 (v) if and as applicable, the terms and conditions of any right to exchange for or convert

the Notes of the Series. 
 All Notes of any one Series need not be issued at the same time and may be issued from time to time,
consistent with the terms of this Indenture, if so provided by or pursuant to the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture or Officer’s Certificate referred to above. Unless otherwise provided by a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture or
an Officer’s Certificate with respect to the Notes of any Series, the Issuer may from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the Holders of the Notes of such Series, create and issue additional Notes of such Series ranking equally
with all other Notes of such Series in all respects (or in all respects other than the payment of interest accruing prior to issue date of such additional Notes). Such additional Notes may be consolidated and form a single Series with the Notes of
such Series and have the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise as the Notes of such Series. 
 The Notes of each
Series shall be in such form as shall be established by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, supplemental indenture or Officer’s Certificate, in each case with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are
required or permitted by this Indenture, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as may be required to comply with the rules of any securities exchange or as may, consistent
herewith, be determined by the officer executing such Notes, as evidenced by their execution of the Notes. If the form of Notes of any Series is established by action taken pursuant to a Board Resolution or Officer’s Certificate, a copy of an
appropriate record of such action shall be certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Issuer and delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Authentication Order contemplated by Section 2.03 for the
authentication and delivery of such Notes. 
 The definitive Notes may be printed, lithographed or engraved on steel engraved
borders or may be produced in any other manner, all as determined by the Officer executing such Notes, as evidenced by their execution of such Notes. 
 Section 2.03 Execution and Authentication. 
 At least one Officer must
sign the Notes for the Issuer by manual or facsimile signature. 
 If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds
that office at the time the Note is authenticated, the Note will nevertheless be valid. 
 A Note will not be valid until
authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or other authorized authenticating agent. The signature will be conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture. 

The Trustee shall at any time, and from time to time, authenticate Notes for original issue in the principal amount provided in the Board
Resolution, supplemental indenture or Officer’s Certificate, upon receipt by the Trustee of a written order of the Issuer signed by an Officer (an “Authentication Order”). Such Authentication Order may authorize authentication
and delivery pursuant to oral or electronic instructions from the Issuer or its duly authorized agent or agents, which oral instructions shall be promptly confirmed in writing. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication unless otherwise
provided by a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture or an Officer’s Certificate. 
 The aggregate principal amount of
Notes of any Series outstanding at any time may not exceed any limit upon the maximum principal amount for such Series set forth in the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture or Officer’s Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.02,
except as provided in Section 2.08. 

  
 8 








 Prior to the issuance of Notes of any Series, the Trustee shall have received and (subject
to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying on: (a) the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture or Officer’s Certificate establishing the form of the Notes of that Series or of Notes within that Series and the terms of the
Notes of that Series or of Notes within that Series and (b) an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel complying with Section 11.04. 
 The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Notes of such Series (a) if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken or
(b) if the Trustee in good faith by its board of directors or trustees, executive committee or a trust committee of directors and/or vice-presidents shall determine that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability to Holders of
any then outstanding Series of Notes. 
 The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Issuer to
authenticate Notes. An authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights
as an Agent to deal with the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer. 
 Section 2.04 Registrar and Paying Agent; Depositary.

 The Issuer will maintain, with respect to each Series of Notes, at the place or places specified with respect to such Series
pursuant to Section 2.02 an office or agency where Notes of such Series may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”) and an office or agency where such Notes may be presented for payment
(“Paying Agent”). The Registrar will keep a register of such Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The Issuer may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Registrar”
includes any co-registrar and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Issuer will notify the Trustee in writing of the name and
address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Issuer fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Issuer or any of the Issuer’s Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or
Registrar. 
 The Issuer hereby initially appoints The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York (“DTC”) to
act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes for each Series. 
 The Issuer hereby initially appoints the Trustee to act
as the Registrar and Paying Agent and to act as custodian with respect to the Global Notes for each Series unless another Registrar, Paying Agent or custodian of Global Notes for the Depositary, as the case may be, is appointed prior to the time
Notes of that Series are first issued. 
 The Trustee and the Issuer may treat the Depositary or its nominee as the sole and
exclusive owner of the Notes registered in its name for the purposes of payment of the principal or redemption price of, purchase price of, or interest on the Notes, selecting the Notes or Series to be redeemed, giving any notice permitted or
required to be given to Holders under this Indenture, registering the transfer of Notes, obtaining any consent or other action to be taken by Holders and, except as specifically provided herein, for all other purposes whatsoever; and neither the
Issuer nor the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. Neither the Issuer nor the Trustee shall have any responsibility or obligation to any Member, any person claiming a beneficial ownership interest in the Notes under or through
the Depositary or any such Member, or any other person which is not shown on the registration books of the 

  
 9 








 
Registrar or the Trustee as being a Holder, with respect to any of the following: the Notes; or the accuracy of any records maintained by the Depositary or any Member; or the payment by the
Depositary or any Member of any amount in respect of the principal or redemption price of, purchase price of, or interest on, the Notes; or the delivery to any Member or any person claiming a beneficial ownership interest in the Notes of any notice
which is permitted or required to be given to Holders under this Indenture; or the selection by the Depositary or any Member of any person to receive payment in the event of a partial redemption of the Notes; or any consent given or other action
taken by the Depositary as Holder. 
 Section 2.05 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. 

The Issuer will require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust for the
benefit of Holders of any Series or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes of such Series, and will notify the Trustee of any default by the Issuer in making any
such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Issuer at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the
Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Issuer or a Subsidiary) will have no further liability for the money. If the Issuer or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it will segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders
of any Series all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Issuer, the Trustee will serve as Paying Agent for the Notes. 
 Section 2.06 Holder Lists. 
 The Trustee will preserve in as current a
form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders of each Series of Notes and shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuer will
furnish to the Trustee at least seven Business Days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and
addresses of the Holders of each Series of Notes and the Issuer shall otherwise comply with the requirements of TIA § 312(a). 

Section 2.07 Transfer and Exchange. 
 Where Notes of a Series are presented to the Registrar or a co-registrar with a request to register a transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Notes of the same Series, the Registrar
shall register the transfer or make the exchange if its requirements for such transactions are met. To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Trustee shall authenticate Notes at the Registrar’s request. No service charge shall be
made for any registration of transfer or exchange (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein), but the Issuer may require payment by a Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection
therewith (other than any such transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable upon exchanges pursuant to Sections 2.11, 3.06 or 9.05). 
 Neither the Issuer nor the Registrar shall be required (a) to issue, register the transfer of, or exchange Notes of any Series for the period beginning at the opening of business 15 days immediately
preceding the mailing of a notice of redemption of Notes of that Series selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing or (b) to register the transfer of or exchange Notes of any Series selected, called
or being called for redemption as a whole or the portion being redeemed of any such Notes selected, called or being called for redemption in part.

 Section 2.08 Replacement Notes. 

If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or the Issuer or the Trustee receives evidence to its reasonable satisfaction of the
destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Issuer will issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate a replacement Note of the same Series if the Trustee’s requirements are met. If required by the Trustee or
the Issuer, security or indemnity must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Issuer to protect the Issuer, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if
a Note is replaced. The Issuer may charge for its expenses in replacing a Note. 
 Every replacement Note is an additional
obligation of the Issuer and will be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes of such Series duly issued hereunder. 
 In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Issuer in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note. 

Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section 2.08, the Issuer may require the payment by a Holder 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. 
 The provisions of this Section 2.08 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 Notes. 
 Section 2.09 Outstanding Notes. 
 The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note
effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof and those described in this Section 2.09 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.10 hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or an
Affiliate of the Issuer holds the Note. 
 If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08 hereof, it ceases to be
outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser. 
 If
the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue. 
 If the Paying Agent (other than the Issuer, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a redemption date or maturity date of Notes of a Series, money sufficient to pay such Notes payable on
that date, then on and after that date such Notes will be deemed to be no longer outstanding and will cease to accrue interest unless otherwise provided by a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture or an Officer’s Certificate with respect to
such Series. 
 In determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of outstanding Notes have given any
request, demand, authorization, notice, direction, waiver or consent hereunder, the principal amount of a Discount Note that shall be deemed to be outstanding for such purposes shall be the amount of the principal thereof that would be due and
payable as of the date of such determination upon a declaration of acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 6.02. 

  
 11 









 Section 2.10 Treasury Notes. 

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes of a Series have concurred in any request, demand,
authorization, notice, direction, waiver or consent, Notes of a Series owned by the Issuer or by any of its Affiliates will be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee will be protected in
relying on any such request, demand, authorization, notice, direction, waiver or consent, only Notes of a Series that a Responsible Officer in the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee actually knows are so owned will be so disregarded. 

Section 2.11 Temporary Notes. 
 Until definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes will be substantially in
the form of definitive Notes but may have variations that the Issuer considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as may be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer will prepare and the Trustee will authenticate
definitive Notes of the same Series and date of Maturity in exchange for temporary Notes. 
 Holders of temporary Notes will be
entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture inuring to Holders of Notes. 
 Section 2.12 Cancellation. 

The Issuer at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent will forward to the Trustee any
Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else will promptly cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and will dispose of
canceled Notes (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act) or return them to the Issuer. Certification of the destruction of all canceled Notes will be delivered to the Issuer. The Issuer may not issue new Notes to replace
Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 
 Section 2.13 Defaulted Interest. 

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

Section 2.14 Global Notes. 
 (a) Terms of Securities. A Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture or an Officer’s Certificate shall establish whether the Notes of a Series shall be issued in whole or in part in the form
of one or more Global Notes and the Depositary for such Global Note or Notes. 

  
 12 









 (b) Transfer and Exchange. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained
in Section 2.07 of the Indenture and in addition thereto, any Global Note shall be exchangeable pursuant to Section 2.07 of the Indenture for Notes registered in the names of Holders other than the Depositary for such Note or its nominee
only if (i) the Issuer delivers to the Trustee a notice from the Depositary that (A) the Depositary is no longer willing or able to continue as depositary for any Global Note, or (B) the Depositary ceases to be a “clearing
agency” registered under Section 17A of the Exchange Act, and, in either case, the Issuer is unable to locate a qualified successor within 120 days, (ii) the Issuer, at its option, notifies the Trustee in writing that it elects to
cause the issuance of Notes in definitive form under the Indenture, or (iii) there has occurred and is continuing a Default or Event of Default with respect to such Notes. Any Global Note that is exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence
shall, upon surrender by the Depositary of such Global Note, be exchangeable for Notes registered in such names as the Depositary shall direct in writing in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Note with like
tenor and terms. Except as provided in this Section 2.14(b), a Global Note may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary with respect to such Global Note to a nominee of such Depositary, by a nominee of such Depositary to such
Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such a successor Depositary. 
 (c) Legend. Any Global Note issued hereunder shall bear a legend in substantially the following form: 
 “This Note is a Global Note within the meaning of the Indenture hereinafter referred to and is registered in the name of the Depositary or a nominee of the Depositary. This Note is exchangeable for
Notes registered in the name of a person other than the Depositary or its nominee only in the limited circumstances described in the Indenture, and may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, by a
nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such a successor Depositary.” 

(d) Acts of Holders. The Depositary, as a Holder, may appoint agents and otherwise authorize participants to give or take any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action which a Holder is entitled to give or take under the Indenture. 
 (e) Payments. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Indenture, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.02, payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on any
Global Note shall be made to the Holder thereof. 
 (f) Consents, Declaration and Directions. Members of, or participants
in, the Depositary (“Members”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary or by the Custodian under such Global Note, and the Depositary may be treated by the
Issuer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Registrar and any of their agents as the absolute owner of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Issuer, the Trustee, the
Paying Agent or the Registrar or any of their agents from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and its Members, the operation of customary practices
of the Depositary governing the exercise of the rights of an owner of a beneficial interest in any Global Note. The Holder of a Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Members and Persons that may hold interests
through Members, to take any action that a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes. 

  
 13 









 Section 2.15 CUSIP Numbers. 

The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use
“CUSIP” numbers in notices as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice and
that reliance may be placed only on the other elements of identification printed on the Notes, and any such notice shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any
change in the “CUSIP” numbers of which it becomes aware. 
 ARTICLE 3  

REDEMPTION 
 Section 3.01
Notices to Trustee. 
 The Issuer may, with respect to any Series of Notes, reserve the right to redeem the Series of
Notes or may covenant to redeem the Series of Notes or any part thereof prior to the Stated Maturity thereof at such time and on such terms as provided for in such Notes. If a Series of Notes is redeemable and the Issuer wants or is obligated to
redeem prior to the Stated Maturity thereof all or part of the Series of Notes pursuant to the terms of such Notes, it shall notify the Trustee of the redemption date and the principal amount of Series of Notes to be redeemed. Subject to
Section 3.03, the Issuer shall give the notice at least 30 days before the redemption date (or such shorter notice as may be acceptable to the Trustee in its sole discretion). 
 Section 3.02 Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed. 
 Unless otherwise
indicated for a particular Series by a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture or an Officer’s Certificate, if less than all of the Notes of a Series are to be redeemed, the Trustee will select such Notes for redemption except: 

(1) if such Notes are listed on any national securities exchange, in compliance with the requirements of the principal
national securities exchange on which such Notes are listed; or 
 (2) if such Notes are not listed on any
national securities exchange, in any manner that the Trustee deems fair and appropriate, which may include selection pro rata or by lot. 
 The Trustee shall make the selection from Notes of the Series outstanding not previously called for redemption. 
 In the event of partial redemption, the particular Notes to be redeemed will be selected, unless otherwise indicated for a particular Series by a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture or an
Officer’s Certificate, not less than 30 days prior to the redemption date (or such shorter period as may be acceptable to the Trustee) by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption. 

The Trustee will promptly notify the Issuer in writing of the Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Note selected for
partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Notes and portions of Notes selected will be in amounts of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000 or, with respect to Notes of any Series issuable in other
denominations pursuant to Section 

  
 14 









 
2.02(k), the minimum principal denomination for each Series and integral multiples thereof; except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed, the entire outstanding amount of Notes
held by such Holder, even if less than $2,000 and/or not a multiple of $1,000, shall be redeemed. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes
called for redemption. 
 Section 3.03 Notice of Redemption. 

(a) Unless otherwise indicated for a particular Series by a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture or an Officer’s Certificate,
at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Issuer will mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that
redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes of a Series or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to Notes of a Series
pursuant to Articles 8 or 10 hereof. 
 The notice will identify the Notes to be redeemed and will state: 

(1) the redemption date; 
 (2) the redemption price or the manner in which the redemption prices may be calculated; 
 (3) if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Note to be redeemed and that, after the redemption date upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal
amount equal to the unredeemed portion will be issued upon cancellation of the original Note; 
 (4) the name and
address of the Paying Agent; 
 (5) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to
collect the redemption price; 
 (6) that, unless the Issuer defaults in making such redemption payment, interest
on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date; 
 (7) the paragraph of the
Notes and or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed; 

(8) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number, if any, listed in such notice or
printed on the Notes being redeemed; and 
 (9) any other information as may be required by the terms of the
particular Series of Notes being redeemed. 
 At the Issuer’s request, the Trustee will give the notice of redemption in
the Issuer’s name and at the Issuer’s expense; provided, however, that the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee, at least 45 days prior to the redemption date (or such shorter notice as may be acceptable to the Trustee), an
Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph. 

  
 15 









 Section 3.04 Effect of Notice of Redemption. 

Unless otherwise indicated for a particular Series by a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture or an Officer’s Certificate, once
notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Notes shall be paid
at the redemption price plus accrued interest to the redemption date. 
 Section 3.05 Deposit of Redemption Price. 

On or before 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the redemption date, the Issuer will deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money
sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on all Notes to be redeemed on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent will promptly return to the Issuer any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Issuer in
excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of, and accrued interest on, all Notes to be redeemed. 
 If the
Issuer complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the redemption date interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes of the Series called for redemption. If a Note of a Series is redeemed on or after
an interest record date but on or prior to the related interest payment date, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such record date. If any Note of a
Series called for redemption is not so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Issuer to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption date until such principal is
paid, and, if such Notes provide for the payment of default interest, to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in such Notes. 
 Section 3.06 Notes Redeemed in Part. 
 Upon surrender of a Note that
is redeemed in part, the Issuer will issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, the Trustee will authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Issuer a new Note of the same Series equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of
the Note surrendered. 
 ARTICLE 4  
 COVENANTS 
 Section 4.01 Payment of Notes. 

The Issuer covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Holders of each Series of Notes that the Issuer will pay or cause to be paid the
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, the Notes of that Series on the dates and in the manner provided in such Notes and this Indenture. Principal, premium, if any, and interest will be considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent,
if other than the Issuer or a Subsidiary thereof, holds as of 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the due date money deposited by the Issuer in immediately available funds and designated for and sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and interest
then due. If a payment date is a Legal Holiday at a place of payment, payment may be made at that place on the next succeeding day that is not a Legal Holiday, and, unless specified with respect to such Series of Notes, no interest shall accrue on
such payment for the intervening period.

 Section 4.02 Reports. 
 Unless this Section 4.02 is otherwise indicated to be inapplicable to the Notes of a particular Series by a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture or an Officer’s Certificate, the Issuer
shall deliver to the Trustee, no later than the time such report is required to be filed with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act, a copy of each report (or copies of such portions thereof as the SEC may by rules and regulations prescribe) which
the Issuer is required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (after giving effect to any grace period provided by Rule 12b-25 under the Exchange Act). The Issuer also shall comply with the other requirements
of TIA Section 314(a). For the avoidance of doubt, the Issuer will be deemed to have furnished such reports referred to above to the Trustee and the Holders if the Issuer filed such reports with the SEC via its Electronic Data Gathering and
Retrieval System filing system and such reports are publicly available. 
 Delivery of such reports, information and documents
to the Trustee is for informational purposes only, and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Issuer’s
compliance with any of their covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to conclusively rely exclusively on an Officer’s Certificate). 
 Section 4.03 Compliance Certificate. 
 (a) The Issuer shall deliver to
the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Issuer, a brief certificate of the principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer of the Issuer stating that in the course of performing
their duties as officers of the Issuer, a review of the activities of the Issuer and the Issuer’s Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing officers with a view to determining whether the
Issuer has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under this Indenture, and further stating, as to each such officer signing such certificate, that to the best of his or her knowledge the Issuer has kept, observed, performed and
fulfilled each and every covenant contained in this Indenture and is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (or, if a Default or Event of Default has occurred, describing all
such Defaults or Events of Default of which he or she may have knowledge and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto) and that to the best of his or her knowledge no event has occurred and remains in existence by
reason of which payments on account of the principal of or interest, if any, on the Notes is prohibited or if such event has occurred, a description of the event and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

 (b) So long as any of the Notes are outstanding, the Issuer will deliver to the Trustee, promptly upon any Officer becoming
aware of any Default or Event of Default, an Officer’s Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default and what action the Issuer is taking or propose to take with respect thereto; provided, however, that no notice need be
delivered under this Section 4.03(b) if the Default or Event of Default has been cured prior to the time delivery of notice would have otherwise been required. 
 Section 4.04 Taxes. 
 The Issuer will pay, and will cause each of its
Subsidiaries to pay, prior to delinquency, all material taxes, assessments and governmental levies except such as are contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings or where the failure to effect such payment is not adverse in any material
respect to the Holders of the Notes. 

  
 17 









 Section 4.05 Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. 

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

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

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

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

 provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the corporate,
partnership or other existence of any of its Significant Subsidiaries, if the Board of Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries, taken as a
whole, and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes or such action is otherwise permitted by this Indenture. 
 ARTICLE 5  
 SUCCESSORS 

Section 5.01 Merger, Consolidation, or Sale of Assets. 
 Unless this Section 5.01 is otherwise indicated to be inapplicable to the Notes of a particular Series by a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture or an Officer’s Certificate, the Issuer
will not: (i) consolidate or merge with or into another Person; or (ii) sell, assign, transfer, convey, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Issuer, in one or more related transactions,
to another Person, unless: 
 (1) either: 

(A) the Issuer is the surviving entity; or 

(B) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Issuer) or to which such sale,
assignment, transfer, conveyance, lease or other disposition has been made is a corporation, partnership or limited liability company organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state of the United States or the District of
Columbia; 
 (2) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Issuer) or
to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, lease or other disposition has been made assumes all the obligations of the Issuer under the Notes and this Indenture pursuant to agreements reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; and

 (3) immediately after such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists. 

  
 18 









 This Section 5.01 will not apply to a merger of the Issuer with an Affiliate solely for
the purpose of reincorporating the Issuer in another jurisdiction. 
 Section 5.02 Successor Corporation Substituted. 

Upon any consolidation or merger, or any sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all
of the properties or assets of the Issuer, in a transaction that is subject to, and that complies with the provisions of, Section 5.01 hereof, the successor Person formed by such consolidation or into or with which the Issuer is merged or to
which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, lease or other disposition is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, lease or other
disposition, the provisions of this Indenture referring to the “Issuer” shall refer instead to the successor Person and not to the Issuer), and may exercise every right and power of the Issuer under this Indenture with the same effect as
if such successor Person had been named as the Issuer herein; thereafter, the predecessor Person shall be released from all obligations and covenants under this Indenture and the Notes. 

ARTICLE 6 

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES 

Section 6.01 Events of Default. 
 “Event of Default,” wherever used herein with respect to Notes of any Series, means any one of the following events, unless in the establishing Board Resolution, supplemental indenture or
Officer’s Certificate it is provided that such Series shall not have the benefit of said Event of Default: 

(1) default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on any Note of that Series; 

(2) default in the payment when due (at Maturity, upon redemption or otherwise) of the principal of, or premium, if any,
on, any Note of that Series; 
 (3) failure by the Issuer to comply with any of the other covenants in this
Indenture (other than a covenant that has been included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of a Series of Notes other than that Series) and such failure continues for the period and after the notice specified below; 

(4) default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured
or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Issuer, whether such Indebtedness now exists, or is created after the date of this Indenture, if that default 

(A) is caused by a failure to pay principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on, such Indebtedness prior to the
expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness following the Stated Maturity of such Indebtedness (a “Payment Default”); or 

  
 19 









 (B) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its Stated
Maturity, and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the Maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates
such amount as may be set forth in a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture or an Officer’s Certificate for a particular Series of Notes; 
 (5) the Issuer or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any group of Subsidiaries of the Issuer that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, pursuant to or within the meaning of
Bankruptcy Law 
 (A) commences a voluntary case; 

(B) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case; 

(C) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property; 

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

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

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

(A) is for relief against the Issuer or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any group of Subsidiaries of the Issuer
that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case; 
 (B) appoints a
Custodian of the Issuer or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any group of Subsidiaries of the Issuer that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary or for all or substantially all of the property of the Issuer or any of its
Significant Subsidiaries or any group of Subsidiaries of the Issuer that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary; or 
 (C) orders the liquidation of the Issuer or any of Significant Subsidiaries or any group of Subsidiaries of the Issuer that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, 

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

(7) any other Event of Default provided with respect to Notes of that Series, which is specified in a Board Resolution, a
supplemental indenture or an Officer’s Certificate, in accordance with Section 2.02(q). 
 A Default under clause
(3) shall not be an Event of Default until the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of that Series then outstanding voting as a single class notify the Issuer and the Trustee of the Default and the
Issuer does not cure the Default or it is not waived within 60 days after the receipt of the notice. The notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied to the extent consistent with law and state that the notice is a “Notice of
Default.” 

  
 20 









 Section 6.02 Acceleration. 

In the case of an Event of Default with respect to Notes of any Series at the time outstanding specified in clause (5) or
(6) of Section 6.01 hereof with respect to the Issuer, all outstanding Notes of such Series will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default with respect to Notes of any Series at the
time outstanding occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount (or, if any Notes of that Series are Discount Notes, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of such
Notes) of the then outstanding Notes of such Series may declare all such Notes to be due and payable immediately. 
 Upon any
such declaration, the Notes of such Series shall become due and payable immediately. 
 The Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of such Series by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of all of the Holders of such Notes, rescind any declaration or acceleration and its consequences (other than with respect to an Event of
Default specified in clauses (5) or (6) of Section 6.01), if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default with respect to such Notes (except nonpayment of principal, premium, if
any, or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived. 
 Section 6.03 Other Remedies.

 If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes of a Series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available
remedy to collect the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on such Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of such Notes or this Indenture as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce the rights of the
Holders of such Notes. 
 The Trustee may maintain a proceeding with respect to the Notes of a Series even if it does not
possess any of such Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Note in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default with respect to the Notes of a Series shall
not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default with respect to such Notes. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law. 
 Section 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults. 
 Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of a Series by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of such Notes waive an existing Default or Event of Default with respect to such Notes and its consequences hereunder,
except a continuing Default or Event of Default with respect to such Notes in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, such Notes. Upon any such waiver, such Default with respect to such Notes shall cease to exist, and any
Event of Default with respect to such Notes 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 with respect to such Notes or impair any right
with respect to such Notes consequent thereon. 
 Section 6.05 Control by Majority. 

Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of a Series may direct the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, that the Trustee
determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Notes of such Series or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability. The Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such
direction. 

  
 21 









 Section 6.06 Limitation on Suits. 

A Holder of Notes of a Series may pursue a remedy, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture or the Notes of such Series only
if: 
 (1) such Holder has previously given the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default with respect to
such Notes is continuing; 
 (2) Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding
Notes of such Series make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy; 
 (3) such Holder or Holders
offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense; 
 (4) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and 

(5) during such 60-day period, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of such
Series do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request. 
 Section 6.07 Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive
Payment. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of
principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected
without the consent of such Holder. 
 Section 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee. 

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

 The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in
order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders of the Notes allowed in any liquidation, dissolution,
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership or similar proceeding under Bankruptcy Law, an assignment for the benefit of creditors, any marshalling of assets or liabilities, or winding up or dissolution, not include any transaction
permitted by and made in compliance with Article 5 (each of the foregoing, a “Proceeding”) and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any


  
 22 









 
such claims, and any Custodian in any Proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such
payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable and documented compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under
Section 7.07 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in
any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to
receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any
Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any Proceeding. 

Section 6.10 Priorities. 
 If the Trustee collects any money with respect to a Series of Notes pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money in the following order: 

First: to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.07 hereof; 

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

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

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

Section 6.11 Undertaking for Costs. 
 In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the
filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in the suit,
having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a Note pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by
Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of any Series. 
 Section 6.12 Remedies
Cumulative. 
 No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders of Notes of any Series is
intended to be exclusive of any other remedy or remedies, and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. No delay or
omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of the Notes of any Series to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Default or Event of Default shall impair any such 

  
 23 









 
right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Default or Event of Default or an acquiescence therein; and every power and remedy given by this Article 6 to the Trustee and to
the Holders of Notes of any Series, respectively, may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by the Trustee or by the Holders of Notes of such Series, as the case may be. In case the Trustee or any Holder of Notes of
any Series shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture and the proceedings for the enforcement thereof shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of waiver or for any other reason or shall have been adjudicated adversely to
the Trustee or to such Holder of Notes, then and in every such case the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes of such Series shall severally and respectively be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, and thereafter all
rights, remedies and powers of the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes of such Series shall continue as though no such proceedings had been taken, except as to any matters so waived or adjudicated. 

ARTICLE 7 

TRUSTEE 

Except as the context may otherwise indicate, references to “Trustee” in this Article 7 also include the Trustee when acting in
its capacity as Paying Agent or Registrar. 
 Section 7.01 Duties of Trustee. 

(a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee will exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs. 

(b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default with respect to any Series of Notes: 

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

 (2) in the absence of bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence on its part, the Trustee may
conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, the Trustee will
examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture. 
 (c)
Subject to Section 7.08, the Trustee may not be relieved from liabilities for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that: 

(1) this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section 7.01; 

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

  
 24 









 (3) the Trustee will not be liable with respect to any action it takes or
omits to take with respect to Notes of any Series in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.05 hereof, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee under this Indenture with respect to the
Notes of such Series. 
 (d) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture that in any way
relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b), and (c) of this Section 7.01. 
 (e) No provision of this
Indenture will require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or incur any liability. The Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights and powers under this Indenture at the request or demand of any Holders, unless the
Holders have offered to the Trustee security and indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense. 
 (f) The Trustee will not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Issuer. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other
funds except to the extent required by law. 
 Section 7.02 Rights of Trustee. 

(a) The Trustee may, except in the case of bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence conclusively rely upon any document
(including, without limitation, an Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document.

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

(c) The Trustee may act through its attorneys, agents, receivers and employees and will not be responsible for the misconduct or
negligence of any agent appointed with due care. 
 (d) The Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take
in good faith that it reasonably believes to be authorized or within the rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture; provided, however, that the Trustee’s conduct does not constitute bad faith, willful misconduct or
gross negligence. 
 (e) Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Indenture, any demand, request, direction or notice from
the Issuer will be sufficient if signed by an Officer. 
 (f) The Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the
rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity or security against the losses, liabilities and expenses that might be incurred by
it in compliance with such request or direction. 
 (g) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event
of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any Default or Event of Default is received by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and
such notice references the Notes and this Indenture. 

  
 25 









 (h) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee,
including its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and to each of its directors, officers, agents, custodians, employees and other Persons engaged to act hereunder.
This provision will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 
 (i) Whenever in the administration of this
Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may request, and in the absence
of bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence on its part, rely upon an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel. 
 (j) The Trustee may request that the Issuer deliver a certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this
Indenture, which 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. 

(k) Except for information provided by the Trustee concerning the Trustee, the Trustee shall have no responsibility for any information
in any prospectus or other disclosure material distributed with respect to the Notes, and the Trustee shall have no responsibility for compliance with any state or federal securities laws in connection with the issuance of the Notes, except as
expressly provided in this Indenture. 
 (l) In no event will the Trustee be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in
the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances,
nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of god, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services resulting from such forces; it being understood that the Trustee will use reasonable
efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances. 
 Section 7.03 Individual Rights of Trustee. 
 The Trustee in its
individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee
acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as trustee or resign. 
 Section 7.04 Trustee’s Disclaimer. 
 The Trustee will not be
responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the Issuer or upon the Issuer’s
direction under any provision of this Indenture, it will not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, it will not be responsible for any loss sustained in connection with any
investment of funds made by it in accordance with any terms of this Indenture, and it will not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the Notes or any other document in connection with the sale of the Notes or
pursuant to this Indenture other than its certificate of authentication. 

  
 26 









 Section 7.05 Notice of Defaults. 

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

 Section 7.06 Reports by Trustee to Holders of the Notes. 

(a) Within 60 days after each May 15 beginning with the May 15 following the date of this Indenture, and for so long as Notes
of a Series remain outstanding, the Trustee will mail to the Holders of such Notes a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA § 313(a) (but if no event described in TIA § 313(a) has occurred within the
twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also will comply with TIA § 313(b)(2). The Trustee will transmit by mail all reports as required by TIA § 313(c). 

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

Section 7.07 Compensation and Indemnity. 
 (a) The Issuer will pay to the Trustee from time to time compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder which shall have been agreed to from time to time by the Issuer and the
Trustee. The Trustee’s compensation will not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer will reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable and documented disbursements, advances and
expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses will include the reasonable and documented compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel and reasonable and
documented costs and expenses of collection. 
 (b) The Issuer will indemnify the Trustee against any and all losses,
liabilities or expenses incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture, including the reasonable and documented costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the
Issuer (including this Section 7.07) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Issuer, any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder,
except to the extent any such loss, liability or expense may be attributable to its bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence. The Trustee will notify the Issuer promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee
to so notify the Issuer will not relieve the Issuer of its obligations hereunder. The Issuer will defend the claim and the Trustee will cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuer will pay the reasonable and
documented fees and expenses of such counsel. The Issuer need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. 
 (c) The obligations of the Issuer under this Section 7.07 will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 

  
 27 









 (d) To secure the Issuer’s payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee
will have a lien prior to the Notes of a Series on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal and interest on particular Notes of such Series. Such lien will survive the satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture. 
 (e) When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in
Section 6.01(6) or (7) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

 (f) The Trustee will comply with the provisions of TIA § 313(b)(2) to the extent applicable. 

(g) In the event the Trustee receives inconsistent or conflicting requests and indemnity from two or more groups of holders of Notes,
each representing less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of a Series of Notes then outstanding, pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee, in its sole discretion, may determine what action, if any, shall be taken.

 Section 7.08 Replacement of Trustee. 
 (a) A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee will become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this
Section 7.08. 
 (b) The Trustee may resign with respect to the Notes of one or more Series in writing at any time and be
discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Issuer. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of a Series may remove the Trustee with respect to such Series by so notifying the Trustee and
the Issuer in writing. The Issuer may remove the Trustee with respect to the Notes of one or more Series if: 

(1) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof; 

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

 (4) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting with respect to its duties under this Indenture. 

(c) If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Issuer will promptly appoint
a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of a Series may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee
appointed by the Issuer with respect to such Series. 
 (d) If a successor Trustee with respect to the Notes of a Series does
not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Issuer, or the Holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of such Series may petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

  
 28 









 (e) If the Trustee with respect to the Notes of a Series, after written request by any
Holder of the applicable Series who has been a Holder for at least six months, fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof, such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a
successor Trustee. 
 (f) A successor Trustee will deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and
to the Issuer. Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee will become effective, and the successor Trustee will have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee with respect to each Series of Notes for which it is acting as
Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee will mail a notice of its succession to Holders of each such Series. The retiring Trustee will promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided all
sums owing to the retiring Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.07 hereof. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Issuer’s obligations under
Section 7.07 hereof will continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee with respect to expenses and liabilities incurred by it prior to such replacement. 
 Section 7.09 Successor Trustee by Merger, etc. 
 If the Trustee
consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another Person, the successor Person without any further act will be the successor Trustee. 

Section 7.10 Eligibility; Disqualification. 
 There will at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws
to exercise corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $100.0 million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of
condition. 
 This Indenture will always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA § 310(a)(1),
(2) and (5). The Trustee is subject to TIA § 310(b). 
 Section 7.11 Preferential Collection of Claims Against the
Issuer. 
 The Trustee is subject to TIA § 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA
§ 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA § 311(a) to the extent indicated therein. 
 ARTICLE 8 
 LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE 

Section 8.01 Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 

Unless this Section 8.01 is otherwise indicated to be inapplicable to the Notes of a particular Series by a Board Resolution, a
supplemental indenture or an Officer’s Certificate, the Issuer may at any time, at the option of its Board of Directors evidenced by a resolution set forth in an Officer’s Certificate, elect to have either Section 8.02 or
Section 8.03 hereof be applied to all outstanding Notes of a Series upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8. 

  
 29 









 Section 8.02 Legal Defeasance and Discharge. 

Unless this Section 8.02 is otherwise indicated to be inapplicable to the Notes of a particular Series by a Board Resolution, a
supplemental indenture or an Officer’s Certificate, upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Issuer will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in
Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes of such Series on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For
this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Issuer will be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes of such Series, which will thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the
purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (1) and (2) below, and to have satisfied all their other obligations under such Notes of such Series and this Indenture (and the
Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which will survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: 

(1) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes of such Series to receive payments in respect of the principal of or
premium, if any, or interest on such Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to in Section 8.04 hereof; 
 (2) the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Article 2 and Section 4.02 hereof; 
 (3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Issuer’s obligations in connection therewith; and 

(4) this Article 8. 
 Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Issuer may exercise its option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03 hereof. 

Section 8.03 Covenant Defeasance. 
 Unless this Section 8.03 is otherwise indicated to be inapplicable to the Notes of a particular Series by a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture or an Officer’s Certificate, upon the
Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Issuer will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from each of their
obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.05 and 4.06 and Section 5.01 hereof as well as any additional covenants for a particular Series of Notes contained in a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture or an Officer’s
Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.02(w) with respect to the outstanding Notes of such Series on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant
Defeasance”), and the Notes of such Series will thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders of such Series (and the consequences of any thereof) in
connection with such covenants, but will continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes will not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant
Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes of such Series, the Issuer may omit to comply with and will have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or
indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply will not constitute a Default or an
Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified 

  
 30 









 
above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes of such Series will be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option
applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Sections 6.01(3) through 6.01(5) hereof will not constitute Events of Default. 

Section 8.04 Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance. 
 In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance under either Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 hereof: 

(1) the Issuer must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of such Series, cash in
the currency in which such Notes are denominated, Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm, or firm of independent public
accountants, to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the outstanding Notes of such Series on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Issuer must specify whether the
Notes of such Series are being defeased to such stated date for payment or to a particular redemption date; 

(2) in the case of an election under Section 8.02 hereof, the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of
Counsel confirming that: 
 (A) the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal
Revenue Service a ruling; or 
 (B) since the date of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable
federal income tax law, 
 in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the
Holders of the outstanding Notes of such Series will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the
same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred; 
 (3) in the case of an
election under Section 8.03 hereof, the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that the Holders of the outstanding Notes of such Series will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a
result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred; 

(4) no Default or Event of Default with respect to Notes of such Series shall have occurred and be continuing on the date
of such deposit; 
 (5) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of,
or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument to which the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries is bound; 

(6) the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the
Issuer with the intent of preferring the Holders of Notes of such Series over the other creditors of the Issuer with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any creditors of the Issuer; and 

  
 31 









 (7) the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and
an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with. 
 Section 8.05 Deposited Money and Government Securities to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. 
 Subject to Section 8.06 hereof, all money and Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this
Section 8.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in respect of the outstanding Notes of such Series will be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this
Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including an Issuer acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal,
premium, if any, and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

The Issuer will pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or Government
Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes of such Series.

 Notwithstanding anything in this Article 8 to the contrary, subject to Section 7.07, the Trustee will deliver or pay to
the Issuer from time to time upon the request of the Issuer any money or Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a
written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(2) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance
or Covenant Defeasance. 
 Section 8.06 Repayment to Issuer. 

Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuer, in trust for the payment of the principal of or
premium, if any, or interest on any Note of such Series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuer on its request or (if then held by the Issuer) will be
discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note will thereafter be permitted to look only to the Issuer for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the
Issuer as trustee thereof, will thereupon cease. 
 Section 8.07 Reinstatement. 

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

 ARTICLE 9 
 AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER 
 Section 9.01 Without Consent of Holders of Notes.

 Unless otherwise indicated for a particular Series by a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture or an Officer’s
Certificate, notwithstanding Section 9.02 of this Indenture, the Issuer and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Notes of one or more Series without the consent of any Holder of such Notes in a form reasonably satisfactory
to the Trustee: 
 (1) to cure any ambiguity, defect, mistake or inconsistency; 

(2) to comply with Article 5; 
 (3) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes; 
 (4) to evidence the assumption of the Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes, by a successor thereto in the case of a consolidation or merger or a sale, assignment, transfer,
conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Issuer, taken as a whole; 
 (5) to comply with the provisions of any clearing agency, clearing corporation or clearing system, or the requirements of the Trustee or the registrar, relating to transfers and exchanges of the Notes
pursuant to this Indenture; 
 (6) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the
Holders of the Notes of a Series, that would surrender any right, power or option conferred by this Indenture on the Issuer or that does not adversely affect in any material respect the legal rights of any Holder of such Notes; 

(7) to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the
TIA; 
 (8) to conform the text of this Indenture (only with respect to such Series) or any Board Resolution,
supplemental indenture or Officer’s Certificate with respect to the Notes of such Series to the description of notes contained in the offering document pursuant to which such Notes were offered; 

(9) to provide for the issuance of and establish the form and terms and conditions of Notes of any Series as permitted by
this Indenture; 
 (10) in the case of subordinated Notes, to make any change in the provisions of this Indenture
or any supplemental indenture relating to subordination that would limit or terminate the benefits available to any holder of senior Indebtedness under such provisions; provided that such change is made in accordance with the provisions of
such senior Indebtedness; 

  
 33 









 (11) to add to, change or eliminate any of the provisions of this Indenture
with respect to Notes of a Series; although no such addition, change or elimination may apply to Notes of a Series created prior to the execution of such amendment and entitled to the benefit of such provision, nor may any such amendment modify the
rights of a Holder of any Note with respect to such provision, unless the amendment becomes effective only when there is no outstanding Note of a Series created prior to such amendment and entitled to the benefit of such provision; 

(12) to secure or provide guarantees of the Issuer’s obligations under the Notes and this Indenture; or 

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

Upon the request of the Issuer accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or
supplemental indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee will join with the Issuer in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture and make any further appropriate
agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained unless such amended or supplemental indenture directly and adversely affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee
may in its discretion, but will not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental Indenture. 
 Section 9.02 With Consent of
Holders of Notes. 
 (a) Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Issuer and the Trustee may amend or
supplement this Indenture and the Notes of a Series with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of such Series voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents
obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of
the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of such Series voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the
Notes). Sections 2.09 and 2.10 hereof shall determine which Notes are considered to be “outstanding” for purposes of this Section 9.02. 
 Upon the request of the Issuer accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, upon receipt by the Trustee of evidence
satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders of Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee will join with the Issuer in the execution of such amended or
supplemental indenture and make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained unless such amended or supplemental indenture directly and adversely affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under
this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but will not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental Indenture. 

  
 34 









 It is not necessary for the consent of the Holders of Notes under this Section 9.02 to
approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplemental indenture or waiver, but it is sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 
 After an amendment, supplemental indenture or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Issuer will mail to the Holders of Notes affected thereby a notice briefly describing the
amendment, supplemental indenture or waiver. Any failure of the Issuer to mail such notice, or any defect therein, will not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental indenture or waiver. 

(b) Unless otherwise indicated for a particular Series by a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture or an Officer’s Certificate,
without the consent of each Holder of Notes affected (whether in aggregate holding a majority in principal amount of Notes of such Series or not), an amendment, supplemental indenture or waiver may not be made that, as to any non-consenting Holder
of Notes: 
 (1) reduces the percentage of principal amount of outstanding Notes whose Holders must consent to an
amendment, supplemental indenture or waiver; 
 (2) reduces the rate of interest on any Note; 

(3) reduces the principal amount of or the premium, if any, on any Note or changes the Stated Maturity of any Note;

 (4) changes the place, manner, timing or currency of payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest
on, any Note;

of any Note that adversely affects the rights of any Holder under such provisions; 
 (6) reduces the principal
amount of Discount Notes payable upon acceleration of the maturity thereof; 
 (7) waives a Default or Event of
Default in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes (except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes of any Series by the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes of such Series
and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration); 
 (8) makes any change in the
provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders of Notes to receive payments of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes; 

(9) waives a redemption payment with respect to any Note or changes any of the provisions with respect to the redemption
of any Notes; 
 (10) makes any change in the amendment and waiver provisions of this Section 9.02(b); or

 (11) makes any change to the timing of payment of principal or interest on any Notes. 

  
 35 









 Section 9.03 Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. 

Every amendment or supplemental indenture to this Indenture or the Notes of one or more Series will be set forth in an amended or
supplemental indenture that complies with the TIA as then in effect. 
 Section 9.04 Revocation and Effect of Consents. 

Until an amendment, supplemental indenture or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by
the Holder of such Note and every subsequent Holder of such Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on such Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or
subsequent Holder of such Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplemental indenture or waiver becomes effective. An amendment, supplemental indenture or
waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder of each Series affected by such amendment, supplemental indenture or waiver unless it is of the type described in any of clauses (1) through (10) of
Section 9.02(b) (as such Section 9.02(b) may be amended or supplemented from time to time in accordance with this Indenture with respect to one or more Series of Notes), in which the amendment, supplemental indenture or waiver shall bind
each Holder of a Note who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note. 
 Section 9.05 Notation on or Exchange of Notes. 
 The Trustee may place
an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplemental indenture or waiver on any Note of such Series thereafter authenticated. The Issuer in exchange for all Notes of that Series may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication
Order, authenticate new Notes of that Series that reflect the amendment, supplemental indenture or waiver. 
 Failure to make
the appropriate notation or issue a new Note of that Series will not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplemental indenture or waiver. 
 Section 9.06 Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc. 
 The Trustee will sign
any amended or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplemental indenture does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. In executing any amended or supplemental
indenture in the absence of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct, the Trustee will be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) will be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by
Section 11.04 hereof, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. 

ARTICLE 10 

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE 

Section 10.01 Satisfaction and Discharge. 
 Unless otherwise indicated for a particular Series by a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture or an Officer’s Certificate, this Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further
effect (except as hereinafter provided in this Section 10.01) with respect to the Notes of a Series and the Trustee, at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as to
all Notes of such Series issued hereunder, when: 

  
 36

(a) all Notes of such Series that have been authenticated, except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes of such Series that have
been replaced or paid and Notes of such Series for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Issuer and thereafter repaid to the Issuer, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

 (b) all Notes of such Series that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation 

1. have become due and payable, 
 2. will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year,

 4. are deemed paid and discharged pursuant to Section 8.02 hereof, 

and the Issuer, in the case of 1, 2 or 3 above, has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in
trust solely for the benefit of the Holders of Notes of such Series, cash in the currency in which such Notes are denominated, Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, without consideration of any
reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on such Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, including all principal, premium, if any, and interest (in the case of Notes of such Series that have become due and
payable on or prior to the date of such deposit) or to the Stated Maturity or redemption date, as the case may be; 
 (2) the Issuer has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under this Indenture with respect to Notes of such Series; and 

(3) the Issuer has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under this Indenture to apply the deposited money

(1) of this Section 10.01, the provisions of Sections 2.04, 2.07, 2.08, 8.06 and 10.02 hereof and this Section 10.01 will survive. In addition, nothing in this Section 10.01 will be deemed to discharge those provisions of
Article 7 hereof, that, by their terms, survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to Notes of such Series. 

  
 37 









 Section 10.02 Application of Trust Money. 

Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.01 hereof with
respect to the Notes of a Series shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes of such Series and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuer acting as
its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal, premium, if any, and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other
funds except to the extent required by law. 
 Section 10.03 Reinstatement. 

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 10.01 or
Section 10.02 hereof by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Issuer’s obligations under this

Upon any request or application by the Issuer to the Trustee to take any action under this Indenture (other than in connection with the

 (1) a statement that the Person making such
certificate or opinion has read such covenant or condition; 
 (2) 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;

covenant or condition has been satisfied; and 
 (4) a statement as to whether or not, in the opinion of such
Person, such condition or covenant has been satisfied; provided that an Opinion of Counsel can rely as to matters of fact on an Officer’s Certificate or a certificate of a public official. 

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.
