all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with and an Opinion of Counsel stating that in the opinion of such counsel all such conditions precedent, if any, have been complied
with, except that in the case of any such application or request as to which the furnishing of such documents is specifically required by any provision of this Indenture relating to such particular application or request, no additional certificate
or opinion need be furnished (subject in all cases to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act). 
 Every certificate or opinion with
respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture (other than certificates provided pursuant to Subsection Section 7.04(a)(iv)) shall include: 

(a) a statement that each individual signing such certificate or opinion has read such condition or covenant and the definitions herein
relating thereto; 

  
 7 








 (b) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation upon which
the statements or opinions contained in such certificate or opinion are based; 
 (c) a statement that, in the opinion of each such
individual, he has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable him to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such condition or covenant has been complied with; and 

(d) a statement as to whether, in the opinion of each such individual, such condition or covenant has been complied with. 

Section 1.03. Form of Documents Delivered to Trustee. In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or
covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may
certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents. 

Any Officer’s Certificate may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by,
counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. 

Any Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an
Authorized Officer or Authorized Officers of the Company stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Company, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the
certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous. 
 Any Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of
Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to accounting matters, upon a certificate or opinion of or representations by an accountant or firm of accountants in the employ of the Company or otherwise, unless such officer or counsel, as the case may
be, knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the accounting matters upon which such certificate or opinion may be based are erroneous. 

Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or
other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument. 
 Section 1.04. Acts of
Holders. (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially
similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by agent duly appointed in writing, or in a writing that constitutes a record of any meeting of Holders of Securities pursuant to 

  
 8 








 
Article 13. Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments or record, or both, are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is
hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such instrument or instruments and any such record (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such
instrument or instruments or so voting at any such meeting. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent or proxy, or of the holding by any Person of a Security, shall be sufficient for any purpose of this
Indenture and (subject to Section 6.01) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company and any agent of the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section. The record of any meeting of Holders of Securities shall be proved in the
manner provided in Section 13.06. 
 (b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be
proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of any notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to
him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by an officer of a corporation or association or a member of a partnership, or an official of a public or governmental body, on behalf of such corporation, association, partnership or public or
governmental body or by a fiduciary, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing
the same, may also be proved in any other manner which shall be satisfactory to the Trustee. 
 (c) The ownership of Securities shall be
proved by the Security Register. 
 (d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Holder
of any Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Security and the Holder of every Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done or suffered to be done by
the Trustee or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security. 
 (e) The Company may,
but shall not be obligated to, set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities entitled to give, make or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action
provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given, made or taken by Holders of Securities, provided that the Company may not set a record date for, and the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply with respect to, the giving or making
of any notice, declaration, request or direction referred to in the next paragraph. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to take the
relevant action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date (as defined below) by Holders of the
requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Company from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been


  
 9 








 
set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall
be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Company, at its own
expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Trustee in writing and to each Holder of Securities in the manner set forth in Section 1.06. 

(f) The Trustee may set (but shall not be obligated to set) any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding
Securities entitled to join in the giving or making of (i) any Notice of Default, (ii) any declaration of acceleration referred to in Section 5.02, (iii) any request to institute proceedings referred to in Section 5.07(b) or
(iv) any direction referred to in Section 5.12. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to join in such notice, declaration,
request or direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite
principal amount of Outstanding Securities on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Trustee from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this
paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the
requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee, at the Company’s expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed
action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Company in writing and to each Holder of Securities in the manner set forth in Section 1.06. 

(g) With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto which sets such record dates may designate any day as the
“Expiration Date” and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any earlier or later day; provided that no such change shall be effective unless notice of the proposed new Expiration Date is given to the other party hereto
in writing, and to each Holder of Securities in the manner set forth in Section 1.06, on or prior to the existing Expiration Date. If an Expiration Date is not designated with respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party
hereto which set such record date shall be deemed to have initially designated the 180th day after such record date as the Expiration Date with respect thereto, subject to its right to change the Expiration Date as provided in this paragraph.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Expiration Date shall be later than the 180th day after the applicable record date. 
 Without limiting
the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to take any action hereunder with regard to any particular Security may do so with regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such Security or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which
may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such principal amount.

 Section 1.05. Notices, Etc., to Trustee and Company. Any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with, 

(a) the Trustee, Security Registrar and Paying Agent by any Holder or by the Company shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made,
given, furnished or filed in writing in English to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, which, as of the date of this Indenture, is: Wilmington Trust, National Association, 50 South Sixth Street, Suite 1290, Minneapolis, Minnesota
55402 Attn: Cobalt International Energy, Inc. Administrator, Fax: (612) 217-5651; or 
 (b) the Company by the Trustee or by any Holder
shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Company addressed to it at the address of its principal office specified in the first
paragraph of this instrument, to the attention of the Treasurer or at any other address furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company prior to the date of such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders
or other document. 
 Neither the Company nor the Trustee shall be deemed to have received any such notice, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders unless given, furnished or filed as provided in this Section 1.05. 

Section 1.06. Notice to Holders; Waiver. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, where this Indenture provides for notice
to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given to Holders of Securities if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of a Security affected by such event, at his address as it appears in the Security
Register, or in the case of a Global Security, sent in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. 

If, by reason of the suspension of regular mail service, it shall be impracticable to mail notice of any event to Holders of Securities when
such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then such manner of giving such notice as shall be acceptable to the Trustee shall constitute sufficient giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders of
Securities is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder of a Security shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders of Securities. 

Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice,
either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in
reliance upon such waiver. 

  
 11 








 Section 1.07. Language of Notices, Etc. Any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver, Act of Holders or other document required or permitted under this Indenture shall be in the English language. 

Section 1.08. Conflict With Trust Indenture Act. If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with any obligation or
requirement included or deemed included herein by operation of the Trust Indenture Act, such obligation or requirement of the Trust Indenture Act shall control. 

Section 1.09. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for
convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof. 
 Section 1.10. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and
agreements in this Indenture and the Securities by the Company shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. 

Section 1.11. Separability Clause. In case any provision in this Indenture or the Securities shall be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 

Section 1.12. Benefits of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture or the Securities, expressed or implied, shall give to any Person,
other than the parties hereto, their successors hereunder and the Holders of Securities, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture. 

Section 1.13. Governing Law. This Indenture and the Securities shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
the State of New York. This Indenture is also subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act that are required to be part of this Indenture and shall, to the extent applicable, be governed by such provisions. 

Section 1.14. Legal Holidays. In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity or Maturity of any
Security shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the Securities other than a provision in the Securities of any series which specifically states that such provision shall
apply in lieu of this Section) payment of principal (and premium, if any) or interest, if any, need not be made at such Place of Payment on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment with the same force
and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date, or at the Stated Maturity or Maturity, provided that no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption
Date, Stated Maturity or Maturity, as the case may be.

 Section 1.15. Computations. Unless otherwise specifically provided, the certificate
or opinion of any independent firm of public accountants of recognized standing selected by the Board of Directors shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of any computation made under the provisions of this Indenture. The Company shall
furnish to the Trustee upon its request a copy of any such certificate or opinion. 
 Section 1.16. Waiver of Jury Trial. Each
of the Company, the Trustee, the Securities Registrar and the Paying Agent hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Indenture or the Securities.

Certificate referred to above or in any such indenture supplemental hereto. All Securities of one series need not be issued at the same time and, unless otherwise provided, a series may be reopened for issuances of additional Securities of such
series; provided that if such additional Securities are not fungible with the then-outstanding Securities of such series for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the additional Securities shall have a separate CUSIP number, subject to
Section 3.11. Securities may differ between series in respect of any matters. 
 If any of the terms of the Securities of any series
are established by action taken by or pursuant to a Board Resolution or Officer’s Certificate pursuant to authority granted by a 

  
 16 








 
Board Resolution, a copy of an appropriate record of such action shall be certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company and delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the
delivery of the Officer’s Certificate setting forth the terms of the Securities of such series. 
 Section 3.02.
Denominations. The Securities of each series shall be in registered form without coupons and shall be issuable in denominations of $2,000 and any higher integral multiples of $1,000, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 3.01. 
 Section 3.03. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. The Securities shall be executed on behalf
of the Company by an Authorized Officer (or any Person designated in writing by an Authorized Officer as authorized to execute the Securities). The signature of any of these officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile. 

Securities bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the
Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities. 

At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series
executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with the Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. If
any Security shall be represented by a permanent global Security, then, for purposes of this Section and Section 3.04, the notation of a beneficial owner’s interest therein upon original issuance of such Security or upon exchange of a
portion of a temporary global Security shall be deemed to be delivery in connection with its original issuance of such beneficial owner’s interest in such permanent global Security. 

If the forms or terms of the Securities of the series have been established in or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions or pursuant to
authority granted by one or more Board Resolutions as permitted by Sections 2.01 and 3.01, in authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall
be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 6.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating, 
 (a)
if the forms of such Securities have been established by or pursuant to a Board Resolution or pursuant to authority granted to an Authorized Officer by a Board Resolution as permitted by Section 2.01, that such forms have been established in
conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; 
 (b) if the terms of such Securities have been established by or pursuant to a Board
Resolution or pursuant to authority granted to an Authorized Officer by a Board Resolution as permitted by Section 3.01, that such terms have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and 

  
 17 








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

If such forms or terms have been so established, the Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Securities if the issue of such
Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or will otherwise affect the Trustee in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. The
Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Securities under this Section if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith shall determine
that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability to existing Holders. 
 Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.01
and of the preceding paragraph, if all Securities of a series are not to be originally issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver the Officer’s Certificate, Board Resolution or supplemental indenture otherwise required pursuant to
Section 3.01 or the Company Order and Opinion of Counsel otherwise required pursuant to such preceding paragraph at or prior to the time of authentication of each Security of such series if such documents are delivered at or prior to the
authentication upon original issuance of the first Security of such series to be issued. 
 A Company Order delivered in the circumstances
set forth in the preceding paragraph may provide that Securities which are the subject thereof will be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee on original issue from time to time upon the written order of persons designated in such Company Order
and that such persons are authorized to determine, consistent with the Board Resolution or Officer’s Certificate referred to in Section 3.01 or any applicable supplemental indenture, such terms and conditions of said Securities as are
specified in such Company Order, provided the foregoing procedure is acceptable to the Trustee. 
 Each Security shall be dated the date of
its authentication. 
 No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless
there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence,
that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that such Security is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. 

Minor typographical and other minor errors in the text of any Security shall not affect the validity and enforceability of such Security if it
has been duly authenticated and delivered by the Trustee. 

  
 18 








 Except in the case of Securities of any series as to which it is specified, as contemplated by
Section 3.01, that such Securities shall be issued initially in definitive certificated form, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver one or more Global Securities with respect to each series of Securities that
(i) shall represent an aggregate amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the initially issued Securities of such series, (ii) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary, (iii) shall be
delivered by the Trustee to the Depositary or pursuant to the Depositary’s instruction, (iv) shall bear a legend substantially in the form required in Section 2.03 and (v) shall bear such other legends or endorsements as
contemplated by Section 2.01. Neither the Trustee nor any agent shall have any responsibility or liability for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary. 

Section 3.04. Temporary Securities. Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and
upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive
Securities in lieu of which they are issued, in registered form and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such
Securities. 
 If temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause definitive securities of that series to be prepared
without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities of such series, the temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities of such series upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such
series at the office or agency of the Company maintained pursuant to Section 10.02 in a Place of Payment for that series, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any series, the
Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series and of like tenor of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged the temporary
Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series. 

Section 3.05. Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange. The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust
Office of the Trustee a register (the register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency to be maintained by the Company in accordance with Section 10.02 being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the “Security
Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Securities and of transfers and exchanges of Securities. The Trustee is hereby appointed “Security
Registrar” for the purpose of registering Securities and transfers of Securities as herein provided. 
 Upon surrender for
registration of transfer of any Security of any series at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 10.02 for such purpose in a Place of Payment for that series, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate


  
 19 








 
and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and
tenor. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for the definitive
Securities represented thereby, a Global Security representing all or a portion of the Securities may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of such Depositary, or by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or
another nominee of such Depositary, or by such Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or nominee of such successor Depositary. 

At the option of the Holder, Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Securities of the same series, of any authorized
denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 
 If at any time the Depositary
notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary or if at any time the Depositary shall cease to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act as provided in Section 3.03, the Company shall appoint a
successor Depositary. If a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order
for the authentication and delivery of definitive Securities, will authenticate and make available for delivery, definitive Securities in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security or Securities representing
the Securities in exchange for such Global Security or Securities. 
 The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that
definitive Securities issued in the form of one or more Global Securities shall no longer be represented by such Global Security or 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, will authenticate and make available for delivery, definitive Securities in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security or Securities representing the
Securities in exchange for such Global Security or Securities. 
 The Depositary may surrender a Global Security in exchange in whole or in
part for definitive Securities on such terms as are acceptable to the Company, the Trustee and such Depositary. Thereupon, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, without service charge: 

(a) to each Person specified by such Depositary a new definitive Security or Securities of any authorized denomination as requested by such
Person in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for such Person’s beneficial interest in the Global Security; and 

  
 20 








 (b) to such Depositary a new Global Security in a denomination equal to the difference, if any,
between the principal amount of the surrendered Global Security and the aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities delivered to Holders thereof. 

Upon the exchange of a Global Security for definitive Securities in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global
Security, such Global Security shall be canceled by the Trustee in accordance with its applicable procedures. Definitive Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security pursuant to this Section shall be registered in such names and in such
authorized denominations as the Depositary for such Global Security, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall make available for delivery such definitive Securities
to the Persons in whose names such Securities are so registered. 
 All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of
Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 

Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Security
Registrar) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. The Company and the
Trustee shall be entitled to request an opinion of counsel providing that the transfer complies with applicable securities laws. 
 No
service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company or the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that may be imposed
in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Sections 3.04, 9.06 or 11.07 or Article 12 not involving any transfer. 

Neither the Company nor the Trustee shall be required, pursuant to the provisions of this Section: (i) to issue, register the transfer of
or exchange any Security of any series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 Business Days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of any such Securities selected for redemption of Securities pursuant to Article
Eleven and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing of notice of redemption; or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except, in the case of any Security to
be redeemed in part, any portion thereof that is not redeemed. 
 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 

  
 21 








 
applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Security (including any transfers between or among Depositary participants 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. 
 None of the Trustee, the Security Registrar or the Paying Agent
shall have any responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of an interest in a Global Security, any agent member or other member of, or a participant in, the Depositary or other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the
Depositary or any nominee or participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Securities or with respect to the delivery to any agent member or other participant, member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than the
Depositary) of any notice or the payment of any amount or delivery of any Securities (or other security or property) under or with respect to such Securities. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to
Holders in respect of the Securities shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered Securities (which shall be the Depositary or its nominee in the case of a Global Security). The rights of beneficial owners in any Global
Security shall be exercised only through the Depositary, subject to its applicable rules and procedures. The Trustee, Security Registrar and Paying Agent may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depositary
with respect to its agent members and other members, participants and any beneficial owners. 
 Section 3.06. Mutilated, Destroyed,
Lost and Stolen Securities. If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, together with such security or indemnity as may be required by the Company or the Trustee, to save each of them harmless, the Company shall execute, and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor, a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 

If there shall have been delivered to the Company and the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of
any Security, and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them, including an indemnity bond satisfactory to them, to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has
been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon receipt of a Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same series and of like
tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 
 In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security. 

Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the Company or the Trustee 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. 

  
 22 








 Every new Security of any series issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost
or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and any such new Security shall be entitled to all
the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of that series duly issued hereunder. 
 The
provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities. 

Section 3.07. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved. Interest on any Security of any series which is payable, and is
timely paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest in
respect of Securities of such series. The initial payment of interest on any Security of any series which is issued between a Regular Record Date and the related Interest Payment Date shall be payable as provided in such Security or in the Board
Resolution or Officer’s Certificate pursuant to Section 3.01 with respect to the related series of Securities. 
 Any interest on
any Security which is payable, but is not timely paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date for Securities of such series (herein called “Defaulted Interest”), shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the
relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (a) or (b) below: 

(a) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series in respect of
which interest is in default (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall
notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security of such series and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to
the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the
benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as provided in this clause. Thereupon the Company shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days
prior to the date of the proposed payment. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, the Company shall instruct the Trustee to cause notice of the
proposed payment of such 

  
 23 








 
Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first class, postage prepaid, to each Holder of a Security of such series at the address of such Holder as it appears in the
Security Register not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date or, in the case of a Global Security, to be sent in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and
the Special Record Date therefor having been so sent, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such
Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (b). 
 (b) The Company may make payment of any
Defaulted Interest on the Securities of any series in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities of the series in respect of which interest is in default may be listed, and upon
such notice as may be required by such exchange (or by the Trustee if the Securities are not listed), if, after written notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be
deemed practicable by the Trustee. 
 Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section and Section 3.05, each Security delivered
under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security. 

The Trustee shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder to determine the Defaulted Interest or with respect to the
nature, extent, or calculation of the amount of Defaulted Interest owed, or with respect to the method employed in such calculation of the Defaulted Interest. 

Section 3.08. Persons Deemed Owners. The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in
whose name such Security is registered in the Securities Register as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Sections 3.05 and 3.07) interest, if any, on such Security and
for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

None of the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the
records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Security or maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. 

Section 3.09. Cancellation. All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange or for credit
against any sinking fund payment shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and such Securities shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for
cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and 

  
 24 








 
delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated
in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Securities held by the Trustee shall be cancelled by the Trustee in accordance with its customary
procedures. 
 Section 3.10. Computation of Interest. Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for the
Securities of any series, interest, if any, on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 

Section 3.11. CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and,
if so, the Trustee shall use the “CUSIP” number for the Securities in notices to the Holders as a convenience to such Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such
numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such notice shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of
such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any changes in the “CUSIP” numbers. 
 ARTICLE 4 

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE 

Section 4.01. Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. This Indenture shall upon Company Request cease to be of further effect
with respect to any series of Securities (except as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of Securities of such series herein expressly provided for or in the form of Security for such series and any right to receive
additional amounts, as provided in Section 10.07), and the Trustee, per the instruction in the Company Request and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as to
such series, when 
 (a) either 

(i) all Securities of such series theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (i) Securities which have been
destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 3.06 and (ii) Securities for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter
repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 10.03) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or 

(ii) all such Securities of such series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation 

  
 25 








 (A) have become due and payable, or 

(B) will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year of the date of deposit, or 

(C) are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of
redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company, 
 and the Company, in the case of (A), (B) or (C) above, has deposited or caused
to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for the purpose an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal (and premium, if
any) and interest, if any, to the date of such deposit (in the case of Securities which have become due and payable), or to the Stated Maturity or the Redemption Date, as the case may be; 

(b) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company with respect to such series; and 

(c) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that, with respect to such
series, all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with. 

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to such series, the obligations of the Company to the Trustee
with respect to such series under this Section 4.01 and Section 6.07, the obligations of the Company to any Authenticating Agent under Section 6.14, and, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (ii)
of clause (a) of this Section, the obligations of the Trustee under Section 4.02 and the last paragraph of Section 10.03, shall survive. 

Section 4.02. Application of Trust Money. Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 10.03, all money
deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.01, all money and U.S. Government Obligations deposited with the Trustee (or a successor trustee satisfying the requirements of Section 6.09) pursuant to Section 4.03 and all money
received by the Trustee in respect of U.S. Government Obligations deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.03 shall be held in trust and shall be applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the series of Securities and this
Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if
any, on the Securities for which payment of such money has been deposited with the Trustee or to make mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments as contemplated by Section 4.03. 

Section 4.03. Discharge and Defeasance of Securities of Any Series. If this Section 4.03 is specified, as contemplated by
Section 3.01, to be applicable to the Securities of any series, then, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.01, the 

  
 26 








 
Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness on all the Outstanding Securities of any such series on the date of the deposit referred to in subparagraph
(i) hereof, and the provisions of this Indenture, as it relates to such Outstanding Securities, shall no longer be in effect (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall, upon Company Request execute proper instruments acknowledging
the same), except as to: 
 (a) the rights of Holders of Securities of such series to receive, from the trust funds described in
subparagraph (i) hereof, (i) payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and each installment of principal of (and premium, if any) or interest, if any, on the Outstanding Securities of such series on the Stated Maturity of such
principal or installment of principal or interest and (ii) any mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments applicable to the Securities of such series on the day on which such payments are due and payable in accordance with the terms
of this Indenture and such Securities; and 
 (b) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder with respect to
such series, including those set forth in Section 6.07; and 
 (c) either (i) if this Section 4.03(c)(i) is specified, as
contemplated by Section 3.01, to be applicable to the Securities of any series, the Company’s obligations with respect to the Securities of such series under Sections 3.04, 3.05, 3.06, 10.02 and 10.03; or, alternatively, (ii) if this
Section 4.03(c)(ii) is specified, as contemplated by Section 3.01, to be applicable to the Securities of any series, the Company’s obligations with respect to such Securities under Sections 3.04, 3.05, 3.06, 10.01, 10.02 and 10.03;

 provided that, the following conditions shall have been satisfied: 

(i) the Company shall have irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited (in accordance with Section 4.02) with the
Trustee (or another trustee satisfying the requirements of Section 6.09) as trust funds in trust specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of that series, with reference to this
Section 4.03 (1) money in an amount, or (2) U.S. Government Obligations which through the payment of interest and principal in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide not later than one Business Day before the due
date of any payment referred to in clause (A) or (B) of this subparagraph (i) money in an amount, or (3) a combination thereof, sufficient to pay and discharge (A) the principal of (and premium, if any) and each installment
of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on the Outstanding Securities of such series on the Stated Maturity of such principal or installment of principal or interest or on the applicable Redemption Date and (B) any mandatory
sinking fund payments or analogous payments applicable to the Securities of such series on the day on which such payments are due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and of such Securities; 

  
 27 








 (ii) such deposit shall not cause the Trustee with respect to the Securities of
such series to have a conflicting interest as defined in Section 6.08 or for purposes of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to the Securities of any series; 

(iii) if this subparagraph (iii) is specified, as contemplated by Section 3.01, to be applicable to the Securities of
any series, such provision would not cause any Outstanding Securities of such series then listed on the New York Stock Exchange or other nationally recognized securities exchange to be de-listed as a result thereof; 

(iv) no Event of Default or event which with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both would become an Event of Default
with respect to the Securities of that series shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit; 
 (v) the
Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that, based upon applicable United States Federal income tax law or a ruling published by the Internal Revenue Service (which opinion, for the purposes contemplated by
Section 4.03(c)(i), must be based on a change in applicable United States Federal income tax law after the date of this Indenture or a ruling published by the Internal Revenue Service after the date of this Indenture), the beneficial owners of
the Securities of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States Federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit, defeasance and discharge and will be subject to United States Federal income tax on the same amount and
in the same manner and at the same times, as would have been the case if such deposit, defeasance and discharge had not occurred; and 

(vi) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all
conditions precedent relating to the defeasance contemplated by this Section have been complied with. 
 For the avoidance of doubt, neither
the Trustee nor any of its agents are responsible for determining the sufficiency of any amounts deposited in trust in connection with a discharge or defeasance of any series of Securities under the Indenture and neither the Trustee nor any of its
agents shall have any obligation or liability whatsoever with respect to the sufficiency of such amounts. 
 Section 4.04.
Reinstatement. If the Trustee is unable to apply any money in accordance with Section 4.03 by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then
the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Securities of such series shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 4.03 until such time as the Trustee is permitted to apply all such money
in accordance with Section 4.03; provided, however, that if the Company makes any payment of principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any Security following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be
subrogated to the rights of the Holders of the Securities of such series to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee. 

  
 28 








 ARTICLE 5 

REMEDIES 

Section 5.01. Events of Default. “Event of Default”, wherever used herein with respect to Securities of any
series, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and 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) default in the payment of any installment of interest upon any
Security of that series when it becomes due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days; or 
 (b) default in the
payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security of that series at its Maturity; or 
 (c) default in the deposit of any
sinking fund payment, when and as due by the terms of a Security of that series; or 
 (d) default in the performance or breach of any
covenant or warranty of the Company in this Indenture (other than a covenant or warranty a default in whose performance or whose breach is elsewhere in this Section specifically dealt with or which has expressly been included in this Indenture
solely for the benefit of a particular series of Securities other than that series) and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 90 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to
the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of the affected series (voting as a single class) a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and
stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder; or 
 (e) the entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises of
(i) a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in an involuntary case in respect of the Company under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or (ii) a decree or
order appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) of the Company, or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs and such decree or order shall remain unstayed and in effect for a
period of 60 consecutive days; or 
 (f) the commencement by the Company of a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or the consent by it to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case in respect of it under any such law, or the consent by it to the appointment of or taking possession by a
receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator (or similar official) of the Company, or the making by it of any general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or 

  
 29 








 (g) any other Event of Default provided with respect to Securities of that series. 

Section 5.02. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series
at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series affected (voting as a single class) may declare the
principal amount (or, if the Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount of such Securities as may be specified in the terms thereof) of all of the Securities of all such series to be due
and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount) shall become immediately due and payable; provided, that if an
Event of Default specified in clause (e) or (f) of Section 5.01 hereof occurs with respect to the Company, the unpaid principal of, premium, if any, and any accrued and unpaid interest on all the Securities shall ipso facto become and be
immediately due and payable without further action or notice on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. 
 At any time after such a
declaration of acceleration with respect to 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 provided, the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if: 

(a) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay 

(i) all overdue installments of interest on all Securities of that series, 

(ii) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Securities of that series which have become due otherwise than by such
declaration of acceleration and interest, if any, thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, 

(iii) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon any overdue installments of interest at the rate or
rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and 
 (iv) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel; 
 and 

  
 30 








 (b) all Events of Default with respect to Securities of that series, other than the nonpayment of
the principal of Securities of that series which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.13. 

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

Section 5.03. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. The Company covenants that if 

(a) default is made in the payment of any installment of interest on any Security when such interest becomes due and payable and such default
continues for a period of 30 days, or 
 (b) default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security at its
Maturity, 
 the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and
payable on such Securities for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on the overdue principal (and premium, if any) and on any overdue
installments of interest, at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. 
 If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such
demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against
the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities and called the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities, wherever situated. 

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

Section 5.04. Trustee May Enforce Claims. In case of any judicial proceeding relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon
the Securities), its property or its creditors: 
 (a) the Trustee shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or
otherwise, 

  
 31 








 (i) to take any and all actions authorized under the Trust Indenture Act in order
to have claims of the Holders and the Trustee allowed in any such proceeding, and 
 (ii) in particular, the Trustee shall be
authorized to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same in accordance with Section 5.06; and 

(b) any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby
authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee for distribution in accordance with Section 5.06, 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. 

No provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder
any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding; provided,
however, that the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders, vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a creditors’ or other similar committee. 

Section 5.05. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or
the Securities may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own
name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the
Holders of the Securities in respect of which such judgment has been recovered. 
 Section 5.06. Application of Money Collected.
Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal (or premium, if any) or interest,
if any, upon presentation of the Securities and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid: 

First: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee and its agents and counsel under Section 6.07; 

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

  
 32 








 Third: The balance, if any, to the Person or Persons determined to be entitled thereto.

 Section 5.07. Limitation on Suits. No Holder of any Security of any series shall have any right to institute any proceeding,
judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless 

(a) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of that
series; 
 (b) the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding securities of all series affected (voting as a single
class) shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder; 

(c) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to
be incurred in compliance with such request; 
 (d) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity
or security has failed to institute any such proceeding; and 
 (e) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to
the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series affected (voting as a single class); 

it being understood and intended that no one or more of the Holders of Securities of such series shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or
by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other such Holders (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are
unduly prejudicial to such Holders), or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all
such Holders. 
 Section 5.08. Unconditional Rights of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest. Notwithstanding any
other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Sections 3.05 and 3.07) interest, if any, on such
Security on the Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent
of such Holder. 

  
 33 








 Section 5.09. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder of any
Security has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every
such case the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of such Securities shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the
Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted. 
 Section 5.10. Rights and Remedies
Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of Section 3.06, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the
Trustee or to the Holders of Securities is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now
or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 

Section 5.11. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Security to exercise any
right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the
Holders of Securities may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders of Securities as the case may be. 

Section 5.12. Control by Holders. (a) The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all
affected series (voting as a single class) shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the
Securities of such series, provided that 
 (i) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this
Indenture, involve the Trustee in personal liability or be unduly prejudicial to the Holders of Securities not joining in the action, and 

(ii) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction. 

(b) The Company may set a record date for purposes of determining the identity of Holders entitled to vote or consent to any action by vote or
consent authorized or permitted by this Section 5.12 and Section 5.13. Such record date shall be the later of (i) 30 days prior to the first solicitation of such consent or (ii) the date of the most recent list of Holders
furnished to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.01 prior to such solicitation. 

  
 34 








 Section 5.13. Waiver of Past Defaults. Subject to Section 5.02, the Holders of
not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series waive any past default hereunder with respect to the Securities of such series and its
consequences, except a default 
 (a) in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on any Securities of such
series, or 
 (b) with respect to a covenant or provision hereof which under Article Nine cannot be modified or amended without the consent
of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of such series affected. 
 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 5.14. Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by his acceptance
thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as
Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such
suit, having due regard for the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of
Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all affected series, or to any suit instituted by any Holder of any Security for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if
any) or interest, if any, on any Security on or after the Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in such security (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date). 

Section 5.15. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not
at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this
Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee,
but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. 

  
 35 








 ARTICLE 6 

THE TRUSTEE 

Section 6.01. Certain Duties and Responsibilities. (a) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default with respect to
the Securities of any series, 
 (i) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically
set forth in this Indenture with respect to such series, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and 

(ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provisions hereof are
specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of
mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein). 
 (b) In case an Event of Default has occurred with respect to Securities of any
series and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture with respect to such series of Securities, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would
exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs. 
 (c) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed
to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that 

(i) this Subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of Subsection (a) of this Section; 

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

respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, determined as provided in

series; and 

  
 36 








 (iv) no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk
its own funds or otherwise incur any liability, financial or otherwise, in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such
funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. 
 (d) Whether or not therein expressly so
provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section. 

Section 6.02. Notice of Defaults. Within 90 days after the occurrence of any default hereunder with respect to the Securities of
any series, the Trustee shall transmit in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 7.03, notice of such default hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such default shall have been cured or waived; provided, however, that,
except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on any Security of such series or in the payment of any sinking fund installment with respect to Securities of such series, the Trustee
shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders of Securities of such series, and provided, further, that in the
case of any default of the character specified in Section 5.01(d) with respect to Securities of such series, no such notice to Holders shall be given until at least 60 days after the occurrence thereof. For the purpose of this Section, the term
“default” means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to Securities of such series. 

Section 6.03. Certain Rights of Trustee. Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.01 and subject to the provisions of the
Trust Indenture Act: 
 (a) the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any
resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, coupon, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been
signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

evidenced by a Company Request or Company Order or as otherwise expressly provided herein and any resolution of the Board of Directors may be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution;

(e) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or
direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders of Securities of any series shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be
incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction; 
 (f) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts
or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, coupon, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its
discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and
premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost of the Company and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation; provided that (1) the Trustee
provide the Company with reasonable notice of any such examination, (2) such examination is to take place at a location and time reasonable in the circumstances, and (3) the Trustee have good cause and be acting in good faith in the
interest of Holders in carrying out such examination;

duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder; 

(h) the Trustee’s immunities and protections from liability and its rights to compensation and indemnification in connection with the
performance of its duties under this Indenture shall extend to the Trustee’s officers, directors, agents and employees and its services as Paying Agent, Security Registrar or any other role assumed by the Trustee hereunder or to which it has
been appointed with respect to the Securities issued hereunder. Such immunities and protections and right to indemnification, together with the Trustee’s right to compensation, shall survive the Trustee’s resignation or removal and final
payment of the Securities; 
 (i) the Trustee is not required to give any bond or surety with respect to the performance of its duties or
the exercise of its powers under this Indenture; 
 (j) the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default
hereunder except (i) during any period it is serving as Paying Agent for the Securities of a series, any Event of Default pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or (b), or (ii) any Default or Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of
the Trustee shall have received written notification at the Corporate Trust Office from the Company or the 

  
 38 








 
Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of all affected Securities of the series with respect to which such Default or Event of Default has occurred (voting as a single class) and
is continuing and such notice references the Securities and this Indenture or obtained “actual knowledge,” which shall mean the actual fact or statement of knowing by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee without independent investigation
with respect thereto; 
 (k) the permissive rights of the Trustee enumerated herein shall not be construed as duties; 

(l) the Trustee may request that the Company deliver an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of
officers or other Persons authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, which Officer’s Certificate may be signed by any person authorized to sign an Officer’s Certificate, including any person specified as
so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded; 
 (m) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken,
suffered, or omitted to be taken by it in good faith and in the absence of negligence or willful misconduct and reasonably believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture; and 

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

Section 6.04. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities. The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except
the Trustee’s certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this
Indenture or of the Securities. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of Securities or the proceeds thereof. 

Section 6.05. May Hold Securities. The Trustee, any Paying Agent, any Security Registrar or any other agent of the Company,
in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and, subject to Sections 6.08 and 6.13, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Paying Agent, Security
Registrar or such other agent. 
 Section 6.06. Money Held in Trust. Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be
segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed in writing with the Company. 

  
 39 








 Section 6.07. Compensation and Reimbursement. The Company agrees: 

(a) to pay to the Trustee from time to time compensation as agreed between the Company and the Trustee from time to time in writing for all
services rendered by it hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust); 

(b) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and
advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may
be attributable to its negligence or willful misconduct; and 
 (c) to indemnify the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee and their respective
agents for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability, damage, claim or expense incurred without negligence or willful misconduct on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts
hereunder, including the costs and expenses of 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, or in connection with enforcing the provisions of this Section. 
 The obligations of the Company under this Section shall
constitute additional indebtedness hereunder and shall survive the termination, satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee. Such additional indebtedness shall be a senior claim to that of the
Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of particular Securities, and the Securities are hereby subordinated to such senior claim. If the Trustee
incurs expenses after the occurrence of a default specified in Section 5.01(e) or Section 5.01(f), such expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any bankruptcy law. 

Section 6.08. Disqualification; Conflicting Interests. If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the
meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act. 

Section 6.09. Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility. There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be a
corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or of any State or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000,
subject to supervision or examination by Federal, State or District of Columbia authority and having its Corporate Trust Office, in the United States of America. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law
or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most
recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance 

  
 40 








 
with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article. Neither the Company nor any Affiliate of the Company may
serve as Trustee. 
 Section 6.10. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of a Successor. (a) No resignation or removal of
the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee under Section 6.11. 

(b) The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the Company.
If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 6.11 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may, at the expense of the
Company, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series. 

(c) The Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the Securities of any series by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Trustee and to the Company. 
 (d) If at any time: 

(i) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 6.08 after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who
has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months; or 
 (ii) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under
Section 6.09 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder; or 
 (iii)
the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or
affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation; 
 then, in any such case, (A) the Company may remove the Trustee with respect
to all Securities, or (B) subject to Section 5.14, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction
for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all Securities and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 6.11 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee
within 30 days after the giving of such notice of removal, the Trustee being so removed may, at the expense of the Company, petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such
series. 
 (e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee
for any cause, with respect to the Securities 

  
 41 








 
of one or more series, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such successor
Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any particular series) and shall comply with the applicable
requirements of Section 6.11. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the
applicable requirements of Section 6.11, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee with respect to the
Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders of Securities of that series and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 6.11, any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a
Security of such series for at least six months, subject to Section 5.14, may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the
Securities of such series. 
 (f) The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to the
Securities of any series and each appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series in the manner provided in Section 1.06. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities
of such series and the address of its Corporate Trust Office. 
 Section 6.11. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.
(a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to all Securities, every such successor Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting
such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of
the retiring Trustee; but, on written request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of the charges due it pursuant to Section 6.07, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor
Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder. Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the
Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts. 

(b) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the
Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which
(i) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, 

  
 42 








 
powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (ii) if the retiring
Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties, including its right to be indemnified, of the retiring Trustee
with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and (iii) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be
necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and
that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation
or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring
Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such
successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates. 

(c) Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and
confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, as the case may be. 

(d) No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and
eligible under this Article. 
 Section 6.12. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. Any corporation into
which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially
all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further
act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such
authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities. 

Section 6.13. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company. The Trustee shall comply with the provisions of Section 311
of the Trust Indenture Act.

 Section 6.14. Appointment of Authenticating Agent. The Trustee may appoint an
Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to one or more series of Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series issued upon original issue and upon exchange, registration of
transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 3.06, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee
hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on
behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a corporation
organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State, territory or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than
$50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority. If such Authenticating Agent files reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then
for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so filed. 

If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent
shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section. 
 Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent
may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all
of the corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall be the successor Authenticating Agent hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further
act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent. 
 An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice
thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or
upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company
and shall give notice of such appointment in the manner provided in Section 1.06 to all Holders of Securities of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its
appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. 

  
 44 








 No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this
Section. 
 The Company agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time compensation as agreed between the Company and each
such Authenticating Agent for its services under this Section. 
 If an appointment with respect to one or more series is made pursuant to
this Section, the Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternative certificate of authentication in the following form: 

This is one of the Securities referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such

to the requirements of Section 6.11(b); 
 (i) to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision herein, as supplemented,

principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of each series affected by such supplemental indenture (voting as a single class), by Act of said Holders delivered to the Company and the Trustee, the Company and the Trustee may enter into an
indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Securities of such

 A supplemental indenture which changes or eliminates
any covenant or other provision of this Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Securities, or which modifies the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series with respect to such
covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture of the Holders of Securities of any other series.

Indenture. The Company shall deposit an amount sufficient to pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on the Securities of that series with the Paying Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the applicable

or upon the Company with respect to the Securities of that series and this Indenture may be served, any one or more of which offices or agencies may be the same for one or more series of Securities. 

The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee and prompt notice to the Holders of Securities of such series, as provided in
Section 1.06, of the location, and of any change in the location, of any such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency in respect of any series of Securities or shall fail to furnish

The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies (in or outside any Place of Payment) 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 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 10.03. Money for Security Payments to Be Held in Trust. 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 (and premium, if any) or interest, if any, 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 premium, if any) or interest, if any, 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
in writing of its action or failure so to act. 

  
 52 








 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 (and premium, if any) or interest, if any, on any Securities of that series, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest, if any, so becoming due,
such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal, premium or interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. 

The Company will cause each Paying Agent of any series of Securities other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an
instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will: 

(a) 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 Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons otherwise disposed of as herein provided; 

(b) give the Trustee written notice of any Default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities of that series) in the making of
any payment of principal (and premium, if any) or interest, if any, on the Securities of that series; and 
 (c) at any time during the
continuance of any such Default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent. 

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 shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money. 

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 (and
premium, if any) or interest, if any, on any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal (and premium, if any) or interest, if any, has become due and payable shall, unless otherwise required by mandatory
provisions of applicable escheat, or abandoned or unclaimed property law, be paid to the Company on Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall 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, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease. 

  
 53 








 Section 10.04. Statement as to Compliance. (a) The Company will deliver to the
Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company ending after the date hereof, an Officer’s Certificate from its principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer, covering the
preceding fiscal year, stating whether or not, to the best knowledge of the signer thereof, the Company is in Default in the performance and observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (without regard to any period of
grace or requirement of notice provided hereunder) and, if the Company shall be in Default, specifying all such Defaults and the nature and status thereof of which they may have knowledge. 

(b) The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, as soon as possible and in any event within 15 days after the Company becomes aware of the
occurrence of any Default or Event of Default an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the details of such Default or Event of Default and the action which the Company proposes to take with respect thereto. 

Section 10.05. Corporate Existence. Subject to Article Eight, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to
preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence.

may omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in any covenant pursuant to Sections 3.01(s), 9.01(b) or 9.01(g), if before the time for such compliance the Holders of at least a majority in principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities of each series shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such term, provision, covenant or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or
affect such term, provision, covenant 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 with respect to any such term, provision,
covenant or condition shall remain in full force and effect. 
 Section 10.07. Additional Amounts. If the Securities of a series
provide for the payment of additional amounts, the Company will pay to the Holder of any Security of such series additional amounts as provided therein. Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of the principal of
or any premium or interest on, or in respect of, any Security of any series or the net proceeds received on the sale or exchange of any Security of any series, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of additional amounts
provided for in this Section to the extent that, in such context, additional amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this Section and express mention of the payment of additional amounts (if applicable)
in any provisions hereof shall not be construed as excluding additional amounts in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made. 

If the Securities of a series provide for the payment of additional amounts, at least 10 days prior to the first Interest Payment Date with
respect to that series of Securities (or if the Securities of that series will not bear interest prior to Maturity, the first day on which a payment of principal and any premium is made), and at least 10 days prior to


  
 54 








 
each date of payment of principal and any premium or interest if there has been any change with respect to the matters set forth in the below-mentioned Officer’s Certificate, the Company
will furnish the Trustee and the Company’s principal Paying Agent or Paying Agents, if other than the Trustee, with an Officer’s Certificate instructing the Trustee and such Paying Agent or Paying Agents whether such payment of principal
of and any premium or interest on the Securities of that series shall be made to one or more Holders of Securities of that series without withholding for or on account of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge described in the Securities
of that series. If any such withholding shall be required, then such Officer’s Certificate shall specify by country the amount, if any, required to be withheld on such payments to such Holders of Securities and the Company will pay to the
Trustee or such Paying Agent the additional amounts required by this Section. The Company covenants to indemnify the Trustee and any Paying Agent for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense reasonably incurred without
negligence or willful misconduct on their part arising out of or in connection with actions taken or omitted by any of them in reliance on any Officer’s Certificate furnished pursuant to this Section. The Trustee shall not at any time be under
any duty or responsibility to any Holder to determine the Additional Amounts or with respect to the nature, extent, or calculation of the amount of Additional Amounts owed, or with respect to the method employed in such calculation of the Additional
Amounts. 
 ARTICLE 11 

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES

such other method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and in the case of a Global Security, in accordance with the Depositary’s applicable procedures, and which may provide for the selection for redemption of portions (equal to the
minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that series or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal amount of Securities of such series of a denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that series or
of portions of the principal amount of global Securities of such series. 
 The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the
Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Securities selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. 

For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities shall
relate, in the case of any Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Securities which has been or is to be redeemed. 

Section 11.04. Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided in Section 1.06 not more than
60 days nor less than 10 days prior to the Redemption Date, to the Holders of Securities to be redeemed. Notices of redemption may be conditioned upon the occurrence of one or more subsequent events specified in the notice. 

All notices of redemption shall state: 

(i) the Redemption Date; 

(ii) the Redemption Price and any accrued interest; 

(iii) if less than all Outstanding Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial
redemption, the principal amounts) of the particular Securities to be redeemed; 
 (iv) that on the Redemption Date the
Redemption Price, and any accrued interest thereon, will become due and payable upon each such Security to be redeemed and that interest thereon shall cease to accrue from and after said date; 

(v) the place or places where such Securities are maturing after the Redemption Date, to be surrendered for payment of the
Redemption Price and any accrued interest thereon; 
 (vi) if such be the case, that the installment of interest on
Securities whose Stated Maturity is the Redemption Date is payable to the Persons in whose names such Securities are registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Redemption Date; 

  
 56 








 (vii) that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case; 

(viii) any condition to such redemption; and 

(ix) the CUSIP number of the Securities to be redeemed. 

Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed shall be given by the Company or, at the Company’s written request to the Trustee no
less than five days (or such shorter period as agreed by the Trustee) prior to the date on which such redemption notice is to be sent to Holders of such series of Securities, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company. 

Section 11.05. Deposit of Redemption Price. Not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Redemption Date, the Company
shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 10.03) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except if
the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) any accrued interest on, all the Securities which are to be redeemed on that date. 

Section 11.06. Securities Payable on Redemption Date. Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be
redeemed shall (provided any conditions specified in such notice of redemption shall have been satisfied or waived), on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified together with any accrued interest thereon
and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest), such Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Securities for redemption in accordance with said
notice, such Securities shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with any accrued interest to the Redemption Date (provided any conditions specified in such notice of redemption shall have been satisfied or waived). 

If the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest on any Security called for redemption, the principal
(and premium, if any) of such Security shall, until paid or until payment is provided for in accordance herewith, bear interest for the Redemption Date at the rate, if any, prescribed therefor in the Security. 

So long as it is actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee that an Event of Default is continuing hereunder, the Trustee shall
not redeem any Securities of any series pursuant to this Article (unless all Outstanding Securities of such series are to be redeemed) or mail or give any notice of redemption of Securities except that, where the mailing of notice of redemption of
any Securities shall theretofore have been made, the Trustee shall redeem or cause to be redeemed such Securities, provided that it shall have received from the Company a sum sufficient for such redemption. Except as aforesaid, any monies
theretofore or thereafter received by the Trustee shall, during the continuance of such Event of Default, be deemed to have been collected under Article Five and held for the payment of all such Securities. In case such Event of Default shall


  
 57 








 
have been waived as provided in Section 5.13 or the Default cured on or before the sixtieth day preceding the Redemption Date, such monies shall thereafter be applied in accordance with the
provisions of this Article. 
 Section 11.07. Securities Redeemed in Part. Any Security which is to be redeemed only in part
shall be surrendered at any Place of Payment therefor (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof
or his attorney duly authorized in writing) and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Security or Securities of the same series and of like tenor, of any
authorized denomination as requested by the Holder, in an aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered.

 SINKING
FUNDS 
 Section 12.01. Applicability of Article. The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any
sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of a series except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for the Securities of such series. 

The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as a
“mandatory sinking fund payment”, and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of the Securities of any series is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment.” If provided
for by the terms of the Securities of any series, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 12.02. Each sinking fund payment made on the Securities of a series shall be applied to the
redemption of the Securities of such series as provided for by the terms of the Securities of such series. 
 Section 12.02.
Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments With Securities. The Company (a) may deliver Outstanding Securities of a series (other than any previously called for redemption) and (b) may apply as a credit the Securities of a series which
have been redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Securities, in each case in satisfaction of all or
any part of any sinking fund payment as specified in the Officer’s Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 12.03 with respect to the Securities of such series required to be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities as provided for
by the terms of such series; provided that such Securities have not been previously so credited. Such Securities shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the Redemption Price specified in such Securities for
redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly. 

Section 12.03. Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund. Not less than 60 days or such other shorter period as may be acceptable
to the Trustee prior to each sinking 

  
 58 








 
fund payment date for any series of Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for that
series pursuant to the terms of that series, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities of that series pursuant to
Section 12.02 and will also deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so delivered. Not less than 30 days before each such sinking fund payment date the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in
the manner specified in Section 11.03 and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided in Section 11.04. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of
such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 11.06 and 11.07.

the Company or by Holders of Securities as provided in Section 13.02(b), in which case the Company or the Holders of Securities of the series calling the meeting, as the case may be, shall in like manner appoint a temporary chairman. A
permanent chairman and a permanent secretary of the meeting shall be elected by vote of the Persons entitled to vote a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series represented at the meeting. 

(c) At any meeting each Holder of a Security of such series or proxy shall be entitled to one vote for each $1,000 principal amount of the

for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and
delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof[, limited in aggregate principal amount to [U.S.] [$]            ], subject to the Company’s right
from time to time, without giving notice to or seeking the consent of the holders of the Securities, to issue an unlimited amount of additional securities in one or more series having the same ranking and the same interest rate, maturity and other
terms as the Securities other than issue date, issue price and the payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date of the additional securities (such additional securities having such similar terms, together with the Securities of this series,
constituting a single issue of Securities under the Indenture), provided that if such additional securities are not fungible with the then-outstanding Securities of this series for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the additional securities
shall have a separate CUSIP number. The Securities of this series are issuable as Securities only in registered form, without coupons in denominations of [U.S. $]            , and

for registration of transfer. 
 [If applicable, insert- The Securities of this series are subject to redemption [(1)] [If applicable,

to on the face hereof, all as provided in the Indenture].] 
 Partial redemption must be made in an amount not less than [U.S. $2,000 or in
integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof].
