(d) any liability for taxes, (e) Trade Payables and (f) any Indebtedness of the Company which is expressly subordinate in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company, and (y) renewals, extensions, modifications and
refundings of any such Indebtedness. For purposes of the foregoing and the definition of “Senior Indebtedness,” the phrase “subordinated in right of payment” means debt subordination only and not lien subordination, and
accordingly, (i) unsecured indebtedness shall not be deemed to be subordinated in right of payment to secured indebtedness merely by virtue of the fact that it is unsecured, and (ii) junior liens, second liens and other contractual
arrangements that provide for priorities among Holders of the same or different issues of indebtedness with respect to any collateral or the proceeds of collateral shall not constitute subordination in right of payment. This definition may be
modified or superseded by a supplemental indenture. 
 “Significant Subsidiary” means, with respect to any Person, any subsidiary
of such Person that would be a “significant subsidiary” of such Person as defined in Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X, promulgated pursuant to the Exchange Act,
as such Regulation is in effect on the Issue Date of Securities of the applicable series. 
 “Stated Maturity,” when used with
respect to any Security or any installment of principal thereof or interest thereon, means the date specified in such Security or a coupon representing such installment of interest as the fixed date on which the principal of such Security or such
installment of principal or interest is due and payable. 
 “Subsidiary” means, when used with respect to any Person: 

 

	 	(a)	 any corporation, limited liability company, association or other business entity of which more than 50% of the
total voting power of shares of Capital Stock entitled (without regard to the occurrence of any contingency and after giving effect to any voting agreement or stockholders’ agreement that effectively transfers voting power) to vote in the
election of directors, managers or trustees of the corporation, association or other business entity that is at the time owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by that Person or one or more of the other Subsidiaries of that Person (or a
combination thereof); and 


  

	 	(b)	 any partnership (i) the sole general partner or the managing general partner of which is such Person or a
Subsidiary of such Person or (ii) the only general partners of which are that Person or one or more Subsidiaries of that Person (or any combination thereof). 



For the purposes of this definition, “control” when used with respect to any specified Person means the power to direct the
management and policies of such Person, directly or indirectly, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise; and the terms “controlling” and “controlled” have meanings correlative to the
foregoing. 
 “Subsidiary Guarantors” means, with respect to any series of Securities, the Person or Persons, if any, named in
accordance with Section 3.01(g) as the “Subsidiary Guarantors” with 

  
 6 













 
respect to such series until a successor Person or Persons shall have become such pursuant to the applicable provisions of this Indenture, and thereafter “Subsidiary Guarantors” with
respect to such series of Securities shall mean such successor Person or Persons, and any other Subsidiary of the Company who may execute this Indenture, or a supplement thereto, for the purpose of providing a Guarantee for such series of Securities
pursuant to this Indenture. If a series of Securities does not have any Subsidiary Guarantors, all references in this Indenture to Subsidiary Guarantors shall be ignored with respect to such series of Securities. 

“Trade Payables” means accounts payable or any other Indebtedness or monetary obligations to trade creditors created or assumed by
the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company in the ordinary course of business (including guarantees thereof or instruments evidencing such liabilities). 

“Trust Indenture Act” means the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, as in force at the date as of which this Indenture was
originally executed, and “TIA”, when used in respect of an indenture supplemental hereto, means such Act as in force at the time such indenture supplemental hereto becomes effective. 

“Trustee” means the Person named as the “Trustee” in the first paragraph of this Indenture until a successor Trustee shall
have become such pursuant to the applicable provisions of this Indenture, and thereafter “Trustee” shall mean or include each Person who is then a Trustee hereunder; provided, however, that if at any time there is more than
one such Person, “Trustee” as used with respect to the Securities of any series shall mean only the Trustee with respect to Securities of that series. 

ARTICLE 2.

SECTION 2.01. Forms Generally. The Securities of each series shall be in substantially the form as set forth in this Article, or in

[TITLE OF SECURITY] 

[If applicable, insert – 1. Interest. GrafTech International Ltd., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”),
promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at the rate per annum shown above. The Company shall pay interest, payable semi-annually in arrears,
on                and                of each year, with the first payment to be made
on                 ,                . Interest on the Securities shall accrue on the
principal amount from, and including, the most recent date to which interest has been paid or provided for or, if no interest has been paid, from, and
including,            ,            , in each case to, but excluding, the next Interest Payment Date or the Stated Maturity for
the payment of principal on the Securities, as the case may be [if applicable, insert – ; provided that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, the Company shall 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 a rate that is    % per annum in excess of the rate then in effect; it shall pay interest (including
post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the same rate to the extent lawful.] Interest shall be computed on
the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.] 

2.    Maturity. The Securities will mature
on                 ,                . 

3.    Method of Payment. [If applicable, insert – Except as provided in the Indenture (as defined
below), the Company shall pay interest on the Securities to the persons who are Holders of record of Securities at the close of business on the Regular Record Date set forth on the face of this Security next preceding the applicable Interest Payment
Date.] Holders must surrender Securities to a Paying Agent to collect the principal amount. The Company shall pay, in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts, all amounts due in
cash with respect to the Securities, which amounts shall be paid (A) in the case this Security is a Global Security, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by the Depository for the Securities or its nominee;
and (B) in the case this Security is a Physical Security, by mailing a check to the address of the relevant Holder set forth in the Security Register for the Securities. [If applicable, insert – The Company shall pay, in cash,
interest on any overdue amount (including, to the extent permitted by applicable law, overdue interest) at the rate borne by the Securities.] 

4.    Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (the
“Trustee”) shall act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar upon prior written notice to the Trustee. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.

 5.    Indenture. The Company issued the Securities under an
indenture dated as of                 , (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time prior to the date hereof, the “Base
Indenture”) among the Company, [the potential subsidiary guarantors listed therein] and the Trustee, as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified by the Supplemental Indenture No. (the “Supplemental Indenture”), dated as
of                 ,                , among the Company, the subsidiary guarantors listed
therein and the Trustee (the Base Indenture, as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified by the Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”). The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of
the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S. Code §§ 77aaa-77bbbb) (the “TIA”), as amended and in effect from time to time. The Securities 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 Security conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Securities are
[general unsecured senior] obligations of the Company. The original Securities are limited to $                aggregate principal amount, except as otherwise provided
in the Indenture (except for Securities issued in substitution for destroyed, mutilated, lost or stolen Securities). Subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture and without the consent of the Holders, the Company may issue additional
Securities. All Securities, including any additional Securities, shall be treated as a single class of securities under the Indenture. Terms used herein without definition and that are defined in the Indenture have the meanings assigned to them in
the Indenture. 
 [If applicable, insert – 6. Optional Redemption. The Securities are redeemable at the Company’s
election, in whole or in part, at any time at a redemption price equal to the greater of: 
  

	 	(1)	 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed then outstanding; and 



 

	 	(2)	 as determined by an Independent Investment Banker, the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled
payments of principal and interest on the Securities to be redeemed (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the redemption date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate,
plus                basis points; 


 plus, in either of
the above cases, accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption on the Securities to be redeemed. 
 If the Company selects a
redemption date that is on or after a Regular Record Date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, the accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall be paid to the person in whose name the Security is registered at the close of business on
such Regular Record Date. 
 The Company shall mail or cause to be mailed a notice of redemption at least 10 days, but not more than 60
days, before the redemption date to each Holder of the Securities 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 Securities or a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture. Notices of redemption may not be conditional. 

  
 10 













 Unless the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption
date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Securities or portions thereof called for redemption. Securities called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption. 

For purposes of the foregoing, the following terms have the following meanings: 

“Adjusted Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date: 

 

	 	(1)	 the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the
most recently published statistical release designated “H.15(519)” or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded United States
Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue (as defined below) (if no maturity is within three months before or after
the Remaining Life (as defined below), yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue shall be determined and the Adjusted Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a
straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month); or 


  

	 	(2)	 if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or
does not contain such yields, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount)
equal to the Comparable Treasury Price (as defined below) for such redemption date. 


 The Adjusted Treasury Rate shall be
calculated on the third Business Day preceding the redemption date. 
 “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States
Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker (as defined below) as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Securities that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial
practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Securities (“Remaining Life”). 

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, for any redemption date, (1) the average of four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations
(as defined below) for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average
of all such quotations. 

  
 11 













 “Independent Investment Banker” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers
appointed by the Company. 
 “Reference Treasury Dealer” means any of the primary U.S. Government securities dealers in New
York City. 
 “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any
redemption date, the average, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Independent
Investment Banker at 5:00 p m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such redemption date.] 
 [If applicable, insert
– 7. No Mandatory Redemption. The Company shall not be required to make mandatory redemption payments with respect to the Securities.] 

[If applicable, insert – 8. Repurchase at Option of Holder. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event,
and subject to certain conditions set forth in the Indenture, the Company shall be required to offer to purchase all of the outstanding Securities at a purchase price equal to % of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if
any, thereon to the date of repurchase.] 
 [If applicable, insert – 9. Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption shall
be mailed at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Securities 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 Article 10 or Article 11 of the Base Indenture. Securities in denominations larger than $2,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000, unless all of the Securities held by a Holder
are to be redeemed. Unless the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date, interest shall cease to accrue on Securities or portions thereof called for redemption.] 

10.    Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Securities are in registered form, without coupons, in denominations
of $2,000 principal amount and integral multiples of $1,000 principal amount. The transfer of Securities may be registered and Securities may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to
furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents. No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or similar governmental charge that
may be imposed in connection with certain transfers or exchanges. [If applicable, insert – The Company shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange any Security selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion
of any Security being redeemed in part. Also, the Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Securities for a period of 15 days next preceding the first mailing of notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed.] 

11.    Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of a Security shall be treated as the owner of such Security
for all purposes. 

  
 12 













 12.    Merger or Consolidation. The Company shall not consolidate
with or merge with or into, or sell, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets to, another Person (including pursuant to a statutory arrangement), whether in a single transaction or series of
related transactions, unless it complies with Article 8 of the Base Indenture. 
 13.    Amendments, Supplements and
Waivers. The Indenture or the Securities may be amended or supplemented as provided in the Indenture. 

14.    Defaults and Remedies. The Events of Default relating to the Securities are defined in Section 5.01 of
the Base Indenture. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities may declare the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary
obligations on all the then outstanding Securities 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 Securities shall become
due and payable immediately without further action or notice. 
 Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Securities except as provided
in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the
Securities notice of any continuing Default (except a Default relating to the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the Securities then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Securities waive any existing Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default in payment of the principal of,
premium, if any, or interest, if any, on, any of the Securities held by a non-consenting Holder. 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. 

15.    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. 

16.    No Recourse Against Others. A director, officer, employee, incorporator, stockholder or other owner, of the
Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor, as such, shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Securities or the Indenture, for any obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor under any Guarantee 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 Security waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Securities. 

17.    Authentication. This Security shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee
or an authenticating agent in accordance with the Indenture. 

  
 13 













 18.    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). 
 19.    CUSIP and ISIN Numbers. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on
Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP and ISIN numbers to be printed on the Securities and the Trustee may use CUSIP and ISIN 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 Securities or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon. 

THE COMPANY SHALL FURNISH TO ANY HOLDER UPON WRITTEN REQUEST AND WITHOUT CHARGE A COPY OF THE BASE INDENTURE OR THE SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE.

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 Officer’s Certificate setting forth, or
providing the manner for determining, the terms of the Securities of such series, and an appropriate record of any action taken pursuant thereto in connection with the issuance of any Securities of such series shall be delivered to the Trustee prior
to the authentication and delivery thereof. 
 SECTION 3.02. Authentication and Delivery of Securities. Upon the execution and
delivery of this Indenture, or from time to time thereafter, Securities may be executed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee for authentication, and upon delivery to the Trustee of all documents and certificates as required by this Indenture,
the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and make available for delivery said Securities to the Company or as may otherwise be set forth in a Company Order without any further action by the Company. 

SECTION 3.03. Execution of Securities. An Officer shall sign the Securities for the Company by manual or facsimile signature. If an
Officer of the Company whose signature is on any Security no longer holds that office at the time such Security is authenticated, such Security shall nevertheless be valid. 

SECTION 3.04. Certificate of Authentication. Only such Securities as shall bear thereon a certificate of authentication substantially
in the form hereinabove recited, executed by the Trustee by manual signature of one of its authorized signatories, shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or the related Guarantees or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. Such
certificate by the Trustee upon any Security executed by the Company shall be conclusive evidence that the Security so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the Holder is entitled to the benefits of this
Indenture or the related Guarantees.

 SECTION 3.05. Denomination and Date of Securities; Payments of Interest. (a) The
Securities shall be issuable in such denominations as shall be specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 but in any event not less than $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. In the absence of any such provisions with
respect to the Securities, the Securities shall be issuable in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Securities shall be numbered, lettered, or otherwise distinguished in such manner or in accordance with
such plans as the officers of the Company executing the same may determine with the approval of the Trustee. 
 Any of the Securities may be
issued with appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and variations, and may have imprinted or otherwise reproduced thereon such legend or legends, not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture, as may be required to comply with any
law or with any rules or regulations pursuant thereto, including those required by Section 3.06, or with the rules of any securities market in which the Securities are admitted to trading, or to conform to general usage. 

Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication, shall bear interest from the applicable date and shall be payable on the dates
specified on the face of the form of Security. Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 

(b)    Global Securities. If Securities of or within a series are issuable in whole or in part in global
form, then any such Security of such series shall be deposited with the Trustee as custodian for the Depositary and registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for the Depositary. The Global Security shall be deposited on behalf of the
purchasers of the Securities represented thereby with the Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary (or with such other custodian as the Depositary may direct), and registered in the name of the Depositary or a nominee of the Depositary, duly
executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as provided herein. The aggregate principal amount of the Global Securities may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee and the Depositary
or its nominee as provided herein. 
 (c)    The person in whose name any Security is registered at the
close of business on any Regular Record Date with respect to any Interest Payment Date shall be entitled to receive the interest, if any, payable on such Interest Payment Date notwithstanding any transfer or exchange of such Security subsequent to
the Regular Record Date and prior to such Interest Payment Date, except if and to the extent the Company shall default in the payment of the interest due on such Interest Payment Date, in which case such defaulted interest, plus (to the extent
lawful) any interest payable on the defaulted interest, shall be paid to the persons in whose names outstanding Securities are registered at the close of business on a subsequent record date (which shall be not less than five Business Days prior to
the date of such payment) established by notice given by mail by or on behalf of the Company to the Holders of Securities not less than 15 days preceding such subsequent record date. 

  
 18 













 SECTION 3.06. Global Security Legend. Any Security in global form authenticated and
delivered hereunder shall bear a legend in substantially the following form, or in such other form as may be necessary or appropriate to reflect the arrangements with or to comply with the requirements of any Depositary: 

THIS SECURITY IS A GLOBAL SECURITY WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE INDENTURE HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AND IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF THE DEPOSITARY
OR A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY, WHICH SHALL BE TREATED BY THE COMPANY, THE TRUSTEE AND ANY AGENT THEREOF AS OWNER AND HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY FOR ALL PURPOSES. 

UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY, TO THE COMPANY OR ITS AGENT FOR
REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY CERTIFICATE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CEDE & CO. OR IN SUCH OTHER NAME AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY (AND ANY PAYMENT HEREON
IS MADE TO CEDE & CO. OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL SINCE THE
REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN. 
 TRANSFERS OF THIS GLOBAL SECURITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO TRANSFERS IN
WHOLE, BUT NOT IN PART, TO NOMINEES OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY OR TO A SUCCESSOR THEREOF OR SUCH SUCCESSOR’S NOMINEE. 
 SECTION
3.07. Registration, Transfer and Exchange. The Securities are issuable only in registered form. The Company will keep at each office or agency (the “Registrar”) for each series of Securities a register or registers (the
“Security Register(s)”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, it will register, and will register the transfer of, Securities as provided in this Article. Such Security Register or Security Registers shall
be in written form in the English language or in any other form capable of being converted into such form within a reasonable time. At all reasonable times such Security Register or Security Registers shall be open for inspection by the Trustee. The
initial Registrar shall be the Trustee. 
 Upon due presentation for registration of transfer of any Security of any series at each such
office or agency, the Company shall execute and, upon receipt of a Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery in the name of the designated transferee or transferees a new Security or Securities of the same series,
in each case, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount. 
 At the option of the Holder, Securities of any
series (except a Security in global form) may be exchanged for other Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and Stated Maturity, upon surrender of the Securities to be


  
 19 













 
exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and, upon receipt of a Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and
make available for delivery, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 
 A Holder may transfer a Security
only by written application to the Registrar stating the name of the proposed transferee and otherwise complying with the terms of this Indenture. No such transfer shall be effected until, and such transferee shall succeed to the rights of a Holder
only upon, final acceptance and registration of the transfer by the Registrar in the Security Register. Prior to the registration of any transfer by a Holder as provided herein, the Company, each Subsidiary Guarantor, the Trustee, and any agent of
the Company or each Subsidiary Guarantor shall treat the person in whose name the Security is registered as the owner thereof for all purposes whether or not the Security shall be overdue, and neither the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor, the
Trustee, nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. Furthermore, any Holder of a Global Security shall, by acceptance of such Global Security, agree that transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Security may be effected
only through a book entry system maintained by the Depositary (or its nominee) and that ownership of a beneficial interest in the Security shall be required to be reflected in a book entry. When Securities are presented to the Registrar or a co-Registrar with a request to register the transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Securities of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange
as requested if the requirements for such transactions set forth herein are met. To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Securities at the Registrar’s request. 

The Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
exchange or registration of transfer of Securities (other than any such transfer taxes or other similar governmental charge payable upon exchanges pursuant to Section 3.11, 7.05 or 9.06). No service charge to any Holder shall be made for any
such transaction. 
 The Company shall not be required to exchange or register a transfer of (a) any Securities of any series for a
period of 15 days next preceding the first mailing of notice of redemption of Securities of that series to be redeemed, or (b) any Securities of any series selected, called or being called for redemption except, in the case of any Security of
any series where public notice has been given that such Security is to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not so to be redeemed. 

All Securities issued upon any transfer or exchange of Securities shall be valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and
entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such transfer or exchange. 
 The Trustee shall have
no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Security (including any transfers
between or among Agent Members or beneficial owners of interests in any Global Security) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly
required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof. 

  
 20 













 SECTION 3.08. Book-Entry Provisions for Global Securities. (a) Each Global
Security initially shall (i) be registered in the name of the Depositary for such Global Securities or the nominee of such Depositary, (ii) be delivered to the Trustee as custodian for such Depositary and (iii) bear legends as set
forth in Section 3.06. 
 Members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with
respect to any Global Security held on their behalf by the Depositary, or the Trustee as its custodian, or under the Global Security, and the Depositary shall be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the
absolute owner of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee, from giving effect to any written certification,
proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of any Security. 

(b)    Transfers of a Global Security shall be limited to transfers of such Global Security in whole, but
not in part, to the Depositary for such series, its successors or their respective nominees. The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that the Securities of a series issued in the form of one or more Global Securities shall
no longer be represented by such Global Securities. In such event, the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of definitive Securities of such series of like tenor, will
authenticate and deliver Securities of such series of like tenor and terms in definitive form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security or Securities of such series in exchange for such Global Security or
Securities. Interests of beneficial owners in a Global Security may be transferred in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depositary. 

In addition, Physical Securities shall be transferred to all beneficial owners in exchange for their beneficial interests in a
Global Security, if (i) the Depositary (A) notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security, and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of such notice, or
(B) ceases to be qualified to serve as Depositary and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of such notice, (ii) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee a Company Order that such Global Security
shall be so transferable, registrable and exchangeable, and such transfers shall be registrable, or (iii) an Event of Default of which the Trustee has actual notice has occurred and is continuing and the Registrar has received a request from a
beneficial owner to issue such Physical Securities. 
 (c)    Any beneficial interest in a Global
Security that is transferred to a person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in another Global Security representing securities of the same series will, upon transfer, cease to be an interest in such Global Security and become an interest
in such other Global Security and, accordingly, will 

  
 21 













 thereafter be subject to all transfer restrictions, if any, and other procedures applicable
to beneficial interests in such other Global Security for as long as it remains such an interest. 

(d)    In connection with any transfer of a portion of the beneficial interests in a Global Security to
beneficial owners pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 3.08, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in the principal amount of such Global Security in an amount equal to the principal amount of
the beneficial interest in such Global Security to be transferred, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, one or more Physical Securities of like tenor and amount. 

(e)    In connection with the transfer of an entire Global Security to beneficial owners pursuant to
paragraph (b) of this Section, such Global Security shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Company shall execute, and upon receipt of a Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, to each
beneficial owner identified by the Depositary in exchange for its beneficial interest in such Global Security, an equal principal amount of Physical Securities of authorized denominations. 

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

(g)    Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall have any responsibility for any actions taken or not taken
by the Depositary. 
 SECTION 3.09. Mutilated, Defaced, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities. In case any temporary or definitive
Security shall become mutilated, defaced or be apparently destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company in its discretion may execute, and upon the written request of any officer of the Company and delivery to the Trustee of all documents and certificates
as required by this Indenture, the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, a new Security of the same series bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated or defaced Security,
or in lieu of and substitution for the Security so apparently destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case the applicant for a substitute Security shall furnish to the Company, each Subsidiary Guarantor and the Trustee and any agent of the Company or
the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by each of them to indemnify and defend and to save each of them harmless and, in every case of mutilation or defacement, such mutilated or defaced security, and, in every case of
destruction, loss or theft evidence to their satisfaction of the apparent destruction, loss or theft of such Security and of the ownership thereof. 

Upon the issuance of any substitute Security, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. In case any Security which has matured or is about to mature, or has been called for redemption in full,
shall become mutilated or defaced or be apparently destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company may, instead of issuing a substitute Security of the same series, pay or authorize 

  
 22 













 
the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated or defaced Security), if the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the Company, each Subsidiary
Guarantor and to the Trustee and any agent of the Company, each Subsidiary Guarantor or the Trustee such security or indemnity as any of them may require to save each of them harmless from all risks, however remote, and, in every case of mutilation
or defacement, such mutilated or defaced security, and, in every case of apparent destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Company, each Subsidiary Guarantor and the Trustee and any agent of the Company, each Subsidiary
Guarantor or the Trustee evidence to their satisfaction of the apparent destruction, loss or theft of such Security and of the ownership thereof. 

Every substitute Security issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section by virtue of the fact that any Security is apparently destroyed,
lost or stolen shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Company whether or not the apparently destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone and shall be entitled to all the benefits of (but shall
be subject to all the limitations of rights set forth in) this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Securities shall be held and owned upon the express condition
that, to the extent permitted by law, with respect to the holder of a substitute Security, the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, defaced, or apparently destroyed, lost or stolen Securities
and shall preclude any and all other rights or remedies notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment of negotiable instruments or other securities without their
surrender. 
 SECTION 3.10. Cancellation of Securities. All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer
or exchange, if 
 surrendered to the Company, a Subsidiary Guarantor or any agent of the Company, a Subsidiary Guarantor or the Trustee, shall be delivered
to the Trustee for cancellation or, if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be cancelled by it; and no Securities shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. The Trustee shall dispose of
cancelled Securities in accordance with its customary procedures. If the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor shall acquire any of the Securities, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by
such Securities unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 
 SECTION 3.11. Temporary Securities.
Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery temporary Securities of such series (printed, lithographed, typewritten or otherwise
reproduced, in each case in form satisfactory to the Trustee). Temporary Securities shall be issuable as registered Securities of such series without coupons, of any authorized denomination, and substantially in the form of the definitive Securities
of such series but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Securities, all as may be determined by the Company with the concurrence of the Trustee. Temporary Securities may contain such reference to any
provisions of this Indenture as may be appropriate. Every temporary Security shall be executed by the Company and be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with like effect, as the definitive
Securities of such series. Without unreasonable delay the Company shall execute and shall 

  
 23 













 
furnish definitive Securities of such series and thereupon temporary Securities of such series may be surrendered in exchange therefor without charge at each office or agency to be maintained by
the Company for the purpose pursuant to Section 4.02, and upon delivery to the Trustee of all documents and certificates as required by this Indenture, the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery in exchange for such
temporary Securities a like aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of such series of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged the temporary Securities of such series shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as
definitive Securities of such series. 
 SECTION 3.12. CUSIP and ISIN Numbers. The Company in issuing the Securities of any series
may use a “CUSIP” and “ISIN” number (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use the CUSIP numbers or ISIN numbers, as the case may be, in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders of such
series; provided that any such notice shall state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of redemption or exchange and that reliance may be placed
only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP numbers or ISIN
numbers. 
 SECTION 3.13. Treasury Securities. In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Securities have
concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Securities owned by the Company, or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company, shall be considered as though not
outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Securities that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so
disregarded. 
 SECTION 3.14. Holder Lists. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most
recent list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders and shall otherwise comply with Trust Indenture Act § 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee at least seven Business Days
before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may reasonably 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 Notes, and the
Company shall otherwise comply with Trust Indenture Act § 312(a). 
 ARTICLE 4. 

CERTAIN COVENANTS

Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest on Securities. The Company, for the benefit of each series of the Securities, will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal of and any premium and any interest on the Securities of
that series in accordance with the terms of such Securities and this Indenture. Principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Securities of that series shall 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, 

  
 24 













 on the due date money deposited by the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor in immediately available funds and

SECTION 4.02. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Company will maintain a Payment Office where Securities may be presented or
surrendered for payment, where Securities may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, and where notices and demands to or upon the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the Securities and this Indenture may be served. The
Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee and the Subsidiary Guarantors of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or
shall fail to furnish the Trustee or the Subsidiary Guarantors with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices, and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office, and the Company hereby initially appoints the Trustee
at its office or agency as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands. 
 The Company may also from time
to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Securities of one or more series may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however,
that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in accordance with the requirements set forth above for Securities of any series 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. 

SECTION 4.03. Money for Securities Payments to be Held in Trust. (a) If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent
with respect to any series of Securities, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of or any premium or any interest on any of the Securities of that series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a
sum sufficient to pay the principal and any premium and any interest so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

 (b)    Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of Securities, it
will, prior to each due date of the principal of or any premium or any interest on any Securities of that series, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such amount, such sum to be held as provided by the Trust Indenture Act, and
(unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. 

(c)    The Company will cause each Paying Agent for any series of Securities (other than the Trustee) to
execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent will agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 4.03, that such Paying Agent will (i) comply with the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act
applicable to it as a Paying Agent; (ii) hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest, if any, on the Securities of that series in trust for the benefit of the Holders until such sums shall be
paid to such Holders or 

  
 25 













 
otherwise disposed of as herein provided; (iii) give the Trustee notice of any Default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities) in the making of any payment of principal
(and premium, if any) or interest, if any, on the Securities of that series; and (iv) during the continuance of any Default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities of that series) in the making of any payment in respect of the
Securities of that series, and upon the written request of that Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent for payment in respect of the Securities of that series. 

(d)    The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this
Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such
sums were held by the Company or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent will be released from all further liability with respect to such money. 

(e)    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 or any premium or any interest on any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium, or interest has become due and payable will be paid to the Company upon a Company Order
(or, if then held by the Company, will be discharged from such trust); and the Holder of such Security will thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying
Agent with respect to such trust money 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 a
newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein,
which will not be less than 30 calendar days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company. 

SECTION 4.04. Reports. The Company shall file with the Trustee and the Commission, and transmit to Holders, such information, documents
and other reports, and such summaries thereof, as may be required pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act at the times and in the manner provided in the Trust Indenture Act; provided that, any such information, documents or reports required to be
filed with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act shall be filed with the Trustee within 30 calendar days after the same is filed with the Commission; provided further that the filing of the reports
specified in Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act by an entity that is the direct or indirect parent of the Company shall satisfy the requirements of this Section 4.04 so long as such entity is an obligor or guarantor on the Securities;
provided further that the reports of such entity shall not be required to include condensed consolidating financial information for the Company in a footnote to the financial statements of such entity. 

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 

  
 26 













 
information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled
to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates). It is expressly understood that materials transmitted electronically by the Company to the Trustee or filed pursuant to the Commission’s EDGAR system (or any successor electronic filing
system) shall be deemed filed with the Trustee and transmitted to Holders for purposes of this Section 4.04. 
 SECTION 4.05.
Compliance Certificate. 
 (a)    The Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor (to the extent that
such Subsidiary Guarantor is so required under the Trust Indenture Act) shall deliver to the Trustee, within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company ending after the first date any series of Securities issued under this Indenture is
outstanding, an Officer’s Certificate stating that a review of the activities of the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing Officer with a
view to determining whether the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under this Indenture, and further stating, as to such Officer signing such certificate, that to the
best of his or her knowledge the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, 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 shall have occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which he or she may have knowledge and what action the Company is taking or
proposes to take with respect thereto). 
 (b)    The Company shall, so long as any of the Notes are
outstanding, deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days upon any Officer of the Company becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, an Officer’s Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default and what action the Company is taking or
proposes to take with respect thereto. 
 SECTION 4.06. Taxes. The Company shall pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged,
and shall cause each of its subsidiaries to pay of discharge, prior to delinquency, all taxes, assessments, and governmental levies except such as are contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings or where the failure to effect such payment
is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Securities. 
 SECTION 4.07. Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. Each of the
Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall 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 (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) each of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby expressly waives all
benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it shall not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as
though no such law has been enacted. 

  
 27 













 SECTION 4.08. Waiver of Certain Covenants. The Company may omit in any particular
instance to comply with any term, provision, or condition set forth in this Indenture or any applicable supplemental indenture, with respect to the Securities of any series, if the Holders of a majority in principal amount of all outstanding
Securities of such series shall, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such term, provision, or condition in accordance with Article 7 and Section 5.07, but no such waiver will extend to or affect such
term, provision or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision, or condition will remain in
full force and effect. 
 ARTICLE 5. 

REMEDIES OF THE TRUSTEE AND HOLDERS ON EVENT OF DEFAULT 

SECTION 5.01. Events of Default. The term “Event of Default” with respect to Securities of any series, wherever used herein,
means any one of the following events which shall have occurred and be continuing (whatever the reason for such Event of Default), whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or
order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body): 

(a)    failure by the Company to pay interest, if any, on Securities of that series for 30 days after the
date payment is due and payable; or 
 (b)    failure by the Company to pay principal of or premium, if
any, on the Securities of that series when due, at Stated Maturity, upon any redemption, by declaration or otherwise; or 

(c)    failure by the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor to comply with any other covenant in this Indenture
or the Securities of that series for 90 days after notice that compliance was required; or 
 (d)    the
Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor with respect to such series that is a Significant Subsidiary, pursuant to or within the meaning of Bankruptcy Law: 

(i)    commences a voluntary case, or 

(ii)    consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case, or 

(iii)    consents to the appointment of a custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property,
or 
 (iv)    makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or 

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

  
 28 













 (e)    a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order
or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that: 
 (i)    is for relief against the Company or a Subsidiary
Guarantor with respect to such series that is a Significant Subsidiary as debtor in an involuntary case, or 

(ii)    appoints a custodian of the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor with respect to such series that is a
Significant Subsidiary as debtor, or for all or substantially all of the property of the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor with respect to such series that is a Significant Subsidiary, or 

(iii)    orders the liquidation of the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor with respect to such series that
is a Significant Subsidiary; and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days; or 

(f)    any Guarantee of any of the Subsidiary Guarantors with respect to such series that is a Significant
Subsidiary ceases to be in full force and effect with respect to Securities of that series (except as otherwise provided in this Indenture) or is declared null and void in a judicial proceeding, or any such Subsidiary Guarantor denies or disaffirms
its material obligations under this Indenture or such Guarantee; or 
 (g)    any other Event of Default
with respect to Securities of that series as provided in the applicable supplemental indenture. 
 SECTION 5.02. Acceleration.
(a) Subject to Section 5.03, if an Event of Default described in clauses (a) through (c) of Section 5.01 occurs and is continuing with respect to Securities of any series, then, and in each and every such case, either the Trustee
or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of then outstanding Securities of that series by notice in writing to the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), may declare the entire
principal of all the Securities of the affected series, and the interest accrued thereon, if any, to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration, the same shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default described
in clause (d) or (e) of Section 5.01 occurs and is continuing, then the principal amount of all the Securities of the affected series then outstanding, and the interest accrued thereon, if any, shall become and be immediately due and
payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. 
 (b)    At any
time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to the Securities of any series has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article 5 provided, the
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such series, by written notice to the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if 

(i)    the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay
(A) all overdue interest on all of the Securities of that series, (B) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) Securities of that 

  
 29 













 
series which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and any interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in the Securities of that series, (C) to the
extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in the Securities of that series, and (D) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and its agents and counsel; and 

(ii)    all Events of Default with respect to the Securities of that series, other than the non-payment of the principal of the Securities of that series which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.04. No such rescission will
affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 SECTION 5.03. Other Remedies. If an Event of Default with
respect to Securities of any series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal amount of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Securities of the affected series or to enforce
the performance of any provision of the Securities of such series or this Indenture. 
 The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it
does not possess any of the Securities of such series or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder 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. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the sole remedy for any breach of the Company’s obligation under this Indenture to file or furnish reports
or other financial information pursuant to Trust Indenture Act § 314(a)(1) (or as otherwise required by this Indenture) shall be the payment of liquidated damages, and the Holders will not have any right under this Indenture to accelerate the
Stated Maturity of the Securities of the affected series as a result of any such breach. If any such breach continues for 90 days after notice thereof is given in accordance with this Indenture, the Company shall pay liquidated damages to all the
Holders of the Securities of such series at a rate per annum equal to 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of the Securities of the affected series from the 90th day following such notice to but not including the date on which the Event of
Default relating to the reporting obligations referred to in this paragraph shall have been cured or waived. This paragraph will not affect the rights of the holders of Securities of the affected series in the event of the occurrence of any other
Event of Default. 
 SECTION 5.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Securities of any series then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Securities of such series waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or
Event of Default in the payment of the principal amount, premium, if any, and any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on any Security of such series or, in the case of the Securities of any series that are convertible or exchangeable, in the
payment or delivery of any consideration due upon conversion or exchange of the Securities of that series (including in connection with an 

  
 30 













 
offer to purchase); provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of any series may rescind an acceleration and
its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration in accordance with Section 5.02(b). Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed
to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

SECTION 5.05. Control by Majority. With respect to the Securities of any series, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the then outstanding Securities of that 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. 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 that series or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability. 

SECTION 5.06. Limitation on Suits. A Holder of any Security of any series may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or the
Securities of the applicable series or the related Guarantees, if any, only if: 
 (a)    the Holder
gives to the Trustee written notice of an Event of Default and the continuance of such Event of Default; 

(b)    the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of that
series make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy; 
 (c)    such Holder or Holders have
offered to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request; 

(d)    the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of such notice, request
and offer of indemnity; and 
 (e)    during the 60-day period,
the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of such series do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request. 

Holders may not use this Indenture or any Securities to prejudice the rights of any other such Holders or Holders of Securities of any other
series or to obtain a preference or priority over any other Holders. 
 SECTION 5.07. Rights of Holders to Receive Payment.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal (whether at Stated Maturity, upon redemption (if applicable), upon any required repurchase by the Company (if applicable) or otherwise) of
(and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on any Security or, if applicable, payment or delivery of any consideration due upon conversion or exchange of any Security, in each case, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Security,
or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment or delivery on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of the Holder. 

  
 31 













 SECTION 5.08. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in clauses
(a) or (b) of Section 5.01 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 or a Subsidiary Guarantor for the whole amount of principal of,
premium, if any, and interest, if any, remaining unpaid on any Securities of such series 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
5.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee 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 allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor or their respective creditors or properties 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 6.07. 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 6.07 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 Securities of any series or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of
the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. 
 SECTION 5.10. Priorities. If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this
Article, it shall pay out the money in the following order: 
 First: to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts due under
Section 6.07, including payment of all compensation, expense and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection; 

Second: to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Securities of any series for principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, ratably,
without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Securities of such series for principal, and premium, if any, and interest, if any, respectively; and 

  
 32 













 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 pursuant to this Section 5.10. 

SECTION 5.11. 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 does not apply to a suit by the
Trustee, a suit by a Holder of Securities of the affected series pursuant to Section 5.07 or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of any series. 

ARTICLE 6. 
 THE TRUSTEE 

SECTION 6.01. Duties of Trustee. 

(a)     If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the
rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture with respect to Securities of any series, 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: 

(i)    the duties of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture and

(ii)    in the absence of bad faith or willful misconduct 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 shall examine the certificates and opinions required to be furnished to the Trustee hereunder 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 state therein). 

(c)     The Trustee may not be relieved from liabilities for its own negligent action, its own
negligent failure to act, or its own bad faith or willful misconduct, except that: 
 (i)    this
paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section; 

  
 33 













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

(iii)    the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith
in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 5.05. 
 (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 6.01. 

(e)     No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or
incur any liability. The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights and powers under this Indenture at the request of any Holders, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to
it against any loss, liability or expense. 
 (f)     The Trustee shall not be liable for interest
on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

(b)    Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s Certificate or an
Opinion of Counsel or both. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee may consult with counsel of its own selection and
the written and oral advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall 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 shall not be responsible for the
misconduct or negligence of any attorney or agent appointed with due care.

Indenture, any demand, request, direction or notice from the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor shall be sufficient if signed by an Officer of the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be. 

(f)    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 Securities
and this Indenture. 
 (g)    The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the
Trustee, including, without limitation, its rights 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. 

(h)    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. 

(i)    The Trustee may request that the Company deliver a certificate setting forth the names of
individuals and/or titles of Officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture. 
 SECTION 6.03.
Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities of any series and may otherwise deal with the Company, a Subsidiary Guarantor or any of their respective
affiliates 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 Commission for permission to continue as
trustee or resign, subject to Sections 6.10 and 6.11. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. 
 SECTION 6.04.
Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or Securities of any series, it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the
proceeds from the Securities of any series or any money paid to the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor or upon the Company’s or such Subsidiary Guarantor’s direction under any provision of this Indenture, it shall not be responsible for the
use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it shall not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in Securities of any series or any other document in connection with the sale
of Securities of any series or pursuant to this Indenture other than its certificate of authentication. 
 SECTION 6.05. Notice of
Defaults. If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to the Securities of any series and if it is actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder of Securities of such
series a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it 

  
 35 













 occurs. Except with respect to a Default or Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series
relating to the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on the Securities of that series or in the payment or delivery of any consideration due upon conversion or exchange of any Security of such series (if applicable), 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 Securities of that series. 

SECTION 6.06. Reports by Trustee to Holders of the Securities. Within 60 days after each December 15 beginning with the
December 15 following the Issue Date of Securities of any series, and for so long as Securities of such series remain outstanding, the Trustee shall mail to the Holders of Securities of such series, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Company a
brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with the Trust Indenture Act § 313(a) (but if no event described in the Trust Indenture Act § 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report
need be transmitted). The Trustee also shall comply with the Trust Indenture Act § 313(b). The Trustee shall also transmit by mail all reports as required by the Trust Indenture Act § 313(c). 

A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to the Holders of Securities of such series shall be mailed to the Company or a Subsidiary
Guarantor and filed with the Commission and each stock exchange on which the Securities of that series are listed in accordance with the Trust Indenture Act § 313(d). The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee when any Securities are listed
on any stock exchange or delisted therefrom. 
 SECTION 6.07. Compensation and Indemnity. The Company shall pay to the Trustee from
time to time compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder as the Company and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a
trustee of an express trust. The Company shall 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 shall include
the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel. 
 The Company shall fully indemnify the
Trustee against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (including reasonable legal fees and 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 6.07) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company or 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 is caused by its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. The Trustee shall notify the Company and the
Subsidiary Guarantors promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall
cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. 

  
 36 













 The obligations of the Company under this Section 6.07 shall survive the satisfaction
and discharge of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee. 
 To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this
Section 6.07, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities of each series on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal and interest on particular Securities. Such lien shall
survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 
 When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default
specified in Section 5.01(d) or (e) 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. 

The provisions of this Section 6.07 shall survive termination of this Indenture. The Trustee shall comply with the provisions of the
Trust Indenture Act § 313(b)(2) to the extent applicable. 
 SECTION 6.08. Replacement of Trustee. A resignation or removal of
the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section. 

The Trustee may resign in writing at any time with regard to Securities of one or more series and be discharged from the trust hereby created
by so notifying the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of such series at the time outstanding may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee, the Company and the Subsidiary
Guarantors in writing. The Company may remove the Trustee with regard to Securities of one or more series if: 

(a)    the Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.10; 

(b)    the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to
the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law; 
 (c)    a custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee
or its property; or(d) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting. 
 If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office
of Trustee for any reason with regard to Securities of one or more series, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Securities of the affected series at the time outstanding may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. 

If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the
Company, a Subsidiary Guarantor or the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the Securities of any series at the time outstanding may petition at the expense of the Company any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
successor Trustee. 

  
 37 













 If the Trustee, after written request by any Holder who has been a Holder for at least six
months, fails to comply with Section 6.10, such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee, to the Company and to the Subsidiary
Guarantors. Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice
of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, provided all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the lien provided for in
Section 6.07. 
 SECTION 6.09. 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 shall be the successor Trustee. 

SECTION 6.10. Eligibility; Disqualification. There shall 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 $75.0 million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. 
 This
Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act § 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee is subject to the Trust Indenture Act § 310(b); provided, however, that there shall be
excluded from the operation of Trust Indenture Act § 310(b)(i) any indenture or indentures under which other securities or certificates of interest or participation in other securities of the Company are outstanding if the requirements for such
exclusion set forth in Trust Indenture Act § 310(b)(i) are met. 
 SECTION 6.11. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company
or a Subsidiary Guarantor. The Trustee is subject to the Trust Indenture Act § 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in the Trust Indenture Act § 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to the
Trust Indenture Act § 311(a) to the extent indicated therein. 
 SECTION 6.12. Trustee’s Application for Instructions from the
Company. Any application by the Trustee for written instructions from the Company may, at the option of the Trustee, set forth in writing any action proposed to be taken or omitted by the Trustee under this Indenture and the date on and/or after
which such action shall be taken or such omission shall be effective. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken by, or omission of, the Trustee in accordance with a proposal included in such application on or after the date specified in
such application (which date shall not be less than three Business Days after the date any Officer of the Company actually receives such application, unless any such Officer shall have consented in writing to any earlier date) unless prior to taking
any such action (or the effective date in the case of an omission), the Trustee shall have received written instructions in response to such application specifying the action to be taken or omitted.

 ARTICLE 7. 

SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES 
 SECTION
7.01. Supplemental Indentures Without Consent of Holders. The Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution (which resolution may provide general terms or parameters for such action and may provide that the specific terms of such action may
be determined in accordance with or pursuant to an Officer’s Certificate), the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter into one or more supplemental indentures (which shall conform to the provisions of
the TIA as in force at the date of the execution thereof) for one or more of the following purposes: 

(a)    to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge to the Trustee as security for the Securities of any
series, any property or assets; 
 (b)    to evidence the assumption of the Company’s obligations to
Holders of the Securities in the case of a merger, amalgamation or consolidation of the Company or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; 

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

 40 













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

Any supplemental indenture authorized by the provisions of this Section may be executed without the consent of the Holders of any of the
Securities then outstanding, notwithstanding any of the provisions of Section 7.02. 
 SECTION 7.02. With Consent of Holders.
Except as provided below in this Section 7.02, with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each series then outstanding affected by such supplemental indenture voting as one
class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with purchase of, or tender or exchange offers for, the Securities of such series), the Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution (which resolution may provide general terms
or parameters for such action and may provide that the specific terms of such action may be determined in accordance with or pursuant to an Officer’s Certificate), the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee may, from time to time and at any
time, amend this Indenture or enter into one or more supplemental indentures (which shall conform to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act as in force at the date of execution thereof) for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in
any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Securities of such series; and, subject to Sections 5.04 and 5.07, any existing Default
or Event of Default (other than an uncured Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal, premium or interest on the Securities of any series, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) and compliance
with any provision of the Indenture or the Securities of any series may be waived as to such series of Securities with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such series affected
by such waiver, voting as one class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender or exchange offer for, the Securities of such series); provided, however, that without the consent of each Holder
affected, an amendment or waiver under this Section 7.02 may not (but only with respect to any Securities of any series held by a non-consenting Holder): 

(a)    change the Stated Maturity of Securities of any series; 

(b)    reduce the aggregate principal amount of Securities of any series; 

(c)    reduce the rate or amend or modify the calculation, or time of payment, of interest, including
defaulted interest on the Securities of any series; 
 (d)    reduce or alter the method of computation
of any amount payable on redemption, prepayment or purchase of Securities of any series (or the time at which any such redemption, prepayment or purchase may be made) or otherwise alter or waive any of the provisions with respect to the redemption
of Securities of any series, or waive a redemption payment with respect to any Securities of any series; 

  
 41 













 (e)    make the principal thereof, or interest, thereon
payable in any coin or currency other than provided in the Securities of any series or in accordance with the terms of the Securities of any series, this Indenture and any supplemental indenture; 

(f)    impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on Securities of any series
when due, or otherwise make any change in the provisions of this Indenture or any supplemental indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders of Securities of any series to receive payments of principal of, or premium, if
any, or interest on the Securities of any series; 
 (g)    modify any of the provisions of this
Section 7.02, Section 5.04 or Section 4.08, except to increase the percentage in principal amount of Holders required under any such Section or to provide that certain other provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived
without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Security affected thereby, provided, however, that this clause (g) will not be deemed to require the consent of any Holder with respect to changes in the references to
“the Trustee” and concomitant changes in this Section 7.02, Section 5.04 and Section 4.08, or the deletion of this proviso, in accordance with the requirements of Section 6.08; 

(h)    reduce the percentage of principal amount of Securities of any series whose Holders must consent to
an amendment, supplement or waiver; 
 (i)    impair the rights of Holders of the Securities of any
series that are exchangeable or convertible to receive payment or delivery of any consideration due upon the conversion or exchange of the Securities of that series; or 

(j)    modify or amend any of the provisions of the Indenture or Securities of any series as may be set
forth in the supplemental indenture with respect to the Securities of that series as requiring the consent of each Holder affected thereby. 

The Holders of the Securities of any series affected thereby shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all
respects to such modifications and amendments, and all the terms and conditions of any such amendment, waiver or supplemental indenture shall be and shall be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes.

 Upon the request of the Company, accompanied by a copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors (which resolution may provide general
terms or parameters for such action and may provide that the specific terms of such action may be determined in accordance with or pursuant to an Officer’s Certificate) certified by the secretary or an assistant secretary of the Company
authorizing the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of the Holders of the Securities of any series as aforesaid, the Trustee shall join with the Company and the Subsidiary
Guarantors in the execution of such supplemental indenture unless such supplemental indenture affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may at its discretion, but shall
not be obligated to, enter into such supplemental indenture. 

  
 42 













 It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders of Securities of any series under
this Section 7.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. 

Promptly after the execution by the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 7.02, the Company (or the Trustee at the request and expense of the Company) shall give notice thereof to the Holders of the then outstanding Securities of any series affected thereby, as provided in
Section 14.02. Any failure of the Company to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture. 

SECTION 7.03. Effect of Supplemental Indenture. Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions hereof, or
any amendment to or waiver of the provisions of the Indenture, this Indenture shall be and shall be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith and the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities under
this Indenture of the Trustee, the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Holders shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments, and all the terms and conditions of
any such supplemental indenture, amendment or waiver shall be and shall be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes. 

SECTION 7.04. Conformity with Trust Indenture Act. Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Securities of any series
shall be set forth in an amended or supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article that shall conform to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect if this Indenture shall then be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act.

 SECTION 7.05. Notation on or Exchange of Securities. Securities authenticated and delivered after the execution of any
supplemental indenture, amendment or waiver pursuant to the provisions of this Article 7 may bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for by such supplemental indenture or as to any action taken by the Holders
of Securities of any series. If the Company or the Trustee shall so determine, new Securities of any series so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Company, to any modification of this Indenture contained in any such
supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, authenticated by the Trustee and delivered in exchange for the Securities of such series then outstanding. 

Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Security shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver. 

SECTION 7.06. Revocation and Effect of Consents. Until an amendment, waiver or a supplemental indenture becomes effective, a consent to
it by a Holder of a Security is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Security and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security, even if notation of the
consent is not made on any Security. However, any such Holder of a Security or subsequent Holder of a Security may revoke the consent as to its Security if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the waiver, supplement or
amendment becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder. 

  
 43 













 SECTION 7.07. Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc. The Trustee shall sign any amended or
supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 7 if the amendment or supplemental indenture does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, the
Trustee shall be provided with and (subject to Section 6.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 14.04, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the
execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture or any relevant supplemental indenture. 

ARTICLE 8. 
 CONSOLIDATION, MERGER
OR SALE OF ASSETS 
 SECTION 8.01. Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets. Neither the Company nor the Subsidiary Guarantors may
consolidate or merge with or into, or sell, lease or convey all or substantially all of its assets in any one transaction or series of related transactions to any other Person (other than a consolidation or merger of the Company and one or more
Subsidiary Guarantors or two or more Subsidiary Guarantors, or a sale, lease, conveyance, assignment, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to a Subsidiary Guarantor, a Subsidiary Guarantor to the
Company or of a Subsidiary Guarantor to another Subsidiary Guarantor), unless: 
 (a)    the resulting,
surviving or transferee corporation (the “successor”) is either the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, or is a corporation organized under the laws of the United States, any state or the District of Columbia and
expressly assumes by supplemental indenture all of the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and all the Securities; and 

(b)    immediately after giving effect to the transaction no Default or Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing. 
 SECTION 8.02. Successor Corporation Substituted. Upon any consolidation or merger of the Company or a Subsidiary
Guarantor, as the case may be, or any sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor in accordance with Section 8.01 (except in the case of a
lease of all or substantially all of the Company’s or such Subsidiary Guarantor’s assets), the successor corporation formed by such consolidation or into or with which the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor is merged or to which such
sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance or other disposition, the provisions of this Indenture
referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the successor corporation and not to the Company), and may exercise every right and power of the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, under this Indenture with the same
effect as if such successor Person had been named as the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, 

  
 44 













 
herein; provided, however, that the predecessor Company or Subsidiary Guarantor shall not be relieved from the obligation to pay the principal of and interest on the Securities of
any series except in the case of the Company’s or such Subsidiary Guarantor’s consolidation or merger with or into, or sale or conveyance of all of the Company’s or such Subsidiary Guarantor’s assets to, any other Person that
meets the requirements of Section 8.01. 
 ARTICLE 9. 

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES 

SECTION 9.01. Applicability of Article. Securities of any series which are redeemable before their Stated Maturity shall be redeemable
in accordance with their terms and (except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for Securities of any series) in accordance with this Article. 

SECTION 9.02. Selection of Securities to Be Redeemed. If less than all the Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall
select Securities to be redeemed as follows: 
 (a)    if the Securities to be redeemed are listed on any
national securities exchange, in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which such Securities are listed; or 

(b)    if the Securities to be redeemed are not listed on any national securities exchange, on a pro rata
basis (subject to the procedures of the Depositary) or, to the extent a pro rata basis is not permitted, by lot or in such other manner as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate. 

No Securities of $2,000 of principal amount or less will be redeemed in part. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this
Indenture that apply to Securities of a series called for redemption also apply to portions of Securities of such series called for redemption. 

Securities of a series called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption. 

SECTION 9.03. Notice of Redemption. At least 10 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Company shall mail or
cause to be mailed, by first class mail, a notice of redemption to each Holder of Securities of any series 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 Securities of such series or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 
 The notice shall
identify the Securities to be redeemed and shall state: 
  

	 	(1)	 the CUSIP and ISIN (if applicable) numbers; 



 

	 	(2)	 the redemption date; 



  
 45 














	 	(3)	 the redemption price; 



 

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



 

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



 

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


  

	 	(7)	 that interest, if any, on the Securities of such series or portions of them called for redemption shall cease
to accrue on and after the redemption date; 


  

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


  

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


 At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the
notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at its expense; provided, however, that the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least 45 days (or such shorter time as may be agreed to by the Trustee) prior to the
redemption date, an Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph. 

SECTION 9.04. Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 9.03, Securities of
any series called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price. 
 SECTION 9.05.

Subsidiary Guarantor in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest, if any, on all Securities of such series to be redeemed. 

If the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the redemption date, interest,
if any, on the Securities or the portions of the Securities called for redemption shall cease to accrue for as long as the Company has deposited with the Trustee or Paying Agent funds in satisfaction of the applicable redemption price. If a Security
is redeemed on or after a Regular Record Date but on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date, then any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Security was registered at the close of business on such
Regular Record Date. 

  
 46 













 SECTION 9.06. Securities Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender of any Security that is
redeemed in part, the Company shall issue and, upon the Company’s written request, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Company a new Security equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the
Security surrendered. If a Global Security is so surrendered, such new Security shall also be a Global Security. 
 ARTICLE 10. 

DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE 

SECTION 10.01. Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. Unless pursuant to Section 3.01 provision is made for the
inapplicability of either or both of (a) defeasance of the Securities of a series under Section 10.02 or (b) covenant defeasance of the Securities of a series under Section 10.03, then the provisions of such Section or Sections,
as the case may be, together with the other provisions of this Article, shall be applicable to the Securities of such series, and the Company may, at the option of its Board of Directors evidenced by a resolution set forth in an Officer’s
Certificate, at any time, elect to have either Section 10.02 or 10.03 be applied to all outstanding Securities of such series upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 10. 

SECTION 10.02. Legal Defeasance and Discharge. 

Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 10.01 of the option applicable to defease the outstanding Securities of a particular series
under this Section 20.02, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 10.04, be deemed to have been discharged from their respective obligations with respect to such
outstanding Securities on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor shall be deemed to have paid and
discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the outstanding Securities and the related Guarantees, if any, of such series, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 10.05 and the other
Sections of this Indenture referred to in (a) and (b) below, and to have satisfied all their respective other obligations under such Securities and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute
proper instruments provided to it acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: 

(a)    the rights of Holders of outstanding Securities of such series to receive payments in respect of the
principal amount, premium, if any, interest, if any, on such Securities when such payments are due from the trust referred to in Section 10.04; 

(b)    the Company’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ respective obligations, if any, with respect
to such Securities under Sections 3.06, 3.07, 3.08(a), 3.09, 3.11, 4.02 and 4.03; 

  
 47 













 (c)    the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities
of the Trustee and the Company’s obligations in connection therewith; and 
 (d)    this Article 10.

 Subject to compliance with this Article 10, the Company may exercise its option under this Section 10.02 notwithstanding the prior
exercise of its option under Section 10.03 with respect to the Securities of such series. 
 SECTION 10.03. Covenant Defeasance.
Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 10.01 of the option applicable to obtain a covenant defeasance with respect to the outstanding Securities of a particular series under this Section 10.03, the Company and the Subsidiary
Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 10.04, be released from their respective obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.04, 4.06 and 8.01 and the covenants contained in any
supplemental indenture applicable to such series, with respect to the outstanding Securities of such series on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 10.04 are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the
Securities of such series shall thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall
continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Securities shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the
outstanding Securities of such series, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by
reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default
under Section 5.01 with respect to outstanding Securities of such series, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and of the Securities of such series shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Company’s
exercise under Section 10.01 of the option applicable to this Section 10.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 10.04, Sections 5.01(d) and 5.01(e) shall not constitute Events of Default. 

SECTION 10.04. Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance. The following shall be the conditions to the application of either
Section 10.02 or Section 10.03 to the outstanding Securities of a particular series: 
 In order to exercise either Legal
Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance: 
 (a)    the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor must irrevocably
deposit or cause to be deposited with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, cash in United States dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in
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, interest, if any, on such outstanding Securities on the stated date for payment thereof or on
the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor shall specify whether such Securities are being defeased to maturity or to a particular redemption date; 

  
 48 













 (b)    in the case of an election under
Section 10.02, the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that: 

(i)    the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a
ruling; or 
 (ii)    since the Issue Date of the Securities of the applicable series, there has been a
change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel will confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding Securities 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; 

(c)    in the case of an election under Section 10.03, the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor has
delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Holders of the outstanding Securities 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; 

(d)    no Default or Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such series has occurred and is
continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit); 

(e)    such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall 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 or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is bound; 

(f)    the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that on the 91st
day following the deposit, the trust funds will not be subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally; 

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

  
 49 













 (h)    the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee
an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for or relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with. 

SECTION 10.05. Deposited Money and Government Securities to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. Subject to
Section 10.06, 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 10.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 10.04 in respect of the outstanding Securities of a particular series shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and
this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Securities of all sums due and to become due
thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

The Company shall 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 10.04 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge that by law is for the account of
the Holders of the outstanding Securities of such series. Anything in this Article 10 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall 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 10.04 with respect to the Securities of any series 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 10.04(a)), 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 10.06. Repayment to the Company or Subsidiary Guarantor. Any money deposited with the
Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any Security and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, and
premium, if any, or interest, if any, has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor on its request or (if then held by the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of
such Security shall thereafter look only to the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors 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 or such Subsidiary
Guarantor as trustee thereof, shall 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 shall 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 10.07. Reinstatement. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any
U.S. Dollars or non-callable Government Securities in accordance with Section 10.02 or 10.03, 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 obligations of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors under this Indenture and the Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to
Section 10.02 or 10.03 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 10.02 or 10.03, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Company or a Subsidiary
Guarantor makes any payment of principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on any Security following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, shall be subrogated to the rights of the
Holders of such Security to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 
 ARTICLE 11. 

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE 

SECTION 11.01. Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. This Indenture shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect with
respect to any series of Securities (except, as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer, exchange or conversion of Securities of such series herein expressly provided for or in the form of Security for such series and any rights to
receive payment of interest thereon), and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, when: 

(a)    either 

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

(ii)    all such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and
payable by reason of the mailing of a notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable within one year and the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor 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 such Securities not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for the principal amount and
premium, if any, plus accrued interest, if any, on all such Securities; 
 (b)    no Default or Event of
Default with respect to such Securities has occurred and is continuing on the date of the deposit or will occur as a result of the 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; 

  
 51 













 (c)    the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor has paid or
caused to be paid all sums payable under this Indenture and any applicable supplemental indenture with respect to such Securities; and 

(d)    the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under this Indenture and any
applicable supplemental indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of such Securities at Stated Maturity or the redemption date, as the case may be. 

In addition, the Company must deliver an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions
precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied. 
 Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money
has been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (ii) of clause (a) of this Section, the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 4.03, Section 10.06 and Section 11.02 shall survive. In addition, nothing in
this Section 11.01 shall be deemed to discharge the provisions of Section 6.07. 
 SECTION 11.02. Notices. Subject to the
provisions of the last paragraph of Section 4.03 and Section 10.06, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.01 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities 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, if any, and interest, if any,
for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 11.01 by reason of any
legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and such Securities shall be revived
and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 11.01; provided that if the Company has made any payment of principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on Securities of any series because of the
reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 

ARTICLE 12. 
 SUBORDINATION OF
SECURITIES 
 SECTION 12.01. Agreement to Subordinate. In the event a series of Securities is designated as subordinated pursuant to
Section 3.01, and except as otherwise provided in a Company Order, Officer’s Certificate or in one or more indentures supplemental hereto, the Company, for itself, its successors and assigns, covenants and agrees, and each Holder of


  
 52 













 
Securities of such series by his, her or its acceptance thereof, likewise covenants and agrees, that the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on each and all of the
Securities of such series is hereby expressly subordinated, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness. In the event a series of Securities is not designated as
subordinated pursuant to Section 3.01(t), this Article 12 shall have no effect upon such series of Securities. 
 SECTION 12.02.
Distribution on Dissolution, Liquidation and Reorganization; Subrogation of Securities. Subject to Section 12.01, upon any distribution of assets of the Company upon any dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization of the
Company, whether in bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or receivership proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of the Company or otherwise (subject to the power of a
court of competent jurisdiction to make other equitable provision reflecting the rights conferred in this Indenture upon the Senior Indebtedness and the holders thereof with respect to the Securities and the holders thereof by a lawful plan of
reorganization under any Bankruptcy Law): 
 (a)    the holders of all Senior Indebtedness shall be
entitled to receive payment in full of the principal, premium, if any, or interest thereon before the Holders of the Securities are entitled to receive any payment upon the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on Indebtedness evidenced by the
Securities; 
 (b)    any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character,
whether in cash, property or securities, to which the Holders of the Securities or the Trustee would be entitled except for the provisions of this Article 12 in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest, on the Securities shall be
paid by the liquidation trustee or agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, whether a trustee in bankruptcy, a receiver or liquidating trustee or otherwise, directly to the holders of Senior Indebtedness or their representative or
representatives or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture under which any instruments evidencing any of such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, ratably according to the aggregate amounts remaining unpaid on account of the principal
of, premium, if any, or interest on the Senior Indebtedness held or represented by each, to the extent necessary to make payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to
the holders of such Senior Indebtedness; and 
 (c)    in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing,
any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on Indebtedness evidenced by the Securities, whether in cash, property or securities prohibited by the
foregoing, shall be received by the Trustee or the Holders of the Securities before all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full, such payment or distribution shall be paid over, upon written notice to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, to the holder
of such Senior Indebtedness or his, her or its representative or representatives or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture under which any instrument evidencing any of such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, ratably as aforesaid, as
calculated by the Company, for application to payment of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid until all such Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of such
Senior Indebtedness. 

  
 53 













 Subject to the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness, the Holders of the Securities
shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness (to the extent that distributions otherwise payable to such holder have been applied to the payment of Senior Indebtedness) to receive payments or distributions of cash,
property or securities of the Company applicable to Senior Indebtedness until the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Securities shall be paid in full and no such payments or distributions to the Holders of the Securities of cash,
property or securities otherwise distributable to the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall, as between the Company, its creditors other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and the Holders of the Securities be deemed to be a payment by the
Company to or on account of the Securities. It is understood that the provisions of this Article 12 are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities, on the one hand, and the holders of the
Senior Indebtedness, on the other hand. Nothing contained in this Article 12 or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities is intended to or shall impair, as between the Company, its creditors other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and
the Holders of the Securities, the obligation of the Company, which is unconditional and absolute, to pay to the Holders of the Securities the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Securities as and when the same shall become due and
payable in accordance with their terms, or to affect the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities and creditors of the Company other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, nor shall anything herein or in the Securities prevent the Trustee
or the Holder of any Security from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article 12 of the holders of Senior Indebtedness in respect of cash,
property or securities of the Company received upon the exercise of any such remedy. Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article 12, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 12.05, shall be
entitled to conclusively rely upon a certificate of the liquidating trustee or agent or other person making any distribution to the Trustee for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of
Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereof and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article 12. 

SECTION 12.03. No Payment on Securities in Event of Default on Senior Indebtedness. Subject to Section 12.01, no payment by the
Company on account of principal (or premium, if any), sinking funds or interest, if any, on the Securities shall be made at any time if: (i) a default on Senior Indebtedness exists that permits the holders of such Senior Indebtedness to
accelerate its maturity and (ii) the default is the subject of judicial proceedings or the Company has received notice of such default. The Company may resume payments on the Securities when full payment of amounts then due for principal
(premium, if any), sinking funds and interest on Senior Indebtedness has been made or duly provided for in money or money’s worth. 

In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment shall be received by the Trustee when such payment is prohibited by the
preceding paragraph of this Section 12.03, such payment shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered to, the holders of such Senior Indebtedness or their respective representatives, or to the trustee or
trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any of such Senior Indebtedness may have been 

  
 54 













 
issued, as their respective interests may appear, as calculated by the Company, but only to the extent that the holders of such Senior Indebtedness (or their representative or representatives or
a trustee) notify the Trustee in writing within 90 calendar days of such payment of the amounts then due and owing on such Senior Indebtedness and only the amounts specified in such notice to the Trustee shall be paid to the holders of such Senior
Indebtedness. 
 SECTION 12.04. Payments on Securities Permitted. Subject to Section 12.01, nothing contained in this Indenture
or in any of the Securities shall (a) affect the obligation of the Company to make, or prevent the Company from making, at any time except as provided in Sections 12.02 and 12.03, payments of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if
any, on the Securities or (b) prevent the application by the Trustee of any moneys or assets deposited with it hereunder to the payment of or on account of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Securities, unless a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee shall have received at its Corporate Trust Office written notice of any fact prohibiting the making of such payment from the Company or from the holder of any Senior Indebtedness or from the trustee for any such holder,
together with proof satisfactory to the Trustee of such holding of Senior Indebtedness or of the authority of such trustee, more than two Business Days prior to the date fixed for such payment. 

SECTION 12.05. Authorization of Securityholders to Trustee to Effect Subordination. Subject to Section 12.01, each Holder of
Securities by his acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee on his, her or its behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination as provided in this Article 12 and appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. 
 SECTION 12.06.
Notices to Trustee. The Company shall give prompt written notice to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee of any fact known to the Company that would prohibit the making of any payment of moneys or assets to or by the Trustee in respect of the
Securities of any series pursuant to the provisions of this Article 12. Subject to Section 12.01, notwithstanding the provisions of this Article 12 or any other provisions of this Indenture, neither the Trustee nor any Paying Agent (other than
the Company) shall be charged with knowledge of the existence of any Senior Indebtedness or of any fact which would prohibit the making of any payment of moneys or assets to or by the Trustee or such Paying Agent, unless and until a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall have received (in the case of a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee) written notice thereof from the Company or from the holder of any Senior Indebtedness
or from the trustee for any such holder, together with proof satisfactory to the Trustee of such holding of Senior Indebtedness or of the authority of such trustee, and, prior to the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee shall be entitled
in all respects conclusively to presume that no such facts exist; provided, however, that if at least two Business Days prior to the date upon which by the terms hereof any such moneys or assets may become payable for any purpose
(including, without limitation, the payment of either the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Security) a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall not have received with respect to such moneys or assets the notice provided for in this
Section 12.06, then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such moneys or assets and to apply the same to the purpose for which they were received, and shall not be
affected by any notice to the contrary which may be received by it within two Business Days prior to such date. The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the delivery to it of 

  
 55 













 
a written notice by a Person representing himself to be a holder of Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee on behalf of such holder) to establish that such a notice has been given by a holder of
Senior Indebtedness or a trustee on behalf of any such holder. In the event that the Trustee determines in good faith that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Senior Indebtedness to participate in any
payment or distribution pursuant to this Article 12, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Senior Indebtedness held by such Person, the extent to which such Person
is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article 12 and, if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial
determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment. 
 SECTION 12.07. Trustee as Holder of Senior Indebtedness.
Subject to Section 12.01, the Trustee in its individual capacity shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article 12 in respect of any Senior Indebtedness at any time held by it to the same extent as any other holder of Senior
Indebtedness and nothing in this Indenture shall be construed to deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder. Nothing in this Article 12 shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Sections 5.10 or 6.07.

 SECTION 12.08. Modifications of Terms of Senior Indebtedness. Subject to Section 12.01, any renewal or extension of the time
of payment of any Senior Indebtedness or the exercise by the holders of Senior Indebtedness of any of their rights under any instrument creating or evidencing Senior Indebtedness, including, without limitation, the waiver of default thereunder, may
be made or done all without notice to or assent from the Holders of the Securities or the Trustee. No compromise, alteration, amendment, modification, extension, renewal or other change of, or waiver, consent or other action in respect of, any
liability or obligation under or in respect of, or of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of any indenture or other instrument under which any Senior Indebtedness is Outstanding or of such Senior Indebtedness, whether or not such release is in
accordance with the provisions of any applicable document, shall in any way alter or affect any of the provisions of this Article 12 or of the Securities relating to the subordination thereof. 

SECTION 12.09. Reliance on Judicial Order or Certificate of Liquidating Agent. Subject to Section 12.01, upon any payment or
distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article 12, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon any order or decree entered by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such
insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution, winding up or similar case or proceeding is pending, or a certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, custodian, receiver, assignee for the benefit of
creditors, agent or other person making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities, for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of
Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article 12. 

SECTION 12.10. Satisfaction and Discharge; Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance. Subject to Section 12.01, moneys and Government
Securities deposited in trust with the Trustee pursuant to and in accordance with Article 10 and not, at the time of such deposit, prohibited to be deposited under Sections 12.02 or 12.03 shall not be subject to this Article 12. 

  
 56 













 SECTION 12.11. Trustee Not Fiduciary for Holders of Senior Indebtedness. With respect
to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, the Trustee undertakes to perform or observe only such of its covenants and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Article 12, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of
Senior Indebtedness shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness. The Trustee shall not be liable to any such holder if it shall pay over or
distribute to or on behalf of Holders of Securities or the Company, or any other Person, moneys or assets to which any holder of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this Article 12 or otherwise. 

ARTICLE 13. 
 [GUARANTEE 

SECTION 13.01. Guarantee. 

(a)    Notwithstanding any provision of this Article 13 to the contrary, the provisions of this Article 13
relating to the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be applicable only to, and inure solely to the benefit of, the Securities of any series designated, pursuant to Section 3.01, as entitled to the benefits of the related Guarantee of each of the
Subsidiary Guarantors. 
 (b)    For value received, each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby fully,
unconditionally and absolutely guarantees (each, a “Guarantee”) to the Holders and to the Trustee the due and punctual payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on the Securities and all other amounts due and payable
under this Indenture and the Securities by the Company, when and as such principal, premium, if any, and interest shall become due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity or by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise,
according to the terms of the Securities and this Indenture, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 13.02. 

(c)    Failing payment when due of any amount guaranteed pursuant to the related Guarantee, for whatever
reason, each of the Subsidiary Guarantors will be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each of the Guarantees hereunder is intended to be a general, unsecured, unsubordinated obligation of the related Subsidiary Guarantor and
will rank pari passu in right of payment with all Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor that is not, by its terms, expressly subordinated in right of payment to such Guarantee. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agrees that its
obligations hereunder shall be full, unconditional and absolute, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Securities, its Guarantee, the Guarantee of any other Subsidiary Guarantor or this Indenture, the absence of any
action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Securities with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor, or any action to enforce the same or any
other circumstances 

  
 57 













 
which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of the Subsidiary Guarantors. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agrees that in the event of a default in payment
of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on the Securities of such series, whether at the Stated Maturity or by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, legal proceedings may be instituted by the Trustee on behalf
of the Holders or, subject to Section 5.06, by the Holders, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Indenture, directly against such Subsidiary Guarantor to enforce such Guarantee without first proceeding against the Company or any other
Subsidiary Guarantor. 
 (d)    The obligations of each of the Subsidiary Guarantors under this Article
13 shall be as aforesaid full, unconditional and absolute and shall not be impaired, modified, released or limited by any occurrence or condition whatsoever, including, without limitation, (i) any compromise, settlement, release, waiver,
renewal, extension, indulgence or modification of, or any change in, any of the obligations and liabilities of the Company or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors contained in the Securities or this Indenture, (ii) any impairment, modification,
release or limitation of the liability of the Company, any of the Subsidiary Guarantors or any of their estates in bankruptcy, or any remedy for the enforcement thereof, resulting from the operation of any present or future provision of any
applicable Bankruptcy Law, as amended, or other statute or from the decision of any court, (iii) the assertion or exercise by the Company, any of the Subsidiary Guarantors or the Trustee of any rights or remedies under the Securities or this
Indenture or their delay in or failure to assert or exercise any such rights or remedies, (iv) the assignment or the purported assignment of any property as security for the Securities, including all or any part of the rights of the Company or
any of the Subsidiary Guarantors under this Indenture, (v) the extension of the time for payment by the Company or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors of any payments or other sums or any part thereof owing or payable under any of the terms and
provisions of the Securities or this Indenture or of the time for performance by the Company or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors of any other obligations under or arising out of any such terms and provisions or the extension or the renewal of any
thereof, (vi) the modification or amendment (whether material or otherwise) of any duty, agreement or obligation of the Company or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors set forth in this Indenture, (vii) the voluntary or involuntary
liquidation, dissolution, sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets, marshaling of assets and liabilities, receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization, arrangement,
composition or readjustment of, or other similar proceeding affecting, the Company or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors or any of their respective assets, or the disaffirmance of the Securities, the Guarantee or this Indenture in any such proceeding,
(viii) the release or discharge of the Company or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors from the performance or observance of any agreement, covenant, term or condition contained in any of such instruments by operation of law, (ix) the
unenforceability of the Securities of such series, the related Guarantees or this Indenture or (x) any other circumstances (other than payment in full or discharge of all amounts guaranteed pursuant to the related Guarantees) which might
otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor. 

  
 58 













 (e)    Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby
(i) waives, to the extent permitted by law, diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of the merger, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors, and all demands
whatsoever, (ii) acknowledges that any agreement, instrument or document evidencing its Guarantee may be transferred and that the benefit of its obligations hereunder shall extend to each holder of any agreement, instrument or document
evidencing its Guarantee without notice to it and (iii) covenants that its Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of such Guarantee. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors further agrees that if at any time all or any part
of any payment theretofore applied by any Person to its Guarantee is, or must be, rescinded or returned for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or any of the Subsidiary
Guarantors, such Guarantee shall, to the extent that such payment is or must be rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence notwithstanding such application, and such Guarantee shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as
the case may be, as though such application had not been made. 
 (f)    Each of the Subsidiary
Guarantors shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holders and the Trustee against the Company in respect of any amounts paid by such Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture; provided, however, that such Subsidiary
Guarantor, shall not be entitled to enforce or to receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until all of the Securities of such series and the related Guarantees shall have been paid in full or discharged. 

SECTION 13.02. Limitation on Liability of the Subsidiary Guarantors. Each Subsidiary Guarantor and by its acceptance hereof each
Holder of a Security of a series entitled to the benefits of a Guarantee under this Article 13 hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the guarantee by such Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to its Guarantee not constitute a
fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of any federal or state law. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Holders of a Security entitled to the benefits of such Guarantee and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the
obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor under its Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor and to any collections from or payments made
by or on behalf of any other Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Subsidiary Guarantor under its Guarantee, result in the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent
conveyance or fraudulent transfer under federal or state law. 
 SECTION 13.03. Release of Subsidiary Guarantors from Guarantee. 

(a)    Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, the Guarantee of a Subsidiary Guarantor may
be released upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 13.03. Provided that no Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under this Indenture, any Guarantee incurred by a Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to
this Article 13 shall be unconditionally released and discharged (i) automatically upon (A) any sale, exchange or transfer, whether by way of merger or 

  
 59 













 
otherwise, to any Person that is not an Affiliate of the Company, of all of the Company’s direct or indirect equity interests in such Subsidiary Guarantor (provided such sale, exchange or
transfer is not prohibited by this Indenture) or (B) the merger of such Subsidiary Guarantor into the Company or any other Subsidiary Guarantor or the liquidation and dissolution of such Subsidiary Guarantor (in each case to the extent not
prohibited by this Indenture) or (ii) following delivery of a written notice of such release or discharge by the Company to the Trustee, upon the release or discharge of all guarantees by such Subsidiary Guarantor of any Indebtedness of the
Company other than obligations arising under this Indenture and any Securities issued hereunder, except a discharge or release by or as a result of payment under such guarantees. 

(b)    The Trustee shall deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing any release of a Subsidiary Guarantor
from its Guarantee upon receipt of a written request of the Company accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel that the Subsidiary Guarantor is entitled to such release in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.
If the Subsidiary Guarantor is not so released it shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest on the Securities entitled to the benefits of such Guarantee as provided in this Indenture, subject to
the limitations of Section 13.02. 
 SECTION 13.04. Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution
among the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agree, inter se, that in the event any payment or distribution is made by a Subsidiary Guarantor (a “Funding Guarantor”) under its Guarantee, such Funding Guarantor
shall be entitled to a contribution from each other Subsidiary Guarantor (as applicable) in a pro rata amount based on the net assets of each Subsidiary Guarantor (including the Funding Guarantor) for all payments, damages and expenses incurred by
that Funding Guarantor in discharging the Company’s obligations with respect to the Securities of a series entitled to the benefits of a Guarantee under this Article 13 or any other Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations with respect to its
Guarantee of such series of Securities.]

applicable, of any series, this Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of
