered at or before the time of issuance of the first Note of such series. 

Section 2.02 Form and Dating; Execution and Authentication. 

(a) General. The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, or in
such other form as shall be established by or pursuant to a Board Resolution or in one or more indentures supplemental hereto, in each case with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted
by this Indenture, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as may be required to comply with the rules of any securities exchange or Depositary therefor or as may,
consistently herewith, be determined by the officers executing such Notes, as evidenced by their execution thereof. If the form of Notes of any series is established by action taken pursuant to a Board Resolution, a copy of an appropriate record of
such action shall be certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company and delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Authentication Order contemplated by Section 2.02(d) for the authentication and delivery of
such Notes. If all of the Notes of any series established by action taken pursuant to a Board Resolution are not to be issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver a record of such action at the time of issuance of each Note of such
series, but an appropriate record of such action shall be delivered at or before the time of issuance of the first Note of such series. 

  
 12 








 The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or
usage. Each Note will be dated the date of its authentication. Except as otherwise established in accordance with Section 2.01(j), the Notes shall be in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof. 

The terms and provisions contained in the Notes will constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and the Company and
the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. However, to the extent any provision of any Note conflicts with the express provisions of this Indenture, the
provisions of this Indenture shall govern and be controlling. 
 (b) Global Notes. Subject to Section 2.02(a), Global Notes will
be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (including the Global Note Legend thereon and the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). Subject to Section 2.02(a), Definitive Notes will be
substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (but without the Global Note Legend thereon and without the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). Each Global Note will represent such of the outstanding
Notes as will be specified therein and each shall provide that it represents the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may
from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented
thereby will be made by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.06 hereof. 

(c) Execution. At least one Officer must sign the Notes for the Company by manual or facsimile signature. 

If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time a Note is authenticated, the Note will nevertheless be
valid. 
 A Note will not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee. The signature will be conclusive evidence
that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture. 
 (d) Authentication. The Trustee will, upon receipt of a written order of
the Company signed by two Officers (an “Authentication Order”), authenticate Notes for original issuance in an aggregate principal amount specified in the written order of the Company pursuant to this Section 2.02. Such
Authentication Order shall specify the amount of Notes to be authenticated and the date on which the original issue of Notes is to be authenticated. The aggregate principal amount of Notes, including any Additional Notes, of a series outstanding at
any time may not exceed the aggregate principal amount of Notes of such series authorized for issuance by the Company, pursuant to one or more Authentication Orders, except as provided in Section 2.07 hereof. 

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Notes. An authenticating agent may authenticate
Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. 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 Holders or an Affiliate of the
Company. 

  
 13 








 Section 2.03 Registrar and Paying Agent. 

The Company will maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange
(“Registrar”) and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Registrar will keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may appoint one or
more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar
without notice to any Holder. The Company will notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Company fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee
shall act as such. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. 
 The Company initially
appoints The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes. 
 The Company
initially appoints the Trustee to act as the Registrar and Paying Agent and to act as Custodian with respect to the Global Notes. 
 Section 2.04
Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. 
 The Company will require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the
Paying Agent will hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal, premium or interest or Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes, and will notify the Trustee of any default
by the Company in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the
Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company) will have no further liability for the money. If the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company acts as Paying Agent, it will
segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Company, the Trustee will serve as Paying Agent for the Notes. 

Section 2.05 Holder Lists. 
 The
Trustee will preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders of each series of Notes and shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a). If the Trustee is not
the Registrar, the Company will furnish to the Trustee at least seven Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may
reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders of each series of Notes and the Company shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a).

 Section 2.06 Transfer and Exchange. 

(a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. A Global Note may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the
Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or 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. All Global Notes of a series will be
exchanged by the Company for Definitive Notes of such series if: 
 (1) the Company delivers to the Trustee notice from the
Depositary that it is unwilling or unable to continue to act as Depositary or that it is no longer a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 120 days after
the date of such notice from the Depositary; 
 (2) the Company in its sole discretion determines that the Global Notes (in
whole but not in part) of such series should be exchanged for Definitive Notes of such series and delivers a written notice to such effect to the Trustee; or 

(3) there has occurred and is continuing a Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes of such series. 

Upon the occurrence of either of the events in (1) or (2) above, Definitive Notes of such series shall be issued in such names as
the Depositary shall instruct the Trustee. Global Notes also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Sections 2.07 and 2.10 hereof. Other than as provided in this Section 2.06(a), every Note authenticated and delivered
in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Note or any portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 2.06 or Section 2.07 or 2.10 hereof, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Note; provided, that beneficial
interests in a Global Note may be transferred and exchanged as provided in Section 2.06(b) or (c) hereof. 
 (b) Transfer and
Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the Global Notes. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the Applicable
Procedures. Transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Notes also will require compliance with either subparagraph (1) or (2) below, as applicable, as well as one or more of the other following subparagraphs, as applicable: 

(1) Transfer of Beneficial Interests in the Same Global Note. Beneficial interests in any Global Note may be
transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the same Global Note. No written orders or instructions shall be required to be delivered to the Registrar to effect the transfers described in this Section
2.06(b)(1). 
 (2) All Other Transfers and Exchanges of Beneficial Interests in Global Notes. In
connection with all transfers and exchanges of beneficial interests that are not subject to Section 2.06(b)(1) above, the transferor of such beneficial interest must deliver to the Registrar either: 

  
 15 








 (A) both: 

(i) a written order from a Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable
Procedures directing the Depositary to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in another Global Note of such series in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged; and 

(ii) instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the Participant account
to be credited with such increase; or 
 (B) both: 

(i) a written order from a Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable
Procedures directing the Depositary to cause to be issued a Definitive Note of such series in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged; and 

(ii) instructions given by the Depositary to the Registrar containing information regarding the Person in whose name such
Definitive Note of such series shall be registered to effect the transfer or exchange referred to in Section 2.06(b)(2)(B)(i) above. 
 Upon
satisfaction of all of the requirements for transfer or exchange of beneficial interests in Global Notes contained in this Indenture and the Notes or otherwise applicable under the Securities Act, the Trustee shall adjust the principal amount of the
relevant Global Note(s) pursuant to Section 2.06(g) hereof. 
 (c) Transfer or Exchange of Beneficial Interests in Global Notes for
Definitive Notes. If any holder of a beneficial interest in an Global Note of a series proposes to exchange such beneficial interest for a Definitive Note of such series or to transfer such beneficial interest to a Person who takes delivery
thereof in the form of a Definitive Note of such series, then, upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.06(b)(2) hereof, the Trustee shall cause the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Global Note of such series to be
reduced accordingly pursuant to Section 2.06(g) hereof, and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Person designated in the instructions a Definitive Note of such series in the appropriate principal
amount. Any Definitive Note issued in exchange for a beneficial interest pursuant to this Section 2.06(c) shall be registered in such name or names and in such authorized denomination or denominations as the holder of such beneficial interest
requests through instructions to the Registrar from or through the Depositary and the Participant or Indirect Participant. The Trustee shall deliver such Definitive Notes to the Persons in whose names such Notes are so registered. 

  
 16 








 (d) Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Notes for Beneficial Interests in Global Notes. A
Holder of a Definitive Note of a series may exchange such Note for a beneficial interest in a Global Note of such series or transfer such Definitive Notes to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Global Note
of such series at any time. Upon receipt of a request for such an exchange or transfer, the Trustee will cancel the applicable Definitive Note and increase or cause to be increased the aggregate principal amount of one of the Global Notes of such
series pursuant to Section 2.06(g) hereof. 
 (e) Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Notes for Definitive Notes. Upon request by
a Holder of Definitive Notes and such Holder’s compliance with the provisions of this Section 2.06(e), the Registrar will register the transfer or exchange of Definitive Notes. Prior to such registration of transfer or exchange, the
requesting Holder must present or surrender to the Registrar the Definitive Notes of such series duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instruction of transfer in form satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by such Holder or by its attorney,
duly authorized in writing. A Holder of Definitive Notes of a series may transfer such Notes to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a Definitive Note of such series. Upon receipt of a request to register such a transfer, the Registrar
shall register the Definitive Notes of such series pursuant to the instructions from the Holder thereof, and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Person designated in the instructions a Definitive Note of
such series in the appropriate principal amount. 
 (f) Global Note Legend. Each Global Note issued under this Indenture, unless
specifically stated otherwise in the applicable provisions of this Indenture, will bear a legend in substantially the following form: 

“THIS GLOBAL NOTE IS HELD BY THE DEPOSITARY (AS DEFINED IN THE INDENTURE GOVERNING THIS NOTE) OR ITS NOMINEE IN CUSTODY FOR THE BENEFIT
OF THE BENEFICIAL OWNERS HEREOF, AND IS NOT TRANSFERABLE TO ANY PERSON UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES EXCEPT THAT (1) THE TRUSTEE MAY MAKE SUCH NOTATIONS HEREON AS MAY BE REQUIRED PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.06 OF THE INDENTURE, (2) THIS GLOBAL NOTE

 UNLESS AND UNTIL IT IS EXCHANGED IN WHOLE OR IN PART
FOR NOTES IN DEFINITIVE FORM, THIS NOTE 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 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 GLOBAL NOTE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY (55 WATER STREET, NEW YORK, NEW YORK) (“DTC”) TO THE
COMPANY OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY GLOBAL 

  
 17 








 
NOTE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CEDE & CO. OR SUCH OTHER NAME AS MAY BE REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC (AND ANY PAYMENT IS MADE TO CEDE & CO. OR SUCH
OTHER ENTITY AS MAY BE 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.” 
 (g) Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Notes. At such time as all beneficial interests in a particular Global
Note of a series have been exchanged for Definitive Notes of such series or a particular Global Note has been redeemed, repurchased or canceled in whole and not in part, each such Global Note will be returned to or retained and canceled by the
Trustee in accordance with Section 2.11 hereof. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note of a series is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a
beneficial interest in another Global Note of such series or for Definitive Notes of such series, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note will be reduced accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Note by the
Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another
Global Note of such series, such other Global Note will be increased accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase. 

(h) General Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges. 

(1) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company will execute and the Trustee will authenticate Global Notes
and Definitive Notes upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof or at the Registrar’s request. 

(2) No service charge will be made to a Holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note or to a Holder of a Definitive Note
for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar
governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.10, 3.07 and 9.05 hereof or other provisions relating to any offer to purchase Notes required to be made by the Company contained in any Board Resolution, supplemental
indenture hereto or an Officers’ Certificate establishing or amending a series of Notes). 
 (3) The Registrar will not
be required to register the transfer of or exchange of any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. 

(4) All Global Notes and Definitive Notes of a series issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Notes or
Definitive Notes of such series will be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Global Notes or Definitive Notes of such series surrendered upon such registration
of transfer or exchange. 

  
 18 








 (5) Neither the Registrar nor the Company will be required: 

(A) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Notes of a series during a period beginning at the opening of
business 15 days before the day of any selection of Notes of such series for redemption under Section 3.03 hereof and ending at the close of business on the day of selection; 

(B) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed
portion of any Note being redeemed in part; or 
 (C) to register the transfer of or to exchange a Note of a series between a
record date and the next succeeding interest payment date of such series. 
 (6) Prior to due presentment for the
registration of a transfer of any Note, the Trustee, any Agent and the Company may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on
such Note and for all other purposes, and none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

(7) The Trustee will authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02
hereof. 
 (8) All certifications and certificates required to be submitted to the Registrar pursuant to this
Section 2.06 to effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted by facsimile. 
 Section 2.07 Replacement Notes. 

If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee, or each of the Company and the Trustee receives evidence to its respective satisfaction of
the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Company will issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate a replacement Note of the same series if the Trustee’s requirements are met. If required by the
Trustee or the Company, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may
suffer if a Note is replaced. The Company may charge a Holder for the Company’s expenses in replacing a Note. 
 Every replacement Note
of a series is an additional obligation of the Company and will be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes of such series duly issued hereunder. 

  
 19 








 Section 2.08 Outstanding Notes. 

The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for
cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09 hereof or in
any provision of the form of Note that so expressly states, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Note. 

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory
to it that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser. 
 If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under
Section 4.01 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue. 
 If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a
Subsidiary of the Company or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a redemption date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes will be deemed to be no longer outstanding and will
cease to accrue interest. 
 Section 2.09 Treasury Notes. 

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes of a series have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent,
Notes owned by the Company, or by any Affiliate of the Company, will be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee will be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only
Notes of such series that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned will be so disregarded. 
 Section 2.10 Temporary
Notes. 
 Until certificated Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication
Order, will authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes will be substantially in the form of certificated Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as may be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.
Without unreasonable delay, the Company will prepare and the Trustee will authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes. 

Holders of temporary Notes will be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture. 

Section 2.11 Cancellation. 
 The
Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent will forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else will
cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and will dispose of such canceled Notes (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act) in its customary manner. The Company
may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

 Section 2.12 Defaulted Interest. 

If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on a series of Notes, it will pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to
the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. The Company will notify the Trustee in
writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note of such series and the date of the proposed payment. The Company will fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date; provided that no such
special record date may be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Company (or, upon the written request of the Company, the Trustee in the name and at the
expense of the Company) will mail or cause to be mailed to Holders of such series of Notes a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid. 

Section 2.13 CUSIP Numbers. 
 The
Company in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may
state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes,
and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers. 

ARTICLE 3 
 REDEMPTION AND
PREPAYMENT 
 Section 3.01 Optional Redemption. 

Notes of any series that are redeemable before their maturity shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms set forth in any Board
Resolution, Officers’ Certificate or supplemental indenture that establishes or amends the terms of the Notes of any series and in accordance with this Article. 

Section 3.02 Notices to Trustee. 
 If
the Company elects to redeem Notes of any series pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of such Note, it must furnish to the Trustee, at least 40 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, an Officers’ Certificate setting
forth: 
 (1) the clause of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur; 

(2) the series of Notes to be redeemed; 

  
 21 








 (3) the redemption date; 

(4) the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed; 

(5) the redemption price; and 

(6) the applicable CUSIP numbers. 

Section 3.03 Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed or Purchased. 

If less than all of the Notes of any series are to be redeemed or purchased pursuant to this Indenture at any time, the Trustee will select the
Notes of such series to be redeemed or purchased among the holders of Notes of such series as follows: 
 (1) if such Notes
are listed, in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which such Notes are listed, or 

(2) if such Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis, by lot or in accordance with any other method the Trustee
considers fair and appropriate. 
 In the event of partial redemption or purchase by lot, the particular Notes of any series to be redeemed
or purchased will be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 35 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption or purchase date by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes of such series not previously called for redemption or
purchase. 
 The Trustee will promptly notify the Company in writing of the Notes selected for redemption or purchase and, in the case of
any Note selected for partial redemption or purchase, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed or purchased. Notes of a series and portions of such Notes selected will be in amounts of $1,000 or whole multiples of $1,000; except that if all of
the Notes of a series of a Holder are to be redeemed or purchased, the entire outstanding amount of Notes of such series held by such Holder, even if not a multiple of $1,000, shall be redeemed or purchased. Except as provided in the preceding
sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes of a series called for redemption or purchase also apply to portions of Notes of a series called for redemption or purchase. 

Section 3.04 Notice of Redemption. 

Unless otherwise indicated for a particular series by Board Resolution establishing the terms of any series of Notes as set forth, or
determined in the manner provided, in an Officers’ Certificate, or established in a supplemental indenture hereto, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed, by first class
mail, a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance
of the Notes pursuant to Article 8 hereof or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Article 11 hereof. 

  
 22 








 The notice will identify the Notes of the series to be redeemed and will state: 

(1) the redemption date; 

(2) the redemption price; 

(3) if any Note of such series is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Note to be redeemed and
that, after the redemption date upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes of such series in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion will be issued upon cancellation of the original Note; 

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

(5) that Notes of such series called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price;

 (6) that, unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment, interest and Additional Interest, if any, on
Notes of such series called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date, subject to the satisfaction of any condition to such redemption; 

(7) the paragraph of the Notes of such series and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Notes of such series
called for redemption are being redeemed; and 
 (8) 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 Notes of such series. 
 At the Company’s request, the Trustee will give
the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at its expense; provided, however, that the Company has delivered to the Trustee, at least 45 days prior to the redemption date (unless a shorter period is acceptable 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 3.05 Effect of Notice of Redemption. 

Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.04 hereof, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable
on the redemption date at the redemption price, subject to the satisfaction of any conditions to such redemption. A notice of redemption may be conditional in that the Company may, notwithstanding the giving of the notice of redemption, condition
the redemption of the Notes specified in the notice of redemption upon the completion of other transactions, such as refinancings or acquisitions (whether of the Company or by the Company). 

Section 3.06 Deposit of Redemption or Purchase Price. 

On or before 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the redemption or purchase date, the Company will deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying
Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption or purchase price of and accrued interest and Additional Interest, if any, on all Notes to be redeemed or purchased on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent will promptly return to the Company any
money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption or purchase price of, and accrued interest and Additional Interest, if any, on, all Notes to be redeemed or purchased. 

  
 23 








 If the Company complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the
redemption or purchase date, subject to the satisfaction of any conditions to such redemption, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase. If a Note is redeemed or purchased on or after an
interest record date but on or prior to the related interest payment date, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such record date. If any Note called for
redemption or purchase is not so paid upon surrender for redemption or purchase because of the failure of the Company to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption or purchase date until
such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. 

Section 3.07 Notes Redeemed or Purchased in Part. 

Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed or purchased in part, the Company will issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, the
Trustee will authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Company a new Note of the same series equal in principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered. 

Section 3.08 Mandatory Redemption. 

The Company is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. 

ARTICLE 4 
 COVENANTS 

Section 4.01 Payment of Notes. 
 The
Company will pay or cause to be paid the principal of, premium, if any, and interest and Additional Interest, if any, on, the Notes of a series on the dates and in the manner provided in accordance with the terms of such Notes and this Indenture.
Principal, premium, if any, and interest and Additional Interest, if any, will be considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent, if other than the Company or a Subsidiary thereof, holds as of 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the due date money
deposited by the Company in immediately available funds and designated for and sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and interest then due. 

The Company will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium,
if any, at the then applicable interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful; it will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest and Additional Interest (without
regard to any applicable grace period) at the same rate payable on overdue principal to the extent lawful.

 Section 4.02 Maintenance of Office or Agency. 

The Company will maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee or an
affiliate of the Trustee, Registrar or co-registrar) where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The
Company will 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 fails to maintain any such required office or agency or fails to furnish the Trustee with
the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee (or at the office of its affiliate, if so designated by the Trustee). 

The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes 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 will in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the
Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. 

The Company hereby designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, as one such office or agency of the Company in accordance with
Section 2.03 hereof. 
 Section 4.03 Reports. 

(a) Whether or not required by the rules and regulations of the SEC, so long as any series of Notes are outstanding, the Company will furnish
to the Trustee for mailing to the Holders of such series of Notes: 
 (1) all quarterly and annual financial information that
would be required to be contained in a filing or filings by the Company with the SEC on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if the Company were required to file such forms, including a “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations” and, with respect to the annual information only, a report thereon by the Company’s certified independent accountants, and 

(2) all current reports that would be required to be filed by the Company with the SEC on Form 8-K if the Company were required
to file such reports, in each case within 15 days of the applicable time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations. 
 In addition, whether
or not required by the rules and regulations of the SEC, the Company will file a copy of all such information and reports with the SEC for public availability (unless the SEC will not accept such a filing) and make such information available to
securities analysts and prospective investors upon request. The Company may deliver the consolidated reports or financial information of the Company to comply with the foregoing requirements. The Company will at all times comply with TIA §
314(a). 

  
 25 








 If, at any time, the Company is no longer subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the
Exchange Act for any reason, the Company will nevertheless continue filing the reports specified in the preceding paragraph with the SEC within the time periods specified above unless the SEC will not accept such a filing. The Company will not take
any action for the purpose of causing the SEC not to accept any such filings. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, the SEC will not accept the Company’s filings for any reason, the Company will post the reports referred to in the preceding
paragraph on its website within the time periods that would apply if the Company were required to file those reports with the SEC. 

Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such
shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to
rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates). 
 (b) For so long as any series of Notes remain outstanding, if at any time the Company is
not required to file with the SEC the reports required by paragraph (a) of this Section 4.03, the Company will furnish to the Holders of such series of Notes and to securities analysts and prospective investors, upon their request, the
information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act. 
 Section 4.04 Compliance Certificate. 

(a) So long as any Notes are outstanding, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year for each
outstanding series of Notes an Officers’ Certificate stating that a review of the activities of the Company and its Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing Officers with a view to
determining whether the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under this Indenture, and further stating, as to each such Officer signing such certificate, that to the best of his or her knowledge the Company has kept,
observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in this Indenture and is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (or, if a Default or Event of Default has
occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which he or she may have knowledge and what action or actions the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto) and that to the best of his or her knowledge no event has
occurred and is continuing by reason of which payments on account of the principal of or interest, if any, on the Notes is prohibited or if such event has occurred, a description of the event and what action or actions the Company is taking or
proposes to take with respect thereto. The first certificate to be delivered pursuant to this Section 4.04(a) shall be for the first fiscal year ending on December 31 of the calendar year in which Notes of such series are first issued
under this Indenture. 
 (b) So long as any of the Notes are outstanding, the Company will deliver to the Trustee, forthwith upon any Officer
becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, an Officers’ Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default and what action or actions the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

 Section 4.05 Stay, Extension and 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, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may
lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit
the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted. 
 Section 4.06 Legal Existence. 

Subject to Article 5 hereof, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect: 

(1) its corporate existence, and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each of its Subsidiaries, in accordance with
the respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of the Company or any such Subsidiary; and 

(2) the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company and its Subsidiaries; 

provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the corporate, partnership or other
existence of any of its Subsidiaries, if the Company shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and that the loss thereof is not adverse
in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes.

 Section 5.01 Merger,
Consolidation, or Sale of Assets. 
 The Company may not, in a single transaction or a series of related transactions, consolidate or
merge with or into any Person, or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any Person or adopt a Plan of Liquidation

Liquidation, the Person to which assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries have been transferred (i) shall be a corporation or other entity organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States or any State thereof or the District
of Columbia; provided, that if the successor is an entity other than a corporation, the Notes shall be co-issued or assumed on a co-issuer basis by a corporation organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States or any State thereof
or the District of Columbia and (ii) shall expressly assume, by supplemental indenture (in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee), executed and delivered to the Trustee, the due and punctual payment of the principal of, and premium, if

ARTICLE 6 
 DEFAULTS AND
REMEDIES 
 Section 6.01 Events of Default. 

Each of the following is an “Event of Default” with respect to Notes of any series: 

(1) the Company’s default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Notes
of such series; 
 (2) the Company’s default in payment of the principal of or premium, if any, on the Notes of such
series when due and payable, at maturity, upon acceleration, redemption or otherwise; 
 (3) failure by the Company to comply
with any of its other agreements in this Indenture (other than an agreement that has been included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of a series of Notes other than such series) or the Notes of such series for 60 days after written notice to
the Company by the Trustee or by Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of such series then outstanding voting as a single class; 

(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 for money borrowed by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company) whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists, or is created
after the date such series of Notes was first issued; 
 (A) is caused by a failure to pay principal of or premium, if any,
or interest, if any, on such Indebtedness prior to the expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness on the date of such default (a “Payment Default”), or 

  
 29 








 (B) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express
maturity 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
$10 million or more; 
 (5) failure by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company to pay final judgments aggregating in
excess of $10 million, net of any amounts reasonably expected to be covered by insurance, which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed for a period of 60 days after such judgment or judgments become final and non-appealable; 

(6) the Company pursuant to or within the meaning of 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; and 

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

(A) is for relief against the Company in an involuntary case; 

(B) appoints a custodian of the Company or for all or substantially all of its property; or 

(C) orders the liquidation of the Company; 

and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days. 

Section 6.02 Acceleration. 
 If an
Event of Default with respect to the Notes of any series (other than an Event of Default with respect to clauses (6) and (7) of Section 6.01 hereof occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case, the Trustee or the Holders of
not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of such series may declare the principal amount, together with any accrued and unpaid interest and premium and Additional Interest, if any, on all the Notes of such series
then outstanding to be due and payable, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee, if given by Holders) specifying the Event of Default and that it is a “notice of acceleration” and upon delivery of such notice the
principal amount, in either case, together with any accrued and unpaid interest and premium and Additional Interest, if any, on all the Notes of such series then outstanding will become immediately due and payable, notwithstanding anything contained
in this Indenture or the Notes to the contrary. Upon the 

  
 30 








 
occurrence of any Event of Default specified in clause (6) or (7) of Section 6.01 hereof, the principal amount, together with any accrued and unpaid interest and premium and
Additional Interest, if any, will immediately and automatically become due and payable, without the necessity of notice or any other action by any Person. Holders of the Notes of such series may not enforce this Indenture or the Notes except as
provided in this Indenture. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the sole remedy for an Event of Default relating to
the failure to comply with the reporting obligations described under Section 4.03, and for any failure to comply with the requirements of Section 314(a) of the TIA, will for the 365 days after the occurrence of such an Event of Default
consist exclusively of the right to receive Additional Interest on the principal amount of the Notes of such series at a rate equal to 0.25% per annum. This Additional Interest will be payable in the same manner and subject to the same terms as
other interest payable under this Indenture. The Additional Interest will accrue on all outstanding Notes of such series from and including the date on which an Event of Default relating to a failure to comply with the reporting obligations
described under Section 4.03 or Section 314(a) of the TIA first occurs to but not excluding the 365th day thereafter (or such earlier date on which the Event of Default relating to the reporting obligations described under
Section 4.03 or Section 314(a) of the TIA shall have been cured or waived). On such 365th day (or earlier, if the Event of Default relating to such reporting obligations is cured or waived prior to such 365th day), such Additional Interest
will cease to accrue and the Notes of such series will be subject to the other remedies as provided under this Section 6.02 if the Event of Default is continuing. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this paragraph will not affect the
rights of Holders of Notes of such series in the event of the occurrence of any other Event of Default. 
 The Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of such series by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of all of the Holders of the Notes of such series, rescind an acceleration and its consequences, if the rescission would not
conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default (except nonpayment of principal, interest or premium or Additional Interest, if any, that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived. 

Section 6.03 Other Remedies. 
 If an
Event of Default with respect to the Notes of a series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal, premium and Additional Interest, if any, and interest on the Notes of such series or to
enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes of such series or this Indenture. 
 The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it
does not possess any of the Notes of such series or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Note of such series 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. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law. 

  
 31 








 Section 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults. 

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of any series then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of
the Holders of all of the Notes of such series waive any existing Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes of such series and its consequences under this Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of
principal of, premium or Additional Interest, if any, or interest, on the Notes of such series (including in connection with an offer to purchase) (provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes of such series may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted solely from such acceleration). The waiver by the holders of any Indebtedness described in clause (4) of
Section 6.01 of the predicating default under such Indebtedness shall be deemed a waiver of such Default or Event of Default arising under, and a rescission of any acceleration resulting from the application of clause (4), from the effective
date, during the effective period and to the extent of, the waiver by the holders of such other Indebtedness. Upon any waiver granted or deemed granted in accordance with the terms hereof, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default
arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured and waived for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

Section 6.05 Control by Majority. 

Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of any series may direct the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it with respect to the Notes of such series. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law
or this Indenture, that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of such series of Notes, or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability. 

Section 6.06 Limitation on Suits. 
 A
Holder of any series of Notes may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes only if: 
 (1) such Holder
gives to the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is continuing; 
 (2) Holders of at least 25% in aggregate
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of such series make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy; 

(3) such Holder or Holders offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably 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 security or indemnity; and 

  
 32 








 (5) during such 60-day period, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes of such series do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request. 
 A Holder of any
series of Notes may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of such series of Notes or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of Notes of such series. 

Section 6.07 Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment. 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal, premium and
Additional Interest, if any, and interest on such Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note (including in connection with an offer to purchase), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such
respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder. 
 Section 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee. 

If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(1) or (2) hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover
judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount of principal of, premium and Additional Interest, if any, and interest remaining unpaid on, the Notes of all series as to which such Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. 
 Section 6.09 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 

The Trustee for each series of Notes is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable
in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative
to the Company, its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby
authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due 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 7.07 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out
of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein
contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to
authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. 

  
 33 








 Section 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, its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.07 hereof, including payment of all compensation, expenses
and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection; 
 Second: to Holders of Notes in
respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium and Additional Interest, if any, and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according
to the amounts due and payable on the applicable Notes for principal, premium and Additional Interest, if any and interest, respectively; and 

Third: to the Company or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct. 

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders of Notes 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 a 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 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 of a
Note pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of any series. 

Section 6.12 Remedies Subject to Applicable Law. 

All rights, remedies and powers provided by this Article 6 may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any
applicable provision of law, and all the provisions of this Indenture are intended to be subject to all applicable laws and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render this Indenture invalid, unenforceable or not entitled to
be recorded, registered or filed under the provisions of any applicable law.

 ARTICLE 7 

TRUSTEE 
 Section 7.01 Duties of
Trustee. 
 (a) If an Event of Default with respect to Notes of any series has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee will, with respect
to such Notes, exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s
own affairs. 
 (b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default with respect to Notes of any series: 

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

(2) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, in the case of certificates or opinions specifically required by any provision
hereof to be furnished to it, the Trustee will 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 stated therein). 
 (c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to
act, or its own willful misconduct, except that: 
 (1) this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of
this Section 7.01; 
 (2) the Trustee will not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible
Officer, unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and 
 (3) the Trustee will
not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.05 hereof. 

(d) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to
paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 7.01. 
 (e) No provision of this Indenture will require the Trustee to expend or
risk its own funds or incur any liability. The Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights and powers under this Indenture at the request of any Holder, unless such Holder has offered to the Trustee security and indemnity
satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense. 

  
 35 








 (f) The Trustee will not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee
may agree in writing with the Company. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

Section 7.02 Rights of Trustee.

document. 
 (b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel, or
both. The Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee may consult with counsel of its own selection and the advice of such
counsel or any Opinion of Counsel will be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon. 

(c) The Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents and will not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent appointed
with due care. 
 (d) The Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith that it believes to be authorized
or within the rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture. 
 (e) Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Indenture, any
demand, request, direction or notice from the Company will be sufficient if signed by an Officer of the Company. 
 (f) The Trustee will 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 unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it against
the losses, liabilities and expenses that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction. 
 (g) In no event shall the
Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, 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. 
 (h) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless
a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a Default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Notes and
this Indenture. 
 (i) 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. 

  
 36 








 (j) The Trustee may request that the Company deliver an Officers’ Certificate setting forth
the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, which Officers’ Certificate may be signed by any person authorized to sign an Officers’ Certificate, including
any person specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded. 
 Section 7.03 Individual Rights of
Trustee. 
 The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the
Company or any Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for
permission to continue as trustee (if this Indenture has been qualified under the TIA) or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 hereof. 

Section 7.04 Trustee’s Disclaimer. 

The Trustee will not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it shall not
be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the Company or upon the Company’s direction under any provision of this Indenture, it will not be responsible for the use or application of any money
received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it will not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the Notes or any other document in connection with the sale of the Notes or pursuant to this Indenture other
than its certificate of authentication. 
 Section 7.05 Notice of Defaults. 

If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee will mail to Holders of Notes of all
applicable series a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium or Additional Interest, if any, or interest on, any Note, the
Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Notes of such series. 

Section 7.06 Reports by Trustee to Holders of the Notes. 

(a) Within 60 days after each May 15 beginning with the May 15 following the date of this Indenture, and for so long as Notes remain
outstanding, the Trustee will mail to the Holders of the Notes a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA § 313(a) (but if no event described in TIA § 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the
reporting date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also will comply with TIA § 313(b). The Trustee will also transmit by mail all reports as required by TIA § 313(c). 

(b) A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to the Holders of Notes will be mailed by the Trustee to the Company and filed by the
Trustee with the SEC and each stock exchange on which the Notes are listed in accordance with TIA § 313(d). The Company will promptly notify the Trustee when the Notes of any series are listed on any stock exchange or delisted therefrom. 

  
 37 








 Section 7.07 Compensation and Indemnity. 

(a) The Company will pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder.
The Trustee’s compensation will not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company will reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by
it in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses will include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel. 

(b) The Company will indemnify the Trustee against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses incurred by it arising out of
or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company (including this Section 7.07) and defending itself against any claim
(whether asserted by the Company, any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except to the extent any such loss, liability or expense may be determined to
have been caused by its negligence or bad faith. The Trustee will notify the Company promptly of any claim for which the Trustee may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company will not relieve the Company of its obligations
hereunder. The Company will defend the claim and the Trustee will cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement
made without its consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. 
 (c) The obligations of the Company under this Section 7.07
will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 
 (d) To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this
Section 7.07, the Trustee will have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal and interest on particular Notes or particular series of Notes. Such Lien will
survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 
 (e) When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of
Default specified in Section 6.01(6) or (7) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any
Bankruptcy Law. 
 Section 7.08 Replacement of Trustee. 

(a) A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee will become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s
acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.08. 

  
 38 








 (b) The Trustee may resign in writing at any time and be discharged from the trust hereby created
by so notifying the Company. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of any series may remove the Trustee as to such series of Notes by so notifying the Trustee and the Company in writing. The Company
may remove the Trustee if: 
 (1) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof; 

(2) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any
Bankruptcy Law; 
 (3) a receiver, custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or 

(4) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting. 

(c) If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company will promptly appoint a
successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of any series may appoint a successor Trustee for such series of Notes to replace the
successor Trustee for such series of Notes appointed by the Company. 
 (d) If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after
the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company, or the Holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of any series may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Trustee for such series of Notes at the expense of the Company. 
 (e) If the Trustee, after written request by
any Holder who has been a Holder for at least six months, fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof, such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

(f) A successor Trustee will deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon, the
resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee will become effective, and the successor Trustee will have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee will mail a notice of its succession to the
Holders. The retiring Trustee will promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, provided that all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid, and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07 hereof.
Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.07 hereof will continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 

Section 7.09 Successor Trustee by Merger, etc. 

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

  
 39 








 Section 7.10 Eligibility; Disqualification. 

There will at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of
America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least [$100.0
million] as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. 
 This Indenture will always have a Trustee who
satisfies the requirements of TIA § 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee is subject to TIA § 310(b). 
 Section 7.11 Preferential
Collection of Claims Against Company. 
 The Trustee is subject to 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 8 
 LEGAL DEFEASANCE
AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE 
 Section 8.01 Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 

The Company may at any time, at the option of its Board evidenced by a resolution set forth in an Officers’ Certificate, elect to have
either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof be applied to all outstanding Notes or any series of Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8. 

Section 8.02 Legal Defeasance and Discharge. 

Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Company will,
subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes of such series on the date the conditions set forth in
Section 8.04 hereof are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company will be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding
Notes of such series which will thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (1) and (2) below, and to have satisfied
all their other obligations under such Notes of such series and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same) with respect to such series, except for the
following provisions which will survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: 
 (1) the rights of
Holders of outstanding Notes of such series to receive payments in respect of the principal of, or interest or premium and Additional Interest, if any, on, such Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to in Section 8.04 hereof;


  
 40 








 (2) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Article 2 and
Section 4.02 hereof; 
 (3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the
Company’s obligations in connection therewith; and 
 (4) this Article 8. 

Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Company may exercise its option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise
of its option under Section 8.03 hereof. 
 Section 8.03 Covenant Defeasance. 

Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Company will,
subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from each of its obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.03, 4.04, and 4.05 hereof and clause (3) of Section 5.01 hereof with
respect to the outstanding Notes of the applicable series (and with any additional specified terms, provisions or conditions set forth in any Board Resolution, Officers’ Certificate or supplemental indenture that establishes or amends the terms
of the Notes of any series) on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes of such series will thereafter be deemed not
“outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders of Notes of such series (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but will continue to be deemed
“outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes will not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes of such
series, the Company may omit to comply with and will have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere in this Indenture to any such
covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision in this Indenture or in any other document and such omission to comply will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but,
except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes will be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Sections 6.01(3) through 6.01(5) hereof will not constitute Events of Default with respect to such series of Notes. 

Section 8.04 Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance. 

In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance under either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof with respect to any
outstanding series of Notes: 
 (1) the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the
Holders of Notes of such series, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the
principal of, premium, if any, and interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the outstanding Notes of such series on the stated maturity or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Company must specify whether the Notes of
such series are being defeased to maturity or to a particular redemption date; 

  
 41 








 (2) in the case of an election under Section 8.02 hereof, the Company shall
have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that: 
 (A) the Company
has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or 
 (B) since the date of this
Indenture, 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 confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding Notes of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in
the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred; 
 (3) in the
case of an election under Section 8.03 hereof, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Holders of the outstanding Notes of such series will not recognize
income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant
Defeasance had not occurred; 
 (4) if applicable, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel
reasonably acceptable to the Trustee to the effect that the funds deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof will not be subject to the rights of the holders of any “Senior Indebtedness” as defined in any indenture supplemental hereto
applicable to the Notes of such series; 
 (5) no Default or Event of Default with respect to such series of Notes shall have
occurred and be continuing either: 
 (A) on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting
from transactions occurring contemporaneously with the borrowing of funds, or the borrowing of funds, to be applied to such deposit); or 

(B) insofar as the occurrence of Events of Default resulting from bankruptcy or insolvency events are concerned, at any time in
the period ending on the 91st day after the date of deposit (in which case such defeasance shall have been effective on the date of deposit until the time of such occurrence and, upon such occurrence, shall immediately cease to be effective); 

  
 42 








 (6) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or
violation of, or constitute a default under any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound; 

(7) the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company
with the intent of preferring the Holders of Notes of such series over the other creditors of the Company with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors of the Company or others; and 

(8) the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all
conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with. 
 Section 8.05 Deposited Money and
Government Securities to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. 
 Subject to Section 8.06 hereof, all money and
non-callable Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in
respect of the outstanding Notes of any series will be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent as the Trustee may
determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium and Additional Interest, if any, and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by
law. 
 The Company will pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash
or non-callable Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the
outstanding Notes of such series. 
 Notwithstanding anything in this Article 8 to the contrary, the Trustee will deliver or pay to the
Company from time to time upon the request of the Company any money or non-callable Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants
expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(1) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent
Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 
 Section 8.06 Repayment to Company. 

Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium or
Additional Interest, if any, or interest on, any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium or Additional Interest, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on its request or (if then
held by the Company) will be discharged from such trust; and the 

  
 43 








 
Holder of such Note will thereafter be permitted to look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all
liability of the Company as trustee thereof, will thereupon cease; 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 the New
York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which will not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed
balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company. 
 Section 8.07 Reinstatement. 

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. dollars or non-callable Government Securities in accordance with Section 8.02
or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the
applicable Notes will be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02
or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Company makes any payment of principal of, premium or Additional Interest, if any, or interest on, any such Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company will be
subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

more series without the consent of any Holder of Notes: 
 (1) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency; 

(2) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes; 

(3) to provide for the assumption of the Company’s obligations to the Holders of the Notes of any series by a successor to
the Company pursuant to Article 5 or Article 10 hereof; 
 (4) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or
benefits to the Holders of all or any series of Notes (and if such additional rights or benefits are for the benefit of less than all series of Notes, stating that such additional rights or benefits are expressly being included solely for the

 44 








 (5) to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the
qualification of this Indenture under the TIA; 
 (6) to conform the text of this Indenture or the Notes of any series to any
provision of the “Description of Notes” section of any prospectus or prospectus supplement or other offering document or similarly named section thereof, relating to the initial offering of such series of Notes, to the extent that such
provision in that “Description of Notes” section of any prospectus or prospectus supplement or other offering document or similarly named section thereof was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of this Indenture or the
Notes of such series; 
 (7) to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes of any series of Notes (including any additional
or different restrictions on transfer or exchange of such Additional Notes, including without limitation those that would be appropriate if the Additional Notes were issued in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act) in
accordance with the limitations set forth in this Indenture prior to such issuance of Additional Notes; 
 (8) to secure the
Notes of any series; 
 (9) to add to the covenants of the Company for the benefit of the Holders of all or any series of

 (10) to establish the form or terms of Notes of any series as permitted by this Indenture; 

(11) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor Trustee with respect to the Notes of

(12) to add to, change or eliminate any of the provisions of this Indenture in respect of one or more series of Notes, provided
that any such addition, change or elimination (i) shall neither (A) apply to any Note of any series created prior to the execution of such supplemental indenture and entitled to the benefit of such provision nor (B) modify the rights
of the Holder of any such Note with respect to such provision or (ii) shall become effective only when there is no Note described in clause (i) outstanding. 

Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of its Board authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental
indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee will join with the Company in the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this
Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee will not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities
under this Indenture or otherwise. 

  
 45 








 Section 9.02 With Consent of Holders of Notes. 

Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture (including, without
limitation, any provisions relating to any mandatory offer by the Company to purchase or repurchase any Notes and the defined terms used therein) and the Notes, with respect to a particular series of Notes affected by such amendment or supplement,
with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount then outstanding of such series of the Notes (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) voting as a separate class (including, without limitation,
consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, such series of Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in
the payment of the principal of, premium or Additional Interest, if any, or interest on, a series of Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture or the
Notes may be waived with respect to a particular series of Notes with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of such series (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any)
voting as a separate class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, such series of Notes). Section 2.08 hereof shall determine which Notes are considered to be
“outstanding” for purposes of this Section 9.02. 
 Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of its Board
authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the appropriate Holders as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the
documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee will join with the Company in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture unless such amended or supplemental indenture directly affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties
or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but will not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental Indenture. 

It is not be necessary for the consent of the Holders of Notes under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed
amendment, supplement or waiver, but it is sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 
 After an amendment, supplement or
waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company will mail to the Holders of Notes affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect
therein, will not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental indenture or waiver. 
 However,
without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder): 

(1) reduce the principal amount of Notes of any series whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver, 

  
 46 








 (2) reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note or alter the
provisions with respect to the redemption of any series of Notes; provided, however, that any provision providing for the mandatory offer by the Company to purchase or repurchase Notes (and any related provision) shall not be deemed a provision with
respect to the redemption of the Notes, 
 (3) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any Note,
including default interest, 
 (4) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, or
interest or Additional Interest, if any, on any series of Notes (except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes of such series by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of such series and a
waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration), 
 (5) make any Note payable in currency other than that
stated in the Notes, 
 (6) make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the
rights of Holders of Notes to receive payments of principal of or premium, if any, or interest or Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes, 

(7) waive a redemption payment with respect to any Note; provided, however, that any purchase or repurchase of Notes by the
Company pursuant to a mandatory offer to purchase or repurchase by the Company shall not be deemed a redemption of a Note, or 

(8) make any change in the foregoing amendment and waiver provisions. 

A supplemental indenture that changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Indenture that has expressly been included solely
for the benefit of one or more particular series of Notes, or that modifies the rights of the Holders of Notes of such series with respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture of the
Holders of Notes of any other series. A supplemental indenture that changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Indenture with respect to one or more particular series of Notes (whether or not such covenant or other provision has
expressly been included solely for the benefit of such series of Notes), or that modifies the rights of the Holders of Notes of such series with respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this
Indenture of the Holders of Notes of any other series. 
 Section 9.03 Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. 

Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Notes of one or more series will be set forth in an amended or supplemental indenture
that complies with the TIA as then in effect. 

  
 47 








 Section 9.04 Revocation and Effect of Consents. 

Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a
Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a
Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date upon which the requisite consents for the applicable amendment, supplement or waiver have been obtained. An amendment, supplement or
waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder. 
 Section 9.05 Notation on or Exchange of Notes. 

The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Company, in
exchange for all Notes of a series, may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new Notes of such series that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver. 

Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note of an affected series will not affect the validity and effect of such amendment,
supplement or waiver. 
 Section 9.06 Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc. 

The Trustee will sign any amended or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not
adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. The Company may not sign an amended or supplemental indenture until the Board of the Company approves it. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee
will be provided with and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) will be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 12.04 hereof, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the
execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. 
 Section 9.07 Reference in Notes to Supplemental
Indentures. 
 Notes of any series authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant this Article 9
and affected thereby may, if required by the Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Company shall so determine, new Notes of any series so modified as to conform,
in the opinion of the Trustee and the Board of Directors, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for outstanding Notes of such series.

 SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE 

Section 11.01 Satisfaction and Discharge. 

This Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all Notes of a particular series issued hereunder, when: 

(1) either: 

(A) all Notes of such series that have been authenticated, except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes that have been replaced or
paid and Notes of such series for whose payment money has been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Company, have been delivered to the trustee for cancellation; or 

(B) all Notes of such series that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason
of the mailing of a notice of redemption (and all conditions to such redemption having been satisfied or waived) or otherwise or will become due and payable within one year and the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the
Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable Government Securities, in amounts as will be sufficient,
without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes of such series not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium and Additional Interest, if any, and accrued
interest to the date of maturity or redemption; 
 (2) if the Company has deposited with the Trustee trust funds pursuant to
subclause (B) of clause (1) of this Section 11.01, no Default or Event of Default with respect to such series of Notes has occurred and is continuing on the date of the deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default with respect to
such series of Notes resulting from transactions occurring contemporaneously with the borrowing of funds, or the borrowing of funds, to be applied to such deposit) and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default
under, any other instrument to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound; 
 (3) the Company has paid or
caused to be paid all sums payable by it under this Indenture as they relate to such series of Notes; and 
 (4) if the
Company has deposited with the Trustee trust funds pursuant to subclause (B) of clause (1) of this Section 11.01, the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under this Indenture to apply the deposited money

 In addition, the
Company must deliver an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied. 

  
 49 








 Upon compliance with the foregoing, the Trustee shall execute proper instrument(s) acknowledging
the satisfaction and discharge of all the Company’s obligations under the Notes of such series and this Indenture. 
 Notwithstanding
the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if trust funds have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (B) of clause (1) of this Section 11.01, the provisions of Sections 11.02 and 8.06 hereof will survive. In
addition, nothing in this Section 11.01 will be deemed to discharge those provisions of Section 7.07 hereof, that, by their terms, survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 

Section 11.02 Application of Trust Money. 

Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof, all trust funds deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof shall
be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes of a particular series and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the
Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium and Additional Interest, if any) and interest for whose payment such trust funds have has been deposited with the Trustee; but such trust funds need not be
segregated from other funds or securities except to the extent required by law. 
 If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply
any trust funds in accordance with this Section 11.02 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 Notes of such series shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof; provided that if the Company has made any payment of
principal of, premium or Additional Interest, if any, or interest on, any Notes of such series because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes of such series to receive such
payment from the trust funds held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

[Insert the Global Note Legend, if applicable pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture] 

Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated. 

(1) INTEREST. Institutional Financial Markets, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the
principal amount of this Note at [            ]% per annum from             , 20
            until maturity. The Company will pay interest and Additional Interest, if any, semi-annually in arrears on
[            ] and [            ] of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day
(each, an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance; provided that if there is no existing Default in
the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided further
that the first Interest Payment Date shall be             , 20    . The Company will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any
Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at the rate then in effect to the extent lawful; it will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue
installments of interest and Additional Interest, if any, (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the same rate to the extent lawful. 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 Notes (except defaulted interest) and Additional
Interest, if any, to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the [            ] and
[            ] next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in
Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes will be payable as to principal, premium and Additional Interest, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose within
or without the City and State of New York, or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest and Additional Interest, if any, may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided that
payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds will be required with respect to principal of and interest, premium and Additional Interest, if any, on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which will have provided wire
transfer instructions to the Company or the Paying Agent. Such payment will be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. 

(3) PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Initially, [            ], the
Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity. 

  
 58 








 (4) INDENTURE. The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of [
            ,         ] (the “Indenture”) between the Company and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the
Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the TIA. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this
Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Notes are unsecured obligations of the Company. The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal
amount of the Notes that may be issued thereunder. 
 (5) OPTIONAL REDEMPTION. 

[Insert, if applicable:] 

(a) Except as set forth in the subparagraphs of this Paragraph 5, the Company will not have the option to redeem the Notes
prior to [            ]. On or after [            ], the Company will have the option to redeem the Notes, in whole or in part,
upon not less than 15 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount thereof) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes redeemed, to the
applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on [            ] of the years indicated below:

	 [            ]
	  	 	[            	]% 
	 [            ] and thereafter
	  	 	100.000	% 

 Unless the Company defaults in the payment of the redemption price, interest and the Additional Interest, if any, will cease
to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on the applicable redemption date. 
 [Insert, if applicable:] 

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph 5, at any time prior to
[            ], the Company may redeem up to 35% of the initially outstanding aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under this Indenture at a redemption price in cash of
[            ] % of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the redemption date, with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity
Offerings of the Company; provided that at least 65% of the initially outstanding aggregate principal amount of Notes (excluding Notes held by the Company and its Subsidiaries) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such
redemption, notice of any such redemption shall be given by the Company to the Holders and the Trustee within 15 days after the consummation of any such Equity Offering, and such redemption shall occur within 60 days of the date of such notice.

 [Insert, if applicable:] 

(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph 5, at any time prior to
[            ], the Company may redeem all or a part of the Notes upon not less than 15 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice mailed by first-class mail to each Holder’s registered
address, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the redemption date, subject to the rights of holders of
Notes on the relevant record dates occurring prior to the redemption date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date. 

“Applicable Premium” means with respect to any Note on any redemption date, as determined by the
Company, the greater of: 
 (1) 1.0% of the principal amount of the Note; or 

(2) the excess of: 

(a) the present value at such redemption date of (i) the redemption price of the Note at
[            ] (such redemption price being set forth in the table appearing under Section 5 of this Note) plus (ii) all required interest payments due on the Note through
[            ] (excluding accrued but unpaid interest to the redemption date), computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate as of such redemption date plus 50 basis points;
over 
 (b) the principal amount of the Note. 

(6) MANDATORY REDEMPTION. The Company is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the
Notes. 
 (7) NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. Notice of redemption will be mailed at least 15 days but not more than 60 days
before the redemption date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of
the Notes or a satisfaction or discharge of the Indenture as to the Notes. Notes in denominations larger than $1,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed. A notice
of redemption may be conditional in that the Company may, notwithstanding the giving of the notice of redemption, condition the redemption of the Notes specified in the notice of redemption upon the completion of other transactions, such as
refinancings or acquisitions (whether of the Company or by the Company). 
 (8) DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE. The
Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The 


  
 60 








 
Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees
required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, the Company
need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or during the period between a record date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date. 

(9) PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. The registered Holder of a Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes. 

(10) AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture and the Notes may be amended or supplemented
with respect to a series of Notes affected by such amendment or supplement with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount then outstanding of such series of Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) voting as a
separate class, and, subject to certain exceptions, any existing Default or Event or Default or compliance with any provision of the Indenture or the Notes may be waived with respect to a series of Notes with the consent of the Holders of a majority
in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of such series (including Additional Notes of such series, if any) voting as a separate class. Without the consent of any Holder of Notes, the Indenture or the Notes of one or more series
may be amended or supplemented to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes, to provide for the assumption of the Company’s obligations to Holders of all or
any series of Notes in case of a merger or consolidation, to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of any series of Notes (and if such additional rights or benefits are for the benefit of less than all
series of Notes, stating that such additional rights or benefits are expressly being included solely for the benefit of such series) or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any such Holder, to comply with the
requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA, to conform the text of the Indenture or the Notes to any provision of the “Description of Notes” section of any prospectus or
prospectus supplement or other offering document or similarly named section, relating to the initial offering of the Notes, to the extent that such provision in that “Description of Notes” was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a
provision of the Indenture, or the Notes, to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes of such series in accordance with the limitations set forth in the Indenture prior to such issuance of Additional Notes, to secure the Notes of any series, to
add to the covenants of the Company for the benefit of the Holders of all or any series of Notes (and if such covenants are to be for the benefit of less than all series of Notes, stating that such covenants are expressly being included solely for
the benefit of such series) or to surrender any right or power conferred upon the Company to establish the form and terms of any series as permitted by the Indenture, or to add to, change or eliminate any of the provisions of the Indenture in
respect of one or more series of Notes subject to certain limitations. 
 (11) DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. Events of Default
include with respect to Notes of any series: (i) default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Notes of such series; (ii) default in payment of the principal of or premium, if 


  
 61 








 
any, on the Notes of such series when due and payable, at maturity, upon acceleration, redemption or otherwise; (iii) failure by the Company to comply with any of its other agreements in the
Indenture (other than an agreement that has been included in the Indenture solely for the benefit of a series of Notes other than such series) or the Notes of such series for 60 days after written notice to the Company by the Trustee or the Holders
of at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes of such series then outstanding voting as a single class; (iv) default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced
any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company) whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists, or is created after the
date such series of Notes was first issued, which default is caused by a failure to pay principal of or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on such Indebtedness prior to the expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness on the date
of such default (a “Payment Default”), or results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity 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 $10 million or more; (v) failure by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company to pay final judgments aggregating in excess
of $10 million, net of any amounts reasonably expected to be covered by insurance, that remain undischarged for a period of 60 days after such judgment or judgments become final and non-appealable; and (vi) certain events of bankruptcy or
insolvency with respect to the Company. If any Event of Default with respect to the Notes of any series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of such series
may declare all the Notes of such series to be due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, all outstanding Notes of such series will become
due and payable immediately without further action or notice. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes of such series except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the then outstanding Notes of such series may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power with respect to the Notes of such series. The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers at the request or
direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or
direction. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes of such series notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or interest or premium or Additional
Interest, if any) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture, the sole remedy for an Event of Default relating to the failure to comply with the SEC reporting obligations
described under the Indenture, and for any failure to comply with the requirements of section 314(a) of the TIA, will for the 365 days after the occurrence of such an Event of Default consist exclusively of the right to receive Additional Interest
on the principal amount of the Notes of such series at a rate equal to 0.25% per annum. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of such series by notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders
of all of the Notes of such series, (i) rescind an acceleration and its consequences, if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default (except nonpayment of principal, interest or premium


  
 62 








 
or Additional Interest, if any, that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived or (ii) waive any existing Default or Event of Default with respect to the
Notes of such series and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest or premium or Additional Interest, if any, on, or the principal of, the Notes of such series. The Company is
required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Company is required, upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or
Event of Default. 
 [Insert, if applicable:] 

(    ) SUBORDINATION. Payment of principal, interest and premium and Additional Interest, if any, on the
Notes is subordinated to the prior payment of Senior Indebtedness on the terms provided in the Indenture. 
 (12) TRUSTEE
DEALINGS WITH THE COMPANY. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if it
were not the Trustee. 
 (13) NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. A director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of
the Company, as such, will not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Notes or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note
waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes. 

(14) AUTHENTICATION. This Note will not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating
agent. 
 (15) ABBREVIATIONS. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN
COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act). 

(16) CUSIP NUMBERS. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the
Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes, and the Trustee may use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or
as contained in any notice of redemption, and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon. 

(17) GOVERNING LAW. THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WILL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THE INDENTURE AND THIS NOTE
WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.
