 (t) any addition to or change in the covenants set forth in Articles Four or Five that
applies to Securities of the Series;

any registrars, paying agents, service agents, depositories, interest rate calculation agents, exchange rate calculation agents or other agents with respect to Securities of such Series if other than those appointed herein; 

(cc) whether and under what circumstances the Issuer will pay Additional Amounts to any Holder who is not a United States person
(including any modification to the definition of such term) in respect of any tax, assessment or governmental charge and, if so, whether the Issuer will have the option to redeem such Securities rather than pay such Additional Amounts (and the terms
of any such option); and 

  
 11 









 (dd) any other terms of the Series. 

All Securities of any one Series need not be issued at the same time and may be issued from time to time, consistent with the terms of
this Indenture, if so provided by or pursuant to the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture or Officers’ Certificate referred to above. The authorized principal amount of any Series may not be increased to provide for issuances of additional
Securities of such Series, unless otherwise provided in such Board Resolution, supplemental indenture or Officers’ Certificate. 
 If any of the terms of the Securities of any Series are established by action taken pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions, a copy of an appropriate record of such action(s) shall be certified by the
Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Issuer and delivered to the Trustee at or before the delivery of the Officers’ Certificate setting forth the terms of the Securities of such Series. 

SECTION 2.03. Execution and Authentication.
 The Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto shall be executed on behalf of the issuer by an Officer (other than the secretary or an assistant secretary) and attested by its secretary or one of its
assistant secretaries. The signatures of any of these individuals on the Securities and coupons may be manual or facsimile signatures. 
 If an Officer whose signature is on a Security or coupon was an Officer at the time of such execution but no longer holds that office at the time the Security or coupon is authenticated, the Security or
coupon shall nevertheless be valid. 
 A Security shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee
or an authenticating agent. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been authenticated under this Indenture. 
 The Trustee shall at any time, and from time to time, authenticate Securities for original issue in the principal amount provided in a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an
Officers’ Certificate, upon receipt by the Trustee of an Issuer Order. Such Issuer Order may authorize authentication and delivery pursuant to oral or electronic instructions from the Issuer or its duly authorized agent or agents, which oral
instructions shall be promptly confirmed in writing. Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication unless otherwise provided by a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officers’ Certificate. 

In connection with its original issuance, no Bearer Security shall be mailed or otherwise delivered to any location in the United States.
If any Security shall be represented by a permanent Global Bearer Security, then, for purposes of this Section and Section 2.11, the notation of a beneficial owner’s interest therein upon original issuance of such Security or upon exchange
of a portion of a temporary Global Security shall be deemed to be delivery in connection with its original issuance of such beneficial owner’s interest in such permanent Global Security. Except as permitted by Section 2.08, the Trustee
shall not authenticate and deliver any Bearer Security unless all appurtenant coupons for interest then matured have been detached and cancelled. 

  
 12 









 The aggregate principal amount of Securities of any Series outstanding at any time may not
exceed any limit upon the maximum principal amount for such Series set forth in the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture or Officers’ Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.02, except as provided in Section 2.08. 

Prior to the issuance of Securities of any Series, the Trustee shall have received and (subject to Section 7.02) shall be fully
protected in relying on: (i) the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture or Officers’ Certificate establishing the form of the Securities of that Series or of Securities within that Series and the terms of the Securities of that Series or
of Securities within that Series, (ii) an Officers’ Certificate complying with Section 10.05, and (iii) an Opinion of Counsel complying with Section 10.05. 

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent reasonably acceptable to the Issuer to authenticate Securities. Unless otherwise provided
in the appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such authenticating agent. An authenticating agent
has the same rights as an Agent to deal with the Issuer and Affiliates of the Issuer. The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Securities of such Series 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. 
 SECTION 2.04. Registrar and Paying Agent.
 The Issuer shall maintain, with
respect to each Series of Securities, at the place or places specified with respect to such Series pursuant to Section 2.02, an office or agency where (a) Securities of such Series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange (“Registrar”), (b) Securities of such Series may be presented or surrendered for payment (“Paying Agent”) and (c) notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Securities of such
Series and this Indenture may be served (“Service Agent”). The Issuer may act as Registrar or Paying Agent. The Registrar shall keep a register (the “Register”) with respect to each Series of Securities and to their
transfer and exchange. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar; the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent; and the term “Service Agent” includes any additional service agent. The
Issuer hereby appoints the Trustee as the initial Registrar, Paying Agent and Service Agent for each Series unless another Registrar, Paying Agent or Service Agent, as the case may be, is appointed prior to the time Securities of that Series are
first issued. The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the name and address, and any change in the name or address, of each Registrar, Paying Agent or Service Agent. If at any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such
required Registrar, Paying Agent or Service Agent or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the name and address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the
Issuer hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands. 
 The
Issuer may also from time to time designate one or more co-registrars, additional paying agents or additional service agents and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any
manner relieve the Issuer 

  
 13 









 
of its obligations to maintain a Registrar, Paying Agent and Service Agent in each place so specified pursuant to Section 2.02 for Securities of any Series for such purposes. The Issuer will
give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the name or address of any such co-registrar, additional paying agent or additional service agent. 

If Securities of a Series are issuable as Bearer Securities, the Issuer also will subject to any laws or regulations applicable thereto,
maintain a Paying Agent and Service Agent located outside the United States. Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Securities pursuant to Section 2.02, no payment of principal, premium or interest on or Additional Amounts in respect of
Bearer Securities shall be made at any office or agency of the Issuer in the United States or by check mailed to any address in the United States or by transfer to an account maintained with a bank located in the United States; provided, however,
that, if the Securities of a Series are payable in Dollars, payment of principal of and any premium and interest on any Bearer Security (including any Additional Amounts payable on Securities of such Series pursuant to Section 4.07) shall be
made at the office of the Paying Agent in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, if (but only if) payment in Dollars of the full amount of such principal, premium, interest or Additional Amounts, as the case may be, at all offices or
agencies outside the United States maintained for the purpose by the Issuer in accordance with this Indenture, is illegal or effectively precluded by exchange controls or other similar restrictions. 

The Issuer shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Agent not a party to this Indenture, which agreement shall implement
the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such Agent. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee, in advance, of the name and address, and any change in the name of address, of any such Agent. If the Issuer fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying
Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. 
 SECTION 2.05. Paying Agent to Hold Assets in Trust.

The Issuer shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee or the Issuer or any Subsidiary to agree in writing that each Paying
Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all assets held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, or interest on, the Securities (whether such assets have been distributed to it by the Issuer or any other
obligor on the Securities), and shall notify the Trustee of any Default by the Issuer (or any other obligor on the Securities) in making any such payment. The Issuer at any time may require a Paying Agent to distribute all assets held by it to the
Trustee and account for any assets disbursed, and the Trustee may at any time during the continuance of any payment Default, upon written request to a Paying Agent, require such Paying Agent to distribute all assets held by it to the Trustee and to
account for any assets distributed. Upon distribution to the Trustee of all assets that shall have been delivered by the Issuer to the Paying Agent, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for such assets. If the Issuer or a Subsidiary of
the Issuer acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders of any Series of Securities all money held by it as Paying Agent. 

  
 14 









 SECTION 2.06. Holder Lists.

The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and
addresses of the Holders of each Series of Securities and shall otherwise comply with Trust Indenture Act § 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee at least ten (10) days before each interest
payment date with respect to any Series of Securities and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing a list, in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Holders of such
Series of Securities, which list may be conclusively relied upon by the Trustee. 
 SECTION 2.07. Transfer and
Exchange.
 Subject to Section 2.14, where Securities of a Series are presented to the Registrar with a request to
register a transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Securities of the same Series, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its requirements for such transaction are met; provided,
however, that the Securities surrendered for transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his or her
attorney duly authorized in writing. To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Securities at the Registrar’s request. No service charge shall be made for any registration of
transfer or exchange (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein), but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer tax
or similar governmental charge payable upon exchanges pursuant to Sections 2.11, 3.06 or 9.05). 
 If (but only if) permitted by
the applicable Board Resolution set forth in the applicable Officers’ Certificate, or in any indenture supplemental hereto, delivered as contemplated by Section 2.02, at the option of the Holder, Bearer Securities of any Series may be
exchanged for Registered Securities of the same Series of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor, upon surrender of the Bearer Securities to be exchanged at any such office or agency, with all unmatured
coupons and all matured coupons in default thereto appertaining. 
 Without the prior written consent of the Issuer, the
Registrar shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange Securities of any Series (i) during the period beginning at the opening of business fifteen (15) days before the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities of
that Series selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (ii) selected, called or being called for redemption in whole or in part pursuant to Article Three, except the unredeemed portion of such
Securities, if any. 
 SECTION 2.08. Replacement Securities.

If a mutilated Security or any Security with a mutilated coupon appertaining to it is surrendered to the Trustee or if the Holder of a
Security claims that the Security or any coupon has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee shall 

  
 15 









 
authenticate and deliver a replacement Security of the same Series if the requirements of Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code are met and the Holder satisfies any other reasonable
requirements of the Trustee. If required by the Trustee or the Issuer, such Holder shall furnish an indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of the Issuer and the Trustee to protect the Issuer, the Trustee or any Agent from any loss which any of
them may suffer if a Security or coupon is replaced. The Issuer and the Trustee may each charge such Holder for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in replacing a Security pursuant to this Section 2.08, including reasonable fees and expenses
of counsel and of the Trustee. 
 Every replacement Security of any Series with its coupons, if any, issued pursuant to this
Section in lieu of any lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Security or coupon 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 and its coupons, if any, duly issued hereunder. 

In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or wrongfully taken Security or coupon has become or is about to become due and payable, the
Issuer in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security or coupon, pay such Security or coupon; provided, however, that payment of principal of (and premium, if any), any interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to Bearer
Securities shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 2.04, be payable only at an office or agency located outside the United States and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.02, any interest on Bearer Securities
shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of the coupons appertaining thereto. 
 The provisions of this
Section 2.08 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Securities. 

SECTION 2.09. Outstanding Securities.
 Subject to Section 2.10, the Securities outstanding at any time are all the Securities authenticated by the Trustee except those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those
reductions in the interest on a Global Security effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof and those described in this Section as not outstanding. Subject to Section 2.10, a Security does not cease to be outstanding
because the Issuer or any of its Affiliates holds the Security. 
 If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08
(other than a mutilated Security surrendered for replacement), it ceases to be outstanding unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Security is held by a bona fide purchaser. 

If the Paying Agent (other than the Issuer, a Subsidiary of the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer) holds on the Maturity Date of
Securities of a Series money sufficient to pay such Securities payable on that date, then on and after that date such Securities of the Series cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue. 

  
 16 









 In determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of outstanding
Securities have given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, the principal amount of a Discount Security that shall be deemed to be outstanding for such purposes shall be the amount of the principal
thereof that would be due and payable as of the date of such determination upon a declaration of acceleration of the Maturity Date thereof pursuant to Section 6.02. 
 If the principal amount of any Security is considered paid under Section 4.01, it ceases to be outstanding and interest ceases to accrue. If on any redemption date or the Maturity Date the Trustee or
Paying Agent (other than the Issuer or an Affiliate thereof) holds cash in Dollars or U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, in amounts sufficient to pay all of the principal and interest due on the Securities payable on that date,
then on and after that date such Securities cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue. 
 SECTION 2.10.
Treasury Securities.
 In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Securities of a Series have
concurred in any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver Securities of a Series owned by the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer shall be disregarded, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee
shall be protected in relying on any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver only Securities of a Series that the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. 

SECTION 2.11. Temporary Securities.
 Until definitive Securities of a Series are ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Issuer Order, authenticate temporary Securities, substantially of the tenor
of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued, in registered form, or, if authorized, in bearer form with one or more coupons or without coupons, and with such variations that the Issuer considers appropriate for temporary
Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Securities of the same Series and Maturity Date in exchange for temporary Securities; provided, however, that no definitive Bearer
Security shall be delivered in exchange for a temporary Registered Security; and provided further that a definitive Bearer Security shall be delivered in exchange for a temporary Bearer Security only in compliance with the conditions set forth in
Section 2.03. Until such exchange, temporary Securities shall be entitled to the same rights, benefits and privileges as definitive Securities of the same Series. 
 SECTION 2.12. Cancellation.
 The Issuer at any time may deliver Securities
to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee, or at the direction of the Trustee, the Registrar or the Paying Agent
(other than the Issuer or a Subsidiary), and no one else, shall cancel and, at the written direction of the Issuer, shall dispose of all Securities surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation in accordance with its customary
procedures. Certification of the destruction of all cancelled Securities shall be delivered to the Issuer upon request by the Issuer. 

  
 17 









 
Subject to Section 2.08, the Issuer may not issue new Securities to replace Securities that it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. If the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries
shall acquire any of the Securities, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the Indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and until the same are surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation pursuant to this
Section 2.12. 
 SECTION 2.13. Defaulted Interest.

If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Securities of any Series, it shall pay the defaulted interest, plus (to the extent
lawful) any interest payable on the defaulted interest, in any lawful manner. The Issuer may pay the defaulted interest to the Persons who are the Holders of the Securities of such Series on a subsequent special record date, which date shall be the
fifteenth (15th) day next preceding the date fixed by the Issuer for the payment of defaulted interest or the next succeeding Business Day if such date is not a Business Day. At least fifteen (15) days before any such subsequent special
record date, the Issuer (or, upon the written request of the Issuer, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer) shall mail to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, a notice that states the subsequent special record date, the
payment date and the amount of defaulted interest, and interest payable on such defaulted interest, if any, to be paid. 

SECTION 2.14. Global Securities.
 (a) Terms of Securities. A Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officers’ Certificate shall establish whether the Securities of a Series shall be issued in whole or in part
in the form of one or more Global Securities and the Depository for such Global Security or Securities. 
 (b) Transfer and
Exchange. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained in Section 2.07 of this Indenture and in addition thereto, any Global Security shall be exchangeable pursuant to Section 2.07 of this Indenture for Securities
registered in the names of Holders other than the Depository for such Security or its nominee only if (i) such Depository notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for such Global Security or if at any time
such Depository ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and, in either case, the Issuer fails to appoint a successor Depository registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act within ninety (90) days of such
event, (ii) the Issuer executes and delivers to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that such Global Security shall be so exchangeable or (iii) an Event of Default with respect to the Securities represented by such
Global Security shall have happened and be continuing. Any Global Security that is exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be exchangeable for Securities registered in such names as the Depository shall direct in writing in an
aggregate amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security with like tenor and terms. Except as provided in this Section 2.14(b), a Global Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depository with respect to such
Global Security to a nominee of such Depository, by a nominee of such Depository to such Depository or another nominee of such Depository or by the Depository or any such nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of such a successor Depository.

 (c) Legend. Any Global Security issued hereunder shall bear a legend in substantially
the following form: 
 “This Security is a Global Security within the meaning of the Indenture hereinafter referred to and
is registered in the name of the Depository or a nominee of the Depository. This Security is exchangeable for Securities registered in the name of a Person other than the Depository or its nominee only in the limited circumstances described in the
Indenture, and may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository, by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or another nominee of the Depository or by the Depository or any such nominee to a successor
Depository or a nominee of such a successor Depository.” 
 (d) Acts of Holders. The Depository, as a Holder, may
appoint agents and otherwise authorize participants to give or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action which a Holder is entitled to give or take under this Indenture. 

(e) Payments. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Indenture, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 2.02, payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on any Global Security shall be made to the Holder thereof. 
 (f) Consents, Declaration and Directions. Except as provided in Section 2.09 (last sentence), the Issuer, the Trustee and any Agent shall treat a Person as the Holder of such principal amount
of outstanding Securities of such Series represented by a Global Security as shall be specified in a written statement of the Depository with respect to such Global Security, for purposes of obtaining any consents, declarations, waivers or
directions required to be given by the Holders pursuant to this Indenture. 
 SECTION 2.15. CUSIP and ISIN
Numbers.
 The Issuer in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” or “ISIN” numbers, and if so, the
Trustee shall use the “CUSIP” or “ISIN” numbers in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness or
accuracy of the “CUSIP” or “ISIN” numbers printed in the notice or on the Securities, and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities. The Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee
of any change in the “CUSIP” or “ISIN” numbers.

REDEMPTION 

SECTION 3.01. Notices to Trustee.
 The Issuer may, with respect to any Series of Securities, reserve the right to redeem and pay the Series of Securities or may covenant to redeem and pay the Series of Securities or any part thereof prior
to the Stated Maturity thereof at such time and on such terms as provided for in such Securities. If a Series of Securities is redeemable and the Issuer wants or is obligated to redeem prior to the Stated Maturity thereof all or part of the Series
of Securities pursuant to the terms of such Securities, it shall notify the Trustee of the redemption date and the principal 

  
 19 









 
amount of Series of Securities to be redeemed. The Issuer shall give the notice of redemption to the Trustee at least forty-five (45) days before the redemption date (unless a shorter notice
shall be agreed to by the Trustee in writing), together with such documentation and records as shall enable the Trustee to select the Securities to be redeemed. 
 SECTION 3.02. Selection of Securities to be Redeemed.
 Unless otherwise
indicated for a particular Series by a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officers’ Certificate, if less than all the Securities of a Series are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Securities of the Series to be
redeemed as follows: 
 (1) if such Securities are listed on a national securities exchange, in compliance with the requirements
of the principal national securities exchange on which such Securities are listed; or 
 (2) if such Securities are not so
listed, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate. 
 In the event of
partial redemption, the Trustee shall make the selection from Securities of the Series outstanding not previously called for redemption. The Trustee may select for redemption portions of the principal of Securities of the Series that have
denominations larger than $1,000. Securities of the Series and portions of them it selects shall be in amounts of $1,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 or, with respect to Securities of any Series issuable in other denominations pursuant to
SubSection 2.02(i), the minimum principal denomination for each Series and integral multiples thereof. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Securities of a Series called for redemption also apply to portions of Securities of that Series
called for redemption. 
 SECTION 3.03. Notice of Redemption.

Unless otherwise indicated for a particular Series by a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officers’
Certificate, at least thirty (30) days but not more than sixty (60) days before a redemption date, the Issuer shall mail, or cause to be mailed, a notice of redemption by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to each Holder whose Securities
are to be redeemed and if any Bearer Securities are outstanding, publish on one occasion a notice in an Authorized Newspaper (except that a redemption referred to in Article Eight may be more than sixty (60) days before the applicable
redemption date). At the Issuer’s request, the Trustee shall forward the notice of redemption in the Issuer’s name and at the Issuer’s expense. Each notice for redemption shall identify the Securities of the Series to be redeemed
(including the CUSIP or ISIN number, if any) and shall state: 
 (1) the date fixed for the redemption of such Securities;

 (2) the price fixed for the redemption of such securities, including accrued interest to the redemption date and Additional
Amounts, if any; 

  
 20 









 (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 Security or Securities to be redeemed; 
 (4) in case any Security is to be redeemed in part only, that on and after the redemption date, upon surrender of such Security, the holder will receive, without a charge, a new Security or Securities of
authorized denominations for the principal amount thereof remaining unredeemed; 
 (5) that on the redemption date the
redemption price and accrued interest to the redemption date, if any, will become due and payable upon each such Security, or the portion thereof, to be redeemed and, if applicable, that interest thereon shall cease to accrue on and after said date;

 (6) the place or places of payment where such Securities, together in the case of Bearer Securities with all coupons
appertaining thereto, if any, maturing after the redemption date, are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price and accrued interest, if any, or for conversion; 
 (7) that, unless otherwise specified in such notice, Bearer Securities of any Series, if any, surrendered for redemption must be accompanied by all coupons maturing after the date fixed for redemption or
the amount of any such missing coupon or coupons will be deducted from the redemption price, unless security or indemnity satisfactory to the Issuer, the Trustee for such Series and any Paying Agent is furnished; 

(8) If Bearer Securities of any Series are to be redeemed and any Registered Securities of such Series are not to be redeemed, and if
such Bearer Securities may be exchanged for Registered Securities not subject to redemption on the redemption date or otherwise, the last date, as determined by the Issuer, on which such exchanges may be made; 

(9) the CUSIP number of such Security, if any; 
 (10) if applicable, that a Holder of Securities who desires to convert Securities for redemption must satisfy the requirements of conversion contained in such Securities, the then existing conversion
price or rate and the date and time when the option to convert shall expire; 
 (11) the name and address of the Paying Agent;

 (12) that Securities of the Series called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption
price therefor; 
 (13) that interest on Securities of the Series called for redemption shall cease to accrue on and after the
redemption date thereof, and the only remaining right of the Holders of such Securities shall be to receive payment of the redemption price therefor upon surrender to the Trustee or Paying Agent of the Securities to be redeemed; and 

  
 21 









 (14) any other information as may be required by the terms of the particular Series or the
Securities of a Series being redeemed and such other matters as the Issuer shall deem desirable or appropriate. 
 At the
Issuer’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Issuer’s name and at its expense. 
 Any
notice that is mailed to the Holders of Registered Securities in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives the notice. 

SECTION 3.04. Effect of Notice of Redemption.
 Once notice of redemption is mailed or published as provided in accordance with Section 3.03, Securities of a Series called for redemption shall become due and payable on the redemption date and at
the redemption price therefor. A notice of redemption may not be conditional. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Securities shall be paid at the redemption price plus accrued interest to the redemption date; provided that installments of
interest 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 at the close of business on the relevant record date therefor according to
their terms and the terms of this Indenture. 
 SECTION 3.05. Deposit of Redemption Price.

On or before 10:00 a.m. New York time on the redemption date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Paying Agent funds sufficient to pay the
redemption price of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all Securities to be redeemed on that date. 
 SECTION 3.06.
Securities Redeemed in Part.
 Upon surrender of a Security that is to be redeemed in part, the notice of redemption that
relates to such Security shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Security or Securities of the same Series and the same Maturity Date equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the original Security
shall be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon surrender and cancellation of the original Security surrendered. 

ARTICLE FOUR 

COVENANTS 

SECTION 4.01. Payment of Principal and Interest.
 The Issuer shall pay or cause to be paid the principal of (and premium, or any) and interest on and Additional Amounts payable on the Securities of each Series in accordance with the terms of such
Securities, any coupons appertaining thereto, and this Indenture. Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.02 with respect to any Series of Securities, any interest due on and any Additional Amounts payable in respect of Bearer
Securities on or before Maturity, other than Additional Amounts, if any, payable as provided in Section 4.07 in respect of principal of (or premium, if any, on) such a Security, shall be payable only upon presentation


  
 22 









 
and surrender of the several coupons for such interest installments as are evidenced thereby as they severally mature. An installment of principal of (and premium, if any), or interest on and
Additional Amounts payable on, Securities shall be considered paid on the date it is due if the Trustee or the Paying Agent (other than the Issuer or an Affiliate thereof) holds on that date funds designated for and sufficient to pay the
installment. The Paying Agent shall return to the Issuer promptly, and in any event, no later than five (5) Business Days following the date of payment, any money (including accrued interest) that exceeds such amount of principal and interest
paid on the Securities. If a payment date is not a Business Day, at a place of payment, payment may be made at that place on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, and no interest shall accrue on such payment for the intervening period.

 SECTION 4.02. Maintenance of Office or Agency.

The Issuer covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Holders of each Series of Securities that it will maintain an office or agency
where such Securities may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of such Securities and this Indenture may be served. Unless otherwise indicated for a particular
series by a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officer’s Certificate, the issuer shall maintain such offices or agencies in connection with each Series of Securities in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, New
York (which may be an office or drop facility of the Trustee, the Registrar or the Service Agent, as applicable, for such Securities or an Affiliate of such Trustee, the Registrar or the Service Agent, as applicable, for such Securities). The Issuer
will give prompt written notice to the Trustee for such Securities of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to
furnish such Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of such Trustee. 
 The Issuer may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where Holders of a Series of Securities may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time
to time rescind such designations. The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Trustee for such Series of Securities of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. 

With respect to each Series of Securities, the Issuer hereby designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee for such Securities as
one such office or agency of the Issuer in accordance with Section 2.05 hereof. 
 SECTION 4.03. Corporate
Existence.
 Except as otherwise permitted by Article Five and the other provisions of this Indenture, the Issuer shall do
or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence and its material rights (charter and statutory) and material franchises; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be required to
preserve any such right or franchise if the Board of Directors of the Issuer shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or if the failure
so to preserve would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Issuer and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. 

  
 23 









 SECTION 4.04. Compliance Certificate.

The Issuer and each guarantor of any Series of Securities (to the extent that such guarantor is so required under the Trust Indenture
Act) shall deliver to the Trustee with respect to such Series, within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each fiscal year of the Issuer, an Officers’ Certificate stating that, in the course of the performance by the signers of
their duties as Officers of the Issuer, they would normally have knowledge of any Default and whether or not the signers know of any Default that occurred during such fiscal year. If they do know of such a Default, the certificate shall describe the
Default, its status and what action, if any, the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. The Issuer also shall comply with Trust Indenture Act § 314(a)(4). 

SECTION 4.05. Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws.
 The Issuer and each guarantor, if any, of any Series of Securities covenants (to the extent permitted by applicable law) that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim
or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury law or other law that would prohibit or forgive such Issuer or such guarantor from paying all or any portion of the principal of (and premium, if any) and/or interest on and
Additional Amounts payable on such Securities or the guarantee, if any, of any such guarantor as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture,
and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) each 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. 
 SECTION 4.06. SEC
Reports.
 (a) Whether or not required by the SEC’s rules and regulations, so long as any Securities of any Series are
outstanding, the Issuer will furnish to the Holders of such Securities, cause the Trustee with respect to such Securities to furnish to the Holders of such Securities, or file electronically with the SEC through the SEC’s Electronic Data
Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System (or any successor system), within the time periods (including any extensions thereof) specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations: 

(1) all quarterly and annual financial information that would be required to be contained in a filing with the SEC on
Forms 10-Q and 10-K (or any successor forms) if the Issuer were required to file these Forms, including a “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and, with respect to the annual
information only, a report on the annual financial statements by the Issuer’s independent accountants; and 

(2) all current reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC on Form 8-K (or any successor form) if the Issuer
were required to file these reports. 

  
 24 









 (b) In addition, whether or not required by the SEC’s rules and regulations, the Issuer
will file a copy of all of the information and reports referred to in clauses (a)(1) and (a)(2) above with the SEC for public availability within the time periods applicable to the Issuer under Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (unless
the SEC will not accept the filing, in which case the Issuer shall make the information available to securities analysts and prospective investors upon request). The Issuer also shall comply with the other provisions of Trust Indenture Act §
314(a). 
 (c) The Company shall be deemed to have furnished such reports to the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes if it has
filed such reports with the Commission using the EDGAR filing system and such reports are publicly available. 
 (d) Delivery of
such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained
therein, including the Company’s and the Guarantor’s compliance with any of their covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely on Officers’ Certificates). The Trustee shall have no responsibility to review such
reports, information or documents. 
 SECTION 4.07. Additional Amounts. If any Securities of a Series provide for the
payment of Additional Amounts, the Issuer will pay to the Holder of any Security of such Series or any coupon appertaining thereto Additional Amounts as may be specified as contemplated by Section 2.02. 

The obligations of the Issuer under this Section shall survive any termination, defeasance or discharge of the Indenture or applicable
Security. 
 SECTION 4.08. Calculation of Original Issue Discount. The Issuer shall provide to the Trustee on a timely
basis such information as the Trustee requires to enable the Trustee to prepare and file any form required to be submitted by the Issuer with the Internal Revenue Service and the Holders of Securities of any Series relating to original issue
discount, including, without limitation, Form 1099-OID or any successor form.

SUCCESSOR CORPORATION 
 SECTION 5.01. Merger, Consolidation, or Sale of Assets.
 (a) The Issuer
will not, directly or indirectly, in a single transaction or a series of related transactions, (1) consolidate or merge with or into any other Person (other than a merger with an Affiliate of the Issuer solely for the purpose of changing the
Issuer’s jurisdiction of incorporation to another State of the United States or forming a direct holding company of the Issuer), or sell, lease, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of or assign all or substantially all of the assets of the
Issuer or the Issuer and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) to any other Person or (2) effect a Plan of Liquidation, unless, in either case: 
 (1) either: 
 (i) the Issuer will be the surviving or continuing
corporation; or 

  
 25 









 (ii) the Person formed by or surviving such consolidation or merger (if not
the Issuer) or to which such sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition shall be made (or, in the case of a Plan of Liquidation, any Person to which assets are transferred) (collectively, the “Successor”) is a corporation organized and
existing under the laws of any State of the United States of America or the District of Columbia, and the Successor expressly assumes, by a supplemental indenture hereto in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, all of the Obligations of
the Issuer under the Securities and this Indenture; and 
 (2) immediately after giving effect to such transaction and the
assumption of the obligations as set forth in clause (a)(1) above, if applicable, and the incurrence of any Indebtedness to be incurred in connection therewith, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing. 

(b) For purposes of the foregoing, the sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition or assignment of all or substantially all
of the assets of one or more of the Issuer’s Subsidiaries, the Equity Interests of which constitute all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer, will be deemed to be the transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer.

 (c) Upon any consolidation, combination or merger of the Issuer, or any sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other
disposition or assignment of all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer in accordance with the foregoing, in which the Issuer is not the continuing obligor under the Securities and this Indenture, the surviving entity formed by such
consolidation or into which the Issuer is merged or the entity to which the sale, lease, transfer, conveyance, or other disposition or assignment is made will succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Issuer
under the Securities and this Indenture with the same effect as if such surviving entity had been named therein as the Issuer, and, except in the case of such a lease, the Issuer will be released from its Obligations under the Securities and this
Indenture. 
 (d) This Section 5.01 shall not apply to (i) any sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition
or assignment of assets between or among (A) the Issuer and any of its Subsidiaries or (B) two or more Subsidiaries of the Issuer, or (ii) any merger or consolidation between the Issuer and any of its Subsidiaries or between any two

 DEFAULT AND REMEDIES 
 SECTION 6.01. Events of Default.

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

(1) failure by the Issuer to pay interest on or any Additional Amounts payable in respect of any of Security of that Series or any coupon
appertaining thereto when such interest, Additional Amounts or coupon become due and payable and the continuance of any such failure for thirty (30) consecutive days; 

  
 26

that Series when it becomes due and payable, whether at Stated Maturity, upon redemption, upon purchase, upon acceleration or otherwise; 
 (3) failure to deposit any sinking fund payment, when and as due in respect of any Security of that Series; 
 (4) failure by the Issuer to comply with any other agreement or covenant in this Indenture and the continuance of any such failure for sixty (60) consecutive days after notice of such failure has
been given to the Issuer by the Trustee or by the Holders of at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities of that Series then outstanding; 

(5) the Issuer pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law: 

(i) commences a voluntary case, 
 (ii) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case, 
 (iii) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its assets, 
 (iv) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or 
 (6) a court
of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that: 
 (i) is for relief against
the Issuer as debtor in an involuntary case, 
 (ii) appoints a Custodian of the Issuer or for all or
substantially all of its assets, or 
 (iii) orders the liquidation of the Issuer, and the order or decree
remains unstayed and in effect for ninety (90) days; or 
 (7) any other Event of Default provided with respect to
Securities of that Series, which is specified in a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officers’ Certificate. 
 SECTION 6.02. Acceleration.
 If an Event of Default specified in
Section 6.01(5) or Section 6.01(6) with respect to the Issuer occurs, all outstanding Securities shall become immediately due and payable without any further action or notice. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default
specified in Section 6.01(5) or Section 6.01(6) with respect to the Issuer) shall have occurred and be continuing under this Indenture and the Securities of any Series, the Trustee, by notice to the


  
 27 









 
Issuer, or the Holders of at least twenty-five percent (25%) in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such Series then outstanding by notice to the Issuer and the Trustee, may
declare all amounts owing under such Securities of such Series to be due and payable immediately. Upon such acceleration or declaration of acceleration, the aggregate principal (or, if any Securities of that Series are Discount Securities, such
portion of the principal as may be specified in the terms of such Securities) of and accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding Securities of such Series shall immediately become due and payable; provided, however, that after such acceleration
or declaration of acceleration, but before a judgment or decree based on acceleration or declaration of acceleration, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of such outstanding Securities of such Series may rescind and annul such
acceleration or declaration of acceleration: 
 (1) if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree;

 (2) if all existing Defaults have been cured or waived (except nonpayment of principal and interest that has become due
solely because of this acceleration); 
 (3) to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue
installments of interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to all outstanding Securities of that Series and any related coupons has been paid, and all and overdue principal (and premium, if any), which has become due (otherwise than by such
declaration of acceleration), has been paid; 
 (4) if the Issuer has paid to the Trustee its reasonable compensation and
reimbursed the Trustee of its expenses, disbursements and advances; and 
 (5) in the event of a cure or waiver of a Default of
the type set forth in Section 6.01(5) or Section 6.01(6), the Trustee shall have received an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel that such Default has been cured or waived. 

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto. 

SECTION 6.03. Other Remedies.
 If a Default with respect to Securities of any Series at the time outstanding occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment
of principal of, or interest on, such Securities or to enforce the performance of any provision of such Securities or this Indenture. 
 The Trustee for such Securities may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of such Securities or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any
Holder of Securities in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon a Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All remedies are cumulative to
the extent permitted by law. 

  
 28 









 SECTION 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults.

Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of any Series (which may include consents
obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer of such Securities), by notice to the Trustee for such Securities, may, on behalf of all of the Holders of such Securities, waive an existing Default with respect to such Securities and
its consequences, except a Default in the payment of principal or interest on such Securities; provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of any Series may, on behalf of all of
the Holders of such Securities, rescind an acceleration of such Securities and its consequences, including any related payment Default that resulted from such acceleration. When a Default is waived, it is cured and ceases. 

SECTION 6.05. Control by Majority.
 (a) The Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any Series may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available
to the Trustee of such Series or exercising any trust or power conferred on it with respect to such Series. Subject to Section 7.01, however, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with any law or this Indenture, that the
Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of another Holder, or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability; provided, however, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent
with such direction. 
 (b) In the event the Trustee takes any action or follows any direction pursuant to this Indenture, the
Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification against any loss or expense caused by taking such action or following such direction. 
 SECTION 6.06. Limitation on Suits.
 (a) Subject to Section 6.07, no
Holder of any Securities of any Series will have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to this Indenture or such Securities for any remedy thereunder, unless the Trustee for such Securities: 

(1) has failed to act for a period of sixty (60) consecutive days after receiving notice of a continuing Event of Default from such
Holder and a request to act by Holders of at least twenty-five percent (25%) in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such Series; 
 (2) has been offered indemnity satisfactory to it in its reasonable judgment; and 

(3) has not received from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such Series a
direction inconsistent with such request. 
 (b) A Holder of any Securities of any Series may not use this Indenture to
prejudice the rights of another Holder of such Securities of such Series or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of Securities of such Series. 

  
 29 









 SECTION 6.07. Rights of Holders to Receive Payment.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of any Securities of any Series to receive payment of
principal of (and premium, if any), and interest on, and any Additional Amounts in respect of, such Securities, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Securities (including, if applicable, in connection with an offer to purchase or
redeem), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder. 
 SECTION 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee.
 If a Default specified in
Section 6.01(1), 6.01(2) or 6.01(3) with respect to Securities of any Series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee for such Securities may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuer or any other
obligor on such Securities for the whole amount of principal (and premium, if any) and accrued interest and any Additional Amounts, and fees remaining unpaid, together with interest on overdue principal (and premium, if any) and, to the extent that
payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest and any Additional Amounts, in each case at the rate per annum borne by such Securities and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses
of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of such Trustee, its agents and counsel. 
 SECTION 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.
 The Trustee for each
Series of Securities may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of such Trustee (including any claim for the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of such
Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders of the Securities for which it acts as trustee allowed in any judicial proceedings relating to the Issuer (or any other obligor upon such Securities), its creditors or its property and shall be
entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder of such Securities to make such
payments to such Trustee and, in the event that such Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to such Holders, to pay to such Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of
such Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due such Trustee under this Indenture. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize such Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder for which it
acts as trustee any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of such Holder, or to authorize such Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any such Holder in any such proceeding. The
Trustee shall be entitled to participate as a member of any official committee of creditors in the matters as it deems necessary or advisable. 
 SECTION 6.10. Priorities.
 If the Trustee for any Series of Securities
collects any money or property pursuant to this Article Six, it shall pay out the money or property in the following order: 

First: to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts due under this Indenture, including payment of all reasonable compensation,
expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection; 

  
 30 









 Second: to Holders of such Securities and coupons for interest accrued and any Additional
Amounts payable on such Securities, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Securities for interest and Additional Amounts; and 

Third: to Holders of such Securities for principal amounts (and premium, if any) due and unpaid on such Securities, ratably, without
preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Securities for principal; and 
 Fourth: to
the Issuer or, if applicable, any guarantors with respect to such Securities, as their interests may appear, or to such other Person or Persons as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct. 

The Trustee, upon prior notice to the Issuer, may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders of Securities pursuant to
this Section 6.10. 
 SECTION 6.11. Undertaking for Costs.

In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against any Trustee for any action taken or
omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable
attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by
a Holder of a Security pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of any Series. 

ARTICLE SEVEN 

TRUSTEE 
 SECTION
7.01. Duties of Trustee.
 (a) If a Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights

truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates (including Officers’ Certificates) or opinions (including Opinions of Counsel) furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this
Indenture. However, 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 examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they
conform to the requirements of this Indenture. 
 (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Trustee may not be

provided, every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to this Section 7.01.

and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel. 

(f) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order

incurred therein or thereby. 
 (g) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in
any resolution, certificate (including any Officers’ Certificate), statement, instrument, opinion (including any Opinion of Counsel), 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, upon reasonable notice to the

 33 









 SECTION 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee.

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Issuer
or an Affiliate of the Issuer with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee must comply with Sections 7.10 and 7.11. 

SECTION 7.04. Trustee’s Disclaimer.
 The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Securities, it shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the
proceeds from the Securities, and it shall not be responsible for any statement in the Securities other than its authentication. 
 SECTION 7.05. Notice of Default.
 If a Default occurs and is continuing
with respect to the Securities of any Series and the Trustee receives written notice of such Default, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder of the Securities of that Series and, if any Bearer Securities are outstanding, publish on one occasion in an
Authorized Newspaper, notice of a Default within thirty (30) days after it occurs or, if later, 30 days after a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has knowledge of such Default. Except in the case of a Default in payment of principal of or
interest on any Security of any Series, the Trustee may withhold the 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 determines
that withholding the notice is in the interests of Holders of that Series. 
 SECTION 7.06. Reports by Trustee to
Holders.
 Within sixty (60) days after each January 1, beginning with January 1, 20    ,
the Trustee shall, to the extent that any of the events described in Trust Indenture Act § 313(a) occurred within the previous twelve months, but not otherwise, mail to each Holder a brief report dated as of such date that complies with Trust
Indenture Act § 313(a). The Trustee also shall comply with Trust Indenture Act §§ 313(b), 313(c) and 313(d). 
 A
copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Holders of any Series shall be filed with the SEC and each stock exchange on which the Securities of that Series are listed. 
 The Issuer shall notify the Trustee if the Securities of any Series become listed on any securities exchange or of any delisting thereof. 

SECTION 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity.
 The Issuer shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation as the Issuer and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing for its services hereunder. The Trustee’s compensation
shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. 

  
 34 









 
The Issuer shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable disbursements, expenses and advances (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred or made by it in addition
to the compensation for its services, except any such disbursements, expenses and advances as may be attributable to the Trustee’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. Such expenses shall include the reasonable fees and expenses of the
Trustee’s agents and counsel. 
 The Issuer shall indemnify each of the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee and its agents
for, and hold them harmless against, any and all loss, damage, claims (including taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee)), liability or expense incurred by them arising out of or in connection with
the acceptance or administration of this trust (including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending themselves against or investigating any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of the Trustee’s rights,
powers or duties hereunder), except in each of the foregoing cases to the extent caused by any negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on their part. The Trustee shall notify the Issuer promptly of any claim asserted against the Trustee or any
of its agents for which it may seek indemnity. The Issuer may, subject to the approval of the Trustee (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee and its agents
subject to the claim may have separate counsel and the Issuer shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel; provided, however, that the Issuer will not be required to pay such fees and expenses if, subject to the approval of the
Trustee (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), it assumes the Trustee’s defense and there is no conflict of interest between the Issuer and the Trustee and its agents subject to the claim in connection with such defense as
reasonably determined by the Trustee. The Issuer need not pay for any settlement made without its written consent. The Issuer need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss or liability to the extent incurred by the Trustee through its
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. 
 When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after a Default specified
in Section 6.01(5) or Section 6.0 1(6) occurs, such expenses and the compensation for such services shall be paid to the extent allowed under any Bankruptcy Law. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.07 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or the appointment of a successor
Trustee. 
 SECTION 7.08. Replacement of Trustee.

The Trustee may resign with respect to the Securities of one or more Series by so notifying the Issuer at least thirty (30) days
prior to the date of the proposed resignation. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of any Series may remove the Trustee with respect to that Series by so notifying the Issuer and the Trustee and may appoint a successor
Trustee. The Issuer may remove the Trustee with respect to Securities of one or more Series if: 
 (1) the Trustee fails to
comply with Section 7.10; 
 (2) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent; 

  
 35 









 (3) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or

 (4) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting. 
 If the Trustee retires, whether by resignation or removal, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Issuer shall notify each Holder of such event and shall promptly appoint a
successor Trustee. Within one (1) year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the
Issuer. 
 A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuer.
Immediately after that, after payment of all sums then owing to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.07, the retiring Trustee shall transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, the resignation or removal of the retiring
Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee with respect to each Series of Securities for which it is acting as Trustee under this Indenture. A successor Trustee shall mail
notice of its succession to each Holder of each such Series and, if any Bearer Securities are outstanding, publish such notice on one occasion in an Authorized Newspaper. 
 If a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any one or more Series does not take office within sixty (60) days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the
Issuer or the Holders of at least ten percent (10%) in principal amount of the Securities of the applicable Series may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee at the expense of the Issuer.

 If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 Notwithstanding the appointment of a successor Trustee
pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Issuer’s obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 
 SECTION 7.09. Successor Trustee by Merger, Etc.
 If the Trustee
consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall, if such resulting, surviving
or transferee corporation is otherwise eligible hereunder, be the successor Trustee; provided, however, that such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article Seven. 

SECTION 7.10. Eligibility; Disqualification.
 The Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of Trust Indenture Act §§ 310(a)(1), 310(a)(2) and 310(a)(5). The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least
$50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. The Trustee shall comply with Trust Indenture Act § 310(b); provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of Trust Indenture Act §
310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures under which other securities, or certificates of interest or participation in other securities, of the 

  
 36 









 
Issuer are outstanding, if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in Trust Indenture Act § 310(b)(1) are met. The provisions of Trust Indenture Act § 310 shall apply to the
Issuer and any other obligor of the Securities. 
 SECTION 7.11. Preferential Collection of Claims Against the
Issuer.
 The Trustee, in its capacity as Trustee hereunder, shall comply with Trust Indenture Act § 311(a),
excluding any creditor relationship listed in Trust Indenture Act § 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to Trust Indenture Act § 311(a) to the extent indicated. 

ARTICLE EIGHT 

DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE; DEFEASANCE 
 SECTION 8.01. Termination of the Issuer’s Obligations.
 Except as
otherwise provided in the last paragraph of this Section 8.01, this Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to a Series of Securities issued hereunder, when either: 

(a) all such Securities and coupons that have been authenticated (except lost, stolen or destroyed Securities or coupons that have been
replaced or paid and Securities and coupons for whose payment money has been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Issuer and thereafter repaid to the Issuer or discharged from this trust), have been delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation, or 
 (b) (1) all such Securities and coupons that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have
become due and payable by reason of the mailing of a notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable within one year and the Issuer has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely
for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities cash in Dollars or U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, in amounts sufficient (without reinvestment) to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness (including all principal (and
premium, if any) and accrued interest and Additional Amounts) on such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation to the date of maturity or redemption; 

(2) the Issuer or any guarantor of such Securities and coupons has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable by the Issuer under
this Indenture; and 
 (3) the Issuer has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee for such Securities under this
Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of such Securities at maturity or on the date of redemption, as the case may be. 
 In addition, the Issuer must deliver an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee for such Securities stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have
been complied with. 

  
 37 









 In the case of clause (b) of this Section 8.01, and subject to the next sentence
and notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, the Issuer’s obligations in Sections 2.06, 2.07, 2.08, 2.09, 4.01, 4.02, 4.03 (as to legal existence of the Issuer only), 7.07, 8.05 and 8.06 shall survive until such Securities are no longer
outstanding pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 2.09. In addition, nothing in this Section 8.01 shall be deemed to discharge the obligations in Section 7.07, 8.04(a), 8.05 or 8.06, all of which shall survive the satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture. 
 After such delivery or irrevocable deposit, the Trustee upon request by the Issuer shall
acknowledge in writing the discharge of the Issuer’s obligations under such Securities and coupons and this Indenture except for the surviving obligations specified above. 

SECTION 8.02. Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance.
 (a) The Issuer may at any time, at the option of its Board of Directors evidenced by a resolution set forth in an Officers’ Certificate, elect to have either Section 8.02(b) or 8.02(c) applied
to all outstanding Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto of any Series upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article Eight. 
 (b) Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.02(a) of the option applicable to this Section 8.02(b), the Issuer and each guarantor, if any, of such Securities and any coupons appertaining
thereto will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.03, be deemed to have been discharged from its or their obligations with respect to all outstanding Securities of such Series and any coupons appertaining
thereto (including the related guarantees, if any) on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Issuer and such guarantors, if any,
will be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Securities of such Series and any coupons appertaining thereto (including the related guarantees, if any), which will thereafter be deemed to be
“outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.04 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (1) and (2) below, and to have satisfied all its or their other obligations under such Securities and any
coupons appertaining thereto, such guarantees, if any, and this Indenture (and the Trustee for such Securities, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following
provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: 
 (1) the rights of Holders of outstanding
Securities of such Series and any coupons appertaining thereto to receive, solely from the trust fund described in Section 8.04, and as more fully set forth in Section 8.04, payments in respect of the principal of (and premium, if any) or
interest, if any, on, such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto when such payments are due; 
 (2) the Issuer’s
obligations with respect to such Securities under Article Two and Section 4.02 hereof; and with respect to the payment of Additional Amounts, if any, on such Securities; 

  
 38 









 (3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee for such Securities
hereunder and the Issuer’s and the guarantors’, if any, obligations in connection therewith; and 
 (4) the provisions
of this Article Eight applicable to Legal Defeasance (including Sections 8.04, 8.05 and 8.06). 
 Subject to compliance with
this Article Eight, the Issuer may exercise its option under this Section 8.02(b) notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.02(c) hereof. 
 (c) Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.02(a) hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02(c), the Issuer and each of the guarantors, if any, will, subject to the
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.03 hereof, be released from each of their or its obligations under the covenants specified in a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officers’ Certificate, in
accordance with Section 2.02(v), with respect to the outstanding Securities of the applicable Series and any coupons appertaining thereto on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.03 hereof are satisfied (hereinafter,
“Covenant Defeasance”), and such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto shall thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders of such
Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such
Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Securities of such Series and any coupons appertaining
thereto, the Issuer may omit to comply with and shall have no obligation or liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any
such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default under Section 6.01, but, except as specified above, the remainder
of this Indenture and such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto will be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.02(a) of the option applicable to this Section 8.02(c), subject to the
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.03, clause (4) of Section 6.01 shall not constitute an Event of Default. 
 SECTION 8.03. Conditions to Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.
 In
order to exercise either Legal Defeasance under Section 8.02(b) or Covenant Defeasance under Section 8.02(c) with respect to Securities of any Series: 
 (1) the Issuer must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee for such Securities, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto, money or U.S. Government
Obligations or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient (without reinvestment), in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants selected by the Issuer, to pay the principal of (and premium, if
any) and interest, if any, on, and any mandatory sinking fund payments in respect of, the outstanding Securities of such Series and any coupons appertaining thereto on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as the
case may be, and the Issuer must specify whether such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto are being defeased to such stated date for payment or to a particular redemption date; 

  
 39 









 (2) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee for such
Securities an Opinion of Counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that: 

(i) the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service, a ruling, or 

(ii) since the date of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law, 

in either case to the effect that, and based thereon, the Holders of the outstanding Securities of such Series and any coupons appertaining thereto will
not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if
such Legal Defeasance had not occurred; 
 (3) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Issuer shall have delivered to the
Trustee for such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto an Opinion of Counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Holders of such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto will not recognize
income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such
Covenant Defeasance had not occurred; 
 (4) such deposit shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default
under this Indenture (other than a Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit); 
 (5) the
Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument to which the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Issuer or any of its
Subsidiaries is bound (other than any such default resulting solely from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and the grant of any Lien on such deposit in favor of the Trustee and/or the Holders); 

(6) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee for such Securities an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit was not
made by the Issuer with the intent of preferring the Holders of such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto over any other creditors of the Issuer or with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any other of its
creditors; and 
 (7) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee for such Securities an Officers’ Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel, stating, in the case of the Officers’ Certificate, clauses (1) through (6) of this Section 8.03, as applicable, have been complied with and stating, in the case of the Opinion of Counsel, that the conditions
provided for in clause (2) or (3), as applicable, and clause (5) of this Section 8.03 have been complied with. 

  
 40 









 SECTION 8.04. Application of Trust Money.

(a) The Trustee or Paying Agent shall hold in trust all money and U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited
with it pursuant to this Article Eight in respect of the outstanding Securities of any Series and any coupons appertaining thereto, and shall apply the deposited money and U.S. Government Obligations (including any proceeds thereof) in accordance
with this Indenture to the payment of the principal of and the interest on such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto. The Trustee shall be under no obligation to invest said money and U.S. Government Obligations (including any proceeds
thereof), except as it may agree with the Issuer. 
 (b) The Issuer will pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or
other charge imposed on or assessed against the money or U.S. Government Obligations (including any proceeds thereof) deposited pursuant to Section 8.03, or the principal and interest received in respect thereof, other than any such tax, fee or
other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Securities of the applicable Series and any coupons appertaining thereto. 
 (c) Anything in this Article Eight to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall promptly deliver or pay to the Issuer from time to time upon the request of the Issuer any money or U.S. Government
Obligations held by it as provided in Section 8.03 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount
thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 
 SECTION
8.05. Repayment to the Issuer.
 Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuer, in
trust for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Series of Securities and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuer on
its request or (if then held by the Issuer) will be discharged from such trust; and the Holders of such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto will thereafter be permitted to look only to the Issuer for payment thereof, and all liability of
the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Issuer as trustee thereof, will thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment,
may at the expense of the Issuer cause to be published once, in the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which will not be less than thirty

 SECTION 8.06. Reinstatement.

apply any money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Article Eight or by reason of any order or judgment of any 

  
 41 









 
court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Issuer’s and any applicable guarantors’ Obligations under this Indenture and
the applicable Securities and the guarantees shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article Eight until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with this
Article Eight; provided, however, that if the Issuer has made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any such Securities following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the
Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 
 ARTICLE NINE 
 AMENDMENTS, SUPPLEMENTS AND WAIVERS 

SECTION 9.01. Without Consent of Holders.
 Subject to Section 9.02 of this Indenture, the Issuer and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Securities of one or more Series without the consent of any Holder: 

(1) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency; 
 (2) to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated Securities;

assets, in accordance with Article Five; 
 (4) to add guarantees with respect to the Securities of any Series; 

(5) to release any guarantor from its guarantee or any of its other obligations under this Indenture (to the extent permitted by this
Indenture);

does not adversely affect the legal rights hereunder of any Holder; 
 (7) to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to
effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act; 
 (8) to provide for the issuance of and
establish the form and terms and conditions of Securities of any Series as permitted by this Indenture; or 
 (9) to evidence

the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee. 

  
 42 









 Upon the request of the Issuer accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors
authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02(b), the Trustee will join with the Issuer in the execution of any amended or supplemental
indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee will not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental
indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. 
 SECTION 9.02. With Consent
of Holders.
 (a) The Issuer and the Trustee may enter into a supplemental indenture hereto with the written consent of the
Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities of each Series affected by such supplemental indenture (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Securities of
such Series), for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of any supplemental indenture hereto or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of each such
Series. Subject to Section 6.07, the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities of each Series by notice to the Trustee (including waivers obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange
offer for the Securities of such Series) may waive compliance by the Issuer with any provision of this Indenture or the Securities with respect to such Series without notice to any other Holders. 

(b) Notwithstanding Section 9.02(a), without the consent of each Holder affected, no amendment or waiver may (with respect to any
Securities held by a non-consenting Holder): 
 (1) reduce the principal (or premium, if any) or change the Stated Maturity of
any Security or reduce the amount of, or postpone the date fixed for, the payment of any sinking fund or analogous obligation; 

(2) reduce the rate of or amount or interest on any Security or any Additional Amounts in respect thereof, or extend the time for payment
of any of the foregoing; 
 (3) reduce the principal amount of Discount Securities payable upon acceleration of the maturity
thereof; 
 (4) waive a redemption payment with respect to any Security or change any of the provisions with respect to the
redemption of any Securities, except as specifically set forth in the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture or Officers’ Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.02; 

(5) make the principal of or interest, if any, on any Security payable in money or currency other than that stated in the Security;

 (6) if the Securities of such Holder are entitled to the benefit of any guarantee, release any guarantor of such Securities
other than as provided in this Indenture or modify the guarantee in any manner adverse to such Holder; 

  
 43 









 (7) waive a Default in the payment of principal of or interest on any Security (except a
rescission of acceleration of the Securities of any Series by the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such Series and a waiver of the payment Default that resulted from such acceleration); 

(8) change the amount of Securities whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver; or 

(9) make any change in Section 6.07, this Section 9.02(b), Section 10.14 or Section 10.15. 

(c) It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders of Securities under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of
any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 
 (d)
A consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver under this Indenture by any Holder given in connection with an exchange (in the case of an exchange offer) or a tender (in the case of a tender offer) of such Holder’s Securities will not be
rendered invalid by such tender or exchange. 
 (e) After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02
becomes effective, the Issuer shall mail, or cause to be mailed, to the Holders of Securities affected thereby and, if any Bearer Securities affected thereby are outstanding, publish on one occasion in an Authorized Newspaper, a notice briefly
describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Issuer to mail or publish such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amendment, supplement or waiver. 

SECTION 9.03. Compliance with the Trust Indenture Act.
 Every amendment to this Indenture or the Securities of one or more Series shall be set forth in a supplemental indenture hereto that complies with the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect. 

SECTION 9.04. Revocation and Effect of Consents.
 Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Security is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a
Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Security. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to his Security or portion of a
Security before the date on which the Trustee receives an Officers’ Certificate certifying that the Holders of the requisite Securities have consented (and not theretofore revoked such consent) to the amendment, supplement or waiver.

 The Issuer may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to
consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver, which record date shall be at least thirty (30) days prior to the first solicitation of such consent. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the last sentence of the immediately preceding


  
 44 









 
paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not
such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than ninety (90) days after such record date. The Issuer shall inform the Trustee in writing of the fixed record date if
applicable. 
 After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder, unless it makes a change
described in any of clauses (1) through (9) of Section 9.02(b), in which case, the amendment, supplement or waiver shall bind only each Holder of Securities who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Securities or
portion of Securities that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Securities; provided, however, that no such amendment, supplement or waiver shall impair or affect the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of (or
premium, if any), and interest on and any Additional Amounts in respect thereto, with respect to a Security and any coupons appertaining thereto, on or after the respective due dates therefor, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment
on or after such respective dates without the consent of such Holder. 
 SECTION 9.05. Notation on or Exchange of
Securities.
 If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Security, the Issuer may require the Holder of
the Security to deliver it to the Trustee. The Issuer shall provide the Trustee with an appropriate notation on the Security about the changed terms and cause the Trustee to return it to the Holder at the Issuer’s expense. Alternatively, if the
Issuer or the Trustee so determines, the Issuer in exchange for the Security shall issue, and the Trustee shall authenticate, a new Security that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Security shall not
affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver. 
 SECTION 9.06. Trustee To Sign Amendments,
Etc.
 The Trustee shall execute any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article Nine; provided,
however, that the Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, execute any such amendment, supplement or waiver which affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture. The Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and
shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers’ Certificate each stating that the execution of any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article Nine is authorized or permitted by this
Indenture and constitutes legal, valid and binding obligations of the Issuer enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions. Such Opinion of Counsel shall be at the expense of the Issuer. 

SECTION 9.07. Trustee Protected.
 In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be
entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. The Trustee shall sign
all supplemental indentures hereto, except that the Trustee need not sign any supplemental indenture that adversely affects its rights.

the full extent permitted by law. 
 SECTION 10.14. Securities in a Foreign Currency or in ECU.

Unless otherwise specified in a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officers’ Certificate delivered pursuant to
Section 2.02 of this Indenture with respect to a particular Series of Securities, whenever for purposes of this Indenture any action may be taken by the Holders of a specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of Securities of all Series
or all Series affected by a particular action at the time outstanding and, at such time, there are outstanding Securities of any Series which are denominated in a coin or currency other than Dollars (including ECUs), then the principal amount of
Securities of such Series which shall be deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of taking such action shall be that amount of Dollars that could be obtained for such amount at the Market Exchange Rate at such time. For purposes of this
Section 10.14, “Market Exchange Rate” shall mean the noon Dollar buying rate in New York City, New York for cable transfers of that currency as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York; provided, however, in the case
of ECUs, “Market Exchange Rate” shall mean the rate of exchange determined by the Commission of the European Union (or any successor thereto) as published in the Official Journal of the European Union (such publication or any
successor publication, the “Journal”). If such Market Exchange Rate is not available for 

  
 49 









 
any reason with respect to such currency, the Trustee shall use, in its sole discretion and without liability on its part, such quotation of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or, in the case
of ECUs, the rate of exchange as published in the Journal, as of the most recent available date, or quotations or, in the case of ECUs, rates of exchange from one or more major banks in The City of New York, New York or in the country of issue of
the currency in question or, in the case of ECUs, in Luxembourg or such other quotations or, in the case of ECUs, rates of exchange as the Trustee, upon consultation with the Issuer, shall deem appropriate. The provisions of this paragraph shall
apply in determining the equivalent principal amount in respect of Securities of a Series denominated in currency other than Dollars in connection with any action taken by Holders of Securities pursuant to the terms of this Indenture. 

All decisions and determinations of the Trustee regarding the Market Exchange Rate or any alternative determination provided for in the
preceding paragraph shall be in its sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, to the extent permitted by law, be conclusive for all purposes and irrevocably binding upon the Issuer and all Holders. 

SECTION 10.15. Judgment Currency.
 The Issuer agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so under applicable law, that (a) if for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert the sum due in
respect of the principal of or interest or other amount on the Securities of any Series (the “Required Currency”) into a currency in which a judgment will be rendered (the “Judgment Currency”), the rate of exchange
used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Trustee could purchase in The City of New York, New York the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on the day on which final unappealable judgment is entered,
unless such day is not a New York Banking Day, then the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Trustee could purchase in The City of New York, New York the Required Currency with the
Judgment Currency on the New York Banking Day preceding the day on which final unappealable judgment is entered and (b) its obligations under this Indenture to make payments in the Required Currency (i) shall not be discharged or satisfied
by any tender, any recovery pursuant to any judgment (whether or not entered in accordance with the preceding clause (a) of this Section 10.15), in any currency other than the Required Currency, except to the extent that such tender or
recovery shall result in the actual receipt, by the payee, of the full amount of the Required Currency expressed to be payable in respect of such payments, (ii) shall be enforceable as an alternative or additional cause of action for the
purpose of recovering in the Required Currency the amount, if any, by which such actual receipt shall fall short of the full amount of the Required Currency so expressed to be payable, and (iii) shall not be affected by judgment being obtained
for any other sum due under this Indenture. For purposes of the foregoing, “New York Banking Day” means any day except a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday in The City of New York, New York on which banking institutions are
authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close.

 ARTICLE ELEVEN 
 SINKING FUNDS 
 SECTION 11.01. Applicability of Article.

The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of the 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 the Securities of any Series is herein referred to as a “mandatory sinking fund payment” and any other 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 11.02. Each sinking
fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities of any Series as provided for by the terms of the Securities of such Series. 
 SECTION 11.02. Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities.
 The
Issuer may, in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities of any Series to be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities (1) deliver outstanding Securities of such Series to which such sinking
fund payment is applicable (other than any of such Securities previously called for mandatory sinking fund redemption) together, in the case of any Bearer Securities of such Series, with all unmatured coupons appertaining thereto and (2) apply
as credit Securities of such Series to which such sinking fund payment is applicable and which have been repurchased by the Issuer or redeemed either at the election of the Issuer pursuant to the terms of such Series of Securities (except pursuant
to any mandatory sinking fund) or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments or other optional redemptions pursuant to the terms of such Securities, provided that such Securities have not been previously so credited. Such
Securities shall be received by the Trustee, together with an Officers’ Certificate with respect thereto, not later than fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which the Trustee begins the process of selecting Securities for redemption,
and shall be credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the 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. If as a result of the
delivery or credit of Securities in lieu of cash payments pursuant to this Section 11.02, the principal amount of Securities of such Series to be redeemed in order to exhaust the aforesaid cash payment shall be less than $100,000, the Trustee
need not call Securities of such Series for redemption, except upon receipt of an Issuer Order that such action be taken, and such cash payment shall be held by the Trustee or a Paying Agent and applied to the next succeeding sinking fund payment,
provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall from time to time upon receipt of an Issuer Order pay over and deliver to the Issuer any cash payment so being held by the Trustee or such Paying Agent upon delivery by the Issuer to the
Trustee of Securities of that Series purchased by the Issuer having an unpaid principal amount equal to the cash payment required to be released to the Issuer. 
 SECTION 11.03. Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund.
 Not less than
forty-five (45) days (unless otherwise indicated in the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture or Officers’ Certificate in respect of a particular Series of Securities) prior to each sinking fund payment date for any Series of
Securities, the Issuer will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing mandatory sinking 

  
 51 









 
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 11.02, and the optional amount, if any, to be added in cash to the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, and the Issuer shall thereupon be obligated
to pay the amount therein specified. 
 Not less than thirty (30) days (unless otherwise indicated in the Board Resolution,
supplemental indenture or Officers’ Certificate in respect of a particular Series of Securities) 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 3.02 and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Issuer in the manner provided in Section 3.03. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities
shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 3.04, 3.05 and 3.06.
