 The provisions of the last sentence of Section 2.04 hereof shall apply to any Security represented by a Global Security
if such Security was never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company delivers to the Trustee the Security in global form together with written instructions (which need not comply with Section 13.04 or 13.05 hereof and need not be
accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) with regard to the reduction in the principal amount of Securities represented thereby, together with the written statement contemplated by the last sentence of Section 2.04 hereof. 

Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 2.14 and 2.15 hereof, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.03(a)
hereof, payment of principal of and any interest on any Global Security shall be made to the Person or Persons specified therein. 
 None of the Company, the Trustee of such series of Securities, any Paying Agent or Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account
of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

Officers’ Certificate pursuant to this Section 2.03(a) or in any indenture supplemental hereto. 
 All Securities of
any one series need not be issued at the same time and, unless otherwise provided, a series may be reopened for issuances of additional Securities of such series or for the establishment of additional terms with respect to the Securities of such
series. 
 If any of the terms of the series are established by action taken pursuant to a Board Resolution, a copy of any
appropriate record of such action shall be certified by the Secretary or an 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.

 (b) Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 2.03(a) hereof with respect to any series of Securities, the
Securities of such series shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof. 
 Section 2.04
Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. 
 Two Officers shall sign the Securities for the Company by manual or
facsimile signature. If an Officer whose signature is on a Security no longer holds that office at the time a Security is authenticated, the Security shall nevertheless be valid. 

  
 10 









 A Security shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual or facsimile signature of
the Trustee. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been authenticated under this Indenture. 
 At any
time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture (and subject to delivery of an Officers’ Certificate or a supplemental indenture as set forth in Section 2.03(a) hereof with respect to the initial issuance of
Securities of any series), 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 the Trustee in
accordance with such Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. If the forms or terms of the Securities of the series have been established in or pursuant to one or more Officers’ Certificates as permitted by Sections 2.01
and 2.03(a) hereof, 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 shall be fully protected in relying upon, an
Opinion of Counsel stating: 
 (a) that the form or forms and terms of such Securities have been duly authorized by the Company
and established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and 
 (b) that such Securities when authenticated and
delivered by the Trustee or its authenticating agent and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in
accordance with their terms, subject to customary qualifications and exceptions, including enforceability exceptions. 

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.03(a) hereof 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 or supplemental indenture otherwise required pursuant to Section 2.03(a) hereof and the Opinion of Counsel required by the 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. 

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 duly executed by the Trustee by manual signature of an authorized signatory, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered
hereunder. The Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be in substantially the following form: 
 This is one of the
Securities of the series designated therein referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture. 

[                   
         ], 
 as Trustee 

  
 11 









 
			
	By:	 	 
		 	 Authorized Officer



 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been duly 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 2.13 hereof together with a written statement (which need not comply with Section 13.04 or 13.05 hereof and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) stating that such Security has
never been issued and sold by the Company, 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 2.05 Registrar and Paying Agent. 
 The Company shall maintain, with respect to each series of Securities, an office or agency where such Securities may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange
(“Registrar”) and an office or agency where Securities may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Securities and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may appoint
one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. The Company may change any Paying Agent or
Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Company fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the
Trustee shall act as such. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. 
 The Company initially
appoints the Trustee to act as the Registrar and Paying Agent. 
 Section 2.06 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.

 The Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in
trust for the benefit of holders of Securities of any series or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on such series of Securities, and will notify the Trustee of any default by the
Company in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee.
Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary) shall have no further liability for the money. If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund
for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Company, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Securities. 

  
 12 









 Section 2.07 Holder Lists. 

The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and
addresses of all Holders of each series of Securities and shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee at least seven Business Days before each interest payment date and
at such other times as the Trustee may reasonably request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders of such series of Securities and the Company shall
otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a). 
 Section 2.08 Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange.

 Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Securities of a series at an office or agency of the Company designated
pursuant to Section 4.02 hereof for such purpose, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of the same series of any
authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount. The Company shall not charge a service charge for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to pay all taxes, assessments or
other governmental charges that may be imposed in connection with the transfer or exchange of the Securities from the Holder requesting such transfer or exchange (other than any exchange of a temporary Security for a permanent Security not involving
any change in ownership or any exchange pursuant to Section 2.12, 3.06 or 9.05 hereof, not involving any transfer). 

Notwithstanding any other provisions (other than the provisions set forth in the fourth and fifth paragraphs) of this Section 2.08,
a Global Security representing all or a portion of the Securities of a series may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary for such series to a nominee of such Depositary or by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or another
nominee of such Depositary or by such Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary for such series or a nominee of such successor Depositary. 
 At the option of the holder of Securities of any series, Securities of such series may be exchanged for other Securities of the same series of any authorized denomination or denominations 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. 
 Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 2.03(a) hereof, if the Securities of any series shall have been issued in the form of one or more Global Securities, such series of Securities in global form will be exchanged for Securities of such series in certificated form only if
(i) the Depositary for the Securities of such series notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Securities of such series or if at any time the Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered
under the Exchange Act and the Company fails within 90 days thereafter to appoint a successor Depositary, (ii) the Company in its sole discretion determines that the Securities of such series shall no longer be represented by such Global


  
 13 









 
Security or Securities or (iii) a Default with respect to the Securities of such series shall have occurred and be continuing. In any such event the Company will execute, and the Trustee,
upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of certificated Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver Securities of such series in certificated form and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal
amount of the Security or Securities in global form representing such series in exchange for such Security or Securities in global form. In any such instance, an owner of a beneficial interest in either Global Security will be entitled to physical
delivery in certificated form equal in principal amount to such beneficial interest and to have such Securities registered in its name. Securities so issued in certificated form will be issued in denominations of $1,000 or any larger amount that is
an integral multiple thereof, and will be issued in registered form only, without coupons. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing,
except as otherwise specified in the preceding paragraph or as contemplated by Section 2.03(a) hereof, any Global Security shall be exchangeable only as provided in this paragraph. If the beneficial owners of interests in a Global Security are
entitled to exchange such interests for certificated Securities of such series and of like principal amount and tenor but of another authorized form and denomination, as specified as contemplated by Section 2.03(a) hereof, then without
unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the earliest date on which such interests may be so exchanged, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee certificated Securities in aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such
Global Security, executed by the Company. On or after the earliest date on which such interests may be so exchanged, such Global Security shall be surrendered by the Depositary with respect thereto to the Trustee, as the Company’s agent for
such purpose, to be exchanged, in whole or from time to time in part, for certificated Securities without charge and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for each portion of such Global Security, an equal aggregate principal
amount of certificated Securities 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 Securities, or any combination thereof, as shall be specified by
the beneficial owner thereof; provided, however, that notwithstanding the last paragraph of this Section 2.08, no such exchanges may occur during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before any selection of
Securities of that series to be redeemed and ending on the relevant Redemption Date. If a Registered Security is issued in exchange for any portion of a Global Security after the close of business at the office or agency where such exchange occurs
on (i) any Regular Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the relevant Interest Payment Date, or (ii) any Special Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the related
proposed date for payment of Defaulted Interest (as defined herein), interest or Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, will not be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, in respect of such Security,
but will be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, only to the Person to whom interest in respect of such portion of such Global Security is payable in accordance with the provisions of this
Indenture. 
 Upon the exchange of a Security in global form for Securities in certificated form, such Security in global form
shall be cancelled by the Trustee. All cancelled Securities held by the Trustee shall be destroyed by the Trustee and a certificate of their destruction delivered to the Company. Securities issued in exchange for a Security in global form pursuant
to this Section 2.08 hereof shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the 

  
 14 









 
Depositary for such Security in global form, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee in writing. The Trustee shall deliver such
Securities as instructed in writing by the Depositary. 
 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 be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. 
 The Company shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Securities of any series during a period beginning at the opening of 15 Business Days before any selection of
Securities of such series to be redeemed and ending at the close of business on the day of the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security of any series so selected for redemption,
in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part. 
 Section 2.09 Replacement
Securities. 
 If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee or the Company and the Trustee receives evidence to
its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security, the Company shall issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order, shall authenticate a replacement Security if the Trustee’s requirements are met. If required by the
Trustee or the Company, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may
suffer if a Security is replaced. The Company may charge for its expenses in replacing a Security. 
 Every replacement Security
is an additional obligation of the Company and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Securities duly issued hereunder. 

Section 2.10 Outstanding Securities. 
 The Securities of any series outstanding at any time are all the Securities of such series authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those
reductions in the interest in a Global Security effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.11 hereof, a Security does not cease to
be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Security. Subject to the foregoing, only Securities outstanding at the time of such determination shall be considered in any such determination (including, without
limitation, determinations pursuant to Articles 6 and 9 hereof). In addition, in determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of outstanding Securities 

  
 15 









 
have given or concurred in any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, the principal amount of a Security denominated in a foreign currency or currencies
shall be the dollar equivalent, as determined on the date of original issuance of such Security, of the principal amount of such Security. 
 If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.09 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Security is held by a bona fide
purchaser. 
 If the principal amount of any Security is considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it ceases to be
outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue. 
 If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of
any thereof) holds, on a Redemption Date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay Securities payable on that date, then on and after that date such Securities shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue interest.

 Section 2.11 Treasury Securities. 
 In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Securities of any series have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Securities of such series owned by the Company, or by
any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company, shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be
protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Securities of that series that the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. 
 Section 2.12 Temporary Securities. 
 Until certificates representing
Securities of any series are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order, shall authenticate temporary Securities. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of certificated Securities
but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive
Securities of the same series in exchange for temporary Securities. 
 Holders of temporary Securities of any series shall be
entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture as permanent Securities of the same series. 
 Section 2.13
Cancellation. 
 The Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying
Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Securities surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement
or cancellation and shall destroy canceled Securities (subject to the record retention requirements of 

  
 16 









 
the Exchange Act). Certification of the destruction of all canceled Securities shall be delivered to the Company. The Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities that it has paid
or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 
 Section 2.14 Payment of Interest. 

Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 2.03(a) hereof 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. 
 If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Securities of any series which
is payable (“Defaulted Interest”), it shall pay the Defaulted Interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the Defaulted Interest, to the Persons who are Holders of the series on a subsequent Special
Record Date, in each case at the rate provided in the Securities of that series and in Section 4.01 hereof. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Securities of a series
and the date of the proposed payment. The Company shall fix or cause to be fixed each such Special Record Date and payment date, provided that no such Special Record Date shall be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such
Defaulted Interest. At least 15 days before the Special Record Date, the Company (or, upon the written request of the Company, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company) shall mail or cause to be mailed to Holders of the series a
notice that states the Special Record Date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid. 
 Subject to
the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.14 and Section 2.08 hereof, 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 2.15 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 (except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.03(a) hereof and
subject to Sections 2.08 and 2.14 hereof) 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. 
 None of the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the 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 in global form or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.


  
 17 









 Section 2.16 Computation of Interest. 

Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.03(a) hereof for Securities of any series, (i) interest on any
Securities which bear interest at a fixed rate shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months and (ii) interest on any Securities which bear interest at a variable rate shall be computed on the basis of the
actual number of days in an interest period divided by 360. 
 Section 2.17 CUSIP Numbers. 

The Company, in issuing the Securities, may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use
“CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities of a series or as
contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities of such series, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers.
The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers. 
 ARTICLE 3. 

REDEMPTION AND PREPAYMENT 
 Section 3.01 Right to Redeem; Notices to Trustee. 
 Securities of any
series which are redeemable before their Stated Maturity shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms and (except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.03(a) hereof for Securities of any series) in accordance with this
Article 3. If the Company elects to redeem Securities of any series, it shall furnish to the Trustee, at least 30 days (or such shorter period as may be acceptable to the Trustee) but not more than 60 days before a Redemption Date, an Officers’
Certificate setting forth (i) the clause of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur, (ii) the Redemption Date, (iii) the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed, (iv) any other information
necessary to identify the Securities of such series to be redeemed and (v) the Redemption Price. 
 Section 3.02
Selection of Securities to Be Redeemed. 
 Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.03(a) hereof with
respect to any series of Securities, if less than all of the Securities of a series are to be redeemed or purchased in an offer to repurchase at any time, the Trustee will select the Securities to be redeemed or purchased among the Holders of the
Securities of that Series in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Securities are listed or, if the Securities are not so listed, on a pro rata basis, by lot or in accordance with any
other method the Trustee in its sole discretion shall deem to be fair and appropriate. In the event 

  
 18 









 
of partial redemption by lot, the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by
the Trustee from the outstanding Securities not previously called for redemption. 
 The Trustee shall promptly notify the
Company in writing of the Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Security selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.03(a) hereof,
Securities and portions of Securities selected will be in amounts of $1,000 or whole multiples of $1,000. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Securities called for redemption also apply to
portions of Securities called for redemption. 
 Section 3.03 Notice of Redemption to Holders. 

Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.03(a) hereof with respect to any series of Securities, at least 30 days but
not more than 60 days before a Redemption Date, the Company shall mail or cause to be mailed a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Securities are to be redeemed at its registered address. 

The notice shall identify the Securities to be redeemed and shall state: 

(a) the Redemption Date; 
 (b) the Redemption Price; 
 (c) if less than all the outstanding Securities of any
series are to be redeemed, the identification (and in the case of partial redemption, the principal amount) of the particular Security to be redeemed; 
 (d) that, after the Redemption Date upon surrender of such Security, a new Security or Securities in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion shall be issued upon cancellation of the original
Security; 
 (e) the name and address of the Paying Agent; 

(f) that Securities called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the Redemption Price; 

(g) that, unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment, interest, if any, on Securities called for redemption ceases to
accrue on and after the Redemption Date; 
 (h) the paragraph of the Securities and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to
which the Securities called for redemption are being redeemed; 
 (i) that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the
case; and 
 (j) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number, if any, listed in such
notice or printed on the Securities. 

  
 19 









 At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the
Company’s name and at its expense; provided, however, that the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least 45 days prior to the Redemption Date (or such shorter period as may be acceptable to the Trustee), an
Officers’ Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, a redemption notice may be mailed more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Securities or satisfaction
and discharge of this Indenture. 
 Section 3.04 Effect of Notice of Redemption. 

Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, Securities called for redemption become irrevocably due
and payable on the Redemption Date at the Redemption Price. A notice of redemption may be conditional. 
 Section 3.05
Deposit of Redemption Price. 
 Prior to 12:00 noon (Eastern Standard Time) on the Redemption Date, the Company shall
deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of and accrued interest on all Securities of a series to be redeemed on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Company
any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the Redemption Price of, and accrued interest on, all Securities to be redeemed. 

If the Company complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the Redemption Date, interest shall cease to accrue
on the Securities or the portions of Securities called for redemption. If a Security is redeemed on or after a Regular Record Date but on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person
in whose name such Security was registered at the close of business on such Regular Record Date. If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Company to comply with the
preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal from the Redemption Date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the
Securities and in Section 4.01 hereof. 
 Section 3.06 Securities Redeemed in Part. 

Upon surrender of a Security that is redeemed in part, the Company shall issue and, upon the Company’s written request, the Trustee
shall authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Company a new Security equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Security surrendered.

made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. 
 The Company also may from time to time designate one or more
other offices or agencies where the Securities of a series may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission
shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in each place of payment for Securities of any series for such purposes. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or
rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. 
 With respect to any Global Security, and

 ARTICLE 5. 
 SUCCESSORS 

Section 5.01 Merger, Consolidation, or Sale of Assets. 

Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.03(a) hereof, the Company will not, consolidate with or merge with or into or
convey, transfer or lease, in one transaction or a series of transactions, directly or indirectly, all or substantially all of its assets to, any Person; unless: 

(1) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (the “Successor Company”) shall be a Person organized
and existing under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, the District of Columbia or any territory thereof and the Successor Company (if not the Company) shall expressly assume, by an indenture supplemental thereto, executed and
delivered to the trustee, in form reasonably satisfactory to the trustee, all of the obligations of the Company under the Securities and this Indenture provided that in the case where the Successor Company is not a corporation, a co-obligor
of the Securities is a corporation; 
 (2) immediately after giving pro forma effect to such transaction, no
Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and 
 (3) the Successor Company (if other
than the Company) shall have delivered to the trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger, conveyance transfer or lease and such supplemental indenture (if any) comply with the
indenture. 
 For purposes of this covenant, the conveyance, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the assets of one
or more Subsidiaries of the Company, which assets, if held by the Company instead of such Subsidiaries, would constitute all or substantially all of the assets of the Company on a consolidated basis, shall be deemed to be the conveyance, transfer or
lease, as applicable, of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing clause
(2) of this Section 5.01(a), (A) any Restricted Subsidiary may merge, consolidate or amalgamate with or transfer all or part of its properties and 

  
 22 









 
assets to the Company, and (B) the Company may merge, consolidate or amalgamate with an Affiliate incorporated solely for the purpose of reincorporating the Issuer in another state of the
United States, the District of Columbia or any territory of the United States or may convert into a limited liability company, so long as the amount of indebtedness of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries is not increased thereby. This
Article 5 will not apply to a transfer, conveyance or lease of assets between or among the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries. 
 Section 5.02 Successor Company Substituted. 
 Upon any consolidation or merger, or any
conveyance, transfer or lease in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.01 hereof, the Successor Company formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or to which such conveyance, transfer or lease is made, shall succeed
to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under this Indenture with the same effect as if such Successor Company had been named as the Company therein. When a Successor Company assumes all the obligations of
its predecessor under this Indenture and the Securities following a consolidation or merger, or any conveyance, transfer or lease of the assets of the predecessor in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the predecessor, except in the case of a
lease, shall be released from the obligations to pay the principal of and interest on the Securities. 
 ARTICLE 6. 

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES 
 Section 6.01 Events of Default. 
 Unless otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 2.03(a) hereof with respect to any series of Securities, an “Event of Default” occurs, with respect to each series of Securities individually, if: 

(a) the Company defaults in the payment when due of interest on the Securities of such series and such default continues for a period of
30 days; 
 (b) the Company defaults in the payment when due of principal of or premium, if any, on the Securities of such
series when the same becomes due and payable at its Stated Maturity, upon optional redemption, upon required repurchase, upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise; 
 (c) the Company fails to comply with any of the provisions of Section 5.01 hereof; 
 (d) the Company fails to observe or perform any other covenant or other agreement in this Indenture applicable to such series of Securities or the Securities of such series for 60 days after notice to the
Company by the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series then outstanding voting as a single class; 
 (e) the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary, pursuant to or within the meaning of Bankruptcy Law: 

  
 23 









 (i) commences a voluntary case, 

(ii) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case, 

(iii) consents to the appointment of a custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its assets, 

(iv) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or 

(v) generally is not paying its debts as they become due; 

(f) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that: 

(i) is for relief against the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary in an
involuntary case; 
 (ii) appoints a custodian of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or for all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary; or 
 (iii) orders the liquidation of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary; 
 and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days; 

(g) any other Event of Default provided with respect to the Securities of that series, which is specified in a supplemental indenture
hereto or an Officers’ Certificate, in accordance with Section 2.03(a) hereof. 
 Section 6.02
Acceleration. 
 If any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (e) or (f) of
Section 6.01 hereof with respect to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities
of that series may declare the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Securities of that series to be due and payable immediately. Upon any such declaration, the Securities of that series shall become due and payable immediately.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default specified in clause (e) or (f) of Section 6.01 hereof occurs and is continuing with respect to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary,
the principal of and interest on all outstanding Securities of that series shall be ipso facto immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders of the Securities. The Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of a series by written notice to the Trustee may on behalf of all of the Holders of such series of Securities rescind an acceleration and its consequences if all existing Events of
Default (except nonpayment of principal, interest or premium that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived. 

  
 24 









 Section 6.03 Other Remedies. 

If an Event of Default with respect to a series of Securities occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to
collect the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities of such series or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Securities of such series or this Indenture. 

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Securities of a series or does not produce any of them in
the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Security of such series in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the
Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law. 
 Section 6.04 Waiver of Past
Defaults. 
 Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of a series
by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Securities of such series waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the
principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the Securities of that series (including in connection with an offer to repurchase) (provided, however, that pursuant to Section 6.02 of this Indenture the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of a series may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration). Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease
to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

Section 6.05 Control by Majority. 
 Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of any series may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the
Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other
Holders of such Securities or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability. 
 Section 6.06 Limitation on
Suits. 
 Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, no Holder of
any Security of any series may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or such series of Securities unless: 
 (a) the
Holder of a Security of such series has previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default; 

  
 25 









 (b) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of
such series make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy; 
 (c) the Holder of a Security of such series or
Holders of Securities of such series offer and, if accepted, provide to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense; 

(d) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and

 (e) during such 60-day period the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of such series
do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request. 
 A Holder of any Security may not use this Indenture to
prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder. 
 Section 6.07 Rights
of Holders of Securities to Receive Payment and Convert. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the Holder
of any Security shall have the right to receive payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Security, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Security (including in connection with an offer to repurchase), or to
bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder. 
 Section 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee. 
 If an Event of Default
specified in Section 6.01(a) or (b) hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount of principal of, premium, if
any, and interest remaining unpaid on the Securities of any series and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. 
 Section 6.09
Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 
 The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents
as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders of the Securities of any
series allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities of that series), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other
property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the 

  
 26 









 
event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements
and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and
counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all
distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be
deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the
Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. 
 Section 6.10 Priorities.

 If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money in the following order: 

First: to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.07 hereof, including payment
of all compensation, expense and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection; 
 Second: to Holders of Securities for amounts due and unpaid on the Securities of any series for principal, premium, if any, and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind,
according to the amounts due and payable on the Securities of that series for principal, premium, if any and interest, respectively; and 
 Third: to the Company or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct. 
 The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders of Securities pursuant to this Section 6.10. 
 Section 6.11 Undertaking for Costs. 
 In any suit for the enforcement
of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs
of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party
litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a Security of any series pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding
Securities of any series. 

  
 27 









 ARTICLE 7. 
 TRUSTEE 
 Section 7.01 Duties of Trustee. 

(a) If an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of any series has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of
the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs. Other than with
respect to an Event of Default in the payment when due of interest or an Event of Default in the payment when due of principal of or premium, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of Events of Default unless a Responsible Officer has
actual knowledge or receives written notice of such Event of Default in accordance with Section 13.02 and such notice references the Securities and this Indenture. 
 (b) With respect to the Securities of any series, except during the continuance of an Event of Default with respect to Securities of such series: 

(i) the duties of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture and the Trustee need
perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and 

(ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not
they conform to the requirements of this Indenture. 
 (c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liabilities for its own
negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that: 
 (i) this
paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section 7.01; 
 (ii) the Trustee shall
not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and 

(iii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance
with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.05 hereof. 
 (d) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every

 28 









 (e) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds
or incur any liability. The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights and powers under this Indenture at the request of any Holders, unless such Holder shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity
satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense and then only to the extent required by the terms of this Indenture. 

(f) The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Company.
Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

Section 7.02 Rights of Trustee. 
 (a) The Trustee may conclusively rely upon any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated
in the document. 
 (b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’ Certificate or an
Opinion of Counsel or both. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee may consult with counsel and the written advice of
such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon. 

(c) The Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent
appointed with due care. 
 (d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith that it
believes to be authorized or within the rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture. 
 (e) Unless otherwise
specifically provided in this Indenture, any demand, request, direction or notice from the Company shall be sufficient if signed by an Officer of the Company. 
 (f) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders shall have offered
to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction. 
 (g) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee

 29 









 Section 7.03 Individual Rights of Trustee. 

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company
or any Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest, it must either eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for
permission to continue as Trustee or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 hereof. 
 Section 7.04 Trustee’s Disclaimer. 
 The Trustee shall not be
responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Securities, it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Securities or any money paid to the Company or upon the
Company’s direction under any provision of this Indenture, it shall not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it shall not be responsible for any statement or recital
herein or any statement in the Securities or any other document in connection with the sale of the Securities or pursuant to this Indenture other than its certificate of authentication. 

Section 7.05 Notice of Defaults. 
 If a Default occurs and is continuing with respect to a series of Securities and the Trustee has notice of such Default as described in Section 7.01(a) hereof, the Trustee shall mail to holders of
Securities of such series a notice of the Default within 90 days after it occurs; provided, however, that in any event the Trustee shall not be required to mail such notice until 10 days after a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
receives notice of such Default as described in Section 7.01(a) hereof of such Default. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Security, the Trustee may withhold the
notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the best interests of the Holders of the Securities. In addition, the Company is required to deliver to the Trustee, within
120 days after the end of each fiscal year, a certificate indicating whether the signers thereof know of any Default that occurred during the previous year. The Company is required to deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after the occurrence
thereof, written notice of any event which would constitute certain Defaults, their status and what action it is taking or proposes to take in respect thereof. 
 Section 7.06 Reports by Trustee to Holders of the Securities. 
 Within
60 days after each January 31 beginning with the January 31 following the date of this Indenture, and for so long as Securities of any series remain outstanding, the Trustee shall mail to the Holders of the Securities of such series a
brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA § 313(a) (but if no event described in TIA § 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also


  
 30 









 
shall comply with TIA § 313(b)(1). The Trustee also shall transmit by mail all reports as required by TIA § 313(c). 

A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to the Holders of Securities shall be mailed to the Company and filed with the SEC and
each stock exchange on which the Securities are listed in accordance with TIA § 313(d). The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee when the Securities are listed on any stock exchange. 

Section 7.07 Compensation and Indemnity. 
 The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law
on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services. Such
expenses shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel. 
 The
Company shall indemnify the Trustee against any and all losses, liabilities or expenses incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture, including the costs and expenses of
enforcing this Indenture against the Company (including this Section 7.07) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company or any Holder or any other person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of
any of its powers or duties hereunder, except to the extent any such loss, liability or expense may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure
by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its
consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 
 The obligations of the Company under this Section 7.07 shall
survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 
 To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this
Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Securities on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal and interest on particular Securities. 

When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(e) or (f) hereof
occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. 

The Trustee shall comply with the provisions of TIA § 313(b)(2) to the extent applicable. 

  
 31 









 Section 7.08 Replacement of Trustee. 

A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor
Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.08. 
 The Trustee may resign in writing at any time
and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Company. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of any series may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company in
writing. The Company may remove the Trustee if: 
 (a) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof; 

(b) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy
Law; 
 (c) a custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or 

(d) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

Company, or the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of any series may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

If the Trustee, after written request by any Holder who has been a Holder for at least six months, fails to comply with Section 7.10
hereof, such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective,
and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it
as Trustee to the successor Trustee, provided all sums owing to the retiring Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07 hereof. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this
Section 7.08, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.07 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE 
 Section 8.01 Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 

Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.03(a) hereof with respect to Securities of a particular series, the Company
may elect, at its option, at any time, to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof be applied to all outstanding Securities of any series designated pursuant to Section 2.03(a) hereof as being defeasible (the “Defeased
Securities”) in accordance with any additional requirements provided pursuant to Section 2.03(a) hereof and upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8. Any such election shall be evidenced by a Board
Resolution set forth in an Officers’ Certificate or in another manner specified as contemplated by Section 2.03(a) hereof for such Securities. 
 Section 8.02 Legal Defeasance and Discharge. 
 Upon the Company’s
exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option (if any) to have this Section 8.02 applied to any Securities of any series, the Company shall, subject to the 

  
 33 









 
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to all outstanding Defeased Securities on the date the
conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the outstanding
Defeased Securities, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in (a) and (b) below, and to have satisfied all its
other obligations under such Defeased Securities and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which shall survive
until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (a) the rights of Holders of outstanding Defeased Securities to receive solely from the trust fund under Section 8.04 hereof, and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in
respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Defeased Securities when such payments are due, (b) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Defeased Securities under Article 2 and Section 4.01 hereof,
(c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Company’s obligations in connection therewith and (d) this Article 8. Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Company may exercise its
option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03 hereof. If the Company exercises its Legal Defeasance option, payment of the Securities of the applicable series may not be accelerated
because an Event of Default with respect thereto. 
 Section 8.03 Covenant Defeasance. 

Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option (if any) to have this Section 8.03 applied to any
Securities of any series the Company shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from its obligations under Articles 5, Section 6.01(c), Section 6.01(d) and Sections 6.01(e) and
6.01(f) hereof with respect only to Significant Subsidiaries and such other provisions as may be provided as contemplated by Section 2.03(a) hereof with respect to Securities of a particular series and with respect to the outstanding Defeased
Securities on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Defeased Securities shall thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the
purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders of such Defeased Securities (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other
purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Defeased Securities shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Defeased Securities, the Company may
omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any
reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of
this Indenture and such Defeased Securities shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions
set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Sections 6.01(c) and (d), and 

  
 34 









 
Sections 6.01(e) and (f) with respect only to Significant Subsidiaries, hereof shall not constitute Events of Default. 

Section 8.04 Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance. 

The following shall be the conditions to the application of either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof to a series of outstanding Securities:

 Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.03(a) hereof with respect to any series of Securities, in order
to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance: 
 (a) the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in
trust, for the benefit of the Holders, cash, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the outstanding Securities of such series on
the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable Redemption Date, as the case may be; 
 (b) in the case of an election
under Section 8.02 hereof, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that (A) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (B) since the
date this Indenture was first executed, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding Securities of
such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the
case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred; 
 (c) in the case of an election under Section 8.03 hereof, the Company
shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that the Holders of the outstanding Securities of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and
will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred; and 

(d) the Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, as applicable, shall not result in or constitute a Default or Event of Default under
this Indenture. 
 Section 8.05 Deposited Money and Government Securities to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous
Provisions. 
 Subject to Section 8.06 hereof, all money and non-callable Government Securities (including the proceeds
thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in respect of the outstanding Defeased Securities shall be held in
trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Defeased Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as Paying Agent) as


  
 35 









 
the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Defeased Securities of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest, but such money need not be
segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any
tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other
charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Defeased Securities. 
 Anything in this Article 8 to
the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the request of the Company any money or non-callable Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof which in the opinion
of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal
Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 
 Section 8.06 Repayment to Company. 

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,
premium, if any, or interest on any Securities of a series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, and premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on its request or (if then held by the
Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such series of Securities shall thereafter look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all
liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published
once, in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication,
any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company. 
 Section 8.07 Reinstatement.

 If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any cash or non-callable Government Securities in accordance with
Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be, 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 Defeased Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance
with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Company makes any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Defeased Securities following the reinstatement of its
obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Defeased Securities to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

 Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Company and the Trustee may amend this Indenture or the Securities of any series with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal
amount of the Securities of such series then outstanding voting as a single class (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, such Securities), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof

Upon the request of the Company, and upon delivery to the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders
of Securities as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of such amended or supplemental Indenture unless such amended or
supplemental Indenture directly affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or 

  
 38 









 
immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental Indenture. 

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders of Securities under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any
proposed amendment or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 
 After an amendment,
supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders of Securities affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to mail such
notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental indenture or waiver.

series held by a non-consenting Holder): 
 (a) reduce the amount of Securities whose Holders must consent to an amendment, or
waiver; 
 (b) reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest, including default interest, on any Security;

 (c) reduce the principal of, premium on or any mandatory sinking fund payment with respect to, or change the Stated Maturity

(g) make any change in the percentage of principal amount of Securities necessary to waive compliance with certain provisions of this
Indenture pursuant to Section 6.04 or 6.07 or make any change in this sentence of Section 9.02; 
 (h) waive a
continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, premium (if any) or interest on the Securities; 
 (i)
modify the provisions relating to the ranking or priority of any of the Securities in a manner adverse to the Holder of that Security; or

 Section 9.03 Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. 

Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Securities of any series shall be set forth in an amended or supplemental Indenture
that complies with the TIA as then in effect. 
 Section 9.04 Revocation and Effect of Consents. 

Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Security is a continuing consent by the
Holder of a Security and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Security. However, any such Holder of a
Security or subsequent Holder of a Security may revoke the consent as to its Securities if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the waiver, supplement or amendment becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver
becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder. 
 Section 9.05 Notation on or
Exchange of Securities. 
 The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any
Security of a series thereafter authenticated. The Company in exchange for all Securities of a series may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a Company Order, authenticate new Securities of such series that reflect the amendment, supplement
or waiver. Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Security shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver. 
 Section 9.06 Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc. 
 The Trustee shall sign
any amended or supplemental Indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture,
the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) shall be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 13.04 hereof, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel
stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. 

Section 9.07 Effect of Supplemental Indentures. 
 Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article 9, this Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such supplemental indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all
purposes; and every Holder of Securities theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby, except to the extent otherwise set forth thereon.

 Section 12.01 Satisfaction and Discharge. 
 Except as otherwise
contemplated by 2.03(a) hereof, this Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect with respect to any series of Securities specified by the Company, and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, will execute proper
instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as to such series when: 
 (a) either: 

(i) all Securities of such series theretofore authenticated and delivered (except lost, stolen or destroyed Securities of
such series that have been replaced or paid and Securities of such series for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such
trust) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or 
 (ii) all Securities of such series that have
not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (A) have become due and payable, (B) will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year or (C) if redeemable at the option of the Company, have been called for

deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee funds in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal of, premium, if any, and
accrued interest on the Securities of such series to the date of deposit together with irrevocable instruction from the Company directing the Trustee to apply such funds to the payment thereof at maturity or redemption, as the case may be;

either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest for whose payment such money has
been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any funds in accordance with Section 12.01 hereof by reason of any legal
proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Securities of such series shall be
revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 12.01 hereof; provided that if the Company has made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Securities of such series because of the
reinstatement 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 funds held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

 [If applicable, insert — The Securities of this series will be represented by one or more Global Securities registered
in the name of                  , (the “Depositary”), or a nominee of the Depositary. So long as the Depositary, or its nominee, is the
registered holder and owner of this Global Security, the Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner and holder of the Securities for all purposes under the Indenture. The Global Security may be transferred, in
whole and not in part, only to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary. The Depositary will credit, on its book-entry registration and transfer system, the respective principal amounts of the Securities represented by such Global
Security to the accounts of institutions that have accounts with the Depositary or its nominee (“participants”). Ownership of beneficial interests in a Global Security will be shown on, and the transfer of those ownership interests will be
effected through, records maintained by the Depositary (with respect to participants’ interests) and such participants (with respect to the owners of beneficial interests in such Global Security).]

like tenor as such Global Security in denominations of $1,000 and in any greater amount that is an integral multiple thereof if (i) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for this Global
Security or if at any time the Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (ii) the Company in its discretion at any time determines not to have all of the Securities of this
series represented by the Global Security and notifies the Trustee thereof, or (iii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Securities. Any Security that is exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence is
exchangeable only for Securities of this series.]

exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 
 7. Persons Deemed Owners.

treated as its owner for all purposes.

least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of each series affected by such amendment or supplement and any existing default or compliance with any provision may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of each series affected by such waiver. Without the consent of any Holder of a Securities of each series affected by such 

  
 A-5

any additional Events of Default with respect to the Securities; (f) supplement any of the provisions of the Indenture to such extent as shall be necessary to permit or facilitate the defeasance and discharge of any series of Securities

this Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act; (h) add any Guarantee with respect to the Securities; (i) evidence or provide for acceptance of appointment of a successor Trustee and to 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, pursuant to the requirements of Section 7.08 of the Indenture; (j) mortgage, hypothecate or grant a security
interest in favor of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of Securities as additional security for the payment and performance of the Company’s obligations herein in any property or assets; (k) add to, change or eliminate any of the
provisions of this Indenture (which addition, change or elimination may apply to one or more series of Securities), provided that, any such addition, change or elimination set forth in clause (k) above (A) shall neither
(x) apply to any Security of any series created prior to the execution of such supplemental indenture and entitled to the benefit of such provision nor (y) modify the rights of the Holder of any such Security with respect to such provision
or (B) shall become effective only when there is no such outstanding Security; (l) make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder; or (m) effect any provision of the Indenture or to make certain changes to the
Indenture to provide for the issuance of additional Securities. 
 9. Defaults and Remedies. 

Events of Default include: (a) default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on the Securities; (b) default in payment

Company to comply with Section 5.01 of the Indenture; (d) failure by the Company for 60 days to comply with certain other agreements in this Indenture or the Securities; and (e) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect
to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary. If any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (e) or (f) of Section 6.01 hereof with respect to the Company or any of
its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities may declare the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on
all the Securities to be due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency involving the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries


  
 A-6









 
that is a Significant Subsidiary, the principal of and interest on all outstanding Securities shall be ipso facto immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on
the part of the Trustee or any Holders of the Securities. Holders may not enforce this Indenture or the Securities except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding
Securities may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Securities notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of
principal or interest) if it in good faith determines that withholding notice is in their best interest. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders
of all of the Securities waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under this Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the Securities
(including in connection with an offer to repurchase). The Company is required to deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, a certificate indicating whether the signers thereof know of any Default that occurred
during the previous year. The Company is required to deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after the occurrence thereof, written notice of any event which would constitute certain Defaults, their status and what action it is taking or proposes to
take in respect thereof. 
 10. Trustee Dealings with Company. 

The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company or its
Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee. 
 11.
No Recourse Against Others. 
 A director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Company, as such, shall
not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Securities or this Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Security waives and releases
all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Securities.
