provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph
shall be construed to prevent the Company from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by
any Person be canceled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on the date such action
is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Company, at its own expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Trustee in

notice, declaration, request or direction or to revoke the same, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date
by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Trustee from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has
previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be canceled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any
action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee, at the Company’s
expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and 
  

 15 








 the applicable Expiration Date to be sent to the Company in writing and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant
series in the manner set forth in Section 106. 
  
 With respect to
any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto that sets such record dates may designate any day as the “Expiration Date” and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any earlier or later day; provided that no
such change shall be effective unless notice of the proposed new Expiration Date is given to the other party hereto in writing, and to each Holder of Registered Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 106, on or prior to
the existing Expiration Date. If an Expiration Date is not designated with respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto that sets such record date shall be deemed to have initially designated the 180th day after such
record date as the Expiration Date with respect thereto, subject to its right to change the Expiration Date as provided in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Expiration Date shall be later than the 180th day after the applicable
record date.

hereunder to take any action hereunder with regard to any particular Security may do so with regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such Security or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such
appointment with regard to all or any part of such principal amount. 
  
 Section 105. Notices, Etc. To Trustee and Company. 
  
 Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with,

  
 (1) the Trustee by any Holder or the Company
shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, Attention:
                                        ,
or 
  
 (2) the Company by the Trustee or any
Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Company addressed to the attention of its Treasurer at the address of its principal
office specified in the first paragraph of this instrument or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company. 
  
 Section 106. Notice to Holders of Securities; Waiver. 
  
 Except as otherwise expressly provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders
of Securities of any event, 
  
 (1) such notice
shall be sufficiently given to Holders of Registered Securities if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of a Registered Security affected by such event, at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not later
than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice; and 
  

 16 








 (2) such notice shall be sufficiently given to Holders of Bearer Securities, if any, if
published in an Authorized Newspaper in The City of New York and, if such Securities are then listed on any stock exchange outside the United States, in an Authorized Newspaper in such city as the Company shall advise the Trustee that such stock
exchange so requires, on a Business Day at least twice, the first such publication to be not earlier than the earliest date and the second such publication not later than the latest date prescribed for the giving of such notice. 
  
 In any case where notice to Holders of Registered Securities is given by
mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder of a Registered Security shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders of Registered Securities or the
sufficiency of any notice to Holders of Bearer Securities given as provided herein. Any notice which is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given or provided. In the case by reason of the suspension
of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose
hereunder. 
  
 In case by reason of the suspension of publication
of any Authorized Newspaper or Authorized Newspapers or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to publish any notice to Holders of Bearer Securities as provided above, then such notification to Holders of Bearer Securities as shall
be given with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute sufficient notice to such Holders for every purpose hereunder. Neither failure to give notice by publication to Holders of Bearer Securities as provided above, nor any defect in any notice
so published, shall affect the sufficiency of any notice mailed to Holders of Registered Securities as provided above. 
  
 Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before
or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders of Securities shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in
reliance upon such waiver. 
  
 Section 107. Language of
Notices. 
  
 Any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, election or waiver required or permitted under this Indenture shall be in the English language, except that, if the Company so elects, any published notice may be in an official language of the country of publication.

  
 Section 108. Conflict with Trust Indenture
Act. 
  
 If any provision hereof limits, qualifies
or conflicts with any duties under any required provision of the Trust Indenture Act imposed hereon by Section 318(c) thereof, such required provision shall control. If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust
Indenture Act which may be so modified or excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to apply to this Indenture as so modified or to be excluded, as the case may be.

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

 Smithfield Foods,
Inc., a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of Virginia (herein called the “Company”, which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to
                            , or registered assigns, the principal sum of
             Dollars on
                                        
[if the Security is to bear interest prior to Maturity, insert—, and to pay interest thereon from              or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which
interest has been paid or duly provided for, [insert—semi-annually, quarterly, monthly or other description of the relevant payment period] on [            ,
            ,] and              in each year, commencing
                            , at the rate of
            % per annum, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment [if applicable, insert—, provided that any principal and premium, and any such
installment of interest, that is overdue shall bear interest at the rate of             % per annum (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable),
from the dates such amounts are due until they are paid or made available for payment, and such interest shall be payable on demand] [if applicable, insert—plus Additional Interest, as defined in the Indenture, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, on any interest payment that is not made on the applicable Interest Payment Date, which shall accrue at the rate of             % per anum, compounded]. The interest
so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business
on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be the
[                                        ]
(whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either
be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be
given to Holders of Securities of this series not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities of
this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture]. 
  
 [If the Security is not to bear interest prior to Maturity, insert—The principal of this Security shall not bear interest except in the case of a
default in payment of principal upon acceleration, upon redemption or at Stated Maturity and in such case the overdue principal and any overdue premium shall bear interest at the rate of
            % per annum (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), from the dates such amounts are due until they are paid or made available for
payment. Interest on any overdue principal or premium shall 
  

 20 








 be payable on demand. Any such interest on overdue principal or premium which is not paid on demand shall bear interest
at the rate of             % per annum (to the extent that the payment of such interest on interest shall be legally enforceable), from the date of such demand until the amount so
demanded is paid or made available for payment. Interest on any overdue interest shall be payable on demand.] 
  
 If the Company has the right to defer payments of interest, insert—So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company shall
have the right, at any time during the term of this Security, from time to time to defer the payment of interest by extending the interest payment period of this Security for a period not exceeding 10 consecutive semi-annual periods (an
“Extension Period”), during which Extension Period the Company shall not have the right to make partial payments of interest. No Extension Period shall end on a date other than an Interest Payment Date or extend beyond the Stated Maturity
of this Security. To the extent permitted by applicable law, interest, the payment of which has been deferred because of an Extension Period, will bear Additional Interest compounded semi-annually. At the end of the Extension Period, the Company
shall pay all interest then accrued and unpaid on this Security, including any Additional Interest and Additional Amounts if applicable, to the Person in whose name this Security is registered in the Register on the first Record Date preceding the
end of the Extension Period. Before the termination of any Extension Period, the Company may further extend such Extension Period, provided that such period together with all such further extensions thereof shall not exceed 10 consecutive
semi-annual periods, or extend beyond the Stated Maturity. At any time following the termination of any Extension Period and upon the payment of any accrued and unpaid Additional Interest and Additional Tax Sums, if applicable, then due, the Company
may elect to begin a new Extension Period, subject to the foregoing requirements. No interest shall be due and payable during an Extension Period, except at the end thereof. 
  
 During any such Extension Period, the Company shall not (i) declare or pay any dividends or distributions on, or redeem,
purchase, acquire or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any of the Company’s Capital Stock or (ii) make any payment of principal of or interest on or repay, repurchase or redeem any debt securities of the Company that rank on a parity
with or junior to this Security or make any guarantee payments with respect to any [SFD Guarantee or other] guarantee by the Company of the debt securities of any Subsidiary of the Company that by its terms ranks on a parity with or junior to this
Security (other than (a) dividends or distributions in Common Stock, (b) any declaration of a dividend in connection with the implementation of a Rights Plan, the issuance of any Capital Stock or any class or series of preferred stock of the Company
under any Rights Plan or the redemption or repurchase of any rights distributed pursuant to a Rights Plan, [(c) payments under the SFD Guarantee relating to the Capital Securities issued by the Trust,] and (d) purchases of Common Stock related to
the issuance of Common Stock or rights under any of the Company’s benefit plans for its directors, officers, employees, consultants or advisors). 
  
 [If the Property Trustee is the only registered holder of the Securities of this series at the time the Company elects to begin or extend an Extension
Period, the Company shall give written notice to the Property Trustee, the Administrative Trustees and the Trustee of its election to begin or extend any Extension Period at least five Business Days prior to the earlier of (i) the next succeeding
date on which Distributions on the Capital Securities issued by the Trust would have been payable but for the election to begin or extend such Extension Period or (ii) subject to 
  

 21 








 applicable principles of federal securities law, the date the Administrative Trustees are required to give notice to any
securities exchange or other applicable self-regulatory organization or to holders of such Capital Securities of the record date or the date such Distributions are payable, but in any event not less than five Business Days prior to such record
date.] [An Administrative Trustee shall give notice of the Company’s election to begin or extend an Extension Period to the holders of such Capital Securities.] 
  
 [If the Property Trustee is not the only holder of the Securities of this series at the time the Company elects to begin or
extend an Extension Period,] the Company shall give the holders of the Securities of this series, the Administrative Trustees and the Trustee written notice of its election to begin or extend such Extension Period at least 10 Business Days prior to
the earlier of (i) the next succeeding Interest Payment Date or (ii) subject to applicable principles of federal securities law, the date the Company is required to give notice of the record or payment date of such interest payment to any applicable
self-regulatory organization or to holders of the Securities of this series. 
  
 The semi-annual period in which any notice is given pursuant to the two preceding paragraphs shall be counted as one of the 10 consecutive semi-annual periods permitted in the maximum Extension Period. 
  
 Payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and [if applicable,
insert—any such] interest on this Security will be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in
                                        ,
in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts [if applicable, insert—; provided, however, that at the option of the Company payment of interest may be
made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register]. 
  
 The indebtedness of the Company evidenced by this Security, including the principal hereof and interest hereon, is, to the extent and in the manner set
forth in the Indenture, subordinate and junior in right of payment to the Company’s obligations to Holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company and each Holder of this Security, by acceptance hereof, agrees to and shall be bound by such
provisions of the Indenture and all other provisions of the Indenture. 
  
 Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Security set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place. 
  
 Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the
Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof by manual signature, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. 
  
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument to be duly executed.

 No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this
Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency,

series shall be issuable in temporary or permanent global form, any such Security may provide that it or any number of such Securities shall represent the aggregate amount of all Outstanding Securities of such series (or such lesser amount as is
permitted by the terms thereof) from time to time endorsed thereon and may also provide that the aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities represented thereby may from time to time be increased or reduced to reflect exchanges. Any endorsement of
any Security in global form to reflect the amount, or any increase or decrease in the amount, or changes in the rights of Holders, of Outstanding Securities represented thereby shall be made in such manner and by such Person or Persons as shall be
specified therein or in the Company Order to be delivered pursuant to Section 303 or 304 with respect thereto. Subject to the provisions of Section 303 and, if applicable, Section 304, the Trustee shall deliver and redeliver any Security in
permanent global form in the manner and upon instructions given by the Person or Persons specified therein or in the applicable Company Order. If a Company Order pursuant to Section 303 or 304 has been, or simultaneously is, delivered, any
instructions by the Company with respect to a Security in global form shall be in writing but need not be accompanied by or contained in an Officers’ Certificate and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel. 
  
 Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 308, unless otherwise specified in
or pursuant to this Indenture or any Securities, payment of principal of, any premium and interest on, and any Additional Amounts in respect of any Security in temporary or permanent global form shall be made to the Person or Persons specified
therein. 
  

 26 








 Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 309 and except as provided in the preceding paragraph, the
Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company and the Trustee shall treat as the Holder of such principal amount of Outstanding Securities represented by a Global Security (i) in the case of a Global Security in registered form, the Holder of
such Global Security in registered form, or (ii) in the case of a Global Security in bearer form, the Person or Persons specified pursuant to Section 301. 
  
 Section 205. Form of Legend for Global Securities. 
  

Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for the Securities evidenced thereby, every Global Security authenticated and delivered
hereunder shall bear a legend in substantially the following form: 
  
 THIS
SECURITY IS A GLOBAL SECURITY WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE INDENTURE HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AND IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF A DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE THEREOF. THIS SECURITY MAY NOT BE EXCHANGED IN WHOLE OR IN PART FOR A SECURITY REGISTERED, AND NO
TRANSFER OF THIS SECURITY IN WHOLE OR IN PART MAY BE REGISTERED, IN THE NAME OF ANY PERSON OTHER THAN SUCH DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE THEREOF, EXCEPT IN THE LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES DESCRIBED IN THE INDENTURE. 
  
 Section 206. Form of Trustee’s Certificate of Authentication.

  
 Subject to Section 612, the Trustee’s certificate of
authentication shall be in substantially the following form: 
  
 This is one of the Securities of the series designated therein referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture. 
  

	           [Date]
	 	 	 	                                      
                                        
                     ,
	 	 	 	 	 	 	as Trustee

 Section 207.
Securities Repayable at the Option of Holders. 
  
 If the Company shall establish pursuant to Section 301 that the Securities of a particular series are to be repaid before their Stated Maturity at the option of Holders thereof, then the face of such Securities may indicate the applicable
Repayment Date(s) and Repayment Price(s), and such Securities may include the following provisions: 
  
 If so indicated on the face of this Security, the Company may be required to repurchase this Security at the option of the Holder, in whole or in part, on
the Repayment Date(s) and at the applicable Repayment Price(s) so indicated on the face hereof, plus accrued interest, if any, to the applicable Repayment Date. On or before the applicable Repayment Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee
money sufficient to pay the applicable Repayment Price and any 
  

 27 








 interest accrued on the portion of this Security to be tendered for repayment. On and after such Repayment Date, interest
will cease to accrue on this Security or any portion hereof tendered for repayment. 
  
 The repayment option may be exercised by the Holder of this Security for less than the entire principal amount hereof, but in that event, the principal amount hereof remaining outstanding after repayment must be in an
authorized denomination. In the event of repurchase of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of this series and of like tenor for the unpurchased portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation
hereof. 
  
 In order for this Security to be repaid, the Trustee
must receive at least 30 days but not more than 60 days prior to the Repayment Date (i) this Security with the form entitled “Option to Elect Repayment” attached to this Security duly completed or (ii) a facsimile transmission or a letter
from a member of a national securities exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or a commercial bank or trust company in the United States setting forth the name of the Holder of this Security, the principal amount of this
Security, the principal amount of this Security to be repaid, the certificate number or a description of the tenor and terms of this Security, a statement that the option to elect repayment is being exercised thereby, and a guarantee that this
Security to be repaid, together with the duly completed form entitled “Option to Elect Repayment” attached to this Security, will be received by the Trustee not later than the fifth Business Day after the date of such facsimile
transmission or letter; however, such facsimile transmission or letter shall only be effective if this Security and duly completed form are received by the Trustee by such fifth Business Day. Such notice, once given, will be irrevocable unless
waived by the Company. 
  
 Unless otherwise indicated on the face
hereof, this Security will not be subject to repayment at the option of the Holder.

 The Securities of all series shall be subordinate to Senior Indebtedness of the Company as provided in Article XIV. 
  
 All Securities of any one series and all Coupons, if any, appertaining to
Bearer Securities of such series shall be substantially identical except as to Currency of payments due thereunder, denomination and the rate of interest, or method of determining the rate of interest, if any, Maturity, and the date from which
interest, if any, shall accrue and except as may otherwise be provided by the Company in or pursuant to the Company Resolution and set forth in, or determined in the manner provided, in the Officers’ Certificate or in any indenture or
indentures supplemental hereto pertaining to such series of Securities. The terms of the Securities of any series may provide, without limitation, that the Securities shall be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee on original issue from time to
time upon telephonic or written order of persons designated in the Officers’ Certificate or supplemental indenture (telephonic instructions to be promptly confirmed in writing by such person) and that such persons are authorized to determine,
consistent with such Officers’ Certificate or any applicable supplemental indenture, such terms and conditions of the Securities of such series as are specified in such Officers’ Certificate or supplemental indenture. All Securities of any
one series need not be issued at the same time and, unless otherwise so provided by the Company, a series may be reopened for issuances of additional Securities of such series or to establish additional terms of such series of Securities.

  
 If any of the terms of the Securities of any series shall be
established by action taken by or pursuant to a Company Resolution, the Company Resolution shall be delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Officers’ Certificate setting forth the terms or the manner of determining the terms
of such series. 
  
 Section 302. Currency;
Denominations. 
  
 Unless otherwise provided in or
pursuant to this Indenture, the principal of, any premium and interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to the Securities shall be payable in Dollars. Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, Registered Securities
denominated in Dollars shall be issuable in registered form without Coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof, and the Bearer Securities denominated in Dollars shall be issuable in the denomination of $5,000. Securities
not denominated in Dollars shall be 

  

 32 








 
issuable in such denominations as are established with respect to such Securities in or pursuant to this Indenture. 
  
 Section 303. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

  
 Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by
any Officer. Coupons shall be executed on behalf of the Company by the Corporate Secretary of the Company. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities or any Coupons appertaining thereto may be manual or facsimile. 
  
 Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto bearing the manual or
facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of
such Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities or Coupons. 
  
 At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities, together with any Coupons appertaining thereto, executed by the Company, to the Trustee for
authentication and, provided that the Company Resolution and Officers’ Certificate or supplemental indenture or indentures with respect to such Securities referred to in Section 301 and a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of
such Securities have been delivered to the Trustee, the Trustee in accordance with the Company Order and subject to the provisions hereof and of such Securities shall authenticate and deliver such Securities; provided, however, that in the case of
Securities offered in a Periodic Offering, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver such Securities from time to time in accordance with such other procedures (including, without limitation, the receipt by the Trustee of oral or electronic
instructions from the Company or its duly authorized agents, promptly confirmed in writing) acceptable to the Trustee as may be specified by or pursuant to a Company Order delivered to the Trustee prior to the time of the first authentication of
Securities of such series. If the form or terms of the Securities of the series have been established by or pursuant to one or more Company Resolutions as permitted by Sections 201 and 301, in authenticating such Securities, and accepting the
additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Sections 315(a) through 315(d) of the Trust Indenture Act) shall be fully
protected in relying upon, 
  
 (1) an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that: 
  
 (a) the form or
forms and terms, or if all Securities of such series are not to be issued at one time, the manner of determining the terms of such Securities and Coupons, if any, have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; 

 
 (b) all conditions precedent provided for in this
Indenture to the authentication and delivery of such Securities and Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto have been complied with and that such Securities, and Coupons, when completed by appropriate insertions, delivered by duly authorized officers
of the 

  

 33 








 
Company to the Trustee for authentication pursuant to this Indenture, and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner
and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute legally valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, arrangement, fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, and subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is
sought in a proceeding in equity or at law); and 
  
 (c) this Indenture has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act; 
  
 and 
  
 (2) an
Officers’ Certificate stating that, to the best knowledge of the Persons executing such certificate, no event which is, or after notice or lapse of time would become, an Event of Default with respect to any of the Securities shall have occurred
and be continuing. 
  
 If all the Securities of any series are not
to be issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver an Opinion of Counsel at the time of issuance of each Security, but such opinion shall be delivered at or before the time of issuance of the first Security of such series. After any such
first delivery, any Company Request that the Trustee authenticate Securities of such series for original issue will be deemed to be a certification by the Company that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to
authentication and delivery of such Securities continue to have been complied with. 
  
 The Trustee shall not be required to authenticate or to cause an Authenticating Agent to authenticate any Securities if the issue of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee’s own
rights, duties or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee or if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken.

  
 With respect to Securities of a series offered in a Periodic
Offering, the Trustee may rely, as to the authorization by the Company of any of such Securities, the form and terms thereof and the legality, validity, binding effect and enforceability thereof, upon the Opinion of Counsel and the other documents
delivered pursuant to Sections 201 and 301 and this Section, as applicable, in connection with the first authentication of Securities of such series. 
  
 Each Registered Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. Each Bearer Security and any temporary Bearer Security in global form shall be
dated as of the date specified in or pursuant to this Indenture. 
  
 No Security or Coupon appertaining thereto shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form
provided for in Section 206 or 612 executed by or on behalf of the Trustee or by the Authenticating Agent by the manual signature of one of its authorized officers. Such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the 

  

 34 








 
only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. Except as permitted by Section 306 or 308, the Trustee shall not
authenticate and deliver any Bearer Security unless all Coupons appertaining thereto then matured have been detached and canceled. 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the
Company shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 310, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to
the benefits of this Indenture. 
  
 Section 304. Temporary
Securities. 
  
 Pending the preparation of
definitive Securities, the Company may execute and deliver to the Trustee and, upon Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the manner provided in Section 303, temporary Securities in lieu thereof which are printed,
lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued, in registered form or, if authorized in or pursuant to this
Indenture, in bearer form with one or more Coupons or without Coupons and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers of the Company executing such Securities may determine, as conclusively
evidenced by their execution of such Securities. Such temporary Securities may be in global form. 
  
 Except in the case of temporary Securities in global form, which shall be exchanged in accordance with the provisions thereof, if temporary Securities are
issued, the Company shall cause definitive Securities to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities of the same series and containing terms and provisions that are identical to those of any temporary
Securities, such temporary Securities shall be exchangeable for such definitive Securities upon surrender of such temporary Securities at an Office or Agency for such Securities, without charge to any Holder thereof. Upon surrender for cancellation
of any one or more temporary Securities (accompanied by any unmatured Coupons appertaining thereto), the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Securities of
authorized denominations of the same series and containing identical terms and provisions; provided, however, that no definitive Bearer Security, except as provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, shall be delivered in exchange for a temporary
Registered Security; and provided, further, that a definitive Bearer Security shall be delivered in exchange for a temporary Bearer Security only in compliance with the conditions set forth in or pursuant to this Indenture. Unless otherwise provided
in or pursuant to this Indenture with respect to a temporary Global Security, until so exchanged the temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such
series. 
  
 Section 305. Registration, Transfer and
Exchange. 
  
 With respect to the Registered
Securities of each series, if any, the Company shall cause to be kept a register (each such register being herein sometimes referred to as the “Security Register”) at an Office or Agency for such series in which, subject to such reasonable
regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of the Registered Securities of 
  

 35 








 such series and of transfers of the Registered Securities of such series. Such Office or Agency shall be the
“Security Registrar” for that series of Securities. Unless otherwise specified in or pursuant to this Indenture or the Securities, the Trustee shall be the initial Security Registrar for each series of Securities. The Company shall have
the right to remove and replace from time to time the Security Registrar for any series of Securities; provided that no such removal or replacement shall be effective until a successor Security Registrar with respect to such series of Securities
shall have been appointed by the Company and shall have accepted such appointment. In the event that the Trustee shall not be or shall cease to be Security Registrar with respect to a series of Securities, it shall have the right to examine the
Security Register for such series at all reasonable times. There shall be only one Security Register for each series of Securities. 
  
 Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Registered Security of any series at any Office or Agency for such series, the Company shall execute,
and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Registered Securities of the same series denominated as authorized in or pursuant to this Indenture, of a like aggregate
principal amount bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding and containing identical terms and provisions. 
  
 At the option of the Holder, Registered Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Registered Securities of the same series containing identical
terms and provisions, in any authorized denominations, and of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at any Office or Agency for such series. Whenever any Registered Securities are so surrendered for
exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Registered Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 
  
 If provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, with respect to Securities of any series, at the option of the Holder, Bearer
Securities of such series may be exchanged for Registered Securities of such series containing identical terms, denominated as authorized in or pursuant to this Indenture and in the same aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Bearer
Securities to be exchanged at any Office or Agency for such series, with all unmatured Coupons and all matured Coupons in default thereto appertaining. If the Holder of a Bearer Security is unable to produce any such unmatured Coupon or Coupons or
matured Coupon or Coupons in default, such exchange may be effected if the Bearer Securities are accompanied by payment in funds acceptable to the Company and the Trustee in an amount equal to the face amount of such missing Coupon or Coupons, or
the surrender of such missing Coupon or Coupons may be waived by the Company and the Trustee if there is furnished to them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them and any Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder of
such Bearer Security shall surrender to any Paying Agent any such missing Coupon in respect of which such a payment shall have been made, such Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount of such payment; provided, however, that, except as
otherwise provided in Section 1002, interest represented by Coupons shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of those Coupons at an Office or Agency for such series located outside the United States. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in
case a Bearer Security of any series is surrendered at any such Office or Agency for such series in exchange for a Registered Security of such series and like tenor after the close of business at such Office or Agency on (i) any Regular Record Date
and before the opening of business at such Office or Agency on the relevant Interest Payment Date, 
  

 36 








 or (ii) any Special Record Date and before the opening of business at such Office or Agency on the related date for
payment of Defaulted Interest, such Bearer Security shall be surrendered without the Coupon relating to such Interest Payment Date or proposed date of payment, as the case may be (or, if such Coupon is so surrendered with such Bearer Security, such
Coupon shall be returned to the Person so surrendering the Bearer Security), and interest or Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, shall not be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, in respect of
the Registered Security issued in exchange for such Bearer Security, but shall be payable only to the Holder of such Coupon when due in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. 
  
 If provided in or pursuant to this Indenture with respect to Securities of any series, at the option of the Holder,
Registered Securities of such series may be exchanged for Bearer Securities upon such terms and conditions as may be provided in or pursuant to this Indenture with respect to such series. 
  
 Whenever any Securities are surrendered for exchange as contemplated by the immediately preceding two paragraphs, the
Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, any Global Security shall be exchangeable for definitive
Securities only if (i) the Depositary is at any time unwilling, unable or ineligible to continue as Depositary and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of the date the Company is so informed in writing, (ii) the
Company executes and delivers to the Trustee a Company Order to the effect that such Global Security shall be so exchangeable, or (iii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Securities. If the beneficial owners of
interests in a Global Security are entitled to exchange such interests for definitive Securities as the result of an event described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of the preceding sentence, then without unnecessary delay but in any event not later
than the earliest date on which such interests may be so exchanged, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee definitive Securities in such form and denominations as are required by or pursuant to this Indenture, and of the same series, containing
identical terms and in aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Security, executed by the Company. On or after the earliest date on which such interests may be so exchanged, such Global Security shall be surrendered
from time to time by the U.S. Depositary or such other Depositary as shall be specified in the Company Order with respect thereto, and in accordance with instructions given to the Trustee and the U.S. Depositary or such other Depositary, as the case
may be (which instructions shall be in writing but need not be contained in or accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate or be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel), as shall be specified in the Company Order with respect thereto to the Trustee,
as the Company’s agent for such purpose, to be exchanged, in whole or in part, for definitive Securities as described above without charge. The Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, in exchange for each portion of such
surrendered Global Security, a like aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series of authorized denominations and of like tenor as the portion of such Global Security to be exchanged, which (unless such Securities are not
issuable both as Bearer Securities and as Registered Securities, in which case the definitive Securities exchanged for the Global Security shall be issuable only in the form in 
  

 37 








 which the Securities are issuable, as provided in or pursuant to this Indenture) shall be in the form of Bearer
Securities or Registered Securities, or any combination thereof, as shall be specified by the beneficial owner thereof, but subject to the satisfaction of any certification or other requirements to the issuance of Bearer Securities; provided,
however, that no such exchanges may occur during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before any selection of Securities of the same series to be redeemed and ending on the relevant Redemption Date; and provided, further, that
(unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture) no Bearer Security delivered in exchange for a portion of a Global Security shall be mailed or otherwise delivered to any location in the United States. Promptly following any such
exchange in part, such Global Security shall be returned by the Trustee to such Depositary or the U.S. Depositary, as the case may be, or such other Depositary or U.S. Depositary referred to above in accordance with the instructions of the Company
referred to above. If a Registered Security is issued in exchange for any portion of a Global Security after the close of business at the Office or Agency for such Security where such exchange occurs on or after (i) any Regular Record Date for such
Security and before the opening of business at such Office or Agency on the next Interest Payment Date, or (ii) any Special Record Date for such Security and before the opening of business at such Office or Agency on the related proposed date for
payment of interest or Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, interest shall not be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, in respect of such Registered Security, but shall be payable on such
Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, only to the Person to whom interest in respect of such portion of such Global Security shall be payable in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. 
  
 All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of
Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company evidencing the same debt and entitling the Holders thereof to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 

 
 Every Registered Security presented or surrendered for registration of
transfer or for exchange or redemption shall (if so required by the Company or the Security Registrar for such Security) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security
Registrar for such Security duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. 
  
 No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange, or redemption of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge and any other expenses (including fees and expenses of the Trustee) that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant
to Section 304, 905 or 1107, upon repayment in part of any Registered Security pursuant to Article Thirteen, or upon surrender in part of any Registered Security for conversion or exchange into Capital Stock or other securities pursuant to its
terms, in each case not involving any transfer. 
  
 Except as
otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, the Company shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Securities during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the selection for
redemption of Securities of like tenor and the same series under Section 1103 and ending at the close of business on the day 
  

 38 








 of such selection, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Registered Security so selected for redemption in
whole or in part, except in the case of any Security to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed, or (iii) to exchange any Bearer Security so selected for redemption except, to the extent provided with respect to such Bearer
Security, that such Bearer Security may be exchanged for a Registered Security of like tenor and the same series, provided that such Registered Security shall be immediately surrendered for redemption with written instruction for payment consistent
with the provisions of this Indenture or (iv) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Security which, in accordance with its terms, has been surrendered for repayment at the option of the Holder, except the portion, if any, of such
Security not to be so repaid. 
  
 The provisions of Clauses (1),
(2) and (3) below shall apply only to Global Securities: 
  
 (1) Each Registered Global Security authenticated under this Indenture shall be registered in the name of the Depositary designated for such Global Security or a nominee thereof and delivered to such Depositary or a
nominee thereof or custodian therefor, and each such Global Security shall constitute a single Security for all purposes of this Indenture. 
  
 (2) Any exchange or transfer of a Registered Global Security for other Securities may be made in whole or in part, and all Securities
issued in exchange for or upon transfer of a Global Security or any portion thereof shall be registered in such names as the Depositary for such Global Security shall direct. 
  
 (3) Every Security authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for or in
lieu of, a Global Security or any portion thereof, whether pursuant to this Section, Section 304, 306, 905 or 1107 or otherwise, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Security, unless such Security is registered
in the name of a Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof. 
  
 Section 306. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities. 
  
 If any mutilated Security or a Security with a mutilated Coupon appertaining to it is surrendered to the Trustee, subject to
the provisions of this Section 306, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same series containing identical terms and of like principal amount and bearing a number not
contemporaneously outstanding, with Coupons appertaining thereto corresponding to the Coupons, if any, appertaining to the surrendered Security. 
  
 If there be delivered to the Company and to the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security or Coupon,
and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security or Coupon has been acquired by a bona fide
purchaser, the Company shall execute and, upon the Company’s request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security or in exchange for the Security to which a
destroyed, lost or 
  

 39 








 stolen Coupon appertains with all appurtenant Coupons not destroyed, lost or stolen, a new Security of the same series
containing identical terms and of like principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, with Coupons corresponding to the Coupons, if any, appertaining to such destroyed, lost or stolen Security or to the Security to which
such destroyed, lost or stolen Coupon appertains. 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 306, in case any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security or Coupon has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new
Security, pay such Security or Coupon; provided, however, that payment of principal of, any premium or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to any Bearer Securities shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 1002, be payable only
at an Office or Agency for such Securities located outside the United States and, unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture (including this paragraph), any interest on Bearer Securities and any Additional Amounts with respect to
such interest shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of the Coupons appertaining thereto. 
  
 Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. 
  
 Every new Security, with any Coupons appertaining thereto issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security, or in
exchange for a Security to which a destroyed, lost or stolen Coupon appertains shall constitute a separate obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security and Coupons appertaining thereto or the destroyed, lost or
stolen Coupon shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of such series and any Coupons, if any, duly issued hereunder.

  
 The provisions of this Section, as amended or supplemented
pursuant to this Indenture with respect to particular Securities or generally, shall be exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or
stolen Securities or Coupons. 
  
 Section 307. Deferrals of
Interest Payment Dates. 
  
 If specified as
contemplated by Section 301 or Article II with respect to the Securities of a particular series, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company shall have the right, at any time during the term of such series, from time
to time to defer the payment of interest on such Securities for such period or periods as may be specified as contemplated by Section 301 (each, an “Extension Period”) during which Extension Periods the Company shall have the right to make
partial payments of interest on any interest payment date. No Extension Period shall end on a date other than an interest payment date or extend beyond the Stated Maturity. At the end of any such Extension Period the Company shall pay all interest
then accrued and unpaid on the Securities (together with Additional Interest or other interest thereon, 
  

 40 








 if any, at the rate specified for the Securities of such series to the extent permitted by applicable law). 

 
 Section 308. Payment of Interest and Certain Additional Amounts;
Rights to Interest and Certain Additional Amounts Preserved. 
  
 Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, any interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to any Registered Security which shall be payable, and are punctually paid or duly provided for, on
any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered as of the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest. Unless otherwise provided in or
pursuant to this Indenture, in case a Bearer Security is surrendered in exchange for a Registered Security after the close of business at an Office or Agency for such Security on any Regular Record Date therefor and before the opening of business at
such Office or Agency on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date therefor, such Bearer Security shall be surrendered without the Coupon relating to such Interest Payment Date and interest shall not be payable on such Interest Payment Date in
respect of the Registered Security issued in exchange for such Bearer Security, but shall be payable only to the Holder of such Coupon when due in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. 
  
 Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, any interest on
and any Additional Amounts with respect to any Registered Security which shall be payable, but shall not be punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date for such Registered Security (herein called “Defaulted
Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder thereof on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder; and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in
Clause (1) or (2) below: 
  
 (1) The Company may
elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Person in whose name such Registered Security (or a Predecessor Security thereof) shall be 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 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 on or prior to the date of
the proposed payment, such money when so deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Person 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 Holder of such Registered Security (or a Predecessor Security thereof) at his address as it appears in the Security Register not less 
  

 41 








 than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. The Trustee may, in its discretion, in the name and at
the expense of the Company cause a similar notice to be published at least once in an Authorized Newspaper of general circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, but such publication shall not be a condition precedent to the
establishment of 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 Person in whose name such
Registered Security (or a Predecessor Security thereof) shall be registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (2). In case a Bearer Security is surrendered at the
Office or Agency for such Security in exchange for a Registered Security after the close of business at such Office or Agency on any Special Record Date and before the opening of business at such Office or Agency on the related proposed date for
payment of Defaulted Interest, such Bearer Security shall be surrendered without the Coupon relating to such Defaulted Interest and Defaulted Interest shall not be payable on such proposed date of payment in respect of the Registered Security issued
in exchange for such Bearer Security, but shall be payable only to the Holder of such Coupon when due in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. 
  
 (2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any
securities exchange on which such Security may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this Clause, such payment shall be deemed
practicable by the Trustee. 
  
 Unless otherwise provided in or
pursuant to this Indenture or the Securities of any particular series, at the option of the Company, interest on Registered Securities that bear interest may be paid by mailing a check to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address
shall appear in the Security Register or by transfer to an account maintained by the payee with a bank located in the United States, provided that appropriate wire transfer instructions shall have been delivered by such payee to the Paying Agent at
least five Business Days prior to the applicable date for payment of interest. 
  
 Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section and Section 305, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the
rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security. 
  
 Section 309. Persons Deemed Owners. 
  
 Prior to due presentment of a Registered Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may
treat the Person in whose name such Registered Security is registered in the Security Register as the owner of such Registered Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of, any premium and (subject to Sections 305 and 308) interest
on and any Additional Amounts with respect to such Registered Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not any payment with 
  

 42 








 respect to such Registered Security shall be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or
the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
  
 The
Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the bearer of any Bearer Security or the bearer of any Coupon as the absolute owner of such Security or Coupon for the purpose of receiving payment thereof or on account
thereof and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not any payment with respect to such Security or Coupon shall be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the
contrary. 
  
 No holder of any beneficial interest in any Global
Security held on its behalf by a U.S. Depositary or Depositary shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect to such Global Security, and such U.S. Depositary or Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Trustee, and any agent of the
Company or the Trustee as the owner of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. 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 of a Global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. 
  
 Section 310. Cancellation. 
  
 All Securities and Coupons surrendered for payment, redemption, registration
of transfer, exchange or conversion or for credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee, and any such Securities and Coupons, as well as Securities and Coupons
surrendered directly to the Trustee for any such purpose, shall be canceled promptly by the Trustee. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the
Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Securities so delivered shall be canceled promptly by the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities canceled as provided in this Section,
except as expressly permitted by or pursuant to this Indenture. All canceled Securities and Coupons held by the Trustee shall be disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its customary procedures, unless by a Company Order the Company directs
their return to it. 
  
 Section 311. Computation of
Interest. 
  
 Except as otherwise provided in or
pursuant to this Indenture or in the Securities of any series, interest on the Securities shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 
  
 Section 312. Right of Set Off. 
  
 With respect to the Securities of a series issued to a SFD Trust, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture
(but subject to the last paragraph of Section 508), the Company shall have the right to set off any payment it is otherwise required to make thereunder in respect of any such Security to the extent the Company has theretofore made, or is
concurrently on the date of such payment making, such payment under the SFD Guarantee relating to such Security or under Section 508 of this Indenture. 
  

 43 








 Section 313. Shorting or Extension of Stated Maturity. 
  
 If specified as contemplated by Section 301 or Article II with respect to
the Securities of a particular series, the Company shall have the right to (i) shorten the Stated Maturity of the principal of the Securities of such series at any time to any date not earlier than the first date on which the Company has the right,
if any, to redeem the Securities of such series, and (ii) extend the Stated Maturity of the principal of the Securities of such series at any time at its election for one or more periods, but in no event to a date later than the 49th anniversary of
the first interest payment date following the Original Issue Date of the Securities of such series; provided that, if the Company elects to exercise its right to extend the Stated Maturity of the principal of the Securities of such series pursuant
to this clause (ii), at the time such election is made and at the time of extension (A) the Company is not in bankruptcy, otherwise insolvent or in liquidation, (B) the Company is not in default in the payment of any interest or principal on such
Securities, (C) in the case of any series of Securities issued to a SFD Trust, such SFD Trust is not in arrears on payments of Distributions on the Preferred Securities issued by such SFD Trust and no deferred Distributions are accumulated, and (D)
such Securities are rated not less than BBB- by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services or Baa3 by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or the equivalent by any other nationally recognized statistical rating organization. In the event the
Company elects to shorten or extend the Stated Maturity of the Securities of a particular series, it shall give notice to the Trustee (not less than 45 days prior to the effectiveness thereof), and the Trustee shall give notice of such shortening or
extension to the holders not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the effectiveness thereof. 
  
 Section 314. Agreed Tax Treatment. 
  
 Each Security issued hereunder shall provide that the Company and, by its acceptance of a Security or a beneficial interest therein, the holder of, and
any Person that acquires a beneficial interest in, such Security agree that for United States federal, state and local tax purposes it is intended that such Security constitute indebtedness. 
  
 Section 315. CUSIP, CINS or ISIN Numbers. 
  
 The Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP”,
“CINS” or “ISIN” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee or the Company shall use “CUSIP”, “CINS” or “ISIN” numbers in notices of redemption or repurchase as a convenience to
Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption or repurchase and that reliance may be placed
only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption or repurchase shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. 
  
 ARTICLE IV. 
  
 SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE 
  
 Section 401. Satisfaction and Discharge. 
  

 44 








 Upon the direction of the Company by a Company Order, this Indenture shall cease to be of further effect
with respect to any series of Securities specified in such Company Order and any Coupons appertaining thereto, and the Trustee, on receipt of a Company Order, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction
and discharge of this Indenture as to such series, when 
  
 (1) either 
  
 (a) all Securities of such series theretofore authenticated and delivered and all Coupons appertaining thereto (other than (i) Coupons appertaining to Bearer Securities of such series surrendered in exchange for Registered Securities of
such series and maturing after such exchange whose surrender is not required or has been waived as provided in Section 305, (ii) Securities and Coupons of such series which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as
provided in Section 306, (iii) Coupons appertaining to Securities of such series called for redemption and maturing after the relevant Redemption Date whose surrender has been waived as provided in Section 1106, and (iv) Securities and Coupons of
such series for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 1003) have been delivered to the
Trustee for cancellation; or 
  
 (b) all such
Securities of such series and, in the case of (i) or (ii) below, any Coupons appertaining thereto not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation 
  
 (i) have become due and payable, or 
  
 (ii) will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year, or 
  
 (iii) if redeemable at the option of the Company, are to be
called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company, 
  
 and the Company, in the case of (i), (ii) or (iii) above, has deposited or
caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for such purpose, money in the Currency in which such Securities are payable in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Securities and any Coupons
appertaining thereto not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, including the principal of, any premium and interest on, and, to the extent that the Securities of such series provide for the payment of Additional Amounts thereon and
the amount of any such Additional Amounts is at the time of deposit reasonably determinable by the Company (in the exercise by the Company of its sole and absolute discretion), any Additional Amounts with respect to, such Securities and any Coupons
appertaining thereto, to the date of such deposit (in 
  

 45 








 the case of Securities which have become due and payable) or to the Maturity thereof, as
the case may be; 
  
 (2) the Company has paid or
caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company with respect to the Outstanding Securities of such series and any Coupons appertaining thereto; and 
  
 (3) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each
stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as to such series have been complied with. 
  
 In the event there are Securities of two or more series hereunder, the Trustee shall be required to execute an instrument
acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture only if requested to do so with respect to Securities of such series as to which it is Trustee and if the other conditions thereto are met. 
  
 Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect
to any series of Securities, the obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Section 607 and, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (b) of clause (1) of this Section, the obligations of the Company and the
Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series under Sections 305, 306, 403, 1002 and 1003, with respect to the payment of Additional Amounts, if any, with respect to such Securities as contemplated by Section 1004 (but only to the extent
that the Additional Amounts payable with respect to such Securities exceed the amount deposited in respect of such Additional Amounts pursuant to Section 401(1)(b)), and with respect to any rights to convert or exchange such Securities into Capital
Stock or other securities, shall survive. 
  
 Section 402.
Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance. 
  
 (1)
Unless, pursuant to Section 301, either or both of (i) defeasance of the Securities of or within a series under clause (2) of this Section 402 or (ii) covenant defeasance of the Securities of or within a series under clause (3) of this Section 402
shall not be applicable with respect to the Securities of such series, then such provisions, together with the other provisions of this Section 402 (with such modifications thereto as may be specified pursuant to Section 301 with respect to any
Securities), shall be applicable to such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto, and the Company may at its option by Company Resolution, at any time, with respect to such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto, elect to have
Section 402(2) or Section 402(3) be applied to such Outstanding Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Section 402. 
  
 (2) Upon the Company’s exercise of the above option applicable to this Section 402(2) with respect to any Securities of
or within a series, the Company shall be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to such Outstanding Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto on the date the conditions set forth in clause (4) of this Section 402 are
satisfied (hereinafter, “defeasance”). For this purpose, such defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by 
  

 46 








 such Outstanding Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto, which shall thereafter be deemed to be
“Outstanding” only for the purposes of clause (5) of this Section 402 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) below, and to have satisfied all of its other obligations under such Securities and any
Coupons appertaining thereto and this Indenture insofar as such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto are concerned (and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Request and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments
acknowledging the same), except for the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (i) the rights of Holders of such Outstanding Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto to receive, solely from the trust
fund described in clause (4) of this Section 402 and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on, and Additional Amounts, if any, with respect to, such Securities
and any Coupons appertaining thereto when such payments are due, and any rights of such Holder to convert or exchange such Securities into Capital Stock or other securities, (ii) the obligations of the Company and the Trustee with respect to such
Securities under Sections 305, 306, 1002 and 1003, with respect to the payment of Additional Amounts, if any, on such Securities as contemplated by Section 1004 (but only to the extent that the Additional Amounts payable with respect to such
Securities exceed the amount deposited in respect of such Additional Amounts pursuant to Section 401(4)(a) below), and with respect to any rights to convert or exchange such Securities into Capital Stock or other securities, (iii) the rights,
powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder (including under Section 607) and (iv) this Section 402. The Company may exercise its option under this Section 402(2) notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under clause (3)
of this Section 402 with respect to such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto. 
  
 (3) Upon the Company’s exercise of the above option applicable to this Section 402(3) with respect to any Securities of or within a series, the Company shall be released from any covenant applicable to such
Securities specified pursuant to Section 301(19), with respect to such Outstanding Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto on and after the date the conditions set forth in clause (4) of this Section 402 are satisfied (hereinafter,
“covenant defeasance”), and such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto shall thereafter be deemed to be not “Outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or Act of Holders (and the
consequences of any thereof) in connection with any such covenant, but shall continue to be deemed “Outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder. For this purpose, such covenant defeasance means that, with respect to such Outstanding
Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto, the Company may omit to comply with, and shall have no liability in respect of, any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any
reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a default or an Event of Default under Section
501(4) or 501(7) or otherwise, as the case may be, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities and Coupons appertaining thereto shall be unaffected thereby. 
  
 (4) The following shall be the conditions to application of clause (2) or (3)
of this Section 402 to any Outstanding Securities of or within a series and any Coupons appertaining thereto: 
  

 47 








 (a) The Company shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee (or another
trustee satisfying the requirements of Section 608 who shall agree to comply with the provisions of this Section 402 applicable to it) as trust funds in trust for the purpose of making the following payments, specifically pledged as security for,
and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Holders of such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto, (1) an amount in Dollars or in such Foreign Currency in which such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto are then specified as

Maturity of such principal or installment of principal or interest or the Redemption Date established pursuant to clause (d) below, if any, and (z) any mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments applicable to such Outstanding Securities
and any Coupons appertaining thereto on the day on which such payments are due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and of such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto.

violation of, or constitute a default under, this Indenture or any other material agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound. 
  
 (c) Solely in the case of an election under clause (2) of this Section 402, no Event of Default or event which with notice
or lapse of time or both would become an Event of Default with respect to such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit and, with respect to defeasance only, at any time during
the period ending on the 91st day after the date of such deposit (it being understood that this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until the expiration of such period). 
  
 (d) If the Securities are to be redeemed prior to Stated Maturity (other than from mandatory sinking fund payments or

403, the “Trustee”) pursuant to clause (4) of Section 402 in respect of any Outstanding Securities of any series and any Coupons appertaining thereto shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of
such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto 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
Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal (and premium, if any) and interest and Additional Amounts, if any, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the
extent required by law. 
  
 Unless otherwise specified in or
pursuant to this Indenture or any Securities, if, after a deposit referred to in Section 402(4)(a) has been made, (a) the Holder of a Security in respect of which such deposit was made is entitled to, and does, elect pursuant to Section 301 or the
terms of such Security to receive payment in a Currency other than that in which the deposit pursuant to Section 402(4)(a) has been made in respect of such Security, or (b) a Conversion Event occurs in respect of the Foreign Currency in which the
deposit pursuant to Section 402(4)(a) has been made, the indebtedness represented by such Security and any Coupons appertaining thereto shall be deemed to have been, and will be, fully discharged and satisfied through the payment of the principal of
(and premium, if any), and interest, if any, on, and Additional Amounts, if any, with respect to, such Security as the same becomes due out of the proceeds yielded by converting (from time to time as specified below in the case of any such election)

Company from time to time upon Company Request any money or Government Obligations (or other property and any proceeds therefrom) held by it as provided in clause (4) of this Section 402 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of
independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect a defeasance or covenant defeasance, as applicable, in
accordance with this Section 402. 
  
 Section 403.
Application of Trust Money. 
  
 Subject to the
provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all money and Government Obligations deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) pursuant to Section 401 or 402 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the
provisions of the Securities, the Coupons 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 (or other qualifying trustee) may determine, to the
Persons entitled thereto, of the principal, premium, interest and Additional Amounts for whose payment such money has or Government Obligations have been deposited with or received by the Trustee (or other qualifying Trustee); but such money and

herein to the related defeasance or covenant defeasance have been complied with. In no event shall the Trustee be liable for any acts or omissions of said trustee. 
  
 Section 405. Reinstatement. 
  
 If the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) is unable to apply any money or Government Obligations in accordance with
Section 401 or 402, as applicable, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s obligations under this Indenture, the Securities and
the Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 401 or 402 until such time as the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) is permitted to apply all such money or
Government Obligations in accordance with Section 401 or 402, as applicable; provided, however, that if the Company has made any payment of principal of or any premium or interest on any Securities or Coupons because of the reinstatement of
its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities or Coupons to receive such payment from the money or Government Obligations held by the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee).

the Securities of such series, or such lesser amount as may be provided for in the Securities of such series, to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders), and upon any such
declaration such principal or such lesser amount shall become immediately due and payable; provided however, that in the case of the Securities of a 
  

 52 








 series issued to a SFD Trust, if upon an Event of Default, the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount
of the outstanding Securities of such series fail to declare the principal of all the Securities of that series to be due and payable immediately, or such lesser amount as may be provided for in the Securities of such series, the holders of at least

thereon. 
  
 Section 503. Collection of Indebtedness and
Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. 
  
 The Company

amount of money then due and payable with respect to such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto, with interest upon the overdue principal, any premium and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, upon any
overdue installments of interest and Additional Amounts at the rate or rates borne by or provided for in such Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further amount of money as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection,
including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and all other amounts due to the Trustee under Section 607.

other obligor upon such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto, wherever situated. 
  
 If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities of such
series and any Coupons appertaining thereto by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture
or such Securities or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein or therein, or to enforce any other proper remedy. 
  
 Section 504. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 
  
 In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment,
composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or the property of the Company or such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities
shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of any overdue principal, premium, interest or Additional Amounts)
shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to take any and all actions authorized under the 
  

 54 








 Trust Indenture Act in order to have claims of the Holders and the Trustee allowed in any such proceeding. In particular,

its agents or counsel) and of the Holders of Securities or any Coupons allowed in such judicial proceeding, and 
  
 (2) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder of Securities or any Coupons to make such payments to the Trustee or, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders of
Securities or any Coupons, to such Holders of Securities or any Coupons, and to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and any other
amounts due the Trustee under Section 607.

Coupons or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder of a Security or any Coupon in any such proceeding; provided, however, that the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders, vote for

brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery or judgment, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, shall be for the
ratable benefit of each and every Holder of a Security or Coupon in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

 Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates
fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal, or any premium, interest or Additional Amounts, upon

 THIRD: The balance, if any, to the Person or Persons entitled thereto. 
  
 Section 507. Limitation on Suits. 
  
 No Holder of any Security of any series or any Coupons appertaining thereto shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with

reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request; 
  
 (4) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding;
and 
  
 (5) no direction inconsistent with such
written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series; 
  
 it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by
availing of, any provision of this Indenture or any Security to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other such Holders or Holders of Securities of any other series, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other
Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all such Holders.

the respective Stated Maturity or Maturities therefor specified in such Security or Coupon (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date or, in the case of repayment at the option of such Holder, on the Repayment Date) and to institute suit
for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. 
  
 In the case of Securities of a series issued to a SFD Trust, any holder of the corresponding series of Preferred Securities issued by such SFD Trust shall

amount of such Preferred Securities of the corresponding series held by such holder and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment (a “Direct Action”). Notwithstanding any payments made to a holder of such Preferred
Securities by the Company pursuant to a Direct Action initiated by such holder, the Company shall remain obligated to pay the principal of or interest due on the Securities, and the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the holder of such
Preferred Securities with respect to payments on the Preferred Securities to the extent of any payments made by the Company to such holder in any Direct Action. 
  

Section 509. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. 
  
 If the Trustee or any Holder of a Security or a Coupon has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under

determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and each such Holder shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities or Coupons in the last paragraph of Section 306, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to each and every Holder of a Security or a Coupon is
intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy, to the extent permitted by law, shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity
or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not, to the extent permitted by law, prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 
  
 Section 511. Delay or Omission not Waiver. 

 

 57 








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

 The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series and, in the case of any Preferred
Securities of a series issued to a SFD Trust, the holders of at least a majority in aggregate liquidation amount of the Preferred Securities issued by such SFD Trust, shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and any Coupons appertaining thereto, provided that 
  
 (1) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of
law or with this Indenture or with the Securities of any series, 
  
 (2) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction, 
  
 (3) such direction is not unduly prejudicial to the rights of the other Holders of Securities of such series not joining in such action,
and 
  
 (4) subject to the provisions of Section
601, 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 Officers of the Trustee, determine that the proceeding so directed would involve the Trustee in personal
liability. 
  
 Section 513. Waiver of Past
Defaults. 
  
 The Holders of not less than a
majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series and, in the case of any Preferred Securities of a series issued to a SFD Trust, the holders of at least a majority in aggregate liquidation amount of the Preferred Securities
issued by such SFD Trust, on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series and any Coupons appertaining thereto or, in the case of a waiver by holders of at least a majority in aggregate liquidation amount of the Preferred Securities
issued by such SFD Trust, on behalf of all holders of Preferred Securities issued by such SFD Trust, may waive any past default hereunder with respect to such series and its consequences, except a default 
  
 (1) in the payment of the principal of, any premium or
interest on, or any Additional Amounts with respect to, any Security of such series or any Coupons appertaining thereto, or 
  
 (2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article Nine cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder
of each Outstanding Security of such series affected. 
  

 58 








 Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall
be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
  
 Section 514. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. 
  
 The Company covenants that (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) it
will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance
of this Indenture; and the Company expressly waives (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee,
but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. 
  
 Section 515. Undertaking for Costs. 
  
 All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any 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 or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of any 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 515 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 Outstanding Securities of any series, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on or Additional Amounts, if any, with respect to any Security on or
after the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date, and, in the case of repayment, on or after the Repayment Date) or for the enforcement of the right, if any, to convert
or exchange any Security into Capital Stock or other securities in accordance with its terms.

specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. In case an Event of Default has occurred that has not been cured or waived, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and
powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use 
  

 59 








 the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the
circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs. 
  
 (b) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligence action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that: 
  
 (i) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and
after the curing or waiving of all such Events of Default that may have occurred: 
  
 (A) the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall with respect to the Securities be determined solely by the express provisions of this
Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to the Securities except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read in to this
Indenture against the Trustee, and 
  
 (B) in
the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may with respect to the Securities conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions
furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions that by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a
duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture 
  
 (ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the
Trustee, 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 or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the
direction of the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust
or power conferred upon the Trustee under this Indenture with respect to the Securities; and 
  
 The duties and responsibilities of the Trustee shall be as provided by the Trust Indenture Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds
or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity
against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be
subject to the provisions of this Section.

 If a default occurs hereunder with respect to Securities of any series and a
Responsible Officer has actual knowledge of such default, the Trustee shall give the Holders of Securities of such series notice of such default as and to the extent provided by the Trust Indenture Act, provided that in the case of any default of
the character specified in Section 501(4) with respect to Securities of such series, no such notice to Holders shall be given until at least 30 days after the occurrence thereof. For the purpose of this Section, the term “default” means
any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to Securities of such series.

 The Trustee, any
Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Security Registrar or any other Person that may be an agent of the Trustee or the Company, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities or Coupons and, subject to
Sections 310(b) and 311 of the Trust Indenture Act, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Security Registrar or such other Person. 
  
 Section 606. Money Held in Trust. 
  
 Except as provided in Section 403 and Section 1003, money held by the
Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law and shall be held uninvested. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise
agreed in writing with the Company. 
  
 Section 607.
Compensation and Reimbursement. 
  

 62 








 The Company agrees: 
  
 (1) to pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation as shall be agreed to in writing between the
Company and the Trustee for all services rendered by the Trustee hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust); 
  
 (2) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to pay or
reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and
disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to the Trustee’s negligence or bad faith; and 
  
 (3) to indemnify the Trustee (and its officers, directors and employees) and its agents for, and to hold
them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on their part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this Indenture, including the costs and expenses of defending
themselves against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of their powers or duties hereunder, except to the extent that any such loss, liability or expense was due to the Trustee’s negligence or bad faith.

 Without limiting any rights available to the Trustee under applicable law, any compensation or expense incurred by the Trustee after a default specified
by Section 501(5) or (6) is intended to constitute an expense of administration under any then applicable bankruptcy or insolvency law. “Trustee” for purposes of this Section 607 shall include any predecessor Trustee but the negligence or
bad faith of any Trustee shall not affect the rights of any other Trustee under this Section 607. 
  
 Section 608. Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility. 
  
 There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a Corporation, organized and doing business under the laws of the
United States of America, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, eligible under Section 310(a)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act to act as trustee under an indenture qualified under the Trust Indenture Act and that has a combined capital and
surplus (computed in accordance with Section 310(a)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act) of at least $50,000,000 subject to supervision or examination by Federal or state authority. 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 609. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor. 
  

 63 








 (1) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this
Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee pursuant to Section 610. 
  
 (2) The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If the
instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 610 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 such series. 
  
 (3) The Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the Securities of any series by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, delivered to the Trustee

 (4) If at any time: 
  
 (a) the Trustee shall fail to comply with the obligations
imposed upon it under Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act (subject to the penultimate paragraph thereof) with respect to Securities of any series after written request therefor by the Company or any Holder of a Security of such series who has
been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months, or 
  
 (b) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 608 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or any
such Holder, or

incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of
rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, 
  
 then, in any such case, (i) the
Company, by or pursuant to a Company Resolution, may remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities or the Securities of such series, or (ii) subject to Section 315(e) of the Trust Indenture Act, any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide
Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all Securities of such series and
the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees. 
  
 (5) If the
Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, with respect to the Securities of one or more series, the Company, by or pursuant to a Company Resolution, shall
promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series and
that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any particular series) and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 610. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the
occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Company and the
retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee 
  

 64 








 so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of
Section 610, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall have been
so appointed by the Company or the Holders of Securities and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 610, any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of
himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series. 
  
 (6) The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any
series and each appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series by mailing written notice of such event by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the Holders of Registered Securities, if any, of such series as their
names and addresses appear in the Security Register and, if Securities of such series are issued as Bearer Securities, by publishing notice of such event once in an Authorized Newspaper in each Place of Payment located outside the United States.
Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and the address of its Corporate Trust Office. 
  
 Section 610. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. 
  
 (1) Upon the appointment hereunder of any successor Trustee with respect to all Securities, such successor Trustee so
appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee,
without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties hereunder of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company or such successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee, upon payment of
its charges, shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and, subject to Section 1003, shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all
property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder, subject nevertheless to its lien, if any, provided for in Section 607. 
  
 (2) Upon the appointment hereunder of any successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring
Trustee and such successor Trustee shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (1) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and
confirm to, and to vest in, such successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (2) if the
retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities
of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and (3) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate
the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing 
  

 65 








 herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust, that each such
Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee and that no Trustee shall be responsible for any notice given to, or received by, or any act or
failure to act on the part of any other Trustee hereunder, and, upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein, such retiring
Trustee shall have no further responsibility for the exercise of rights and powers or for the performance of the duties and obligations vested in the Trustee under this Indenture with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the
appointment of such successor Trustee relates other than as hereinafter expressly set forth, 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 with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the Company or such successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee, upon payment of its charges with respect to
the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor relates and subject to Section 1003 shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee, to the extent contemplated by such supplemental indenture, the
property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, subject to its lien, if any, provided for in Section 607. 
  
 (3) Upon request of any Person appointed hereunder as a successor Trustee,
the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in paragraph (1) or (2) of this Section, as the case may be.

  
 (4) No Person shall accept its appointment hereunder as a
successor Trustee unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Person shall be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act and eligible under this Article. 
  

Section 611. 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, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated but not delivered by the Trustee then in
office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such
Securities. 
  
 Section 612. Appointment of Authenticating
Agent. 
  
 The Trustee may appoint one or more
Authenticating Agents acceptable to the Company with respect to one or more series of Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of that or those series issued upon original issue, exchange,

  

 66 








 registration of transfer, partial redemption or partial repayment, or pursuant to Section 306, and Securities so
authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of
Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on
behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. 
  
 Each
Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and, except as provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, shall at all times be a corporation that would be permitted by the Trust Indenture Act to act as trustee under an indenture qualified
under the Trust Indenture Act, is authorized under applicable law and by its charter to act as an Authenticating Agent and has a combined capital and surplus (computed in accordance with Section 310(a)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act) of at least
$50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority,
then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an
Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section. 
  
 Any Corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any
Corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any Corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an
Authenticating Agent, shall be the successor of such Authenticating Agent hereunder, provided such Corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee
or the Authenticating Agent. 
  
 An Authenticating Agent may
resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and the Company. Upon
receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating
Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall (i) mail written notice of such appointment by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to all Holders of Registered Securities, if any, of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent
shall serve, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register, and (ii) if Securities of the series are issued as Bearer Securities, publish notice of such appointment at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in the place where such
successor Authenticating Agent has its principal office if such office is located outside the United States. Any successor Authenticating Agent, upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder, shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties
of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section. 
  

 67 








 The Company agrees to pay each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its
services under this Section. If the Trustee makes such payments, it shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments, subject to the provisions of Section 607. 
  
 The provisions of Sections 309, 604 and 605 shall be applicable to each Authenticating Agent. 
  
 If an Authenticating Agent is appointed with respect to one or more series of
Securities pursuant to this Section, the Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in addition to or in lieu of the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication in substantially the following
form: 
  
 This is one of the Securities of the
series designated therein referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture. 
  

	 [Date]
	 	 	 	

	 	 	 	 	 	 	As Trustee
					
	 	 	 	 	 	 	 By
	 	  


	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 As Authenticating Agent

					
	 	 	 	 	 	 	 By
	 	  


	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 Authorized Signatory


  
 If all of the
Securities of any series may not be originally issued at one time, and if the Trustee does not have an office capable of authenticating Securities upon original issuance located in a Place of Payment where the Company wishes to have Securities of
such series authenticated upon original issuance, the Trustee, if so requested in writing (which writing need not be accompanied by or contained in an Officers’ Certificate by the Company), shall appoint in accordance with this Section and such
procedures as shall be acceptable to the Trustee an Authenticating Agent having an office in a Place of Payment designated by the Company with respect to such series of Securities. 
  
 Section 613. Conflicting Interests. 
  
 If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall
either eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture. To the extent permitted by such Act, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have a
conflicting interest by virtue of being a trustee under this Indenture with respect to Securities of more than one series. 
  
 Section 614. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company. 
  
 If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities), the Trustee
shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the Company (or any such other obligor).

this Indenture, the Securities and the Coupons and may be dissolved and liquidated.

 (6) to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision herein which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision herein, or to
make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Indenture; provided, that, no such action shall adversely affect the interests of the Holders of Securities of any series then Outstanding or any Coupons appertaining
thereto in any material respect or, in the case of the Securities of a series issued to a SFD Trust and for so long as any of the corresponding series of Preferred Securities issued by such SFD Trust shall remain outstanding, the holders of such

 72 








 does not apply to any Outstanding Security issued prior to the date of such supplemental indenture and
entitled to the benefits of such provision. 
  
 Section 902.
Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Holders. 
  
 With the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of each series affected by such supplemental indenture, by Act of said Holders delivered to the Company and the Trustee, the
Company (when authorized by or pursuant to a Company 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 the Securities of such series or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series under this Indenture; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture, without the consent
of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby, shall 
  
 (1) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any premium or installment of interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to, any Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof or the rate (or modify
the calculation of such rate) of interest thereon or any Additional Amounts with respect thereto, or any premium payable upon the redemption or repayment thereof or otherwise, or change the obligation of the Company to pay Additional Amounts
pursuant to Section 1004, or reduce the amount of the principal of an Original Issue Discount Security that would be due and payable upon a declaration of acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 502 or the amount thereof provable in
bankruptcy pursuant to Section 504, adversely affect the right of repayment at the option of any Holder as contemplated by Article Thirteen, or change the Place of Payment, Currency in which the principal of, any premium or interest on, or any
Additional Amounts with respect to any Security is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the Stated Maturity thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date or, in
the case of repayment at the option of the Holder, on or after the Repayment Date), or 
  
 (2) reduce the percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, the consent of whose Holders is required for
any such supplemental indenture, or the consent of whose Holders is required for any waiver of certain defaults hereunder and their consequences provided for in this Indenture, or reduce the requirements of Section 1604 for quorum or voting, or

  
 (3) modify any of the provisions of this
Section or Section 513, 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 Security affected thereby; provided,

 (4) modify the provisions of Article XIV with respect to the subordination of outstanding Securities of any series in a manner adverse to the holders thereof without the 
  

 73 








 consent of the holder of each Security so affected; provided, however, that, in the case of the
Securities of a series issued to a SFD Trust, so long as any of the corresponding series of Preferred Securities issued by such SFD Trust remains outstanding, (i) no such amendment shall be made that adversely affects the holders of such Preferred
Securities in any material respect, and no termination of this Indenture shall occur, and no waiver of any Event of Default with respect to such series or compliance with any covenant with respect to such series under this Indenture shall be
effective, without the prior consent of the holders of at least a majority of the aggregate liquidation amount of such Preferred Securities then outstanding unless and until the principal (and premium, if any) of the Securities of such series and
all accrued and unpaid interest (including any Additional Interest) thereon have been paid in full; and (ii) no amendment shall be made to Section 508 of this Indenture that would impair the rights of the holders of such Preferred Securities
provided therein or to this Indenture that requires the consent of each holder of the Securities of such series without the prior consent of each holder of such Preferred Securities then outstanding unless and until the principal (and premium, if
any) of the Securities of such series and all accrued and unpaid interest (including any Additional Interest) thereon have been paid in full. 
  
 (5) make any change that adversely affects the right to convert or exchange any Security for Capital Stock or other securities in
accordance with its terms. 
  
 A supplemental indenture which
changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Indenture which shall have been included expressly and solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Securities, or which modifies the rights of the Holders of 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 Securities of any other series. 
  
 It shall not be necessary for any Act of Holders of Securities 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.

that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture which affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or
immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. 
  
 Section 904.
Effect of Supplemental Indentures. 
  
 Upon the
execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article, 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 a Security or holder of a
Preferred Security 
  

 74 








 theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder and of any Coupon appertaining thereto shall be bound
thereby.

authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Securities of such series. 
  
 Section 906. Conformity with Trust Indenture Act. 
  
 Every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article shall conform to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act
as then in effect. 
  
 ARTICLE X. 
  
 COVENANTS 
  
 Section 1001. Payment of Principal, Any Premium, Interest and Additional Amounts. 
  
 The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Holders of the
Securities of each series that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of, any premium and interest (including any Additional Interest) on and any Additional Amounts with respect to the Securities of such series in accordance with the terms
thereof, any Coupons appertaining thereto and this Indenture. Any interest due on any Bearer Security on or before the Maturity thereof, and any Additional Amounts payable with respect to such interest, shall be payable only upon presentation and
surrender of the Coupons appertaining thereto for such interest as they severally mature. 
  
 Section 1002. Maintenance of Office or Agency. 
  
 The Company shall maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of Securities an Office or Agency where Securities of such series (but not Bearer
Securities, except as otherwise provided below, unless such Place of Payment is located outside the United States) may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Securities of such series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange, where Securities of such series that are convertible or exchangeable may be surrendered for conversion or exchange, and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of such series relating thereto and this
Indenture may be served. If Securities of a series are issuable as Bearer Securities, the Company shall maintain, subject to any laws or regulations applicable thereto, an Office or Agency in a Place of Payment for such series which is located
outside the United States where Securities of such series and any Coupons appertaining thereto may be presented and surrendered for payment; provided, however, that if the Securities of such series are listed on The Stock 
  

 75 








 Exchange of the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland or the Luxembourg Stock Exchange or any other stock exchange
located outside the United States and such stock exchange shall so require, the Company shall maintain a Paying Agent in London, Luxembourg or any other required city located outside the United States, as the case may be, so long as the Securities
of such series are listed on such exchange. 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, except that Bearer Securities of such series and
any Coupons appertaining thereto may be presented and surrendered for payment at the place specified for the purpose with respect to such Securities as provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its
agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands. 
  
 Except as otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, no payment of principal, premium, interest or Additional Amounts with respect to Bearer Securities shall be made at any Office or Agency in the United
States or by check mailed to any address in the United States or by transfer to an account maintained with a bank located in the United States; provided, however, if amounts owing with respect to any Bearer Securities shall be payable in Dollars,
payment of principal of, any premium or interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to any such Security may be made at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or any Office or Agency designated by the Company in Atlanta, Georgia, if (but
only if) payment of the full amount of such principal, premium, interest or Additional Amounts at all offices outside the United States maintained for such purpose by the Company in accordance with this Indenture is illegal or effectively precluded
by exchange controls or other similar restrictions. 
  
 The
Company may also from time to time designate one or more other Offices or Agencies where the Securities of one or more series may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided,
however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an Office or Agency in each Place of Payment for Securities of any series for such purposes. The Company shall give prompt written
notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other Office or Agency. Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, the Company hereby designates as the Place of Payment for
each series of Securities Atlanta, Georgia, and initially appoints the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as the Company’s Office or Agency in Atlanta, Georgia for such purpose. The Company may subsequently appoint a different Office or
Agency in Atlanta, Georgia or the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York for the Securities of any series. 
  
 Section 1003. Money for Securities Payments to be Held in Trust. 
  
 If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect to any series of Securities, it shall, on or
before each due date of the principal of, any premium or interest on or Additional Amounts with respect to any of the Securities of such series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum in the Currency or
Currencies in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series) sufficient to pay the principal or any premium, interest or 
  

 76 








 Additional Amounts so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein
provided, and shall promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. 
  
 Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of Securities, it shall, on or prior to each due date of the principal of, any premium or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to
any Securities of such series, deposit with any Paying Agent a sum (in the Currency or Currencies described in the preceding paragraph) sufficient to pay the principal or any premium, interest or Additional Amounts so becoming due, such sum to be
held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. 
  
 The Company shall cause each Paying Agent for any series of Securities other
than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent shall: 
  
 (1) hold all sums held by it for the payment of the
principal of, any premium or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to 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 provided
in or pursuant to this Indenture; 
  
 (2) give
the Trustee notice of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities of such series) in the making of any payment of principal, any premium or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to the Securities of such series;
and 
  
 (3) at any time during the continuance of
any such default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent. 
  
 The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company
Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same terms as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such Paying Agent;
and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such sums. 
  
 Except as otherwise provided herein or pursuant hereto, any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust
for the payment of the principal of, any premium or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to any Security of any series or any Coupon appertaining thereto and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal or any such premium or
interest or any such Additional Amounts shall have become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security or any Coupon
appertaining thereto 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; 
  

 77 








 provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the
expense of the Company cause to be published once, in an Authorized Newspaper in each Place of Payment for such series or to be mailed to Holders of Registered Securities of such series, or both, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that,
after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication or mailing nor shall it be later than two years after such principal and any premium or interest or Additional Amounts shall have become due and
payable, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company. 
  
 Section 1004. Additional Amounts. 
  
 In the case of the Securities of a series issued to a SFD Trust, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 or Article II, in the
event that (i) a SFD Trust is the holder of all of the Outstanding Securities of such series, (ii) a Tax Event in respect of such SFD Trust shall have occurred and be continuing and (iii) the Company shall not have (a) redeemed the Securities of
such series or (b) terminated such SFD Trust pursuant to the termination provisions of the related Trust Agreement, the Company shall pay to such SFD Trust (and any permitted successor or assign under the related Trust Agreement) for so long as such
SFD Trust (or its permitted successor or assignee) is the registered holder of any Securities of such series, such additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the amount of Distributions then due and payable by such SFD Trust on the related
Preferred Securities and Common Securities that at any time remain outstanding in accordance with the terms thereof shall not be reduced as a result of any Additional Amounts to which such SFD Trust has become subject. 
  
 If any Securities of a series provide for the payment of Additional Amounts,
the Company agrees to pay to the Holder of any such Security or any Coupon appertaining thereto Additional Amounts as provided in or pursuant to this Indenture or such Securities. Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the
payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on, or in respect of, any Security of any series or any Coupon or the net proceeds received on the sale or exchange of any Security of any series, such mention shall be deemed to include mention
of the payment of Additional Amounts provided by the terms of such series established hereby or pursuant hereto to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to such terms, and
express mention of the payment of Additional Amounts (if applicable) in any provision hereof shall not be construed as excluding Additional Amounts in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made. 
  
 Except as otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture or the
Securities of any series, if the Securities of a series provide for the payment of Additional Amounts, at least 10 days prior to the first Interest Payment Date with respect to such series of Securities (or if the Securities of such series shall not
bear interest prior to Maturity, the first day on which a payment of principal is made), and at least 10 days prior to each date of payment of principal or interest if there has been any change with respect to the matters set forth in the
below-mentioned Officers’ Certificate, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee and the principal Paying Agent or Paying Agents, if other than the Trustee, an Officers’ Certificate instructing the Trustee and such Paying Agent or Paying
Agents whether such payment of principal of and premium, if any, or 
  

 78 








 interest, if any, on the Securities of such series shall be made to Holders of Securities of such series or the Coupons
appertaining thereto who are United States Aliens without withholding for or on account of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge described in the Securities of such series. If any such withholding shall be required, then such
Officers’ Certificate shall specify by country the amount, if any, required to be withheld on such payments to such Holders of Securities or Coupons, and the Company agrees to pay to the Trustee or such Paying Agent the Additional Amounts
required by the terms of such Securities. The Company covenants to indemnify the Trustee and any Paying Agent for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense reasonably incurred without negligence or bad faith on their part
arising out of or in connection with actions taken or omitted by any of them in reliance on any Officers’ Certificate furnished pursuant to this Section. 
  

Section 1005. Existence. 
  
 Subject to Article Eight, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to maintain its existence and its rights and franchises; provided,
however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right or franchise if the Board of Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company, and that the loss
thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders. 
  
 Section 1006. Company Statement as to Compliance. 
  
 The Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, an Officers’ Certificate (which need not comply with Section 102), stating as to each signer, that 
  
 (1) a review of the activities of the Company during such
year and of performance under this Indenture has been made under his or her supervision; and 
  
 (2) to the best of his or her knowledge, based on such review, (a) the Company has fulfilled all its obligations under and complied with
all covenants and conditions contained in this Indenture throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such covenant, condition or obligation, specifying each such default known to him or her and the nature and
status thereof, and (b) no event has occurred and is continuing which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default under Section 501, or, if such an event has occurred and is continuing, specifying each such event
known to him or her and the nature and status thereof. 
  
 At
least one of the Person’s signing such Officers’ Certificate shall be the Company’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer. 
  
 Section 1007. Calculation of Original Issue Discount.

  
 The Company shall file with the Trustee promptly after
the end of each calendar year a written notice specifying the amount of original issue discount (including daily rates and accrual periods) accrued on Outstanding Securities, if any, as of the end of such year. 
  

 79 








 Section 1008. Additional Covenants. 
  
 The Company covenants and agrees with each holder of Securities of a series
issued to a SFD Trust that it shall not (i) declare or pay any dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase, acquire, or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any shares of the Company’s Capital Stock (which includes Common Stock
and preferred stock), or (ii) make any payment of principal of or interest or premium, if any, on or repay, repurchase or redeem any debt securities of the Company that rank on a parity with or junior to the Securities of such series or make any
guarantee payments with respect to any SFD Guarantee or other guarantee by the Company of debt securities of any Subsidiary that by its terms ranks on a parity with or junior to the Securities of such series (other than (a) dividends or
distributions in Common Stock; (b) any declaration of a dividend in connection with the implementation of a Rights Plan, the issuance of any Capital Stock of any class or series of preferred stock of the Company under any Rights Plan or the
redemption or repurchase of any rights distributed pursuant to a Rights Plan; (c) payments under any SFD Guarantee relating to the Preferred Securities issued by the SFD Trust holding the Securities of such series; and (d) purchases of Common Stock
related to the issuance of Common Stock or rights under any of the Company’s benefit plans for its directors, officers, employees, consultants or advisors) if at such time (i) there shall have occurred any event of which the Company has actual
knowledge that (a) with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default hereunder and (b) in respect of which the Company shall not have taken reasonable steps to cure, (ii) the Company shall be in default
with respect to its payment of any obligations under the related SFD Guarantee or (iii) the Company shall have given notice of its election to begin an Extension Period as provided in Section 307 and shall not have rescinded such notice, or such
Extension Period, or any extension thereof, shall be continuing. 
  
 The Company also covenants with each holder of Securities of a series issued to a SFD Trust (i) to maintain directly or indirectly 100% ownership of the Common Securities of such SFD Trust; provided, however, that any permitted successor or
assignee of the Company hereunder may succeed to the Company’s ownership of such Common Securities, (ii) not to voluntarily terminate, wind up or liquidate such SFD Trust, except (a) in connection with a prepayment in full of the Securities or
a distribution of the Securities of such series to the holders of Preferred Securities in liquidation of such SFD Trust or (b) in connection with certain mergers, consolidations or amalgamations permitted by the relevant Trust Agreement and (iii) to
use its reasonable efforts, consistent with the terms and provisions of such Trust Agreement, to cause such SFD Trust to remain classified as a grantor trust and not an association taxable as a corporation for United States federal income tax
purposes. 
  
 Section 1009. Waiver of
Covenants. The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any covenant or condition specifically contained in this Indenture for the benefit of one or more series of Securities, if before the time for such compliance
Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of each series affected by this Indenture shall waive such compliance in such instance, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such covenant or condition
except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such covenant or condition shall remain in full force and effect.

 ARTICLE XI. 
  
 REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES 
  
 Section 1101. Applicability of Article. 
  
 Redemption of Securities of any series at the option of the Company as permitted or required by the terms of such Securities shall be made in accordance
with the terms of such Securities and (except as otherwise provided herein or pursuant hereto) this Article. 
  
 Section 1102. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee. 
  
 The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by or pursuant to a Company Resolution. In case of
any redemption at the election of the Company of less than all of the Securities of any series, the Company shall, at least 60 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee),
notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date and of the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed and, in the event that the Company shall determine that the Securities of any series to be redeemed shall be selected from Securities
of such series having the same issue date, interest rate or interest rate formula, Stated Maturity and other terms (the “Equivalent Terms”), the Company shall notify the Trustee of such Equivalent Terms. In the case of any redemption of
Securities (a) prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture or (b) pursuant to an election of the Company which is subject to a condition specified in the terms
of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction or condition. 
  
 Section 1103. Selection by Trustee of Securities to be Redeemed. 
  
 If less than all of the Securities of any series are to be redeemed (unless
all of the Securities of any series with Equivalent Terms are to be redeemed) or if less than all of the Securities of any series with Equivalent Terms are to be redeemed, the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60
days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee from the Outstanding Securities of such series or from the Outstanding Securities of such series with Equivalent Terms, as the case may be, not previously called for redemption, by such method as the
Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption of portions of the principal amount of Registered Securities of such series; provided, however, that no such partial redemption shall reduce the portion
of the principal amount of a Registered Security of such series not redeemed to less than the minimum denomination for a Security of such series established herein or pursuant hereto. 
  
 The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company and the Security Registrar (if other than itself) in writing of the Securities
selected for redemption and, in the case of any Securities selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. 
  
 For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate, in the
case of any Securities redeemed or to 
  

 81 








 be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Securities which has been or is to be redeemed.

  
 Unless otherwise specified in or pursuant to this Indenture or
the Securities of any series, if any Security selected for partial redemption is converted or exchanged for Capital Stock or other securities in part before termination of the conversion or exchange right with respect to the portion of the Security
so selected, the converted or exchanged portion of such Security shall be deemed (so far as may be) to be the portion selected for redemption. Securities which have been converted or exchanged during a selection of Securities to be redeemed shall be
treated by the Trustee as Outstanding for the purpose of such selection. 
  
 Section 1104. Notice of Redemption. 
  
 Notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided in Section 106, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, unless a shorter period is specified in the Securities to be redeemed, to
the Holders of Securities to be redeemed. Failure to give notice by mailing in the manner herein provided to the Holder of any Registered Securities designated for redemption as a whole or in part, or any defect in the notice to any such Holder,
shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Securities or portion thereof. Any notice that is mailed to the Holder of any Registered Securities in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have
been duly given, whether or not such Holder receives the notice. 
  
 All notices of redemption shall state: 
  
 (1) the Redemption Date, 
  
 (2) the
Redemption Price, or if not then ascertainable, the manner of calculation thereof, 
  
 (3) if less than all Outstanding Securities of any series are to be redeemed (unless all of the Securities of any series with Equivalent
Terms are to be redeemed), the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the principal amount) of the particular Security or Securities to be redeemed, 
  
 (4) in case any Security is to be redeemed in part only, the notice which relates to such Security shall
state that on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Security, the Holder of such Security will receive, without charge, a new Security or Securities of authorized denominations for the principal amount thereof remaining unredeemed,

  
 (5) that, on the Redemption Date, the
Redemption Price shall become due and payable upon each such Security or portion thereof to be redeemed, and, if applicable, that interest thereon shall cease to accrue on and after said date, 
  
 (6) the place or places where such Securities, together (in
the case of Bearer Securities) with all Coupons appertaining thereto, if any, maturing after the Redemption 
  

 82 








 Date, are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price and any accrued interest and Additional
Amounts pertaining thereto, 
  
 (7) that the
redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case, 
  
 (8) that, unless otherwise specified in such notice, Bearer Securities of any series, if any, surrendered for redemption must be accompanied by all Coupons maturing subsequent to the date fixed for redemption or the amount of any such
missing Coupon or Coupons will be deducted from the Redemption Price, unless security or indemnity satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee and any Paying Agent is furnished, 
  
 (9) if Bearer Securities of any series are to be redeemed and any Registered Securities of such series are
not to be redeemed, and if such Bearer Securities may be exchanged for Registered Securities not subject to redemption on the Redemption Date pursuant to Section 305 or otherwise, the last date, as determined by the Company, on which such exchanges
may be made, 
  
 (10) in the case of Securities
of any series that are convertible or exchangeable into Capital Stock or other securities, the conversion or exchange price or rate, the date or dates on which the right to convert or exchange the principal of the Securities of such series to be
redeemed will commence or terminate and the place or places where such Securities may be surrendered for conversion or exchange, and 
  
 (11) the CUSIP number or the Euroclear or the Cedel reference numbers of such Securities, if any (or any other numbers used by a U.S.
Depositary or Depositary to identify such Securities). 
  
 A
notice of redemption published as contemplated by Section 106 need not identify particular Registered Securities to be redeemed. 
  
 Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Securities in accordance with Section 301, with respect to any redemption of Securities at the election of
the Company, unless, upon the giving of notice of such redemption, defeasance shall have been effected with respect to such Securities pursuant to Section 402, such notice may state that such redemption shall be conditional upon the receipt by the
Trustee or the Paying Agent(s) for such Securities, on or prior to the date fixed for such redemption, of money sufficient to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on such Securities and that if such money shall not have been so received
such notice shall be of no force or effect and the Company shall not be required to redeem such Securities. In the event that such notice of redemption contains such a condition and such money is not so received, the redemption shall not be made and
within a reasonable time thereafter notice shall be given, in the manner in which the notice of redemption was given, that such money was not so received and such redemption was not required to be made, and the Trustee or Paying Agent(s) for the
Securities otherwise to have been redeemed shall promptly return to the Holders thereof any of such Securities which had been surrendered for payment upon such redemption. 
  

 83 








 Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Company shall be given by the
Company or, on Company Request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company. 
  
 The Company shall give the Trustee notice of the amount of any Redemption Price that is subject to calculation, promptly after the calculation thereof. 
  
 Section 1105. Deposit of Redemption Price. 
  
 On or prior to any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit, with respect
to the Securities of any series called for redemption pursuant to Section 1104, with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount of
money in the applicable Currency sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date, unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for or in the Securities of such series) any accrued
interest on and Additional Amounts with respect thereto, all such Securities or portions thereof which are to be redeemed on that date. 
  
 Section 1106. Securities Payable on Redemption Date. 
  
 Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become
due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, subject to the fourth paragraph of Section 1104, and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest) such Securities
shall cease to bear interest and the Coupons for such interest appertaining to any Bearer Securities so to be redeemed, except to the extent provided below, shall be void. Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in accordance with said
notice, together with all Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto maturing after the Redemption Date, such Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with any accrued interest, Additional Interest and Additional Amounts to
the Redemption Date; provided, however, that, except as otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture or the Bearer Securities of such series, installments of interest on Bearer Securities whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption
Date shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of Coupons for such interest (at an Office or Agency located outside the United States except as otherwise provided in Section 1002), and provided, further, that, except as otherwise
specified in or pursuant to this Indenture or the Registered Securities of such series, installments of interest on Registered Securities whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities,
or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the Regular Record Dates therefor according to their terms and the provisions of Section 308. 
  
 If any Bearer Security surrendered for redemption shall not be accompanied by all appurtenant Coupons maturing after the
Redemption Date, such Security may be paid after deducting from the Redemption Price an amount equal to the face amount of all such missing Coupons, or the surrender of such missing Coupon or Coupons may be waived by the Company and the Trustee if
there be furnished to them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them and any Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder of such Security shall 
  

 84 








 surrender to the Trustee or any Paying Agent any such missing Coupon in respect of which a deduction shall have been made
from the Redemption Price, such Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount so deducted; provided, however, that any interest or Additional Amounts represented by Coupons shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of those Coupons at
an Office or Agency for such Security located outside of the United States except as otherwise provided in Section 1002. 
  
 If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal and any premium, until paid, shall bear
interest from the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed therefor in the Security. 
  
 Section 1107. Securities Redeemed in Part. 
  
 Any Registered Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at any Office or Agency for such Security (with, if the Company or the
Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing) and the Company shall execute and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Registered Security or Securities of the same series, containing identical terms and provisions, of any authorized denomination as requested by such
Holder in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered. If a Security in global form is so surrendered, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver to the U.S. Depositary or other Depositary for such Security in global form as shall be specified in the Company Order with respect thereto to the Trustee, without service charge, a new Security in global form in a denomination equal to
and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security in global form so surrendered. 
  
 ARTICLE XII. 
  
 SINKING FUNDS 
  
 Section 1201.
Applicability of Article. 
  
 The provisions of
this Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of a series, except as otherwise permitted or required in or pursuant to this Indenture or any Security of such series issued pursuant to this Indenture.

  
 The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by
the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as a “mandatory sinking fund payment”, and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of Securities of such series is herein referred to as an
“optional sinking fund payment”. If provided for by the terms of Securities of any series, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 1202. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to
the redemption of Securities of any series as provided for by the terms of Securities of such series and this Indenture. 
  
 Section 1202. Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities. 
  

 85 








 The Company may, in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to the
Securities of any series to be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities (1) deliver Outstanding Securities of such series (other than any of such Securities previously called for redemption or any of such Securities in respect of which cash
shall have been released to the Company), together in the case of any Bearer Securities of such series with all unmatured Coupons appertaining thereto, and (2) apply as a credit Securities of such series which have been redeemed either at the
election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such series of Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Securities, provided that such Securities have not been previously so
credited. Such Securities shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the Redemption Price specified in such Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be
reduced accordingly. If as a result of the delivery or credit of Securities of any series in lieu of cash payments pursuant to this Section 1202, the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed in order to exhaust the aforesaid cash
payment shall be less than $100,000, the Trustee need not call Securities of such series for redemption, except upon Company Request, and such cash payment shall be held by the Trustee or a Paying Agent and applied to the next succeeding sinking
fund payment, provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall at the request of the Company from time to time pay over and deliver to the Company any cash payment so being held by the Trustee or such Paying Agent upon delivery by the
Company to the Trustee of Securities of that series purchased by the Company having an unpaid principal amount equal to the cash payment requested to be released to the Company. 
  
 Section 1203. Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund. 
  
 Not less than 75 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any series
of Securities, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment for that series pursuant to the terms of that series, the portion thereof, if any, which
is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting of Securities of that series pursuant to Section 1202, the basis for such credit, that such Securities have not been
previously so credited and the optional amount, if any, to be added in cash to the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, and will also deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so credited and not theretofore delivered. If such
Officers’ Certificate shall specify an optional amount to be added in cash to the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, the Company shall thereupon be obligated to pay the amount therein specified. Not less than 45 days before each such
sinking fund payment date the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 1103 and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of
the Company in the manner provided in Section 1104. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 1106 and 1107. 
  
 ARTICLE XIII. 
  
 REPAYMENT AT THE OPTION OF HOLDERS 
  
 Section 1301. Applicability of Article. 
  

 86 








 Repayment of Securities of any series before their Stated Maturity at the option of Holders thereof shall
be made in accordance with the terms of such Securities and (except as otherwise specified by the terms of such series established pursuant to Section 301) in accordance with this Article. 
  
 Section 1302. Repayment of Securities. 
  
 Securities of any series subject to repayment in whole or in part at the
option of the Holders thereof will, unless otherwise provided in the terms of such Securities, be repaid at a price equal to the principal amount thereof, together with interest, if any, thereon accrued to the Repayment Date specified in or pursuant
to the terms of such Securities. The Company covenants that on or before the Repayment Date it will deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in
Section 1003) an amount of money sufficient to pay the principal (or, if so provided by the terms of the Securities of any series, a percentage of the principal) of, and (except if the Repayment Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued
interest on, all the Securities or portions thereof, as the case may be, to be repaid on such date. 
  
 Section 1303. Exercise of Option. 
  
 Securities of any series subject to repayment at the option of the Holders thereof will contain an “Option to Elect Repayment” form on such
Securities. In order for any Security to be repaid at the option of the Holder, the Trustee must receive at the Place of Payment therefor specified in the terms of such Security (or at such other place or places of which the Company shall from time
to time notify the Holders of such Securities) not earlier than 60 days nor later than 30 days prior to the Repayment Date (1) the Security so providing for such repayment together with the “Option to Elect Repayment” form duly completed
by the Holder (or by the Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing) or (2) a facsimile transmission or a letter from a member of a national securities exchange, or the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (“NASD”), or a
commercial bank or trust company in the United States setting forth the name of the Holder of Security, the principal amount of the Security, the amount of the Security to be repaid, the certificate number or a description of the tenor and terms of
the Security, a statement that the option to elect repayment is being exercised thereby and a guarantee that the Security to be repaid, together with the duly completed form entitled “Option to Elect Repayment”, will be received by the
Trustee not later than the fifth Business Day after the date of such facsimile transmission or letter; provided, however, that such facsimile transmission or letter shall only be effective if such Security and form duly completed are received by the
Trustee by such fifth Business Day. If less than the entire principal amount of such Security is to be repaid in accordance with the terms of such Security, the principal amount of such Security to be repaid, in increments of the minimum
denomination for Securities of such series, and the denomination or denominations of the Security or Securities to be issued to the Holder for the portion of the principal amount of such Security surrendered that is not to be repaid, must be
specified. The principal amount of any Security providing for repayment at the option of the Holder thereof may not be repaid in part if, following such repayment, the unpaid principal amount of such Security would be less than the minimum
authorized denomination of Securities of the series of which such Security to be repaid is a part. Except as otherwise may be provided by the terms of 
  

 87 








 any Security providing for repayment at the option of the Holder thereof, exercise of the repayment option by the Holder
shall be irrevocable unless waived by the Company. 
  
 Section
1304. When Securities Presented for Repayment Become Due and Payable. 
  
 If the Securities of any series providing for repayment at the option of the Holders thereof shall have been surrendered as provided in this Article and as provided by or pursuant to the terms of such Securities, such
Securities or the portions thereof, as the case may be, to be repaid shall become due and payable and shall be paid by the Company on the Repayment Date therein specified, and on and after such Repayment Date (unless the Company shall default in the
payment of such Securities on such Repayment Date) such Securities so to be repaid shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Security for repayment in accordance with such provisions, the principal amount of such Security so to be
repaid shall be paid by the Company, together with accrued interest, if any, to the Repayment Date; provided that, installments of interest, if any, whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Repayment Date shall be payable (but without interest
thereon, unless the Company shall default in the payment thereof) to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates according to their terms and the
provisions of Section 308. 
  
 If the principal amount of any
Security surrendered for repayment shall not be so repaid upon surrender thereof, such principal amount (together with interest, if any, thereon accrued to such Repayment Date) shall, until paid, bear interest from the Repayment Date at the rate of
interest set forth in such Security. 
  
 Section 1305.
Securities Repaid in Part. 
  
 Upon surrender
of any Registered Security which is to be repaid in part only (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by,
the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing), the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security, without service charge and at the expense of the Company, a new Registered
Security or Securities of the same series, Stated Maturity and original issue date of any authorized denomination specified by the Holder, in an aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the portion of the principal of such Security so
surrendered which is not to be repaid. 
  
 Section 1306.
Compliance with Exchange Act. 
  
 In connection
with any repayment of Securities pursuant to this Article, the Company will comply with the provisions of Rule 13e-4, Rule 14e-1 and any other tender offer rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, if required, and will file Schedule 13E-4 or
any other schedule, if required. 
  
 ARTICLE XIV.

  
 SUBORDINATION OF SECURITIES 
  
 Section 1401. Agreement to Subordinate. 
  

 88 








 The Company, for itself, its successors and assigns, covenants and agrees, and each holder of a Security
of any series likewise covenants and agrees by his acceptance thereof, that the obligation of the Company to make any payment on account of the principal of and interest on each and all of the Securities of any series shall be subordinate and junior
in right of payment to the Company’s obligations to the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company. 
  
 In the case of any insolvency, receivership, conservatorship, reorganization, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar
proceedings or any liquidation or winding-up of or relating to the Company as a whole, whether voluntary or involuntary, all obligations of the Company to holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company shall be entitled to be paid in full before any
payment shall be made on account of the principal of or interest on any of the Securities. In the event of any such proceeding, after payment in full of all sums owing with respect to Senior Indebtedness of the Company, the holders of the Securities
of each series, together with the holders of any obligations of the Company ranking on a parity with the Securities, shall be entitled to be paid from the remaining assets of the Company the amounts at the time due and owing on account of unpaid
principal of and interest on the Securities of any series before any payment or other distribution, whether in cash, property or otherwise, shall be made on account of any capital stock or any obligations of the Company ranking junior to the
Securities. In addition, in the event of any such proceeding, if any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character whether in cash, property or securities, including any such payment or distribution which may be payable
or deliverable by reason of the payment of any other indebtedness of the Company being subordinated to the payment of the Securities of any series shall be received by the Trustee or the holders of the Securities of any series before all Senior
Indebtedness of the Company is paid in full, such payment or distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of and shall be paid over to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness of the Company or their representative or representatives or to the
trustee or trustees under any indenture under which any instruments evidencing any of such Senior Indebtedness of the Company may have been issued, ratably, for application to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness of the Company remaining unpaid
until all such Senior Indebtedness of the Company shall have been paid in full, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness of the Company. The obligations of the Company in respect of the
Securities of all series shall rank on a parity with any obligations of the Company ranking on a parity with the Securities. Nothing in this Article shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 614. 

 
 The subordination provisions of the foregoing paragraph and Section 1409
shall not be applicable to amounts at the time due and owing on the Securities of any series on account of the unpaid principal of or interest on the Securities of such series for the payment of which funds have been deposited in trust with the
Trustee or any Paying Agent or have been set aside by the Company in trust in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture; nor shall such provisions impair any rights, interests, or powers of any secured creditor of the Company in respect of
any security the creation of which is not prohibited by the provisions of this Indenture. 
  
 The Company shall give written notice to the Trustee within 10 Business Days after the occurrence of (i) any insolvency, receivership, conservatorship, reorganization, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and
liabilities or similar proceedings or any liquidation or winding-up of or relating to the Company as a whole, whether voluntary or involuntary, (ii) any Event of 
  

 89 








 Default described in Sections 501(5) or (6), or (iii) any event specified in Section 1409. The Trustee, subject to the
provisions of Article VI, shall be entitled to assume that, and may act as if, no such event referred to in the preceding sentence has occurred unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee assigned to the Trustee’s corporate trust department has
received at the principal office of the Trustee from the Company or any one or more holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company or any trustee or representative therefor (who shall have been certified or otherwise established to the satisfaction
of the Trustee to be such a holder or trustee or representative) written notice thereof. Upon any distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article, the Trustee and holders of the Securities of each series shall be entitled to rely
upon any order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in which proceedings relating to any event specified in the first sentence of this paragraph are pending for the purpose of ascertaining the persons entitled to participate in such
distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon, and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article, and the Trustee, subject to the
provisions of Article VI, and the holders of the Securities of each series shall be entitled to rely upon a certificate of the liquidating trustee or agent or other person making any distribution to the Trustee or to the holders of the Securities of
each series for the purpose of ascertaining the persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and
all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article. In the absence of any such liquidating trustee, agent or other person, the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon a written notice by a Person representing himself to be a holder of
Senior Indebtedness of the Company (or a trustee or representative on behalf of such holder) as evidence that such Person is a holder of such Senior Indebtedness of the Company and the Trustee shall incur no liability in reliance upon such written
notice (or is such a trustee or representative). In the event that the Trustee determines, in good faith, that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person, as a holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Company, to participate in
any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of such Senior Indebtedness of the Company held by such Person, as to the
extent to which such Person is entitled to participation in such payment or distribution, and as to other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article, and if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment to
such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment. 
  
 Section 1402. Obligation of the Company Unconditional. 
  
 Nothing contained in this Article or elsewhere in this Indenture is intended to or shall impair, as between the Company and
the holders of the Securities of each series, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to such holders the principal of and interest on such Securities of each series when, where and as the same shall become due and
payable, all in accordance with the terms of such Securities, or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights of such holders and creditors of the Company other than the holders of the Senior Indebtedness of the Company, nor shall anything
herein or therein prevent the Trustee or the holder of any Security from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article of the holders of Senior
Indebtedness of the Company in respect of cash, property, or securities of the Company received upon the exercise of any such remedy. 
  

 90 








 Section 1403. Limitations on Duties to Holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company.

  
 With respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the
Company, the Trustee undertakes to perform or to observe only such of its covenants and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Article, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the
Company shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company. 
  
 Section 1404. Notice to Trustee of Facts Prohibiting Payment. 
  
 Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Article or any other
provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not at any time be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts which would prohibit the making of any payment of moneys to or by the Trustee unless and until a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee assigned to its corporate trust department shall have received at the principal office of the Trustee written notice thereof from the Company or from one or more holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company or from any trustee therefor or
representative thereof who shall have been certified by the Company or otherwise established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee to be such a holder or trustee or representative; and, prior to the receipt of any such written notice, the
Trustee, subject to the provisions of Article VII, shall be entitled in all respects to assume that no such facts exist; provided, however, that, if prior to the fifth Business Day preceding the date upon which by the terms hereof any such moneys
may become payable for any purpose, or in the event of the execution of an instrument pursuant to Section 401 acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, then if prior to the second Business Day preceding the date of such execution,
the Trustee shall not have received with respect to such moneys the notice provided for in this Section, then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such moneys and/or
apply the same to the purpose for which they were received, and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary which may be received by it on or after such date; provided, however, no such application shall affect the obligations under this
Article of the Persons receiving such moneys from the Trustee. 
  
 Section 1405. Application by Trustee of Moneys Deposited with It. 
  
 Anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, any deposit of moneys by the Company with the Trustee or any agent (whether or not in trust)
for any payment of the principal of or interest on any Securities shall, except as provided in Section 1404, be subject to the provisions of Section 1401. 
  
 Section 1406. Subrogation. 
  
 Subject to the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness of the Company, the holders of the Securities of each series shall be subrogated to the rights
of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness of the Company to receive payments or distributions of assets of the Company applicable to such Senior Indebtedness of the Company until the Securities shall be paid in full, and none of the payments or
distributions to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness of the 
  

 91 








 Company to which the holders of the Securities of any series or the Trustee would be entitled except for the provisions
of this Article or of payments over pursuant to the provisions of this Article to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness of the Company by the holders of such Securities or the Trustee shall, as among the Company, its creditors other than the
holders of such Senior Indebtedness of the Company, and the holders of such Securities, be deemed to be a payment by the Company to or on account of such Senior Indebtedness of the Company; it being understood that the provisions of this Article are
and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the holders of such Securities, on the one hand, and the holders of the Senior Indebtedness of the Company, on the other hand. 
  
 Section 1407. Subordination Rights Not Impaired by Acts or Omissions of
Company or Holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company. 
  
 No right of any present or future holders of any Senior Indebtedness of the Company to enforce subordination as herein provided shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on
the part of the Company or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder, or by any noncompliance by the Company with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof with which any such
holder may have or be otherwise charged. The holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company may, at any time or from time to time and in their absolute discretion, change the manner, place or terms of payment, change or extend the time of payment of,
or renew or alter, any such Senior Indebtedness of the Company, or amend or supplement any instrument pursuant to which any such Senior Indebtedness of the Company is issued or by which it may be secured, or release any security therefor, or
exercise or refrain from exercising any other of their rights under the Senior Indebtedness of the Company including, without limitation, the waiver of default thereunder, all without notice to or assent from the holders of the Securities of each
series or the Trustee and without affecting the obligations of the Company, the Trustee or the holders of such Securities under this Article. 
  
 Section 1408. Authorization of Trustee to Effectuate Subordination of Securities. 
  
 Each holder of a Security of any series, by his acceptance thereof,
authorizes and expressly directs the Trustee on his behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate, as between the holders of such Securities and the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company, the subordination
provided in this Article. If, in the event of any proceeding or other action relating to the Company referred to in the second paragraph of Section 1401, a proper claim or proof of debt in the form required in such proceeding or action is not filed
by or on behalf of the holders of the Securities of any series prior to fifteen days before the expiration of the time to file such claim or claims, then the holder or holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company shall have the right to file and
are hereby authorized to file an appropriate claim for and on behalf of the holders of such Securities.

Meetings. 
  
 (1) The Trustee may at any time call
a meeting of Holders of Securities of any series for any purpose specified in Section 1601, to be held at such time and at such place in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or, if Securities of such series have been issued in whole or in
part as Bearer Securities, in London or in such place outside the United States as the Trustee shall determine. Notice of every meeting of Holders of Securities of any series, setting forth the time and the place of such meeting and in general terms
the action proposed to be taken at such meeting, shall be given, in the manner provided in Section 106, not less than 21 nor more than 180 days prior to the date fixed for the meeting.

Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or, if Securities of such series are to be issued as Bearer Securities, in London for such meeting and may call such meeting for such purposes by giving notice thereof as provided in clause (1) of this
Section. 
  
 Section 1603. Persons Entitled to Vote at
Meetings. 
  
 To be entitled to vote at any
meeting of Holders of Securities of any series, a Person shall be (1) a Holder of one or more Outstanding Securities of such series, or (2) a Person appointed by an instrument in writing as proxy for a Holder or Holders of one or more Outstanding
Securities of such series by such Holder or Holders. The only Persons who shall be entitled to be present or to speak at any meeting of Holders of Securities of any series shall be the Persons entitled to vote at such meeting and their counsel, any

 Section 1604. Quorum; Action. 
  

 94 








 The Persons entitled to vote a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of a series
shall constitute a quorum for a meeting of Holders of Securities of such series. In the absence of a quorum within 30 minutes after the time appointed for any such meeting, the meeting shall, if convened at the request of Holders of Securities of
such series, be dissolved. In any other case the meeting may be adjourned for a period of not less than 10 days as determined by the chairman of the meeting prior to the adjournment of such meeting. In the absence of a quorum at any such adjourned
meeting, such adjourned meeting may be further adjourned for a period of not less than 10 days as determined by the chairman of the meeting prior to the adjournment of such adjourned meeting. Notice of the reconvening of any adjourned meeting shall
be given as provided in Section 1602(1), except that such notice need be given only once not less than five days prior to the date on which the meeting is scheduled to be reconvened. Notice of the reconvening of an adjourned meeting shall state
expressly the percentage, as provided above, of the principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series which shall constitute a quorum. 
  
 Except as limited by the proviso to Section 902, any resolution presented to a meeting or adjourned meeting duly reconvened at which a quorum is present
as aforesaid may be adopted only by the affirmative vote of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series; provided, however, that, except as limited by the proviso to Section 902, any resolution with
respect to any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act which this Indenture expressly provides may be made, given or taken by the Holders of a specified percentage, which is less than a majority, in principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities of a series may be adopted at a meeting or an adjourned meeting duly reconvened and at which a quorum is present as aforesaid by the affirmative vote of the Holders of such specified percentage in principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series. 
  
 Any
resolution passed or decision taken at any meeting of Holders of Securities of any series duly held in accordance with this Section shall be binding on all the Holders of Securities of such series and the Coupons appertaining thereto, whether or not
such Holders were present or represented at the meeting. 
  
 Section 1605. Determination of Voting Rights; Conduct and Adjournment of Meetings. 
  
 (1) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee may make such reasonable regulations as it may deem advisable for any meeting of
Holders of Securities of such series in regard to proof of the holding of Securities of such series and of the appointment of proxies and in regard to the appointment and duties of inspectors of votes, the submission and examination of proxies,
certificates and other evidence of the right to vote, and such other matters concerning the conduct of the meeting as it shall deem appropriate. Except as otherwise permitted or required by any such regulations, the holding of Securities shall be
proved in the manner specified in Section 104 and the appointment of any proxy shall be proved in the manner specified in Section 104 or by having the signature of the person executing the proxy witnessed or guaranteed by any trust company, bank or
banker authorized by Section 104 to certify to the holding of Bearer Securities. Such regulations may provide that written instruments appointing proxies, regular on their face, may be presumed valid and genuine without the proof specified in
Section 104 or other proof. 
  

 95 








 (2) The Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing, appoint a temporary chairman of the meeting, unless
the meeting shall have been called by the Company or by Holders of Securities as provided in Section 1602(2), in which case the Company or the Holders of Securities of the series calling the meeting, as the case may be, shall in like manner appoint
a temporary chairman. A permanent chairman and a permanent secretary of the meeting shall be elected by vote of the Persons entitled to vote a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series represented at the meeting.

  
 (3) At any meeting, each Holder of a Security of such series
or proxy shall be entitled to one vote for each $1,000 principal amount of Securities of such series held or represented by him; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or counted at any meeting in respect of any Security challenged as not
Outstanding and ruled by the chairman of the meeting to be not Outstanding. The chairman of the meeting shall have no right to vote, except as a Holder of a Security of such series or proxy. 
  
 (4) Any meeting of Holders of Securities of any series duly called pursuant
to Section 1602 at which a quorum is present may be adjourned from time to time by Persons entitled to vote a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series represented at the meeting; and the meeting may be held as so
adjourned without further notice. 
  
 Section 1606. Counting
Votes and Recording Action of Meetings. 
  
 The
vote upon any resolution submitted to any meeting of Holders of Securities of any series shall be by written ballots on which shall be subscribed the signatures of the Holders of Securities of such series or of their representatives by proxy and the
principal amounts and serial numbers of the Outstanding Securities of such series held or represented by them. The permanent chairman of the meeting shall appoint two inspectors of votes who shall count all votes cast at the meeting for or against
any resolution and who shall make and file with the secretary of the meeting their verified written reports in triplicate of all votes cast at the meeting. A record, at least in triplicate, of the proceedings of each meeting of Holders of Securities
of any series shall be prepared by the secretary of the meeting and there shall be attached to said record the original reports of the inspectors of votes on any vote by ballot taken thereat and affidavits by one or more persons having knowledge of
the facts setting forth a copy of the notice of the meeting and showing that said notice was given as provided in Section 1602 and, if applicable, Section 1604. Each copy shall be signed and verified by the affidavits of the permanent chairman and
secretary of the meeting and one such copy shall be delivered to the Company, and another to the Trustee to be preserved by the Trustee, the latter to have attached thereto the ballots voted at the meeting. Any record so signed and verified shall be
conclusive evidence of the matters therein stated.
