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 expense of the Company, 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 1.06.

foregoing, no Expiration Date shall be later than the 180th day after the applicable record date and, if an Expiration Date is not designated with respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party or parties hereto which set such

 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 or proxies each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such
principal amount. 
  
 (4) The principal amount and serial numbers
of Global Securities held by any Person, and the date of holding the same, shall be proved by the Security Register. 
  
 (5) 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. 
  
 (6) The provisions of this Section 1.04 are subject to the provisions of Section 13.05. 
  
 Section 1.05 Notices, Etc., to Trustee and the Company. 
  
 Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders of Securities or other document
provided for or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with, 
  
 (1) the Trustee by any Holder of Securities or by the Company shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or
filed in writing (or sent by facsimile and confirmed in writing) to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, Attention: Institutional Trust Services, or 
  
 (2) the Company by the Trustee or by any Holder of Securities shall be sufficient for every purpose
hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed (or sent by facsimile and confirmed in writing) international air mail postage prepaid and addressed to its principal office specified in the first paragraph of this

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 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 to Holders of
Securities by mail, then such notification as shall be given with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder. In any case where notice to Holders of Securities is given by mail, neither the
failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder of a Security shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders of Securities. 
  
 Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be
waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall 
  

 15 








 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.

under such Act to be a part of and govern this Indenture, the provision of such Act shall control. If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act that may be so modified or excluded, the provision of
such Act shall be deemed to apply to this Indenture as so modified or to be excluded, as the case may be. 
  
 Section 1.09 Effect of Headings and Table of Contents.

Governing Law. 
  
 This Indenture and the Securities shall be

 In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity of any Security or the last day on which
Holders have the right to convert or exchange their Securities shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment or place of conversion or exchange, then (notwithstanding any 
  

 16 








 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) or conversion or exchange need not be made at such Place of Payment or place of conversion or exchange on such date, but may be made on
the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment or place of conversion or exchange with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date, or at the Stated Maturity or on such last day for conversion or

 Section 1.15 Appointment of Agent
for Service; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Immunity. 
  
 By the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company hereby appoints the New York office of the Company as its agent upon which process may be served in any legal action or proceeding which may be instituted in any Federal court in
the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, State of New York, arising out of or relating to the Securities or this Indenture, but for that purpose only. Service of process upon such agent at the office of the Company at 1336 Avenue of the
Americas, 16th Floor, New York, New York 10019-5422, and written notice of said service to the Company by the Person servicing the same addressed as provided by Section 1.05, shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon the
Company in any such legal action or proceeding. The Company will take any and all action necessary to continue such designation in full force and effect and to advise the Trustee of any change of address of such agent; should such agent become
unavailable for this purpose for any reason, the Company will promptly and irrevocably designate a new agent in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, State of New York, which will agree to act as such for powers and for the purposes set forth
in this Section 1.15. The Company hereby (i) irrevocably submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any Federal court in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, State of New York in which any such legal action or proceeding is so
instituted, and any appellate court from any thereof, (ii) to the extent it may effectively do so, irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection which it may have now or hereafter to the laying of the venue of any such legal action or
proceeding and (iii) to the extent the Company has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution
or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property, the Company hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations under the Indenture and the Securities to the fullest extent permitted by law. Such appointment shall be
irrevocable so long as the Holders of Securities shall have any rights pursuant to the terms thereof or of this Indenture until the appointment of a successor by the Company with the consent of the Trustee and such successor’s acceptance of
such appointment. The Company further agrees to take any and all action, including the execution and filing of any and all such documents and instruments, as may be necessary to continue such designation and appointment of such agent or successor.

the principal [(and premium, if any)], interest or any Additional Amount on this Security on or after the respective due dates expressed herein [If applicable insert — or to a suit instituted by the Holder hereof for the enforcement of the
right to convert this Security or receive Securities upon conversion or exchange in accordance with the Indenture].

hold such positions 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 an Order for the authentication and delivery of
such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with the Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. 
  
 If the forms or terms of the Securities of the series have been established in or pursuant to one or more Authorizations as permitted by Sections 2.01
and 3.01, in authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 6.01) shall be fully protected in
relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel and Officers’ Certificate stating, 
  
 (1) that such forms or terms have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and 
  
 (2) that such Securities, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any
conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and
similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles. 
  

 36 








 The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Securities under this
Section if the Trustee, being advised in writing by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith shall determine that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability based upon the written
advice of counsel. 
  
 The Trustee shall not be required to
authenticate the Securities of any series 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. 
  
 Notwithstanding the
provisions of Section 3.01 and of the preceding paragraph, if all Securities of a series are not to be originally issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver the Officer’s Certificate otherwise required pursuant to Section 3.01 or
the Order and Opinion of Counsel otherwise required pursuant to such preceding paragraph at or prior to the time of authentication of each Security of such series if such documents are delivered at or prior to the authentication upon original
issuance of the first Security of such series to be issued. 
  
 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 3.09, 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. 
  
 Section 3.04 Temporary Securities. 
  
 Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and upon Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver,
temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued, in registered form and
with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities. A Temporary Regulation S Security shall be delivered only in
compliance with the conditions set forth in Section 3.03 and this Section 3.04. 
  
 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 a Place of Payment for that series, without
charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any series, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor one or more definitive Securities of the same
series, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor. 
  

 37 








 If Temporary Regulation S Securities of any series are issued, any such Temporary Regulation S Security
shall, unless otherwise provided therein, be delivered to DTC or its nominee or the Common Depositary, in each case, for the benefit of the Euroclear Operator and Clearstream, Luxembourg, for credit to the respective accounts of the beneficial
owners of such Securities (or to such other accounts as they may direct). 
  
 Without unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the date specified in, or determined pursuant to the terms of, any such Temporary Regulation S Security of a series (the “Exchange Date”), the
Company shall deliver to the Trustee definitive Securities of that series in aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Temporary Regulation S Security executed by the Company. On or after the Exchange Date, such Temporary
Regulation S Security shall be surrendered by DTC or its nominee or the Common Depositary, as the case may be, to the Trustee, as the Company’s agent for such purpose, to be exchanged, in whole or from time to time in part, for definitive
Securities of that series without charge, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for each portion of such Temporary Regulation S Security a like aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series of
authorized denominations and of like tenor as the portion of such Temporary Regulation S Security to be exchanged; provided however, that upon such presentation by DTC or its nominee or the Common Depositary, such Temporary Regulation S Security
must be accompanied by a certificate dated the Exchange Date or a subsequent date and signed by the Euroclear Operator as to the portion of such Temporary Regulation S Security held for its account then to be exchanged and a certificate dated the
Exchange Date or a subsequent date and signed by Clearstream, Luxembourg as to the portion of such Temporary Regulation S Security held for its account then to be exchanged, each in the form set forth in Section 3.12(2). The definitive Securities to
be delivered in exchange for any such Temporary Regulation S Security shall, unless otherwise specified in the Temporary Regulation S Security, be in or in the form of Permanent Regulation S Securities. 
  
 Unless otherwise specified in the Temporary Regulation S Security, the
interest of a beneficial owner of Securities of a series in a Temporary Regulation S Security shall be exchanged on the Exchange Date for interest in a permanent global registered Security (a “Permanent Regulation S Security”) of the same
series and of like tenor unless, on or prior to the Exchange Date, such beneficial owner has not delivered to the Euroclear Operator or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as the case may be, a certificate in the form set forth in Section 3.12(1) dated no
earlier than the Certification Date, copies of which certificate shall be available from the office of the Euroclear Operator and Clearstream, Luxembourg, the Trustee, and any Authenticating Agent appointed for such series of Securities and each
Paying Agent and after the Exchange Date, the interest of a beneficial owner of Securities of a series in a Temporary Regulation S Security shall be exchanged for an interest in a Permanent Regulation S Security of the same series and of like tenor
following such beneficial owner’s delivery to the Euroclear Operator or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as the case may be, of a certificate in the form set forth in Section 3.12(1) dated no earlier than the Certification Date. Unless otherwise
specified in such Temporary Regulation S Security, any such exchange shall be made free of charge to the beneficial owners of such Temporary Regulation S Security. 
  
 Until exchanged in full as hereinabove provided, the temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled
to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of the same series and of like tenor authenticated and delivered hereunder, except that, interest payable on a Temporary Regulation S Security on an Interest Payment Date for
Securities of such series shall be payable to the Euroclear Operator and Clearstream, Luxembourg on such Interest Payment Date only upon delivery by the Euroclear Operator or Clearstream, Luxembourg to the Trustee of a certificate or certificates in
the form set forth in Section 3.12(2), for credit without further interest on or after such 
  

 38 








 Interest Payment Date to the respective accounts of the Persons who are the beneficial owners of such Temporary
Regulation S Security on such Interest Payment Date and who have each delivered to the Euroclear Operator or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as the case may be, a certificate in the form set forth in Section 3.12(1). Any interest so received by the
Euroclear Operator and Clearstream, Luxembourg and not paid as herein provided shall be returned to the Trustee immediately prior to the expiration of two years after such Interest Payment Date in order to be repaid to the Company in accordance with
Section 10.17. 
  
 Section 3.05 Registration,
Registration of Transfer and Exchange. 
  
 (1) 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 a 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 Registered Securities and of transfers of Registered Securities. The Trustee is hereby appointed
“Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering Registered Securities and transfers of Registered Securities as herein provided. Such Security Register shall distinguish between Original Securities and Exchange Securities. 

 
 Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3.05(1), upon surrender for
registration of transfer of a Registered Security of any series at the office or agency in a 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 Registered Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount. 
  
 Subject to Section 3.05(2), at the option of the Holder, Registered Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Registered Securities of the same
series, of any authorized denominations and of a like tenor and aggregate principal amount upon surrender of the Registered Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Registered Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the
Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Registered 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
(subject to the provisions, if any, in the Original Securities regarding payment of Special Interest) and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 

 
 Every Registered 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. 
  
 In the event that
the Company delivers to the Trustee a copy of an Officer’s Certificate certifying that a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to an Exchange Offer relating to a particular series of Securities, if any such Exchange Offer
is contemplated for such series, has been declared effective by the Commission and that the Company has offered Exchange Securities of such series to the Holders in accordance with the Exchange Offer, the Trustee shall exchange, upon request of any
Holder, such Holder’s Securities for Exchange Securities upon the terms set forth in the Exchange Offer. 
  

 39 








 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 Sections 3.04, 9.06 or
11.07 not involving any transfer. 
  
 The Company shall not be
required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange Registered Securities of any series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before any selection of Securities of that series to be redeemed and ending at the close of
business on the day of the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Registered Security so selected for redemption, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being
redeemed in part. 
  
 The provisions of Clauses (a), (b), (c)
and (d) below shall apply only to Global Registered Securities: 
  
 (a) Each Global Security authenticated under this Indenture shall be registered in the name of the Depositary designated for such Global Security or a nominee thereof and delivered to such Depositary or a nominee
thereof or custodian therefor, and each such Global Security shall constitute a single Security for all purposes of this Indenture. 
  
 (b) Subject to Clause (4) below, any exchange of a Global Security for other Securities may be made in whole or in part, and all
Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security or any portion thereof shall be registered in such names as the Depositary for such Global Security shall direct. 
  
 (c) Every Security authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for or in
lieu of, a Global Security or any portion thereof, whether pursuant to this Section, Sections 3.04, 3.06, 9.06 or 11.07 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. 
  
 (d) Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in Global Securities will not be entitled to receive Registered Securities in
their names (“Certificated Securities”). Certificated Securities shall be issued to all owners of beneficial interests in a Global Note in exchange for such interests if: 
  
 (i) The Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for such
Global Note or the Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, at a time when such Depositary is required to be so registered in order to act as depositary, and in each case, and a successor depositary is not
appointed by the Company within 90 days of such notice, 
  
 (ii) The Depositary executes and delivers to the Trustee and the Security Registrar an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Global Note shall be so exchangeable, or 
  
 (iii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
and the Security Registrar has received a request from the Depositary or the Security Registrar and the Company have received a request from the Trustee. 
  

 40 








 In connection with the exchange of an entire Global Security for Certificated Securities pursuant to this
Clause (d), such Global Note shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Company shall execute, and upon receipt of an Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by the
Depositary in exchange for its beneficial interest in such Global Security, an equal aggregate principal amount of Certificated Securities of authorized denominations. 
  
 (e) Members of, or participants in, DTC or Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg, as the case may be
(“Agent Members”), shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Security held on their behalf by DTC or by the Common Depositary under such Global Security, and DTC or the Common Depositary, as the case may be, may
be treated by the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Security Registrar and any of their agents as the absolute owner of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the
Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Security Registrar or any of their agents from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by DTC or the Common Depositary or impair, as between DTC or Euroclear
and Clearstream, Luxembourg and their respective Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of an owner of a beneficial interest in any Global Security. The registered Holder of a Global Security may
grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action that a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Securities. 
  
 (2) Certain Transfers and Exchanges. 
  
 (a) The following provisions shall apply with respect to any
proposed transfer of an interest in a Restricted Global Security: If (i) the owner of a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Security wishes to transfer such interest (or portion thereof) to a Non-U.S. Person pursuant to Regulation S and (ii)
such Non-U.S. Person wishes to hold its interest in the Security through a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Security, (x) upon receipt by the Depositary and Security Registrar of: 
  
 (i) instructions from the Holder of the Restricted Global
Note directing the Depositary and Security Registrar to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Security equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Security to be
transferred, and 
  
 (ii) a Restricted
Securities Certificate in the form of Annex B from the transferor, 
  
 and (y) subject to the rules and procedures of the Depositary, the Depositary and Security Registrar shall increase the Regulation S Global Security and decrease the Restricted Global Security by such amount in
accordance with the foregoing. 
  
 (b) If the
owner of an interest in a Regulation S Global Security wishes to transfer such interest (or any portion thereof) to a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined by and pursuant to Rule 144A prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period
therefor, (x) upon receipt by the Depositary and Security Registrar of: 
  
 (i) instructions from the Holder of the Regulation S Global Security directing the Depositary and Security Registrar to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Note equal to the
principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Security to be transferred, and 
  

 41 








 (ii) a Restricted Securities Certificate in the form of Annex B duly executed by the
transferor, 
  
 and (y) in accordance with the
rules and procedures of the Depositary, the Depositary and Security Registrar shall increase the Restricted Global Security and decrease the Regulation S Global Security by such amount in accordance with the foregoing. 
  
 (c) Other Transfers. Any transfer of Restricted Securities
or Regulation S Securities not described above (other than a transfer of a beneficial interest in a Global Security that does not involve an exchange of such interest for a Certificated Note or a beneficial interest in another Global Security, which
must be effected in accordance with applicable law and the rules and procedures of the Depositary, but is not subject to any procedure required by this Indenture) shall be made only upon receipt by the Security Registrar of such opinions of counsel,
certificates and/or other information reasonably required by and satisfactory to it in order to ensure compliance with the Securities Act or in accordance with paragraph (3) of this Section 3.05. 
  
 (3) Securities Act Legends. Rule 144A Securities and their Successor
Securities shall bear a Restricted Securities Legend, and Initial Regulation S Securities and their Successor Securities shall bear a Regulation S Legend, subject to the following: 
  
 (a) subject to the following Clauses of this Section 3.05(3), a Security or any portion thereof which is
exchanged, upon registration of transfer or otherwise, for a Registered Global Security or any portion thereof shall bear the Securities Act legend borne by such Registered Global Security while represented thereby; 
  
 (b) subject to the following Clauses of this Section
3.05(3), a new Registered Security which is issued in exchange for another Security or any portion thereof, upon registration of transfer or otherwise, shall bear the Securities Act legend borne by such other Security, provided that, if such new
Registered Security is required to be issued in the form of a Restricted Security, it shall bear a Restricted Securities Legend and, if such new Registered Security is so required to be issued in the form of a Regulation S Security, it shall bear a
Regulation S Legend; 
  
 (c) any SEC Registered
Securities shall not bear a Securities Act legend, 
  
 (d) after the applicable restricted period prescribed by Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act, a new Registered Security which does not bear a Securities Act legend may be issued in exchange for or in lieu of a Registered 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 Registered Security in exchange for or in lieu of such other Registered Security as provided in this Article Three, 
  

 42 








 (e) a new Registered Security which does not bear a Securities Act legend may be issued
in exchange for or in lieu of a Registered 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 
  
 (f) notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.05(3), a Successor Security of a Security
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 bearing a Restricted Securities Legend in exchange for such Successor Security as provided in this Article Three.

  
 Section 3.06 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 bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, appertaining
to the surrendered Security. 
  
 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 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 protected 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 bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 
  
 Notwithstanding the provisions of the previous two paragraphs, 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 any such new Security shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and
proportionately with any and all other Securities of that series duly issued hereunder. 
  
 The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities.

  

 43 








 Section 3.07 Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved. 
  
 Except as otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.01 with respect
to any series of Securities, interest on any Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid, in the case of definitive Registered Securities, 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 and, at the option of the Company, may be paid by check mailed to the address of the Person as it appears in the
Security Register or, in the case of Global Securities, by wire transfer of same-day funds to the Holder. 
  
 Any interest on any Registered 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 on or 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 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 ten days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than ten 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 1.06, not less than ten 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 and Section 3.05, each
Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such predecessor Security.

  

 44 








 Section 3.08 Persons Deemed Owners. 
  
 Prior to due presentment of a 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 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
Sections 3.04, 3.05 and 3.07) 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 3.09 Cancellation.

  
 All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption,
registration of transfer or exchange or conversion 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 canceled 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 canceled by the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in
exchange for any Securities canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Securities held by the Trustee shall be disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its customary procedures unless
otherwise directed by an Order. 
  
 Section 3.10
Computation of Interest. 
  
 Except as otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 3.01 for Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 
  
 Section 3.11 CUSIP Numbers. 
  
 The Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee
shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as
contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company shall
promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP numbers. 
  
 Section 3.12 Add On Notes. 
  
 Unless otherwise provided pursuant to Section 3.01, the Company may, from time to time, subject to compliance with any other applicable provisions of this Indenture, without the consent of the Holders, create and issue pursuant to this
Indenture additional notes (“Add On Notes”) having terms and conditions identical to those of any other series of Outstanding Securities issued under this Indenture, except that Add On Notes: 
  
 (1) may have a different issue date from such other series
of Outstanding Securities; 
  

 45 








 (2) may have a different amount of interest payable on the first Interest Payment Date
after issuance than is payable on such other series of Outstanding Securities; 
  
 (3) may have terms specified pursuant to the Board Resolution or other document evidencing an Authorization or in a supplemental indenture
for such Add On Notes making appropriate adjustments to the terms of this Indenture applicable to such Add On Notes in order to conform to and ensure compliance with the Securities Act (or other applicable securities laws) and any Registration
Rights Agreement applicable to such Add On Notes, which are not adverse in any material respect to the Holder of any such series of Outstanding Securities (other than such Add On Notes); and 
  
 (4) may be entitled to Step-Up interest not applicable to
such other series of Outstanding Securities and may not be entitled to such Step-Up interest applicable to such other series of Outstanding Securities. 
  
 Section 3.13 Forms of Certification. 
  
 (1) Whenever any provision of this Indenture contemplates that certification be given by a beneficial owner of a portion of the Temporary Regulation S
Security, such certification shall be provided substantially in the form of the following certificate, with only such changes as shall be approved by the Company: 
  
 CERTIFICATE

 As used herein, “United States” means the United States of America (including the States and
the District of Columbia); and its “possessions” include Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, Wake Island and the Northern Mariana Islands.

 Section 3.14 Standby Purchase Agreements. 
  
 The
parties hereto agree that the Trustee may, in connection with the issuance of a series of Securities under this Indenture, enter into standby purchase agreements (each, as may be amended or supplemented from time to time, a “Standby Purchase
Agreement”) with Petrobras. The Company and the Trustee hereby acknowledge that the purpose and intent of Petrobras in providing any Standby Purchase Agreement is to give effect to the agreement of Petrobras, from time to time upon the receipt
of a specified notice from the Trustee that the Company has failed to make the required payments under the Securities of such series, this Indenture and any supplemental indenture or other applicable document evidencing an Authorization, to purchase
the Holders’ claims against the Company. The Holders of any series of Securities supported by a Standby Purchase Agreement (by acceptance of the Securities of such series upon issuance) shall be deemed to have consented to the sale by the
Trustee, on behalf of the Holders, of all rights such Holders may have to receive amounts due on or in respect of the Securities of such series that are not paid by the Company in accordance with the requirements of this Indenture and receipt by
such Holder of funds paid by Petrobras under the Standby Purchase Agreement in respect of such unpaid amounts shall extinguish such Holder’s claims against the Company in respect of any such unpaid amounts. The Trustee agrees to treat any
Standby Purchase Agreement in substantially the same 
  

 49 








 fashion as it would a guarantee or similar obligation and shall promptly deposit in accordance with the terms of Article
V hereof any funds it receives from Petrobras under or pursuant to any Standby Purchase Agreement. 
  
 ARTICLE FOUR 
  
 SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE 
  
 Section
4.01 Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. 
  
 This Indenture
shall upon Order of the Company cease to be of further effect (except as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange or conversion of Securities herein expressly provided for, and any right to receive Additional Amounts as
provided in Section 10.19), and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, when 
  
 (1) either 
  
 (a) all Securities theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (i) Securities which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which
have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 3.06 and (ii) Securities for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such
trust, as provided in Section 10.17) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or 
  
 (b) all such Securities 
  
 (i) have become due and payable, or 
  
 (ii) will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year, or 
  
 (iii) are to be called for redemption within one year under
arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company, 
  
 and the Company in the case of (i), (ii) or (iii) above, has deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust
for the purpose money in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Securities for principal and any premium and interest to the date of such deposit (in the case of Securities which have become due and payable) or to
the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be; 
  
 (2) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company; and 
  
 (3) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions
precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with. 
  

 50 








 Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the obligations of the Company to the
Trustee under Section 6.07, the obligations of the Company and the Trustee to any Authenticating Agent under Section 6.14 and, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Subclause (B) of Clause (l) of this Section, the
obligations of the Trustee under Section 4.02 and the last paragraph of Section 10.17 shall survive. 
  
 Section 4.02 Application of Trust Money. 
  
 Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 10.17, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.01 shall be held in trust
(without liability to the Holders for interest or investment) and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its
own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal and any premium and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with or received by the Trustee. 
  
 ARTICLE FIVE 
  
 REMEDIES 
  
 Section 5.01 Events of Default. 
  
 “Event of Default,” wherever used herein with respect to the Securities of any series, means any one of the following events (whatever the
reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental
body): 
  
 (1) The Company shall fail to make any
payment in respect of principal on any of the Securities whether on the Stated Maturity (as the same may be extended as permitted hereunder), upon redemption or prior to the Maturity or otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Securities and
this Indenture, non-payment of which shall continue for a period of 14 calendar days and the Trustee shall not have otherwise received such amounts from amounts on deposit or otherwise by the end of such 14 calendar day period; 
  
 (2) The Company shall fail to make any payment in respect of
any interest or other amounts due on or with respect to the Securities of any series (including Additional Amounts, if any) in accordance with the terms of the Securities of such series and this Indenture, non-payment of which shall continue for a
period of 30 calendar days and the Trustee shall not have otherwise received such amounts from amounts on deposit or otherwise by the end of such 30 calendar day period; 
  
 (3) The Company shall fail to perform, or breach, any term, covenant, agreement or obligation contained in
this Indenture and such failure is either incapable of remedy or continues for a period of 60 calendar days after there has been received by the Company from the Trustee or 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 a notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder; 
  
 (4) (i) The acceleration of any Indebtedness of the Company in accordance with the terms of such
Indebtedness, it being understood that prepayment or redemption by the Company of any Indebtedness is not acceleration for this purpose; (ii) the Company shall fail to pay any 
  

 51 








 Indebtedness when due or, as the case may be, beyond any applicable grace period specified in the
underlying transaction document; or (iii) the Company shall fail to pay when due any amount payable by it under any Guarantee for, or indemnity in respect of, the Indebtedness of any other Person; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of any
such Indebtedness falling within (i), (ii) or (iii) above (as to which the time for payment has not been extended by the relevant obligees) equals or exceeds U.S.$100,000,000 (or its equivalent in another currency); 
  
 (5) One or more final and non-appealable judgments or final
decrees is entered against the Company involving in the aggregate a liability (not theretofore paid or reimbursed by insurance) of U.S.$100,000,000 (or its equivalent in another currency) or more, and all such judgments or final decrees shall not
have been vacated, discharged or stayed within 120 calendar days after the rendering thereof; 
  
 (6) The Company stops payment of, or is generally unable to pay, its debts as and when they become due except(i) as is otherwise expressly
provided under this Indenture or (ii) in the case of a winding-up, dissolution or liquidation for the purpose of and followed by a consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer, the terms of which shall have been approved by a resolution of a
meeting of the Holders; 
  
 (7) Proceedings are
initiated against the Company under any applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or intervention law or law with similar effect, or under any other law for the relief of, or relating to, debtors, and any such proceeding is not
dismissed or stayed within 90 days after the entering of such proceeding, or an administrator, receiver, trustee, manager, fiduciary, statutory manager, intervener or assignee for the benefit of creditors (or other similar official) is appointed to
take possession or control of all or any material part of the undertaking, property, assets or revenues of the Company; 
  
 (8) The Company initiates or consents to judicial, administrative or other proceedings relating to it under any applicable bankruptcy,
reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or intervention law or law with similar effect, or under any other law for the relief of, or relating to, debtors, or makes or enters into a conveyance, assignment, arrangement or composition with or for the
benefit of its creditors, or appoints or applies for the appointment of an administrator, receiver, trustee, manager, fiduciary, statutory manager, intervener or assignee for the benefit of creditors (or other similar official) to take possession or
control of the whole or any material part of its undertaking, property, assets or revenues, or takes any judicial, administrative or other similar proceeding under any law for a readjustment or deferment of its Indebtedness or any part of it;

  
 (9) An effective resolution is passed for, or
any authorized action is taken by any court of competent jurisdiction, directing the winding-up, dissolution or liquidation of the Company (other than in any of the circumstances referred to as exceptions in paragraph (6) above); 
  
 (10) Any event occurs that under the laws of any relevant
jurisdiction has substantially the same effect as any of the events referred to in any of paragraphs (6), (7), (8) or (9) of this Section 5.01. 
  

 52 








 (11) Any action, condition or thing (including the obtaining or effecting of any
necessary consent, approval, authorization, exemption, filing, license, order, recording or registration) at any time required to be taken, fulfilled or done in order to (i) enable the Company lawfully to enter into, exercise its rights and perform
and comply with its obligations under this Indenture, (ii) ensure that those obligations under this Indenture are legally binding and enforceable or (iii) make this Indenture admissible in evidence in the courts of Brazil and the Cayman Islands that
is not taken, fulfilled or done within ten calendar days after notice thereof has been given to the Company by the Trustee or once any such authorization or consent has been given, is removed, withdrawn, modified, withheld or otherwise fails to
remain valid and subsisting in full force and effect within ten calendar days after notice of such removal, withdrawal, modification, withholding or failure has been given to the Company by the Trustee; 
  
 (12) This Indenture or any part thereof shall cease to be in
full force and effect or binding and enforceable against the Company, it becomes unlawful for the Company to perform any material obligation under this Indenture, or the Company shall contest the enforceability of this Indenture or deny that it has
liability under this Indenture; and 
  
 (13)
Petrobras fails to retain at least 51% direct or indirect ownership of the outstanding voting and economic interests (equity or otherwise) of and in the Company. 
  
 Section 5.02 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. 
  
 If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section
5.01(6), 5.01(7), 5.01(8) or 5.01(9)) 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 such series may declare the principal amount (or, if any of the Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount of such Securities as may be specified in the terms thereof) of all
of the Securities of such series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount) shall become immediately
due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(6), 5.01(7), 5.01(8) or 5.01(9) 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 and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if: 
  
 (1) the Company 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 and Additional Amounts, 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, 
  

 53 








 (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 
  
 (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 all other amounts due to the Trustee under
Section 6.07; 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 has become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.13. 

 
 No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right
consequent thereon. 
  
 Section 5.03 Collection
of Indebtedness and Suits for enforcement by Trustee. 
  
 The
Company covenants that if: 
  
 (1) default is
made in the payment of any interest or payment of any additional interest or Additional Amounts 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 and such default continues for a period of 14 days, 
  
 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, including Additional Amounts, 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, and all amounts due the
Trustee under Section 6.07. 
  
 If an Event of Default with
respect to Securities of any series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the
Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper
remedy. 
  
 Section 5.04 Trustee May File Proofs
of Claim. 
  
 In case of any judicial proceeding relative to the
Company or any other obligor upon the Securities of a series or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, 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 of that series of Securities and the Trustee allowed in any such proceeding. In particular, the Trustee shall be authorized 
  

 54 








 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 of that series of Securities to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the
event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders of that series of Securities, 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 to the Trustee under Section 6.07. 
  
 No provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder of a Security 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 of a Security in any such proceeding provided, however, that the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders
of Securities, vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a creditors’ or other similar committee. 
  
 Section 5.05 Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities. 
  
 All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee
without the possession of any of the Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of
judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to the Trustee under Section 6.07, be for the ratable benefit of
the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such judgment has been recovered. 
  
 Section 5.06 Application of Money Collected. 
  
 Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in
case of the distribution of such money on account of principal or 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 6.07; 
  
 SECOND: To the payment of the
amounts then due and unpaid for principal of and any premium and interest and any Additional Amounts 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; and 
  
 THIRD: To the payment of the balance, if any, to the Company. 
  
 Section 5.07 Limitation on Suits. 
  
 No Holder of any Security of any series shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with
respect to this Indenture, the Securities 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 such
series; 
  

 55 








 (2) the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of
such 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; 
  

(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 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, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all of such Holders. 
  
 Section 5.08 Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive
Principal, Premium and Interest and to Convert. 
  
 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and any premium and (subject to Sections 3.04, 3.05 and
3.07) interest and any Additional Amounts on such Security on the respective Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such
payment, and, if such Security is convertible or exchangeable, to convert or exchange such Security in accordance with this Indenture and to institute suit for the enforcement of such right to convert or to receive Securities upon conversion and
such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. 
  
 Section 5.09 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. 
  
 If the Trustee or any Holder of any Security has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been
determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of Securities 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 5.10 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. 
  
 Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of
Section 3.06, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be
cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in 
  

 56 








 equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the
concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 
  
 Section 5.11 Delay or Omission Not Waiver. 
  
 No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Security to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of
Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders
of Securities, as the case may be. 
  
 Section
5.12 Control by Holders of Securities. 
  
 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, 
  
 (2) the Trustee may take any other action deemed necessary by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction, and 

 
 (3) the Trustee need not follow any such direction if
doing so would in its reasonable discretion either involve it in personal liability or be unduly prejudicial to Holders of Securities not joining in such direction. 
  
 Section 5.13 Waiver of Past Defaults. 
  
 Subject to Section 5.02, the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any
series may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series waive any past default hereunder with respect to such series of the Company and its consequences, except a default 
  
 (1) in the payment of the principal of or any premium,
interest or Additional Amounts on any Security of such series of the Company, 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, or 
  
 (3) in the conversion or exchange of any Security of such series of such Company and the delivery of Securities upon conversion. 
  

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. 
  

 57 








 Section 5.14 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 reasonable costs,
including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses, 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 Company, in any suit instituted by the Trustee, in any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, or in any suit instituted by any Holder of any Security for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any Security on or after the Stated Maturity
or Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date) or for the enforcement of any right to convert such Security pursuant to this Indenture. 
  
 Section 5.15 Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws.

  
 The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do
so) that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury law or other law that would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any
portion of the principal of or interest on the Notes as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture. The Company hereby expressly waives (to the
extent that it may lawfully do so) 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.

obligation. 
  
 Section 6.14 Appointment of
Authenticating Agent.

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, 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.

Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the
Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor
Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall give notice of such appointment in the manner provided in Section 1.06 to all Holders of Securities of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve. Any

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

Officer’s 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, if the Company (or any such obligor) shall be in default, specifying all such defaults and the nature and status thereof of which they may have knowledge. Within 15 days (or promptly
with respect to Events of Default pursuant to Sections 5.01(4), 5.01(5) and 5.01(6) hereunder) after the Company becomes aware or should reasonably become aware of the occurrence of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 5.01 hereunder, the Company
shall provide notice to the Trustee of such occurrence, accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate of the Company setting forth the details thereof. 
  
 Section 10.14 Provision of Financial Statements and Reports.

 Section 10.15 Further Actions.

of the Trustee, in accordance with applicable Laws (as applicable) to be taken, fulfilled or done in order to (i) to enable the Company to lawfully enter into, exercise its rights and perform and comply with its obligations under each series of the
Securities and this Indenture, (ii) to ensure that the Company’s obligations under each series of the Securities and this Indenture are legally binding and enforceable, (iii) to make each series of the Securities and this Indenture admissible

any of the Trustee’s rights under, this Indenture, and (vi) to assist the Trustee in the Trustee’s performance of its obligations under this Indenture; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to take any action
contemplated herein if it promptly (and in no event later than two Business Days after any such request) provides to the Trustee a written Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee specifying that the failure to take such action or
satisfy such condition would not have an adverse effect on the rights of the Holders under this Indenture. 
  
 Section 10.16 Appointment to Fill a Vacancy in Office of Trustee. 
  
 The Company, whenever necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in the office of Trustee, will appoint in the manner provided in
Section 6.10, a successor Trustee, so that there shall at all times be a Trustee with respect to the Securities. 
  
 Section 10.17 Payments and Paying Agents. 
  
 The Company will, prior to 3:00 p.m. New York City time, on the Business Day preceding any payment date of the principal of or interest on any series of
Securities or other amounts (including Additional Amounts), deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay such principal, interest or other amounts (including Additional Amounts) so becoming due. 
  

 75 








 Whenever the Company shall appoint a Paying Agent other than the Trustee with respect to any series of
Securities, it will cause such Paying Agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section: 
  
 (1) that it will hold all sums received by it as such agent
for the payment of the principal of or interest on any Securities (whether such sums have been paid to it by or on behalf of the Company or by any other obligor on the Securities) in trust for the benefit of the Holders or of the Trustee;

  
 (2) that it will give the Trustee notice of
any failure by the Company (or by any other obligor on the Securities) to make any payment of the principal of or interest on any series of Securities (including Additional Amounts) and any other payments to be made by or on behalf of the Company
under this Indenture or the Securities when the same shall be due and payable; and 
  
 (3) that it will pay any such sums so held in trust by it to the Trustee upon the Trustee’s written request at any time during the
continuance of the failure referred to in Clause (ii) above. 
  
 The Trustee shall arrange with all such Paying Agents for the payment, from funds furnished by the Company to the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture, of the principal of and interest and other amounts due on the Securities (including
Additional Amounts) and of the compensation of such Paying Agents for their services as such. 
  
 If the Company shall 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 interest on such series of Securities, set aside, segregate and
hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders of such series of Securities a sum sufficient to pay such principal or interest (including Additional Amounts) so becoming due. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any failure to take action.

  
 Anything in this Section 10.17 to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining a satisfaction and discharge with respect to any series of Securities hereunder, or for any other reason, pay or cause to be paid to the Trustee all sums held in trust for
such series of Securities by the Company or any Paying Agent hereunder, as required by this Section, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the trusts herein contained. 
  
 Anything in this Section 10.17, to the contrary notwithstanding, the agreements to hold sums in trust as provided in this
Section are subject to the provisions of Section 4.02. 
  
 The
Company agrees to indemnify the Holders against any failure on the part of any Paying Agent to pay, in accordance with the terms hereof, any sum due in respect of any series of Securities on the applicable Payment Date. 
  
 Section 10.18 Waiver of Certain Covenants. 
  
 Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for
Securities of such series, 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 
  

 76 








 3.01(23), 9.01(2) or 9.01(6) for the benefit of the Holders of Securities of such series or any term, provision or
condition set forth in an indenture supplemental hereto, 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. 
  
 Section 10.19 Additional Amounts. 
  
 Unless otherwise specified in any Board Resolution of the Company or indenture supplemental hereto establishing the terms
of Securities of a series in accordance with Section 3.01, if any deduction or withholding for any present or future taxes, assessments or other governmental charges of Brazil (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein)
shall at any time be required by Brazil (or any such political subdivision or taxing authority) in respect of any amounts to be paid by the Company of principal of or interest on a Security of any series, the Company will pay to the Holder of a
Security of such series such additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the net amounts paid to such Holder of such Security who, with respect to any such tax, assessment or other governmental charge, is not resident in Brazil, after such
deduction or withholding, shall be not less than the amounts specified in such Security to which such Holder is entitled (“Additional Amounts”); provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to make any payment of Additional
Amounts for or on account of: 
  
 (1) any tax,
assessment or other governmental charge which would not have been imposed but for (i) the existence of any present or former connection between such Holder or the beneficial owner of the Security of such series (or between a fiduciary, settler,
beneficiary, member or shareholder of, or possessor of a power over, such Holder or beneficial owner, if such Holder or beneficial owner is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation) and Brazil or any political subdivision or territory or
possession thereof or area subject to its jurisdiction other than the mere holding of a Security or receipt of payment in respect thereto, including, without limitation, such Holder or beneficial owner (or such fiduciary, settler, beneficiary,
member, shareholder or possessor) being or having been a citizen or resident thereof or being or having been present or engaged in trade or business therein or having or having had a permanent establishment therein or (ii) the presentation of a
Security of such series (where presentation is required) for payment on a date more than 30 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later;

  
 (2) any estate, inheritance, gift, sale,
transfer, personal property or similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge; 
  
 (3) any amount required to be deducted or withheld by any Paying Agent from a payment on or in respect of the Security, if such payment
can be made without such deduction or withholding by any other Paying Agent and we duly provide for such other Paying Agent to make such payment; 
  
 (4) withholding for any taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges that are payable otherwise than by deduction or
withholding from payments on the Security; 
  

 77 








 (5) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld by
reason of the failure to comply by the Holder or the beneficial owner of the Security of such series with a request of the Company addressed to the Holder (i) to provide information concerning the nationality, residence or identity of the Holder or
such beneficial owner or (ii) to make any declaration or other similar claim or satisfy any information or reporting requirements, which, in the case of (i) or (ii), is required or imposed by a statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice
of Brazil as a precondition to exemption from all or part of such tax, assessment or other governmental charge; 
  
 (6) where any Additional Amounts are imposed on a payment on the Notes to an individual and is required to be made pursuant to any
European Union directive on the taxation of savings income relating to the directive approved by the European Parliament on March 14, 2002 or otherwise implementing the conclusions of the Economic and Financial Council of Ministers of the member
states of the European Union (ECOFIN) Council meeting of 26 and 27 November 2000 or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, any such Directive; or 
  
 (7) any combination of items (1), (2), (3), (4), (5) and (6) above. 
  
 nor shall Additional Amounts be paid with respect to any payment in respect of any Security
to any Holder or beneficial owner who is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent such payment would be required by the laws of Brazil (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof
or therein) to be included in the income for tax purposes of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary or a member of such partnership or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to such Additional Amounts had it been the
Holder or beneficial owner, as the case may be, of such Security. Subject to the foregoing provisions, whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on, or in respect of,
any Security of any series or the net proceeds received on the sale or exchange of any Security of any series, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts provided for in this Section to the extent that, in
such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this Section and express mention of the payment of Additional Amounts (if applicable) in any provisions hereof shall not be construed as
excluding Additional Amounts in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made. 
  
 If the terms of the Securities of a series established as contemplated by Section 3.01 do not specify that Additional Amounts pursuant to the Section
will not be payable by the Company, at least ten days prior to the first Interest Payment Date with respect to that series of Securities (or if the Securities of that series will not bear interest on or prior to Maturity, the first day on which a
payment of principal and any premium is made), and at least ten days prior to each date of payment of principal and any premium or interest if there has been any change with respect to the matters set forth in the below-mentioned Officer’s
Certificate, the Company will furnish the Trustee and the Company’s principal Paying Agent or Paying Agents, if other than the Trustee, with an Officer’s Certificate instructing the Trustee and such Paying Agent or Paying Agents whether
such payment of principal of and any premium or interest on the Securities of that series shall be made to Holders of Securities of that series without withholding for or on account of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge described in
the Securities of that series. If any such withholding shall be required, then such Officer’s Certificate shall specify the amount, if any, required to be withheld on such payments to such Holders of Securities and the Company will pay to the
Trustee or such Paying Agent or Paying Agents the Additional Amounts required by this Section. The Company covenants to indemnify each of the Trustee and any Paying 
  

 78 








 Agent for, and to hold each of them harmless against, any reasonable loss, liability or expense arising out of or in
connection with actions taken or omitted by any of them in reliance on any Officer’s Certificate furnished pursuant to this Section, except to the extent that any such loss, liability or expense is due to its own negligence or bad faith.

 The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as a “mandatory sinking fund payment,” and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the
terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment”. If provided for by the terms of Securities, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section
12.02. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities of any series as provided for by the terms of such Securities. 
  
 Section 12.02 Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities. 
  
 The Company (i) may deliver Outstanding Securities of a series (other than any previously called for redemption) and (ii)
may apply as 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
Securities, in each case in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities of such series required to be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities as provided for by the terms of such Securities;
provided that the Securities to be 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 12.03 Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund. 
  
 Not less than 60 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee
an Officer’s 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 of that series pursuant to Section 12.02 and will also deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so delivered. Not less than 50 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 11.03 and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expenses of the Company

in Section 13.01, by written request setting forth in reasonable detail the action proposed to be taken at the meeting, and the Trustee shall not have made the first publication of the notice of such meeting within 21 days after receipt of such
request or shall not thereafter proceed to cause the meeting to be held as provided herein, then the Company or the Holders of Securities of such series in the amount specified above, as the case may be, may determine the time and the place in the
Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York for such meeting and may call such meeting for such purposes by giving notice thereof as provided in subsection (1) of this Section. 
  
 Section 13.03 Persons Entitled to Vote at Meetings. 
  
 To be entitled to vote at any meeting of Holders of Securities of any
series, a Person shall be (i) a Holder on a record date established pursuant to Section 1.04(3) of one or more Outstanding Securities of such series, or (ii) a Person appointed by an instrument in writing as proxy for a Holder or Holders of one or
more Outstanding Securities of such series by such Holder or Holders. The only Persons who shall be entitled to be present or to speak at any meeting of Holders of Securities of any series shall be the Persons entitled to vote at such meeting and

of Securities of such series. In the absence of a quorum within 15 minutes (or such longer period not exceeding 30 minutes as the chairman may decide) of the time appointed for any such meeting, the meeting shall if convened upon the requisition of
Holders be dissolved. In any other case it shall stand adjourned to the same day in the next week (or if such day is not a business day the next succeeding business day) at the same time and place. If within 15 minutes (or such longer period not
exceeding 30 minutes as the chairman may decide) after the time 
  

 83 








 appointed for any adjourned meeting a quorum is not present for the transaction of any particular business, then, subject
and without prejudice to the transaction of the business (if any) for which a quorum is present, the chairman may either (with the approval of the Trustee) dissolve such meeting or adjourn the same for such period, being not less than ten calendar
days (but without any maximum number of calendar days), and to such place as may be appointed by the chairman either at or subsequent to such adjourned meeting and approved by the Trustee, and the provisions of this sentence shall apply to all
further adjourned such meetings.

 Any resolution passed or decision taken at any meeting of Holders of Securities of any series duly held in accordance with
this Section shall be binding on all the Holders of Securities of such series, whether or not presented or represented at the meeting. However, for the avoidance of doubt, no actions taken at such meeting shall be binding on all Holders of
Securities unless such actions were approved by the minimum percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of the series as required elsewhere in this Indenture or under the Trust Indenture Act with respect to such actions. 

 
 Section 13.05 Determination of Voting Rights; Conduct and
Adjournment of Meetings.

proxies and in regard to the appointment and duties of inspectors of votes, the submission and examination of proxies, certificates and other evidence of the right to vote, and such other matters concerning the conduct of the meeting as it shall
deem appropriate. Except as otherwise permitted or required by any such regulations, the holding of Securities shall be proved in the manner specified in Section 1.04 and the appointment of any proxy shall be proved in the manner specified in
Section 1.04. Such regulations may provide that written instruments appointing proxies, regular on their face, may be presumed valid and genuine without the proof specified in Section 1.04 or other proof. 
  
 (b) The Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing, appoint a temporary
chairman of the meeting, unless the meeting shall have been called by the Company or by Holders of Securities as provided in Section 13.02(2), in which case the Company or the Holders of Securities of the series calling the meeting, as the case may
be, shall in like manner appoint a temporary chairman. A permanent chairman and a permanent secretary of the meeting shall be elected by vote of the Persons entitled to vote a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series
represented at the meeting. 
  
 (c) At any meeting each Holder of
a Security of such series or proxy shall be entitled to one vote for each $1,000 principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series held or represented by him; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or counted at any meeting in
respect of any Security challenged as not Outstanding and ruled by the chairman of the meeting to be not Outstanding. The chairman of the meeting shall have no right to vote, except as a Holder of a Security of such series or proxy. 
  
 (d) Any meeting of Holders of Securities of any series duly called pursuant
to Section 13.02 at which a quorum is present may be adjourned from time to time by Persons entitled to 
  

 84 








 vote a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series represented at the meeting, and the
meeting may be held as so adjourned without further notice. 
  
 Section 13.06 Counting Votes and Recording Action of Meetings.

shall appoint two inspectors of votes who shall count all votes cast at the meeting for or against any resolution and who shall make and file with the secretary of the meeting their verified written reports in duplicate of all votes cast at the
meeting. A record, at least in duplicate, of the proceedings of each meeting of Holders of Securities of any series shall be prepared by the secretary of the meeting and there shall be attached to said record the original reports of the inspectors
of votes on any vote by ballot taken thereat and affidavits by one or more persons having knowledge of the facts setting forth a copy of the notice of the meeting and showing that said notice was given as provided in Section 13.02 and, if

 DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE 
  
 Section 14.01 Company’s Option to Effect Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 
  
 The Company may elect, at its option at any time, to have Section 14.02 or
Section 14.03 applied to any Securities or any series of Securities designated pursuant to Section 3.01 as being defeasible pursuant to such Section 14.02 or 14.03, in accordance with any applicable requirements provided pursuant to Section 3.01 and
upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article. Any such election shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution or in another manner specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for such Securities. 
  
 Section 14.02 Defeasance and Discharge. 
  
 Upon the Company’s exercise of its option to have this Section applied

conditions set forth in Section 14.04 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: (i) the rights of Holders of such Securities to receive, solely from the trust fund described in Section 14.04 and as more fully set forth in such

9.01(2) or 9.0l(7) for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, and (ii) the occurrence of any event specified in Section 5.01(3) 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 14.04 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 5.01(3)), 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 14.04 Conditions to Defeasance or
Covenant Defeasance. 
  
 The following shall be the conditions
to the application of Section 14.02 or Section 14.03 to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be:

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 to pay and discharge, the principal of and any premium, interest
and Additional Amounts 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 (A) 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 (B) an obligation of a Person controlled or supervised by and acting as any 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 (A) or (B), is not callable or redeemable at the option of the issuer thereof,
and (y) any depositary 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 principle or interest evidenced by such depositary
receipt. 
  

 86

series of Securities, as the case may be, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (i) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (ii) since the
date of this instrument, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. Federal income tax law, in either case (i) or (ii) to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders of such Securities will not recognize gain
or loss for U.S. 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 14.03 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 the effected with
respect to such Security 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
Opinion of Counsel 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.

would become, an 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 5.01(6), 5.01(7), 5.01(8) and
5.01(9), at any time on or prior to the day which is 90 days after the date of such deposit (it being understood that this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until after such day which is 90 days after the date of such deposit). 
  
 (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. 
  
 (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 14.05 Deposited Money and U.S. Government Obligations to Be Held in Trust;
Miscellaneous Provisions. 
  
 Subject to the provisions of the
last paragraph of Section 10.17, all money and U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 14.04 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 14.04, 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 Order any money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 14.04 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 14.06 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 of
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 14.02 or 14.03 shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article 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.

  
 This instrument may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.
