 RECITALS OF
THE COMPANY 
 The Company has duly authorized the creation and issuance of its (i) 6.085% Senior Notes
due 2017 and 6.593% Senior Notes due 2037 issued on the date hereof and (ii) Additional Securities (as defined herein) and Exchange Securities (as defined herein) that may be issued on any Issue Date (all such notes and securities referred to

 All things necessary to make this Indenture a
valid agreement of the Company, in accordance with its terms, have been done. 
 NOW, THEREFORE,
THIS INDENTURE WITNESSETH: 
 For and in consideration of the premises and the purchase of the
Securities by the Holders thereof, it is mutually agreed, for the equal and proportionate benefit of all Holders of the Securities or of any series thereof, as follows: 
 ARTICLE ONE 
 DEFINITIONS AND OTHER PROVISIONS

 OF GENERAL APPLICATION 
 SECTION 101. Definitions. 
 For all
purposes of this Indenture, except as otherwise expressly provided or unless the context otherwise requires: 
 (1) the terms
defined in this Article have the meanings assigned to them in this Article and include the plural as well as the singular; 
 (2) all other terms used herein which are defined in the Trust Indenture Act, either directly or by reference therein, have the meanings assigned to them therein; 
 (3) all accounting terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, and, except as otherwise herein expressly provided, the term “generally accepted accounting principles” with respect to any computation required or permitted hereunder shall mean such accounting principles as are
generally accepted at the date of such computation; 
  







 (4) unless the context otherwise requires, any reference to an “Article”
or a “Section” refers to an Article or a Section, as the case may be, of this Indenture; and 
 (5) the words
“herein”, “hereof” and “hereunder” and other words of similar import refer to this Indenture as a whole and not to any particular Article, Section or other subdivision. 
 “Act”, when used with respect to any Holder, has the meaning specified in Section 104. 
 “Additional Securities“ means, with respect to a series of Securities, further Securities of that series having the same terms
and ranking equally and ratably with the Original Securities in all respects, or in all respects except for (i) the payment of interest accruing prior to the Issue Date for such Additional Securities, (ii) the first payment of
interest following the Issue Date of such Additional Securities or (iii) the Issue Date; provided that, any Additional Securities will be consolidated and form a single series with the Original Securities of such series and
shall have the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise as the Original Securities of such series; provided further that any Additional Securities may be issued pursuant to authorization provided by a Board Resolution,
a Supplemental Indenture, or under an Officers’ Certificate pursuant to Section 301. 
 “Affiliate“ of any
specified Person means any other Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with such specified Person. For the purposes of this definition, “control” when used with respect
to any specified Person means the power to direct the management and policies of such Person, directly or indirectly, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise; and the terms “controlling” and
“controlled” have meanings correlative to the foregoing. 
 “Agent Member“ means any member of, or
participant in, the Depositary. 
 “Applicable Procedures“ means, with respect to any transfer or transaction involving a
Global Security or beneficial interest therein, the rules and procedures of the Depositary for such Security, Euroclear and Clearstream, in each case to the extent applicable to such transaction and as in effect from time to time. 
 “Attributable Debt” means the lesser of (1) the fair market value of the asset subject to the Sale and Leaseback Transaction and
(2) the present value, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (discounted at a rate equal to the rate of interest implicit in such transaction) of the obligations of the lessee for the net rental payments
(excluding amounts on account of maintenance and repairs, insurance, taxes, assessments and similar charges and contingent rents) during the term of the lease. 
 “Authenticating Agent” means any Person authorized by the Trustee pursuant to Section 614 to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of one or more series. 
  

 2 








 “Below Investment Grade Rating Event” means the Securities of a series are rated below
an Investment Grade Rating by each of the Rating Agencies (as defined below) on any date from the date of the public notice of an arrangement that could result in a Change of Control until the end of the 60-day period following public notice of the
occurrence of the Change of Control (which 60-day period shall be extended so long as the rating of the Securities of such series is under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade by any of the Rating Agencies); provided that a
Below Investment Grade Rating Event with respect to such series otherwise arising by virtue of a particular reduction in rating shall not be deemed to have occurred in respect to a particular Change of Control (and thus shall not be deemed a Below
Investment Grade Rating Event for purposes of the definition of Change of Control Triggering Event hereunder), if the Rating Agencies making the reduction in rating to which this definition would otherwise apply do not announce or publicly confirm
that the reduction was the result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, the applicable Change of Control (whether or not the applicable Change of Control shall have occurred at
the time of the Below Investment Grade Rating Event). 
 “Board of Directors” means either the board of directors of the
Company or any duly authorized committee of that board. 
 “Board Resolution” means a copy of a resolution certified by the
Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company to have been duly adopted by the Board of Directors and to be in full force and effect on the date of such certification, and delivered to the Trustee. 
 “Business Day”, when used with respect to the Place of Payment, means each Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday which is not

 In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one
such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or
give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents. 
 Any certificate or opinion of an officer of the Company may be based,
insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect
to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate or opinion of counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or
officers of the Company stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Company, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or
representations with respect to such matters are erroneous. 
 Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more
applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.

 SECTION 104. Acts of Holders; Record Dates. 
 Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given, made or taken
by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall
become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes
referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject
to Section 601) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section. 
 The fact and date
of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying
that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute
sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient. 
 The ownership of Securities shall be proved by the Security Register. 
 Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Security and the Holder of every Security issued upon the
registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such
Security. 
 The Company may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series
entitled to give, make or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given, made or taken by Holders of Securities of such series, provided that
the Company may not set a record date for, and the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply with respect to, the giving or making of any notice, declaration, request or direction referred to in the next paragraph. If any record date is set
pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to take the relevant action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date;
provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date. Nothing in this
paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Company from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no


  

 17 








 
action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of
the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Company, at its own expense, shall cause notice of such record
date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Trustee in writing and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 106. 
 The Trustee may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series entitled to join
in the giving or making of (i) any Notice of Default, (ii) any declaration of acceleration referred to in Section 502, (iii) any request to institute proceedings referred to in Section 507(2) or (iv) any direction
referred to in Section 512, in each case with respect to Securities of such series. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be
entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the
applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Trustee from setting a new record date for any action
for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be
construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the
Trustee, at the Company’s expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Company in writing and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the
manner set forth in Section 106. 
 With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto which sets such
record dates may designate any day as the “Expiration Date” and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any earlier or later day; provided that no such change shall be effective unless notice of the proposed new
Expiration Date is given to the other party hereto in writing, and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 106, on or prior to the existing Expiration Date. If an Expiration Date is not designated
with respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto which set such record date shall be deemed to have initially designated the 180th day after such record date as the Expiration Date with respect thereto, subject to its
right to change the Expiration Date as provided in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Expiration Date shall be later than the 180th day after the applicable record date. 
 Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to take any action hereunder with regard to any particular Security may do so with regard to
all or any part of the principal amount of such Security or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such principal amount.

 SECTION 105. Notices, Etc., to Trustee and Company. 
 Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be
made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with, 
 (1) the Trustee by any Holder or by the Company shall be sufficient for
every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Administrative Office, or 
 (2) the Company by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Company
addressed to it at the address of its principal office specified in the first paragraph of this instrument or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company. 
 SECTION 106. Notice to Holders; Waiver. 
 Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such
event, at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date (if any), and not earlier than the earliest date (if any), prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail,
neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice
may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not
be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver. 
 In case by reason of the suspension of regular
mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.

 SECTION 107. Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. 
 If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with a provision of the Trust Indenture Act which is required under such Act to be a part of and govern this Indenture, the latter provision shall control. If any
provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act which may be so modified or excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to apply to this Indenture as so modified or to be excluded, as the case may be.

  

 19 








 SECTION 108. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. 
 The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof. 
 SECTION 109. Successors and Assigns. 
 All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Company shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. 
 SECTION 110. Separability Clause. 
 In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Securities shall be invalid, illegal
or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 
 SECTION 111. Benefits of Indenture. 
 Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities, express or implied, shall give to any
Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder and the Holders, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture. 
 SECTION 112. Governing Law. 
 This Indenture and the Securities shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the law of the State of New York. 
 SECTION 113. No Personal Liability 
 No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Company or the Parent, will have any liability for any obligations of the Company or
the Parent under the Securities, this Indenture, the Support Agreement, 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, and
such waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of such Security. 
 SECTION 114. Legal Holidays. 

In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity of any Security shall not be a Business Day at the Place of Payment,
then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the Securities (other than a provision of any Security which specifically states that such provision shall apply in lieu of this Section)) payment of interest or principal (and
premium, if any) need not be made at the Place of Payment on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at the Place of Payment with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date, or at the
Stated Maturity.

 ARTICLE TWO 
 SECURITY FORMS 
 SECTION 201. Forms Generally. 
 (a) The Securities of each series shall be in substantially the form set forth in this Article, or in such other form as shall be established by or
pursuant to a Board Resolution or in one or more indentures supplemental hereto, in each case with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by this Indenture, and may have such letters,
numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as may be required to comply with the rules of any securities exchange or Depositary therefor or as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the officers
executing such Securities, as evidenced by their execution thereof. If the form of Securities of any series is established by action taken pursuant to a Board Resolution, a copy of an 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 Company Order contemplated by Section 303 for the authentication and delivery of such Securities. 
 The definitive Securities shall be printed, lithographed or engraved on steel engraved borders or may be produced in any other manner, all as determined
by the officers executing such Securities, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities. 
 (b) (i) Securities of a series offered and
sold in their initial distribution in reliance on Regulation S shall be initially issued in the form of one or more temporary Global Securities, in fully registered form without interest coupons, substantially in the form of Security set forth
in Sections 202 and 203, as the case may be, with such applicable legends as are provided for in Section 202 and Section 204, as the case may be. Such Global Securities shall be registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee, and
deposited with the Trustee, at its New York offices, as custodian for the Depositary, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided, for credit to the respective accounts at the Depositary of the depositories
for Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V., as operator of Euroclear and for Clearstream, for credit to the respective accounts of owners of beneficial interests in such Securities or to such other accounts as they may direct. Until such time as the Restricted
Period in respect of securities of a series shall have terminated, such temporary Global Securities shall be referred to herein as “Temporary Regulation S Global Securities”. On or after the termination of the Restricted
Period, interests in any Temporary Regulation S Global Security of a series shall be exchangeable for corresponding interests in an unrestricted Permanent Regulation S Global Security of the same series (each a “Permanent Regulation S Global
Security”) in fully registered form without interest coupons, substantially in the form set forth in Sections 202 and 203, with such applicable legends as are provided for in Section 202 and Section 204 and in accordance with the
immediately following paragraph. 
 (ii) Interests in a Temporary Regulation S Global Security of a series may be exchanged for interests in
a Permanent Regulation S Global Security of the same series only on or after the termination of the Restricted Period with respect to such securities 

  

 21 








 
after delivery by a beneficial owner of an interest therein to Euroclear or Clearstream of a written certification (an “Owner Securities
Certification”) substantially in the form of Annex C-1 hereto, and upon delivery by Euroclear or Clearstream to the Trustee of a written certification (a “Depository Securities Certification”) substantially in the form
attached hereto as Annex C 2. Upon receipt of such certification, the Trustee shall exchange the portion of the Temporary Regulation S Global Security covered by such certification for interests in a Permanent Regulation S Global Security.

 Upon: 
  

	 	(A)	the expiration of the Restricted Period, 

  

	 	(B)	receipt by Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, and the Paying Agent of the certificates described in the preceding paragraph, 

  

	 	(C)	receipt by the Depositary of 

  

	 	(a)	written instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures from an Agent Member directing the Depositary to credit or cause to be credited to a specified Agent
Member’s account a beneficial interest in the Permanent Regulation S Global Security in a principal amount equal to that of the beneficial interest in the Temporary Regulation S Global Security for which the necessary certificates have been
delivered, and 

  

	 	(b)	a written order given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the account of the Agent Member, and the Euroclear or Clearstream account for
which such Agent Member’s account is held, to be credited with, and the account of the Agent Member to be debited for, such beneficial interest, and 

  

	 	(D)	receipt by the Trustee of notification from the Depositary of the transactions described in (C) above, 

 the Trustee, as Security Registrar, shall instruct the Depositary to reduce the principal amount of the Temporary Regulation S Global Security and to increase the
principal amount of the Permanent Regulation S Global Security, by the principal amount of the beneficial interest in such Temporary Regulation S Global Security to be so transferred, and to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the
Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Permanent Regulation S Global Security having a principal amount equal to the amount by which the principal amount of the Temporary Regulation S Global Security was reduced upon such
transfer. The aggregate principal amount of a Permanent Regulation S Global Security of a series may be increased or decreased from time to time by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary, in connection with a
corresponding decrease or increase in the aggregate principal amount, as hereinafter provided. 
  

 22 








 (iii) Until such time as the Restricted Period shall have terminated, investors may hold interests in the
Regulation S Temporary Global Security only through Euroclear and Clearstream, unless delivery of such beneficial interest upon transfer shall be made through a Rule 144A Global Security in accordance with the certification requirements
discussed below in Section 305(b)(v). 
 (c) Securities of a series offered and sold in their initial distribution in reliance on
Rule 144A shall be issued in the form of one or more Global Securities (each, a “Rule 144A Global Security”), in fully registered form without interest coupons, substantially in the form of Security set forth in Sections 202
and 203 with such applicable legends as are provided for in Section 202 and Section 204, except as otherwise permitted herein. Such Global Securities shall be registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee and deposited with the
Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided, for credit to the respective accounts of owners of beneficial interests in such Securities or to such other accounts as
they may direct. The aggregate principal amount of a Rule 144A Global Security of a series may be increased or decreased from time to time by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary, in connection with a
corresponding decrease or increase in the aggregate principal amount, as hereinafter provided.

 SECTION 203. Form of Reverse of Security. 
 This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of
securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of October 22, 2007 (herein called the “Indenture”, which term shall have
the meaning assigned to it in such instrument), between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), and reference
is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are
to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof. 
 The Company may from time to time,
without the consent of the Holders, create and issue Additional Securities and Exchange Securities, so that each such further issue 

  

 25 








 
shall be consolidated and form a single series with the Outstanding Securities of this series. 
 The Securities of this series are subject to redemption upon not less than 30 days’ but not more than 60 days’ notice by mail, at any time, as
a whole or in part, at the election of the Company, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities of this series to be redeemed, and (ii) the Make-Whole Amount, in each case, together with
accrued interest (including Special Interest) to the Redemption Date, if any, but interest installments whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to such Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor
Securities, of record at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates referred to on the face hereof, all as provided in the Indenture. 
 The redemption price will be calculated assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. 
 If a Change of Control
Triggering Event occurs at any time, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Securities of this series Holders of Securities of this series will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or
an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of their Securities of this series pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) on the terms set forth herein. In the Change of Control Offer, the Company
will be required to offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Securities of this series repurchased, to the date of purchase (the
“Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, the Company will be required to mail a notice to Holders of Securities of this series describing the transaction or transactions that
constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase the Securities of this series on the date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed
(the “Change of Control Payment Date”), pursuant to the procedures required herein and described in the notice. The Company must comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and
regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Securities of this series as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any
securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions of the Securities of this series, the Company will be required to comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its
obligations under the Change of Control provisions of the Securities of this series by virtue of such conflicts. 
 On the Change of Control
Payment Date, the Company will be required, to the extent lawful, to (i) accept for payment all Securities of this series or portions of Securities of this series properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; (ii) deposit with
the paying agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Securities of this series or portions of Securities of this series properly tendered and (iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Securities of
this series properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate 

  

 26 








 
principal amount of Securities of this series or portions of Securities of this series being purchased. 
 The paying agent will promptly mail to each holder of Securities of this series properly tendered the purchase price for the Securities of this series,
and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each holder a new note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any Securities of this series surrendered; provided that each new
note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. 
 The Company will not be required to make
an offer to repurchase the Securities of this series upon a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and
that third party purchases all Securities of this series properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. 
 In the event of redemption
of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of this series and of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof. 
 The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire indebtedness of this Security or certain restrictive covenants and Events of
Default with respect to this Security , in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture. 
 If an Event of
Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. 
 The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time
Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all
Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be
conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is
made upon this Security. 
 As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have the

principal amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect
of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction
inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for
the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

forth in Section 204 whether such Global Securities shall be in the form of Restricted Securities or Regulation S Securities and any circumstances in addition to or in lieu of those set forth in Clause (2) of the last paragraph of
Section 305(a) in which any such Global Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for Securities registered, and any transfer of such Global Security in whole or in part may be registered, in the name or names of Persons other than the

 At any time and from time to time after the execution and
delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series executed by the Company to 

  

 33 








 
the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with the
Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. If the form or terms of the Securities of the series have been established by or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions as permitted by Sections 201 and 301, in authenticating
such Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 601) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of
Counsel stating, 
 (1) if the form of such Securities has been established by or pursuant to Board Resolution as permitted by
Section 201, that such form has been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; 
 (2) if the terms
of such Securities have been established by or pursuant to Board Resolution as permitted by Section 301, that such terms have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and 
 (3) that such Securities, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any
conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and
similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles. 
 If such form or terms have been so
established, the Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Securities if the issue of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or
otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. 
 Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 301 and of the
preceding paragraph, in the case of any Additional Securities or Exchange Securities of a series, it shall not be necessary to deliver the Officers’ Certificate otherwise required pursuant to Section 301 or the Company Order and Opinion of
Counsel otherwise required pursuant to such preceding paragraph at or prior to the authentication of each Additional Security or Exchange Security of such series if such documents are delivered at or prior to the authentication upon original
issuance of the first Original 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 executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has
been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security to the
Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 309, for 

  

 34 








 
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. 
 Holders of the Securities and the Trustee are entitled to the benefits of the Support Agreement available to
Lenders (as defined in the Support Agreement), it being understood and agreed that the Securities constitute Debt (as defined in the Support Agreement) for purposes of the Support Agreement. 
 SECTION 304. Temporary Securities. 
 Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or
otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers
executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities. 
 If temporary Securities of any series are
issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities of that series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities of such series, the temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for
definitive Securities of such series upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such series at the office or agency of the Company in the Place of Payment for that series, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one
or more temporary Securities of any series, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor one or more definitive Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and
aggregate principal amount. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series and tenor. 
 SECTION 305. Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange; Certain Transfers and Exchanges. 
 (a) Registration, Restriction of Transfer and Exchange, Generally. The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Operations Office of
the Trustee a register (the register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency of the Company in the Place of Payment being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to
such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Securities and of transfers of Securities. The Trustee is hereby appointed “Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering
Securities and transfers of Securities as herein provided. 
 Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of a series at the
office or agency of the Company in the Place of Payment for that series, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of the same
series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount. 
  

 35 








 Subject to this Section 305(a) and Section 305(b), at the option of the Holder, Securities of
any series may be exchanged for other Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities
are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 
 All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same
debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 
 Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Company and the Security Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. 
 Successive
registrations and registrations of transfers and exchanges as aforesaid may be made from time to time as desired, and each such registration shall be noted on the Security Register. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges
pursuant to Section 304, 906 or 1107 not involving any transfer. 
 If the Securities of any series (or of any series and specified
tenor) are to be redeemed in part, the Company shall not be required (A) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Securities of that series (or of that series and specified tenor, as the case may be) during a period beginning at the
opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of any such Securities selected for redemption under Section 1103 and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (B) to register
the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part. 
 The provisions of Clauses (1), (2), (3), (4) and (5) below shall apply only to Global Securities: 
 (1) Each Global Security authenticated under this Indenture shall be registered in the name of the Depositary designated for such Global Security or a nominee thereof and delivered to such Depositary or a nominee
thereof or custodian therefor, and each such Global Security shall constitute a single Security for all purposes of this Indenture. 
 (2) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture or the Securities, no Global Security of any series may be exchanged in whole or in part for Securities of that series registered, and no transfer of a Global Security of a series in
whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than 

  

 36 








 
the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof unless (A) such Depositary (i) has notified the Company that it is unwilling or unable
to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or (ii) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, or in the case of a Global note held for an account of Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, Euroclear or
Clearstream, as the case may be case may be, (y) is closed for business for a continuous period of 14 days (other than by reason of statutory or other holidays) or (z) announces an intention permanently to cease business or does in fact do
so, or (B) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to such Global Security. 
 (3)
Subject to Clause (2) above, any exchange of a Global Security of a series for other Securities of that series may be made in whole or in part, and all Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security of a series or any portion thereof shall
be registered in such names as the Depositary for such Global Security shall direct and shall bear any legends required hereunder. 
 (4) Every Security authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Security or any portion thereof, whether pursuant to this Section, Section 304, 306, 906 or 1107 or otherwise,
shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Security, unless such Security is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof. 
 (5) No Agent Members nor any other Persons on whose behalf Agent Members may act (including Euroclear and Clearstream and account holders
and participants therein and any holder or owner of any beneficial interest in any Global Security) shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Security, or under any Global Security, and the Depositary or such nominee, as
the case may be, may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner and holder of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent
the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, or impair, as between the Depositary,
its Agent Members and any other person on whose behalf an Agent Member may act, the operation of customary practices of such Persons governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of any Security. Neither the Company, the Trustee nor the
Securities Registrar shall have any liability in respect of any transfers effected by the Depositary or by any Agent Member or any other Person that acquires a beneficial interest in a Security. Neither the Trustee nor the Depositary shall have any
duty or obligation to monitor compliance with any restrictions on transfer with respect to the transfer of any interest in the Securities (including transfers between Agent Members or any such other Persons that acquire a beneficial interest in a
Security) other than to require delivery of any documents or certificates specifically required by this Indenture. 
  

 37

that series but is not itself a Global Security pursuant to Section 305(a). No transfer of a Security of a series to any Person shall be effective under this Indenture or the Securities unless and until such Security has been registered in the
name of such Person. Nothing in this Section 305(b)(i) shall prohibit or render ineffective any transfer of a beneficial interest in a Global Security effected in accordance with the other provisions of this Section 305(b). 
 (ii) Temporary Regulation S Global Security. If the owner of a beneficial interest in a Temporary Regulation S Global Security of a series wishes
at any time to transfer such interest to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in such Temporary Regulation S Global Security, such transfer may be effected, subject to the rules and procedures of the
Depositary, Euroclear and Clearstream, in each case to the extent applicable and as in effect from time to time (the “Applicable Procedures”), only in accordance with this Section 305(b)(ii). Upon delivery (a) by a

interest in the Rule 144A Global Security having a principal amount equal to the amount by which the principal amount of the Temporary Regulation S Global Security or the Permanent Regulation S Global Security, as the case may be, was reduced upon

given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures from an Agent Member directing the Depositary to credit or cause to be credited to a specified Agent Member’s account a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Security, the Temporary
Regulation S Global Security or the Permanent Regulation S Global Security, as the case may be, in a specified principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Restricted Security (or portion thereof) to be so transferred, (B) a written
order given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the account of the Agent Member (and, in the case of any transfer pursuant to Regulation S, the Euroclear and Clearstream account for which such Agent
Member’s account is held, or if such account is held for Euroclear or Clearstream, the Euroclear or Clearstream account, as the case may be) to be credited with such beneficial interest, and (C) an appropriately completed certificate
substantially in the form set forth in Annex D-1 hereto, if the specified account is to be credited with a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Security, or Annex D-2 hereto, if the specified account is to be credited
with a beneficial interest in the Temporary Regulation S Global Security or the Permanent Regulation S Global Security, given by the holder of such beneficial interest, and (2) the Trustee of (A) the Restricted Security to be so
transferred, (B) the notification from the Depositary of the transaction described in (1) above and (C) the certificate described in (1)(C) above, the Trustee, as Security Registrar, shall cancel such Restricted Security (and
issue a new Security in respect of any untransferred portion thereof) as provided in Section 305(a) and increase the principal amount of the Rule 144A Global Security, Temporary Regulation S Global Security or Permanent Regulation S Global
Security, as the case may be, by the specified principal amount as provided in Section 305(b)(iii). 
 The Trustee shall not be required
to accept for such registration of transfer or exchange any Restricted Security unless the Trustee and the Company are satisfied that 

  

 40 








 
such transfer or exchange is being effected in compliance with the restrictions on transfer as set forth in this Indenture and in such Security. 

(vii) Other Exchanges. (1) In the event that a Global Security or any portion thereof is exchanged for Securities other than Global
Securities, such other Securities may in turn be exchanged (on transfer or otherwise) for Securities that are not Global Securities or for beneficial interests in a Global Security (if any is then outstanding) only in accordance with such
procedures, which shall be substantially consistent with the provisions of clauses (i) through (vi) above and (viii) below (including the certification requirements intended to insure that transfers and exchanges of beneficial
interests in a Global Security comply with Rule 144A, Rule 144 (if available) or Regulation S, as the case may be) and any Applicable Procedures, as may be from time to time adopted by the Company and the Trustee; provided that
except as permitted in (3) hereof, no beneficial interest in a Temporary Regulation S Global Security shall be exchangeable for a definitive Security until the expiration of the Restricted Period and then only if the certifications described in
Section 201 shall have been provided in respect of such interest. 
 (2) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 305,
an initial purchaser named as such in the Purchase Agreement in respect of the Securities of a series may exchange beneficial interests in the Temporary Regulation S Global Securities of that series held by it for one or more Restricted
Securities of that series (including an interest in the Rule 144A Global Security of that series) upon delivery by such initial purchaser of instructions for such exchange substantially in the form of Annex E. Upon receipt of the
instruction described in the preceding sentence, the Trustee shall instruct the Depositary to reduce the principal amount of a Temporary Regulation S Global Security by the principal amount of the beneficial interest in such Temporary Regulation S
Global Security to be so transferred and either (A) the Trustee shall instruct the Depositary to increase the principal amount of the Rule 144A Global Security and credit or cause to be credited to the account of such initial purchaser a
beneficial interest in such Rule 144A Global Security having a principal amount equal to the amount by which the principal amount of the Temporary Regulation S Global Security was reduced upon such transfer or (B) authenticate and deliver one
or more Restricted Securities in definitive form and in the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Temporary Regulation S Global Security to be so transferred, pursuant to the instructions described in the first sentence of
this paragraph. 
 (viii) Interests in Temporary Regulation S Global Security to be Held Through Euroclear or Clearstream. Until the
termination of the Restricted Period, interests in the Temporary Regulation S Global Securities may be held only through Agent Members acting for and on behalf of Euroclear and Clearstream, provided that this clause (viii) shall not
prohibit any transfer in accordance with Section 305(b)(v) hereof. 
 (ix) In addition to the foregoing, the Trustee, as Security
Registrar, shall effect and register, upon receipt of a written request from the Company to do so, a transfer not otherwise permitted by this Section 305(b), such registration to be done in accordance with the otherwise applicable provisions of
this Section 305, upon the furnishing by the proposed transferor or transferee of a written opinion of counsel (which opinion and counsel are satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee) to the effect that, and such other 

  

 41 








 
certifications or information as the Company or the Trustee may require to confirm that, the proposed transfer is being made pursuant to an exemption from,
or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The Company may require such transfer to be effected by the issuance of certificated Securities. 
 (c) Securities Act Legends. Restricted Securities and their Successor Securities shall bear the legends required by Section 202 and
Section 204, subject to the following: 
 (i) subject to the following Clauses of this Section 305(c), a Security of a series or
any portion thereof which is exchanged, upon transfer or otherwise, for a Global Security of that series or any portion thereof shall bear the Securities Act Legend borne by such Global Security while represented thereby; 
 (ii) subject to the following Clauses of this Section 305(c), a new Security of a series which is not a Global Security and is issued in exchange
for another Security of that series (including a Global Security) or any portion thereof, upon transfer or otherwise, shall bear the Securities Act Legend borne by such other Security, provided that, if such new Security is required pursuant
to Section 305(b)(v) to be issued in the form of a Restricted Security, it shall bear a Restricted Securities Legend and, if such new Security is so required to be issued in the form of a Regulation S Security, it shall bear a
Regulation S Legend; 
 (iii) Registered Securities and Regulation S Securities that are not Temporary Regulations S Securities
shall not bear a Securities Act Legend; 
 (iv) at any time after the Securities of a series may be freely transferred without registration
under the Securities Act or without being subject to transfer restrictions pursuant to the Securities Act, a new Security of that series which does not bear a Securities Act Legend may be issued in exchange for or in lieu of a Security of that
series (other than a Global Security) or any portion thereof which bears such a legend if the Trustee has received an Unrestricted Securities Certificate, satisfactory to the Trustee and duly executed by the Holder of such legended Security or his
attorney duly authorized in writing, and after such date and receipt of such certificate, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver such a new Security in exchange for or in lieu of such other Security as provided in this Article Three; 

(v) a new Security of a series which does not bear a Securities Act Legend may be issued in exchange for or in lieu of a Security of that series
(other than a Global Security) or any portion thereof which bears such a legend if, in the Company’s judgment, placing such a legend upon such new Security is not necessary to ensure compliance with the registration requirements of the
Securities Act, and the Trustee, at the direction of the Company, shall authenticate and deliver such a new Security as provided in this Article Three; and 
 (vi) notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 305(c), a Successor Security of a Security of a series that does not bear a particular form of Securities Act Legend shall not bear such form of
legend unless the Company has reasonable cause to believe that such Successor Security is a “restricted security” within the meaning of 

  

 42 








 
Rule 144 under the Securities Act, in which case the Trustee, at the direction of the Company, shall authenticate and deliver a new Security of that
series bearing a Restricted Securities Legend in exchange for such Successor Security as provided in this Article Three. 
 SECTION 306.
Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities. 
 If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall
execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 
 If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security and
(ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide
purchaser, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not
contemporaneously outstanding. 
 In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and
payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security. 
 Upon the issuance of any new Security
under this Section, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected
therewith. 
 Every new Security of any series issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall
constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and
proportionately with any and all other Securities of that series duly issued hereunder. 
 The provisions of this Section are exclusive and
shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities. 
 SECTION 307. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved. 
 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. 
 Any interest on any Security of any series which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any
Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted  

  

 43 








 
Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such
Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in Clause (1) or (2) below: 
 (1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date
for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security of such series and the date of the
proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for
such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this Clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record
Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed
payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be
given to each Holder of Securities of such series in the manner set forth in Section 106, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date
therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and
shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following Clause (2). 
 (2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted
Interest on the Securities of any series in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice
given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this Clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. 
 Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest
accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security. 
 SECTION 308. Persons Deemed Owners. 
 Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the
Person in whose name such Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and any premium and (subject to Section 307) any 

  

 44 








 
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. 
 SECTION 309. Cancellation. 
 All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange or for credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if
surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder
which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and
sold, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this
Indenture. All cancelled Securities held by the Trustee shall be disposed of as directed by a Company Order. 
 SECTION 310. Computation
of Interest. 
 Interest on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

 ARTICLE FOUR 
 SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE 
 SECTION 401. Satisfaction and Discharge of
Indenture. 
 This Indenture shall upon Company Request cease to be of further effect with respect to a series of Securities (except as
to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of such Securities herein expressly provided for), and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this
Indenture with respect to such series, when 
 (1) either 
 (A) all Securities of such series theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (i) Securities which have been destroyed, lost
or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 306 and (ii) Securities for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the
Company or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 1003) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or 
 (B) all such Securities of such series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation 
  

 45 








 (i) have become due and payable, or 
 (ii) will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year, or 
 (iii) are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of
redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company, 
 and the Company, in the case of (i), (ii) or
(iii) above, has deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for the purpose money in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee
for cancellation, for principal and any premium and interest to the date of such deposit (in the case of Securities which have become due and payable) or to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be; 
 (2) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable with respect to such series of Securities hereunder by the Company;
and 
 (3) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that
all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to such series of Securities have been complied with. 
 Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, with respect to a series of Securities, the obligations of the Company to the Trustee
under Section 607 with respect to such series, the obligations of the Trustee to any Authenticating Agent under Section 614 with respect to such series and, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (B)
of Clause (1) of this Section, the obligations of the Trustee under Section 402 and the last paragraph of Section 1003 with respect to such series shall survive. 
 SECTION 402. Application of Trust Money. 
 Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 401 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities and this
Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal and any premium and interest for whose
payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee. 
  

 46 








 ARTICLE FIVE 
 REMEDIES 
 SECTION 501. Events of Default. 
 “Event of Default”, wherever used herein with respect to Securities of any series, means any one of the following events (whatever the
reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental
body): 
 (1) default in the payment of any interest upon any Security of that series when it becomes due and payable, and
continuance of such default for a period of 30 days; or 
 (2) default in the payment of the principal of or any premium
on any Security of that series; or 
 (3) default in the performance or breach of Section 801 of this Indenture; or

 (4) default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant or warranty of the Company (or the Parent or any Subsidiary, as
applicable) in this Indenture or the Support Agreement with respect to such series of Securities (other than a default in the performance, or breach, of a covenant or warranty where such performance or breach is elsewhere in this Section
specifically dealt with or which has expressly been included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of series of Securities other than that series), and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 60 days after there has been given, by
registered or certified mail, to the Company and the Parent by the Trustee or to the Company, the Parent and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series a written notice specifying such
default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder; provided, however, that except with respect to defaults under or breaches of Section 1008 of this
Indenture, the Trustee, or the Trustee and the Holders of Securities will be deemed to have agreed to an extension of such 60-day period to 120 days so long as corrective action is initiated by the Company or the Parent within such 60-day
period and such corrective action is being diligently pursued; or 
 (5) default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument
under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or the Parent (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Company or the Parent), if that default is caused by a
failure to pay principal at its stated maturity after giving effect to any applicable grace period, or results in the acceleration of such indebtedness prior to its stated maturity and, in each case, the principal amount of such indebtedness,
together with the principal amount of any other indebtedness under which there has been a 

  

 47 








 
payment default after stated maturity or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $100,000,000 or more; or 
 (6) the Company or the Parent (i) is generally not paying, or admits in writing its inability to pay, its debts as they become due,
(ii) files, or consents by answer or otherwise to the filing against it of, a petition for relief or reorganization or arrangement or any other petition in bankruptcy, for liquidation or to take advantage of any bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or other similar law of any jurisdiction, (iii) makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, (iv) consents to the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee or other officer with similar powers with
respect to it or with respect to any substantial part of its property, (v) is adjudicated as insolvent or to be liquidated, or (vi) takes corporate action for the purpose of any of the foregoing; or 
 (7) a court or Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction enters an order appointing, without consent by the Company or the Parent,
as the case may be, a custodian, receiver, trustee or other officer with similar powers with respect to it or with respect to any substantial part of its property, or constituting an order for relief or approving a petition for relief or
reorganization or any other petition in bankruptcy or for liquidation or to take advantage of any bankruptcy or insolvency law of any jurisdiction, or ordering the dissolution, winding-up or liquidation of the Company or the Parent, as the case may
be, or any such petition shall be filed against the Company or the Parent, as the case may be, and such petition shall not be dismissed within sixty (60) days; or 
 (8) a final judgment or judgments for the payment of money in an aggregate amount (to the extent not paid or insured) in excess of
$100,000,000 are rendered against the Company or the Parent and which judgments are not, within sixty (60) days after entry thereof, bonded, discharged or stayed pending appeal, or are not discharged within sixty (60) days after the
expiration of such stay; or 
 (9) any provision of the Support Agreement shall become unenforceable, or the Parent contests
in any manner the validity or enforceability of any such provision. 
 SECTION 502. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and
Annulment. 
 If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 501(6) or 501(7)) with respect to
Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series may declare the principal amount of
all the Securities of that series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount) shall become immediately
due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 501(6) or 501(7) with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs, the principal amount of all the Securities of that series shall automatically, and without
any declaration or other action on the part of the Trustee or any Holder, become immediately due and payable. 
  

 48 








 At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to Securities of any series has been
made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series, by written notice
to the Company, the Parent and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if 
 (1) the Company
or the Parent has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay 
 (A) all overdue interest on all Securities of
that series, 
 (B) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Securities of that series which have become due otherwise
than by such declaration of acceleration and any interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, 
 (C) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and 
 (D) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and counsel; 
 and 
 (2) all Events of Default with respect to Securities of that series, other than the non-payment of the principal of Securities of that
series which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 513. 
 No
such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 SECTION 503. Collection of Indebtedness and
Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. 
 The Company covenants that if 
 (1) default is made in the payment of any interest on any Security when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues
for a period of 30 days, or 
 (2) default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any
Security at the Maturity thereof, 
 the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole
amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal and any premium and interest and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be 

  

 49 








 
legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal and premium and on any overdue interest, at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities,
and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. 
 If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and
enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any
covenant or agreement in this Indenture or the Support Agreement or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy. 
 SECTION 504. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 
 In case of any judicial proceeding relative to
the Company, the Parent (or any other obligor upon the Securities), the property or the creditors of the Company, the Parent or such other obligor, the Trustee shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to take
any and all actions authorized under the Trust Indenture Act in order to have claims of the Holders and the Trustee allowed in any such proceeding. In particular, the Trustee shall be authorized to collect and receive any moneys or other property
payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such
payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 607. 
 No provision of this Indenture shall be
deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the
Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding; provided, however, that the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders, vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a
creditors’ or other similar committee. 
 SECTION 505. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities.

 All rights of action and claims under this Indenture, the Support Agreement or the Securities may be prosecuted and enforced by the
Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery
of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such
judgment has been recovered. 
  

 50 








 SECTION 506. Application of Money Collected. 
 Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in
case of the distribution of such money on account of principal or any premium or interest, upon presentation of the Securities and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid: 
 FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 607; and 
 SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of and any premium and interest on the Securities in respect of
which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Securities for principal and any premium and interest, respectively. 

SECTION 507. Limitation on Suits. 
 No Holder of any Security of any series shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless

 (1) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the
Securities of that series; 
 (2) the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that
series shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder; 
 (3) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request; 
 (4) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such
proceeding; and 
 (5) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day
period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series; 
 it being understood and intended that no one or more
of such Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture or the Support Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders, or to obtain or to seek to
obtain priority or preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture or the Support Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all of such Holders. 
  

 51 








 SECTION 508. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest.

 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, (1) the Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is absolute and
unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and any premium and (subject to Section 307) interest on such Security on the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date)
and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder; and (2) the Holder of any Security shall be considered a Lender (as defined in the Support Agreement) and
shall have all rights of a Lender set forth therein. 
 SECTION 509. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. 
 If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture or the Support Agreement and such
proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders
shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted. 
 SECTION 510. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. 
 Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of Section 306, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to
the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law
or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 
 SECTION 511. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. 
 No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Securities to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an
acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

 SECTION 512. Control by Holders. 
 The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee,
or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Securities of such series, provided that 
  

 52 








 (1) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture,
and 
 (2) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction.

 SECTION 513. Waiver of Past Defaults. 
 The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series waive any past default hereunder with respect
to such series and its consequences, except a default 
 (1) in the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on
any Security of such series (other than the non-payment of principal or interest on such Securities that become due solely because of the acceleration of such Securities), or 
 (2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article Nine cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder
of each Outstanding Security of such series affected. 
 Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default
arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 SECTION 514. Undertaking for Costs. 
 In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, a court may require any party litigant in such suit to file an
undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and may assess costs against any such party litigant, in the manner and to the extent provided in the Trust Indenture Act; provided that neither this Section nor the Trust Indenture Act shall be
deemed to authorize any court to require such an undertaking or to make such an assessment in any suit instituted by the Company. 
 SECTION
515. Waiver of Usury, Stay or Extension Laws. 
 The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at
any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any usury, stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of
this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the
Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

 ARTICLE SIX 
 THE TRUSTEE 
 SECTION 601. Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

 The duties and responsibilities of the Trustee shall be as provided by the Trust Indenture Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have
reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the
conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section. 
 SECTION
602. Notice of Defaults. 
 If a default occurs hereunder with respect to Securities of any series, the Trustee shall give the Holders
of Securities of such series notice of such default as and to the extent provided by the Trust Indenture Act; provided, however, that in the case of any default of the character specified in Section 501(4) with respect to Securities of
such series, no such notice to Holders shall be given until at least 30 days after the occurrence thereof. For the purpose of this Section, the term “default” means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both
would become, an Event of Default with respect to Securities of such series. 
 SECTION 603. Certain Rights of Trustee. 
 Subject to the provisions of Section 601: 
 (1) the Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond,
debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties; 
 (2) any request or direction of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Company Request or Company Order, and
any resolution of the Board of Directors shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution; 
 (3) whenever in the
administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in
the absence of bad faith on its part, rely upon an Officers’ Certificate; 
 (4) the Trustee may consult with counsel and
the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization 

  

 54 








 
and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon; 
 (5) 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 pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such
request or direction; 
 (6) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any
resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further
inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or
by agent or attorney; and 
 (7) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder
either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder. 
 SECTION 604. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities. 
 The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee’s certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the
Company, and neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent assumes any responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture, the Support Agreement or of the Securities.
Neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for the use or application by the Company of Securities or the proceeds thereof. 
 SECTION 605. May Hold Securities. 
 The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any
Security Registrar or any other agent of the Company, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and, subject to Sections 608 and 613, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have
if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Security Registrar or such other agent. 
 SECTION 606. Money Held in
Trust. 
 Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The
Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed with the Company. 
  

 55 








 SECTION 607. Compensation and Reimbursement. 
 The Company agrees 
 (1) to
pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder as the parties shall agree in writing from time to time. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on
compensation of a trustee of an express trust; 
 (2) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to 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; and 
 (3) to indemnify, jointly and severally, the Trustee and its officers, directors,
employees, agents and any predecessor trustee and its officers, directors, employees and agents for, and hold the Trustee harmless against, any and all loss, damage, claims, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred
by it in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder (including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company (including this Section 607) or defending
itself against any claim whether asserted by any Holder or the Company, or liability in connection with the acceptance, exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder). 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 may have one separate counsel and the Company shall pay the
reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

 The obligations of the Company under this Section 607 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or the earlier
resignation or removal of the Trustee. 
 To secure the payment obligations of the Company in this Section 607, 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. Such Lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

 When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 501(6) or 501(7) 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 bankruptcy or insolvency law of any jurisdiction. 
  

 56 








 SECTION 608. Conflicting Interests. 
 If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either eliminate such
interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture. To the extent permitted by such Act, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have a conflicting interest by
virtue of being a trustee under this Indenture with respect to Securities of more than one series. 
 SECTION 609. Corporate Trustee
Required; Eligibility. 
 There shall at all times be one (and only one) Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of each series,
which may be Trustee hereunder for Securities of one or more other series. Each Trustee shall be a Person that is eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act as such and has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If any such
Person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of its supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section and to the extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, the combined
capital and surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall cease to be
eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article. 
 SECTION 610. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor. 
 No resignation or removal of the
Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 611. 
 The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If the
instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 611 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series. 
 The Trustee may be removed at any
time with respect to the Securities of any series by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, delivered to the Trustee and to the Company. 
 If at any time: 
 (1) the
Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 608 after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months, or 
  

 57 








 (2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 609 and shall fail to
resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder, or 
 (3) the Trustee shall become incapable of
acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation,
conservation or liquidation, 
 then, in any such case, (A) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities, or
(B) subject to Section 514, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the
Trustee with respect to all Securities and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees. 
 If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or
become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, with respect to the Securities of one or more series, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with
respect to the Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with
respect to the Securities of any particular series) and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 611. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee
with respect to the Securities of any series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so
appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 611, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the
successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 611, any
Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with
respect to the Securities of such series. 
 The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect
to the Securities of any series and each appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series to all Holders of Securities of such series in the manner provided in Section 106. Each notice shall include the name of
the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and the address of its Corporate Trust Administrative Office. 
 SECTION
611. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. 
 In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to all
Securities, every such successor Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and 

  

 58 








 
deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee
shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company or the successor Trustee,
such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such
successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder. 
 In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor
Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto
wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (1) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and
duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall contain such
provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall
continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and (3) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it
being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or
trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such
successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such
successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect
to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates. 
 Upon request of any such successor
Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in the first or second preceding paragraph, as the case may
be. 
 No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and
eligible under this Article. 
  

 59 








 SECTION 612. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. 
 Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of the Trustee (including the trust created by this Indenture), shall be the successor of the
Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities shall
have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same
effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities. 
 SECTION 613. Preferential Collection of Claims Against
Company. 
 If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities), the Trustee
shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the Company (or any such other obligor). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to Section 311(a) of the Trust
Indenture Act to the extent indicated therein. 
 SECTION 614. Appointment of Authenticating Agent. 
 The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to one or more series of Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of
the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series issued upon original issue and upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 306, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the
benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the
Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an
Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia,
authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of
condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined
capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign
immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section. 
  

 60 








 Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be
consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent
(including the authenticating agency contemplated by this Indenture), shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any
further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent. 
 An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written
notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of
resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable
to the Company and shall give notice of such appointment in the manner provided in Section 106 to all Holders of Securities of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon
acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed
unless eligible under the provisions of this Section. 
 The Trustee agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable
compensation for its services under this Section, and the Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments, subject to the provisions of Section 607. 
 If an appointment with respect to one or more series is made pursuant to this Section, the Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an
alternative certificate of authentication in the following form: 
 This is one of the Securities of the series designated therein referred
to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

 SECTION 801. Company May Consolidate, Etc., Only on Certain Terms.

supplement any provision herein which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision herein, or to make any other change that does not adversely affect the Holders of the Securities; 
 (8) to effect assumption by the Parent pursuant to Section 803; or 
 (9) to comply with the requirements of the Commission in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the Trust
Indenture Act; or 
 (10) to make any amendment to the provisions of this Indenture relating to the transfer and legending of
Securities of any series; provided, however, that (a) compliance with this Indenture as so amended would not result in Securities being transferred in violation of the Securities Act or any other applicable securities law and
(b) such amendment does not materially and adversely affect the rights of Holders to transfer Securities. 
 SECTION 902.
Supplemental Indentures With Consent of Holders. 
 With the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of
the Outstanding Securities of each series affected by such supplemental indenture, by Act 

  

 65 








 
of said Holders delivered to the Company and the Trustee, the Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may enter into an indenture or
indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture relating to such series or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Securities
of such series under this Indenture; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby, 
 (1) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any installment of principal of or interest on, any Security, or reduce the
principal amount thereof or the rate of interest thereon or any premium payable upon the redemption thereof, or reduce the amount of the principal of any Security which would be due and payable upon a declaration of acceleration of the Maturity
thereof pursuant to Section 502, or change any Place of Payment where, or the coin or currency in which, any Security or any premium or interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment
on or after the Stated Maturity thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date), or 
 (2) reduce the
percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, the consent of whose Holders is required for any such supplemental indenture, or the consent of whose Holders is required for any waiver (of compliance with certain
provisions of this Indenture or certain defaults hereunder and their consequences) provided for in this Indenture, or 
 (3)
modify any of the provisions of this Section, Section 513 or Section 1011, except to increase any such percentage or to provide that certain other provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder
of each Outstanding Security affected thereby; provided, however, that this clause shall not be deemed to require the consent of any Holder with respect to changes in the references to “the Trustee” and concomitant changes in this
Section and Section 1011, or the deletion of this proviso, in accordance with the requirements of Sections 611 and 901(6). 
 A supplemental
indenture which changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Securities, or which modifies the rights of the Holders of
Securities of such series with respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture of the Holders of Securities of any other series. 
 It shall not be necessary for any Act of Holders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall
be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof. 
 SECTION 903. Execution of Supplemental Indentures. 
 In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby of the
trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 601) shall 

  

 66 








 
be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this
Indenture. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture which affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. 
 SECTION 904. Effect of Supplemental Indentures. 
 Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article, this Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such supplemental indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes; and
every Holder of Securities theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby. 
 SECTION 905.
Conformity with Trust Indenture Act. 
 Every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article shall conform to the
requirements of the Trust Indenture Act. 
 SECTION 906. Reference in Securities to Supplemental Indentures. 
 Securities of any series authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article may, and shall if
required by the Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Company shall so determine, new Securities of any series so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the
Trustee and the Company, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Securities of such series. 
 ARTICLE TEN 
 COVENANTS

 SECTION 1001. Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest. 
 The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of each series of Securities that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of and any premium and
interest on the Securities of that series in accordance with the terms of the Securities and this Indenture. 
 SECTION 1002. Maintenance
of Office or Agency. 
 The Company will maintain, in the Place of Payment, for any series of Securities, an office or agency where
Securities of that series may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Securities of that series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of
that series and this Indenture may be served. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required
office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Operations Office, and such notices may be served at the Corporate Trust
Administrative Office, of the 

  

 67 








 
Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands. 
 The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Securities of one or more series may be presented or
surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency
in the Place of Payment for Securities of any series for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

 SECTION 1003. Money for Securities Payments to Be Held in Trust. 
 If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect to any series of Securities, it will, on or before each due date of the
principal of or any premium or interest on any of the Securities of that series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal and any premium and interest so becoming due until
such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. 
 Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of Securities, it will, prior to each due date of the principal of or any premium or interest on any Securities of that series, deposit with a
Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such amount, such sum to be held as provided by the Trust Indenture Act, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. 

The Company will cause each Paying Agent for any series of Securities other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in
which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will (1) comply with the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act applicable to it as a Paying Agent and (2) during the
continuance of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities of that series) in the making of any payment in respect of the Securities of that series, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all
sums held in trust by such Paying Agent for payment in respect of the Securities of that series. 
 The Company may at any time, for the
purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held
by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect
to such money. 
 Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the
principal of or any premium or interest on any 

  

 68 








 
Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the
Company on Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of
the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, 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 a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in the City of New York, notice that such money remains
unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company. 
 SECTION 1004. Statement by Officers as to Default. 
 The Company will deliver to the Trustee, (i) within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company ending after the date hereof an Officers’ Certificate, stating whether or not to the best
knowledge of the signers thereof the Company is in default in the performance and observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided hereunder) and
(ii) promptly (and in any event within five Business Days) upon a Responsible Officer of the Company becoming aware of any default, written notice specifying all such defaults and the nature and status thereof of which they may have knowledge.
For the purpose of this Section, the term “default” means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to Securities of such series. 
 SECTION 1005. Existence. 
 Subject to
Article Eight, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights (charter and statutory) and franchises; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required
to preserve any such right or franchise if the Board of Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material
respect to the Holders. 
 SECTION 1006. Maintenance of Properties. 
 The Company will, and will cause the Parent and the Parent’s other Subsidiaries to, maintain and keep, or cause to be maintained and kept, their
respective properties in good repair, working order and condition (other than ordinary wear and tear), so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly conducted at all times, provided, however, that nothing in this
Section shall prevent the Company, the Parent or any of the Parent’s other Subsidiaries from discontinuing the operation or the maintenance of any of its properties or disposing of them if such discontinuance is, in the judgment of the Company,
desirable in the conduct of its business or the business of any Subsidiary and not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders. 
  

 69 








 SECTION 1007. Payment of Taxes and Other Claims. 
 The Company will, and will cause the Parent and each other Subsidiary to, pay and discharge all taxes, assessments, governmental charges, or levies
imposed on them or any of their properties, assets, income or franchises, to the extent the same have become due and payable and before they have become delinquent and all claims for which sums have become due and payable that have or might become a
Lien on properties or assets of the Parent, or the Company or any other Subsidiary, provided, however, that neither the Parent, nor the Company or any other Subsidiary need pay any such tax, assessment, charge, levy or claim if (i) the
amount, applicability or validity thereof is contested by the Parent, the Company or such Subsidiary in good faith and in appropriate proceedings, and the Parent, the Company or such other Subsidiary has established reserves therefor to the extent
required by generally accepted accounting principles on the books of the Parent, the Company or such other Subsidiary or (ii) the nonpayment of all such taxes, assessments, charges, levies and claims in the aggregate is not likely to be
disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders. 
 SECTION 1008. Restrictions on Liens. 
 The Company will not, and will not allow the Parent or any Subsidiary to, create, incur, issue or assume any Liens on the Parent’s or its
Subsidiaries’ respective property to secure Debt where the Debt secured by those Liens would exceed an amount equal to 15% of Consolidated Tangible Total Assets (calculated to exclude Debt secured by Permitted Liens); provided that the
foregoing restriction shall not apply to nor prevent the creation or existence of Permitted Liens. 
 SECTION 1009. Restrictions on Sales
and Leasebacks. 
 The Company will not, and will not allow the Parent or any Subsidiary to, enter into any Sale and Leaseback
Transaction without effectively providing that the Securities will be secured equally and ratably with or prior to the Sale and Leaseback Transaction, unless: 
 (1) the aggregate amount of the Attributable debt of the Company, the Parent and Subsidiaries in respect of Sale and Leaseback
Transactions then outstanding would not exceed an amount equal to 15% of Consolidated Tangible Total Assets, or 
 (2) the
Company, the Parent or any Subsidiary, within 12 months of the Sale and Leaseback Transaction, retire an amount of secured debt which is not subordinate to the Securities in an amount equal to the greater of (A) the net proceeds of the
sale or transfer of the property or other assets that are the subject of the Sale and Leaseback Transaction or (B) the fair market value of the property leased. 
 SECTION 1010. Support Agreement. 
 The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of each series of
Securities that it will not permit the Parent to (a) cancel or terminate the Support Agreement as in 

  

 70 








 
effect on the date of this Indenture or (b) amend or otherwise modify the terms of the Support Agreement, except in accordance with the terms of the
Support Agreement in effect on the date of this Indenture. 
 SECTION 1011. Waiver of Certain Covenants. 
 The Company may, with respect to the Securities of any series, omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth
in any covenant provided pursuant to Section 901(2) or 901(5) for the benefit of the Holders of such series or in any of Sections 1008 to 1010, inclusive, if before the time for such compliance the Holders of at least a majority in
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such term, provision or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or
affect such term, provision or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall
remain in full force and effect. 
 ARTICLE ELEVEN 
 REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES 
 SECTION 1101. Applicability of
Article. 
 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 301 for such Securities) in accordance with this Article. 
 SECTION 1102.
Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee. 
 The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by a Board
Resolution or in another manner specified as contemplated by Section 301 for such Securities. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company of less than all the Securities of any series (including any such redemption affecting only a
single Security), the Company shall, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date, of the
principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed and, if applicable, of the tenor of the Securities to be redeemed. In the case of any redemption of Securities prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the
terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction. 
 SECTION 1103. Selection by Trustee of Securities to Be Redeemed. 
 If less than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed (unless all the Securities of such series and of a specified tenor are to be redeemed or unless such redemption affects only a single Security), the
particular Securities to be redeemed shall 

  

 71 








 
be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series not previously called for
redemption as follows: 
 (1) if the Securities of such series are listed on any National Securities Exchange, in compliance
with the requirements of the principal National Securities Exchange on which such Securities are listed; or 
 (2) if the
Securities of such series are not listed on any National Securities Exchange, on a pro rata basis, by lot; 
 provided that the
unredeemed portion of the principal amount of any Security shall be in a denomination of at least $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 (which shall not be less than $2,000). If less than all the Securities of such series and of a specified tenor
are to be redeemed (unless such redemption affects only a single Security), the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such
series and specified tenor not previously called for redemption in accordance with the preceding sentence. 
 The Trustee shall promptly
notify the Company in writing of the Securities selected for redemption as aforesaid and, in case of any Securities selected for partial redemption as aforesaid, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. 
 The provisions of the two preceding paragraphs shall not apply with respect to any redemption affecting only a single Security, whether such Security is
to be redeemed in whole or in part. In the case of any such redemption in part, the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of the Security shall be in an authorized denomination (which shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination)
for such Security. 
 For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of
Securities shall relate, in the case of any Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Securities which has been or is to be redeemed. 
 SECTION 1104. Notice of Redemption. 
 Notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, at his address appearing in the Security
Register, except that a notice of redemption may be given more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date if such notice is given in connection with a satisfaction and discharge as described in Article Four of this Indenture. Notices of redemption
may not be conditional. 
 All notices of redemption shall state: 
 (1) the Redemption Date, 
 (2) the Redemption Price, 
  

 72 








 (3) if less than all the Outstanding Securities of any series consisting of more than a
single Security are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption of any such Securities, the principal amounts) of the particular Securities to be redeemed and, if less than all the Outstanding Securities of any series
consisting of a single Security are to be redeemed, the principal amount of the particular Security to be redeemed, 
 (4)
that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each such Security to be redeemed and, if applicable, that interest thereon will cease to accrue on and after said date, and 
 (5) the place or places where each such Security is to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price. 
 Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Company shall be given by the Company or, at the Company’s request, by the
Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company and shall be irrevocable. 
 SECTION 1105. Deposit of Redemption Price.

 Prior to any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own
Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the Securities
which are to be redeemed on that date. 
 SECTION 1106. Securities Payable on Redemption Date. 
 Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the
Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest) such Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Security for
redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 301, installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the
relevant Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 307. 
 If any Security called for redemption shall not be
so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal and any premium shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed therefor in the Security. 
 SECTION 1107. Securities Redeemed in Part. 
 Any Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at a Place of Payment therefor (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing), 

  

 73 








 
and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Security or
Securities of the same series and of like tenor, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered.

 SECTION 1201. No Sinking Funds. 
 ARTICLE THIRTEEN 
 DEFEASANCE
AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE 
 SECTION 1301. Company’s Option to Effect Defeasance or
Covenant Defeasance. 
 The Company may elect, at its option at any time, to have Section 1302 or Section 1303 applied to any
Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be, upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article. Any such election shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution. 
 SECTION 1302. Defeasance and Discharge. 
 Upon the Company’s exercise of its option (if any) to have this Section applied to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be, the Company shall be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to
such Securities as provided in this Section on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 1304 are satisfied (hereinafter called “Defeasance”). For this purpose, such Defeasance means that the Company shall be
deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by such Securities and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Securities and this Indenture insofar as such Securities are concerned (and the Trustee, at the
expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), subject to the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (1) the rights of Holders of such Securities to receive, solely
from the trust fund described in Section 1304 and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of and any premium and interest on such Securities when payments are due, (2) the Company’s obligations
with respect to such Securities under Sections 304, 305, 306, 1002 and 1003, (3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and (4) this Article. Subject to compliance with this Article, the Company may
exercise its option (if any) to have this Section applied to any Securities notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option (if any) to have Section 1303 applied to such Securities. 
  

 74 








 SECTION 1303. Covenant Defeasance. 
 Upon the Company’s exercise of its option (if any) to have this Section applied to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be,
(1) the Company shall be released from its obligations under Section 801 and Sections 1006 through 1010, inclusive, and any covenants provided pursuant to Section 301(18), Section 901(2), 901(6) or 901(7) for the benefit of
the Holders of such Securities and (2) the occurrence of any event specified in Sections 501(4) (with respect to any of Section 801 or Sections 1006 through 1010, inclusive, and any such covenants provided pursuant to
Section 301(18), Section 901(2), 901(6) or 901(7)) or Sections 501(5) through 501(10) shall be deemed not to be or result in an Event of Default, in each case with respect to such Securities as provided in this Section on and after the
date the conditions set forth in Section 1304 are satisfied (hereinafter called “Covenant Defeasance”). For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to such 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 specified Section (to the extent so specified in the case of Section 501(4)), whether directly or indirectly by reason of any reference elsewhere
herein to any such Section or by reason of any reference in any such Section to any other provision herein or in any other document, but the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities shall be unaffected thereby. 
 SECTION 1304. Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 
 The following shall be the conditions to the application of Section 1302 or Section 1303 to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be: 
 (1) The Company shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee which satisfies the
requirements contemplated by Section 609 and agrees to comply with the provisions of this Article applicable to it) as trust funds in trust for the purpose of making the following payments, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated
solely to, the benefits of the Holders of such Securities, (A) money in an amount, or (B) U.S. Government Obligations which through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will
provide, not later than one day before the due date of any payment, money in an amount, or (C) a combination thereof, in each case sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a
written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge, and which shall be applied by the Trustee (or any such other qualifying trustee) to pay and discharge, the principal of and any premium and interest on such Securities on
the respective Stated Maturities, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and such Securities. As used herein, “U.S. Government Obligation” means (x) any security which is (i) a direct obligation of the United
States of America for the payment of which the full faith and credit of the United States of America is pledged or (ii) an obligation of a Person controlled or supervised by and acting as an agency or instrumentality of the United States of
America the payment of which is unconditionally guaranteed as a full faith and credit obligation by the United States of America, which, in either case (i) or (ii), is not callable or redeemable at the option of the Company thereof, and
(y) any 

  

 75 








 
depositary receipt issued by a bank (as defined in Section 3(a)(2) of the Securities Act) as custodian with respect to any U.S. Government Obligation
which is specified in Clause (x) above and held by such bank for the account of the holder of such depositary receipt, or with respect to any specific payment of principal of or interest on any U.S. Government Obligation which is so specified
and held, provided that (except as required by law) such custodian is not authorized to make any deduction from the amount payable to the holder of such depositary receipt from any amount received by the custodian in respect of the U.S.
Government Obligation or the specific payment of principal or interest evidenced by such depositary receipt. 
 (2) In the
event of an election to have Section 1302 apply to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (A) the Company has received from, or
there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (B) since the date of this instrument, there has been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law, in either case (A) or (B) to the effect that, and based
thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders of such Securities will not recognize gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit, Defeasance and discharge to be effected with respect to such Securities and will be
subject to Federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would be the case if such deposit, Defeasance and discharge were not to occur. 
 (3) In the event of an election to have Section 1303 apply to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be, the
Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of such Securities will not recognize gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit and Covenant Defeasance to be effected
with respect to such Securities and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would be the case if such deposit and Covenant Defeasance were not to occur. 
 (4) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that neither such Securities nor any
other Securities of the same series, if then listed on any securities exchange, will be delisted as a result of such deposit. 
 (5) No Event of Default with respect to such Securities or any other Securities shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such deposit or, with regard to any such event specified in Sections 501(6) and (7), at any time on or
prior to the 90th day after the date of such deposit (it being understood that this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until after such 90th day). 
 (6) Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not cause the Trustee to have a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act (assuming all Securities are in default within the meaning of such
Act). 
  

 76 








 (7) Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of,
or constitute a default under, any other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound. 
 (8) Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in the trust arising from such deposit constituting an investment company within the meaning of the Investment Company Act unless such trust shall be registered under such Act or
exempt from registration thereunder. 
 (9) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and
an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent with respect to such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance have been complied with. 
 SECTION 1305. Deposited Money and U.S. Government Obligations to Be Held in Trust; Miscellaneous Provisions. 
 Subject
to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all money and U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee or other qualifying trustee (solely for purposes of this Section and
Section 1306, the Trustee and any such other trustee are referred to collectively as the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 1304 in respect of any Securities shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance
with the provisions of such Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any such Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Securities, of
all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal and any premium and interest, but money so held in trust need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations
deposited pursuant to Section 1304 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of Outstanding Securities. 
 Anything in this Article to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company Request any
money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 1304 with respect to any Securities which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof
delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect the Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, with respect to such Securities. 
 SECTION 1306. Reinstatement. 
 If the
Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with this Article with respect to any Securities by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such

Company has been discharged or released pursuant to Section 1302 or 1303 shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to
this Article with respect to such Securities, until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all money held in trust pursuant to Section 1305 with respect to such Securities in accordance with this Article; provided,
however, that if the Company makes any payment of principal of or any premium or interest on any such Security following such reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights (if any) of the Holders of such
Securities to receive such payment from the money so held in trust. 
  

 This instrument may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts
shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.
