 Section
103.    
Form of Documents Delivered to Trustee. 
  
 In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that

such matters in one or several documents. 
  
 Any certificate or
opinion of an officer of the Company may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the
certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate or opinion of counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate

 Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other

 Section 104.    
Acts of Holders; Record Dates. 
  
 (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor
signed by such Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is
hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of
execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 601) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if in the manner provided in this
Section. 
  
 (b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person
of any such instrument or 
  

 10 








 writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other
officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his
individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved
in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient. 
  
 (c)
The ownership of Securities shall be proved by the Security Register. 
  
 (d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Security and the Holder of every Security issued upon the registration of
transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security. 

 
 (e) The Company may, in the circumstances permitted by the Trust Indenture
Act, fix any day as the record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Securities of any series entitled to give or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, or to vote on any action,
authorized or permitted to be given or taken by Holders of Securities of such series. If not set by the Company prior to the first solicitation of a Holder of Securities of such series made by any Person in respect of any such action, or, in the
case of any such vote, prior to such vote, the record date for any such action or vote shall be the 30th day (or, if later, the date of the most recent list of Holders required to be provided pursuant to Section 701) prior to such first solicitation
or vote, as the case may be. With regard to any record date for action to be taken by the Holders of one or more series of Securities, only the Holders of Securities of such series on such date (or their duly designated proxies) shall be entitled to
give or take, or vote on, the relevant action. With regard to any record date set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on such record date (or their duly appointed agents), and only such Persons,
shall be entitled to give or take the relevant action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date. With regard to any action that may be given or taken hereunder only by Holders of a requisite principal amount of Outstanding
Securities of any series (or their duly appointed agents) and for which a record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Company may, at its option, set an expiration date after which no such action purported to be given or taken by any Holder
shall be effective hereunder unless given or taken on or prior to such expiration date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date (or their duly appointed agents). On or prior to any
expiration date set pursuant to this paragraph, the Company may, on one or more occasions at its option, extend such date to any later date. Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent any Holder (or any duly appointed agent thereof) from giving or
taking, after any expiration date, any action identical to, or, at any time, contrary to or different from, any action given or taken, or purported to have been given or taken, hereunder by a Holder on or prior to such date, in which event the
Company may set a record date in respect thereof pursuant to this paragraph. 
  

 11 








 Notwithstanding the foregoing or the Trust Indenture Act, the Company shall not set a record date for, and the provisions
of this paragraph shall not apply with respect to, any action to be given or taken by Holders pursuant to Section 501, 502 or 512. 
  
 (f) Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to give or 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 any one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any different part of such principal amount. 
  
 Section 105.    
Notices, Etc., to Trustee and Company. 
  
 Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders of other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with, 
  
 (1) the Trustee by any Holder or by the Company shall be sufficient for every
purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, Attention: Corporate Trust Department, or 
  

(2) the Company by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in
writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Company addressed to it 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; provided, however, that such notice shall not be deemed to be given until received by the Company. 
  
 Section 106.    
Notice to Holder; Waiver. 
  
 Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such
event, at such Holder’s address as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date (if any), and not earlier than the earliest date (if any), prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders is
given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Where this Indenture provides for notice in any
manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but
such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver. 
  
 In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then
such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder. 
  

 12 








 
Section 107.     Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. 
  
 If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with a provision of the Trust Indenture Act that is required under such Act to be a part of and
govern this Indenture, the latter provision shall control. If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act that may be so modified or excluded, the latter provisions shall be deemed to apply to this
Indenture as so modified or to be excluded, as the case may be. 
  
 
Section 108.     Effect of Holdings and Table of Contents. 
  
 The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction thereof. 
  
 
Section 109.     Successors and Assigns. 
  
 All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Company shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. 
  
 
Section 110.     Separability Clause. 
  
 In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Securities shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or
impaired thereby. 
  
 
Section 111.     Benefits of Indenture. 
  
 Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, any Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Security Registrar
and the Holders, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claims under this Indenture. 
  
 
Section 112.     Governing Law. 
  
 This Indenture and the Securities shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California. 
  
 
Section 113.     Legal Holidays. 
  
 In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity of any Security shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or the
Securities (other than a provision of the Securities of any series 
  

 13 








 which specifically states that such provision shall apply in lieu of this Section)) payment of interest or principal (and
premium, if any) need not be made at such Place of Payment on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date, or at
the Stated Maturity, provided that no interest shall accrue for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity, as the case may be.

 If any of the terms of the series

 23 








 
Assistant Secretary of the Company and delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Officers’ Certificate setting forth the terms of the
series. 
  
 Section 302.
    Denominations. 
  
 The Securities of each series shall be issuable in registered form without coupons in such denominations as shall be specified as contemplated by Section 301. In the absence of any such provisions with respect to the Securities of any
series, the Securities of such series shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. 
  
 Section 303.
    Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. 
  
 The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, its Vice Chairman of the Board, its President, one of its Vice
Presidents or its Treasurer, under its corporate seal reproduced thereon attested by its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile. 
  
 Securities bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were
at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or did not hold such offices at
the date of such Securities. 
  
 At any time and from time to time
after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and
upon receipt by the Trustee of the Supplemental Indenture or Board Resolutions and an opinion of counsel as described below the Trustee in accordance with the Company Order (which may provide that Securities that are the subject thereof will be
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee upon the telephonic order promptly followed by written order of Persons designated in said Company Order and that such Persons are authorized to determine such terms and conditions of said Securities as are
specified in the Company Order) shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. If the form or terms of the Securities of the series have been established in or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions or Supplemental 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, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 601) shall be fully
protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating: 
  
 (1)
if the form such Securities has been established by or pursuant to a Board Resolution as permitted by Section 201 or a Supplemental Resolution, that such form has been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; 
  
 (2) if the terms of such Securities have been established by or pursuant to a
Board Resolution as permitted by Section 301 or a Supplemental Resolution, that such terms have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and 
  

 24 








 (3) that such Securities, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company in
the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer,
reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors, rights and to general equity principals and to such other matters as counsel may specify. 
  
 If such form or terms have been so established, the Trustee shall not be
required to authenticate such 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. 
  
 Notwithstanding the
provisions of Section 301 and of the preceding paragraph, if all Securities of a series are not to be originally issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver the Officers’ Certificate otherwise required pursuant to Section 301 or
the Company Order and Opinion of Counsel otherwise required pursuant to such preceding paragraph at or prior to the time of authentication of each Security of such series if such documents are delivered at or prior to the authentication upon
original issuance of the first Security of such series to be issued and contemplate issuance of all Securities of such series. 
  
 Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. 
  
 No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a
certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly
authenticated and delivered hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for
cancellation as provided in Section 309, 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 of any series, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or
otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers
executing such Securities may determined, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities. 
  

 25 








 If temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities of that
series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities of such series, the temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities of such series upon surrender of the temporary
Securities of such series at the office or agency of the Company maintained pursuant to Section 1002 in a Place of Payment for that series for the purpose of exchanges of Securities of such series, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for
cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any series the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor one or more definitive Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations
and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor. 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 and tenor. 

 
 Section 305.    
Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange. 
  
 The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a register (the register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment being herein
sometimes collectively referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Securities and of transfers of Securities. The Trustee
is hereby appointed “Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering Securities and transfers of Securities as herein provided. 
  
 Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of any series at the office or agency in a Place of Payment for that series, the Company shall
execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor.

  
 At the option of the Holder, Securities of any series may be
exchanged for other Securities of the same series of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so
surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 
  
 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 entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 
  
 Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company or
the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly 
  

 26 








 
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 of Securities, but the Company may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 304, 906 or 1007 not involving any
transfer. 
  
 The Company shall not be required (a) to issue,
register the transfer of or exchange Securities of any series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities of that series selected for redemption under Section
1103 and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (b) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except in the case of any Security to be redeemed in part, the portion
thereof not to be redeemed. 
  
 Notwithstanding any other
provision in this Indenture, any Global Security shall be exchangeable pursuant to this Section 305 for Securities registered in the names of Persons other than the Depositary for such Global Security or its nominee only when (a) the Depositary
notifies the Company and the Trustee in writing that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or if at any time the Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and a successor
Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days, (b) the Company in its sole discretion determines not to have all of the Securities represented by a Global Security and executes and delivers to the Trustee a Company Order that such Global
Security shall be so exchangeable, (c) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default or an event which, with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default with respect to the Securities
represented by such Global Security or (d) there shall exist such other circumstances, if any, as shall be specified for this purpose as contemplated by Section 301. Any Global Security that is exchangeable pursuant to clause (a), (b), (c) or (d)
above, shall be surrendered by the Depositary, or such other depositary as shall be specified in the Company Order with respect thereto, to the Trustee, as the agent for such purpose, to be exchanged, in whole or in part, for definitive Securities
without charge, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for each portion of such permanent Global Security, an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities, executed by the Company, of the same series of authorized
denominations and of like tenor as the portion of such Global Security to be exchanged, which shall be in the form of registered Securities as provided in the Company Order. 
  
 Every Security authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global
Security other than pursuant to clauses (a), (b), (c) or (d) in the preceding paragraph, whether pursuant to this Section, Sections 304, 306, 906 or 1107 or otherwise, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global
Security. 
  
 Section 306.
    Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities. 
  

 27 








 If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 
  
 If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (a) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or
theft of any Security and (b) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a
bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not
contemporaneously outstanding. 
  
 In case any such mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security. 
  
 Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. 
  
 Every new Security of any series issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall
constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and
proportionately with any and all other Securities of that series duly issued hereunder. 
  
 The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities.

  
 Section 307.
    Payment of Interest: Interest Rights Preserved. 
  
 Except as otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series of Securities, interest on any Security which is payable, and is
punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest.

  
 In the case of Securities represented by a Global Security
registered in the name of or held by a Depositary or its nominee, unless otherwise specified by Section 301, payment of 
  

 28 








 principal, premium, if any and interest, if any, will be made to the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, as
the registered owner or Holder of such Global Security. None of the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent, any Authenticating Agent nor the Security Registrar for such Securities will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the
records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interest in an Global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. 
  
 Any interest on any Security of any series which is payable, but is not
punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such
Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in Clause (1) or (2) below: 
  
 (1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their respective
Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of
Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security of such series and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in
respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such
Defaulted Interest as in this Clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment
and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the
proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of Securities of such series at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not less than 10 days
prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such
series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following Clause (2). 
  
 (2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Securities
of any series in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice is given by the Company to
the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this Clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. 
  

 29 








 At the option of the Company, interest on Securities of any series that bear interest may be paid by wire
transfer to an account within the United States or by mailing a check to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register. 
  
 Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, 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 308.    
Persons Deemed Owners. 
  
 Prior
to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of
receiving payment of principal of and any premium and (except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301(3) and subject to Section 307) any interest on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be
overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
  
 In the case of a Global Security, so long as the Depositary for such Global Security, or its nominee, is the registered owner of such Global Security,
such Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or Holder of the Securities represented by such Global Security for all purposes under this Indenture. Except as provided in Section 305, owners of beneficial
interests in a Global Security will not be entitled to have Securities that are represented by such Global Security registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of such Securities in definitive form and
will not be considered the owners or Holders thereof under this Indenture. 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Global Security, nothing herein shall (a) prevent the Company, the Trustee, or any agent of the Company or the Trustee, from giving effect to any written
certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by a Depositary or (b) impair, as between a Depositary and holders of beneficial interests in any Global Security, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of the
Depositary as holder of such Global Security. 
  
 None of the
Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Security Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to, or payments made on account of, beneficial ownership interests of a Security issued in global form
or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. 
  
 Section 309.    
Cancellation. 
  
 All Securities
surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange or for credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly canceled by it.
The Company 
  

 30 








 may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder
which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and
sold, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture.
All canceled Securities held by the Trustee shall be disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its customary practices and the Trustee shall from time to time, or upon request by the Company, deliver to the Company certificates of destruction
with respect thereto. 
  
 Section
310.    
Computation of Interest. 
  
 Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

 (1) either 
  
 (A) all Securities theretofore authenticated and delivered
(other than (i) Securities which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 306 and (ii) Securities for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust
by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 1003) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; o r

 (i) have become due and payable, or 
  

 31 








 (ii) will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year, or

  
 (iii) are to be called for redemption within
one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company, 
  

and the Company, in the case of (i), (ii) or (iii) above, has deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for the purpose, lawful
money of the United States or U.S. Government Obligations which through the payment of interest and principal in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide lawful money not later than one day before the due dates of principal (and
premium, if any) or interest, or any combination thereof, in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal and any premium and interest
to the date of such deposit (in the case of Securities which have become due and payable) or to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be;

In the event there are two or more Trustees hereunder, then the effectiveness of any such instrument shall be conditioned upon receipt of such instruments from all Trustees hereunder.

and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee. 
  
 
ARTICLE FIVE 
  
 REMEDIES

  
 
Section 501.    Events of Default. 
  
 “Event of Default”, wherever used herein with respect to Securities of any series, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or
involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body), unless such event is either inapplicable to a particular series or
it is specifically deleted or modified in the supplemental indenture creating such series of Securities or in the form of Security for such series: 
  
 (1) default in the payment of any interest upon any Security of that series when it becomes due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period

 (4) default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant or warranty of the Company in this Indenture (other than a covenant or warranty a default in
whose performance or whose breach is specifically dealt with elsewhere in this Section or which has expressly been included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of a series of Securities other than that series or which has been included in this
Indenture but not made applicable to the Securities of such series), and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 90 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and
the Trustee by the Holders of at least 15% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of
Default” hereunder; or 
  
 (5) failure by the Company to make
any payment at maturity, including any applicable grace period, in respect of indebtedness, which term as used herein means obligations (other than the Securities of such series or non-recourse obligations) of the Company for borrowed money or

Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 15% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice
is a “Notice of Default” hereunder; or 
  

 33 








 (6) a default with respect to any Indebtness, which default results in the acceleration of Indebtness in
an amount in excess of $25,000,000 or the equivalent thereof in any other currency or composite currency without such Indebtness having been discharged or such acceleration having been cured, waived, rescinded or annulled for a period of thirty (30)
days after written notice thereof shall have been given to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 15% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series a written notice specifying such
default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder; 
  
 (7) the entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises of (a) a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in an involuntary case or
proceeding under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or (b) a decree or order adjudging the Company a bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Company under any applicable Federal or State law, or appointing a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Company or of any
substantial part of its properties, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 90 consecutive days; or

any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or of any other case or proceeding to be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by the Company to the entry of a decree or order for relief in
respect of the Company in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or to the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding against the
Company, or the filing by the Company of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable Federal or State law, or the consent by the Company to the filing of such petition or to the appointment of or taking
possession by a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Company or of any substantial part of its properties, or the making by the Company of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or
the admission by the Company in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or the taking of corporate 
  

 34 








 
action by the Company in furtherance of any such action; or 
  
 (9) any other Event of Default provided with respect to Securities of that series. 
  
 Provided that if any such Failure, default or acceleration referred to in clauses (5) or (6) above shall cease or be cured,
waived, rescinded or annulled, then the Event of Default hereunder by reason thereof shall be deemed likewise to have been thereupon cured. 
  
 Upon receipt by the Trustee of any Notice of Default pursuant to this Section 501 with respect to Securities of any series, a record date shall
automatically and without any other action by any Person be set for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of such series entitled to join in such Notice of Default, which record date shall be the close of business on the
day the Trustee receives such Notice of Default. Promptly after the establishment of a record date pursuant to the provisions of this Section 501, the Trustee shall notify the Company and the Holders of Outstanding Securities of such series of the
establishment of such record date. The Holders of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date (or their duly appointed agents), and only such Persons, shall be entitled to join in such Notice of Default, whether or not such Holders
remain Holders after such record date; provided that, unless such Notice of Default shall have become effective by virtue of Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date (or their duly
appointed agents) having joined therein on or prior to the 90th day after such record date, such Notice of Default shall automatically and without any action by any Person be canceled and of no further effect. Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent
a Holder (or a duly appointed agent thereof) from giving, before or after the expiration of such 90-day period, a Notice of Default contrary to or different from, or, after the expiration of such period, identical to, a Notice of Default that has
been canceled pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, in which event a new record date in respect thereof shall be set pursuant to this paragraph. 
  
 
Section 502.    Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. 
  
 If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or
the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series may declare the principal amount (or, if any of the Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal
amount of such Securities as may be specified in the terms thereof) of all of the Securities of that series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such
declaration such principal amount (or specified amount) shall become immediately due and payable. 
  
 At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to Securities of any series has been made, but before a judgment or decree for payment
of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and
annul such acceleration and its consequences if: 
  
 (1) the
Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay 
  

 35 








 (A) all overdue interest on all Securities of that series, 
  
 (B) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Securities
of that series which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and any interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful; 
  
 (C) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful,
interest upon overdue interest at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and 
  
 (D) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and counsel; 
  
 and 
  
 (2) all Events of Default with respect to Securities of that series, other
than the non-payment of the principal of Securities of that series which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 513. 
  
 No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
  
 Upon receipt by the Trustee of any declaration of acceleration, or any
rescission and annulment of any such declaration, pursuant to this Section 502 with respect to Securities of any series, a record date shall automatically and without any other action by any Person be set for the purpose of determining the Holders
of Outstanding Securities of such series entitled to join in such declaration, or rescission or annulment, as the case may be, which record date shall be the close of business on the day the Trustee receives such declaration, or rescission and
annulment, as the case may be. Promptly after the establishment of a record date pursuant to the provisions of this Section 502, the Trustee shall notify the Company and the Holders of Outstanding Securities of such series of the establishment of
such record date. The Holders of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date (or their duly appointed agents), and only such Persons, shall be entitled to join in such declaration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be,
whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that, unless such declaration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be, shall have become effective by virtue of Holders of the requisite principal amount of
Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date (or their duly appointed agents) having joined therein on or prior to the 90th day after such record date, such declaration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be, shall
automatically and without any action by any Person be canceled and of no further effect. Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent a Holder (or a duly appointed agent thereof) from giving, before or after the expiration of such 90-day 

  

 36 








 period, a declaration of acceleration, or a rescission and annulment of any such declaration, contrary to or different
from, or, after the expiration of such period, identical to, a declaration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be, that has been canceled pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, in which event a new record date in respect
thereof shall be set pursuant to this paragraph. 
  
 Section 503.    
Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. 
  
 The Company covenants that if: 
  
 (1) default is made in the payment of any interest on any Security when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues
for a period of 30 days, or 
  
 (2) default is
made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security at the Maturity thereof, or 
  
 (3) default is made in the payment of any sinking or purchase fund or analogous obligation when the same becomes due by the terms of the
Securities of any series, and any such default continues for any period of grace provided with respect to the Securities of such series. 
  
 the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holder of any such Security (or the Holders of any such series in the case of clause (3)
above), the whole amount then due and payable on any such Security (or on the Securities of any such series in the case of clause (3) above) for principal and any premium and interest and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally
enforceable, interest on any overdue principal and premium and on any overdue interest, at the rate or rates prescribed therefor by the terms of any such Security (or of Securities of any such series in the case of clause (3) above); and, in
addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. 
  
 If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the
Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such proceedings to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the
Company or any other obligor upon the Securities of such series and collect the money adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities, wherever situated.

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

 37 








 Section 504.    
Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 
  
 In case of any judicial proceeding relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities), its property or its creditors, the Trustee shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to take any
and all actions authorized under the Trust Indenture Act in order to have claims of the Holders and the Trustee allowed in any such proceeding. In particular, the Trustee shall be authorized to collect and receive any moneys or other property
payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such
payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any
amount due it for reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 607. 
  
 No provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on
behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

  
 Section 505.    
Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities. 
  
 All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding relating
thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements
and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such judgment has been recovered. 
  
 Section 506.    
Application of Money Collected. 
  
 Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal or any premium or
interest, upon presentation of the Securities and the notation thereof of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid: 
  
 FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 607; 
  
 SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of and 
  

 38 








 
any premium and interest on the Securities in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or
priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Securities for principal and any premium and interest, respectively; and 
  
 THIRD: The balance, if any, to the Company or any other Person or Persons entitled thereto. 
  
 In any case where Securities are outstanding which are denominated in more
than one currency, or in a composite currency and at least one other currency, and the Trustee is directed to make ratable payments under this Section to Holders of Securities, the Trustee shall calculate the amount of such payments as follows: (i)
as of the day the Trustee collects an amount under this Article, the Trustee shall, as to each Holder of a Security to whom an amount is due and payable under this Section which is denominated in a foreign currency or a composite currency, determine
that amount of U.S. Dollars that would be obtained for the amount owing such Holder, using the rate of exchange at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Trustee could purchase in The City of New York U.S. Dollars with such amount
owing, (ii) calculate the sum of all U.S. Dollar amounts determined under (i) and add thereto any amounts due and payable in U.S. Dollars; and (iii) using the individual amounts determined in (i) or any individual amounts due and payable in U.S.
Dollars, as the case may be, as a numerator and the sum calculated in (ii) as a denominator, calculate as to each Holder of a Security to whom an amount is owed under this Section the fraction of the amount collected under this Article payable to
such Holder. Any expenses incurred by the Trustee in actually converting amounts owing Holders of Securities denominated in a currency or composite currency other than that in which any amount is collected under this Article shall be likewise (in
accordance with this paragraph) borne ratably by all Holders of Securities to whom amounts are payable under this Section. 
  
 To the fullest extent allowed under applicable law, if for the purpose of obtaining judgment against the Company in any court it is necessary to convert
the sum due in respect of the principal of, or any premium or interest on the Securities of any series (the “Required Currency”) into a currency in which 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 Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is
given. The Company shall not be liable for any shortfall nor shall it benefit from any windfall in payments to Holders of Securities under this Section caused by a change in exchange rates between the time the amount of a judgment against it is
calculated as above and the time the Trustee converts the Judgment Currency into the Required Currency to make payments under this Section to Holders of Securities, but payment of such judgment shall discharge all amounts owed by the Company on the
claim or claims underlying such judgment. 
  
 Section 507.    Limitation on Suits. 
  
 No Holder of any Security of any series shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy
hereunder, unless: 
  
 (1) such Holder has
previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of that series; 
  
 (2) the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series shall have made written request to
the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder; 
  
 (3) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in
compliance with such request; 
  
 (4) the Trustee
for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and 
  
 (5) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series; 
  
 it
being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders,
or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all of such Holders. 
  
 Section 508.    
Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest. 
  
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive
payment of the principal of any premium and (except as specified as contemplated by Section 301(3) and subject to Section 307) any 

  

 39 








 
interest on such Security on the Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and to
institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. 
  
 
Section 509.    Restoration of Rights and Remedies. 
  
 If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued
or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and
respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted. 
  
 
Section 510.    Rights and Remedies Cumulative. 
  
 Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of
Section 306, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in
addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or
employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 
  
 
Section 511.    Delay or Omission Not Waiver. 
  
 No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Securities to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any
such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be
deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be. 
  
 
Section 512.    Control by Holders. 
  
 The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee,
or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Securities of such series, provided that 
  
 (1) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, 
  

 40 








 (2) the Trustee shall not determine (it being understood that the Trustee shall have no obligation to
make such determination) that the action so directed would be unjustly prejudicial to Holders of Securities of that series, or any other series, not taking part in such direction, and 
  
 (3) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction.

  
 Upon receipt by the Trustee of any such direction with respect
to Securities of any series, a record date shall automatically and without any other action by any Person be set for determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of such series entitled to join in such direction, which record date shall be the
close of business on the day the Trustee receives such direction. Promptly after the establishment of a record date pursuant to the provisions of this Section 512, the Trustee shall notify the Holders of Outstanding Securities of such series of the
establishment of such record date. The Holders of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date (or their duly appointed agents), and only such Persons, shall be entitled to join in such direction, whether or not such Holders remain
Holders after such record date; provided that, unless such direction shall have become effective by virtue of Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date (or their duly appointed agents)
having joined therein on or prior to the 90th day after such record date, such direction shall automatically and without any action by any Person be canceled and of no further effect. Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent a Holder (or a duly
appointed agent thereof) from giving, before or after the expiration of such 90-day period, a direction contrary to or different from, or, after the expiration of such period, identical to, a direction that has been canceled pursuant to the proviso
to the preceding sentence, in which event a new record date in respect thereof shall be set pursuant to this paragraph. 
  
 
Section 513.    Waiver of Past Defaults. 
  
 The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series waive any past default hereunder with respect
to such series and its consequences, except a default 
  
 (1) in
the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any Security of such series, or 
  
 (2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article Nine cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of such series affected. 
  
 Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of
Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no 

  

 41 








 such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
  
 Section 514.    
Undertaking for Costs. 
  
 In
any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, a court may require any party litigant in such suit to file an undertaking to
pay the costs of such suit, and may assess costs against any such party litigant, in the manner and to the extent provided in the Trust Indenture Act; provided that neither this Section nor the Trust Indenture Act shall be deemed to authorize any
court to require such an undertaking or to make such an assessment in any suit instituted by the Company. 
  
 Section 515.    
Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. 
  
 The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or
at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it
will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. 
  
 
ARTICLE SIX 
  
 THE TRUSTEE

  
 Section 601.    
Certain Duties and Responsibilities. 
  
 The duties and responsibilities of the Trustee shall be as provided by the Trust Indenture Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing (but subject to Section 107), 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. 
  
 Section 602.    
Notice of Defaults. 
  
 If a
default occurs hereunder with respect to Securities of any series of which the Trustee has notice, the Trustee shall give the Holders of Securities of such series notice of such default as and to the extent provided by 
  

 42 








 the Trust Indenture Act and in the manner provided in Section 106; provided, however, that in the case of any default of

State authority. If such Person 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
Person 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 the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign

 46 








 retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in
accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 611, 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 and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 611, any Holder 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.

 (a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to all Securities, every such successor so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an
instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers,
trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights,
powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder. 
  
 (b) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all)
series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and
which (i) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or
those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (ii) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all 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 (iii) shall add to or change
any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing 
  

 47 








 herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such
Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of
the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with
respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor
Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates. 
  
 (c) Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and
certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, as the case may be. 
  
 (d) No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be
qualified and eligible under this Article. 
  
 
Section 612.    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 the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation
shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the
Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself
authenticated such Securities. In the event any Securities shall not have been authenticated by such predecessor Trustee, any such successor Trustee may authenticate and deliver such Securities, in either its own name or that of its predecessor
Trustee, with the full force and effect which this Indenture provides for the certificate of authentication of the Trustee. 
  
 
Section 613.    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). 
  
 
Section 614.    Appointment of Authenticating Agent. 
  

 48 








 The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to one or more series of
Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series issued upon original issue and upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof 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 shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State
thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having (or if such Authenticating Agent is a member of a bank holding company system, its bank holding company has) a combined capital and surplus of not
less than $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, such Authenticating Agent 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 the corporate agency or corporate trust business of
an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the
Authenticating Agent. 
  
 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 to the Company. Upon receiving
such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which
shall be acceptable to the Company and shall mail written notice of such appointment by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to all Holders of Securities of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve, as their names and
addresses appear in the Security Register. 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. 
  

 49 








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

Section 1002.    
Maintenance of Office or Agency. 
  
 The Company will maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of Securities an office or agency where Securities of that series may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Securities of that series may be surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may be served. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and
any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and

 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 will 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. 
  
 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 will, on or before each due date of the principal of or any premium or interest on any of the Securities of
that series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal and any premium and interest so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as
herein provided and will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. 
  
 Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of Securities, it will, prior to each due date of the principal of or any premium or interest on any Securities of that series, deposit with a
Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such amount, such sum to be held as provided by the Trust Indenture Act, 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 will 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 
  

 57 








 with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will (a) comply with the provisions
of the Trust Indenture Act applicable to it as a Paying Agent and (b) during the continuance of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities of that series) in the making of any payment in respect of the Securities of that
series, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent for payment in respect of the Securities of that series. 
  
 The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other
purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the
Company or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money. 
  
 Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the
principal of or any premium or interest on any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for a period ending the earlier of ten Business Days prior to the date such funds would escheat to the State of California or two years after such
principal, premium or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on Company Request (including interest income accrued on such funds, if any), or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder
of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee
thereof, shall thereupon cease. 
  
 Section
1004.    
Statement by Officers as to Default. 
  
 The Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company ending after the date hereof, an Officers’ Certificate, stating whether or not to the best knowledge of the signers thereof the
Company is in default in the performance and observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided hereunder) and, if the Company shall be in default,
specifying all such defaults and the nature and status thereof of which they may have knowledge. 
  
 Section 1005.    
Existence. 
  
 Subject to Article
Eight, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence, rights (charter and statutory) and franchises; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to

 Section 1006.    
Maintenance of Properties. 
  
 The
Company will cause all material properties used or useful in the conduct of its business or the business of any Subsidiary to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order and supplied with all necessary equipment and will cause
to be made all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereof, all as (and to the extent) in the judgment of the Company may be necessary or appropriate in connection with its business; provided, however, that
nothing in this Section shall prevent the Company from discontinuing the operation or maintenance of any of such properties if such discontinuance is, in the judgment of the Company, desirable in the conduct of its business or the business of any
Subsidiary and not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders. 
  
 Section 1007.    
Payment of Taxes and Other Claims. 
  
 The Company will pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, within 30 days after the Company shall have received notice that the same has become delinquent (1) all material taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or
imposed upon the Company or any Subsidiary or upon the income, profits or property of the Company or any Subsidiary, and (2) all lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies which, if unpaid, might by law become a material lien upon the property
of the Company or any Subsidiary; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or claim whose amount, applicability or validity, is being contested
in good faith by appropriate proceedings; provided, further, that the Company shall not be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or claim unless the failure to pay or discharge such tax,
assessment, charge or claim, would, individually or in the aggregate with all such failures, have a material adverse effect on the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. 
  
 Section 1008.    
Limitations on Liens. 
  
 (a)
Unless the terms of a particular series of Securities otherwise provide, so long as any Securities of such series remain outstanding, the Company will not, nor will it permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, issue, incur, create, assume or guarantee
any debt for borrowed money (hereinafter in this Article 10 referred to as “Debt”), secured by a mortgage, security interest, pledge, lien, charge or other encumbrance (mortgage, security interests, pledges, liens, charges and other
encumbrances being hereinafter in this Article 10, referred to as “mortgage” or “mortgages”) upon any Principal Property of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or upon any shares of stock or indebtedness of any Restricted
Subsidiary (whether such Principal Property, shares of stock or indebtedness are not existing or owed or hereafter created or acquired) without in any such case effectively providing concurrently with the issuance, incurrence, creation, assumption
or guaranty of any such Debt or the grant of a mortgage with respect to any such Debt that the Securities of such series Outstanding (together with, if the Company shall so determine, any other indebtedness of or guarantee by the Company or such
Restricted Subsidiary ranking equally with the 
  

 59 








 Securities of such series Outstanding and then existing or thereafter created) shall be secured equally and ratably with
(or, at the Company’s option, prior to) such Debt; provided, however, that the foregoing restrictions shall not apply to Debt secured by: 
  
 (1) mortgages on property, shares of stock or indebtedness or other assets of any corporation existing at the time such corporation
becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, provided that such mortgages or liens are not incurred in anticipation of such corporation becoming a Restricted Subsidiary; 
  

(2) mortgages on property, capital stock or indebtedness existing at the time of acquisition thereof by the Company or a Restricted
Subsidiary (which may include property previously leased by the Company and leasehold interests thereon; provided that the lease terminates prior to or upon the acquisition) or mortgages thereon to secure the payment of all or any part of the
purchase price thereof, or mortgages on property, capital stock or indebtedness to secure any debt incurred prior to, at the time of, or within 270 days after, the latest of the acquisition thereof, or, in the case of property, the completion of
construction, the completion of improvements or the commencement of substantial commercial operation of such property for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price thereof, such construction or the making of such improvements;

  
 (3) mortgages securing Debt owing to the
Company or to a Restricted Subsidiary; 
  
 (4)
mortgages existing on the date of initial issuance of the Securities of such series; 
  
 (5) mortgages on property or other assets of a corporation existing at the time such corporation is merged into or consolidated with the
Company or a Restricted Subsidiary or at the time of a sale, lease or other disposition of the properties of a corporation as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, provided that such mortgage was not
incurred in anticipation of such merger or consolidation or sale, lease or other disposition; 
  
 (6) mortgages in favor of the United States of America or any State, territory or possession thereof (or the District of Columbia), or any
department, agency, instrumentality or political subdivision of the United States of America or any State, territory or possession thereof (or the District of Columbia), to secure partial, progress, advance or other payments pursuant to any contract
or statute or to secure any Debt incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or the cost of construction or improvement of the property subject to such mortgages; 
  
 (7) mortgages created in connection with a project financed
with, and created to secure, a Nonrecourse Obligation; or 
  

 60 








 (8) any extension, renewal or replacement (or successive extensions, renewals or
replacements), in whole or in part, of any mortgage referred to in the foregoing clauses (1) to (7), inclusive, without increase of the principal of the Debt secured thereby; provided, however, that such extension, renewal or replacement shall be
limited to all or a part of the property which secured the mortgage extended, renewed or replaced (plus improvements on such property). 
  
 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1008, the Company and any one or more Restricted Subsidiaries may issue, incur, create,
assume or guarantee Debt secured by mortgages which would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions (“Exempted Secured Debt”) in an aggregate amount which, together with all other outstanding Debt of the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries which (if originally issued, incurred, created, assumed or guaranteed at such time) would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions (including Attributable Debt in respect of Sale and Lease-Backs as provided in Section 1009,
but not including Debt permitted to be secured under any of clauses (1) through (8) above or Attributable Debt with respect to a Sale and Lease-Back if Debt at least equal in amount to the Attributable Debt in respect of such Sale and Lease-Back
could have been issued, incurred, created, assumed or guaranteed by the Company or one or more Restricted Subsidiaries under any of clauses (1) through (8) above), does not at the time exceed the greater of $300,000,000 or 10% of Consolidated Net
Tangible Assets of the Company. 
  
 Section
1009.    
Limitations on Sale and Lease-Back Transactions. 
  
 (a) Unless the terms of a particular series of Securities otherwise provide, so long as any Securities of such series remain outstanding, the Company will not, nor will it permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter
into any direct or indirect arrangement with any person that provides for the leasing to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of any Principal Property (except for leases for a term of not more than three years and except for leases between the
Company and a Restricted Subsidiary or between Restricted Subsidiaries), which Principal Property has been or is to be sold or transferred by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary to such person (such arrangement herein in this Section 1009
referred to as a “Sale and Lease-Back”), unless: 
  
 (1) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary would be entitled, pursuant to the provisions of Section 1008, to issue, incur, create, assume or guarantee Debt secured by a mortgage upon such property at least equal in
amount to the Attributable Debt in respect of such Sale and Lease-Back without equally and ratably securing the Securities of such series Outstanding; provided, however, that from and after the date on which such Sale and Lease-Back becomes
effective the Attributable Debt in respect of such Sale and Lease-Back shall be deemed for all purposes under Section 1008 and this Section 1009 to be Debt subject to the provisions of Section 1008 (including, without limitation, for purposes of
calculating Exempted Secured Debt as provided in Section 1008(b)); or 
  
 (2) within 180 days of the effective date of such Sale and Lease-Back, the 
  

 61 








 Company shall apply an amount in cash equal to the greater of the net proceeds of the sale involved in such Sale and
Lease-Back or the Attributable Debt in respect of such Sale and Lease-Back to either (or a combination of) (i) the retirement (other than any mandatory retirement, mandatory prepayment or sinking fund payment or by way of payment at maturity), of
debt of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than Debt owed by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or Debt which is subordinate to Securities of such series Outstanding) which by its terms
matures at or is extendible or renewable at the option of the obligor to a date more than twelve months after the date of the creation of such Debt, or (ii) to the purchase, construction or development (or any combination thereof) of other
comparable property. 
  
 (b) For the purposes of this Section
1009, the term “Attributable Debt” with respect to a Sale and Lease-Back involving a Principal Property means, at the time of determination, the lesser of: 
  
 (1) the fair value of the property which is the subject of such Sale and Lease-Back (as determined in good
faith by the Board of Directors); or 
  
 (2) the
present value of the total net amount of rent required to be paid under such Sale and Lease-back during the remaining term thereof (including any renewal term or period for which such lease has been extended), discounted at the rate of interest set
forth or implicit in the terms of such Sale and Lease-back or, if not practicable to determine such rate, the weighted average interest rate per annum borne by the Debt Securities of each series outstanding pursuant to this Indenture compounded
semi-annually in either case as determined by the principle accounting officer of the Company. For purposes of this definition, rent shall not include amounts required to be paid by the lessee, whether or not designated as rent or additional rent,
on account of or contingent upon maintenance and repairs, insurance, taxes, assessments, water rates and similar charges. In the case of any lease which is terminable by the lessee upon the payment of a penalty, such net amount shall be the lesser
of the (i) net amount determined assuming termination upon the first date such lease may be terminated (in which case the net amount shall also include the amount of the penalty, but no rent shall be considered as required to be paid under such
lease subsequent to the first date upon which it may be so terminated) or (ii) the net amount determined assuming no such termination. 
  
 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1009, the Company and any one or more Restricted Subsidiaries may enter into an arrangement
that provides for the leasing to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of any Principal Property which would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions without applying the net proceeds of such transactions in the manner set forth in clause
(b) above, provided that after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of such Sale and Lease-Back Transactions, together with the aggregate amount of all debt secured by mortgages not permitted by clauses (1) through (8) under the limitation in
the Indenture on 
  

 62 








 mortgages, does not exceed the greater of $300,000,000 or 10% of the Consolidated Net Tangible Assets of the Company.

  
 Section 1010.    
Waiver of Certain Covenants. 
  
 The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in Sections 1008 and 1009 with respect to the Securities of any series if before the time for such compliance the Holders of not less
than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such term, provision or condition, but no such waiver
shall extend to or affect such term, provision or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any term, provision or
condition shall remain in full force and effect.

 Section 1305.    
Deposited Money and U.S. Government Obligations to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. 
  
 Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all money and U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with
the Trustee or other qualifying trustee (solely for purposes of this Section and Section 1306, the Trustee and such other trustee are referred to collectively as the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 1304 in respect of the Securities of any
Defeasible Series shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities of such series and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any such Paying Agent (including the Company
acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Securities of such series, of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal and any premium and interest, but money so held in trust need not be
segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
  
 The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 1304 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof
other than any such tax, fee or other charge that by law is for the account of the Holders of the Outstanding Securities. 
  
 Anything in this Article Thirteen to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company Request
any money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 1304 which with respect to Securities of any Defeasible Series that, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written
certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance with respect to the Securities of such series. 
  
 Section 1306.    
Reinstatement. 
  
 If the Trustee
or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with this Article Thirteen with respect to the Securities of any series by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise
prohibiting such application, then the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Securities of such series shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article Thirteen with respect to Securities
of such series until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all money held in trust pursuant to Section 1305 with respect to Securities of such series in accordance with this Article Thirteen; provided, however, that if the
Company makes any payment of principal of or any premium or interest on any Security of such series following the reinstatement 
  

 70 








 of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series to receive
such payment from the money so held in trust. 
  
 ARTICLE
FOURTEEN 
  
 
REPAYMENT AT OPTION OF SECURITY HOLDERS 
  
 Section 1401.    
Applicability of Article. 
  
 Securities of any series which are repayable at the option of the Holders thereof before their Stated Maturity shall be repaid in accordance with their terms and (except as otherwise contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of such
series) in accordance with this Article. 
  
 Section 1402.    
Repayment of Securities. 
  
 Each Security which is subject to repayment in whole or in part at the option of the Holder thereof on a Repayment Date shall be repaid at the applicable Repayment Price together with interest accrued to such Repayment Date as specified
pursuant to Section 301. 
  
 Section
1403.    
Exercise of Option; Notice. 
  
 Each Holder desiring to exercise his option for repayment shall, as conditions to such repayment surrender the Security to be repaid together with all coupons, if any, appertaining thereto maturing after the Repayment Date and with written
notice of the exercise of such option at any office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment, not less than 15 nor more than 30 days prior to the Repayment Date. Such notice, which shall be irrevocable, shall identify the Security to be repaid
and shall specify the principal amount of such Security to be repaid, which shall be not less than the minimum authorized denomination for such Security or an integral multiple thereof and, in the case of a partial repayment of the Security, the
denomination or denominations of the Security or Securities with Equivalent Principal Terms to be issued to the Holder for the portion of the principal of the Security surrendered which is not to be repaid. 
  
 Any Security which is to be repaid only in part shall be surrendered at a
Place of Payment therefor (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly
authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Security or Securities with Equivalent Principal Terms, 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. 
  

 71 








 For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the
repayment of Securities shall relate, in the case of any Security repaid or to be repaid only in part, to the portion of the principal of such Security which has been or is to be repaid. 
  
 Section 1404.    
Securities Payable on the Repayment Date. 
  
 Notice of exercise of the option of repayment having been given and the Securities so to be repaid having been surrendered as aforesaid, such Securities shall, on the Repayment Date, become due and payable at the
Repayment Price therein specified and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of Repayment Price and accrued interest) such Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Security for repayment
in accordance with Section 1403, such Security shall be paid by the Company at the Repayment Price, together with accrued interest to the Repayment Date; provided, however, that, installments of interest on Securities whose Stated Maturity is on or
prior to the Repayment Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, required as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 307.

  
 If any Security duly surrendered for repayment shall not be
paid, the principal and any premium shall, until paid, bear interest from the Repayment Date at the rate prescribed therefor in the Security.              
  
 This instrument may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which
so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. 
  
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Indenture to be duly executed, and their respective corporate seals to be hereunto affixed and
attested, all as of the day and year first above written.
