reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles and subject to such other exceptions as counsel shall request and as to which the Trustee shall not
reasonably object; and 
 (vi) any supplemental indenture establishing the forms or terms of such Debt Securities has been

request and as to which the Trustee shall not reasonably object. 
 If all of the Debt Securities of a series are not to be originally
issued at the same time, then the Opinion of Counsel, Officer’s Certificate or other documents required to be delivered pursuant to this Section 3.03(b) need be delivered only once, prior to the authentication and delivery of the first Debt
Security of such series; provided that any subsequent request by the Company to the Trustee to authenticate Debt Securities of such series upon original issuance shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Company that, as of the
date of such request, the statements made in the Officer’s Certificate delivered pursuant to this Section 3.04(b) shall be true and correct as if made on such date.

are to be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Securities, then the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, upon receipt by the Trustee of the Company Order authorizing such authentication, authenticate and deliver one
or more Global Securities that (i) shall represent an aggregate amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series to be represented by one or more Global Securities, (ii) shall be registered,
if in registered form, in the name of the Depositary for such Global Security or Securities or the nominee of such Depositary, (iii) shall be delivered by the Trustee to such Depositary or pursuant to such Depositary’s instruction and
(iv) shall bear one or more legends to be specified pursuant to Section 3.01. 
 (d) Each Depositary designated pursuant to Section
3.01 for a Global Security in registered form must, at the time of its designation and at all times while it serves as such Depositary, be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and any other applicable statute or regulation. 

(e) The Trustee shall not be required to authenticate any Debt Securities if the issuance of such Debt Securities pursuant to this Indenture
will adversely affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Debt Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. 

(f) Each Debt Security shall be dated the date of its authentication, except as otherwise provided pursuant to Section 3.01 with respect to
the Debt Securities of any series. 
 (g) No Debt Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory
for any purpose unless there appears on such Debt Security a certificate of authentication substantially in one of the forms provided for herein duly executed by the Trustee or by an Authenticating Agent by manual signature of one of its authorized
officers, and such certificate upon any Debt Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Debt Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if any Debt Security shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Debt Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 3.09 together
with a written statement (which need not comply with Section 1.02 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) stating that such Debt Security has never been issued or sold by the Company, for all purposes of this Indenture such Debt
Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Debt Indenture. 

Section 3.05. Temporary Debt Securities. Pending the preparation of definitive Debt Securities of any series, the Company may
execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Debt Securities that are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the
definitive Debt Securities in lieu of which 

  
 19 








 
they are issued, in registered form, and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Debt Securities, may determine, as
conclusively evidenced by their execution of such Debt Securities. Any such temporary Debt Security may be in global form, representing all or a portion of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series. 

Every such temporary Debt Security shall be executed by the Company and shall be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee or the
Authenticating Agent, as the case may be, upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with the same effect, as the definitive Debt Security or Securities in lieu of which it is issued. 

If temporary Debt Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause definitive Debt Securities of such series to be prepared without
unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Debt Securities of such series, the temporary Debt Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Debt Securities of such series upon surrender of the temporary Debt Securities
of such series at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for such series, without charge to the Holder, except as provided in Section 3.06 in connection with a transfer, and upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more
temporary Debt Securities of any series, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Debt Securities of the same series of authorized denominations and of like
tenor. Until so exchanged, temporary Debt Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Debt Securities of such series. 

Upon any exchange of a portion of a temporary Global Security for a definitive Global Security or for the individual Debt Securities
represented thereby pursuant to this Section 3.05 or Section 3.06, the temporary Global Security shall be endorsed by the Trustee to reflect the reduction of the principal amount evidenced thereby, whereupon the principal amount of such temporary
Global Security shall be reduced for all purposes by the amount so exchanged and endorsed. 
 Section 3.06. Registration, Transfer
and Exchange. (a) The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a register for each series of Registered Securities (the registers maintained in such office and in any other office or agency of the Company
in a Place of Payment being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Registered
Securities and of transfers and exchanges of Registered Securities and the address at which notice and demand to or upon the Company in respect of this Indenture and the Debt Securities may be served by the Holders of Debt Securities. The Trustee is
hereby appointed “Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering Registered Securities and registering transfers and exchanges of Registered Securities as herein provided; provided that the Company may appoint co-Security
Registrars. Such Security Register shall be in written form or in any other form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable period of time. At all reasonable times the Security Register shall be open for inspection by the
Company or the Trustee. 

  
 20 








 Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Registered Security of any series at the
office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee, one or more new Registered Securities of
the same series of any authorized denomination or denominations of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously Outstanding and containing identical terms and provisions. 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for the individual Debt Securities
represented thereby, a Global Security representing all or a portion of the Debt Securities of a series may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary for such series to a nominee of such Depositary or by a nominee of such Depositary to
such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or by such Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary for such series or a nominee of such successor Depositary. 

At the option of the Holder, Registered Securities of any series (other than a Global Security, except as set forth below) may be exchanged
for other Registered Securities of the same series of any authorized denomination or denominations of like tenor and aggregate principal amount containing identical terms and conditions, upon surrender of the Registered Securities to be exchanged at
the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose. 
 Whenever any Debt Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the
Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Debt Securities that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 

(b) If at any time the Depositary for the Debt Securities of a series notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as
Depositary for the Debt Securities of such series or if at any time the Depositary for the Debt Securities of such series shall no longer be eligible under Section 3.04(d), the Company shall appoint a successor Depositary with respect to the Debt
Securities of such series. If a successor Depositary for the Debt Securities of such series is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the Company will execute, and
the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of individual Debt Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver, individual Debt Securities of such series in an aggregate principal amount equal to the
principal amount of the Global Security or Securities representing Debt Securities of such series in exchange for such Global Security or Securities. 

The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that Debt Securities of any series issued in the form of one or more Global
Securities shall no longer be represented by such Global Security or Securities. In such event the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of individual Debt Securities of such
series, will authenticate and deliver, individual Debt Securities of such series in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security or Securities representing Debt Securities of such series in exchange for such
Global Security or Securities. 

  
 21 








 If there shall have occurred and be continuing any Event of Default with respect to any series of
Debt Securities, upon the request of the Depositary, the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of individual Debt Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver,
individual Debt Securities of such series in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security or Securities representing Debt Securities of such series in exchange for such Global Security or Securities. 

If specified by the Company pursuant to Section 3.01 with respect to a series of Debt Securities, the Depositary for such series of Debt
Securities may surrender a Global Security for such series of Debt Securities in exchange in whole or in part for individual Debt Securities of such series on such terms as are acceptable to the Company and such Depositary. Thereupon, the Company
shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, without service charge, 
 (i) to each Person specified by
such Depositary a new individual Debt Security or Securities of the same series, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Person in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for such Person’s beneficial interest in the
Global Security; and 
 (ii) to such Depositary a new Global Security in a denomination equal to the difference, if any,
between the principal amount of the surrendered Global Security and the aggregate principal amount of individual Debt Securities delivered to Holders thereof. 

In any exchange provided for in any of the preceding four paragraphs, the Company will execute and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver
individual Debt Securities in registered form and in authorized denominations. 
 Upon the exchange of a Global Security for individual Debt
Securities, such Global Security shall be canceled by the Trustee. Individual Registered Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security pursuant to this Section shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the
Depositary for such Global Security, pursuant to instructions from its Participants or Indirect Participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver such Registered Securities to the Persons in whose names such Registered
Securities are so registered. 
 A Global Security may not be exchanged for another Debt Security other than as provided in this
Section 3.06. 
 (c) All Debt Securities issued upon any transfer or exchange of Debt Securities shall be valid obligations of the
Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Debt Securities surrendered for such transfer or exchange. 

  
 22 








 Every Registered Security presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall (if so required
by the Company, the Trustee or the Security Registrar) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee and the Security Registrar, duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his
attorney duly authorized in writing. 
 No service charge will be made for any transfer or exchange of Debt Securities except as provided in
Section 3.06 or Section 3.07. The Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration, transfer or exchange of Debt Securities, other than those
expressly provided in this Indenture to be made at the Company’s own expense or without expense or without charge to the Holders. 

The Company or the Trustee, as applicable, shall not be required (i) to register, transfer or exchange Debt Securities of any series
during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the transmission of a notice of redemption of Debt Securities of such series selected for redemption under Section 13.03 and ending at the close of business on the day of
such transmission, or (ii) to register, transfer or exchange any Debt Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Debt Security being redeemed in part. 

(d) The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in a Global Security or Global Securities of any series of Debt Securities shall be
effected through the applicable Depositary in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the Applicable Procedures. In connection with all transfers and exchanges of beneficial interests, the transferor of such beneficial interest must
deliver to the Security Registrar either (1) (A) a written order from a Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures directing the Depositary to credit or cause to be credited
a beneficial interest in another Global Security in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged and (B) instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the
Participant account to be credited with such increase, or (2) (A) a written order from a Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures directing the Depositary to cause to be
issued an individual Debt Security of the same series in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged and (B) instructions given by the Depositary to the Security Registrar containing information regarding the
Person in whose name such individual Debt Security shall be registered to effect the transfer or exchange referred to in this subclause (2)(A); provided that in no event shall definitive Debt Securities be issued other than upon the
occurrence of any of the events in this Section 3.06. Upon satisfaction of all of the requirements for transfer or exchange of beneficial interests in Global Securities contained in this Indenture, the Trustee shall adjust the principal amount
of the relevant Global Security or Global Securities pursuant to Section 3.06(h) hereof. 
 (e) If any holder of a beneficial interest
in a Global Security or Global Securities of any series of Debt Securities proposes to exchange such beneficial interest for a Definitive Debt Security or to transfer such beneficial interest to a Person who takes


  
 23 








 
delivery thereof in the form of a Definitive Debt Security, then, upon the occurrence of any of the events in this Section 3.06(b) and satisfaction of the conditions set forth in
Section 3.05 hereof, the Trustee shall cause the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Global Security to be reduced accordingly pursuant to Section 306(h) hereof, and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and
mail to the Person designated in the instructions a Definitive Debt Security in the applicable principal amount. Any Definitive Debt Security issued in exchange for a beneficial interest pursuant to this Section 3.06(e) shall be registered in
such name or names and in such authorized denomination or denominations as the holder of such beneficial interest shall instruct the Security Registrar through instructions from or through the Depositary and the Participant or Indirect Participant.
The Trustee shall mail such Definitive Debt Securities to the Persons in whose names such Debt Securities are so registered. 
 (f) A Holder
of a Definitive Debt Security may exchange such Debt Security for a beneficial interest in a Global Security or transfer such Definitive Debt Securities to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Global Security
at any time. Upon receipt of a request for such an exchange or transfer, the Trustee shall cancel the applicable Definitive Debt Security and authenticate or, if already issued, increase or cause to be increased the aggregate principal amount of the
applicable Global Security. If any such exchange or transfer from a Definitive Debt Security to a beneficial interest is effected at a time when the applicable Global Security has not yet been issued, the Company shall issue and, upon receipt of a
Company Order for the authentication of one or more Global Debt Securities in accordance with Section 3.03, the Trustee shall authenticate one or more Global Securities in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of
Definitive Debt Securities so exchanged or transferred. 
 (g) Upon request by a Holder of Definitive Debt Securities and such Holder’s
compliance with the provisions of this Section 3.06(g), the Security Registrar shall register the transfer or exchange of Definitive Debt Securities. Prior to such registration of transfer or exchange, the requesting Holder shall present or
surrender to the Security Registrar the Definitive Debt Securities duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instruction of transfer in form satisfactory to the Security Registrar duly executed by such Holder or by its attorney, duly authorized in
writing. 
 (h) At such time as all beneficial interests in a particular Global Security have been exchanged for Definitive Debt Securities
or a particular Global Security has been redeemed, repurchased or cancelled in whole and not in part, each such Global Security shall be returned to or retained and cancelled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 3.08. At any time prior to
such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Security is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Security or for Definitive Debt Securities, the
principal amount of Debt Securities represented by such Global Security shall be reduced accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Security by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such
reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Security, such other 


  
 24 








 
Global Security shall be increased accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Security by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such
increase. 
 Section 3.07. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Debt Securities. If (a) any mutilated Debt Security
is surrendered to the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office or (b) the Company and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Debt Security, and there is delivered to the Company and the Trustee
such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any Paying Agent harmless, and neither the Company nor the Trustee receives notice that such Debt Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, then the Company
shall execute and upon Company Request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Debt Security, a new Debt Security of the same series of like tenor, form, terms and
principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously Outstanding. 
 In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Debt
Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Debt Security, pay the amount due on such Debt Security in accordance with its terms. 

Upon the issuance of any new Debt Security under this Section 3.07, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
or other governmental charge that may be imposed in respect thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. 

Every new Debt Security of any series, issued pursuant to this Section 3.07 shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of
the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Debt Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Debt Securities of
that series duly issued hereunder. 
 The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other
rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Debt Securities. 

Section 3.08. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved. (a) Interest on any Registered Security that is payable
and is punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Registered Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for
such interest notwithstanding the cancellation of such Registered Security upon any transfer or exchange subsequent to the Regular Record Date. The Trustee is hereby appointed as the initial “Paying Agent” under this Indenture.
Payment of interest on Registered Securities shall be made at the Corporate Trust Office or at the corporate offices of the Trustee in New York City (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01) or, at the option of the Company, by check
mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register 

  
 25 








 
or, if provided pursuant to Section 3.01 and in accordance with arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee, at the option of the Registered Holder, by wire transfer to an account designated by the
Registered Holder. 
 (b) Any interest on any Debt Security of any series that is payable but is not punctually paid or duly provided
for on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall, if such Debt Security is a Registered Security, forthwith cease to be payable to the Registered Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of
having been such a Registered Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (i) or (ii) below: 

(i) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names such Registered Securities
(or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing
of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each such Registered Security and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed
to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled
to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed
payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice
of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Holders of such Registered Securities at their addresses as they appear in the Security Register, not less than
10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names such
Registered Securities (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (ii). 

(ii) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on Registered Securities in any other lawful manner not
inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Registered Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment
pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. 

  
 26 








 (c) Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.08, each Debt Security delivered under
this Indenture upon transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Debt Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, that were carried by such other Debt Security. 

Section 3.09. Cancellation. Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01 for Debt Securities of any series, all Debt
Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly canceled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for
cancellation any Debt Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder that the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Debt Securities so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee. No Debt Securities shall
be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Debt Securities canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Debt Securities held by the Trustee shall be returned to the Company. The
acquisition of any Debt Securities by the Company shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented thereby unless and until such Debt Securities are surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation. 

Section 3.10. Computation of Interest. Except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01 for Debt Securities of any
series, interest on the Debt Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 

Section 3.11. CUSIP Numbers and ISINs. The Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers and/or
“ISINs,” if either is then generally in use, and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers and/or “ISINs” in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no
representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Debt Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Debt
Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. 
 Section 3.12. Persons
Deemed Owners. The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Registered Security is registered as the owner of such Registered Security for the purpose of receiving payment of
principal of, premium, if any, and (subject to Section 3.08) interest, if any, on, such Registered Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Registered Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent
of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. All payments made to any Holder, or upon his order, shall be valid, and, to the extent of the sum or sums paid, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for moneys
payable upon such Debt Security. None of the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Security Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership
interests in a global Debt Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. 

  
 27 








 Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any global Debt Security, nothing herein shall
prevent the Company, the Trustee, or any agent of the Company or the Trustee, from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by any Depositary, as a Holder, with respect to such global Debt Security or
impair, as between such Depositary and owners of beneficial interests in such global Debt Security, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of such depositary (or its nominee) as Holder of such global Debt Security.

 ARTICLE 5 

REMEDIES 

Section 5.01. Events of Default. “Event of Default” wherever used herein with respect to
Debt Securities of any series means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law, pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any
court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body), unless it is inapplicable to a particular series: 

  
 29

respect of the Company in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, receivership, insolvency, reorganization or similar law; 

(b) the commencement by the Company of a voluntary case under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, receivership, insolvency,

 30 








 
of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences
if: 
 (a) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay 

(i) all overdue installments on all Debt Securities of such series, 

(ii) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Debt Securities of such series that have become due and payable otherwise
than by such declaration of acceleration and interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Debt Securities, 

(iii) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue installments of interest on each Debt
Security at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Debt Securities, and 
 (iv) all sums paid or advanced by the
Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel; and 
 (b)
all Defaults with respect to Debt Securities of such series have been remedied, or, if permitted, waived. No such rescission and waiver shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

For all purposes under this Indenture, if a portion of the principal of any Discount Securities shall have been accelerated and declared due
and payable pursuant to the provisions hereof, then, from and after such declaration, unless such declaration has been rescinded and annulled, the principal amount of such Discount Securities shall be deemed, for all purposes hereunder, to be such
portion of the principal thereof as shall be due and payable as a result of such acceleration, and payment of such portion of the principal thereof as shall be due and payable as a result of such acceleration, together with interest, if any, thereon
and all other amounts owing thereunder, shall constitute payment in full of such Discount Securities. 
 Section 5.03.
Defaults; Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. “Default”, wherever used herein, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Default and whether it shall be
voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body) with respect to any series of Debt Securities under this
Indenture: 
 (a) an Event of Default has occurred with respect to such series of Debt Securities as specified in Section 5.01 or as
provided pursuant to Section 3.01 with respect to the Debt Securities of any series; 

  
 31 








 (b) the Company fails to pay the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Debt Security of such
series at the Maturity thereof and such failure is continued for seven days; 
 (c) the Company fails to pay any installment of interest on
any Debt Security of such series when such interest becomes due and payable and such failure is continued for 30 days; 
 (d) the Company
fails to perform any covenants or warranties specified in Article 12 (other than a covenant or warranty default in whose performance or whose breach is specifically dealt with elsewhere in this Indenture, or a covenant or warranty included in this
Indenture solely for the benefit of a series of Debt Securities other than such series), which failure continues for 60 days after written notice to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of not less than 25% in
principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series; or 
 (e) any other Default as provided pursuant to Section 3.01 with
respect to the Debt Securities of any series. 
 The Company covenants that, if a Default shall occur with respect to the Debt Securities of
a particular series, it will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of such Debt Securities of such series, the entire amount then due and payable on such Debt Securities, for the principal of, premium, if
any, and interest, if any, and interest upon the overdue principal, premium, if any, and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, upon overdue installments of interest, at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in
such Debt Securities of such series; and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its
agents and counsel. 
 If the Company fails to pay such amount forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an
express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon such Debt
Securities of such series, and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon such Debt Securities of such series wherever situated. 

If a Default with respect to Debt Securities of any series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may proceed to protect and enforce its rights
and the rights of the Holders of Debt Securities of such series by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or
agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy. 

  
 32 








 Section 5.04. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any
receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceedings, or any voluntary or involuntary case under the Federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted, relative
to the Company or any other obligor upon the Debt Securities, of a particular series or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of such Debt Securities shall then be
due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration of acceleration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled and empowered,
by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, 
 (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal (and premium, if
any) and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Debt Securities of such series and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Holders of such Debt Securities allowed in such judicial proceeding, and 

(b) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any
receiver, assignee, trustee, custodian, liquidator, sequestrator (or other similar official) in any such proceeding is hereby authorized by each such Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the
making of such payments directly to such Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under
Section 6.07. 
 Nothing herein shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any
Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Debt Securities of such series or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such
proceeding. 
 Section 5.05. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Debt Securities. All rights of action and
claims under this Indenture or the Debt Securities of any series may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of such Debt Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such
proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name, as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Debt Securities in respect of which such judgment has been recovered. 

Section 5.06. Application of Money Collected. Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article 5 shall be
applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of 

  
 33 








 
principal (and premium, if any) or interest, upon presentation of the Debt Securities of any series in respect of which money has been collected and the notation thereon of the payment if
only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid: 
 FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due to the Trustee
under Section 6.07; 
 SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of (and premium, if any) and
interest on the Debt Securities of such series, in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Debt Securities for
principal (and premium, if any) and interest, respectively; and 
 THIRD: The balance, if any, to the Person or Persons
entitled thereto. 
 Section 5.07. Limitation on Suits. No Holder of any Debt Security of any series shall have any right
to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless: 

(a) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Default with respect to such series; 

(b) the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series shall have made written request to
the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder; 
 (c) such Holder or Holders have
offered to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee, in its reasonable discretion, against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request; 

(d) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and

 (e) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series; 
 it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders
shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other such Holders or of the Holders of Outstanding Debt Securities of any other series,
or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under this indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all of such Holders. 

For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section 5.07, each and every Holder of Debt Securities of any series and the
Trustee for such series shall be entitled to such relief as can be given at law or in equity. 

  
 34 








 Section 5.08. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and
Interest. The Holder of any Debt Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 3.08) interest on the respective Stated Maturity or
Maturities expressed in such Debt Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment and interest thereon, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such
Holder. 
 Section 5.09. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any
proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case the Company, the
Trustee and the Holders shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as
though no such proceeding had been instituted. 
 Section 5.10. Right and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise
expressly provided elsewhere in this Indenture, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted
by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the
concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 
 Section 5.11. Delay or Omission Not
Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Default or any acquiescence therein. 

Every right and remedy given by this Indenture or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as
may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be. 
 Section 5.12. Control by Holders. The
Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of any series shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any
trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of such series; provided that: 
 (a) such
direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture; 
 (b) subject to the provisions of Section 6.01, the
Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee, determine that the proceeding so directed might result in personal liability or
would be unjustly prejudicial to the Holders of Debt Securities of such series not joining in any such direction; and 

  
 35 








 (c) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent
with such direction. 
 Section 5.13. Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of not less than a majority in principal
amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of any series may on behalf of the Holders of all the Debt Securities of any such series waive any past default hereunder with respect to such series and its consequences, except a default 

(a) in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Debt Security of such series, or 

(b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof that under Article 11 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each
Outstanding Debt Security of such series affected. 
 Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Default arising
therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of the Debt Securities of such series under this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

Section 5.14. Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Debt Security by his
acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or
omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party
litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant, but the provisions of this Section 5.14 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any
Holder or group of Holders holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of any series, or to any suit instituted by any Holder of a Debt Security for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of
(or premium, if any) or interest on such Debt Security on or after the respective Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Debt Security (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date). 

Section 5.15. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not
at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this
Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee,
but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

 ARTICLE 6 

THE TRUSTEE 

Section 6.01. Certain Duties and Responsibilities. (a) With respect to Debt Securities of any series, except during
the continuance of an Event of Default or Default with respect to the Debt Securities of such series, 
 (i) the
Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and 

(ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon an Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel or any other certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any
Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel or any other such certificates or opinions which by any provisions hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine
whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture. 
 (b) In case a Default with respect to Debt Securities of any series
has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall, with respect to the Debt Securities of such series, exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent
person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs. 
 (c) No provision of this Indenture shall be
construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that: 

(i) this subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of subsection (a) of this Section; 

(ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it shall be
proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; 
 (iii) the Trustee shall not be liable with
respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it, with respect to Debt Securities of any series, in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of
such series relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee under this Indenture with respect to the Debt Securities of any such
series; 

  
 37 








 (iv) the Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or
otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity
against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it; and 
 (v) the Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for
any failure or delay in performing any act or fulfilling any of its duties, obligations or responsibilities under this Indenture arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including, without
limitation, acts of God; earthquakes, fire; flood; wars; acts of terrorism; civil or military disturbances; sabotage; epidemic; riots; interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, computer (hardware or software) or communication services
(assuming the appropriate back-up systems are in place); acts of civil or military authority or governmental action; or the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or telex or other wire or communication facility. 

(d) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture and of each supplemental indenture relating to the conduct
or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 6.01. 

Section 6.02. Notice of Defaults. Within 90 days after the occurrence of any default hereunder with respect to Debt
Securities of any series, the Trustee shall by the pertinent methods provided in Section 1.05 give notice to all Holders of Debt Securities of such series of each default hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such default shall have been cured or
waived; provided that except in the case of default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Debt Security of such series, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of
directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of directors and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders of Debt Securities of such series;
provided further that the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a default unless either (a) a Responsible Officer of the Trustee assigned to the Trustee’s Corporate Trust Administration Department shall have actual
knowledge of such default or (b) the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof from the Company or from any Holder. For the purpose of this Section, the term “default” means any event that is, or after
notice or lapse of time or both would become, a Default with respect to Debt Securities of such series. 
 Section 6.03.
Certain Rights of Trustee. Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.01: 

  
 38 








 (a) the Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any
resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, coupon or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper
party or parties; 
 (b) any request or direction of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Company Request or
Company Order and any resolution of the Board of Directors shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution; 
 (c) whenever in the
administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in
the absence of bad faith on its part, rely upon an Officer’s Certificate; 
 (d) the Trustee may consult with counsel and the advice of
such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon; 

(e) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or
direction of any of the Holders of Debt Securities of any series pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee, in its reasonable discretion, against the costs,
expenses and liabilities that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction; 
 (f) the Trustee shall not be bound to
make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, coupon or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in
its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and
premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney; 
 (g) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform
any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder; 

(h) the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the recitals contained herein, in the Debt Securities or in any document
issued in connection with the sale of the Debt Securities (other than the signature and authentication on the Debt Securities); 
 (i) the
Trustee makes no representations or warranties as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture, any supplemental indenture, the Debt Securities (other than the signature and authentication on the Debt Securities) or of any related document, and
the Trustee shall not be accountable for the use, or application by the Company, of any of the Debt Securities or of the proceeds from the sale of such Debt Securities; 

  
 39 








 (j) the Trustee shall accept and deliver all notices, reports and other information that are
required to be provided or delivered to it pursuant to the Indenture, and, where required under the Indenture, shall, in its reasonable judgment, determine whether such notices, reports or other information are satisfactory to it in form;
provided that receipt and delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and, except for any explicit notice of a default from the Company or a Holder as contemplated by Section 6.02, the
Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute actual or constructive knowledge or notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants
hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates); 
 (k) in no event shall the Trustee be
liable for (i) any of its acts or omissions that do not constitute its negligence or willful misconduct, (ii) the acts or omissions of the Company, or (iii) any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including lost
profits), regardless of the form of action and even if the same are foreseeable; and 
 (l) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action
taken or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion, rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture. 

Section 6.04. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Debt Securities. The recitals contained herein and in the Debt
Securities, except the Trustee’s certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or
sufficiency of this Indenture, of the Debt Securities of any series or to any prospectus relating to the series of Debt Securities. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of any Debt Securities or the proceeds
thereof. 
 Section 6.05. May Hold Debt Securities. The Trustee, any Paying Agent, the Security Registrar or
any officer, director, employee or agent of any Paying Agent, Security Registrar or the Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Debt Securities, and, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections
310(b) and 311 of the Trust Indenture Act, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Paying Agent, Security Registrar or such other agent. 

Section 6.06. Money Held in Trust. Money held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent (except the Company) in trust hereunder need not
be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. Neither the Trustee nor any Paying Agent shall be under any liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed in writing with the Company.

 Section 6.07. Compensation and Reimbursement. The Company agrees 

  
 40 








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

(b) to reimburse the Trustee in Dollars upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the
Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its
negligence or bad faith; and 
 (c) to indemnify in Dollars the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense
incurred without negligence or bad faith on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust or performance of its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim
or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder (including the reasonable and documented compensation and expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel). When the Trustee incurs expenses or
renders services in connection with an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(a) or Section 5.01(b), the expenses (including the reasonable charges and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute
expenses of administration under any applicable Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws. As security for the performance of the obligations of the Company under this Section, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Debt
Securities, upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the payment of amounts due on the Debt Securities. 

The obligations of the Company under this Section 6.07 to compensate and indemnify the Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall
constitute additional indebtedness under this Indenture and shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 
 The
term “Trustee” as used in this Section 6.07 and in Section 5.06 shall (unless the context shall otherwise require) be construed as extending to and including each Paying Agent, Authenticating Agent and Security Registrar appointed by the
Company or the Trustee, as the case may be, and acting hereunder within its meaning as fully for all intents and purposes as if such Paying Agent, Authenticating Agent or Security Registrar were named in this Section 6.07 and in Section 5.06 in
addition to the Trustee; provided that the foregoing sentence shall not apply to the Company or any Affiliate of the Company if the Company or such Affiliate acts as Paying Agent or Security Registrar. 

Section 6.08. Disqualification, Conflicting Interests. (a) The Trustee shall comply with Section 310(b) of the
Trust Indenture Act (as if such section applied to this Indenture); provided that there shall be excluded from the operation of Section 310(b)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act any indenture or indentures under which other securities or
certificates of interest or participation in other securities of the Company are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in Section 310(b)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act are met. 

  
 41 








 (b) If Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act is amended at any time after the date of
this Indenture to change the circumstances under which a Trustee shall be deemed to have a conflicting interest with respect to the Debt Securities of any series or to change any of the definitions in connection therewith, this Section 6.08 shall be
automatically amended to incorporate such changes. 
 Section 6.09. Corporate Trustee Required, Eligibility. There shall
at all times be a Trustee hereunder that shall be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust
powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority and having its Corporate Trust Office or an agency in New York, New York; provided that if
Section 310(a) of the Trust Indenture Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission under the Trust Indenture Act at any time permit a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of any other jurisdiction to serve as trustee of
an indenture qualified under the Trust Indenture Act, this Section 6.09 shall be automatically amended to permit a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of any such other jurisdiction to serve as Trustee hereunder. If such
corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation
shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. The Trustee shall comply with Section 310(a)(5) of the Trust Indenture Act. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be
eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article. 

Section 6.10. Resignation and Removal, Appointment of Successor. (a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no
appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee under Section 6.11. 

(b) The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Debt Securities of one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the
Company. If an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of such series. 
 (c) The Trustee may be removed at any time with
respect to the Debt Securities of any series and a successor Trustee appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series, delivered to the Trustee and to the Company. 

  
 42 








 (d) If at any time: 

(i) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 6.08(a) with respect to the Debt Securities of any series after written
request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Debt Security of such series for at least six months, or 

(ii) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 6.09 with respect to the Debt Securities of any series and shall fail
to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Debt Security of such series for at least six months, or 

(iii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or a decree or order for relief by a court having jurisdiction in the
premises shall have been entered in respect of the Trustee in an involuntary case under the Federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted, or any other applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law; or a decree or
order by a court having jurisdiction in the premises shall have been entered for the appointment of a receiver, custodian, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Trustee or of its property or affairs, or any

(iv) the Trustee shall commence a voluntary case under the Federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted, or any
other applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or shall consent to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, custodian, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Trustee or
its property or affairs, or shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or shall take corporate action in furtherance of any such action, 

then, in any such case, (i) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee with respect to all Debt Securities upon giving 30
days written notice, or (ii) subject to Section 5.14, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Debt Security of any series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee for the Debt Securities of such series. 

(e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause,
with respect to the Debt Securities of one or more series, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Debt Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such
successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Debt Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of any particular


  
 43 








 
series) and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 6.11. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor
Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of any series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor
Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no
successor Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders of such series and accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of
a Debt Security of such series for at least six months may, subject to Section 5.14, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the
Debt Securities of such series. 
 (f) The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to the
Debt Securities of any series and each appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of any series in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 1.05 to the Holders of Debt Securities of such series. Each notice shall
include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of such series and the address of its Corporate Trust Office. 

Section 6.11. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. (a) In the case of an appointment hereunder of a successor
Trustee with respect to all Debt Securities, each such successor Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or
removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on request of the
Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee, and shall duly assign,
transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder, subject nevertheless to its claim, if any, provided for in Section 6.07. 

(b) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the
Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which
(i) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of
that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (ii) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Debt Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to
confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be


  
 44 








 
vested in the retiring Trustee, and (iii) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts
hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in any such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder
separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of any such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the
extent provided therein and each such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of that or those
series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such
retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Debt Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates. 

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

(d) No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and
eligible under this Article. 
 Section 6.12. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. Any
corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all
or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided that such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any
paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Debt Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such
authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Debt Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Debt Securities. In case any Debt Securities shall not have been
authenticated by such predecessor Trustee, any such successor Trustee may authenticate and deliver such Debt Securities, in either its own name or that of its predecessor Trustee, with the full force and effect which this Indenture provides for the
certificate of authentication of the Trustee. 
 Section 6.13. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.
If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company (or any other obligor upon the Debt Securities of a series), the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against
the Company (or any such other obligor). 

  
 45 








 Section 6.14. Appointment of Authenticating Agent. As long as any Debt
Securities of a series remain Outstanding, the Trustee may, by an instrument in writing, appoint an authenticating agent (the “Authenticating Agent”), which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to
authenticate Debt Securities of such series issued upon exchange, registration of transfer, partial redemption or pursuant to Section 3.06. Debt Securities of each such series authenticated by such Authenticating Agent shall be entitled to the
benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by such Trustee. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Debt Securities of any series by the Trustee for
such series or to the Trustee’s Certificate of Authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee for such series by an Authenticating Agent for such series and a Certificate of
Authentication executed on behalf of such Trustee by such Authenticating Agent. Such Authenticating Agent shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any State, authorized
under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 (determined as provided in Section 6.09 with respect to the Trustee) and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State
authority. 
 Any corporation into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted, or with which it may be consolidated,
or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency business or corporate trust business of any Authenticating Agent,
shall continue to be the Authenticating Agent with respect to all series of Debt Securities for which it served as Authenticating Agent without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee for such series or
such Authenticating Agent. Any Authenticating Agent may at any time, and if it shall cease to be eligible shall, resign by giving written notice of resignation to the applicable Trustee and to the Company. 

Upon receiving such a notice of resignation, or in case at any time any Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 6.14 with respect to one or more of all series of Debt Securities, the Trustee for such series shall upon Company Request appoint a successor Authenticating Agent, and the Company shall provide notice of such appointment
to all Holders of Debt Securities of such series in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 1.05. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all rights, powers, duties and
responsibilities of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Authenticating Agent. The Company agrees to pay to the Authenticating Agent for such series from time to time reasonable compensation including reimbursement
of its reasonable expenses for its services. The Authenticating Agent for the Debt Securities of any series shall have no responsibility or liability for any action taken by it as such at the direction of the Trustee for such series. 

  
 46 








 Solely with respect to the Debt Securities, the Company hereby covenants with the Trustee that it
will provide the Trustee with sufficient information so as to enable the Trustee to determine whether any payments to be made by it pursuant to the Indenture are withholdable payments as defined in section 1473(1) of the US Internal Revenue Code of
1986 (the Code) or otherwise defined in Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code and any regulations or agreements thereunder or official interpretation thereof) or any intergovernmental agreement between the United States and another jurisdiction
facilitating the implementation thereof (or any law implementing such an intergovernmental agreement). The Trustee shall be entitled to deduct FATCA Withholding Tax to the extent necessary to comply with applicable tax law, and shall have no
obligation to gross-up any payment hereunder or to pay any additional amount as a result of such FATCA Withholding Tax.

(c) Every Holder of Debt Securities, by receiving and holding the same, agrees with the Company and the Trustee that neither the Company nor
the Trustee nor any Paying Agent shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of the Holders in accordance with Section 7.02(b), regardless of the source from which such information was

CONCERNING THE HOLDERS 

Section 8.01. Acts of Holders. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action
provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent or proxy duly appointed in writing, and, except as
herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such instrument or instruments (and the action
embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the Holders of a specified
percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of any series may take any Act, the fact that the Holders of such specified percentage have joined therein may be evidenced (a) by the instrument or instruments
executed by Holders in person or by agent or proxy appointed in writing, or (b) by the record of Holders voting in favor thereof at any meeting of such Holders duly called and held in accordance with the provisions of Article 9, or (c) by
a combination of such instrument or instruments and any such record of such a meeting of Holders. 
 Section 8.02.
Proof of Ownership; Proof of Execution of Instruments by Holders. The ownership of Registered Securities of any series shall be proved by the Security Register for such series or by a certificate of the Security Registrar for such series.
Subject to the provisions of Section 6.01, Section 6.03 and Section 9.05, proof of the execution of a writing appointing an agent or proxy and of the execution of any instrument by a Holder or his agent or proxy shall be sufficient and conclusive in
favor of the Trustee and the Company if made in the following manner: 
 The fact and date of the execution by any such person of any
instrument shall be proved by medallion signature guarantee. 
 The record of any Holders’ meeting shall be proved in the manner
provided in Section 9.06. The Trustee may in any instance require further proof with respect to any of the matters referred to in this Section so long as the request is a reasonable one. If the Company shall solicit from the Holders of Debt
Securities of any series any Act, the Company may, at its option, by Board Resolution, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders of Registered Securities entitled to take such Act, but the Company shall have no obligation to do
so. Such record date shall be the record date specified in or pursuant to such Board Resolution, which shall be a date not earlier than the date 30 days prior to the first solicitation of Holders generally in connection therewith and not later than
the date such solicitation is completed. 

  
 49 








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

Section 8.03. Revocation of Consents; Future Holders Bound. At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the
Trustee, as provided in Section 8.01, of the taking of any Act by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities specified in this Indenture in connection with such Act, any Holder of a Debt Security
the number, letter or other distinguishing symbol of which is shown by the evidence to be included in the Debt Securities the Holders of which have consented to such Act may, by filing written notice with the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office
and upon proof of ownership as provided in Section 8.02, revoke such Act so far as it concerns such Debt Security. Except as aforesaid, any such Act taken by the Holder of any Debt Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon
all future Holders of such Debt Security and of any Debt Securities issued on transfer or in lieu thereof or in exchange or substitution therefor, irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Debt Security or such
other Debt Securities.

the meeting shall be elected by a majority vote of the meeting. 
 Subject to the provisos in the definition of “Outstanding,” at

calculated by the inspectors; provided that no vote shall be cast or counted at any meeting in respect of any Debt 

  
 51

Debt Securities of such series held by him or instruments in writing duly designating him as the person to vote on behalf of Holders of Debt Securities of such series. Any meeting of Holders with respect to which a meeting was duly called pursuant

thereat and affidavits by one or more persons having knowledge of the facts setting forth a copy of the notice of the meeting and showing that said notice was transmitted as provided in Section 9.02. The record shall show the serial numbers of the
Debt Securities voting in favor of or against any resolution. The record shall be signed and verified by the affidavits of the permanent chairman and secretary of the meeting and one of the duplicates shall be delivered to the Company and the other
to the Trustee to be preserved by the Trustee. Any record so signed and verified shall be conclusive evidence of the matters therein stated. 

Section 9.07. No Delay of Rights by Meeting. Nothing in this Article 9 contained shall be deemed or construed to authorize
or permit, by reason of any call of a meeting of Holders or any rights expressly or impliedly conferred hereunder to make such call, any hindrance or delay in the exercise of any right or rights conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to any
Holder under any of the provisions of the Indenture or of the Debt Securities of any series.

herein, or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Indenture that shall not be inconsistent with any provision of this Indenture, provided such other provisions shall not adversely affect the interests of
the Holders of Outstanding Debt Securities of any series created prior to the execution of such supplemental indenture in any material respect; or 

  
 54 








 (k) to change anything that does not materially adversely affect the interests of any
Holder of Outstanding Debt Securities of any series; provided that solely with respect to this Section 11.01(k), the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and may conclusively rely on an Officer’s Certificate from the Company that any
such modification, amendment or supplement does not materially adversely affect the interests of any Holder of Outstanding Debt Securities of any series. 

Section 11.02. Supplemental Indentures With Consent of Holders. With the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority
in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of each series affected by such supplemental indenture voting separately, by Act of said Holders delivered to the Company and the Trustee, the Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and
the Trustee may enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the
Holders under this Indenture of such Debt Securities; provided that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Debt Security of each such series affected thereby, 

(a) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any installment of principal of or interest on, any Debt Security, or reduce the
principal amount thereof or the rate or amount of interest thereon or any premium payable upon redemption thereof, or reduce the amount of the principal of a Discount Security that would be due and payable upon a declaration of acceleration of the
Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 5.02 or the amount provable in bankruptcy pursuant to Section 5.04, or adversely affect any right of repayment at the option of any Holder of any Debt Security, or change any Place of Payment where, or the
currency in which, any Debt Security or any premium or the interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or after the Stated Maturity thereof (or, in the case of redemption or repayment at
the option of the Holder, on or after the Redemption Date or Repayment Date, as the case may be); or 
 (b) reduce the percentage of
principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of any series, the consent of whose Holders is required for any modification or amendment of this Indenture, or the consent of whose Holders is required for any waiver of compliance with certain
provisions of this Indenture or certain defaults hereunder and their consequences provided for in this Indenture; or 
 (c) modify any of
the provisions of this Section 11.02, Section 5.13 or Section 12.05, except to increase any such percentage or to provide that certain other provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each
Outstanding Debt Security affected thereby; provided that this clause shall not be deemed to require the consent of any Holder with respect to changes in the references to “the Trustee” and concomitant changes in this Section 11.02
and Section 12.05, or the deletion of this proviso, in accordance with the requirements of Section 6.11 and Section 11.01(g). It shall not be necessary for any Act of Holders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed
supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof. 

  
 55 








 Section 11.03. Execution of Supplemental Indentures. In executing, or
accepting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article 11 or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 6.01) shall
be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized and permitted by this Indenture and is in compliance with all conditions precedent. The Trustee may, but shall not be
obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture that adversely affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise in a material way. 

Section 11.04. Effect of Supplemental Indentures. Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article 11,
this Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such supplemental indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder of Debt Securities theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder shall
be bound thereby; provided that a supplemental indenture that changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Indenture with respect to one or more particular series of Debt Securities, or that modifies the rights of the Holders
of Debt Securities of such series with respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture of the Holders of Debt Securities of any other series. 

Section 11.05. [RESERVED.] 

Section 11.06. Reference in Debt Securities to Supplemental Indentures. Debt Securities of any series authenticated and
delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article 11 may, and shall if required by the Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the
Company shall so determine, new Debt Securities of any series so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Board of Directors, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the Company and authenticated and
delivered by the Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Debt Securities of such series. 
 Section 11.07. Notice of
Supplemental Indenture. Promptly after the execution by the Company and the Trustee of any supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 11.02, the Company shall transmit to the Holders of Debt Securities of any series affected thereby a notice

 ARTICLE 12 

COVENANTS 

Section 12.01. Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest. The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of each series
of Debt Securities, that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Debt Securities in accordance with the terms of the Debt Securities and this Indenture. 

  
 56 








 Section 12.02. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Company will maintain in
each Place of Payment for any series of Debt Securities, an office or agency where Debt Securities of such series may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Debt Securities of such series may be surrendered for transfer or exchange and where
notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Debt Securities of such series and this Indenture may be served. 
 The
Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the
Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all presentations,
surrenders, notices and demands. 
 The Company may also from time to time designate different or additional offices or agencies to
be maintained for such purposes (in or outside of such Place of Payment), and may from time to time rescind any such designations; provided that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligations
described in the preceding paragraph. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. 

Section 12.03. Money for Debt Securities; Payments To Be Held in Trust. If the Company shall at any time act as its own
Paying Agent with respect to any series of Debt Securities, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any of the Debt Securities of such series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the
Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided, and will promptly notify the Trustee of its
action or failure so to act. 
 Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents with respect to any series of Debt
Securities it will, prior to each due date of the principal (and premium, if any) or interest on any Debt Securities of such series, deposit with any such Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest so
becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto, and (unless any such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. 

The Company will cause each Paying Agent with respect to any series of Debt Securities other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the
Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 12.03, that such Paying Agent will: 

(a) hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on Debt Securities of such series in trust
for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided; 

  
 57 








 (b) give the Trustee notice of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Debt
Securities of such series) in the making of any payment of principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on the Debt Securities of such series; and 

(c) at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so
held in trust by such Paying Agent. 
 The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this
Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such
sums were held by the Company or such Paying Agent, and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money. 

Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of
(and premium, if any) or interest on any Debt Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal (and premium, if any) or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company upon Company Request, or (if
then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust, and the Holder of such Debt Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying
Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided that the Trustee or such Paying Agent before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the
Company cause to be transmitted in the manner and to the extent provided by Section 1.05, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification, any
unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company. 
 Section 12.04. Officer’s Certificate as
to Default. The Company will deliver to the Trustee, on or before a date not more than four months after the end of each fiscal year of the Company (which on the date hereof is the calendar year) ending after the date hereof, an Officer’s
Certificate (one of the signers of which shall be the principal executive, principal financial or principal accounting officer of the Company), stating whether or not to the best knowledge of the signers thereof the Company is in default in the
performance and observation of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture, and, if the Company shall be in default, specifying all such defaults and the nature thereof of which they may have knowledge. Such compliance shall be
determined without regard to periods of grace or notice requirements. 
 Section 12.05. Waiver of Certain Covenants. The
Company may omit in any particular instance to comply, if so provided pursuant to Section 3.01, with any covenant specified pursuant to Section 3.01 with respect to the Debt Securities of any series if, before the time for such compliance, the
Holders of at least a majority in principal 

  
 58 








 
amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such covenant, but no
such waiver shall extend to or affect such covenant except to the extent so expressly waived and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such covenant shall remain in
full force and effect. 
 Section 12.06. Reports and Other Information. So long as any Debt Securities remain
Outstanding, the Company shall file with, or make available to, the Trustee, within 15 days after the Company is required to file the same with the Commission, copies of the annual reports and of the information, documents, and other reports that
the Company may be required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange or pursuant to Section 314 of the Trust Indenture Act; provided that any document publicly available on the
Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system shall satisfy the requirements hereof if the Company provides the Trustee with written notice when any such document is filed with the Commission.  

ARTICLE 13 

REDEMPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES 

Section 13.01. Applicability of Article. Debt Securities of any series that are redeemable before their Stated Maturity
shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms and (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01 for Debt Securities of any series) in accordance with this Article XIII. 

Section 13.02. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee. The election of the Company to redeem any Debt Securities shall be evidenced
by a Board Resolution. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company of less than all of the Debt Securities of any series pursuant to Section 13.03, the Company shall, at least 45 days prior to the Redemption Date (unless a shorter
period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date and of the principal amount of Debt Securities of such series to be redeemed. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company of all of the Debt
Securities of any series, the Company shall, at least 45 days prior to the Redemption Date (unless a shorter period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date. In the case of any redemption of Debt Securities
prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Debt Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officer’s Certificate evidencing compliance with such
restrictions. 
 Section 13.03. Selection by Trustee of Debt Securities To Be Redeemed. If less than all the Debt
Securities of any series are to be redeemed at the option of the Company, the particular Debt Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date from the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series not
previously called for redemption by the Trustee (a) in accordance with the Depositary’s procedures, or (b) if no Depositary’s procedures are applicable to such redemption, by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and
appropriate and which 

  
 59 








 
may provide for the selection for redemption of portions (equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Debt Securities of such series or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal
amount of Debt Securities of such series in a denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination for Debt Securities of such series. In any case where more than one Registered Security of such series is registered in the same name, the
Trustee may treat the aggregate principal amount so registered as if it were represented by one Registered Security of such series. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Debt Securities selected for redemption and, in the
case of any Debt Securities selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. 
 For all purposes of this
Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Debt Securities shall relate, in the case of any Debt Security redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such
Debt Security that has been or is to be redeemed. 
 Section 13.04. Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption shall be
given by the Company or, at the Company’s request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company, not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to the Holders of Debt Securities of any series to be
redeemed in whole or in part pursuant to this Article XIII, in the manner provided in Section 1.05. Any notice so given shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. Failure to give such
notice, or any defect in such notice to the Holder of any Debt Security of a series designated for redemption, in whole or in part, shall not affect the sufficiency of any notice of redemption with respect to the Holder of any other Debt Security of
such series. Any such redemption and notice may, in the Company’s discretion, be subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent. 

All notices of redemption shall identify the Debt Securities to be redeemed (including CUSIP numbers) and shall state: 

(a) the Redemption Date, 
 (b)
the Redemption Price, 
 (c) that Debt Securities of such series are being redeemed by the Company pursuant to provisions contained in this
Indenture or the terms of the Debt Securities of such series or a supplemental indenture establishing such series, if such be the case, together with a brief statement of the facts permitting such redemption, 

(d) if less than all Outstanding Debt Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption,
the principal amounts) of the particular Debt Securities to be redeemed, 
 (e) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become
due and payable upon each such Debt Security to be redeemed, and that interest thereon, if any, shall cease to accrue on and after said date, 

  
 60 








 (f) the Place or Places of Payment where such Debt Securities are to be surrendered for payment
of the Redemption Price, 
 (g) if any Debt Security of any series is to be redeemed in part, that on and after the Redemption Date, upon
surrender of such Debt Security, a new Debt Security or Debt Securities of such series in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued or, in the case of Debt Securities providing appropriate space for such notation, at
the option of the Holder, the Trustee, in lieu of delivering a new Debt Security or Debt Securities as aforesaid, may make a notation on such Debt Security of the payment of the redeemed portion thereof, 

(h) if such redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall describe each such condition, and if
applicable, shall state that, in the Company’s discretion, the Redemption Date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions are satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any
or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the Redemption Date or the Redemption Date as so delayed. 

Section 13.05. Deposit of Redemption Price. On or prior to any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee
or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust), in immediately available funds, an amount of money in which the Debt Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified
pursuant to Section 3.01 for the Debt Securities of such series) sufficient to pay on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the Debt Securities or
portions thereof which are to be redeemed on that date. 
 Section 13.06. Debt Securities Payable on Redemption Date.
(a) Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, any Debt Securities so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the
payment of the Redemption Price) such Debt Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Debt Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Debt Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price;
provided that installments of interest that have a Stated Maturity on or prior to the Redemption Date for such Debt Securities shall be payable according to the terms of such Debt Securities and the provisions of Section 3.07.

 (b) If any Debt Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal (and premium, if
any) shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed therefor in the Debt Security. 
 Section 13.07.
Debt Securities Redeemed in Part. Any Debt Security that is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at the Corporate Trust Office or such other office or agency of the Company as is specified pursuant to Section 3.01 with, if the
Company, the Security Registrar or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, the Security Registrar 

  
 61 








 
and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of
such Debt Security without service charge, a new Debt Security or Debt Securities of the same series, of like tenor and form, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the
unredeemed portion of the principal of the Debt Security so surrendered; except that if a Global Security is so surrendered, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Depositary for such Global Security,
without service charge, a new Global Security in a denomination equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Global Security so surrendered. In the case of a Debt Security providing appropriate space for such notation,
at the option of the Holder thereof, the Trustee, in lieu of delivering a new Debt Security or Debt Securities as aforesaid, may make a notation on such Debt Security of the payment of the redeemed portion thereof. 

Section 13.08. Repurchases. The Company may from time to time repurchase the Debt Securities in open market purchases or
negotiated transactions without prior notice to Holders or beneficial owners of Debt Securities. 
 ARTICLE 14 

DEFEASANCE 

Section 14.01. Applicability of Article. If, pursuant to Section 3.01, provision is made for the defeasance of Debt
Securities of a series and if the Debt Securities of such series are Registered Securities, then the provisions of this Article 14 shall be applicable except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01 for Debt Securities of such series.

 Section 14.02. Defeasance Upon Deposit of Moneys or U.S. Government Obligations. At the Company’s option, either

 (x) the Company shall be deemed to have been Discharged (as defined below) from its obligations with respect to Debt Securities of any
series on the 91st day after the applicable conditions set forth below have been satisfied; or 
 (y) the Company shall cease to be under
any obligation to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in Section 10.01 and Section 12.06 with respect to Debt Securities of any series (and, if so specified pursuant to Section 3.01, any other restrictive covenant added for the
benefit of such series pursuant to Section 3.01), and any omission to comply with such term, provision or condition shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under the Indenture with respect to such series of Debt Securities, 

in each case, at any time after the applicable conditions set forth below have been satisfied: 

(i) Company shall have deposited or caused to be deposited irrevocably with the Trustee as trust funds in trust, specifically
pledged as security 

  
 62 








 
for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Holders of the Debt Securities of such series (A) money in an amount, or (B) U.S. Government Obligations (as defined below) that through
the payment of interest and principal in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than one Business Day before the due date of any payment, money in an amount or (C) a combination of (A) and (B), sufficient, in the
opinion (with respect to (B) and (C)) of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge each installment of principal of and (premium, if
any) and interest on, the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series on the dates such installments of interest or principal and premium are due; 

(ii) if the Debt Securities of such series are then listed on the New York Stock Exchange, the Company shall have delivered to
the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Company’s exercise of its option under this Section would not cause such Debt Securities to be delisted; 

(iii) no Default or event (including such deposit) that, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would become a Default with
respect to the Debt Securities of such series shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit; 
 (iv) the
Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that beneficial owners of the Debt Securities of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of the Company’s
exercise of its option under this Section and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such option had not been exercised (which opinion, if the Company
shall have exercised its option under Section 1402(b)(x) of the Indenture, shall be (A) accompanied by and based upon a ruling to that effect received from or published by the Internal Revenue Service or (B) based upon a change in law
after the date of first issuance of Debt Securities of the relevant series); and 
 (v) the Company shall have delivered to
the Trustee (A) an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that (1) all conditions precedent to the defeasance under this Section 14.02 have been complied with and (2) the proposed defeasance is authorized
and permitted under this Indenture and any applicable supplemental indenture, and (B) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that either (1) as a result of a deposit pursuant to subsection (i) above and the related exercise of the
Company’s option under this Section 14.02, registration is not required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, by the Company with respect to the trust funds representing such deposit or by the Trustee for such trust funds or
(2) all necessary registrations under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, have been effected. 
 Notwithstanding any other
provisions of this Section 14.02, such defeasance shall be effected in compliance with any additional or substitute terms, conditions or limitations, which may be imposed on the Company in connection therewith pursuant to Section 3.01. 

  
 63 








 “Discharged” means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and
discharged the entire indebtedness represented by, and obligations under, the Debt Securities of such series and to have satisfied all the obligations under this Indenture relating to the Debt Securities of such series (and the Trustee, at the
expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except (A) the rights of Holders of Debt Securities of such series to receive, from the trust fund described in clause (1) above, payment of the principal of
(and premium, if any) and interest on such Debt Securities when such payments are due, (B) the Company’s obligations with respect to the Debt Securities of such series under Section 3.04, Section 3.05, Section 3.06 and Section 12.03 and
(C) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder. 
 “U.S. Government
Obligations” means securities that are (i) direct obligations of the United States for the payment of which its full faith and credit is pledged or (ii) obligations of a Person controlled or supervised by and acting as an agency
or instrumentality of the United States the timely payment of which is unconditionally guaranteed as a full faith and credit obligation by the United States, that, in either case under clauses (i) or (ii), are not callable or redeemable at the
option of the issuer thereof, and shall also include a depository receipt issued by a bank or trust company as custodian with respect to any such U.S. Government Obligation or a specific payment of interest on or principal of any such U.S.
Government Obligation held by such custodian for the account of the holder of a depository receipt; provided that (except as required by law) such custodian is not authorized to make any deduction from the amount payable to the
holder of such depository receipt from any amount received by the custodian in respect of the U.S. Government Obligation or the specific payment of interest on or principal of the U.S. Government Obligation evidenced by such depository receipt.

 Section 14.03. Deposited Moneys and U.S. Government Obligations to be Held in Trust. All moneys and U.S. Government
Obligations deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 14.02(b) in respect of Debt Securities of a series shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of such Debt Securities and this Indenture, to the payment,
either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Debt Securities, of all sums due and to become due thereon for principal (and premium, if any)
and interest, if any, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 The Company shall pay
and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to this Section 14.03 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 such Outstanding Debt Securities. 

  
 64

promptly pay or return to the Company upon Company Request any moneys or U.S. Government Obligations held by them at any time which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants as set forth in a written
certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount which would then be required to be deposited to effect a defeasance in accordance with this Article 14. 

The provisions of the last paragraph of Section 12.03 shall apply to any money held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent under this Article 14
that remains unclaimed for two years after the Maturity of any series of Debt Securities for which money or U.S. Government Obligations have been deposited pursuant to Section 14.02(b).
