 SECTION 102. Compliance Certificates and Opinions. 
 Upon any application or request by the Company to the Trustee to take any action under any provision of this Indenture, the Company shall furnish to the
Trustee such certificates and opinions as may be required under the Trust Indenture Act. Each such certificate or opinion shall be given in the form of an Officers’ Certificate, if to be given by an officer of the Company, or an Opinion of
Counsel, if to be given by counsel, and shall comply with the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act and any other requirements set forth in this Indenture. 
 Every certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture shall include, 
 (1) a statement that each individual signing such certificate or opinion has read such covenant or condition and the definitions herein
relating thereto; 
 (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; 
 (3) a statement that, in the opinion of each
such individual, he has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable him to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with; and 
 (4) a statement as to whether, in the opinion of each such individual, such condition or covenant has been complied with. 
 SECTION 103. Form of Documents Delivered to Trustee. 
 In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one
such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or
give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents. 
 Any certificate or opinion of an officer of the Company may be based,
insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect
to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate or opinion of counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or
officers of the Company stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Company, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or
representations with respect to such matters are erroneous. 
 Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more
applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument. 
  

 -15- 








 SECTION 104. Acts of Holders; Record Dates. 
 Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given, made or taken
by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall
become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes
referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject
to Section 601) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section. 
 The fact and date
of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying
that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute
sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient. 
 The ownership of Securities shall be proved by the Security Register. 
 Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Security and the Holder of every Security issued upon the
registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such
Security. 
 The Company may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series
entitled to give, make or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given, made or taken by Holders of Securities of such series, provided that
the Company may not set a record date for, and the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply with respect to, the giving or making of any notice, declaration, request or direction referred to in the next paragraph. If any record date is set
pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to take the relevant action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date;
provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date. Nothing in this
paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Company from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no
action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on the date
such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Company, at its own expense, shall 

  

 -16- 








 
cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Trustee in writing and to each Holder
of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 106. 
 The Trustee may set any day as a record date for
the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series entitled to join in the giving or making of (i) any Notice of Default, (ii) any declaration of acceleration referred to in Section 502, (iii) any
request to institute proceedings referred to in Section 507(2) or (iv) any direction referred to in Section 512, in each case with respect to Securities of such series. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders
of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date;
provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date.
Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Trustee from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall
automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the
relevant series on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee, at the Company’s expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable
Expiration Date to be given to the Company in writing and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 106. 
 With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto which sets such record dates may designate any day as the “Expiration Date” and from time to time may change the
Expiration Date to any earlier or later day; provided that no such change shall be effective unless notice of the proposed new Expiration Date is given to the other party hereto in writing, and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant
series in the manner set forth in Section 106, on or prior to the existing Expiration Date. If an Expiration Date is not designated with respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto which set such record date shall
be deemed to have initially designated the 180th day after such record date as the Expiration Date with respect thereto, subject to its right to change the Expiration Date as provided in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Expiration
Date shall be later than the 180th day after the applicable record date. 
 Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to
take any action hereunder with regard to any particular Security may do so with regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such Security or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with
regard to all or any part of such principal amount. 
 SECTION 105. Notices, Etc., to Trustee and Company. 
 Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be
made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with, 
  

 -17- 








 (1) the Trustee by any Holder or by the Company shall be sufficient for every purpose
hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, or 
 (2) the
Company by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Company addressed to it at the address of its
principal office specified in the first paragraph of this instrument or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company. 
 SECTION 106. Notice to Holders; Waiver. 
 Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any
event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not
later than the latest date (if any), and not earlier than the earliest date (if any), prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any
notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such
notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in
reliance upon such waiver. 
 In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be
impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder. 
 SECTION 107. Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. 
 If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with a provision of the Trust Indenture Act which is required under such Act to be a part of and govern this Indenture, the latter provision shall control. If any
provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act which may be so modified or excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to apply to this Indenture as so modified or to be excluded, as the case may be.

 SECTION 108. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. 
 The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof. 
 SECTION 109. Successors and Assigns. 
 All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Company shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. 
  

 -18- 








 SECTION 110. Separability Clause. 
 In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Securities shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the
remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 
 SECTION 111. Benefits of Indenture. 
 Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder
and the Holders, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture. 
 SECTION 112. Governing Law.

 This Indenture and the Securities shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. 
 SECTION 113. No Personal Liability 
 No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Company or Parent will have any liability for any obligations of the Company or Parent under the Securities, this Indenture or the Support Agreement, or for any claim based
on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability, and such waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of such Security. 

SECTION 114. Legal Holidays. 
 In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity of any Security shall not be a Business Day at the Place of Payment, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the Securities (other
than a provision of any Security which specifically states that such provision shall apply in lieu of this Section)) payment of interest or principal (and premium, if any) need not be made at the Place of Payment on such date, but may be made on the
next succeeding Business Day at the Place of Payment with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date, or at the Stated Maturity. 
 ARTICLE TWO 
 SECURITY FORMS 
 SECTION 201. Forms Generally. 
 (a) The Securities of each series shall be in substantially the form set forth in this Article, or in such other form as shall be established by or pursuant to a Board Resolution or in one or more indentures supplemental hereto, in each
case with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by this Indenture, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon
as may be required to comply with the rules of any securities exchange or Depositary therefor or as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the officers executing such Securities, as evidenced by their execution thereof. If the form of
Securities of any series is 

  

 -19- 








 
established by action taken pursuant to a Board Resolution, a copy of an appropriate record of such action shall be certified by the Secretary or an
Assistant Secretary of the Company and delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Company Order contemplated by Section 303 for the authentication and delivery of such Securities. 
 The definitive Securities shall be printed, lithographed or engraved on steel engraved borders or may be produced in any other manner, all as determined
by the officers executing such Securities, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities. 
 (b)(i) Securities of a series offered and
sold in their initial distribution in reliance on Regulation S shall be initially issued in the form of one or more temporary Global Securities, in fully registered form without interest coupons, substantially in the form of Security set forth
in Sections 202 and 203, with such applicable legends as are provided for in Sections 202 and 204. Such Global Securities shall be registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee, and deposited with the Trustee, at its New York
offices, as custodian for the Depositary, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided, for credit to the respective accounts at the Depositary of the depositories for Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V., as operator of
Euroclear and for Clearstream, for credit to the respective accounts of owners of beneficial interests in such Securities or to such other accounts as they may direct. Such temporary Global Securities shall be referred to herein as
“Temporary Regulation S Global Securities”. On or after the termination of the Restricted Period, interests in any Temporary Regulation S Global Security of a series shall be exchangeable for corresponding interests in an
unrestricted Permanent Regulation S Global Security of the same series (each a “Permanent Regulation S Global Security”) in fully registered form without interest coupons, substantially in the form set forth in Sections 202 and 203,
with such applicable legends as are provided for in Sections 202 and 204 and in accordance with the immediately following paragraph. 
 (ii) Interests in a Temporary Regulation S Global Security of a series may be exchanged for interests in a Permanent Regulation S Global Security of the same series only on or after the termination of the Restricted Period with respect to
such securities after delivery by a beneficial owner of an interest therein to Euroclear or Clearstream of a written certification (an “Owner Securities Certification”) substantially in the form of Annex C-1 hereto, and upon
delivery by Euroclear or Clearstream to the Trustee of a written certification (a “Depository Securities Certification”) substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex C-2. Upon receipt of such certification, the Trustee shall
exchange the portion of the Temporary Regulation S Global Security covered by such certification for interests in a Permanent Regulation S Global Security. 
 Upon: 
  

	 	(A)	the expiration of the Restricted Period, 

  

	 	(B)	receipt by Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, and the Paying Agent of the certificates described in the preceding paragraph, 

  

	 	(C)	receipt by the Depositary of 

  

	 	(a)	 written instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures from an Agent Member directing the Depositary to credit or cause to be credited to a
specified Agent Member’s account a beneficial interest in 



  

 -20- 









	 	 
the Permanent Regulation S Global Security in a principal amount equal to that of the beneficial interest in the Temporary Regulation S Global Security for
which the necessary certificates have been delivered, and 


  

	 	(b)	a written order given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the account of the Agent Member, and the Euroclear or Clearstream account for
which such Agent Member’s account is held, to be credited with, and the account of the Agent Member to be debited for, such beneficial interest, and 

  

	 	(D)	receipt by the Trustee of notification from the Depositary of the transactions described in (C) above, 

 the Trustee, as Security Registrar, shall instruct the Depositary to reduce the principal amount of the Temporary Regulation S Global Security and to increase the
principal amount of the Permanent Regulation S Global Security, by the principal amount of the beneficial interest in such Temporary Regulation S Global Security to be so transferred, and to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the
Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Permanent Regulation S Global Security having a principal amount equal to the amount by which the principal amount of the Temporary Regulation S Global Security was reduced upon such
transfer. The aggregate principal amount of a Permanent Regulation S Global Security of a series may be increased or decreased from time to time by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary, in connection with a
corresponding decrease or increase in the aggregate principal amount, as hereinafter provided. 
 (iii) Until such time as the Restricted
Period shall have terminated, investors may hold interests in the Regulation S Temporary Global Security only through Euroclear and Clearstream, unless delivery of such beneficial interest upon transfer shall be made through a Rule 144A Global
Security in accordance with the certification requirements discussed below in Section 305(b)(v). 
 (c) Securities of a series offered
and sold in their initial distribution in reliance on Rule 144A shall be issued in the form of one or more Global Securities (each, a “Rule 144A Global Security”), in fully registered form without interest coupons,
substantially in the form of Security set forth in Sections 202 and 203 with such applicable legends as are provided for in Sections 202 and 204, except as otherwise permitted herein. Such Global Securities shall be registered in the name
of the Depositary or its nominee and deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided, for credit to the respective accounts of owners of beneficial
interests in such Securities or to such other accounts as they may direct. The aggregate principal amount of a Rule 144A Global Security of a series may be increased or decreased from time to time by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee,

such applicable legends as are provided for in Sections 202 and 204, except as otherwise permitted herein. Such Global Securities shall be registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee and deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for the

                    , and on any earlier date of redemption,] at the rate of         % per
annum, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment. Interest on this Security shall be computed assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. [If Original Securities are not also Registered Securities,
then insert, as appropriate, – provided, however, that if (i) the Company has not filed a registration statement (the “Exchange Registration Statement”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities Act”), to register a security substantially identical to this Security (except that such Security shall not contain terms with respect to the Special Interest payments described below or transfer restrictions) pursuant
to an exchange offer (the “Exchange Offer”) no later than              days after the closing of the issuance of this Security, or (ii) the Exchange

succeeded immediately by an additional registration statement filed and declared effective or (v) any Suspension Period exceeds 45 days in any 90-day period or 90 days in the aggregate during any consecutive 12-month period (each such event
referred to in clauses (i) through (v), a “Registration Default” and each period during which a Registration Default occurred and is continuing, a “Registration Default Period”), then Special Interest shall

 Whenever in this Security or in the Indenture there is a reference, in any context, to the payment of the
principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any Security of this series, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Special Interest (if applicable) payable as described in the preceding paragraph to the extent that, in
such context, Special Interest is, was or would be payable in respect of such Security, and express mention of the payment of Special Interest (if applicable) in any provisions of this Security shall not be construed as excluding Special Interest in

Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee,
notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities of this series not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on
which the Securities of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture.]

exchange for this Security shall cease to be payable to the Holder hereof but such accrued and unpaid interest (including Special Interest) shall be payable on the next Interest Payment Date for such Exchange Security to the Holder thereof on the
related Regular Record Date.] 
 [If the Security is not to bear interest prior to Maturity, insert – The principal of this
Security shall not bear interest except in the case of a default in payment of principal upon acceleration, upon redemption or at Stated Maturity (as defined in the Indenture) and in such case the overdue principal and any overdue premium shall bear
interest at the rate of             % per annum (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), from the dates such amounts are due until they are
paid or made available for payment. Interest on any overdue principal or premium shall be payable on demand.]

part, at the request of the Representative of a deceased Beneficial Owner of such Security pursuant to a Redemption Request in the form attached hereto as Annex A, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Security to
be redeemed, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date, if any, but interest installments whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to such Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holder of such Security, or one or more Predecessor
Securities, of record at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates referred to on the face hereof, all as provided in the Indenture. 
 Any such redemption by the Representative of a deceased Beneficial Owner will be subject to the limitations and conditions that the Company will not be obligated to redeem, during the period from the Issue Date through and including
                    , 20     (the “Initial Period”), and, during any twelve-month period that ends on and
includes each                      thereafter (each such twelve-month period being hereinafter referred to as a “Subsequent
Period”), (i) Securities of this series with an aggregate principal amount in excess of $25,000 from the Representative of any deceased Beneficial Owner or (ii) Securities of this series exceeding
$             in aggregate principal amount from the Representatives of all deceased Beneficial Owners. 
 The Company may, at its option, redeem any deceased Beneficial Owner’s Securities in the Initial Period or any Subsequent Period in excess of $25,000. Any such redemption, to the extent that it exceeds the
$25,000 limitation for the Representative of any deceased Beneficial Owner, shall not be included in the computation of the $              limitation for the Representatives of all
deceased Beneficial Owners for the applicable period or for any succeeding Subsequent Period. The Company may, at its option, also redeem deceased Beneficial Owners’ Notes in the Initial Period or in any Subsequent Period in an aggregate
principal amount exceeding $             Any such redemption, to the extent it exceeds the $             
limitation for the Representatives of all deceased Beneficial Owners, shall not reduce the $              limitation for all such Representatives for the applicable period or any
Subsequent Period. On any determination by the Company to redeem Securities of this series in excess of the $25,000 limitation for the Representative of any deceased Beneficial Owner or the $
             limitation for the Representatives of all deceased Beneficial Owners, Securities of this series so redeemed shall be redeemed in the order of the receipt of Redemption
Requests by the Trustee. 
 Subject to the $25,000 individual limitation and the
$             aggregate limitation, the Company will, after the death of any Beneficial Owner, redeem the Securities on the
                    ,
                    ,
                     or
                     (each, a “Quarterly Redemption Date”) occurring not less than 30 days following receipt by the
Company of a Redemption Request from the Trustee. If a Redemption Request exceeds the $25,000 individual limitation, or if all Redemption Requests exceed the $             aggregate
limitation during the applicable period, then the excess Redemption Requests will be applied in the order received by the Trustee to successive Subsequent Periods, regardless of the number of Subsequent Periods required to redeem the Securities to
which such Redemption Requests relate. The Company may, at any time, notify the Trustee that it will redeem, on the next Quarterly Redemption Date occurring not less than 30 days after that notice, all or any lesser amount of Securities for
which Redemption Requests have been received but which are not then eligible for redemption by reason of the $25,000 individual limitation or the $              aggregate limitation.
Any Securities so redeemed shall be redeemed in the order of receipt of Redemption Requests by the Trustee. 
  

 -25- 








 Subject to arrangements with the Depositary, payment for the Securities to be redeemed on any date shall
be made to the Depositary upon presentation of Securities to the Trustee for redemption in the aggregate principal amount specified in the Redemption Requests submitted to the Trustee by the Depositary which are to be fulfilled on that date. The
principal amount of any Securities acquired or redeemed by the Company other than by redemption at the option of any Representative of a deceased Beneficial Owner pursuant to the foregoing paragraphs shall not be included in the computation of
either the $25,000 individual limitation or the $              aggregate limitation for the Initial Period or for any Subsequent Period.] 
 [If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs at any time, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Securities of this series, Holders
of Securities of this series will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of their Securities of this series pursuant to the offer described below (the
“Change of Control Offer”) on the terms set forth herein. In the Change of Control Offer, the Company will be required to offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series repurchased
plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Securities of this series repurchased, to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, the Company will be
required to mail a notice to Holders of Securities of this series describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase the Securities of this series on the date specified in the
notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), pursuant to the procedures required herein and described in the notice. The
Company must comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Securities of
this series as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions of the Securities of this series, the Company will be required to
comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control provisions of the Securities of this series by virtue of such conflicts. 
 On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will be required, to the extent lawful, to (i) accept for payment all Securities of this series
or portions of Securities of this series properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; (ii) deposit with the paying agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Securities of this series or portions of
Securities of this series properly tendered and (iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Securities of this series properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of
Securities of this series or portions of Securities of this series being purchased. 
 The paying agent will promptly pay to each holder of
Securities of this series properly tendered the purchase price for the Securities of this series, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each holder a new Security equal in principal amount
to any unpurchased portion of any Securities of this series surrendered; provided that each new Security will be in a principal amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. 
  

 -26- 








 The Company will not be required to make an offer to repurchase the Securities of this series upon a
Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and that third party purchases all Securities of this series
properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.] 
 [In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or
Securities of this series and of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.] 
 The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire indebtedness of this Security or certain restrictive covenants and Events of Default with respect to this Security, in each case upon
compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture. 
 If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall
occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. 
 The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each
series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also
contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with
certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this
Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security. 
 As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with
respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of
this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and
offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have
failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal
hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein. 
  

 -27- 








 No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or
impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. 
 As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register,
upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series and of like tenor, of
authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 
 The
Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series
are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. 
 No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 
 Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer,
the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee
nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall
have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. 
 THIS SECURITY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF.

 SECTION 303. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. 
 The Securities shall be executed on
behalf of the Company by its Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer or one of its Vice Presidents. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile. 
 Securities bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company,
notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities. 
 At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series executed by the
Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with the Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. If the form or
terms of the Securities of the series have been established by or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions as permitted by Sections 201 and 301, in authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this
Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall receive, and (subject to Section 601) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating, 
 (1) if the form of such Securities has been established by or pursuant to Board Resolution as permitted by Section 201, that such
form has been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; 
 (2) if the terms of such Securities have
been established by or pursuant to Board Resolution as permitted by Section 301, that such terms have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and

conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and
similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles. 
 If such form or terms have been so
established, the Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Securities if the issue of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or
otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. 
  

 -34- 








 Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 301 and of the preceding paragraph, in the case of any
Additional Securities or Exchange Securities of a series, it shall not be necessary to deliver the Officers’ Certificate otherwise required pursuant to Section 301 or the Company Order and Opinion of Counsel otherwise required pursuant to
such preceding paragraph at or prior to the authentication of each Additional Security or Exchange Security of such series if such documents are delivered at or prior to the authentication upon original issuance of the first Original Security of
such series to be issued. 
 Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. 
 No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a
certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly
authenticated and delivered hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for
cancellation as provided in Section 309, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. 
 Holders of the Securities and the Trustee are entitled to the benefits of the Support Agreement available to Lenders (as defined in the Support
Agreement), it being understood and agreed that the Securities constitute Debt (as defined in the Support Agreement) for purposes of the Support Agreement. 
 SECTION 304. Temporary Securities. 
 Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series,
the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the
tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such
Securities. 
 If temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities of that series to be prepared
without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities of such series, the temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities of such series upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such
series at the office or agency of the Company in the Place of Payment for that series, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any series, the Company shall execute and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor one or more definitive Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of any series
shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series and tenor. 
  

 -35- 








 SECTION 305. Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange; Certain Transfers and Exchanges.

 (a) Registration, Restriction of Transfer and Exchange, Generally. The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office
of the Trustee a register (the register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency of the Company in the Place of Payment being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject
to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Securities and of transfers of Securities. The Trustee is hereby appointed “Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering
Securities and transfers of Securities as herein provided. 
 Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of a series at the
office or agency of the Company in the Place of Payment for that series, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of the same
series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount. 
 Subject to this Section 305(a) and
Section 305(b), at the option of the Holder, Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Securities
to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

 All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company,
evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 
 Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. 
 Successive registrations and registrations of transfers and exchanges as aforesaid may be made from time to time as desired, and each such registration shall be noted on the Security Register. No service charge shall be made for any
registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities,
other than exchanges pursuant to Section 304, 906 or 1107 not involving any transfer. 
 If the Securities of any series (or of any
series and specified tenor) are to be redeemed in part, the Company shall not be required (A) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Securities of that series (or of that series and specified tenor, as the case may be) during a
period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of any such Securities selected for redemption under Section 1103 and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing,
or (B) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part.

Security or any portion thereof, whether pursuant to this Section, Section 304, 306, 906 or 1107 or otherwise, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Security, unless such Security is registered in the name
of a Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof.

rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Security, or under any Global Security, and the Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the
absolute owner and holder of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written
certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, or impair, as between the Depositary, its Agent Members and any other person on whose behalf an Agent Member may act, the operation of

that series but is not itself a Global Security pursuant to Section 305(a). No transfer of a Security of a series to any Person shall be effective under this Indenture or the Securities unless and until such Security has been registered in the

having a principal amount equal to the amount by which the principal amount of the Rule 144A Global Security was reduced upon such transfer.

outstanding) only in accordance with such procedures, which shall be substantially consistent with the provisions of clauses (i) through (vi) above and (viii) below (including the certification requirements intended to insure that
transfers and exchanges of beneficial interests in a Global Security comply with Rule 144A, Rule 144 (if available) or Regulation S, as the case may be) and any Applicable Procedures, as may be from time to time adopted by the Company
and the Trustee; provided that except as permitted in (3) hereof, no beneficial interest in a Temporary Regulation S Global Security shall be exchangeable for a definitive Security until the expiration of the Restricted Period and then

held by it for one or more Restricted Securities of that series (including an interest in the Rule 144A Global Security of that series) upon delivery by such initial purchaser of instructions for such exchange substantially in the form of
Annex E. Upon receipt of the instruction described in the preceding sentence, the Trustee shall instruct the Depositary to reduce the principal amount of a Temporary Regulation S Global Security by the principal amount of the beneficial
interest in such Temporary Regulation S Global Security to be so transferred and either (A) the Trustee shall instruct the Depositary to increase the principal amount of the Rule 144A Global Security and credit or cause to be credited to the
account of such initial purchaser a beneficial interest in such Rule 144A Global Security having a principal amount equal to the amount by which the principal amount of the Temporary Regulation S Global Security was reduced upon such transfer or
(B) authenticate and deliver one or more Restricted Securities in definitive form and in the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Temporary Regulation S Global Security to be so transferred, pursuant to the instructions
described in the first sentence of this paragraph. 
 (viii) Interests in Temporary Regulation S Global Security to be Held Through
Euroclear or Clearstream. Until the termination of the Restricted Period, interests in the Temporary Regulation S Global Securities may be held only through Agent Members acting for and on behalf of Euroclear and Clearstream,
provided that this clause (viii) shall not prohibit any transfer in accordance with Section 305(b)(v) hereof. 
 (ix) In
addition to the foregoing, the Trustee, as Security Registrar, shall effect and register, upon receipt of a written request from the Company to do so, a transfer not otherwise permitted by this Section 305(b), such registration to be done in
accordance with the otherwise applicable provisions of this Section 305, upon the furnishing by the proposed transferor or transferee of a written opinion of counsel (which opinion and counsel are satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee) to
the effect that, and such other certifications or information as the Company or the Trustee may require to confirm that, the proposed transfer is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration
requirements of the Securities Act. The Company may require such transfer to be effected by the issuance of certificated Securities. 
 (c)
Securities Act Legends. Restricted Securities and their Successor Securities shall bear the legends required by Sections 202 and 204, subject to the following: 
 (i) subject to the following Clauses of this Section 305(c), a Security of a series or any portion thereof which is exchanged, upon transfer or
otherwise, for a Global Security of that series or any portion thereof shall bear the Securities Act Legend borne by such Global Security while represented thereby; 
  

 -41- 








 (ii) subject to the following Clauses of this Section 305(c), a new Security of a series which is
not a Global Security and is issued in exchange for another Security of that series (including a Global Security) or any portion thereof, upon transfer or otherwise, shall bear the Securities Act Legend borne by such other Security, provided
that, if such new Security is required pursuant to Section 305(b)(v) to be issued in the form of a Restricted Security, it shall bear a Restricted Securities Legend and, if such new Security is so required to be issued in the form of a
Regulation S Security, it shall bear a Regulation S Legend; 
 (iii) Registered Securities and Regulation S Securities that
are not Temporary Regulations S Securities shall not bear a Securities Act Legend; 
 (iv) at any time after the Securities of a series may
be freely transferred without registration under the Securities Act or without being subject to transfer restrictions pursuant to the Securities Act, a new Security of that series which does not bear a Securities Act Legend may be issued in exchange
for or in lieu of a Security of that series (other than a Global Security) or any portion thereof which bears such a legend if the Trustee has received an Unrestricted Securities Certificate, satisfactory to the Trustee and duly executed by the
Holder of such legended Security or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and after such date and receipt of such certificate, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver such a new Security in exchange for or in lieu of such other Security as
provided in this Article Three; 
 (v) a new Security of a series which does not bear a Securities Act Legend may be issued in exchange for
or in lieu of a Security of that series (other than a Global Security) or any portion thereof which bears such a legend if, in the Company’s judgment, placing such a legend upon such new Security is not necessary to ensure compliance with the
registration requirements of the Securities Act, and the Trustee, at the direction of the Company, shall authenticate and deliver such a new Security as provided in this Article Three; and 
 (vi) notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 305(c), a Successor Security of a Security of a series that does not bear a particular
form of Securities Act Legend shall not bear such form of legend unless the Company has reasonable cause to believe that such Successor Security is a “restricted security” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, in
which case the Trustee, at the direction of the Company, shall authenticate and deliver a new Security of that series bearing a Restricted Securities Legend in exchange for such Successor Security as provided in this Article Three. 
 SECTION 306. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities. 
 If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal
amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 
 If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee
(i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security and (ii) such security or indemnity as 

  

 -42- 








 
may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such
Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal
amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 
 In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become
or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security. 
 Upon the
issuance of any new Security under this Section, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of
the Trustee) connected therewith. 
 Every new Security of any series issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or
stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this
Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of that series duly issued hereunder. 
 The provisions of this
Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities. 
 SECTION 307. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved. 
 Interest on any Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is
registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest. 
 Any interest on any Security of any series which is
payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having
been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in Clause (1) or (2) below: 
 (1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a
Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security of such series and
the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to
the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this Clause provided. Thereupon the 

  

 -43- 








 
Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior
to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of
the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be given to each Holder of Securities of such series in the manner set forth in Section 106, not less than 10 days
prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such
series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following Clause (2). 
 (2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Securities of any series in any other lawful manner not inconsistent
with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this Clause,
such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. 
 Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Security
delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security. 
 SECTION 308. Persons Deemed Owners. 
 Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, and subject to Section 1108, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Security is registered as
the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and any premium and (subject to Section 307) any interest on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and
neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 SECTION 309.
Cancellation. 
 All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange or for credit against any
sinking fund payment shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously
authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated
hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section,
except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Securities held by the Trustee shall be disposed of in accordance with the Trustee’s customary procedures.

elsewhere in this Section specifically dealt with or which has expressly been included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of series of Securities other than that series), and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 60 days after
there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company and Parent by the Trustee or to the Company, Parent and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series a written
notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder; provided, however, that except with respect to defaults under or breaches of
Section 1008 of this Indenture, the Trustee, or the Trustee and the Holders of Securities will be deemed to have agreed to an extension of such 60-day period to 120 days so long as corrective action is initiated by the Company or Parent
within such 60-day period and such corrective action is being diligently pursued; or 
 (6) default under any mortgage,
indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or Parent (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Company or Parent), if that default is
caused by a failure to pay principal at its stated maturity after giving effect to any applicable grace period, or results in the acceleration of such indebtedness prior to its stated maturity and, in each case, the principal amount of such
indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other indebtedness under which there has been a payment default after stated maturity or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $100,000,000 or more; or 
 (7) the Company or Parent (i) is generally not paying, or admits in writing its inability to pay, its debts as they become due,

or any other petition in bankruptcy or for liquidation or to take advantage of any bankruptcy or insolvency law of any jurisdiction, or ordering the dissolution, winding-up or liquidation of the Company or Parent, as the case may be, or any such
petition shall be filed against the Company or Parent, as the case may be, and such petition shall not be dismissed within sixty (60) days; or

extent not paid or insured) in excess of $100,000,000 are rendered against the Company or Parent and which judgments are not, within sixty (60) days after entry thereof, bonded, discharged or stayed pending appeal, or are not discharged within
sixty (60) days after the expiration of such stay; or 
 (10) except as permitted pursuant to the terms of this
Indenture, any provision of the Support Agreement shall cease for any reason to be in full force or effect, or Parent contests in any manner the validity or enforceability of any such provision or any Person acting on Parent’s behalf shall deny
or disaffirm Parent’s obligations under the Support Agreement. 
 SECTION 502. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and
Annulment. 
 If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 501(7) or 501(8)) with respect to
Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series may declare the principal amount of
all the Securities of that series (or, if any Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount of such Securities as may be specified by the terms thereof) to be due and payable immediately, by a
notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount) shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 501(7) or
501(8) with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs, the principal amount of all the Securities of that series (or, if any Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal
amount of such Securities as may be specified by the terms thereof) shall automatically, and without any declaration or other action on the part of the Trustee or any Holder, become immediately due and payable. 
 At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to Securities of any series has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment
of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series, by written notice to the Company, Parent and the Trustee, may
rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if 
 (1) the Company or the Parent has paid or deposited with the
Trustee a sum sufficient to pay 
 (A) all overdue interest on all Securities of that series, 
 (B) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Securities of that series which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of
acceleration and any interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, 
 (C) to the extent that
payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and 
  

 -48- 








 (D) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel; 
 and 
 (2) all Events of Default with respect to Securities of that series, other than the non-payment of the principal of Securities of that
series which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 513. 
 No
such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 SECTION 503. Collection of Indebtedness and
Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. 
 The Company covenants that if 
 (1) default is made in the payment of any interest on any Security when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues
for a period of 30 days, or 
 (2) default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any
Security at the Maturity thereof, 
 the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole
amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal and any premium and interest and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal and premium and on any overdue interest, at
the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances
of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. 
 If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series occurs and is continuing, the
Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such
rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or the Support Agreement or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy. 
 SECTION 504. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 
 In case of any judicial proceeding relative to the Company or Parent (or any other obligor upon the Securities), the property or the creditors of the Company, Parent or such other obligor, the Trustee shall be
entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to take any and all actions authorized under the Trust Indenture Act in order to have claims of the Holders and the Trustee allowed in any such proceeding. In particular, the
Trustee shall be authorized to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official
in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to 

  

 -49- 








 
the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 607. 
 No provision of this
Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof
or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding; provided, however, that the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders, vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a
member of a creditors’ or other similar committee. 
 SECTION 505. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of
Securities. 
 All rights of action and claims under this Indenture, the Support Agreement or the Securities may be prosecuted and
enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust,
and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in respect
of which such judgment has been recovered. 
 SECTION 506. Application of Money Collected. 
 Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in
case of the distribution of such money on account of principal or any premium or interest, upon presentation of the Securities and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid: 
 FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 607; and 
 SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of and any premium and interest on the Securities in respect of
which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Securities for principal and any premium and interest, respectively. 

SECTION 507. Limitation on Suits. 
 No Holder of any Security of any series shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless

 (1) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the
Securities of that series; 
 (2) the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that
series shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder; 
  

 -50- 








 (3) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity against the
costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request; 
 (4) the Trustee for 60 days after its
receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and 
 (5) no direction
inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series; 
 it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this
Indenture or the Support Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture or the
Support Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all of such Holders. 
 SECTION 508.
Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture,
(1) the Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and any premium and (subject to Section 307) interest on such Security on the respective Stated Maturities
expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder; and (2) the Holder of
any Security shall be considered a Lender (as defined in the Support Agreement) and shall have all rights of a Lender set forth therein. 
 SECTION 509. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. 
 If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any
right or remedy under this Indenture or the Support Agreement and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any
determination in such proceeding, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as
though no such proceeding had been instituted. 
 SECTION 510. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. 
 Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of
Section 306, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in
addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or
employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 
  

 -51- 








 SECTION 511. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. 
 No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Securities to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any
such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be
deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be. 
 SECTION 512. Control by Holders. 
 The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Securities of such series, provided that 
 (1) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, and 
 (2) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction. 
 SECTION 513. Waiver of Past Defaults. 
 The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series waive any past default hereunder with respect to such series and its
consequences, except a default 
 (1) in the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any Security of such
series (other than the non-payment of principal or interest on such Securities that become due solely because of the acceleration of such Securities), or 
 (2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article Nine cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of such series affected. 
 Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose
of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 SECTION 514.
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, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, a court may require any party litigant in such suit to file an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and may assess costs against any such party litigant, in the manner and to
the extent provided in the Trust Indenture Act; provided that neither this Section nor the Trust Indenture Act shall be deemed to authorize any court to require such an undertaking or to make such an assessment in any suit instituted by the
Trustee or the Company. 
  

 -52- 








 SECTION 515. Waiver of Usury, Stay or Extension Laws. 
 The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or
take the benefit or advantage of, any usury, stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do
so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as
though no such law had been enacted. 
 ARTICLE SIX 
 THE TRUSTEE 
 SECTION 601. Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

 The duties and responsibilities of the Trustee shall be as provided by the Trust Indenture Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision
of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable
grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or
affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section. 
 SECTION 602.
Notice of Defaults. 
 If a default occurs hereunder with respect to Securities of any series, the Trustee shall give the Holders of
Securities of such series notice of such default as and to the extent provided by the Trust Indenture Act; provided, however, that in the case of any default of the character specified in Section 501(5) with respect to Securities of such
series, no such notice to Holders shall be given until at least 30 days after the occurrence thereof. Except in the case of a default in payment of the principal of or interest on any Security (including payments pursuant to a redemption or
repurchase of the Securities pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture), the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as the Trustee in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Holders. For the purpose of
this Section, the term “default” means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to Securities of such series. 
 SECTION 603. Certain Rights of Trustee. 
 Subject to the provisions of Section 601: 
 (1) the Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or
refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document believed by it to be
genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties; 
  

 -53- 








 (2) any request or direction of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently
evidenced by a Company Request or Company Order, and any resolution of the Board of Directors shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution; 
 (3) 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, in the absence of bad faith on its part, rely upon an Officers’ Certificate; 
 (4) the Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it
hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon; 
 (5) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights
or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities
which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction; 
 (6) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any
investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but
the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the
books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney; 
 (7) the Trustee may execute any of the
trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by
it hereunder; 
 (8) the Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any default or Event of Default unless a responsible
officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Securities and this
Indenture; 
 (9) the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without
limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder; and 
 (10) the Trustee may request that the Company deliver a certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers
authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture. 
  

 -54- 








 For the purpose of this Section, the term “default” means any event which is, or after notice
or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to Securities of such series. 
 SECTION 604. Not Responsible for
Recitals or Issuance of Securities. 
 The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee’s certificates of
authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent assumes any responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this
Indenture, the Support Agreement or of the Securities. Neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for the use or application by the Company of Securities or the proceeds thereof. 
 SECTION 605. May Hold Securities. 
 The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Security Registrar or any other agent of the Company, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and, subject to Sections 608 and 613,
may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Security Registrar or such other agent. 
 SECTION 606. Money Held in Trust. 
 Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be
segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed with the Company. 
 SECTION 607. Compensation and Reimbursement. 
 The Company agrees 
 (1) to pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation for its acceptance of this
Indenture and services hereunder as the parties shall agree in writing from time to time. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust; 
 (2) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements,
advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel; and 
 (3) to indemnify the Trustee and its officers, directors, employees, agents and any predecessor trustee and its officers, directors,
employees and agents for, and hold the Trustee harmless against, any and all loss, damage, claims, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by it in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust and
the performance of its duties hereunder (including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company (including this Section 607) or defending itself against any claim whether asserted by any Holder or the Company, or
liability in connection with the acceptance, exercise or performance of any 

  

 -55- 








 
of its powers or duties hereunder). The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so
notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee may have one separate counsel and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company
need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith. 
 The obligations of the Company under this Section 607 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or the earlier resignation or
removal of the Trustee. 
 To secure the payment obligations of the Company in this Section 607, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to
the Securities on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Securities. Such Lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 
 When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 501(7) or 501(8) 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 bankruptcy or insolvency law of any jurisdiction. 
 SECTION 608. Conflicting Interests. 
 If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions
of, the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture. To the extent permitted by such Act, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have a conflicting interest by virtue of being a trustee under this Indenture with respect to Securities of more than one series
or trustee under the Indenture dated October 22, 2007 relating to the Company’s 6.085% Senior Notes due 2017 and 6.593% Senior Notes due 2037. 
 SECTION 609. Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility. 
 There shall at all times be one (and only one)
Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of each series, which may be Trustee hereunder for Securities of one or more other series. Each Trustee shall be a Person that is eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act as such and has a
combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If any such Person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of its supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section and to
the extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, the combined capital and surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee with
respect to the Securities of any series shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article. 
  

 -56- 








 SECTION 610. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor. 
 No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of
appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 611. 
 The Trustee may resign at any
time with respect to the Securities of one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 611 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30
days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series. 
 The Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the Securities of any series by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of such series, delivered to the Trustee and to the Company. 
 If at any time: 
 (1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 608 after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a
bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months, or 
 (2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under
Section 609 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder, or 
 (3) the
Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs
for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, 
 then, in any such case, (A) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee
with respect to all Securities, or (B) subject to Section 514, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all Securities and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees. 
 If the
Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, with respect to the Securities of one or more series, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a
successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at any time there
shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any particular series) and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 611. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such
vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the
successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 611, 

  

 -57- 








 
become the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no
successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 611, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security
of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series. 
 The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series and each appointment of a
successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series to all Holders of Securities of such series in the manner provided in Section 106. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such
series and the address of its Corporate Trust Office. 
 SECTION 611. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. 
 In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to all Securities, every such successor Trustee so appointed shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act,
deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and
deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee
hereunder. 
 In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series,
the Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which
(1) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or
those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the
rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and (3) shall add to or
change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall
constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee; and upon the execution
and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested
with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the Company or any successor Trustee, such
retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to 

  

 -58- 








 
such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the
appointment of such successor Trustee relates. 
 Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all
instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers, trusts and duties referred to in the first or second preceding paragraph, as the case may be. 
 No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this
Article. 
 SECTION 612. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. 
 Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of the Trustee (including the trust created by this Indenture), shall be the successor of the
Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities shall
have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same
effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities. 
 SECTION 613. Preferential Collection of Claims Against
Company. 
 If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities), the Trustee
shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the Company (or any such other obligor). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to Section 311(a) of the Trust
Indenture Act to the extent indicated therein. 
 SECTION 614. Appointment of Authenticating Agent. 
 The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to one or more series of Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of
the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series issued upon original issue and upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 306, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the
benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the
Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an
Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia,
authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than 

  

 -59- 








 
$50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least
annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus
as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner
and with the effect specified in this Section. 
 Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which
it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an
Authenticating Agent (including the authenticating agency contemplated by this Indenture), shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing
of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent. 
 An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by
giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a
notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be
acceptable to the Company and shall give notice of such appointment in the manner provided in Section 106 to all Holders of Securities of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve. Any successor Authenticating Agent
upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be
appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section. 
 The Company agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time
reasonable compensation for its services under this Section. 
 If an appointment with respect to one or more series is made pursuant to this
Section, the Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternative certificate of authentication in the following form:

of Parent, under the Support Agreement.

Securities. No such assumption shall be permitted unless Parent has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate of Parent and an Opinion of Counsel for Parent, each stating that such assumption and supplemental indenture comply with this

of such provision nor (ii) modify the rights of the Holder of any such Security with respect to such provision or (B) shall become effective only when there is no such Security Outstanding; or 
 (5) to secure the Securities or add any guarantee with respect to the Securities; or

 SECTION 902. Supplemental Indentures With Consent of Holders. 
 With the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of each series affected by such supplemental indenture, by Act of said Holders delivered to the Company and

Section and Section 1011, or the deletion of this proviso, in accordance with the requirements of Sections 611 and 901(6). 
 A supplemental
indenture which changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Securities, or which modifies the rights of the Holders of

 ARTICLE TEN 
 COVENANTS 
 SECTION 1001.

surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency
in the Place of Payment for Securities of any series for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

  

 -67- 








 SECTION 1003. Money for Securities Payments to Be Held in Trust. 
 If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect to any series of Securities, it will, on or before each due date of the
principal of or any premium or interest on any of the Securities of that series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal and any premium and interest so becoming due until
such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. 
 Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of Securities, it will, prior to each due date of the principal of or any premium or interest on any Securities of that series, deposit with a
Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such amount, such sum to be held as provided by the Trust Indenture Act, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. 

The Company will cause each Paying Agent for any series of Securities other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in
which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will (1) comply with the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act applicable to it as a Paying Agent and (2) during the
continuance of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities of that series) in the making of any payment in respect of the Securities of that series, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all
sums held in trust by such Paying Agent for payment in respect of the Securities of that series. 
 The Company may at any time, for the
purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held
by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect
to such money. 
 Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the
principal of or any premium or interest on any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on Company Request, or (if then held by the
Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to
such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause
to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in the City of New York, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein,
which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.

Officers’ Certificate, stating whether or not to the best knowledge of the signers thereof the Company is in default in the performance and observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (without regard to any
period of grace or requirement of notice provided hereunder) and (ii) promptly (and in any event within five Business Days) upon a Responsible Officer of the Company becoming aware of any default, written notice specifying all such defaults and
the nature and status thereof of which they may have knowledge. For the purpose of this Section, the term “default” means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to
Securities of such series. 
 SECTION 1005. Existence. 
 Subject to Article Eight, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights (charter and statutory) and franchises; provided,
however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right or franchise if the Board of Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and that the
loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders. 
 SECTION 1006. Maintenance of Properties. 
 The Company will, and will cause Parent and Parent’s other Subsidiaries to, maintain and keep, or cause to be maintained and kept, their respective
properties in good repair, working order and condition (other than ordinary wear and tear), so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly conducted at all times, provided, however, that nothing in this Section shall
prevent the Company, Parent or any of Parent’s other Subsidiaries from discontinuing the operation or the maintenance of any of its properties or disposing of them if such discontinuance is, in the judgment of the Company, desirable in the
conduct of its business or the business of Parent or any Subsidiary and not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders. 
 SECTION 1007. Payment of Taxes and Other Claims. 
 The Company will, and will cause Parent and each other Subsidiary to, pay
and discharge all taxes, assessments, governmental charges, or levies imposed on them or any of their properties, assets, income or franchises, to the extent the same have become due and payable and before they have become delinquent and all claims
for which sums have become due and payable that have or might become a Lien on properties or assets of Parent, the Company or any other Subsidiary, provided, however, that neither Parent, nor the Company or any other Subsidiary need pay any
such tax, assessment, charge, levy or claim if (i) the amount, applicability or validity thereof is contested by Parent, the Company or such Subsidiary in good faith and in appropriate proceedings, and Parent, the Company or such other
Subsidiary has established reserves therefor to the extent required by generally accepted accounting principles on the books of Parent, the Company or such other Subsidiary or (ii) the nonpayment of all such taxes, assessments, charges, levies
and claims in the aggregate is not likely to be disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders. 
  

 -69- 








 SECTION 1008. Restrictions on Liens. 
 The Company will not, and will not allow Parent or any Subsidiary to, create, incur, issue or assume any Liens on Parent’s or its Subsidiaries’
respective property to secure Debt where the Debt secured by those Liens would exceed an amount equal to 15% of Consolidated Tangible Total Assets (calculated to exclude Debt secured by Permitted Liens); provided that the foregoing
restriction shall not apply to nor prevent the creation or existence of Permitted Liens. 
 SECTION 1009. Restrictions on Sales and
Leasebacks. 
 The Company will not, and will not allow Parent or any Subsidiary to, enter into any Sale and Leaseback Transaction without
effectively providing that the Securities will be secured equally and ratably with or prior to the Sale and Leaseback Transaction, unless: 
 (1) the aggregate amount of the Attributable Debt of the Company, Parent and Subsidiaries in respect of Sale and Leaseback Transactions then outstanding would not exceed an amount equal to 15% of Consolidated Tangible
Total Assets, or 
 (2) the Company, Parent or any Subsidiary, within 12 months of the Sale and Leaseback Transaction,
retires an amount of secured Debt which is not subordinate to the Securities in an amount equal to the greater of (A) the net proceeds of the sale or transfer of the property or other assets that are the subject of the Sale and Leaseback
Transaction or (B) the fair market value of the property leased. 
 SECTION 1010. Support Agreement. 
 The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of each series of Securities that it will not permit Parent to (a) cancel or terminate the Support
Agreement as in effect on the date of this Indenture or (b) amend or otherwise modify the terms of the Support Agreement, except in accordance with the terms of the Support Agreement in effect on the date of this Indenture. 
 SECTION 1011. Waiver of Certain Covenants. 
 The Company may, with respect to the Securities of any series, omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in any covenant provided pursuant to Section 901(2) or 901(6) for the benefit of
the Holders of such series or in any of Sections 1008 to 1010, inclusive, if before the time for such compliance the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall, by Act of such Holders,
either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such term, provision or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such term, provision or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until
such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in full force and effect.

Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee. 
 The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution
or in another manner specified as contemplated by Section 301 for such Securities. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company of the Securities of any series (including any such redemption affecting only a single Security), the
Company shall, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date, of the principal amount of
Securities of such series to be redeemed and, if applicable, of the tenor of the Securities to be redeemed. In the case of any redemption of Securities prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such
Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction. 
 SECTION 1103. Selection by Trustee of Securities to Be Redeemed. 
 If less than all the Securities of
any series are to be redeemed (unless all the Securities of such series and of a specified tenor are to be redeemed or unless such redemption affects only a single Security), the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than
60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series not previously called for redemption as follows: 
 (1) if the Securities of such series are listed on any National Securities Exchange, in compliance with the requirements of the principal National Securities Exchange on which such Securities are listed; or

 (2) if the Securities of such series are not listed on any National Securities Exchange, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by
such method as the Trustee deems fair or appropriate; 
 provided that the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of any Security
shall be in a denomination of at least $1,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. If less than all the Securities of such series and of a specified tenor are to be redeemed (unless such redemption affects only a single Security), the
particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series and specified tenor not previously called for redemption in accordance with
the preceding sentence. 
  

 -71- 








 The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Securities selected for redemption as
aforesaid and, in case of any Securities selected for partial redemption as aforesaid, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. 
 The
provisions of the two preceding paragraphs shall not apply with respect to any redemption affecting only a single Security, whether such Security is to be redeemed in whole or in part. In the case of any such redemption in part, the unredeemed
portion of the principal amount of the Security shall be in an authorized denomination (which shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination) for such Security. 
 For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate, in the
case of any Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Securities which has been or is to be redeemed. 
 SECTION 1104. Notice of Redemption. 
 Notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail, postage
prepaid, mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, at his address appearing in the Security Register, except that a notice of redemption may be given more than 60
days prior to the Redemption Date if such notice is given in connection with a satisfaction and discharge as described in Article Four of this Indenture. Notices of redemption may not be conditional. 
 All notices of redemption shall state: 
 (1) The Securities to be redeemed (including CUSIP numbers), 
 (2) the Redemption Date,

 (3) the Redemption Price, 
 (4) if less than all the Outstanding Securities of any series consisting of more than a single Security are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption of any such Securities, the
principal amounts) of the particular Securities to be redeemed and, if less than all the Outstanding Securities of any series consisting of a single Security are to be redeemed, the principal amount of the particular Security to be redeemed,

 (5) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each such Security to be redeemed
and, if applicable, that interest thereon will cease to accrue on and after said date, and 
 (6) the place or places where
each such Security is to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price. 
 Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the
election of the Company shall be given by the Company or, at the Company’s request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company and shall be irrevocable. 
  

 -72- 








 SECTION 1105. Deposit of Redemption Price. 
 Prior to any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent,
segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the Securities which are to be
redeemed on that date. 
 SECTION 1106. Securities Payable on Redemption Date. 
 Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the
Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest) such Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Security for
redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 301, installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the
relevant Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 307. 
 If any Security called for redemption shall not be
so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal and any premium shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed therefor in the Security. 
 SECTION 1107. Securities Redeemed in Part. 
 Any Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at a Place of Payment therefor (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new
Security or Securities of the same series and of like tenor, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so
surrendered. 
 SECTION 1108. Redemption upon Death of a Beneficial Owner. 
 Subject to any different or more specific terms provided as contemplated by Section 301, the following provisions shall apply to the Securities of
any series that are specified, as contemplated by Section 301, to be subject to redemption upon the death of the Beneficial Owner (as defined below) thereof at the request of a Representative (as defined below) thereof. 
 For purpose of making a redemption request, the Representative of a deceased Beneficial Owner is any person who is the person representative of, or is
otherwise authorized to represent, the estate of such deceased Beneficial Owner or the surviving joint tenant or tenant(s) by the entirety or the trustee of a trust (each, a “Representative”). A Representative may initiate a request for
redemption at any time. The Representative shall deliver its request to the Participant 

  

 -73- 








 
(as hereinafter defined) through whom the deceased Beneficial Owner owned the Security to be redeemed, in form satisfactory to such Participant, together
with evidence of the death of such Beneficial Owner, evidence of the authority of the Representative satisfactory to such Participant, any waivers, notices or certificates as may be required under applicable State or Federal law and any such other
evidence of the right to such redemption as such Participant may require. The request must specify the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. Subject to the
rules and arrangements applicable to the Depositary, the Participant will thereupon deliver to the Depositary a request for redemption substantially in the form attached to the Securities of such series (a “Redemption Request”). The
Depositary will, upon receipt of a Redemption Request, forward the same to the Trustee. The Trustee shall maintain records with respect to Redemption Requests received by it, including the date of receipt, the name of the Participant filing the
Redemption Request and the status of each Redemption Request with respect to any applicable limitations on individual or aggregate redemptions. The Trustee will promptly file with the Company each Redemption Request it receives, together with the
information regarding the eligibility of the Redemption Request with respect to any applicable limitations on individual or aggregate redemptions. The Company, the Depositary and the Trustee may conclusively assume, without independent investigation
or verification, that the statements contained in each Redemption Request are true and correct and shall have no responsibility (a) for reviewing any documents submitted to the Participant by the Representative or (b) for determining
whether the deceased person is in fact the Beneficial Owner of the Securities to be redeemed or is in fact deceased and whether the Representative is duly authorized to request redemption on behalf of the applicable Beneficial Owner. 
 For purposes of this section, a “Beneficial Owner” means the person who has the right to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of a Security and
the right to receive the proceeds from that sale, as well as the interest thereon and principal thereof. In connection with any such redemption, determination of beneficial ownership in Securities will be subject to the rules, regulations and
procedures governing the Depositary and institutions (“Participants”) that have accounts with the Depositary. 
 For purposes of
this section, a Security held in tenancy by the entirety, joint tenancy or by tenants in common will be deemed to be held by a single Beneficial Owner, and the death of a tenant by the entirety, joint tenant or tenant in common will be deemed the
death of the Beneficial Owner of such Security. The death of a person who, during his or her lifetime, was entitled to substantially all of the rights of a Beneficial Owner of a Security will be deemed the death of the Beneficial Owner of such
Security, regardless of the recordation of such ownership of such Security on the records of the Participant, if such rights can be established to the satisfaction of the Participant and the Company. 
 In the case of a Redemption Request that is presented on behalf of a deceased Beneficial Owner that has not been fulfilled at the time the Company gives
notice of its election to redeem Securities of the same series pursuant to any provision for redemption at the option of the Company, the Securities that are the subject of such pending Redemption Request shall be redeemed prior to any other
Securities of such series to the extent the aggregate principal amount of such Securities does not exceed the aggregate principal amount of Securities the Company has elected to redeem pursuant to such optional redemption. 
  

 -74- 








 The Representative of a deceased Beneficial Owner of Securities may initiate the withdrawal of any
Redemption Request by making a request therefor to the applicable Participant and requesting the Participant to request that the Depositary make a similar request to the Trustee not less than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date on which such
Notes are first eligible for redemption. The Company may, at its option, purchase any Securities for which Redemption Requests have been received in lieu of redeeming such Securities. 
 During such time or times as the Securities are not represented by a Global Security and are issued in certificated form, all references herein to
Participants and the Depositary, including the Depositary’s governing rules, regulations and procedures, shall be deemed deleted, all determinations which under this Section the Participants are required to make shall be made by the Company
(including, without limitation, determining whether the applicable decedent is in fact the Beneficial Owner of a Security to be redeemed or is in fact deceased and whether the Representative is duly authorized to request redemption on behalf of the
applicable Beneficial Owner), and all Redemption Requests, to be effective, shall be delivered by the Representative to the Trustee, with a copy to the Company, and shall be in the form of a Redemption Request (with appropriate changes mutually
agreed to by the Trustee and the Company to reflect the fact that such Redemption Request is being executed by a Representative (including provision for signature guarantees)) and, in addition to all documents that are otherwise required to
accompany a Redemption Request, shall be accompanied by the Security that is the subject of such request and, if applicable, a properly executed assignment or endorsement. If the record ownership of a Security is held by a nominee of the deceased
Beneficial Owner, a certificate or letter from such nominee attesting to the deceased’s ownership of a beneficial interest in the Security must also be delivered. 
 ARTICLE TWELVE 
 SINKING FUNDS 
 SECTION 1201. Applicability of Article. 
 The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of any series except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for such Securities. 
 The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of any Securities is herein referred to as a “mandatory sinking fund
payment”, and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of such Securities is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment”. If provided for by the terms of any Securities, the cash amount of
any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 1202. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities as provided for by the terms of such Securities. 
 SECTION 1202. Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities. 
 The Company (1) may deliver Outstanding Securities of a series (other than any previously called for redemption) and (2) may apply as a credit Securities of a series which have been redeemed either at the
election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such 

  

 -75- 








 
Securities, in each case in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to any Securities of such series required to be made
pursuant to the terms of such Securities as and to the extent provided for by the terms of such Securities; provided that the Securities to be so credited have not been previously so credited. The Securities to be so credited shall be
received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the Redemption Price, as specified in the Securities so to be redeemed, for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced
accordingly. 
 SECTION 1203. Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund. 
 Not less than 45 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’
Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for such Securities pursuant to the terms of such Securities, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any, which
is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities pursuant to Section 1202 and will also deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so delivered. Not less than 30 days prior to each such sinking fund payment date, the Trustee
shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 1103 and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner
provided in Section 1104. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 1106 and 1107. 
 ARTICLE THIRTEEN 
 DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT
DEFEASANCE 
 SECTION 1301. Company’s Option to Effect Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 
 The Company may elect, at its option at any time, to have Section 1302 or Section 1303 applied to any Securities or any series of Securities, as
the case may be, upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article. Any such election shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution. 
 SECTION 1302. Defeasance and Discharge. 
 Upon the Company’s exercise of its option to have this Section applied to any
Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be, the Company shall be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to such Securities as provided in this Section on and after the date the conditions set forth in
Section 1304 are satisfied (hereinafter called “Defeasance”). For this purpose, such Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by such Securities and to
have satisfied all its other obligations under such Securities and this Indenture insofar as such Securities are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), subject to the
following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (1) the rights of Holders of such Securities to receive, solely from the trust fund described in Section 1304 and as more fully set forth in such Section,
payments in respect of the principal of and any premium and interest on such Securities when payments are due, (2) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Securities under Sections 304, 305, 306, 1002 and 1003, (3) the
rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the 

  

 -76- 








 
Trustee hereunder and (4) this Article. Subject to compliance with this Article, the Company may exercise its option to have this Section applied to any
Securities notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option to have Section 1303 applied to such Securities. 
 SECTION 1303.
Covenant Defeasance. 
 Upon the Company’s exercise of its option to have this Section applied to any Securities or any series of
Securities, as the case may be, (1) the Company shall be released from its obligations under Section 801 and Sections 1006 through 1010, inclusive, and any covenants provided pursuant to Section 301(12), Section 901(2),
Section 901(4) or Section 901(6) for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities and (2) the occurrence of any event specified in Section 501(4), Section 501(5) (with respect to any of Sections 1006 through 1010,
inclusive, and any such covenants provided pursuant to Section 301(12), Section 901(2), Section 901(4) or Section 901(6)) or Sections 501(6) through 501(10) shall be deemed not to be or result in an Event of Default, in each
case with respect to such Securities as provided in this Section on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 1304 are satisfied (hereinafter called “Covenant Defeasance”). For this purpose, such Covenant
Defeasance means that, with respect to such Securities, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such specified Section (to the extent so specified in the case
of Section 501(5)), whether directly or indirectly by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or by reason of any reference in any such Section to any other provision herein or in any other document, but the remainder of
this Indenture and such Securities shall be unaffected thereby. 
 SECTION 1304. Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

 The following shall be the conditions to the application of Section 1302 or Section 1303 to any Securities or any series of
Securities, as the case may be: 
 (1) The Company shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee
(or another trustee which satisfies the requirements contemplated by Section 609 and agrees to comply with the provisions of this Article applicable to it) as trust funds in trust for the purpose of making the following payments, specifically
pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefits of the Holders of such Securities, (A) money in an amount, or (B) U.S. Government Obligations which through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect thereof
in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than one day before the due date of any payment, money in an amount, or (C) a combination thereof, in each case sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent
public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge, and which shall be applied by the Trustee (or any such other qualifying trustee) to pay and discharge, the principal of and any premium
and interest on such Securities on the respective Stated Maturities, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and such Securities. As used herein, “U.S. Government Obligation” means (x) any security which is (i) a
direct obligation of the United States of America for the payment of which the full faith and credit of the United States of America is pledged or (ii) an obligation of a Person controlled or supervised by and acting as an agency or
instrumentality of the United States of America the payment of which is unconditionally guaranteed as a full faith and credit obligation by the United States of America, which, in either case (i) or (ii), is not callable or redeemable at the
option of the Company thereof, and (y) any depositary 

  

 -77- 








 
receipt issued by a bank (as defined in Section 3(a)(2) of the Securities Act) as custodian with respect to any U.S. Government Obligation which is
specified in Clause (x) above and held by such bank for the account of the holder of such depositary receipt, or with respect to any specific payment of principal of or interest on any U.S. Government Obligation which is so specified and held,
provided that (except as required by law) such custodian is not authorized to make any deduction from the amount payable to the holder of such depositary receipt from any amount received by the custodian in respect of the U.S. Government
Obligation or the specific payment of principal or interest evidenced by such depositary receipt. 
 (2) In the event of an
election to have Section 1302 apply to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (A) the Company has received from, or there has been
published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (B) since the date of this instrument, there has been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law, in either case (A) or (B) to the effect that, and based thereon such
opinion shall confirm that, the Holders of such Securities will not recognize gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit, Defeasance and discharge to be effected with respect to such Securities and will be subject to
Federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would be the case if such deposit, Defeasance and discharge were not to occur. 
 (3) In the event of an election to have Section 1303 apply to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be, the
Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of such Securities will not recognize gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit and Covenant Defeasance to be effected
with respect to such Securities and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would be the case if such deposit and Covenant Defeasance were not to occur. 
 (4) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that neither such Securities nor any other
Securities of the same series, if then listed on any securities exchange, will be delisted as a result of such deposit. 
 (5)
No Event of Default with respect to such Securities or any other Securities shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such deposit or, with regard to any such event specified in Sections 501(7) and (8), at any time on or prior to the
90th day after the date of such deposit (it being understood that this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until after such 90th day). 
 (6) Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not cause the Trustee to have a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act (assuming all Securities are in default within the meaning of such
Act). 
 (7) Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default
under, any other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound. 
  

 -78- 








 (8) Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in the trust arising from
such deposit constituting an investment company within the meaning of the Investment Company Act unless such trust shall be registered under such Act or exempt from registration thereunder. 
 (9) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all
conditions precedent with respect to such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance have been complied with. 
 SECTION 1305. Deposited Money and
U.S. Government Obligations to Be Held in Trust; Miscellaneous Provisions. 
 Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of
Section 1003, all money and U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee or other qualifying trustee (solely for purposes of this Section and Section 1306, the Trustee and any such other trustee
are referred to collectively as the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 1304 in respect of any Securities shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and this Indenture, to
the payment, either directly or through any such Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Securities, of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal
and any premium and interest, but money so held in trust need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 The
Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 1304 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 Outstanding Securities. 
 Anything in this Article
to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company Request any money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 1304 with respect to any Securities which, in the
opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect the
Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, with respect to such Securities. 
 SECTION 1306. Reinstatement. 
 If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with this Article with respect to any Securities by reason of any order or
judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the obligations under this Indenture and such Securities from which the Company has been discharged or released pursuant to
Section 1302 or 1303 shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article with respect to such Securities, until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all money held in trust
pursuant to Section 1305 with respect to such Securities in accordance with this Article; provided, however, that if the Company makes any payment of principal of or any premium or interest on any such Security following such
reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights (if any) of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money so held in trust.
