		Section 1.04	Acts of Holders.



 


(a)   Any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders may
be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by agent
duly appointed in writing. Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument
or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such instrument or instruments
(and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders
signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent, or
of the holding by any Person of a Security, shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 315
of the Trust Indenture Act) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company and any agent of the Trustee or the Company, if
made in the manner provided in this Section.


 


Without limiting the generality of this
Section 1.04, unless otherwise established in or pursuant to a Board Resolution or set forth or determined in an Officer’s
Certificate, or established in one or more indentures supplemental hereto, pursuant to Section 3.01, a Holder, including a
U.S. Depository that is a Holder of a global Security, may make, give or take, by a proxy, or proxies, duly appointed in writing,
any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided in this Indenture to be made, given
or taken by Holders, and a U.S. Depository that is a Holder of a global Security may provide its proxy or proxies to the beneficial
owners of interests in any such global Security through such U.S. Depository’s standing instructions and customary practices.


 


Other than in those situations set forth
in 1.04(d), the Trustee shall fix a record date, which shall be not more than 30 days prior to the first solicitation of such Holders,
for the purpose of determining the Persons who are beneficial owners of interest in any permanent global Security held by a U.S.
Depository entitled under the procedures of such U.S. Depository to make, give or take, by a proxy or proxies duly appointed in
writing, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided in this Indenture to be
made, given or taken by Holders. If such a record date is fixed, the Holders on such record date or their duly appointed proxy
or proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to make, give or take such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date. No such request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action shall be valid or effective if made, given or taken more than 90 days after
such record date.


 


(b)   The fact and date of
the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved in any reasonable manner which the Trustee deems sufficient
and in accordance with such reasonable rules as the Trustee may determine; and the Trustee may in any instance require further
proof with respect to any of the matters referred to in this Section.


 


(c)   The ownership, principal
amount and serial numbers of Securities held by any Person, and the date of the commencement and the date of termination of holding
the same, shall be proved by the Security Register.


 


(d)   If the Company shall
solicit from the Holders of any Securities any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act,
the Company may at its option, by Board Resolutions, fix in advance a record date, which shall be not more than 30 days prior to
the first solicitation of such Holders, for the determination of Holders of Securities entitled to give such request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so. If such a record date is fixed,
such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act may be given before or after such record date,
but only the Holders of Securities of record at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the
purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of Outstanding Securities have authorized or agreed or consented
to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, and for that purpose the Outstanding Securities
shall be computed as of such record date; provided no such authorization, agreement or consent of the Holders of Securities shall
be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than six months after
the record date.

(e)   Any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Security shall bind every future Holder
of the same Security and the Holder of every Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor
or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done or suffered to be done by the Trustee, any Security Registrar, any Paying Agent
or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security.


 


		Section 1.05	Notices, Etc., to Trustee and Company.



 


Any request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished
to, or filed with,


 


(1)   the Trustee by any
Holder or by the Company shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with
a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, or


 


(2)   the Company by the
Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing
and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Company addressed to the attention of its Treasurer at the address of its principal
office specified in the first paragraph of this Indenture or at any other address previously furnished in writing to a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee by the Company.


 


		Section 1.06	Notice to Holders; Waiver.



 


Except as otherwise expressly provided herein
or in any Security, where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given to
Holders if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at his address as it appears
in the Security Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of
such Notice. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any
notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Any notice
which is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given or provided. In the case by
reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice
by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for
every purpose hereunder.


 


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


 


Notwithstanding any other provision herein,
where this Indenture provides for notice of any event to any Holder of an interest in a Global Security (whether by mail or otherwise),
such notice shall be sufficiently given if given to the Depository for such Security (or its designee), according to the applicable
procedures of such Depository, if any, prescribed for the giving of such notice.


 


		Section 1.07	Language of Notices.



 


Any request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent, election or waiver required or permitted under this Indenture shall be in the English language, except that, if
the Company so elects, any published notice may be in an official language of the country of publication.


 


		Section 1.08	Conflict With Trust Indenture Act.



 


If any provision hereof limits, qualifies
or conflicts with the duties imposed pursuant to Section 318(c) of the Trust Indenture Act, such imposed duties shall
control.

Nothing in this Indenture or any Security express or implied,
shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto, any Security Registrar, any Paying Agent and their successors hereunder
and the Holders, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.


 


		Section 1.13	Governing Law.



 


This Indenture and the Securities shall
be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of North Carolina, applicable to agreements made or instruments
entered into and, in each case, performed in said state; provided, however, that the rights, immunities, duties and liabilities
of the Trustee will be governed by New York law.


 


		Section 1.14	Legal Holidays.



 


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


 


		Section 1.15	When Securities Disregarded.



 


In determining whether the Holders of the
required aggregate principal amount of Securities have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Securities owned by the Company
or any Affiliate of the Company shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding, except that, for the purpose of determining
whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Securities which a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Also, subject to the foregoing, only Securities outstanding
at the time shall be considered in any such determination.


 


		Section 1.16	USA Patriot Act.



 


The parties hereto acknowledge that in accordance
with Section 326 of the USA Patriot Act, the Trustee, like all financial institutions and in order to help fight the funding
of terrorism and money laundering, is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person or legal entity
that establishes a relationship or opens an account. The parties to this Indenture agree that they shall provide the Trustee with
such information as they may request in order to satisfy the requirements of the USA Patriot Act.

forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or
military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications
or computer (software and hardware) services; it being understood that the Trustee shall use reasonable efforts which are consistent
with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.


 


		Section 1.18	Calculations.



 


Except as otherwise provided herein, the
Company will be responsible for making all calculations called for under this Indenture or the Notes. The Company will make all
such calculations in good faith and, absent manifest error, its calculations will be final and binding on the Holders. The Company
will provide a schedule of its calculations to the Trustee and the Trustee is entitled to rely conclusively upon the accuracy of
such calculations without independent verification. The Trustee will deliver a copy of such schedule to any Holder upon the written
request of such Holder.

which interest, if any, shall accrue and except as may otherwise be provided by the Company in or pursuant to one or more Board
Resolutions and set forth in such Officer’s Certificate or in any indenture or indentures supplemental hereto pertaining
to such series of Securities. All Securities of any one series need not be issued at the same time and, unless otherwise so provided
by the Company, a series may be reopened for issuances of additional Securities of such series.


 


If any of the terms of the Securities of
any series were established by action taken by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, the Board Resolution shall be delivered to the
Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Officer’s Certificate setting forth the terms of such series.

Section
3.02           Denominations.


 


Unless otherwise established with respect
to any Securities pursuant to Section 3.01, the Securities of each series denominated in Dollars shall be issuable in registered
form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. Securities not denominated in Dollars shall
be issuable in such denominations as are established with respect to such Securities pursuant to Section 3.01.


 


Section
3.03           [Intentionally Omitted]


 


Section
3.04           Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.


 


The Securities shall be executed on behalf
of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, its President, its Chief Operating Officer or one of its Executive Vice Presidents
and attested by its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities may
be manual or facsimile.


 


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


 


At any time and from time to time after
the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series, executed by the Company, to the
Trustee for authentication, and, provided that the Board Resolution or Resolutions and Officer’s Certificate or supplemental
indenture or indentures with respect to such Securities referred to in Section 3.01 and a Company Order for the authentication
and delivery of such Securities, has been delivered to the Trustee, the Trustee in accordance with the Company Order and subject
to the provisions hereof of such Securities shall authenticate and deliver such Securities.


 


The Trustee shall not be required to authenticate
or to cause an Authenticating Agent to authenticate any Securities if the issue of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will
affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in
a manner which is not acceptable to the Trustee or if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not
lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith shall determine that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability
to existing Holders.


 


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 in Section 2.02 or 6.12 executed by or on behalf of the Trustee by the manual signature
of one of its authorized officers, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence,
that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.


 


Section
3.05           Temporary Securities.


 


Pending the preparation of definitive Securities
of any series, the Company may execute and deliver to the Trustee and, upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver,
in the manner provided in Section 3.04, temporary Securities of such series which are printed, lithographed, typewritten,
photocopied 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 without coupons and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and
other variations as the officers of the Company executing such Securities may determine, as conclusively evidenced by their execution
of such Securities. In the case of Securities of any series, such temporary Securities may be in global form.


 




    	15



    	 



    

  


Except in the case of temporary Securities
in global form, which shall be exchanged in accordance with the provisions thereof, if temporary Securities of any series are issued,
the Company shall cause definitive Securities of such series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of
definitive Securities of any series, the temporary Securities of such series, if any, shall be exchangeable upon request for definitive
Securities of such series containing identical terms and provisions upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such series at
an office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 10.02, without charge to any Holder. Upon
surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any series, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Securities of authorized denominations of the
same series containing identical terms and provisions. Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 with respect
to a temporary global Security, until so exchanged the temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to
the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series.


 


Section
3.06           Registration, Transfer and Exchange.


 


With respect to the Securities of each series,
if any, the Company shall cause to be kept, at an office or agency of the Company maintained pursuant to Section 10.02, a
register (each such register being herein sometimes 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 the Securities of each series and
of transfers of the Securities of such series. In the event that the Trustee shall not be the Security Registrar, it shall have
the right to examine the Security Register at all reasonable times. [                    ] is hereby initially appointed as Security Registrar for
each series of Securities. In the event that the Trustee shall cease to be Security Registrar with respect to a series of Securities,
the Trustee shall have the right to examine the Security Register for such series at all reasonable times.


 


Upon surrender for registration of transfer
of any Security of any series at any office or agency of the Company maintained for such series pursuant to Section 10.02,
the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees,
one or more new Securities of the same series of any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount bearing a number
not contemporaneously outstanding and containing identical terms and provisions.


 


At the option of the Holder, Securities
of any series may be exchanged for other Securities of the same series containing identical terms and provisions, in any authorized
denominations, and of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at any such office or
agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.


 


Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as
otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01, any global Security of any series shall be exchangeable for Securities
of such series only if (i) the Securities Depository is at any time unwilling or unable or ineligible to continue as Securities
Depository and a successor depository is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of the date the Company is so notified in
writing, (ii) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee a Company Order to the effect that such global Security shall
be so exchangeable, or (iii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Securities and the Company
or the Depository shall request such exchange. If the beneficial owners of interests in a global Security are entitled to exchange
such interests for Securities of such series and of like tenor and principal amount of any authorized form and denomination, as
specified as contemplated by Section 3.01, then without unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the earliest date
on which such interests may be so exchanged, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee definitive Securities of that series in aggregate
principal amount equal to the principal amount of such global Security, executed by the Company. On or after the earliest date
on which such interests may be so exchanged, such global Security shall be surrendered from time to time by the U.S. Depository
or such other depository as shall be specified in the Company Order with respect thereto, and in accordance with instructions given
to the Trustee and the U.S. Depository or such other depository, as the case may be (which instructions shall be in writing but
need not comply with Section 1.02 or be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel), as shall be specified in the Company Order
with respect thereto to the Trustee, as the Company’s agent for such purpose, to be exchanged, in whole or in part, for definitive
Securities of the same series without charge. The Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, in exchange for each
portion of such surrendered global 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 global Security to be exchanged; provided, however, that no such exchanges
may occur during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before any selection of Securities of such series to be
redeemed and ending on the relevant Redemption Date. Promptly following any such exchange in part, such global Security shall be
returned by the Trustee to such Depository or the U.S. Depository, as the case may be, or such other Depository or U.S. Depository
referred to above in accordance with the instructions of the Company referred to above. If a Security is issued in exchange for
any portion of a global Security after the close of business at the office or agency where such exchange occurs on (i) any
Regular Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the relevant Interest Payment Date, or (ii) any
Special Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the related proposed date for payment of interest
or Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, interest will not be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment,
as the case may be, in respect of such Security, but will be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment,
as the case may be, only to the Person to whom interest in respect of such portion of such global Security is payable in accordance
with the provisions of this Indenture.


  




    	16



    	 



    

 


 


All Securities endorsed thereon issued upon
any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company evidencing the same debt,
and entitling the Holders thereof to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Securities surrendered upon such registration
of transfer or exchange.


 


Every Security presented or surrendered
for registration of transfer or for exchange, redemption or conversion shall (if so required by the Company or the Security Registrar
for such series of Security presented) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory
to the Company and such Security Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.


 


No service charge shall be made for any
registration of transfer or exchange, redemption or conversion of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of
Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 3.05, 9.06 or 11.07 not involving any transfer.


 


Except as otherwise specified as contemplated
by Section 3.01, the Company shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Securities
of any series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the selection for redemption of Securities
of such series under Section 11.03 and ending at the close of business on the day of such selection, or (ii) to register
the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except in the case of any Security to
be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed, or (iii) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Security
which, in accordance with its terms specified as contemplated by Section 3.01, has been surrendered for repayment at the option
of the Holder, except the portion, if any, of such Security not to be repaid.


 


Section
3.07           Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.


 


If any mutilated Security is surrendered
to the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 3.07, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same series containing identical terms and of like principal amount and
bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.


 


If there be delivered to the Company and
to 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 bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and
upon its request in a Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same series containing identical terms and of like principal amount and
bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.


 


Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions
of this Section 3.07, 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.


 




    	17



    	 



    

  


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 a separate obligation of the Company,
whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all
the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of that series.


 


The provisions of this Section are
exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities.


 


Section
3.08           Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.


 


Interest on any Security which is payable,
and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security
(or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered as of the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest.


 


Any interest on any Security of any series
which shall be payable, but shall not be punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date for such Security (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 affected (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 such Security 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. Money will be held in
trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this Clause provided. The Company also shall fix
a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days
prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed
payment. The Trustee, 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 sent to each Holder of such Securities at his address as it appears in the
Security Register not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest
and the Special Record Date therefor having been sent as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose
names such Securities (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 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 payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.


 


For any Securities of any series that bear
interest and are issued in global form, the Company shall make through the Paying Agent, all payments of principal and interest
on the Securities in immediately available funds to the Depository or its nominee, in accordance with the applicable procedures
of the Depository.  At the option of the Company, interest on Securities of any series that bear interest that are not in
global form, may be paid through the Paying Agent by mailing a check to the address of the person entitled thereto as such address
shall appear in the Security Register.


 




    	18



    	 



    

 


Subject to the foregoing provisions of this
Section and Section 3.06, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange
for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by
such other Security.


 


Section
3.09           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 premium, if
any), and (subject to Sections 3.06 and 3.08) interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to, such Security and for all
other purposes whatsoever, whether or not any payment with respect to 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
3.10           Cancellation.


 


All Securities surrendered for payment,
redemption, registration of transfer or exchange or for credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if surrendered to any Person
other than the Trustee or the Security Registrar, be delivered to the Trustee or the Security Registrar, and any such Securities
and Securities surrendered directly to the Trustee or the Security Registrar for any such purpose shall be promptly cancelled by
the Trustee or the Security Registrar, as the case may be. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee or the Security Registrar
for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner
whatsoever, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee or the Security Registrar, as the case may
be. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section, except
as expressly permitted by this Indenture or as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01. All cancelled Securities
held by the Trustee shall be retained by the Trustee and disposed in accordance with its customary practices.  The Trustee
upon written request shall promptly notify the Company of all cancelled Securities.


 


Section
3.11           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
360-day year of twelve 30-day months.


 


Section
3.12           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 will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers.

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE


 


Section
4.01           Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture.


 


Upon the direction of the Company in an
Officer’s Certificate, this Indenture shall cease to be of further effect with respect to any series of Securities specified
in such Officer’s Certificate (except as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of Securities of
such series herein expressly provided for and any right to receive Additional Amounts, as provided in Section 10.04), and
the Trustee, on receipt of an Officer’s Certificate, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging

(1)   either


 


(A)   all Securities of such
series theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (i) Securities of such series which have been destroyed, lost or
stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 3.07, and (ii) Securities of such series for whose
payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the
Company or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 10.03) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation;
or


 


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


 


(i) have become due and payable, or


 


(ii) will become due and payable at
their Stated Maturity within one year and such Securities are not convertible into other Securities, or


 


(iii) if redeemable at the option of
the Company, such Securities are not convertible into other Securities and 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, a sum of money in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness
on such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal (and premium, if any) and interest,
or any Additional Amounts with respect thereto, 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

hereunder.


 


Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge
of this Indenture, the obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Section 6.07 and, if money shall have been deposited
with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (B) of Clause (1) of this Section, the obligations of the Trustee under Section 4.02
and the last paragraph of Section 10.03 shall survive such satisfaction and discharge.


 


Section
4.02           Application of Trust Money.


 


Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph
of Section 10.03, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.01 or this section 4.02 shall be held in
trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly
or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons
entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and any interest or any Additional Amounts for whose payment such money
has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.


 


All monies deposited with the Trustee pursuant
to Section 4.01 (and held by it or any Paying Agent) for the payment of Securities subsequently converted shall be returned
to the Company upon Company Request.

4.03           Satisfaction, Discharge and Defeasance of Securities of Any Series.

the entire indebtedness on all Outstanding Securities of such series for principal (and premium, if any), any Additional Amounts,
and interest to the Stated Maturity or any Redemption Date as contemplated by the penultimate paragraph of this Section 4.03,
as the case may be; or


 


(ii)   with respect to any
Series of Securities which are denominated in United States dollars, the Company has deposited or caused to be deposited with
the Trustee, as obligations in trust for such purpose, such amount of direct obligations of, or obligations the timely payment
of the principal of and interest on which are fully guaranteed by, the United States of America and which are not callable at the
option of the issuer thereof as will, together with the income to accrue thereon without consideration of any reinvestment thereof,
be sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on all Outstanding Securities of such series for principal (and premium,
if any), any Additional Amounts, and interest to the stated Maturity or any Redemption Date as contemplated by the penultimate
paragraph of this Section 4.03; or

(3)   the Company has delivered
to the Trustee a certificate signed by a nationally recognized firm of Independent Public Accountants certifying as to the sufficiency
of the amounts deposited pursuant to subsections (A) (i) or (ii) of this Section for payment of the principal
(and premium, if any) and interest on the dates such payments are due, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel,
each such Certificate and opinion stating that no Event of Default or event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become
an Event of Default with respect to such Securities shall have occurred and all conditions precedent herein provided for relating
to the satisfaction and discharge of the entire indebtedness on all Outstanding Securities of any such series have been complied
with; and


 


(4)   the Company has delivered
to the Trustee


 


(A)   an opinion of independent
counsel, which may be based upon a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service, that the holders of the Securities of such series
will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit, defeasance and discharge and
will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times, as would have been the case
if such deposit, defeasance and discharge had not occurred; and


 


(B)   if the Securities of
such series are then listed on a national securities exchange, an Opinion of Counsel that the Securities of such series will not
be delisted as a result of the exercise of this option.


 


Any deposits with the Trustee referred to
in subsection (1) (A) of this Section shall be irrevocable. If any Outstanding Securities of such series are to
be redeemed prior to their Stated Maturity, whether pursuant to any optional redemption or repayment provisions or in accordance
with any mandatory sinking fund requirement, the Company shall make arrangements for the giving of notice of redemption by the
Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company.

set forth in this Section 4.03 with respect to all the Outstanding Securities of any series, the terms and conditions of such
series, including the terms and conditions with respect thereto set forth in this Indenture, other than the provisions of Sections
3.06, 3.07, and 10.02, other than the right of Holders of such series to receive, from the trust fund described in this Section,
payment of the principal (and premium, if any) of, the interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to such Securities when
such payments are due, other than any right of conversion of such Securities and the rights, powers, duties and immunities of the
Trustee hereunder and the Company’s obligations related thereto, shall no longer be binding upon, or applicable to, the Company
except those responsibilities and obligations which by the terms of the Indenture survive the termination of the Indenture; provided
that the Company shall not be discharged from any payment obligations in respect of Securities of such series which are deemed
not to be Outstanding under clause (iii) of the definition thereof if such obligations continue to be valid obligations of
the Company under applicable law.

property, or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, and such decree or order shall remain unstayed and in effect
for a period of 60 consecutive days;


 


(7) the Company shall commence a voluntary
case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or shall consent to the entry
of an order for relief in any involuntary case under any such law, or shall consent to the appointment of or taking possession
by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator (or similar official) of the Company or for any substantial
part of its property, or shall make any general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall fail generally to pay its debts
as they become due or shall take any corporate action in furtherance of any of the foregoing; or


 




    	22



    	 



    

   


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


 


Section
5.02           Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.


 


Unless the Board Resolution or supplemental
indenture establishing such series provides otherwise, if an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(6) or
5.01(7)) with respect to Securities of any series at the time outstanding occurs and is continuing, then the Trustee or the Holders
of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series may declare the principal of all the Securities
of that series, or such lesser amount as may be provided for in the Securities of that series, to be due and payable immediately,
by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal
or such lesser amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon, shall become immediately due and payable. Unless
the Board Resolution or supplemental indenture establishing such series provides otherwise, if an Event of Default specified in
Section 5.01(6) or 5.01(7) 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), together with accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, thereon, 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 not less than 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 installments
of interest on and any Additional Amounts payable in respect of all Securities of such series,


 


(B)   the principal of (and
premium, if any, on) any Securities of such series which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and
interest thereon at the rate or rates borne by or provided for in such Securities,


 


(C)   to the extent that payment
of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue installments of interest or any Additional Amounts at the rate or rates borne
by or provided for 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
as provided in Section 6.07 hereof; and


 


(2)   all Events of Default
with respect to Securities of such series, other than the non-payment of the principal of Securities of that series which have
become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 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 installment of interest on or any Additional Amounts payable in respect of any Security when such interest or
Additional Amounts shall have become due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or


 




    	23



    	 



    

  


(2)   default is made in
the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security at its Maturity,


 


then the Company will pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders
of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal (and premium, if any) and interest or
Additional Amounts, if any, with interest upon the overdue principal (and premium, if any) and, to the extent that payment of such
interest shall be legally enforceable, upon overdue installments of interest or any Additional Amounts, at the rate or rates borne
by or provided for in such Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs
and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents
and counsel.


 


If the Company fails to pay such amounts,
the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the
sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Company
or any other obligor upon such Securities and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law
out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities, wherever situated.


 


If an Event of Default with respect to Securities
of any series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights
of the Holders of Securities of such series by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to
protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or such
Securities 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 the pendency of any receivership,
insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative
to the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors,
the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration
or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of any overdue principal
or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise,


 


(1)   to file and prove a
claim for the whole amount or such lesser amount as may be provided for in the Securities of such series, of principal (and premium,
if any) and interest and any Additional Amounts owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities and to file such other papers or
documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents or counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding,
and


 


(2)   to collect and receive
any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;


 


and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator,
sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments
to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay
to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents
and counsel and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.07.


 


Nothing herein contained shall be deemed
to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in
respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.


 




    	24



    	 



    

  


Section
5.05           Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities.


 


All rights of action and claims under this
Indenture or any of 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 or judgment, after provision for the payment of the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, shall be for the ratable benefit of
the Holders of the Security in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.


 


Section
5.06           Application of Money or Property Collected.


 


Subject to the provisions of Article XIII,
any money or property 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 or property on account of principal (and premium,
if any), interest or any Additional Amounts, 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, its agents and any predecessor Trustee under Section 6.07;


 


SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then
due and unpaid upon the Securities for principal (and premium, if any) and interest or any Additional Amounts payable 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 aggregate amounts due and payable on such Securities for principal (and premium, if any), interest or any Additional Amounts,
respectively; and


 


THIRD: The balance, if any, to the Company
or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.


 


Section
5.07           Limitation on Suits.


 


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


 


(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;


 


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


 


(3)   such Holder or Holders
have offered indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee 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 such series;


 


it being understood and intended that no one or more of such
Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture or any Security
to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other such Holders or Holders of Securities of any other series, or to obtain
or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the
manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all such Holders.


 




    	25



    	 



    

 


Section
5.08           Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium, Interest and Additional Amounts.


 


Notwithstanding any other provision in this
Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal
of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Sections 3.06 and 3.08) interest on or any Additional Amounts in respect of such Security
on the respective Stated Maturity or Maturities specified in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date)
and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such
Holder.


 


Section
5.09           Restoration of Rights and Remedies.


 


If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted
any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any
reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case the Company, the Trustee
and each such Holder shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former
positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and each such Holder 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 3.07, no
right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right
or remedy, and every right and remedy, to the extent permitted by law, shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right
and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right
or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.


 


Section
5.11           Delay or Omission Not Waiver.


 


No delay or omission of the Trustee or of
any Holder of any Security to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy
or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or
by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee
or by the Holders, as the case may be.


 


Section
5.12           Control By Holders.


 


Subject to Section 6.03(5), 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 proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction, and


 


(3)   such direction is not
unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Securities of such series.


 


Section
5.13           Waiver of Past Defaults.


 


The Holders of not less than a majority
in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any series may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series
waive any past default hereunder with respect to such series and its consequences, except a default:


 




    	26



    	 



    

  


(1)   in the payment of the
principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on or Additional Amounts payable in respect of any Security of such series, or


 


(2)   in respect of a covenant
or provision hereof which under Article Nine cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding
Security of such series affected.


 


Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and
any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver
shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.


 


Section
5.14           Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.


 


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


 


ARTICLE
Six



THE TRUSTEE


 


Section
6.01           Certain Duties and Responsibilities.


 


		(1)	The duties and responsibilities of the Trustee shall
be as provided by the Trust Indenture Act. Without limiting the foregoing, except during the continuance of an Event of Default,



 


		(A)	the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and
only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this
Indenture against the Trustee; and



 


		(B)	in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee
may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates
or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates
or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under
a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm
or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).



 


In case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill
in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs.


 


		(2)	No provision of this Indenture shall be construed
to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct,
except that:



 


		(A)	this subsection shall not be construed to limit the
effect of subsection (1) of this Section 6.01;



 


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



 




    	27



    	 



    

  


		(C)	the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any
action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders pursuant to Section 5.12,
relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any
trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series;



 


		(D)	the Trustee, when acting in such capacity, shall not
be liable in respect of any payment (as to the correctness of amount, entitlement to receive or any other matters relating to
payment) or notice effected by the Company or any Paying Agent or any records maintained by any co-Registrar with respect to the
Notes; and



 


		(E)	if any party fails to deliver a notice relating to
an event the fact of which, pursuant to this Indenture, requires notice to be sent to the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively
rely on its failure to receive such notice as reason to act as if no such event occurred.



 


Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision
of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance
of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if an adequate indemnity against such risk or
liability is not reasonably assured to it. Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating
to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this
Section.


 


Section
6.02           Notice of Defaults.


 


Within 90 days after the occurrence of any
default hereunder with respect to the Securities of any series, the Trustee shall transmit to the Holders in the manner and to
the extent provided in Section 313(c) of the Trust Indenture Act, notice of such default hereunder known to a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee, unless such default shall have been cured or waived; provided, however, that, except in the case of a default
in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on, or any Additional Amounts with respect to, any Security
of such series or in the payment of any sinking fund installment with respect to Securities of such series, the Trustee shall be
protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of
directors and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determine that the withholding of such notice is in the interests
of the Holders of such series.


 


Section
6.03           Certain Rights of Trustee.


 


Subject to the provisions of Section 6.01:


 


(1)   the Trustee may conclusively
rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion,
report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, or other paper or document reasonably believed by it
to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;


 


(2)   any request or direction
of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate, a Company Request or a Company
Order (other than delivery of any Security to the Trustee for authentication and delivery pursuant to Section 3.04 which shall
be sufficiently evidenced as provided therein) and any resolution of the Board of Directors may be sufficiently evidenced by a
Board Resolution or Board Resolutions;


 


(3)   whenever in the administration
of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting
any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on
its part, conclusively rely upon an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel;


 


(4)   the Trustee may consult
with counsel of its selection and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization
and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon;


 




    	28



    	 



    

  


(5)   the Trustee shall be
under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of
the Holders of Securities of any series pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security
or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance
with such request or direction;


 


(6)   the Trustee shall not
be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion,
report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion,
may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine
to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company,
personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost to the Company and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any
kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation;


 


(7)   the Trustee may execute
any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and
the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care
by it hereunder;


 


(8)   the Trustee shall not
be liable for any action taken, suffered, omitted to be taken by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be authorized
or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture;


 


(9)   the Trustee shall not
be deemed to have knowledge or notice of any default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual
knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a default or Event of Default is received by a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Securities and this Indenture;


 


(10)   the rights, privileges,
protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended
to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and to each agent, custodian and other Person
employed to act hereunder; and


 


(11)  in no event shall the Trustee
be liable for special, punitive, indirect, consequential or incidental loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including lost profits),
even if the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage; and


 


(12)  any permissive right or
authority granted to the Trustee in this Indenture shall not be construed as a mandatory duty


 


Section
6.04           Not Responsible For Recitals or Issuance of Securities.


 


The recitals contained herein and in the
Securities, except the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company and neither
the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent assumes responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as
to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities, except that the Trustee represents that it is duly authorized
to execute and deliver this Indenture, authenticate the Securities and perform its obligations hereunder and that the statements
made by it in a Statement of Eligibility and Qualification on Form T-l supplied to the Company are true and accurate, subject
to the qualifications set forth therein. The Trustee or any Authenticating Agent shall not be accountable for the use or application
by the Company of Securities or the proceeds thereof.


 


Section
6.05           May Hold Securities.


 


The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any
Paying Agent, any Security Registrar or any other Person that may be an agent of the Trustee or the Company, in its individual
or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and, subject to Sections 310(b) and 311 of the Trust
Indenture Act, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent,
Paying Agent, Security Registrar or such other Person.


 




    	29



    	 



    

  


Section
6.06           Money Held In Trust.


 


Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder
need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law and shall be held uninvested. The Trustee shall be
under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder.


 


Section
6.07           Compensation and Reimbursement.


 


The Company agrees:


 


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


 


(2)   except as otherwise
expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred
or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the reasonable
expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable
to its negligence or bad faith; and


 


(3)   to indemnify each of
the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee and its agents for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability, claim, damage
or expense including taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee) incurred without
negligence or bad faith on their part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts
hereunder, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company (including this Section 6.07)
and the costs and expenses of defending themselves against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance
of any of their powers or duties hereunder.


 


The provisions of this Section 6.07
shall survive the termination of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee.


 


To secure the Company’s payment obligations
in this Section 6.07, the Trustee will have a lien prior to the Securities on all money or property held or collected
by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal and interest on particular Securities. Such lien will survive the satisfaction
and discharge of this Indenture and the resignation, removal or replacement of the Trustee.


 


Section
6.08           Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility; Conflicting Interests.


 


There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder
that is a corporation permitted by Section 310(a)(1) and (5) of the Trust Indenture Act to act as trustee under
the Trust Indenture Act and that has a combined capital and surplus (computed in accordance with Section 310(a) (2) of
the Trust Indenture Act) of at least $50,000,000. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.
If the Trustee has or shall acquire any conflicting interest, as defined in Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act,
with respect to the Securities of any series, the Trustee shall take such action as is required pursuant to said Section 310
(b).


 


Section
6.09           Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.


 


(a)   No resignation or removal
of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance
of appointment by the successor Trustee pursuant to Section 6.10.


 




    	30



    	 



    

  


(b)   The Trustee may resign
at any time with respect to the Securities of one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If the instrument
of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 6.10 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days
after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition, at the expense of the Company, any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to such series.


 


(c)   The Trustee may be
removed at any time with respect to the Securities of any series by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of such series, delivered to the Trustee and the Company. If an instrument of acceptance by a successor
Trustee shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of removal, the Trustee being
removed may petition, at the expense of the Company, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee
with respect to the Securities of such series.


 


(d)   If at any time:


 


(1)   the Trustee shall fail
to comply with the obligations imposed upon it under Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act after written request
therefor by the Company or by any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months, or


 


(2)   the Trustee shall cease
to be eligible under Section 6.08 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder
of a Security, or

incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed

appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee

any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.

and deliver to the Company and the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or
removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance,
shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company
and/or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring

as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts
and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor
Trustee relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall contain such provisions
as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with
respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested
in the retiring Trustee, and (3) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide
for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein
or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust, that each such Trustee shall be
trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee
and that no Trustee shall be responsible for any notice given to, or received by, or any act or failure to act on the part of any
other Trustee hereunder, and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring
Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein, such retiring Trustee shall with respect to the Securities of that
or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates have no further responsibility for the exercise of rights
and powers or for the performance of the duties and obligations vested in the Trustee under this Indenture other than as hereinafter
expressly set forth, and each such successor Trustee without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all
the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the
appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall
duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee, to the extent contemplated by such supplemental indenture, the property
and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment
of such successor Trustee relates.


 


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

shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under
this Article.

be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation
to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business
of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible
under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In
case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion
or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with
the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities.


 


Section
6.12           Appointment of Authenticating Agent.


 


The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating
Agent or Authenticating Agents, which may be an Affiliate of the Company, with respect to one or more series of Securities which
shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of that or those series issued upon original issue
or exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 3.07, and Securities so authenticated
shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the
Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee
or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on
behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating
Agent.


 


Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable
to the Company.


 


The Company agrees to pay each Authenticating
Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section.


 


The provisions of Sections 3.09, 6.04 and
6.05 shall be applicable to each Authenticating Agent.


 


If an appointment with respect to one or
more series is made pursuant to this Section, the Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in addition to or in lieu
of the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication in the following form:


 


This certificate represents Securities of
the series designated herein referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.


 


	Dated: [                            ]	[                                         ], 
	 	not in its individual capacity but solely as Trustee 
	 	 
	 	By: 	[                                                                      ] 
	 	As Authenticating Agent
	 	 
	 	By: 	 
	 	Authorized Signatory


 


If all of the Securities of any series may
not be originally issued at one time, and if the Trustee does not have an office capable of authenticating Securities upon original
issuance located in a Place of Payment where the Company wishes to have Securities of such series authenticated upon original issuance,
the Trustee, if so requested in writing (which writing need not comply with Section 1.02) by the Company, shall appoint in
accordance with this Section an Authenticating Agent having an office in a Place of Payment designated by the Company with
respect to such series of Securities.

benefit of the Holders of each series of Securities that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of (and premium, if any),
interest on or any Additional Amounts payable in respect of the Securities of that series in accordance with the terms of such
series of Securities and this Indenture. Unless otherwise provided with respect to a series of Securities, principal, premium,

Section
10.03           Money For Securities Payments to Be Held in Trust.

if any), or interest on, any of the Securities of that series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Person entitled

such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided, and will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.


 


Whenever the Company shall have one or more
Paying Agents for any series of Securities, it will, on or prior to each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any), or
interest on, any Securities of that series, deposit with any Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if

(4)   at any time during
the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in
trust by such Paying Agent.


 


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


 


Except as otherwise provided hereby or pursuant
hereto, any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the
principal of (and premium, if any) or interest and Additional Amounts on any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for
two years after such principal (and premium, if any) or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on Company
Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter,
as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying
Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however,
that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause
to be published once, in an English language newspaper of general circulation, published on each Business Day, in each Place of
Payment for such series or to be sent to Holders of Securities for such series, or both, notice that such money remains unclaimed
and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication or delivery nor
shall it be later than two years after such principal (and premium, if any) or interest has become due and payable, any unclaimed
balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.

Section
10.04           Additional Amounts.


 


If any Securities of a series provide for
the payment of Additional Amounts, the Company agrees to pay to the Holder of any such Security of any such series Additional Amounts
as provided therein. Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of the principal of (or premium,
if any) 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 by the terms
of such series established hereby or pursuant hereto to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would
be payable in respect thereof pursuant to such terms 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.


 


Subject to applicable unclaimed property
laws, except as otherwise provided herein or pursuant hereto, if the Securities of a series provide for the Payment of Additional
Amounts, at least 10 days prior to the first Interest Payment Date with respect to such series of Securities (or if the Securities
of that series shall not bear interest prior to Maturity, the first day on which a payment of principal (and premium, if any, is
made), and at least 10 days prior to each date of payment of principal (and premium, if any) 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 principal Paying Agent or Paying Agents, if other than the Trustee, an Officer’s Certificate instructing the Trustee
and such Paying Agent or Paying Agents whether such payment of principal (and premium, if any) of or interest on the Securities
of that series shall be made to Holders of Securities of that series who are United States Aliens without withholding for or on
account of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge described in the Securities of that series. If any such withholding
shall be required, then such Officer’s Certificate shall specify by country the amount, if any, required to be withheld on
such payments to such Holders and the Company agrees to pay to the Trustee or such Paying Agent the Additional Amounts required
by this Section. The Company covenants to indemnify the Trustee and any Paying Agent for, and to hold them harmless against, any
loss, liability or expense reasonably incurred without negligence or bad faith on their part arising out of or in connection with
actions taken or omitted by any of them in reliance on any Officer’s Certificate furnished pursuant to this Section.

with Section 1.02, signed by the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the President, the Chief Operating Officer
or an Executive Vice President and by the Chief Financial Officer, the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer of the Company, stating,

(1)   a review of the activities
of the Company during such year and of performance under this Indenture has been made under his supervision, and


 


(2)   to the best of his
knowledge, based on such review, (a) the Company has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Indenture throughout such
year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to him and
the nature and status thereof, and (b) no event has occurred and is continuing which is, or after notice or lapse of time
or both would become, an Event of Default, or, if such an event has occurred and is continuing, specifying each such event known
to him and the nature and status thereof.


 


(b)   The Company will deliver
to the Trustee as soon as possible, and in any event, within five days after the occurrence thereof, written notice of any event
which after notice or lapse of time or both would become an Event of Default.

Section
10.06           Payment of Taxes and Other Claims.


 


The Company will pay or discharge or cause
to be paid or discharged, before the same shall become delinquent, (1) all taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied
or imposed upon the Company or any Subsidiary or upon the income, profits or property of the Company or any Subsidiary, and (2) all
lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies which, if unpaid, might by law become a lien upon the property of the Company or
any subsidiary; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged
any such tax, assessment, charge or claim whose amount, applicability or validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings.


 


Section
10.07           Corporate Existence.


 


Subject to Article Eight, the Company
will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence, rights
(charter and statutory); provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right or franchise if the
Company shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and
that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders.


 


Section
10.08           Waiver of Certain Covenants.


 


Except as otherwise specified as contemplated
by Section 3.01 for Securities of such series, the Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision
or condition set forth pursuant to Section 3.01(17), or in Section 10.06 or 10.07 with respect to the Securities of any
series 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.

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES


 


Section
11.01           Applicability of Article.


 


Redemption of Securities of any series at
the option of the Company as permitted or required by the terms of such Securities shall be made in accordance with the terms of
such Securities and (except as otherwise provided herein or pursuant hereto or as specified as by Section 3.01) this Article.


 


Section
11.02           Election To Redeem; Notice To Trustee.


 


The election of the Company to redeem any
Securities shall be evidenced by Board Resolution or in such other manner specified as contemplated by Section 3.01. In case
of any redemption at the election of the Company of the Securities of any series, with the same issue date, interest rate and Stated
Maturity, the Company shall, at least 60 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall
be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date and of the principal amount of Securities of such series
to be redeemed.


 


Section
11.03           Selection By Trustee of Securities To Be Redeemed.


 


If less than all the Securities of any series
with the same issue date, interest rate, Stated Maturity and other terms are to be redeemed, the particular Securities to be redeemed
shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee from the Outstanding Securities of such series
not previously called for redemption, by lot or such other method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may
provide for the selection for redemption of portions of the principal amount of Securities of such series; provided, however, that
no such partial redemption shall reduce the portion of the principal amount of a Security of such series not redeemed to less than
the minimum denomination for a Security of such series established herein pursuant hereto.


 




    	41



    	 



    

  


If any Convertible Security selected for
partial redemption is converted in part before termination of the conversion right with respect to the portion of the Security
so selected, the converted portion of such Security shall be deemed (so far as may be) to be the portion selected for redemption.
Securities which have been converted during a selection of Securities to be redeemed shall be treated by the Trustee as Outstanding
for the purpose of such selection.


 


The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company
and the Security Registrar (if other than itself) in writing of the Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any
Securities selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.


 


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


 


Section
11.04           Notice of Redemption.


 


Notice of redemption shall be given in the
manner provided in Section 1.06, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, unless a shorter period
is specified in the Securities to be redeemed, to the Holders of Securities to be redeemed (provided notice may be given more than
60 days prior to the Redemption Date in connection with a defeasance or the satisfaction and discharge of the series). Failure
to give notice by sending in the manner herein provided to the Holder of any Securities designated for redemption as a whole or
in part, or any defect in the notice to any such Holder, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of
any other Securities or portion thereof.


 


Any notice that is sent to the Holder of
any Securities in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not such Holder
receives the notice.


 


All notices of redemption shall state:


 


(1)   the Redemption Date,


 


(2)   the Redemption Price,


 


(3)   if less than all Outstanding
Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the principal amount)
of the particular Securities to be redeemed,


 


(4)   in case any Security
is to be redeemed in part only, the notice which relates to such Security shall state that on and after the Redemption Date, upon
surrender of such Security, the Holder of such Security will receive, without charge, a new Security or Securities of authorized
denominations for the principal amount thereof remaining unredeemed,


 


(5)   in the case of Convertible
Securities, the Conversion Price then in effect, the date on which the right to convert the principal amount of the Securities
or the portions thereof to be redeemed will terminate and the place or places where such Securities may be surrendered for conversion,


 


(6)   that on the Redemption
Date the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each such Security to be redeemed and that interest thereon and Additional
Amounts, if any, shall cease to accrue on and after said date,


 


(7)   the place or places
where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price,


 


(8)   that the redemption
is for a sinking fund, if such is the case, and


 




    	42



    	 



    

  


(9)   the CUSIP number, if
any.


 


Notice of redemption of Securities to be
redeemed at the election of the Company shall be given by the Company or, at the Company’s request, by the Trustee in the
name and at the expense of the Company; provided, however, that if delivery is to be made by the Trustee the Company shall
have delivered to the Trustee, at least five Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Trustee) before notice
of redemption is required to be sent the redemption notice and a request for the Trustee to make such delivery.


 


Section
11.05           Deposit of Redemption Price.


 


On or prior to 10:00 a.m., New York
City time on any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting
as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 10.03) an amount of money sufficient to pay the
Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on and any Additional
Amounts with respect thereto, all the Securities or portions thereof which are to be redeemed on that date.


 


If any Convertible Security or portion thereof
called for redemption is converted in accordance with the terms of such Convertible Security, any money deposited with the Trustee
or so segregated and held in trust for the redemption of such Security or portion thereof shall (subject to any right of the Holder
of the Security on a Regular Record Date preceding such conversion to receive interest) be paid to the Company upon Company Request
or, if then held by the Company, shall be discharged from such trust.


 


Section
11.06           Securities Payable on Redemption Date.


 


Notice of redemption having been given as
aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein
specified, and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest)
such Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice,
such Security shall be paid by the Company through the Paying Agent at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest (or
any Additional Amounts) to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that installments of interest on Securities whose Stated Maturity
is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities,
registered as such at the close of business on the Regular Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 3.08.


 


If any Security called for redemption shall
not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal (and premium, if any) shall, until paid, bear interest from
the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed therefor in the Security.


 


Section
11.07           Securities Redeemed in Part.


 


Any Security that is not a global security
which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at any office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose pursuant
to Section 10.02 (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer
in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing)
and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service charge,
a new Security or Securities of the same series, containing identical terms and provisions, of any authorized denomination as requested
by such Holder in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security
so surrendered.

Section
11.08           Conversion Arrangements on Call for Redemption.


 


Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Indenture, in connection with any redemption of Convertible Securities of any series, the Company, by an agreement
with one or more investment bankers or other purchasers, may arrange for such purchasers to purchase all such Convertible Securities
called for redemption (the “Called Securities”) which are either (i) surrendered for redemption or (ii) not
duly surrendered for redemption or conversion prior to the close of business on the Redemption Date, and to convert the same into
shares of Common Stock, by the purchasers’ depositing with the Trustee (acting as Paying Agent with respect to the deposit
of such amount and as conversion agent with respect to the conversion of such Called Securities), in trust for the Holders of the
Called Securities, on or prior to the Redemption Date in the manner agreed to by the Company and such purchasers, an amount sufficient
to pay the Redemption Price, payable by the Company on redemption of such Called Securities. In connection with any such arrangement
for purchase and conversion, the Trustee as Paying Agent shall pay on or after the Redemption Date such amounts so deposited by
the purchasers in exchange for Called Securities surrendered for redemption prior to the close of business on the Redemption Date
and for all Called Securities surrendered after such Redemption Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Article Eleven, the obligation of the Company to pay the Redemption Price of such Called Securities shall be satisfied and
discharged to the extent such amount is so paid by such purchasers. However, nothing in this Section 11.08 shall in any way
relieve the Company of the obligation to pay such Redemption Price on all Called Securities to the extent such amount is not so
paid by said purchasers. For all purposes of this Indenture, any Called Securities surrendered by the Holders for redemption, and
any Called Securities not duly surrendered for redemption or conversion prior to the close of business on the Redemption Date,
shall be deemed acquired by such purchasers from such Holders and surrendered by such purchasers for conversion and shall in all
respects be deemed to have been converted, all as of immediately prior to the close of business on the Redemption Date, subject
to the deposit by the Purchasers of the above amount as aforesaid. Nothing in this Section 11.08 shall in any way limit the
right of any Holder of a Security to convert his Security pursuant to the terms of this Indenture and of such Security at any time
prior to the close of business on the Redemption Date applicable thereto.

Section
12.01           Applicability of Article.


 


The provisions of this Article shall
be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of a series, except as otherwise permitted or required by any
form of Security of such series issued pursuant to this Indenture.


 


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 such series is herein referred to as
an “optional sinking fund payment”. If provided for by the terms of Securities of any series, the cash amount of any
sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 12.02. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied
to the redemption of Securities of any series as provided for by the terms of Securities of such series.


 


Section
12.02           Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments With Securities.


 


The Company may, in satisfaction of all

Securities as provided for by the terms of such series (1) deliver Outstanding Securities of such series (other than any of
such Securities previously called for redemption or any of such Securities in respect of which cash shall have been released to
the Company), and (2) apply as a credit Securities of such series which have been redeemed either at the election of the Company
pursuant to the terms of such series of Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant
to the terms of such Securities, provided that such series of Securities have not been previously so credited. Such Securities
shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the Redemption Price specified in such Securities for redemption
through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly.

Section
12.03           Redemption of Securities For Sinking Fund.


 


Not less than 90 days prior to each sinking
fund payment date for any series of Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate specifying
the amount of the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment for that series pursuant to the terms of that series, the portion
thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering
and crediting of Securities of that series pursuant to Section 12.02, and the optional amount, if any, to be added in cash
to the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, and will also deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so credited and not
theretofore delivered. If such Officer’s Certificate shall specify an optional amount to be added in cash to the next ensuing
mandatory sinking fund payment, the Company shall thereupon be obligated to pay the amount therein specified. Not less than 60
days before each such sinking fund payment date the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment
date in the manner specified in Section 11.03 and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at
the expense of the Company in the manner provided in Section 11.04. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of

SUBORDINATION


  


Section
13.01           Securities Subordinated To Senior Indebtedness.


 


The Company covenants and agrees, and each
Holder of Securities, by its acceptance thereof, likewise covenants and agrees, that the indebtedness evidenced by the Securities
and the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on and any Additional Amounts payable in respect thereof
is hereby expressly subordinated, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, in right of payment to the prior payment
in full of Senior Indebtedness.


 


Anything in this Indenture or in the Securities
of any series to the contrary notwithstanding, the indebtedness evidenced by the Securities shall be subordinate and junior in
right of payment, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, to all Senior Indebtedness:


 


(1)   In the event of any
insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings, and any receivership, liquidation, reorganization, arrangement or other similar proceedings
in connection therewith, relative to the Company or to its property, and in the event of any proceedings for voluntary liquidation,
dissolution or other winding-up of the Company, whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy, then the holders of Senior Indebtedness
shall be entitled to receive payment in full of all principal, premium and interest on or other amounts in respect of, all Senior
Indebtedness before the Holders of the Securities are entitled to receive any payment on account of principal, premium, if any,
interest or Additional Amounts upon the Securities, and to that end (but subject to the power of a court of competent jurisdiction
to make other equitable provisions reflecting the rights conferred in the Securities upon Senior Indebtedness and the Holders thereof
with respect to the subordinated indebtedness represented by the Securities and the Holders hereof by a lawful plan of reorganization
under applicable bankruptcy law) the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled to receive for application in payment thereof
any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash or property or securities, which may be payable or deliverable
in any such proceedings in respect of the Securities after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution in respect of
such Senior Indebtedness, except securities which are subordinate and junior in right of payment to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness
then outstanding;


 


(2)   In the event that any
Security of any series is declared or otherwise becomes due and payable before its expressed maturity because of the occurrence
of an Event of Default hereunder (under circumstances when the provisions of the foregoing clause (1) or the following clause
(3) shall not be applicable), the holders of Senior Indebtedness outstanding at the time such Security so becomes due and
payable because of such occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder shall, so long as such declaration has not been rescinded and
annulled pursuant to Section 5.02, be entitled to receive payment in full of all principal of, and premium and interest on
or other amounts in respect of, all such Senior Indebtedness before the Holders of the Securities of such series are entitled to
receive any payment on account of principal of, premium, if any, or interest and Additional Amounts on the Securities of such series.
However, nothing herein shall prevent the Holders of Securities from seeking any remedy allowed at law or at equity so long as
any judgment or decree obtained thereby makes provision for enforcing this clause; and


 




    	45



    	 



    

  


(3)   In the event that any
default shall occur and be continuing with respect to any Senior Indebtedness permitting the holders of such Senior Indebtedness
to accelerate the maturity thereof, if either


 


(A) notice of such default, in writing or by telegram,
shall have been given to the Company and to the Trustee, provided that judicial proceedings shall be commenced in respect of such
default within 180 days in the case of a default in payment of principal or interest and within 90 days in the case of any other
default after the giving of such notice, and provided further that only one such notice shall be given pursuant to this Section 13.01(3) in
any twelve months period, or


 


(B) judicial proceedings shall be pending in respect
of such default,


 


the Holders of the Securities and the Trustee for their benefit
shall not be entitled to receive any payment on account of principal, premium, if any, or interest and Additional Amounts thereon
(including any such payment which would cause such default) unless payment in full of all principal of, and premium and interest
on or other amounts in respect of, such Senior Indebtedness shall have been made or provided for. The Trustee, forthwith upon receipt
of any notice received by it pursuant to this Section 13.01(3), shall, as soon as practicable, send a notice thereof to each
Holder of Securities at the time outstanding as the names and addresses of such Holders appear on the Security Register. 
In case despite the foregoing provisions, any payment or distribution shall, in any such event, be paid or delivered to any Holder
of the Securities or to the Trustee for their benefit before all Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full, such payment
or distribution shall be held in trust for and so paid and delivered to the holders of Senior Indebtedness (or their duly authorized
representatives) until all Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full.


 


The Company shall give written notice to
the Trustee within five days after the occurrence of any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization, arrangement
or similar proceeding of the Company within the meaning of this Section 13.01. Upon any payment or distribution of assets
of the Company referred to in this Article Thirteen, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 315(a) through
315(b) of the Trust Indenture Act, and the Holders of the Securities shall be entitled to rely upon a certificate of the trustee
in bankruptcy, receiver, assignee for the benefit of creditors or other liquidating agent making such payment or distribution,
delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities, for the purpose of ascertaining the persons entitled to participate in
such distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable
thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article Thirteen.


 


The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively
rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a person representing himself to be a holder of Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee
or agent on behalf of such holder) to establish that such notice has been given by a holder of Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee
or agent on behalf of any such holder). In the event that the Trustee determines, in good faith, that further evidence is required
with respect to the right of any person as a holder of Senior Indebtedness to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant
to this Section 13.01, the Trustee may request such person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee
as to the amount of Senior Indebtedness held by such person, as to the extent to which such person is entitled to participate in
such payment or distribution, and as to other facts pertinent to the rights of such person under this Section 13.01, and if
such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment to such person pending judicial determination as to the right
of such person to receive such payment.


 


Section
13.02           Subrogation.


 


Subject to the payment in full of all Senior
Indebtedness to which the indebtedness evidenced by the Securities is in the circumstances subordinated as provided in Section 13.01,
the Holders of the Securities shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness to receive payments
or distributions of cash, property or securities of the Company applicable to such Senior Indebtedness until all amounts owing
on the Securities shall be paid in full. As between the Company, its creditors other than holders of such Senior Indebtedness,
and the Holders of the Securities, no such payment or distribution made to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness by virtue of
this Article Thirteen which otherwise would have been made to the Holders of the Securities shall be deemed to be a payment
by the Company on account of such Senior Indebtedness, it being understood that the provisions of this Article Thirteen are
and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities on the one hand, and the
holders of the Senior Indebtedness, on the other hand.

13.03           Obligation of Company Unconditional.


 


Nothing contained in this Article Thirteen
or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities,


 


(1) is intended to or shall impair
as between its creditors other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness and the Holders of the Securities, the obligation of the
Company which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Holders of the Securities the principal of (and premium, if any), interest
on, or any Additional Amounts with respect to, the Securities as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with
their terms,


 


(2) is intended to or shall affect
the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities and creditors of the Company other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness,
or


 


(3) prevents the Trustee or the Holder
of any Security from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Indenture, subject to
the rights, if any, under this Article Thirteen of the holders of Senior Indebtedness in respect of cash, property or securities
of the Company received upon the exercise of any such remedy.


 


Upon any payment or distribution of assets
of the Company referred to in this Article Thirteen, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities shall be entitled to rely
upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction in which any such dissolution, winding up, liquidation or
reorganization proceeding affecting the affairs of the Company is pending or upon a certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver,
assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidating trustee or agent or other person making any payment or distribution, delivered
to the Trustee or to the Holders of the Securities, for the purpose of ascertaining the persons entitled to participate in such
payment or distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness of the Company the amount thereof or payable
