receipt by the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate pertaining to such Additional Securities, which Officers’ Certificate will identify the Series to which such Additional Securities belongs and the issue date and aggregate principal amount
of such Additional Securities. Any such Additional Securities shall be issued on original issue as provided in Section 2.3. 

  
 6 








 Additional Securities, together with each prior and subsequent Securities of the same
Series, shall constitute one and the same Series of Securities for all purposes under this Indenture. 
 SECTION 2.2 Form and Dating.

 The Securities and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A annexed
hereto, which is part of this Indenture, with such appropriate insertions, omissions and other variations as are required or permitted by this Indenture, and may have such legends or endorsements placed thereon, as the Officers executing the same
may approve (execution thereof to be conclusive evidence of such approval) and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture. The Securities may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange or securities
association rule or usage. Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. 
 The terms and provisions contained in
the form of Securities annexed hereto as Exhibit A shall constitute, and are expressly made, a part of this Indenture. To the extent applicable, the Company and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such
terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. 
 Securities issued in the form of one or more permanent global Securities in
registered form, substantially in the form as above recited (the “Global Securities”) shall be deposited with or on behalf of the Trustee, as custodian for the Depository, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the
Trustee as hereinafter provided. Each Global Security shall bear the global securities legend substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto and such legend or legends as may be required or reasonably requested by the Depository.

 The aggregate principal amount of the Global Securities may from time to time be increased or decreased, as applicable, by
adjustments made on the records of the Depository or its nominee and the Trustee, as custodian for the Depository, at any time prior to cancellation, if, in accordance with this Indenture and the Securities (including any applicable restrictions on
transfer) any beneficial interest in a Global Security is (a) exchanged for definitive registered Securities, (b) redeemed, (c) repurchased, (d) cancelled, or (e) exchanged for a beneficial interest in another Global
Security. 
 The definitive registered Securities shall be typed, printed, lithographed or engraved or produced by any
combination of these methods or may be produced in any other manner permitted by the rules of any stock exchange or securities association on which the Securities may be listed or quoted, all as determined by the Officers executing such Securities,
as evidenced by their execution of such Securities. 
 SECTION 2.3 Execution and Authentication. 

Two Officers shall sign the Securities for the Company by manual or facsimile signature. 

If an Officer whose signature is on a Security no longer holds that office at the time the Security is authenticated, the Security shall
nevertheless be valid. 
 A Security shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of an authorized signatory
of the Trustee. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been authenticated under this Indenture. 
 The
Trustee shall authenticate Securities upon a written order of the Company signed by two Officers. Such order shall specify the Series and the amount of the Securities to be authenticated and the date on which such Securities are to be authenticated.
The aggregate principal amount of Securities outstanding at any time is unlimited. In authenticating such Securities and in accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled
to receive and shall be fully protected in conclusively relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating, 

  
 7 








 (1) that the form or forms of such Securities have been established in conformity with
the provisions of this Indenture; 
 (2) that the terms of such Securities 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. 
 The Trustee shall initially act as authenticating agent and may subsequently appoint another Person acceptable to the Company as authenticating agent to authenticate Securities. Unless limited by the
terms of such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the
same rights as an Agent to deal with the Company or an Affiliate of the Company. Provided that the authentication agent has entered into an agreement with the Company concerning the authentication agent’s duties, the Trustee shall not be liable
for any act or any failure of the authenticating agent to perform any duty either required herein or authorized herein to be performed by such Person in accordance with this Indenture. 

The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Securities under this Section if the Trustee, being advised
by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith shall determine that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability to existing Holders or would 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. 
 The Securities shall be issued only in registered form without coupons. 
 SECTION
2.4 Registrar and Paying Agent. 
 The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Securities may be presented for
registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”) and an office or agency where Securities may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Securities and of their
transfer and exchange. The Company may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent and the term “Registrar” includes any
co-registrar, provided that there shall only be one register for each Series of Securities. So long as a Series of Securities is listed or quoted on a stock exchange or securities association, the Company shall maintain a co-registrar and a
co-paying agent in such other locations, if any, as such stock exchange or securities association shall require. 
 The Company
shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Registrar or Paying Agent not a party to this Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such agent. The Company shall promptly notify the
Trustee of the name and address of any such agent and any change in the address of such agent. If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor
pursuant to Section 6.7. The Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or transfer agent. 
 The Company initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar and Paying Agent in connection with the Securities. 
 SECTION 2.5 Paying Agent To Hold Money in Trust. 
 On or prior to 11:00 a.m.,
New York City time, on each due date of the principal and interest on any Security, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent a sum of money denominated in the currency of such payment, in immediately available funds, sufficient to pay such
principal and interest in funds available when such becomes due. The Company shall require each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) 

  
 8 








 
to agree in writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Securityholders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of or interest on
the Securities (whether such money has been paid to it by the Company or any other obligor on the Securities) and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Company (or any other obligor on the Securities) in making any such payment. If the
Company or a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of the Company acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money held by it as Paying Agent and hold it as a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Securityholders. If the Company defaults in its
obligation to deposit funds for the payment of principal and interest the Trustee may, during the continuation of such default, require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to
pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed by it. Upon doing so, the Paying Agent (other than the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company) shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the
Trustee. 
 SECTION 2.6 Securityholder Lists. 
 The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Securityholders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the
Company shall furnish to the Trustee at least five Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the
names and addresses of the Securityholders, and the Company shall otherwise comply with TIA Section 312(a). 
 SECTION 2.7 Transfer
and Exchange. 
 The Securities shall be transferable only upon the surrender of a Security to the Registrar for registration of
transfer. When a Security is presented to the Registrar or a co-registrar with a request to register a transfer, the Registrar shall register the transfer as requested if the requirements of Section 8-401(a) of the Uniform Commercial Code are
met (and the Registrar shall be entitled to assume such requirements have been met unless it receives written notice to the contrary) and, if so required by the Trustee or the Company, if the Security presented is accompanied by a written instrument
of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Company, duly executed by the registered owner or by his or her attorney duly authorized in writing, in which case, the Registrar shall deliver, to or at the direction of such registered owner,
one or more new Securities of the same Series, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount. When Securities are presented to the Registrar with a request to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Securities of
the same Series and of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall make the exchange as requested if the same requirements are met. To permit registration of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate Securities at the Registrar’s request. The Depository shall, by acceptance of a Global Security, agree that transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Security may be effected only (a) in accordance with this Indenture
and the Securities represented by such Global Security and (b) through a book- entry system maintained by the Depository (or its agent), and that ownership of a beneficial interest in the Global Security shall be required to be reflected in a
book entry. 
 No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of the Securities, but the Company
may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange pursuant to Section 2.11,
8.5 or 9.6). 
 Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any Security, the Company, the Trustee, the Paying
Agent or the Registrar may deem and treat the person in whose name a Security is registered as the absolute owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest (subject to the record date provisions thereof) on
such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security is overdue, and none of the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.7, unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Securities of any
Series in definitive registered form, a Global Security representing all or a portion of the Securities of a Series may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depository to a nominee of such Depository or by a nominee of such Depository to such
Depository or another nominee of such Depository or by such Depository or any such nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of such successor Depository. 

  
 9 








 If the Depository notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as
Depository for the Global Securities of any Series or if at any time the Depository shall no longer be eligible under the next sentence of this paragraph, the Company shall appoint a successor Depository with respect to such Securities. Each
Depository appointed pursuant to this Section 2.7 must, at the time of its appointment and at all times while it serves as Depository, be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and any other applicable statute or regulation. The
Company will execute, and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver upon a written order of the Company signed by two Officers, Securities in definitive registered form without coupons in any authorized denominations representing Securities of a
Series in exchange for such Global Security or Securities of such Series if (i) the Depository notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for the Global Securities of such Series or if at any time the
Depository shall no longer be eligible to serve as Depository and a successor Depository for the Securities of such Series is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility
or (ii) an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such Series has occurred and is continuing. 
 The Company
may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that the Securities of a Series shall no longer be represented by a Global Security or Securities. In such event the Company will execute, and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver upon a
written order of the Company signed by two Officers, Securities of such Series in definitive registered form without coupons in any authorized denominations representing such Securities in exchange for such Global Security or Securities. 

Upon the exchange of a Global Security for Securities in definitive registered form without coupons pursuant to either of the two
preceding paragraphs, in authorized denominations, such Global Security shall be cancelled by the Trustee. The Depositary shall provide to the Trustee and the Company information with respect to the participants and their holdings pursuant to
instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise. The Trustee shall deliver such Securities to or as directed by the Persons in whose names such Securities are so registered. 

No holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Security held on its behalf by a Depository shall have any rights under this Indenture
with respect to such Global Security, and such Depository may be treated by the Company, the Trustee, and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the owner of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. None of the Company, the Trustee or
any agent of the Company or the Trustee will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Security or maintaining, supervising or reviewing
any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. 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 a Depository or impair, as between a Depository and such holders of beneficial interests, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of the Depository (or its nominee) as Holder of any
Security. 
 The Company shall not be required (A) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Securities of a
Series 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 9.3 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. 

All Securities issued upon any transfer or exchange pursuant to the terms of this Indenture will evidence the same debt and will be
entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Securities surrendered upon such transfer or exchange. 

  
 10 









 SECTION 2.8 Replacement Securities. 

If a mutilated Security is surrendered to the Registrar or if the Holder of a Security claims that the Security has been lost, destroyed
or wrongfully taken and the Holder furnishes to the Company and the Trustee evidence to their satisfaction of such loss, destruction or wrongful taking, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall, in the absence of notice to the Company or the
Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, authenticate a replacement Security of the same Series if the requirements of Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code are met (and the Registrar shall be
entitled to assume such requirements have been met unless it receives written notice to the contrary) and if there is delivered to the Company and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required to save each of them harmless, satisfactory
to the Company and the Trustee. The Company and the Trustee may charge the Holder for their expenses in replacing a Security. 

In case any such mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken 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. 
 Every replacement Security of each Series is an
additional obligation of the Company and shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. 
 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, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Securities. 
 SECTION 2.9 Outstanding Securities. 
 The Securities of each Series
outstanding at any time are all the Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those paid pursuant to Section 2.8 and those described in this Section as not outstanding.

 If a Security is replaced or paid pursuant to Section 2.8, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee and the
Company receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced or paid Security is held by a bona fide purchaser. 
 If all
the principal and interest on any Securities of any Series are considered paid under Section 3.1, the Securities of such Series cease to be outstanding under this Indenture and interest on the Securities of such Series shall cease to accrue.

 If the Paying Agent (other than the Company or a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of the Company) holds in accordance with this
Indenture on a maturity or redemption date money sufficient to pay all principal and interest due on that date with respect to Securities of any Series then on and after that date such Securities cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases
to accrue (unless there shall be a default in such payment). 
 Subject to Section 2.10, a Security does not cease to be
outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate thereof holds the Security. 
 SECTION 2.10 Determination of Holders’ Action.

 In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of any Series of Securities have concurred in any
direction, amendment, waiver or consent, Securities owned by or pledged to the Company, any other obligor upon the Securities or any Affiliate of the Company or such other obligor shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding, except that
for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Securities which the Trustee knows are so owned or pledged shall be so disregarded. 

  
 11 









 SECTION 2.11 Temporary Securities. 

Until definitive Securities of any Series are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary
Securities of such Series. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall
prepare and the Trustee, upon the written order of the Company signed by two Officers, shall authenticate definitive Securities in exchange for temporary Securities. Until such exchange, temporary Securities of any Series shall be entitled to the
same rights, benefits and privileges as definitive Securities of such Series. 
 SECTION 2.12 Cancellation. 

The Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the
Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee shall cancel all Securities surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation and shall deliver to the Company a
certificate of cancellation. The Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities that it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 
 SECTION 2.13 Defaulted Interest. 
 If the Company defaults in a payment of
interest on the Securities of any Series, it shall pay Defaulted Interest, plus any interest payable on the Defaulted Interest to the extent permitted by law, in any lawful manner. It may pay the Defaulted Interest to the Persons who are
Securityholders on a subsequent special record date which date shall be at least five Business Days prior to the payment date. The Company shall fix the special record date and payment date. At least 15 days before the special record date, the
Company (or the Trustee, in the name of and at the expense of the Company) shall mail to Securityholders a notice that states the special record date, payment date and amount of interest to be paid. 

SECTION 2.14. Global Securities. 
 (a) Terms of Securities. A Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officers’ Certificate shall establish whether the Securities of a Series shall be issued in whole or in part
in the form of one or more Global Securities and the Depositary for such Global Security or Securities. 
 (b) Transfer and
Exchange. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained in Section 2.7 of the Indenture and in addition thereto, any Global Security shall be exchangeable pursuant to Section 2.7 of the Indenture for Securities registered in
the names of Holders other than the Depositary for such Security or its nominee only if (i) such Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or if at any time such Depositary
ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and, in either case, the Company fails to appoint a successor Depositary registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act within 90 days of such event or (ii) the
Company executes and delivers to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that such Global Security shall be so exchangeable. Any Global Security that is exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be exchangeable for
Securities registered in such names as the Depositary shall direct in writing in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security with like tenor and terms. 

Except as provided in this Section 2.14(b), a Global Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary with
respect to such Global Security to a nominee of such Depositary, by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such a
successor Depositary. 

  
 12 









 (c) Legend. Any Global Security issued hereunder shall bear a legend in
substantially the following form: 
 “This Security is a Global Security within the meaning of the Indenture hereinafter
referred to and is registered in the name of the Depositary or a nominee of the Depositary. This Security is exchangeable for Securities registered in the name of a person other than the Depositary or its nominee only in the limited circumstances
described in the Indenture, and may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee
to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such a successor Depositary.” 
 (d) Acts of Holders. The Depositary, as a
Holder, may appoint agents and otherwise authorize participants to give or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action which a Holder is entitled to give or take under the Indenture. 

(e) Payments. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Indenture, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 2.1, payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on any Global Security shall be made to the Holder thereof. 

(f) Consents, Declaration and Directions. Except as provided in Section 2.14 (e), the Company, the Trustee and any Agent
shall treat a person as the Holder of such principal amount of outstanding Securities of such Series represented by a Global Security as shall be specified in a written statement of the Depositary with respect to such Global Security, for purposes
of obtaining any consents, declarations, waivers or directions required to be given by the Holders pursuant to this Indenture. 

SECTION 2.15. CUSIP Numbers. 
 The Company in issuing the Securities may use CUSIP numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders;
provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other
elements of identification printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers.

 ARTICLE III 
 COVENANTS 
 SECTION 3.1 Payment of Securities. 

The Company shall pay the principal of and interest on the Securities of each Series on the dates and in the manner provided in such
Securities. The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate borne by or provided for in such Securities; it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the rate borne by or provided for in such Securities to the extent
lawful. Principal and interest shall be considered paid on the date due if the Trustee or the Paying Agent (other than the Company or a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of the Company) has received from or on behalf of the Company money sufficient to pay
all principal and interest then due in accordance with Section 2.5. 
 SECTION 3.2 Maintenance of Office or Agency. 

The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Securities may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange or for
presentation for payment and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities 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 to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the
address of the Trustee set forth in Section 10.2. The Company initially appoints the Trustee as its agency for the foregoing purposes. 

  
 13 









 The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where
the Securities may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations. 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 3.3 Compliance Certificate. 

The Company shall, within 120 days after the close of each fiscal year in which Securities are outstanding hereunder, file with the
Trustee an Officer’s Certificate, provided that one Officer executing the same shall be the principal executive officer, the principal financial officer or the principal accounting officer of the Company, covering the period from the
date of issuance of Securities hereunder to the end of the fiscal year in which the Securities were first issued hereunder, in the case of the first such certificate, and covering the preceding fiscal year in the case of each subsequent certificate,
and stating whether or not, to the knowledge of each such executing Officer, the Company has complied with and performed and fulfilled all covenants on its part contained in this Indenture and is not in Default in the performance or observance of
any of the terms or provisions contained in this Indenture, and, if any such signer has obtained knowledge of any Default by the Company in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any such covenant, term or provision specifying each such
Default and the nature thereof. For the purpose of this Section 3.3, compliance shall be determined without regard to any grace period or requirement of notice provided pursuant to the terms of this Indenture. 

SECTION 3.4 SEC Reports. 

The Company shall, to the extent required by TIA Section 314(a), file with the Trustee, within 15 days after the filing with the SEC,
copies of the annual reports and of the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the SEC may by rules and regulations prescribe) which the Company is required to file with the SEC pursuant to
Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. In the event the Company is at any time no longer subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, it shall, for so long as the Securities remain outstanding, file
with the Trustee, within 15 days after the Company would have been required to file such documents with the SEC, copies of the annual reports and of the information, documents and other reports which the Company would have been required to file with
the SEC if the Company had continued to be subject to such Sections 13 or 15(d). The Company also shall comply with the other provisions of TIA Section 314(a). 
 SECTION 3.5 Additional Amounts. 
 If the Securities of a Series provide for
the payment of additional amounts, at least 10 days prior to the first Interest Payment Date with respect to that Series of Securities and at least 10 days prior to each date of payment of principal of or interest on the Securities of that Series if
there has been a change with respect to the matters set forth in the below-mentioned Officers’ Certificate, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee and the principal Paying Agent, if other than the Trustee, an Officers’ Certificate
instructing the Trustee and such Paying Agent whether such payment of principal of or interest on the Securities of that Series shall be made to Holders of the Securities of that Series without withholding or deduction for or on account of any tax,
assessment or other governmental charge described in the Securities of that Series. If any such withholding or deduction shall be required, then such Officers’ Certificate shall specify by country the amount, if any, required to be withheld or
deducted on such payments to such Holders and shall certify the fact that additional amounts will be payable and the amounts so payable to each Holder, and the Company shall pay to the Trustee or such Paying Agent the additional amounts required to
be paid by this Section. The Company covenants to indemnify the Trustee and any Paying Agent for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense reasonably incurred without negligence or bad faith on their part arising out of or
in connection with actions taken or omitted by any of them in reliance on any Officers’ Certificate furnished pursuant to this Section. 
 Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of the principal of or any interest or any other amounts on, or in respect of, any Security of any Series, such mention shall be
deemed to include mention of the payment of additional amounts provided by the terms of such Series established 

  
 14 









 
hereby or pursuant hereto to the extent that, in such context, additional amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to such terms, and express mention of the payment of
additional amounts (if applicable) in any provision hereof shall not be construed as excluding the payment of additional amounts in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made. 

If the Company determines that it is, or on the next interest payment date would be, required to pay an additional amount with respect to
a Series of Securities, such Series shall be redeemable, at the option of the Company, at any time in whole but not in part, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the date fixed by
the Company for redemption and all additional amounts, if any, then due and which will become due on such redemption date as a result of the redemption or otherwise, in accordance with the procedures for redemption contained in Article IX hereof;
provided that no such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Company would be obligated to make such payment (or withholding, if a payment in respect of such Series were then due). Prior to
the mailing or, where relevant, publication of any notice of redemption of such Series pursuant to the foregoing, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel of recognized international standing to the effect that the circumstances
requiring the payment of an additional amount with respect to such Series exist. The Trustee shall accept such opinion as sufficient evidence of the satisfaction of the conditions precedent to the redemption, in which event it shall be conclusive
and binding on the Holders. 
 SECTION 3.6 Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. 

The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner
whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture or the Securities; and the Company
(to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, 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 has been enacted. 
 SECTION 3.7 Corporate Existence.

 Subject to Article IV, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force
and effect its corporate existence and rights (charter and statutory); provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right 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 its Subsidiaries taken as a whole and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the Securityholders. 

ARTICLE IV 

CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, SALE AND LEASE 
 SECTION 4.1 Merger and Consolidation of Company. 
 The Company shall not in a
single transaction or through a series of related transactions consolidate with or merge with or into any other corporation or sell, assign, convey, transfer or lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties and assets to
any Person or group of affiliated Persons, unless: 
 (i) either (A) the Company shall be the continuing Person, or
(B) the Person (if other than the Company) formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or to which the properties and assets of the Company are sold, assigned, conveyed, transferred, disposed of or leased as aforesaid (the
“Successor Corporation”) shall be a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United States or any State thereof or the District of Columbia and shall expressly assume, by an indenture supplemental hereto, executed
and delivered to the Trustee, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, all the obligations of the Company under this Indenture and each Series of Securities; 

  
 15 









 (ii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default shall have
occurred and be continuing; and 
 (iii) the Company shall have delivered, or caused to be delivered, to the Trustee an
Officers’ Certificate and, as to legal matters, an Opinion of Counsel, each in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, each stating that such consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer, disposition or lease and such
supplemental indenture comply with this Indenture and that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such transaction have been complied with; 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph (ii), the Company or any Subsidiary may consolidate with or merge into the Company or any Subsidiary and no violation of this Section shall be deemed to have
occurred as a consequence thereof, as long as the requirements of paragraphs (i) and (iii) are satisfied in connection therewith. 

SECTION 4.2 Successor Substituted. 
 (a) Upon any such consolidation or merger, or any sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer, disposition or lease of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company in accordance
with Section 4.1, the Successor Corporation shall succeed to and be substituted for the Company under this Indenture and each Series of Securities, and the Company shall (except in the case of a lease) thereupon be released from all obligations
hereunder and under each Series of Securities and the Company, as the predecessor corporation, may thereupon or at any time thereafter be dissolved, wound up or liquidated. 
 (b) In the case of any consolidation, merger or sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer, disposition or lease described in Section 4.2(a) above, such changes in form (but not in substance) may be
made in the Securities thereafter to be issued as may be appropriate. 
 ARTICLE V 

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES 

SECTION 5.1 Events of Default. 
 An “Event of Default” means, with respect to any Series of Securities, any of the following events: 
 (a) default in the payment of interest on any Security of such Series when the same becomes due and payable, and such default continues for a period of 30 days; 

(b) default in the payment of the principal of any Security of such Series when the same becomes due and payable at maturity or
otherwise, including a default in the making of any sinking fund payment or analogous obligation on the Securities of such Series; 
 (c) material default in performance of any other covenants or agreements in the Securities of such Series or this Indenture and the default continues for 60 days after the date on which written
notice of such default is given to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Securities of such Series then outstanding hereunder; 

(d) the Company or any Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law: 

 

	 	(i)	commences a voluntary case; 

  

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


 

	 	(iii)	consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property; 


 

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


  
 16 










	 	(v)	admits in writing its inability to generally pay its debts as such debts become due; 


or takes any comparable action under any foreign laws relating to insolvency; or 

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

(i) is for relief against the Company or any Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case; 

(ii) appoints a Custodian of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary or for all or substantially all of its property; or

 (iii) orders the winding up or liquidation of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary; 

or any similar relief is granted under any foreign laws; and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 days. 

The term “Bankruptcy Law” means Title 11 of the United States Code or any similar federal or state law for the relief of
debtors. The term “Custodian” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law. 
 Any notice of Default given by the Trustee or Securityholders under this Section must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that the notice is a “Notice of Default.”

 Subject to the provisions of Section 6.1 and 6.2, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice or be charged with
knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless written notice thereof shall have been given to the Trustee in accordance with Section 10.2 by the Company, the Paying Agent, any Holder or an agent of any Holder and such notice references
the Securities and this Indenture. 
 SECTION 5.2 Acceleration. 
 If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (d) and (e) of Section 5.1 with respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing with respect to the Securities of
any Series, the Trustee by notice to the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Securities of such Series by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on all the
Securities of such Series to be due and payable. Upon such declaration the principal and interest shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in clause (d) or (e) of Section 5.1 with respect to the Company
occurs, the principal of and interest on all the Securities of each Series shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Securityholders. If all existing
Events of Default with respect to such Series have been cured or waived (except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration), the acceleration and its consequences in respect of a Series of Securities
shall be automatically annulled and rescinded; provided, that such annulment and rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any
consequent right. 
 SECTION 5.3 Other Remedies. 
 If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal or interest on the relevant Securities or to enforce the performance of any
provision of such Securities or this Indenture. 
 The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the
Securities or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Securityholder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of
or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law. 

  
 17 









 SECTION 5.4 Waiver of Past Defaults. 

The Holders of a majority in principal amount of a Series of Securities by notice to the Trustee may waive an existing Default and its
consequences with respect to such Series, except (a) a Default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Security of such Series or (b) a Default in respect of a provision that under Section 8.2 cannot be amended without
the consent of each affected Securityholder of such Series; provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of any Series may rescind an acceleration and its consequences,
including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration. When a Default is waived, it is deemed cured, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any consequent right.

 SECTION 5.5 Control by Majority. 
 The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of a Series may 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 it with respect to such Series. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, or, subject to Section 6.1, that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the
rights of other Securityholders, or would involve the Trustee in personal liability; provided that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction. Prior to taking any action
hereunder, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification from Securityholders of such Series reasonably satisfactory to it against all risk, losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action. Subject to Section 6.1, 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 the Securityholders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Securityholders shall have provided to the Trustee
security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred in compliance with such request or direction. 
 SECTION 5.6 Limitation on Suits. 
 A Securityholder of a Series may pursue a
remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Securities of such Series only if: 
 (a) the Holder gives to the Trustee
written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to that Series; 
 (b) the Holders of at least 25% in
principal amount of the Securities of such Series make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy; 
 (c) such
Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense; 
 (d) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the notice, request and the offer of security or indemnity; and 

(e) the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of such Series do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent
with the request during such 60-day period. 
 A Securityholder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another
Securityholder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Securityholder. 
 SECTION 5.7 Rights of Holders To Receive Payment.

 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Security to receive payment of principal
and interest on the Security, on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for in the Security, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the
consent of the Holder. 

  
 18 









 SECTION 5.8 Collection Suit by Trustee. 

If an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(a) or (b) occurs and is continuing with respect to a Security, the Trustee may
recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company or any other obligor on such Security for the whole amount of principal and interest remaining unpaid (together with interest on such unpaid interest to the
extent lawful) and the amounts provided for in Section 6.7. 
 SECTION 5.9 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 

The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents and take such other actions including participating as a member or
otherwise in any committees of creditors appointed in the matter as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the amounts provided in Section 6.7) and the Securityholders allowed in any
judicial proceedings relative to the Company, its creditors or its property and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may vote on behalf of the Holders of each Series in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other Person
performing similar functions, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make 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 its counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.7. To the extent that the
payment of any such amount due to the Trustee under Section 6.7 out of the estate in any such proceeding shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions,
dividends, money, securities and other properties which the Holders of the Securities may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. 

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
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 5.10 Priorities. 
 If the Trustee collects any money or other
consideration pursuant to this Article, it shall pay out the money or other consideration in the following order: 

First: to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 6.7; 

Second: to Securityholders for amounts due and unpaid on the Securities of the relevant Series for principal and interest,
ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Securities of such Series for principal and interest, respectively; and 
 Third: to the Company. 
 The Trustee may fix a record date and payment
date for any payment to Securityholders of such Series pursuant to this Section. At least 15 days before such record date, the Company shall give written notice to each Securityholder of such Series and the Trustee of the record date, the payment
date and amount to be paid. 
 SECTION 5.11 Undertaking for Costs. 
 In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the
filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit,
having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. 

  
 19 









 This Section does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 5.7, or a
suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the Securities of any Series. 
 SECTION 5.12. Restoration of Rights and
Remedies. 
 If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and
such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company, the Trustee and the
Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted. 

ARTICLE VI 

TRUSTEE 
 SECTION
6.1 Duties of Trustee. 
 (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of
the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs. 

(b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default: 

(i) The Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others and no
implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. 
 (ii) In the
absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements
of this Indenture. However, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or
other facts stated thereon). 
 (c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own
negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that: 
 (i) This paragraph does not limit
the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section. 
 (ii) The Trustee shall not be liable for any error of
judgment made in good faith by a Trust Officer, unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts. 
 (iii) The Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 5.2, 5.4 or 5.5.

Company. 

  
 20 









 (f) Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except
to the extent required by law. 
 SECTION 6.2 Rights of Trustee.

matter stated in the document. 
 (b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’
Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel or both covering such matters as it shall reasonably determine. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on any such Officers’ Certificate or Opinion
of Counsel. 
 (c) The Trustee may act through agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any
agent appointed with due care.

full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice of such counsel. 

(f) The Trustee shall not be obligated 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 or any other paper or document.

(h) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to
be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and to each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder. 

(i) In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind
whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. 
 SECTION 6.3 Individual Rights of Trustee. 
 The Trustee in its individual or
any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company or an Affiliate with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee is
subject to Sections 6.10 and 6.11. 
 SECTION 6.4 Trustee’s Disclaimer. 

The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Securities of

authentication. 

  
 21 









 SECTION 6.5 Notice of Defaults. 

If a Default or an Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is actually known to a Trust Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee
shall mail to Securityholders of the affected Series a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after a Trust Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge of the occurrence thereof. Except in the case of a Default in any payment on
any Security, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Trust Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Securityholders of the affected Series. 

SECTION 6.6 Reports by Trustee to Holders. 
 Within 60 days after the May 15 following the first issuance of Securities hereunder, and for so long as Securities are outstanding hereunder, the Trustee shall mail to Securityholders a brief report
dated as of such date that complies with TIA Section 313(a) if required by that Section. The Trustee also shall comply with TIA Section 313(b)(2). 
 A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Securityholders shall be filed with the SEC and each stock exchange or securities association on which Securities are listed or quoted. The Company
shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing when Securities are listed or quoted on any stock exchange or securities association and of any delisting thereof. 
 SECTION 6.7 Compensation and Indemnity. 
 The Company shall pay to the Trustee
from time to time such compensation for its services as the parties shall agree. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee upon request
for all reasonable out-of-pocket disbursements, expenses and advances incurred by it. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and out-of-pocket disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents, counsel and other professionals.

 The Company shall indemnify the Trustee for, and hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense, including
reasonable attorneys’ fees, disbursements and expenses, incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder including the costs and expenses of defending itself
against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify
the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have one separate counsel and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and
expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 
 The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss or liability incurred by the Trustee through negligence or bad faith. 

To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section, 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 of any Series. 
 Without prejudice to any other rights available to the Trustee under applicable law, when the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(d) or
(e) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. 
 The Company’s obligations under this Section 6.7 and any Lien arising hereunder shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee, the discharge of the Company’s obligations pursuant
to Article VII of this Indenture and the termination of this Indenture. 

  
 22 









 SECTION 6.8 Replacement of Trustee. 

A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor
Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section. 
 The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to any
Series of Securities by so notifying the Company in writing. Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company may remove the Trustee with respect to any Series of Securities at any time by so notifying the Trustee of
such Series of Securities. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of any Series may, by written notice to the Trustee, remove the Trustee as Trustee with respect to that Series of Securities by so notifying the Trustee and
the Company. The Company, by notice to such Trustee, shall remove such Trustee if: 
  

	 	(a)	such Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.10; 

  

	 	(b)	such Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent; 

  

	 	(c)	a receiver or public officer takes charge of such Trustee or its property; or 


 

	 	(d)	such Trustee becomes incapable of acting. 

 If the Trustee resigns or is removed or becomes incapable of acting or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason with respect to one or more Series of Securities, the Company by Board
Resolution shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to such Series of Securities (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to one or more or all Series of Securities and at any time
there shall be only one Trustee with respect to any particular Series of Securities). Within one year after the successor Trustee of a Series of Securities takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of such Securities of the
affected Series may appoint a successor Trustee of such Series to replace the successor Trustee of such Series appointed by the Company. 
 If a successor Trustee for a particular Series of Securities does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee of such Series resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee of such Series, the
Company or the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Securities of the affected Series may, at the expense of the Company (in the case of a petition by the retiring Trustee of such Series or the Company),petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee for such Series. 
 If the Trustee for a particular Series of
Securities fails to comply with Section 6.10, any Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee of such Series and the
appointment of a successor Trustee 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 by mailing written notice of such event by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to all Holders of Securities of such Series as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register. Each notice shall include the name of
the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such Series and the address of its corporate trust office. 
 A
successor Trustee of all Securities shall execute, acknowledge and deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and
such successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Trustee under this Indenture. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the Lien provided
for in Section 6.7. 
 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 and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the
Securities of that or those Series to which the 

  
 23 









 
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 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 Trustee’s 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

satisfactory to the Trustee as trust funds in trust, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of such Holders, in and to, (A) money in an amount, (B) U.S. Government Obligations that, through the payment
of interest and principal in respect thereof in accordance with their terms, will provide, not later than one Business Day before the due date of any payment referred to in this clause (i), money in an amount or (C) a combination thereof in an
amount 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, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest

recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of the Company’s exercise of its option under this Section 7.3 and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same
times as would have been the case if such option had not been exercised or (2) an Opinion of Counsel (who may not be an employee of the Company) to the same effect as the ruling described in clause (1) accompanied by a ruling to that
effect published by the Internal Revenue Service, unless there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law since the date of this Indenture such that a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service is no longer required and (B) an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that (1) the creation of the defeasance trust does not violate the Investment Company Act of 1940, (2) after the passage of 123 days following the deposit (except, with respect to any trust funds for the
account of any Holder of such Series who may be deemed to be an “insider” for purposes of Title 11 of the United States Code, after one year following the deposit), the trust funds will not be subject to the effect of
Section 547 of Title 11 of the United States Code or Section 15 of the New York Debtor and Creditor Law in a case commenced by or against the Company under either such statute; and 

  
 26 









 (v) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel, in each case stating that all conditions precedent provided for herein relating to the defeasance contemplated by this Section 7.3 have been complied with. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing clause (i), prior to the end of the 91st-day period referred to in clause (iv)(B)(2) above, none

respect to such Series. If and when a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service or Opinion of Counsel referred to in clause (iv)(A) above is able to be provided specifically without regard to, and not in reliance upon, the continuance of the
Company’s obligations under Section 3.1, then the Company’s obligations under such Section 3.1 with respect to such Series shall cease upon delivery to the Trustee of such ruling or Opinion of Counsel and compliance with the
other conditions precedent provided for herein relating to the defeasance contemplated by this Section 7.3.

(i) with reference to this Section 7.4, the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be irrevocably deposited with the
Trustee or Paying Agent (other than the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company) and conveyed all right, title and interest for the benefit of the Holders of such Series, under the terms of an irrevocable trust agreement in form
satisfactory to the Trustee as trust funds in trust, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of such Holders, in and to, (A) money in an amount, (B) U.S. Government Obligations that, through the payment
of interest and principal in respect thereof in accordance with their terms, will provide, not later than one Business Day before the due date of any payment referred to in this clause (i), money in an amount or (C) a combination thereof in an
amount 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, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest
and after payment of all federal, state and local taxes or other fees, charges and assessments in respect thereof payable by the Trustee or Paying Agent, the principal of and interest on the outstanding Securities of such Series when due;
provided that the Trustee or Paying Agent shall have been irrevocably instructed to apply such money or the proceeds of such U.S. Government Obligations to the payment of such principal and interest with respect to such Series; 

(ii) such deposit will not result in or constitute a Default or 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; 
 (iii) no Default with respect
to such Series shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or during the period ending on the 91st day after such date of deposit; 
 (iv) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel who is not employed by the Company to the effect that (A) the creation of the defeasance trust does not violate the Investment


  
 27 









 
Company Act of 1940, (B) such Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of the Company’s exercise of its option under this
Section 7.4 and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such option had not been exercised and (C) after the passage of 91 days following the
deposit (except, with respect to any trust funds for the account of any Holder of such series who may be deemed to be an “insider” for purposes of Title 11 of the United States Code, after one year following the deposit), the trust
funds will not be subject to the effect of Section 547 of Title 11 of the United States Code or Section 15 of the New York Debtor and Creditor Law in a case commenced by or against the Company under either such statute; and 

(v) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, in each case stating that all
conditions precedent provided for herein relating to the defeasance contemplated by this Section 7.4 have been complied with. 
 After any such irrevocable deposit and the fulfillment of the other requirements of this Section 7.4, the Trustee upon request shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of such of the Company’s
obligations under the Securities of such Series and this Indenture with respect to such Series as the Company may omit to comply with pursuant to this Section 7.4.

Indenture, as the case may be, and shall apply the deposited money and the money from U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Indenture to the payment of principal of and interest on the Securities of the relevant Series. The Trustee
shall be under no obligation to invest such money or U.S. Government Obligations and in no event shall the Trustee have any liability for, or in respect of, any such investment made. 
 SECTION 7.6 Repayment to Company. 
 Subject to Sections 6.7, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 and
7.4 of this Indenture, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly pay to the Company upon written request any excess money or U.S. Government Obligations held by them at any time pursuant to this Article, which in the opinion of a nationally
recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which delivery shall only be required if U.S. Government Obligations have been so provided), are in excess of the amount thereof
which would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent discharge or defeasance in accordance with this Article VII, and thereupon shall be relieved from all liability with respect to such money. 

Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Company upon written request any
money held by them (whether pursuant to this Article or otherwise) for the payment of principal or interest of any Series that remains unclaimed for two years; provided that the Company shall if requested by the Trustee or the Paying Agent,
give the Trustee or such Paying Agent indemnification reasonably satisfactory to it against any and all liability which may be incurred by it by reason of such payment. After payment to the Company, Holders entitled to such money must look to the
Company for payment as general creditors unless an applicable law designates another person, and all liability of the Trustee and such Paying Agent with respect to such money shall cease. 
 SECTION 7.7 Reinstatement. 
 If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply
any money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 or 7.4 of this Indenture, as the case may be, by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority
enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Securities of the applicable Series shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred


  
 28 









 
pursuant to Section 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 or 7.4 of this Indenture, as the case may be, until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or U.S. Government
Obligations in accordance with Section 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 or 7.4 of this Indenture, as the case may be; provided that, if the Company has made any payment of principal of or interest on any Series of Securities because of the reinstatement of
its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Series to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 

SECTION 7.8 Deposited Money and U.S. Government Obligations to be Held in Trust: Miscellaneous Provisions. 

The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Government

 SECTION 8.1 Without Consent of Holders. 
 The Company, when authorized by a
Board Resolution, and the Trustee may amend this Indenture as it relates to any one or more Series of Securities or enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto (which shall conform to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act as then

(a) to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency; 

(b) to comply with Article IV; 
 (c) to provide for uncertificated Securities of such Series in addition to certificated Securities of such Series; provided that such uncertificated Securities are issued in registered form

 (d) to add additional guarantees with respect to such Series or to secure such Series; 
 (e) to add to the covenants of the Company for the benefit of the Holders of such Series or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Company;

limitation, changing any payment record dates as necessary to conform to then-current market practice; 
  

	 	(h)	to provide for the issuance of and establish the form and terms and conditions of Securities of any series as permitted by this Indenture; or 


 

	 	(i)	to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities or one or more series and to add to or change
any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee. 


  
 29 









 After an amendment or supplement pursuant this Section becomes effective, the Company shall
mail to Securityholders a notice briefly describing such amendment or supplement. The failure to give such notice to all Securityholders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment or supplement under this
Section. 
 SECTION 8.2 With Consent of Holders. 
 The Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture with respect to any one or more Series of Securities with the written consent, as to each such
Series, of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of such Series. However, with respect to a Series of Securities, without the consent of each Securityholder of such Series, an amendment or supplement under this Section may
not: 
 (a) reduce the amount of Securities the Holders of which must consent to an amendment or supplement or waiver;

 (b) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any Security; 

(c) reduce the principal of or change the Stated Maturity of any Security; 

(d) modify any redemption or repurchase right to the detriment of a Holder; 

(e) make any Security payable in currency or consideration other than that stated in the Security; 

(f) make any change in Section 5.4, Section 5.7 or this second sentence of this Section 8.2. 

An amendment or supplement 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 the consent of the Holders
under this Section 8.2 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or supplement, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 
 After an amendment or supplement under this Section becomes effective, the Company shall mail to Securityholders a notice briefly describing such amendment or supplement. The failure to give such notice
to all Securityholders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment or supplement under this Section. 

SECTION 8.3 Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. 
 Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Securities shall be set forth in a supplemental indenture that complies with the TIA as then in effect. 

SECTION 8.4 Revocation and Effect of Consents. 
 Until an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Article becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of any Security is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of Securities
of that Series or portion thereof that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Security. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to his
Security or portion of a Security if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. 
 After an amendment or supplement becomes effective, it shall bind every Securityholder of the affected Series. 

  
 30 









 SECTION 8.5 Notation on or Exchange of Securities. 

If an amendment changes the terms of a Security, the Trustee may require the Holders of the Security to deliver it to the Trustee. The
Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Securities of such Series regarding the changed terms and return it to the Holders. Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee so determines, the Company in exchange for the Securities of such
Series shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate new Securities of such Series that reflect the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or to issue new Securities of such Series shall not affect the validity of such amendment.

 SECTION 8.6 Trustee To Sign Amendments. 
 The Trustee shall sign any supplemental indenture which sets forth an amendment or supplement authorized pursuant to this Article if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights,
duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee under this Indenture or otherwise. If it does, the Trustee may but need not sign it. In signing such supplemental indenture the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 6.1)
shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and, with respect to an amendment or supplement pursuant to
Section 8.2, evidence of the consents of Holders required in connection therewith. 
 SECTION 8.7 Fixing of Record Dates. 

The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to take any action
under this Indenture by vote or consent. Except as provided herein, such record date shall be the later of 30 days prior to the first solicitation of such consent or vote or the date of the most recent list of Securityholders furnished to the
Trustee pursuant to Section 2.6 prior to such solicitation. If a record date is fixed, those Persons who were Securityholders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to take such action
by vote or consent or to revoke any vote or consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date; provided that unless such vote or consent is obtained from the Holders (or their duly designated
proxies) of the requisite principal amount of outstanding Securities prior to the date which is the 120th day after such record date, any such vote or consent previously given shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be canceled
and of no further effect. 
 ARTICLE IX 
 REDEMPTION 
 SECTION 9.1 Applicability of Article.

Trustee. 
 The election of the Company to redeem Securities of any Series shall be evidenced by a resolution of the Board of
Directors. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company, the Company shall, at least 30 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of

Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture or (ii) that is subject to compliance with any conditions provided for in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers’
Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction or conditions. 

  
 31 









 SECTION 9.3 Selection by Trustee of Securities to be Redeemed. 

If less than all the Securities of the Series are to be redeemed, the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than
60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the outstanding Securities of such Series not previously called for redemption, by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for
redemption of portions (equal to authorized denominations for Securities of that Series) of the principal amount of Securities of such Series. 
 The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Securities selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be
redeemed. 
 For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the
redemption of Securities of any Series 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 9.4 Notice of Redemption. 
 Notice of redemption shall be given by electronic transmission or first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 15 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of
Securities to be redeemed, at such Holder’s registered address. 
 All notices of redemption shall identify the Securities
to be redeemed (including CUSIP and, if applicable, ISIN and Common Code numbers) and shall state: 
 (1) the Redemption Date,

 (2) the Redemption Price, 
 (3) if less than all the outstanding Securities of such Series are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the principal amounts) of the particular Securities 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, 
 (5) the place or places where
such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price, 
 (6) that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if
such is the case, and 
 (7) any other information as may be required by the terms of the particular Series or the Securities of
a Series being redeemed. 
 Notice of redemption of Securities of any Series 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. The notice if sent in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the
Holder receives such notice. In any case, a failure to give such notice by electronic transmission or mail or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Security designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the
proceedings for the redemption of any other Security. 
 SECTION 9.5 Deposit of Redemption Price. 

On or before 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent money sufficient
to pay the Redemption Price of and accrued interest, if any, on all Securities to be redeemed on that date.

 (Form of Reverse of Security) 

ELECTRONIC ARTS INC. 
     % SENIOR NOTE DUE              

(1) Interest. Electronic Arts Inc., a Delaware corporation (such corporation, and its successors and assigns under the
Indenture referred to below, being herein called the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at the interest rate per annum shown above. The Company will pay interest semiannually on
             and              of each year. Interest on the Securities of this Series will accrue from the most
recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from             . Interest will be computed [on the basis of
a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months] [as set forth in the Officers’ Certificate or supplemental indenture delivered pursuant to Section 2.1]. 
 (2) Method of Payment. The Company will pay interest on the Securities of this Series (except Defaulted Interest) to the persons who are registered Holders of Securities of this Series at the
close of business on the record date next preceding the interest payment date even though such Securities are canceled after the record date and on or before the interest payment date. Holders must surrender Securities to a Paying Agent to collect
principal payments. The Company will pay principal and interest in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. However, the Company may pay principal and interest by check payable
in such money. It may mail an interest check to a Holder’s registered address. 
 (3) Paying Agent,
Registrar. Initially, U.S. Bank National Association, a national banking association (the “Trustee”), will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar without notice.
The Company may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar. 
 (4) Indenture. The Company issued the Securities of
this Series under an Indenture dated as of             (the “Indenture”) between the Company and the Trustee. The Securities are unsecured general obligations of the
Company issued and to be issued in one or more Series under the Indenture and may be issued in an unlimited principal amount. The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the
Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S. Code Sections 77aaa-77bbbb) (the “TIA”). Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein are used as defined in the Indenture. The Securities are subject to all such terms, and
Securityholders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of such terms. 
 (5) Redemption. [Set forth
redemption provision, if any.] 
 (6) Denominations; Transfer; Exchange. The Securities of this Series are in
registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof [or as otherwise set forth in the Security]. The transfer of Securities may be registered and Securities may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The
Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Company shall not be required (A) to issue, register
the transfer of or exchange any Securities of a Series 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 9.3 of the
Indenture 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. 
 (7) Defeasance. Subject to certain conditions and unless otherwise provided in the terms of the Securities of
this Series, the Company at any time may terminate some or all of its obligations under the Securities and the Indenture if the Company deposits with the Trustee money and/or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal and interest on
the Securities to maturity. 

  
 A-4









 (8) Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of a Security may be treated as
its owner for all purposes, except that interest (other than Defaulted Interest) will be paid to the person that was the registered Holder on the relevant record date for such payment of interest. 

(9) Amendments and Waivers. Subject to certain exceptions, (i) the Indenture or the Securities may be amended or
supplemented with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of each Series affected; and (ii) any existing default with respect to the Securities of this Series may be waived with the consent of the Holders
of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of such Series. Without the consent of any Securityholder, the Indenture or the Securities may be amended or supplemented to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, to provide for
assumption of Company obligations to Securityholders or to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated Securities, to provide for guarantees with respect to, or security for, the Securities, or to comply with the
TIA or to add additional covenants or surrender Company rights, or to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Securityholder. 
 (10) Remedies. If an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this Series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Securities of this
Series may declare all the Securities of this Series to be due and payable immediately. Securityholders may not enforce the Indenture or the Securities of this Series except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may require an indemnity before
it enforces the Indenture or the Securities. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of a Series may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power with respect to such Series. The
Trustee may withhold from Securityholders notice of any continuing default (except a Default in payment of principal or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interests. The Company must furnish an annual compliance
certificate to the Trustee. 
 (11) Subordination. [Set forth subordination provision, if any.] 

(12) Trustee Dealings with Company. Subject to the provisions of the TIA, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or
any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not Trustee. The Trustee will initially be U.S. Bank
National Association. 
 (13) No Recourse Against Others. A director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of
the Company shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Securities or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Each Securityholder by accepting a
Security waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities. 
 (14) Authentication. This Security shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of an authorized signatory of the Trustee or an authenticating agent. 

(15) Abbreviations. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Securityholder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (=
tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act). 

Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures the Company has caused CUSIP
numbers to be printed on the Securities. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers (or as to the accuracy of ISIN numbers, Common Code numbers or similar numbers) as printed on the Securities and reliance may be placed only on the
other identification numbers placed thereon. 
 THE COMPANY WILL FURNISH TO ANY SECURITYHOLDER UPON WRITTEN REQUEST AND WITHOUT CHARGE A COPY OF
THE INDENTURE, WHICH HAS IN IT THE TEXT OF THIS SECURITY, IN TWELVE-POINT TYPE. REQUESTS MAY BE MADE TO: INVESTOR RELATIONS DIRECTOR, ELECTRONIC ARTS INC., 209 REDWOOD SHORES PARKWAY, REDWOOD CITY, CA 94065, Telephone: (650) 628-1500.
