be issued at various times, with different dates on which the principal or any installment of principal is payable, with different rates
of interest, if any, or different methods by which rates of interest may be determined, with different dates on which such interest may
be payable and with different redemption dates. Notwithstanding Section 2.01(2) and unless otherwise expressly provided with

Section 2.02     Form of Securities
and Trustee’s Certificate.


 


The Securities of any series and the Trustee’s
certificate of authentication to be borne by such Securities shall be substantially of the tenor and purport as set forth in one or more
indentures supplemental hereto or as provided in a Board Resolution and as set forth in an Officers’ Certificate. The Securities
may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification or designation and such legends or endorsements printed, lithographed
or engraved thereon as the Company may deem appropriate and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture, or as may be
required to comply with any law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or with any rule or regulation of any stock
exchange on which Securities of that series may be listed, or to conform to usage.


 


Section 2.03     Denominations: Provisions
for Payment.


 


The Securities shall be issuable as
registered Securities and in the denominations of one thousand U.S. dollars ($1,000) or any integral multiple thereof, subject to
Section 2.01(11). The Securities of a particular series shall bear interest payable on the dates and at the rates specified or
provided for with respect to that series. Except as contemplated by Section 2.01(18), the principal of and the interest on the
Securities of any series, as well as any premium thereon in case of redemption thereof prior to maturity, shall be payable in the
coin or currency of the United States of America that at the time is legal tender for public and private debt, at the office or
agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York; provided,
however, that at the option of the Company payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled
thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register. Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication by the
Trustee. Except as contemplated by Section 2.01(4), interest on the Securities shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year
composed of twelve 30-day months. Except as contemplated by Section 2.01(5), the interest installment on any Security that is
payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date for Securities of that series shall be paid to
the Person in whose name said Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the regular
record date for such interest installment. In the event that any Security of a particular series or portion thereof is called for
redemption and the redemption date is subsequent to a regular record date with respect to any Interest Payment Date and prior to
such Interest Payment Date, interest on such Security will be paid upon presentation and surrender of such Security as provided in
Section 3.03. Any interest on any Security that is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest
Payment Date for Securities of the same series (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable
to the registered holder on the relevant regular record date by virtue of having been such holder; and such Defaulted Interest shall
be paid by the Company, at its election, as provided in clause (1) or clause (2) below:


 






    9


     


    

 


(1)            The
Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on Securities to the Persons in whose names such Securities (or their respective Predecessor
Securities) are registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be
fixed in the following manner: the Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid
on each such Security and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount
of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory
to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit
of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a special record date for
the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall not be more than 15 nor less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment
and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the
Company of such special record date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of
such Defaulted Interest and the special record date therefor to be mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each Securityholder at his
or her address as it appears in the Security Register (as hereinafter defined), not less than 10 days prior to such special record date.
Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the special record date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted
Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names such Securities (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered on such
special record date.


 






    10


     


    

 


(2)          The
Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on any Securities in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements
of any securities exchange on which such Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after
notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable
by the Trustee. Unless otherwise set forth in a Board Resolution or one or more indentures supplemental hereto establishing the terms
of any series of Securities pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof, the term “regular record date” as used in this Section with
respect to a series of Securities with respect to any Interest Payment Date for such series shall mean either the fifteenth day of the
month immediately preceding the month in which an Interest Payment Date established for such series pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof
shall occur, if such Interest Payment Date is the first day of a month, or the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in
which an Interest Payment Date established for such series pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof shall occur, if such Interest Payment
Date is the fifteenth day of a month, whether or not such date is a Business Day. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section,
each Security of a series delivered under this Indenture upon transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security of such
series shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, that were carried by such other Security.


 


Section 2.04         Execution
and Authentication.


 


The Securities shall be signed on behalf of
the Company by its President, or one of its Vice Presidents, or its Treasurer, or one of its Assistant Treasurers, under its
corporate seal attested by its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries. Signatures may be in the form of a manual or facsimile
signature. The Company may use the facsimile signature of any Person who shall have been a President or Vice President thereof, or
of any Person who shall have been the Treasurer, an Assistant Treasurer, the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary thereof,
notwithstanding the fact that at the time the Securities shall be authenticated and delivered or disposed of such Person shall have
ceased to be the President or a Vice President, or the Treasurer, an Assistant Treasurer, the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary,
of the Company. The seal of the Company may be in the form of a facsimile of such seal and may be impressed, affixed, imprinted or
otherwise reproduced on the Securities. The Securities may contain such notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock
exchange rule or usage. A Security shall not be valid until authenticated manually by an authorized signatory of the Trustee,
or by an Authenticating Agent. Such signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security so authenticated has been duly
authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the holder is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. At any time and from time
to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series executed by the Company
to the Trustee for authentication, together with a written order of the Company for the authentication and delivery of such
Securities, signed by its President or any Vice President and its Secretary or any Assistant Secretary, and the Trustee in
accordance with such written order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. In authenticating such Securities and accepting
the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and
(subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the form and terms
thereof have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture and 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 any
Bankruptcy Law or other insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability
relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a
proceeding in equity or at law). The Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Securities if the issue of such Securities
pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture
or otherwise in a manner that is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.


 






    11


     


    

 


Section 2.05         Registration
of Transfer and Exchange.


 


(a)          Securities
of any series may be exchanged upon presentation thereof at the office or agency of the Company designated for such purpose in the Borough
of Manhattan, the City and State of New York, or such other location designated by the Company, for other Securities of such series of
authorized denominations, and for a like aggregate principal amount, upon payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge in relation thereto, all as provided in this Section. In respect of any Securities so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall
execute, the Trustee shall authenticate and such office or agency shall deliver in exchange therefor the Security or Securities of the
same series that the Securityholder making the exchange shall be entitled to receive, bearing numbers not contemporaneously outstanding.


 


(b)          The
Company shall keep, or cause to be kept, at its office or agency designated for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, the City
and State of New York, or such other location designated by the Company, a register or registers (herein referred to as the
 “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall register
the Securities and the transfers of Securities as in this Article provided and which at all reasonable times shall be open for
inspection by the Trustee. The registrar for the purpose of registering Securities and transfer of Securities as herein provided
shall be appointed as authorized by Board Resolution (the “Security Registrar”). Upon surrender for transfer of any
Security at the office or agency of the Company designated for such purpose, the Company shall execute, the Trustee shall
authenticate and such office or agency shall deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new Security or Securities of
the same series as the Security presented for a like aggregate principal amount. All Securities presented or surrendered for
exchange or registration of transfer, as provided in this Section, shall be accompanied (if so required by the Company or the
Security Registrar) by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Company or the Security
Registrar, duly executed by the registered holder or by such holder’s duly authorized attorney in writing.


 


(c)          No
service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of Securities, or issue of new Securities in case of partial
redemption of any series, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in relation
thereto, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 2.06, Section 3.03(b) and Section 9.04 not involving any transfer.
The Company shall not be required (i) to issue, exchange or register the transfer of any Securities during a period beginning at
the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of less than all the Outstanding Securities of
the same series and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, nor (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange
any Securities of any series or portions thereof called for redemption. The provisions of this Section 2.05 are, with respect to
any Global Security, subject to Section 2.11 hereof.


 






    12


     


    

 


Section 2.06         Temporary
Securities.


  


Pending the preparation of definitive Securities
of any series, the Company may execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities (printed, lithographed or
typewritten) of any authorized denomination. Such temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of the definitive Securities
in lieu of which they are issued, but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Securities, all
as may be determined by the Company. Every temporary Security of any series shall be executed by the Company and be authenticated by the
Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with like effect, as the definitive Securities of such series.
Without unnecessary delay the Company will execute and will furnish definitive Securities of such series and thereupon any or all temporary
Securities of such series may be surrendered in exchange therefor (without charge to the holders), at the office or agency of the Company
designated for the purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York, or such other location designated by the Company,
and the Trustee shall authenticate and such office or agency shall deliver in exchange for such temporary Securities an equal aggregate
principal amount of definitive Securities of such series, unless the Company advises the Trustee to the effect that definitive Securities
need not be executed and furnished until further notice from the Company. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of such series
shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series authenticated and delivered hereunder.


 


Section 2.07         Mutilated,
Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Securities.


 


In case any temporary or definitive Security
shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company (subject to the next succeeding sentence) shall execute, and
upon the Company’s request the Trustee (subject as aforesaid) shall authenticate and deliver, a new Security of the same
series, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated Security, or in lieu of
and in substitution for the Security so destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case the applicant for a substituted Security shall
furnish to the Company and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, and, in
every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Company and the Trustee evidence to their
satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of the applicant’s Security and of the ownership thereof. The Trustee may
authenticate any such substituted Security and deliver the same upon the written request or authorization of any officer of the
Company. Upon the issuance of any substituted Security, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the
Trustee) connected therewith. In case any Security that has matured or is about to mature shall become mutilated or be destroyed,
lost or stolen, the Company may, instead of issuing a substitute Security, pay or authorize the payment of the same (without
surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Security) if the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the Company and the
Trustee such security or indemnity as they may require to save them harmless, and, in case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence
to the satisfaction of the Company and the Trustee of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security and of the ownership thereof.
Every replacement Security issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall constitute an additional contractual
obligation of the Company whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be found at any time, or be
enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all
other Securities of the same series duly issued hereunder. All Securities shall be held and owned upon the express condition that
the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
Securities, and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) any and all other rights or remedies, notwithstanding any law or statute
existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment of negotiable instruments or other
securities without their surrender.


 






    13


     


    

 



 


Section 2.08         Cancellation.


 


All Securities surrendered for the purpose of payment,
redemption, exchange or registration of transfer shall, if surrendered to the Company or any paying agent, be delivered to the Trustee
for cancellation, or, if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be cancelled by it, and no Securities shall be issued in lieu thereof except
as expressly required or permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. On request of the Company at the time of such surrender,
the Trustee shall deliver to the Company canceled Securities held by the Trustee. In the absence of such request the Trustee may dispose
of canceled Securities in accordance with its standard procedures and deliver a certificate of disposition to the Company. If the Company
shall otherwise acquire any of the Securities, however, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness
represented by such Securities unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.


 


Section 2.09         Benefits
of Indenture.


 


Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities,
express or implied, shall give or be construed to give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and the holders of the Securities
(and, with respect to the provisions of Article XIV, the holders of Senior Indebtedness) any legal or equitable right, remedy or
claim under or in respect of this Indenture, or under any covenant, condition or provision herein contained; all such covenants, conditions
and provisions being for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and of the holders of the Securities (and, with respect to the provisions
of Article XIV, the holders of Senior Indebtedness).


 


Section 2.10         Authenticating
Agent.


 


So long as any of the Securities of any
series remain Outstanding there may be an Authenticating Agent for any or all such series of Securities which the Trustee shall have
the right to appoint. Said Authenticating Agent shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of
such series issued upon exchange, transfer or partial redemption thereof, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the
benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. All
references in this Indenture to the authentication of Securities by the Trustee shall be deemed to include authentication by an
Authenticating Agent for such series. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall be a corporation that
has a combined capital and surplus, as most recently reported or determined by it, sufficient under the laws of any jurisdiction
under which it is organized or in which it is doing business to conduct a trust business, and that is otherwise authorized under
such laws to conduct such business and is subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authorities. If at any time any
Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with these provisions, it shall resign immediately. Any Authenticating
Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time
(and upon request by the Company shall) terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to
such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon resignation, termination or cessation of eligibility of any Authenticating Agent,
the Trustee may appoint an eligible successor Authenticating Agent acceptable to the Company. Any successor Authenticating Agent,
upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder, shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor
hereunder as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent pursuant hereto.





 






    14 


     


    

 


Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent
may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation
to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency or corporate trust business
of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided that such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under
this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.


 


Section 2.11         Global
Securities.


 


(a)          If
the Company shall establish pursuant to Section 2.01 that the Securities of a particular series are to be issued as a Global Security,
then the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with Section 2.04, authenticate and deliver, a Global Security
that


 


	 	(1)	shall represent, and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of, all or a portion of the Outstanding Securities of such series,


 


	 	(2)	shall be registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee,


 


	 	(3)	shall be delivered by the Trustee to the Depositary or pursuant to the Depositary’s instruction and


 


	 	(4)	shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect: “Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.11 of the Indenture, this Security may be transferred, in whole but not in part, only to the Depositary, another nominee of the Depositary or to a successor Depositary or to a nominee of such successor Depositary.”


 


(b)          Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 2.05, the Global Security of a series may be transferred, in whole but not in part and in the manner provided
in Section 2.05, only to the Depositary for such series, another nominee of the Depositary for such series, or to a successor Depositary
for such series selected or approved by the Company or to a nominee of such successor Depositary.


 


(c)          If
at any time the Depositary for a series of the Securities notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as
Depositary for such series or if at any time the Depositary for such series shall no longer be registered or in good standing under
the Exchange Act, or other applicable statute or regulation, and a successor Depositary for such series is not appointed by the
Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such condition, as the case may be, this
Section 2.11 shall no longer be applicable to the Securities of such series and the Company will execute, and subject to
Section 2.05, the Trustee will authenticate and deliver the Securities of such series in definitive registered form without
coupons, in authorized denominations, and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security of
such series in exchange for such Global Security. In addition, the Company may at any time determine that the Securities of any
series shall no longer be represented by a Global Security and that the provisions of this Section 2.11 shall no longer apply
to the Securities of such series. In such event the Company will execute and subject to Section 2.05, the Trustee, upon receipt
of an Officers’ Certificate evidencing such determination by the Company, will authenticate and deliver the Securities of such
series in definitive registered form without coupons, in authorized denominations, and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the
principal amount of the Global Security of such series in exchange for such Global Security. Upon the exchange of the Global
Security for such Securities in definitive registered form without coupons, in authorized denominations, the Global Security shall
be canceled by the Trustee. Such Securities in definitive registered form issued in exchange for the Global Security pursuant to
this Section 2.11(c) shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary, pursuant to
instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver such
Securities to the Depositary for delivery to the Persons in whose names such Securities are so registered.

ARTICLE III

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES AND SINKING FUND PROVISIONS


 


Section 3.01         Redemption.


 


The Company may redeem the Securities of any series
issued hereunder on and after the dates and in accordance with the terms established for such series pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof.


 


Section 3.02         Notice
of Redemption.


 


(a)          In
case the Company shall desire to exercise such right to redeem all or, as the case may be, a portion of the Securities of any series in
accordance with the right reserved so to do, the Company shall, or shall cause the Trustee to, give notice of such redemption to holders
of the Securities of such series to be redeemed by mailing, first class postage prepaid, a notice of such redemption not less than 30
days and not more than 90 days before the date fixed for redemption of that series to such holders at their last addresses as they shall
appear upon the Security Register unless a shorter period is specified in the Securities to be redeemed. Any notice that is mailed in
the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the registered holder receives the notice.
In any case, failure duly to give such notice to the holder of any Security of any series designated for redemption in whole or in part,
or any defect in the notice, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Securities of such series
or any other series. In the case of any redemption of Securities prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided
in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate
evidencing compliance with any such restriction. Each such notice of redemption shall specify the date fixed for redemption and the redemption
price at which Securities of that series are to be redeemed, and shall state that payment of the redemption price of such Securities to
be redeemed will be made at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York, or such other
location designated by the Company, upon presentation and surrender of such Securities, that interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption
will be paid as specified in said notice, that from and after said date interest will cease to accrue, that the redemption is for a sinking
fund, if such is the case, and the CUSIP number of the Securities and state that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy
of the CUSIP number, if any, listed in the notice or printed on the Securities. If less than all the Securities of a series are to be
redeemed, the notice to the holders of Securities of that series to be redeemed in whole or in part shall specify the particular Securities
to be so redeemed. In case any Security is to be redeemed in part only, the notice that relates to such Security shall state the portion
of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed, and shall state that on and after the redemption date, upon surrender of such Security,
a new Security or Securities of such series in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued.


 






    16 


     


    

 


(b)          If
less than all the Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the Company shall give the Trustee at least 45 days’ notice
(unless a shorter period is satisfactory to the Trustee) in advance of the date fixed for redemption as to the aggregate principal
amount of Securities of the series to be redeemed, and thereupon the Trustee shall select in a manner that complies with the
requirements, if any, of any applicable stock exchange or which the Securities are listed and that the Trustee deems appropriate and
fair in its discretion and that may provide for the selection of a portion or portions (equal to one thousand U.S. dollars ($1,000)
or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal amount of such Securities of a denomination larger than $1,000, the Securities to
be redeemed and shall thereafter promptly notify the Company in writing of the numbers of the Securities to be redeemed, in whole or
in part. The Company may, if and whenever it shall so elect, by delivery of instructions signed on its behalf by its President or
any Vice President, instruct the Trustee or any paying agent to call all or any part of the Securities of a particular series for
redemption and to give notice of redemption in the manner set forth in this Section, such notice to be in the name of the Company or
its own name as the Trustee or such paying agent as it may deem advisable. In any case in which notice of redemption is to be given
by the Trustee or any such paying agent, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to, or permit to remain with, the
Trustee or such paying agent, as the case may be, such Security Register, transfer books or other records, or suitable copies or
extracts therefrom, sufficient to enable the Trustee or such paying agent to give any notice by mail that may be required under the
provisions of this Section.


 


Section 3.03         Payment
Upon Redemption.


 


(a)          If
the giving of notice of redemption shall have been completed as above provided, the Securities or portions of Securities of the series
to be redeemed specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the date and at the place stated in such notice at the applicable
redemption price, together with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption and interest on such Securities or portions of Securities
shall cease to accrue on and after the date fixed for redemption, unless the Company shall default in the payment of such redemption price
and accrued interest with respect to any such Security or portion thereof. On presentation and surrender of such Securities on or after
the date fixed for redemption at the place of payment specified in the notice, said Securities shall be paid and redeemed at the applicable
redemption price for such series, together with interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption (but if the date fixed for redemption
is an Interest Payment Date, the interest installment payable on such date shall be payable to the registered holder at the close of business
on the applicable record date pursuant to Section 2.03).


 






    17 


     


    

 


(b)          Upon
presentation of any Security of such series that is to be redeemed in part only, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate
and the office or agency where the Security is presented shall deliver to the holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Security
of the same series of authorized denominations in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Security so presented.


 


Section 3.04         Sinking

The provisions of Sections 3.04, 3.05 and 3.06

Section 2.01 for Securities of such series. The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of Securities
of any series is herein referred to as a “mandatory sinking fund payment”, and any payment in excess of such minimum amount
provided for by the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment”. If provided
for by the terms of Securities of any series, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 3.05.
Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities of any series as provided for by the terms of Securities of
such series.


 


Section 3.05         Satisfaction
of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities.


 


The Company


 


	 	(1)	may deliver Outstanding Securities of a series (other than any Securities previously called for redemption) and



 


	 	(2)	may apply as a credit Securities of a series that have been redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Securities, in each case in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities of such series required to be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities as provided for by the terms of such series, provided that such Securities have not been previously so credited. Such Securities shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the redemption price specified in such Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly.


 






    18 


     


    

 


Section 3.06         Redemption
of Securities for Sinking Fund.


 


Not less than 45 days (unless a shorter period
is satisfactory to the Trustee) prior to each sinking fund payment date for any series of Securities, the Company will deliver to the
Trustee an Officers’ Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for that series pursuant to the
terms of the series, the portion thereof, if any, that is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities of that series pursuant
to Section 3.05 and the basis for such credit and will, together with such Officers’ Certificate, deliver to the Trustee any
Securities to be so delivered. Not less than 30 days before each such sinking fund payment date the Trustee shall select the Securities
to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 3.02 and cause notice of the redemption thereof
to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided in Section 3.02. Such notice having been duly
given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Section 3.03.

provided herein and established with respect to such Securities.


 


Section 4.02         Maintenance
of Office or Agency.


 


So long as any series of the Securities remain
Outstanding, the Company agrees to maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York, or such other
location designated by the Company, with respect to each such series and at such other location or locations as may be designated as provided
in this Section 4.02, where (i) Securities of that series may be presented for payment, (ii) Securities of that series
may be presented as herein above authorized for registration of transfer and exchange, and (iii) notices and demands to or upon the
Company in respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may be given or served, such designation to continue with respect
to such office or agency until the Company shall, by written notice signed by its President or a Vice President and delivered to the Trustee,
designate some other office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York for such purposes or any of them. If
at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address
thereof, such presentations, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby
appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, notices and demands.


 


The Company may also from time to time
designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Securities of one or more series may be presented or surrendered for any
or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or
rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan,
the City and State of New York, or such other location designated by the Company, for Securities of any series for such purposes.
The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location
of any such other office or agency.

Section 4.03         Paying
Agents.


 


(a)          If
the Company shall appoint one or more paying agents for all or any series of the Securities, other than the Trustee, the Company will
cause each such paying agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject
to the provisions of this Section:


 


	 	(1)	that it will hold all sums held by it as such agent for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on the Securities of that series (whether such sums have been paid to it by the Company or by any other obligor of such Securities) in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto;


 


	 	(2)	that it will give the Trustee notice of any failure by the Company (or by any other obligor of such Securities) to make any payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on the Securities of that series when the same shall be due and payable;


 


	 	(3)	that it will, at any time during the continuance of any failure referred to in the preceding paragraph (a)(2) above, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such paying agent; and


 


	 	(4)	that it will perform all other duties of paying agent as set forth in this Indenture.


 


(b)          If
the Company shall act as its own paying agent with respect to any series of the Securities, it will on or before each due date of the
principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on Securities of that series, set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of
the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay such principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due on Securities of
that series until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and will promptly notify the Trustee
of such action, or any failure (by it or any other obligor on such Securities) to take such action. Whenever the Company shall have one
or more paying agents for any series of Securities, it will, prior to each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest
on any Securities of that series, deposit with the paying agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest
so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal, premium or interest, and (unless
such paying agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of this action or failure so to act.


 


(c)          Notwithstanding
anything in this Section to the contrary,


 


	 	(1)	the agreement to hold sums in trust as provided in this Section is subject to the provisions of Section 11.05, and


 


	 	(2)	the Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or direct any paying agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such paying agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same terms and conditions as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such paying agent; and, upon such payment by any paying agent to the Trustee, such paying agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.

the provisions of Article X hereof are complied with.

long as such filings by the Company are available on the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System (EDGAR),

events that has occurred and is continuing (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be occasioned by the
subordination provisions of Article XIV or other subordination provisions applicable to a series of Securities or be voluntary
or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order,
rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):


 


	 	(1)	the Company defaults in the payment of any installment of interest upon any of the Securities of that series, as and when the same shall become due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 90 days; provided, however, that a valid extension of an interest payment period by the Company in accordance with the terms of any indenture supplemental hereto shall not constitute a default in the payment of interest for this purpose;


 


	 	(2)	the Company defaults in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any of the Securities of that series as and when the same shall become due and payable whether at maturity, upon redemption, by declaration or otherwise, or in any payment required by any sinking or analogous fund established with respect to that series; provided, however, that a valid extension of the maturity of such Securities in accordance with the terms of any indenture supplemental hereto shall not constitute a default in the payment of principal or premium, if any;


 


	 	(3)	the Company fails to observe or perform any other of its covenants or agreements with respect to that series contained in this Indenture or otherwise established with respect to that series of Securities pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof (other than a covenant or agreement that has been expressly included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of one or more series of Securities other than such series) for a period of 90 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder, shall have been given to the Company by the Trustee, by registered or certified mail, or to the Company and the Trustee by the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Securities of that series at the time Outstanding;


 






    23 


     


    

 


	 	(4)	the Company pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law

    24 


     


    

 


	 	(6)	any other Event of Default provided as contemplated by Section 3.01 with respect to Securities of that Series.


 


(b)          In
each and every such case, unless the principal of all the Securities of that series shall have already become due and payable, either
the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of that series then Outstanding hereunder,
by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by such Securityholders), may declare the principal of (and premium,
if any, on) and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Securities of that series to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such
declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable.


 


(c)          At
any time after the principal of the Securities of that series shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or
decree for the payment of the moneys due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Securities of that series then Outstanding hereunder, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind
and annul such declaration and its consequences if:


 


	 	(1)	the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest upon all the Securities of that series and the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any and all Securities of that series that shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest upon such principal and premium, if any, and, to the extent that such payment is enforceable under applicable law, upon overdue installments of interest, at the rate per annum expressed in the Securities of that series to the date of such payment or deposit) and the amount payable to the Trustee under Section 7.07, and


 


	 	(2)	any and all Events of Default under the Indenture with respect to such series, other than the nonpayment of principal on Securities of that series that shall not have become due by their terms, shall have been remedied or waived as provided in Section 6.06. No such rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.


 






    25 


     


    

 


(d)          In
case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right with respect to Securities of that series under this Indenture and such proceedings
shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of such rescission or annulment or for any other reason or shall have been determined
adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceedings, the Company, and the Trustee
shall be restored respectively to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Company and
the Trustee shall continue as though no such proceedings had been taken.


 


Section 6.02         Collection
of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.


 


(a)          The
Company covenants that


 


	 	(1)	in case it shall default in the payment of any installment of interest on any of the Securities of a series, as and when the same shall have become due and payable, and such default shall have continued for a period of 90 days, or


 


	 	(2)	in case it shall default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any of the Securities of a series when the same shall have become due and payable, whether upon maturity of the Securities of a series or upon redemption or upon declaration, pursuant to any sinking or analogous fund established with respect to that series or otherwise,


 


then, upon demand of the Trustee, the Company will pay to the
Trustee, for the benefit of the holders of the Securities of that series, the whole amount that then shall have been become due and
payable on all such Securities for principal (and premium, if any) or interest, or both, as the case may be, with interest upon the
overdue principal (and premium, if any) and (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) upon
overdue installments of interest at the rate per annum expressed in the Securities of that series; and, in addition thereto, such
further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, and the amount payable to the Trustee under
Section 7.07.


 


(b)          If
the Company shall fail to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust,
shall be entitled and empowered to institute any action or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid,
and may prosecute any such action or proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against
the Company or other obligor upon the Securities of that series and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner
provided by law out of the property of the Company or other obligor upon the Securities of that series, wherever situated.


 






    26 


     


    

 


(c)            In
case of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, readjustment, arrangement, composition or judicial proceedings
affecting the Company, or its creditors or property, the Trustee shall have power to intervene in such proceedings and take any action
therein that may be permitted by the court and shall (except as may be otherwise provided by law) be entitled to file such proofs of claim
and other papers and documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and of the holders of Securities
of such series allowed for the entire amount due and payable by the Company under the Indenture at the date of institution of such proceedings
and for any additional amount that may become due and payable by the Company after such date, and to collect and receive any moneys or
other property payable or deliverable on any such claim, and to distribute the same after the deduction of the amount payable to the Trustee
under Section 7.07; and any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization is hereby authorized by each of the holders
of Securities of such series to make such payments to the Trustee, and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such
payments directly to such Securityholders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it under Section 7.07.


 


(d)            All
rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the terms established with respect to Securities of that
series, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of such Securities, or the production thereof at any trial or other
proceeding relative thereto, and any such suit or proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of
an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for payment to the Trustee of any amounts due under Section 7.07,
be for the ratable benefit of the holders of the Securities of such series. In case of an Event of Default hereunder, the Trustee may
in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings as
the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of such rights, either at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise,
whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in the Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted
in this Indenture, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law. Nothing contained
herein shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Securityholder any plan
of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities of that series or the rights of any holder thereof
or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Securityholder in any such proceeding.


 


Section 6.03          Application
of Moneys Collected.


 


Any moneys collected by the Trustee pursuant to
this Article with respect to a particular series of Securities shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed
by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such moneys on account of principal (or premium, if any) or interest, upon presentation
of the Securities of that series, and notation thereon of the payment, if only partially paid, and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:


 


FIRST: To the payment of costs and expenses of
collection and of all amounts payable to the Trustee under Section 7.07;


 


SECOND: To the payment of all Senior Indebtedness
of the Company if and to the extent required by Article XIV or other subordination provisions applicable with respect to such series;

such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Securities
for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, respectively; and


 


FOURTH: To the payment of the remainder, if any,
to the Company or any other Person lawfully entitled thereto.


 


Section 6.04          Limitation
on Suits.


 


No holder of any Security of any series shall have
any right by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law
upon or under or with respect to this Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless


 


	 	(1)	such holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of an Event of Default and of the continuance thereof with respect to the Securities of such series specifying such Event of Default, as hereinbefore provided;


 


	 	(2)	the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series then Outstanding shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as trustee hereunder;


 


	 	(3)	such holder or holders shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby; and


 


	 	(4)	the Trustee for 90 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have failed to institute any such action, suit or proceeding and


 


 


	 	(5)	during such 90 day period, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of that series do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the right of any holder of any Security to receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such Security, as therein provided, on the respective due dates expressed in such Security (or in the case of redemption, on the redemption date), or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates or redemption date, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such holder and by accepting a Security hereunder it is expressly understood, intended and covenanted by the taker and holder of every Security of such series with every other such taker and holder and the Trustee, that no one or more holders of Securities of such series shall have any right in any manner whatsoever by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the holders of any other of such Securities, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such holder, or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all holders of Securities of such series. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section, each and every Securityholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any other powers and remedies available to the Trustee
or the holders of the Securities, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the covenants and
agreements contained in this Indenture or otherwise established with respect to such Securities.


 


(b)            No
delay or omission of the Trustee or of any holder of any of the Securities to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event of Default
occurring and continuing as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or
on acquiescence therein; and, subject to the provisions of Section 6.04, every power and remedy given by this Article or by
law to the Trustee or the Securityholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee
or by the Securityholders.


 


Section 6.06          Control
by Securityholders.


 


The holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Securities of any series at the time Outstanding, determined in accordance with Section 8.01, shall have the right
to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or
power conferred on the Trustee with respect to such series; provided, however, that such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of
law or with this Indenture or be unduly prejudicial to the rights of holders of Securities of any other series at the time Outstanding
determined in accordance with Section 8.01. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, the Trustee shall have the right to decline
to follow any such direction if the Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee, determine that the
proceeding so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability. The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Securities of any series at the time Outstanding affected thereby, determined in accordance with Section 8.01, may on behalf of the
holders of all of the Securities of such series waive any past default in the performance of any of the covenants contained herein or
established pursuant to Section 2.01 with respect to such series and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal
of (or premium, if any) or interest on, any of the Securities of that series as and when the same shall become due by the terms of such
Securities otherwise than by acceleration (unless such default has been cured and a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of
interest and principal and any premium has been deposited with the Trustee (in accordance with Section 6.01(c)) or in respect of
a covenant or provision hereof which under Article IX cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder of each Outstanding
Security affected. Upon any such waiver, the default covered thereby shall be deemed to be cured for all purposes of this Indenture and
the Company, the Trustee and the holders of the Securities of such series shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder,
respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 6.07          Undertaking
to Pay Costs.


 


All parties to this Indenture agree, and each holder
of any Securities by such holder’s acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require,
in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or
omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such
court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit,
having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall
not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Securityholder, or group of Securityholders, holding more
than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, or to any suit instituted by any Securityholder for
the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Security of such series, on or after the respective
due dates expressed in such Security or established pursuant to this Indenture.


 


ARTICLE VII

CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE


 


Section 7.01          Certain
Duties and Responsibilities of Trustee.


 


(a)            The
Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of a series and after the curing of all Events
of Default with respect to the Securities of that series that may have occurred, shall undertake to perform with respect to the Securities
of such series such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants shall be read
into this Indenture against the Trustee. In case an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of a series has occurred (that has
not been cured or waived), the Trustee shall exercise with respect to Securities of that series 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 man would exercise or use under the circumstances
in the conduct of his own affairs.


 


(b)            No
provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure
to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:


 


	 	(1)	prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of a series and after the curing or waiving of all such Events of Default with respect to that series that may have occurred: the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall with respect to the Securities of such series be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to the Securities of such series except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may with respect to the Securities of such series conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions that by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirement of this Indenture;


  






     30


     


    

 


	 	(2)	the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee, was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;


 


	 	(3)	the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities of any series at the time Outstanding relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee under this Indenture with respect to the Securities of that series; and


 


	 	(4)	None of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or liability is not reasonably assured to it under the terms of this Indenture or adequate indemnity against such risk is not reasonably assured to it.


 


Section 7.02          Notice
of Defaults.


 


If a Default occurs hereunder with respect to Securities
of any series and is known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall give the holders of Securities of such series notice
of such Default as and to the extent provided by the Trust Indenture Act; provided, however, that in the case of any Default of the character
specified in clause (3) of Section 6.01(a) with respect to Securities of such series, no such notice to holders shall be
given until at least 30 days after the occurrence thereof.


 


Section 7.03          Certain
Rights of Trustee.


 


Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.01:


 


(a)            The
Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion,
report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond, security or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have
been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;


 


(b)            Any
request, direction, order or demand of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution or an instrument
signed in the name of the Company, by the President or any Vice President and by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or the Treasurer
or an Assistant Treasurer thereof (unless other evidence in respect thereof is specifically prescribed herein);


 






     31


     


    

 


(c)            The
Trustee may consult with counsel and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization
and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon;


 


(d)            The
Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or direction
of any of the Securityholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Securityholders shall have offered to the Trustee
reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred therein or thereby; nothing contained
herein shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the obligation, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to a series of the
Securities (that has not been cured or waived) to exercise with respect to Securities of that series such of the rights and powers vested
in it by this Indenture, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under
the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs;


 


(e)            The
Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within
the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture;


 


(f)            The
Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement,
instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond, security, or other papers or documents, unless
requested in writing so to do by the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of the
particular series affected thereby (determined as provided in Section 8.04); provided, however, that if the payment within a
reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation
is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this
Indenture, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such costs, expenses or liabilities as a condition to so proceeding.
The reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by the Company or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be repaid by the
Company upon demand; and


 


(g)            The
Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys
and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care
by it hereunder.


 


Section 7.04          Trustee
Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance or Securities.


 


(a)            The
recitals contained herein and in the Securities shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility
for the correctness of the same.


 


(b)            The
Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities.


  






     32


     


    

 


(c)            The
Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of any of the Securities or of the proceeds of such Securities,
or for the use or application of any moneys paid over by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture or established
pursuant to Section 2.01, or for the use or application of any moneys received by any paying agent other than the Trustee.


 


Section 7.05          May Hold
Securities.


 


The Trustee or any paying agent or Security Registrar,
in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities with the same rights it would have if it were not
Trustee, paying agent or Security Registrar.


 


Section 7.06          Moneys
Held in Trust.


 


Subject to the provisions of Section 11.05,
all moneys received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were
received, but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for
interest on any moneys received by it hereunder except such as it may agree with the Company to pay thereon.


 


Section 7.07          Compensation
and Reimbursement.


 


(a)            The
Company covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, such reasonable compensation (which shall
not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust), as the Company, and the
Trustee may from time to time agree in writing, for all services rendered by it in the execution of the trusts hereby created and in
the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties hereunder of the Trustee, and, except as otherwise expressly provided
herein, the Company will pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances
incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation
and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all Persons not regularly in its employ) except any such expense,
disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith. The Company also covenants to indemnify the Trustee (and its
officers, agents, directors and employees) for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without
negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this
trust, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim of liability in the premises.


 


(b)            The
obligations of the Company under this Section to compensate and indemnify the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for expenses,
disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder. Such additional indebtedness shall be secured by a lien
prior to that of the Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the
benefit of the holders of particular Securities.


 


(c)            The
obligations of the Company under this Section shall not be subordinated to the payment of Senior Indebtedness.


  






     33


     


    

 


Section 7.08          Reliance
on Officers’ Certificate.


 


Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.01,
whenever in the administration of the provisions of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved
or established prior to taking or suffering or omitting to take any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof
be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively
proved and established by an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee and such certificate, in the absence of negligence or
bad faith on the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it
under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof.


 


Section 7.09          Disqualification;
Conflicting Interests.


 


If the Trustee has or shall acquire any “conflicting
interest” within the meaning of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee and the Company shall in all respects
comply with the provisions of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act, subject to the penultimate paragraph thereof.


 


Section 7.10          Corporate
Trustee Required; Eligibility.


 


There shall at all times be a Trustee with respect
to the Securities issued hereunder which shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United
States of America or any State or Territory thereof or of the District of Columbia, or a corporation or other Person permitted to act
as trustee by the Commission, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of
at least 100 million U.S. dollars ($100,000,000), and subject to supervision or examination by Federal, State, Territorial, or District
of Columbia authority. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of
the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation
shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. The Company may
not, nor may any Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Company, serve as Trustee.
In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall resign
immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 7.11.


 


Section 7.11          Resignation
and Removal; Appointment of Successor.


 


(a)            The
Trustee or any successor hereafter appointed, may at any time resign with respect to the Securities of one or more series by giving
written notice thereof to the Company and by transmitting notice of resignation by mail, first class postage prepaid, to the
Securityholders of such series, as their names and addresses appear upon the Security Register. Upon receiving such notice of
resignation, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor trustee with respect to Securities of such series by written instrument,
in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee
and one copy to the successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30
days after the mailing of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor trustee with respect to Securities of such series, or any Securityholder of that series who has been a
bona fide holder of a Security or Securities for at least six months may on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated,
petition any such court for the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon after such notice, if any, as it may
deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee.


 






     34


     


    

 


(b)            In
case at any time any one of the following shall occur:


 


	 	(1)	the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of Section 7.09 after written request therefor by the Company or by any Securityholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Security or Securities for at least six months; or


 


	 	(2)	the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.10 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Securityholder; or


 


	 	(3)	the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or commence a voluntary bankruptcy proceeding, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or consented to, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then, in any such case, the Company may remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee, or, unless, in the case of a failure to comply with Section 7.09, the Trustee’s duty to resign is stayed as provided in the penultimate paragraph of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act, any Securityholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Security or Securities for at least six months may, on behalf of that holder and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee.


 


(c)            The
holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any series at the time Outstanding may at any time remove the
Trustee with respect to such series by so notifying the Trustee and the Company and may appoint a successor Trustee for such series with
the consent of the Company.


 


(d)            Any
resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee with respect to the Securities of a series pursuant to any
of the provisions of this Section shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 7.12.


 






     35


     


    

 


(e)            Any
successor trustee appointed pursuant to this Section may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more series or all
of such series, and at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any particular series.


 


Section 7.12          Acceptance
of Appointment By Successor.


 


(a)            In
case of the appointment hereunder of a successor trustee with respect to all Securities, every such successor trustee so appointed shall
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the
resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance,
shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company or the
successor trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor
trustee all the rights, powers, and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor trustee
all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder.


 


(b)            In
case of the appointment hereunder of a successor trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company,
the retiring Trustee and each successor trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture
supplemental hereto wherein each successor trustee shall accept such appointment and which


 


	 	(1)	shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor trustee relates,


 


	 	(2)	shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and


 


	 	(3)	shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust, that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee and that no Trustee shall be responsible for any act or failure to act on the part of any other Trustee hereunder; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein, such retiring Trustee shall with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor trustee relates have no further responsibility for the exercise of rights and powers or for the performance of the duties and obligations vested in the Trustee under this Indenture, and each such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor trustee relates; but, on request of the Company or any successor trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor trustee, to the extent contemplated by such supplemental indenture, the property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor trustee relates.


 






     36


     


    

 


(c)            Upon
request of any such successor trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming
to such successor trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, as the case
may be.


 


(d)            No
successor trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be qualified and eligible
under this Article.


 


(e)            Upon
acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section, the Company shall transmit notice of the succession of such
trustee hereunder by mail, first class postage prepaid, to the Securityholders, as their names and addresses appear upon the Security
Register. If the Company fails to transmit such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor
trustee shall cause such notice to be transmitted at the expense of the Company.


 


Section 7.13          Merger,
Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.


 


Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged
or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which
the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of
the Trustee hereunder, provided that such corporation shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 7.09 and eligible under
the provisions of Section 7.10, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties
hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the
Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication
and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities.


 


Section 7.14          Preferential
Collection of Claims Against the Company.


 


The Trustee shall comply with Section 311(a) of
the Trust Indenture Act, excluding any creditor relationship described in Section 311(b) of the Trust Indenture Act. A Trustee
who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act to the extent included therein.

ARTICLE VIII

CONCERNING THE SECURITYHOLDERS


 


Section 8.01          Evidence
of Action by Securityholders.


 


Whenever in this Indenture it is provided
that the holders of a majority or specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of a particular series may
take any action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any
other action), the fact that at the time of taking any such action the holders of such majority or specified percentage of that
series have joined therein may be evidenced by any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by such holders
of Securities of that series in Person or by agent or proxy appointed in writing. If the Company shall solicit from the
Securityholders of any series any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, the Company
may, at its option, as evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate, fix in advance a record date for such series for the
determination of Securityholders entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
action, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action may be given before or after the record date, but only the Securityholders of
record at the close of business on the record date shall be deemed to be Securityholders for the purposes of determining whether
Securityholders of the requisite proportion of Outstanding Securities of that series have authorized or agreed or consented to such
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, and for that purpose the Outstanding Securities
of that series shall be computed as of the record date; provided, however, that no such authorization, agreement or consent by such
Securityholders on the record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this
Indenture not later than six months after the record date.


 


Section 8.02          Proof
of Execution by Securityholders.


 


Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01,
proof of the execution of any instrument by a Securityholder (such proof will not require notarization) or his agent or proxy and proof
of the holding by any Person of any of the Securities shall be sufficient if made in the following manner:


 


	 	(a)	The fact and date of the execution by any such Person of any instrument may be proved in any reasonable manner acceptable to the Trustee.


 


	 	(b)	The ownership of Securities shall be proved by the Security Register of such Securities or by a certificate of the Security Registrar thereof.


 


	 	(c)	The Trustee may require such additional proof of any matter referred to in this Section as it shall deem necessary.


 






     38


     


    

 


Section 8.03          Who
May be Deemed Owners.


 


Prior to the due presentment for registration of
transfer of any Security, the Company, the Trustee, any paying agent and any Security Registrar may deem and treat the Person in whose
name such Security shall be registered upon the books of the Company as the absolute owner of such Security (whether or not such Security
shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notice of ownership or writing thereon made by anyone other than the Security Registrar) for
the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 2.03) interest
on such Security and for all other purposes; and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any paying agent nor any Security Registrar shall
be affected by any notice to the contrary.


 


Section 8.04          Certain
Securities Owned by Company Disregarded.


 


In determining whether the holders of the requisite
aggregate principal amount of Securities of a particular series have concurred in any direction, consent of waiver under this Indenture,
the Securities of that series that are owned by the Company or any other obligor on the Securities of that series or by any Person directly
or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under common control with the Company or any other obligor on the Securities of that series
shall be disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding for the purpose of any such determination, except that for the purpose of determining
whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, consent or waiver, only Securities of such series that the Trustee
actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. The Securities so owned that have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as Outstanding
for the purposes of this Section, if the pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act
with respect to such Securities and that the pledgee is not a Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct
or indirect common control with the Company or any such other obligor. In case of a dispute as to such right, any decision by the Trustee
taken upon the advice of counsel shall be full protection to the Trustee.


 


Section 8.05          Actions
Binding on Future Securityholders.


 


At any time prior to (but not after) the
evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section 8.01, of the taking of any action by the holders of the majority or
percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of a particular series specified in this Indenture in connection with
such action, any holder of a Security of that series that is shown by the evidence to be included in the Securities the holders of
which have consented to such action may, by filing written notice with the Trustee, and upon proof of holding as provided in
Section 8.02, revoke such action so far as concerns such Security. Except as aforesaid any such action taken by the holder of
any Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future holders and owners of such Security, and of any
Security issued in exchange therefor, on registration of transfer thereof or in place thereof, irrespective of whether or not any
notation in regard thereto is made upon such Security. Any action taken by the holders of the majority or percentage in aggregate
principal amount of the Securities of a particular series specified in this Indenture in connection with such action shall be
conclusively binding upon the Company, the Trustee and the holders of all the Securities of that series.

     40


     


    

 


	 	(9)	to comply with any requirements of the Commission or any successor in connection with the qualification of this Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act.


 


The Trustee is hereby authorized to join with the
Company in the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may

own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.


 


Any supplemental indenture authorized by the provisions
of this Section may be executed by the Company and the Trustee without the consent of the holders of any of the Securities at the
time Outstanding, notwithstanding any of the provisions of Section 9.02.


 


Section 9.02          Supplemental
Indentures With Consent of Securityholders.


 


With the consent (evidenced as provided in Section 8.01)
of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each series affected by such supplemental
indenture or indentures at the time Outstanding, the Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may from time to
time and at any time enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto (which shall conform to the provisions of the Trust Indenture
Act as then in effect) for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this
Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner not covered by Section 9.01 the rights of the holders of
the Securities of such series under this Indenture; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent
of the holders of each Security then Outstanding and affected thereby:


 


(1)            extend
the maturity of the principal of, or any installment of principal of or interest on, any Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof,
or reduce the rate of interest or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any premium payable upon the redemption thereof,
or reduce the amount of the principal of an Original Issue Discount Security or any other Security which would be due and payable upon
a declaration of acceleration of the maturity thereof pursuant to Section 6.01 or change the coin or currency in which any Security
or any premium or interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after
the maturity thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the redemption date), or


 


(2)            reduce
the percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, the consent of whose holders is required for any such
supplemental indenture, or the consent of whose holders is required for any waiver of certain defaults hereunder and their consequences
provided for in this Indenture, or


 


(3)            modify
any of the provisions of this Section or Section 6.06 relating to waivers of default, except to increase any such percentage
or to provide that certain other provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the holder of each Outstanding
Security affected thereby; provided, however, that this clause shall not be deemed to require the consent of any holder with respect to
changes in the references to “the Trustee” and concomitant changes in this Section, or the deletion of this proviso, in accordance
with the requirements of Sections 7.12 and 9.01(8), or


 






     41


     


    

 


(4)            modify
the provisions of this Indenture with respect to the subordination of such Security in a manner adverse to the holder thereof.


 


A supplemental indenture which changes or eliminates
any covenant or other provision of this Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series
of Securities, or which modifies the rights of the holders of Securities of such series with respect to such covenant or other provision,
shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture of the holders of Securities of any other series. It shall not be necessary
for the consent of the Securityholders of any series affected thereby under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed
supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof.


 


Section 9.03         Effect
of Supplemental Indentures.


 


Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture
pursuant to the provisions of this Article or of Section 10.01, this Indenture shall, with respect to such series, be and be
deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith and the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities
under this Indenture of the Trustee, the Company and the holders of Securities of the series affected thereby shall thereafter be determined,
exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments, and all the terms and conditions of any
such supplemental indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes.


 


Section 9.04         Securities
Affected by Supplemental Indentures.


 


Securities of any series, affected by a supplemental
indenture, authenticated and delivered after the execution of such supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article or
of Section 10.01, may bear a notation in form approved by the Company, provided such form meets the requirements of any exchange
upon which such series may be listed, as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Company shall so determine,
new Securities of that series so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Board of Directors of the Company, to any modification
of this Indenture contained in any such supplemental indenture may be prepared by the Company, authenticated by the Trustee and delivered
in exchange for the Securities of that series then Outstanding.


 


Section 9.05         Execution
of Supplemental Indentures.


 


Upon the request of the Company, accompanied by
its Board Resolutions authorizing the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence of
the consent of Securityholders required to consent thereto as aforesaid, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of such
supplemental indenture unless such supplemental indenture affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture
or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion but shall not be obligated to enter into such supplemental indenture. The
Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, may receive an Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive
evidence that any supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article is authorized or permitted by, and conforms to, the terms
of this Article and that it is proper for the Trustee under the provisions of this Article to join in the execution thereof;
provided, however, that such Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel need not be provided in connection with the execution of
a supplemental indenture that establishes the terms of a series of Securities pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof.


 






     42


     


    

 


Promptly after the execution by the Company
and the Trustee of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall transmit by mail, first
class postage prepaid, a notice, setting forth in general terms the substance of such supplemental indenture, to the Securityholders
of all series affected thereby as their names and addresses appear upon the Security Register. Any failure of the Trustee to mail
such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental
indenture.

SUCCESSOR ENTITY


 


Section 10.01        Company
May Consolidate, Etc.


 


Except as provided pursuant to Section 2.01
pursuant to a Board Resolution, and set forth in an Officer’s Certificate, or established in one or more indentures supplemental

with or into any other Person (whether or not affiliated with the Company) or successive consolidations or mergers in which the Company
or its successor or successors shall be a party or parties, or shall prevent any sale, conveyance, transfer or other disposition of the
property of the Company or its successor or successors as an entirety, or substantially as an entirety, to any other Person (whether or
not affiliated with the Company or its successor or successors) authorized to acquire and operate the same; provided, however, the Company
hereby covenants and agrees that, upon any such consolidation or merger (in each case, if the Company is not the survivor of such transaction),
sale, conveyance, transfer or other disposition, (a) the due and punctual payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest
on all of the Securities of all series in accordance with the terms of each series, according to their tenor and the due and punctual
performance and observance of all the covenants and conditions of this Indenture or established with respect to each series of Securities
pursuant to Section 2.01 to be kept or performed by the Company shall be expressly assumed, by supplemental indenture (which shall
conform to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, as then in effect) satisfactory in form to the Trustee executed and delivered to
the Trustee by the entity formed by such consolidation, or into which the Company shall have been merged, or by the entity which shall
have acquired such property and (b) in the event that the Securities of any series then Outstanding are convertible into or exchangeable
for shares of common stock or other securities of the Company, such entity shall, by such supplemental indenture, make provision so that
the Securityholders of Securities of that series shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion or exchange of such Securities
the number of securities or property to which a holder of the number of shares of common stock or other securities of the Company deliverable
upon conversion or exchange of those Securities would have been entitled had such conversion or exchange occurred immediately prior to
such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or other disposition.

Section 10.02        Successor
Entity Substituted.


 


(a)            In

by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the obligations set forth
under Section 10.01 on all of the Securities of all series Outstanding and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants
and conditions of this Indenture or established with respect to each series of the Securities pursuant to Section 2.01 to be performed
by the Company, such successor entity shall succeed to and be substituted for the Company with the same effect as if it had been named
as the Company herein, and thereupon the predecessor corporation shall be relieved of all obligations and covenants under this Indenture
and the Securities.


 


(b)            In
case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or other disposition such changes in phraseology and form (but not
in substance) may be made in the Securities thereafter to be issued as may be appropriate.


 


(c)            Nothing
contained in this Article shall require any action by the Company in the case of a consolidation or merger of any Person into
the Company where the Company is the survivor of such transaction, or the acquisition by the Company, by purchase or otherwise, of
all or any part of the property of any other Person (whether or not affiliated with the Company).

ARTICLE XI

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE; DEFEASANCE


 


Section 11.01        Satisfaction
and Discharge.


 


This Indenture will be discharged and will cease
to be of further effect with respect to a series of Securities (except as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange
of such series of Securities herein expressly provided for), and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments
acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to such series, when:


 


	 	(1)	either (A) all Securities of that series theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (i) any Securities that shall have been destroyed, lost or stolen and that shall have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.07 and (ii) Securities for whose payment money or noncallable Governmental Obligations have theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 11.05) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or (B) all Securities of such series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (i) have become due and payable, or (ii) will by their terms become due and payable within one year or (iii) are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption, and the Company shall deposit or cause to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for the purpose (x) moneys in an amount, or (y) noncallable Governmental Obligations the scheduled principal of and interest on which in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than the due date of any payment, money in an amount, or (z) a combination thereof, sufficient, in the case of (y) or (z), 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, at maturity or upon redemption, all Securities of that series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, including principal (and premium, if any) and interest due or to become due to such date of maturity or date fixed for redemption, as the case may be;


 


	 	(2)	the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder with respect to such series by the Company; and


 


	 	(3)	the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all the conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to such series of Securities have been complied with.


 


Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge
of this Indenture with respect to a series of Securities, the obligations of the Trustee under Section 7.07 and, if money shall have
been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (y) of clause (1) of this Section, the obligations of the Trustee under
Sections 11.03 and 11.05 shall survive.





 






    43


     


    

 


Section 11.02         Defeasance.


 


The Company may, at its option and at any time
(including notwithstanding the exercise by the Company of a Covenant Defeasance (as defined herein)), elect to have its obligations discharged
with respect to a series of the Securities (“Legal Defeasance”). Such Legal Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed
to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by such series of Securities, except for (a) the rights of holders
to receive payments in respect of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Securities when such payments are due solely
from the trust fund described in this Section, (b) the Company’s obligations with respect to such series of Securities concerning
issuing temporary Securities, registration of transfer or exchange of such series of Securities, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
Securities of such series and the maintenance of an office or agency for payments, (c) the rights, powers, trust, duties and immunities
of the Trustee and the Company’s obligations in connection therewith and (d) the Legal Defeasance provisions of this Indenture.
In addition, the Company may, at its option and at any time, elect to have the obligations of the Company released with respect to covenants
provided with respect to such series of Securities under Section 2.01(15), 9.01(4) and 9.01(7) of this Indenture (“Covenant
Defeasance”) and thereafter any omission to comply with such obligations shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default with
respect to such series of Securities. In the event of Covenant Defeasance, those events described under Section 6.01(a) with
respect to the foregoing covenants will no longer constitute an Event of Default with respect to such series of Securities.


 


In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or
Covenant Defeasance:


  


	 	(1)	the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the holders of such series, (A) moneys in an amount, or (B) noncallable Governmental Obligations the scheduled principal of and interest on which in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than the due date of any payment, money in an amount, or (C) a combination thereof, sufficient, in the case of (B) or (C), 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, at maturity or upon redemption, the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such series of Securities on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be;


 


	 	(2)	in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that (A) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (B) since the date of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the holders of such series of Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;


 


	 	(3)	in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that the holders of such series of Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;


 






    44


     


    




	 	(4)	no Default or Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such series shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or insofar as Events of Default under clauses (4) and (5) of Section 6.01(a) are concerned, at any time in the period ending on the 91st day after the date of deposit;


 


	 	(5)	the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for or relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, have been complied with; and


 


	 	(6)	if such series of Securities are to be redeemed prior to final maturity (other than from mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments), notice of such redemption shall have been duly given pursuant to this Indenture or provision therefor satisfactory to the Trustee shall have been made.


 


Section 11.03         Deposited
Moneys to be Held in Trust.


  


All moneys or Governmental Obligations deposited
with the Trustee pursuant to Sections 11.01 or 11.02 shall be held in trust and shall be available for payment as due, either directly
or through any paying agent (including the Company acting as its own paying agent), to the holders of the particular series of Securities
for the payment or redemption of which such moneys or Governmental Obligations have been deposited with the Trustee. Funds held pursuant
to this Section with respect to any series of Securities shall not be subject to the claims of the holders of Senior Indebtedness
with respect to such series, provided, that at the time of the deposit of such funds with the Trustee under this Article, no event had
occurred that would, under the subordination provisions related to such series, require that any payment to be made to the holders of
such Securities be paid or paid over to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness.


 


Section 11.04         Payment
of Moneys Held by Paying Agents.


 


In connection with the satisfaction and discharge
of this Indenture all moneys or Governmental Obligations then held by any paying agent under the provisions of this Indenture shall, upon
demand of the Company, be paid to the Trustee and thereupon such paying agent shall be released from all further liability with respect
to such moneys or Governmental Obligations.


 


Section 11.05         Repayment
to Company.


 


Any moneys or Governmental Obligations deposited
with any paying agent or the Trustee, or then held by the Company, in trust for payment of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest
on the Securities of a particular series that are not applied but remain unclaimed by the holders of such Securities for at least two
years after the date upon which the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on such Securities shall have respectively become due
and payable, or such other shorter period set forth in applicable escheat or abandoned property law, shall be repaid to the Company on
May 31 of each year or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and thereupon the paying agent and the
Trustee shall be released from all further liability with respect to such moneys or Governmental Obligations, and the holder of any of
the Securities entitled to receive such payment shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for the payment
thereof as an unsecured general creditor, unless an abandoned property law designates another Person.


 


Section 11.06         Reinstatement.


 


If the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee
or any paying agent appointed as provided herein) is unable to apply any moneys or Government Obligations in accordance with this
Article 11 by reason of any legal proceeding or any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining,
restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Securities
of such series shall be revived and reinstated as though no such deposit had occurred, until such time as the Trustee (or other
qualifying trustee or paying agent) is permitted to apply all such moneys and Government Obligations in accordance with this
Article 11; provided, however , that if the Company makes any payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest if
any, on the Securities of such series following the reinstatement of its obligations as aforesaid, the Company shall be subrogated
to the rights of the Securityholders to receive such payment from the funds held by the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee or
paying agent).

corporation, either directly or through the Company or any such predecessor or successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution,
statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly understood that this

duties shall control. If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act which may be so
modified or excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to apply to this Indenture as so modified or to be excluded, as the case may
be.


 


Section 13.10        Counterparts.


 


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


 


Section 13.11        Separability.


 


In case any one or more of the provisions contained
in this Indenture or in the Securities of any series shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect,
such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Indenture or of such Securities, but this
Indenture and such Securities shall be construed as if such invalid or illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein
or therein.


 


ARTICLE XIV

SUBORDINATION OF SECURITIES


  


Section 14.01        Securities
Subordinate to Senior Indebtedness.


 


The Company covenants and agrees that the indebtedness
evidenced by each series of Securities is subordinate and junior in right of payment to all Senior Indebtedness to the extent provided
in this Article XIV or as further provided in an indenture supplemental hereto or a Board Resolution with respect to a series of
Securities adopted pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof, and each holder of Securities of each series, by his acceptance thereof, likewise
covenants and agrees to such subordination and shall be bound by the provisions thereof. Senior Indebtedness shall continue to be Senior
Indebtedness and entitled to the benefits of these subordination provisions irrespective of any amendment, modification or waiver of any
term of the Senior Indebtedness or extension or renewal of the Senior Indebtedness.


 


In the event that the Company shall default
in the payment of any principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Senior Indebtedness when the same becomes due and
payable, whether at maturity or at a date fixed for prepayment or by declaration or otherwise, then, upon written notice of such
default to the Company by the holders of Senior Indebtedness or any trustee or representative thereof, unless and until such default
shall have been cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist, no direct or indirect payment (in cash, property, securities, by
set-off or otherwise) shall be made or agreed to be made on account of the principal of or interest on any of the Securities, or in
respect of any redemption, retirement, purchase or other acquisition of any of the Securities.


 






    48


     


    

 


In the event of


 


(a)            any
insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization, readjustment, composition or other similar proceeding relating to the
Company, its creditors or its property,


 


(b)            any
proceeding for the liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of the Company, voluntary or involuntary, whether or not involving insolvency
or bankruptcy proceedings,


 


(c)            any
assignment by the Company for the benefit of creditors, or


 


(d)            any
other marshalling of the assets of the Company, all Senior Indebtedness shall first be paid in full before any payment or distribution,
whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made to any holder of any of the Securities on account thereof. Any payment or
distribution, whether in cash, securities or other property (other than securities of the Company or any other corporation provided for
by a plan of reorganization or readjustment the payment of which is subordinate, at least to the extent provided in the subordination
provisions applicable to a series of the Securities, to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness at the time outstanding and to any securities
issued in respect thereof under any such plan of reorganization or readjustment), which would otherwise (but for the applicable subordination
provisions) be payable or deliverable in respect of the Securities of any series shall be paid or delivered directly to the holders of
Senior Indebtedness in accordance with the priorities then existing among such holders until all Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid
in full.


 


In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment
or distribution of any character or any security, whether in cash, securities or other property (other than securities of the Company
or any other corporation provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment the payment of which is subordinate, at least to the
extent provided in the subordination provisions applicable to a series of the Securities, to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness at
the time outstanding and to any securities issued in respect thereof under any such plan of reorganization or readjustment), shall be
received by the Trustee or any holder in contravention of any of the terms hereof, such payment or distribution or security shall be
received in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered and transferred to, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness
at the time outstanding in accordance with the priorities then existing among such holders for application to the payment of all Senior
Indebtedness remaining unpaid, to the extent necessary to pay all such Senior Indebtedness in full. In the event of the failure of the
Trustee or any holder to endorse or assign any such payment, distribution or security, each holder of Senior Indebtedness is hereby irrevocably
authorized to endorse or assign the same.


 


No present or future holder of any Senior Indebtedness
shall be prejudiced in the right to enforce subordination of the indebtedness evidenced by the Securities by any act or failure to act
on the part of the Company. Nothing contained herein shall impair, as between the Company and the holders of Securities of each series,
the obligation of the Company to pay to such holders the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such Securities or prevent
the Trustee or the holder from exercising all rights, powers and remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law or hereunder upon an Event
of Default hereunder, all subject to the rights of the holders of the Senior Indebtedness to receive cash, securities or other property
otherwise payable or deliverable to the holders.


 


Senior Indebtedness shall not be deemed to
have been paid in full unless the holders thereof shall have received cash, securities or other property equal to the amount of such
Senior Indebtedness then outstanding. Upon the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness, the holders of Securities of each series
shall be subrogated to all rights of any holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive any further payments or distributions applicable
to the Senior Indebtedness until the indebtedness evidenced by the Securities of such series shall have been paid in full, and such
payments or distributions received by such holders, by reason of such subrogation, of cash, securities or other property which
otherwise would be paid or distributed to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, shall, as between the Company and its creditors other
than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, on the one hand, and such holders, on the other hand, be deemed to be a payment by the
Company on account of Senior Indebtedness, and not on account of the Securities of such series.


 






    49


     


    

 


The Trustee and holders will take such action (including,
without limitation, the delivery of this Indenture, an indenture supplemental hereto or Board Resolution containing subordination provisions
applicable to a series of the Securities to an agent for the holders of Senior Indebtedness or consent to the filing of a financing statement
with respect thereto) as may, in the opinion of counsel designated by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Senior Indebtedness
at the time outstanding, be necessary or appropriate to assure the effectiveness of the subordination of the Securities.


 


Section 14.02          Trustee
and Holders May Rely on Certificate of Liquidating Agent; Trustee May Require Further Evidence as to Ownership of Senior Indebtedness.


 


Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the
Company referred to in this Article XIV or other subordination provisions applicable to a series of the Securities, the Trustee and
the holders shall be entitled to rely on an order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction in which dissolution or winding
up or liquidation or reorganization or arrangement pleadings are pending or upon a certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver,
assignee for the benefit of creditors or other Person making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the holders,
for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and other
indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts
pertinent thereto or to this Article XIV or other subordination provisions applicable to a series of the Securities. In the absence
of any such bankruptcy trustee, receiver, assignee or other Person, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon a written notice by a Person
representing himself to be a holder of Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee or representative on behalf of such holder) as evidence that
such Person is a holder of Senior Indebtedness (or is such a trustee or representative). In the event that the Trustee determines, in
good faith, that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Senior Indebtedness to participate
in any payments or distributions pursuant to this Article XIV or other subordination provisions applicable to a series of the Securities,
the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Senior Indebtedness
held by such Person, as to the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, and as to other
facts pertinent to the rights of such Person, and if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may refuse to offer any payment to such
Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment. The Trustee, however, shall not be deemed
to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness.


 


Section 14.03         Payment
Permitted if No Default.


 


Nothing contained in this Article XIV or
other subordination provisions applicable to a series of the Securities shall prevent (a) the Company, at any time except
during the pendency of any dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization proceedings referred to in, or under the
conditions described in, Section 14.01 (or comparable conditions contained in other subordination provisions applicable to a
series of the Securities), from making payments at any time of the principal of or interest on the Securities or (b) the
application by the Trustee or any paying agent of any monies deposited with it hereunder to payments of the principal of or interest
on a series of the Securities if, at the time of such deposit, the Trustee or such paying agent, as the case may be, did not have
the written notice provided for in Section 14.04 (or in a comparable notice provision contained in other subordination
provisions applicable to a series of the Securities) of any event prohibiting the making of such deposit, or if, at the time of such
deposit (whether or not in trust) by the Company with the Trustee or any paying agent (other than the Company) such payment would
not have been prohibited by the provisions of the subordination provisions applicable to such series of Securities, and the Trustee
or any paying agent shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary received by it on or after such date.


 






    50


     


    

 





Section 14.04         Trustee
Not Charged with Knowledge of Prohibition.


 


Nothing contained in this Article XIV or other
subordination provisions applicable to a series of the Securities to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall not at any time be
charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts which would prohibit the making of any payment of monies hereunder to or by the Trustee
and shall be entitled conclusively to assume that no such facts exist and that no event specified in Section 14.01 (or comparable
event contained in other subordination provisions applicable to a series of the Securities) has happened, until the Trustee shall have
received an Officers’ Certificate to that effect or notice in writing to that effect signed by or on behalf of the holder or holders,
or their representatives, of Senior Indebtedness who shall have been certified by the Company or otherwise established to the reasonable
satisfaction of the Trustee to be such holder or holders or representatives or from any trustee under any indenture pursuant to which
such Senior Indebtedness shall be outstanding; provided that, if prior to the third Business Day preceding the date upon which by the
terms hereof any monies become payable hereunder (including, without limitation, the payment of either the principal of or interest on
any Security), or in the event of the execution of an instrument pursuant to Sections 11.01 or 11.02, then if prior to the second Business
Day preceding the date of such execution, the Trustee or any paying agent shall not have received with respect to such monies the Officers’
Certificate or notice provided for in this Section 14.04, then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee
or such paying agent shall have full power and authority to receive such monies and apply the same to the purpose for which they were
received by it on or after such date. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee and to the paying agent of any facts
known to the Company which would prohibit the payment of monies to or by the Trustee or any paying agent.


 


Section 14.05         Trustee
to Effectuate Subordination.


 


Each holder of Securities by his acceptance thereof
authorizes and directs the Trustee in his behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination
as between such holder and holders of Senior Indebtedness, as provided in this Article (or other subordination provisions applicable
to a series of the Securities), and appoints the Trustee its attorney-in-fact for and all such purposes.


 


Section 14.06         Rights
of Trustee as Holder of Senior Indebtedness.


 


The Trustee shall be entitled to all the rights
set forth in this Article (or other subordination provisions applicable to a series of the Securities) with respect to any Senior
Indebtedness which may at the time be held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Senior Indebtedness, provided that nothing
in this Indenture shall deprive the Trustee of any of the rights as such holder and provided further that nothing in this Article or
other subordination provisions applicable to a series of the Securities shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or
pursuant to Section 7.07.


 


Section 14.07         Provisions
Applicable to Paying Agents.


 





In case at any time any paying agent other than
the Trustee shall have been appointed by the Company and be then acting hereunder, the term “Trustee” as used in this Article (or
other subordination provisions applicable to a series of the Securities) shall in such case (unless the context shall otherwise require)
be construed as extending to and including such paying agent within its meaning as fully for all intents and purposes as if the paying
agent were named in this Article or other applicable subordination provisions in addition to or in place of the Trustee; provided,
however, that Section 14.04 shall not apply to the Company or any Affiliate of the Company if the Company or such Affiliate acts
as paying agent.
