date for, and the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply with respect to, the giving or making of any notice, declaration, request or direction referred to in the next paragraph. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the
Holders of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to take the relevant action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date, provided that no such action shall
be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the
Company from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be canceled and of no
effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any
record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Company, at its own expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Trustee in writing and to each Holder of
Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 106.

to institute proceedings referred to in Section 507 or (iv) any direction referred to in Section 512, in each case with respect to Securities of such series. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of
Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date, provided that no such
action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on such 

  

 13 








 
record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Trustee from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has
previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be canceled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any
action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee, at the Company’s
expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Company in writing and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in
Section 106. 
 With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto which sets such record dates may
designate any day as the “Expiration Date” and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any earlier or later day, provided that no such change shall be effective unless notice of the proposed new Expiration Date is given to the
other party hereto in writing, and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 1006, on or prior to the existing Expiration Date. If an Expiration Date is not designated with respect to any record date
set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto which set such record date shall be deemed to have initially designated the 180th day after such record date as the Expiration Date with respect thereto, subject to its right to change the Expiration
Date as provided in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Expiration Date shall be later than the 180th day after the applicable record date. 
 Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to take any action hereunder with regard to any particular Security may do so with regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such Security or by
one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such principal amount.

 (1) the Trustee by any Holder or the Company shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, or

the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to
other Holders. Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice.
Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

or interest, if any, on, or any other amounts, if any, with respect to such Security is due and payable and (ii) the due date for any such payment shall have been so extended, then all references herein to the Stated Maturity of such payment

	No.	 		 		 	CUSIP No.:

 Webster Financial Corporation, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of Delaware
(hereinafter called the “Company,” which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to
            , or registered assigns, the principal sum of $             Dollars on
            ; [if applicable, insert: provided that the Company may (i) shorten the Stated Maturity of the principal of this Security to a date not earlier than
            , and (ii) extend the Stated Maturity of the principal of this Security at any time on one or more occasions, subject to certain conditions specified in
Section 3.14 of the Indenture, but in no event to a date later than             .] The Company further promises to pay interest on said principal sum from
             or from the most recent interest payment date (each such date, an “Interest Payment Date”) on which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually
(subject to deferral as set forth herein) in arrears on the last day of              and              of each year
commencing              at the rate of             % per annum, until the principal hereof shall have become due
and payable, plus Additional Interest, if any, until the principal hereof is paid or duly provided for or made available for payment and on any overdue principal and (without duplication and to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable
under applicable law) on any overdue installment of interest at the rate of % per annum, compounded semi-annually. The amount of interest payable for any period shall be computed on the basis of twelve 30-day months and a 360-day year. The amount of
interest payable for any partial period shall be computed on the basis of the number of days elapsed in a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. In the event that any date on which interest is payable on this Security is not a Business Day, then a
payment of the interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay), except that, if such Business Day is in the next succeeding
calendar year, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case with the same force and effect as if made on the date the payment was originally payable. The interest installment so payable, and punctually paid or
duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such
interest installment, which shall be [insert Record Date] next preceding such Interest Payment Date. Any such interest installment not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record
Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee,
notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities of this series not less than days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which
the Securities of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture. 
 [If applicable, insert: So long as no specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company shall have the right at any time during the term of this Security to defer payment of interest on this
Security, at any time or from time to time, for up to              consecutive              interest payment
periods with respect to each deferral period (each an “Extension Period”), (during which Extension Periods the Company shall have the right to make partial payments of interest on any Interest Payment Date, and at the end of which the
Company shall pay all interest then accrued and unpaid (together with Additional Interest thereon to the extent permitted 

  

 18 








 
by applicable law)); provided, however, that no Extension Period shall extend beyond the Stated Maturity of the principal of this Security; provided,
further, that during any such Extension Period, the Company shall not, and shall not permit any Subsidiary of the Company to, (i) declare or pay any dividends or distributions or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a liquidation payment with
respect to, any of the Company’s capital stock (which includes common and preferred stock), or (ii) make any payment of principal of or interest or premium, if any, on or repay, repurchase or redeem any debt security of the Company
(including Securities issued by the Company pursuant to the Indenture other than the Securities represented by this certificate) that ranks pari passu with or junior in interest to this Security or make any guarantee payments with respect to any
guarantee by the Company of the debt securities of any Subsidiaries of the Company (including Webster Guarantees other than the Webster Guarantee related to the Capital Securities issued by [NAME OF TRUST]) if such guarantee ranks pari passu with or
junior in interest to this Security [insert applicable exceptions]. Prior to the termination of any such Extension Period, the Company may further extend such Extension Period, provided, however, that such extension does not cause such Extension
Period to exceed              consecutive interest payment periods or to extend beyond the Stated Maturity. Upon the termination of any such Extension Period and upon the payment of
all amounts then due, and subject to the foregoing limitation, the Company may elect to begin a new Extension Period. No interest shall be due and payable during an Extension Period except at the end thereof. The Company shall give the Trustee, the
Property Trustee and the Administrative Trustees notice of its election to begin any Extension Period at least              Business Days prior to the earlier of (i) the date on
which Distributions on the Capital Securities would be payable except for the election to begin such Extension Period, or (ii) the date the Administrative Trustees are required to give notice to any automated quotation system or to holders of
such Capital Securities of the record date or the date such Distributions are payable, but in any event not less than              Business Days prior to such record date.]

 Payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Security will be made at the office or agency of the Company
maintained for that purpose in the United States, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that at the option of the Company
payment of interest may be made (i) by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Securities Register or (ii) by wire transfer in immediately available funds at such place and to such
account as may be designated by the Person entitled thereto as specified in the Securities Register. 
 The indebtedness evidenced by this
Security is, to the extent provided in the Indenture, unsecured and will rank junior and subordinate and subject in right of payments to the prior payment in full of all Senior Debt, and this Security is issued subject to the provisions of the
Indenture with respect thereto. Each Holder of this Security, by accepting the same, (a) agrees to and shall be bound by such provisions, (b) authorizes and directs the Trustee on his behalf to take such actions as may be necessary or
appropriate to effectuate the subordination so provided and (c) appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. Each Holder hereof, by his acceptance hereof, waives all notice of the acceptance of the subordination
provisions contained herein and in the Indenture by each holder of Senior Debt, whether now outstanding or hereafter incurred, and waives reliance by each such holder upon said provisions. 
 Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Security set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have
the same effect as if set forth at this place. 
 Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred
to on the reverse hereof by manual signature, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

 Section 203. Form of Reverse of Security. 
 This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or
more series under a Junior Subordinated Indenture, dated as of             , 20     (herein called the “Indenture”), between the Company and
[Name of Trustee] (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights,
limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company and the Holders of the Securities, and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series
designated on the face hereof, limited in aggregate principal amount to $            . 
 All terms used in this Security that are defined in the Indenture [if applicable, insert: and in the Trust Agreement, dated as of             ,
20    , as amended (the “Trust Agreement”), for [insert name of trust] among Webster Group, Inc., as Depositor, and the Trustees named therein], shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture [or the
Trust Agreement, as the case may be]. 
 [If applicable, insert—The Company may at any time, at its option, on or after
            , and subject to the terms and conditions of Article XI of the Indenture], [if applicable insert—and subject to Webster having received prior approval of the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”) if then required under applicable capital guidelines or policies of the Federal Reserve] redeem this Security [in whole at any time] [or in part from time to time], without
premium or penalty, at a redemption price equal to [insert redemption price] to the Redemption Date.] 
 [If applicable, insert—Upon the
occurrence and during the continuation of a Special Event in respect of a Webster Trust, the Company may, at its option, at any time within 90 days of the occurrence of such Special Event redeem this Security, [if applicable, insert—in whole
but not in part], subject to the provisions of Section 1107 and the other provisions of Article XI of the Indenture, at a redemption price equal to [insert redemption price] to the Redemption Date. 
 [If applicable, insert—In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of this series for the portion hereof
not redeemed will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.] 
 The Indenture contains provisions for
satisfaction and discharge of the entire indebtedness of this Security upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture. The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the Company and the Trustee
at any time to enter into a supplemental indenture or indentures for the purpose of modifying in any manner the rights and obligations of the Company and of the Holders of the Securities, with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority
in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of each series to be affected by such supplemental indenture. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series
at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain 

  

 20 








 
provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security
shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or
waiver is made upon this Security. 
 [If the Security is not a Discount Security,—As provided in and subject to the provisions of the
Indenture, if an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of this series may declare the principal amount of all the Securities of this series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), provided that, in the case of the
Securities of this series issued to a Webster Trust, if upon an Event of Default, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of this series fails to declare the principal of all the Securities
of this series to be immediately due and payable, the holders of at least 25% in aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities then outstanding shall have such right by a notice in writing to the Company and the Trustee; and upon any such
declaration the principal amount of and the accrued interest (including any Additional Interest) on all the Securities of this series shall become immediately due and payable, provided that the payment of principal and interest (including any
Additional Interest) on such Securities shall remain subordinated to the extent provided in Article XIII of the Indenture.] 
 [If the
Security is a Discount Security,—As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, if an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case
the Trustee or the Holders of not less than such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of this series may declare an amount of principal of the Securities of this series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in
writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), provided that, in the case of the Securities of this series issued to a Webster Trust, if upon an Event of Default, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount
of the Outstanding Securities of this series fails to declare the principal of all the Securities of this series to be immediately due and payable, the holders of at least 25% in aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities then
outstanding shall have such right by a notice in writing to the Company and the Trustee. Such amount shall be equal to [insert formula for determining the amount]. Upon any such declaration, such amount of the principal of and the accrued interest
(including any Additional Interest) on all the Securities of this series shall become immediately due and payable, provided that the payment of principal and interest (including any Additional Interest) on such Securities shall remain subordinated
to the extent provided in Article XIII of the Indenture. Upon payment (i) of the amount of principal so declared due and payable and (ii) of interest on any overdue principal and overdue interest (in each case to the extent that the
payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), all of the Company’s obligations in respect of the payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on this Security shall terminate.] 
 No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. 
 As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Securities
Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company maintained under Section 1002 of the Indenture duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Company and the Securities Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon 

  

 21 








 
one or more new Securities of this series, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated
transferee or transferees. No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

aggregate principal amount of Securities of such series of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. 
 The Company and, by its acceptance of this Security or a beneficial interest therein, the Holder of, and any Person that acquires a beneficial interest in, this Security agree that for United States Federal, state and local tax purposes it
is intended that this Security constitute indebtedness.

 Section 303. Execution,
Authentication, Delivery and Dating. 
 The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its President or one of its Vice
Presidents under its corporate seal reproduced or impressed thereon and attested by its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile. 
 Securities bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company,
notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities. At any time and from time to time after
the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the
Trustee in accordance with the Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. If the form or terms of the Securities of the series have been established by or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions as permitted by Sections 201 and
301, in authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 601) shall be fully protected in
relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating, 
 (1) if the form of such Securities has been established by or pursuant to Board Resolution as
permitted by Section 201, that such form has been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; 
 (2) if the terms
of such Securities have been established by or pursuant to Board Resolution as permitted by Section 301, that such terms have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and 
 (3) that such Securities, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified
in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of
general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles. 
 If such form or terms have been so
established, the Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Securities if the issue of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or
otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. 
 Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 301 and of the
preceding paragraph, if all Securities of a series are not to be originally issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver the Officers’ Certificate otherwise required pursuant to Section 301 or the Company Order and Opinion of
Counsel otherwise required pursuant to such preceding paragraph at or prior to the authentication of each Security of such series if such documents are delivered at or prior to the authentication upon original issuance of the first Security of such
series to be issued. 
  

 26 








 Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. 
 No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on such Security a
certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by the manual signature of one of its authorized officers, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only
evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall
deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 309, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the
benefits of this Indenture. 
 Section 304. Temporary Securities. 
 Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities of such series in lieu of which they are issued and with
such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities. 
 If temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities of such series to be prepared without unreasonable delay.
After the preparation of definitive Securities, the temporary Securities shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities upon surrender of the temporary Securities at the office or agency of the Company designated for that purpose without charge to
the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor one or more definitive Securities of the same series of authorized
denominations having the same original issue date and Stated Maturity and having the same terms as such temporary Securities. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under
this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series. 
 Section 305. Registration, Transfer and Exchange. 
 The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may
prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Securities and of transfers of Securities. Such register is herein sometimes referred to as the “Securities Register.” The Trustee is hereby appointed “Securities
Registrar” for the purpose of registering Securities and transfers of Securities as herein provided. 
 Upon surrender for registration
of transfer of any Security at the office or agency of the Company designated for that purpose the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new
Securities of the same series of any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount, of the same original issue date and Stated Maturity and having the same terms. 
 At the option of the Holder, Securities may be exchanged for other Securities of the same series of any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate
principal amount, of the same original issue date and Stated Maturity and having the same terms, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall
execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 
  

 27 








 All Securities issued upon any transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the
Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such transfer or exchange. 
 Every Security presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Securities Registrar) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Company and the Securities Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. 
 No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
transfer or exchange of Securities. 
 No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any transfer or exchange of Securities, but the
Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Securities. 
 The provisions of Clauses (1), (2), (3) and (4) below shall apply only to Global Securities: 
 (1) Each Global Security authenticated under this Indenture shall be registered in the name of the Depositary designated for such Global Security or a
nominee thereof and delivered to such Depositary or a nominee thereof or custodian therefor, and each such Global Security shall constitute a single Security for all purposes of this Indenture. 
 (2) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, no Global Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for Securities registered, and no
transfer of a Global Security in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof unless (A) such Depositary (i) has notified the Company that it is
unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or (ii) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act at a time when the Depositary is required to be so registered to act as depositary, in each case
unless the Company has approved a successor Depositary within 90 days, (B) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to such Global Security, (C) the Company in its sole discretion determines that such
Global Security will be so exchangeable or transferable or (D) there shall exist such circumstances, if any, in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as have been specified for this purpose as contemplated by Section 301. 
 (3) Subject to Clause (2) above, any exchange of a Global Security for other Securities may be made in whole or in part, and all Securities issued
in exchange for a Global Security or any portion thereof shall be registered in such names as the Depositary for such Global Security shall direct. 
 (4) Every Security authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Security or any portion thereof, whether pursuant to this Section, Section 304, 306, 906 or 1106 or otherwise,
shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Security, unless such Security is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof. 
  

 28 








 Neither the Company nor the Trustee shall be required, pursuant to the provisions of this Section,
(a) to issue, transfer or exchange any Security of any series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of selection for redemption of Securities pursuant to Article Eleven and ending at the close of business
on the day of mailing of notice of redemption or (b) to transfer or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except, in the case of any Security to be redeemed in part, any portion thereof not to be redeemed.

 The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed
under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Security (including any transfers between or among Depositary participants or beneficial owners of interests in any Global Security) other than to
require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to
form with the express requirements hereof. 
 Neither the Trustee nor any Paying Agent shall have any responsibility for any actions taken or
not taken by the Depositary. 
 Section 306. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities. 
 If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, together with such security or indemnity as may be required by the Company or the Trustee to save
each of them harmless, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same issue and series of like tenor and principal amount, having the same original issue date and Stated
Maturity, and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 
 If there shall be delivered to the Company and to the Trustee
(i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security, and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the
Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same
issue and series of like tenor and principal amount, having the same original issue date and Stated Maturity, as such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 
 In case any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of
issuing a new Security, pay such Security. 
 Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the Company may require the payment
of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. 
 Every new Security issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security, shall constitute an original additional contractual
obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of
such series duly issued hereunder. 
 The provisions of this Section 306 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all
other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities. 
  

 29 








 Section 307. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved. 
 Interest on any Security of any series which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the
Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered as of the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest in respect of Securities of such series, except that, unless otherwise provided in the
Securities of such series, interest payable on the Stated Maturity of the principal of a Security shall be paid to the Person to whom principal is paid. The initial payment on any Security of any series which is issued between a Regular Record Date
and the related Interest Payment Date shall be payable as provided in such Security or in the Board Resolution pursuant to Section 301 with respect to the related series of Securities. 
 Any interest in any Security which is payable, but is not timely paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date for Securities (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 may be paid by the Company, at its election in each
case, as provided in Clause (1) or (2) below: 
 (1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest
to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series in respect of which interest is in default (or their respective Predecessor Security thereof) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such
Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the
Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the
proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this Clause provided. Thereupon, the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted
Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the
Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each
Holder of a Security of such series at the address of such Holder as it appears in the Securities Register not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. The Trustee may, in its discretion, in the name and at the expense of the Company
cause a similar notice to be published at least once in a newspaper, customarily published in the English language on each Business Day and of general circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, but such publication shall not be a
condition precedent to the establishment of 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 of such series (or their respective Predecessor Security) are registered on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (2). 
 (2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any
securities exchange on which such Security may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange (or by the Trustee if the Securities are not listed), if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment
pursuant to this Clause, such payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. 
  

 30 








 Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section and Section 307, each Security delivered under
this Indenture upon transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security. 
 Section 308. Persons Deemed Owners. 
 The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of, any premium and (subject
to Section 307) and interest on and any other amounts with respect to such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not any payment with respect to such Registered Security shall be overdue, and neither the Company, the
Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 Section 309. Cancellation.

 All Securities surrendered for payment, registration of transfer, exchange or conversion or for credit against any sinking fund payment
shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee, and any such Securities, as well as Securities surrendered directly to the Trustee for any such purpose, shall be cancelled promptly by the Trustee. The Company
may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Securities so delivered shall be cancelled promptly by the
Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by or pursuant to this Indenture. All cancelled Securities held by the Trustee shall be
disposed of in accordance with its procedures for the disposition of cancelled Securities and the Trustee shall deliver to the Company a certificate of such disposition. 
 Section 310. Computation of Interest. 
 Except as otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture or
in the Securities of any series, interest on the Securities shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 
 Section 311. Option to Extend Interest Payment Date. 
 If specified as contemplated by Section 201 or Section 301
with respect to the Securities of a particular series, so long as no Event of Default set forth in Section 501(5) or (6) has occurred and is continuing, the Company shall have the right, at any time during the term of such series, from
time to time to defer the payment of interest on such Securities for such period or periods as may be specified as contemplated by Section 301 (each, an “Extension Period”) during which Extension Periods the Company shall have the
right to make partial payments of interest on any Interest Payment Date. No Extension Period shall end on a date other than an Interest Payment Date. At the end of any such Extension Period the Company shall pay all interest then accrued and unpaid
on the Securities (together with Additional Interest thereon, if any, at the rate specified for the Securities of such series to the extent permitted by applicable law); provided, however, that no Extension Period shall extend beyond the Stated
Maturity of the principal of the Securities of such series; provided, further, that during any such Extension Period, the Company shall not, and shall not permit any Subsidiary to, (i) declare or pay any dividends or distributions on, or
redeem, purchase, acquire or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any of the Company’s capital stock (which includes common and preferred stock), or (ii) make any payment of principal of or interest or premium, if any, on or repay,
repurchase or redeem any debt securities of the Company (including Securities other than the Securities of such series) that ranks pari passu with or junior in interest to the Securities of such series or make any guarantee payments with respect to
any guarantee by the Company of the debt securities of any Subsidiary of the Company (including 

  

 31 








 
Webster Guarantees other than the Webster Guarantee related to the Capital Securities issued by the Webster Trust holding Securities of such series) if such
guarantee ranks pari passu with or junior in interest to the securities of such series, subject to such exceptions as may be applicable pursuant to Section 301. Upon termination of any Extension Period and upon the payment of all accrued and
unpaid interest and any Additional Interest then due on any Interest Payment Date, the Company may elect to begin a new Extension Period, subject to the above requirements. No interest shall be due and payable during an Extension Period, except at
the end thereof. The Company shall give the Trustee, the Property Trustee and the Administrative Trustees of the Webster Trust holding Securities of such series notice of its election of any Extension Period (or an extension thereof) at least five
Business Days prior to the earlier of (i) the next succeeding date on which Distributions on the Capital Securities of such Webster Trust would be payable except for the election to begin or extend such Extension Period or (ii) the date
the Administrative Trustees of such Webster Trust is required to give notice to any automated quotation system or to holders of such Capital Securities of the record date or the date such Distributions are payable, but in any event not less than
five Business Days prior to such record date. 
 The Trustee shall promptly give notice of the Company’s election to begin any such
Extension Period to the Holders of the Outstanding Securities of such series. Subject to the foregoing limitations, there is no limitation on the number of times that the Company may begin or extend an Extension Period. 
 Section 312. Agreed Tax Treatment. 
 Each Security issued hereunder shall provide that the Company and, by its acceptance of a Security or a beneficial interest therein, the Holder of, and any Person that acquires a beneficial interest in, such Security agree that for United
States Federal, state and local tax purposes it is intended that such Security constitute indebtedness. 
 Section 313. Shortening or
Extension of Stated Maturity. 
 If specified as contemplated by Section 201 or Section 301 with respect to the Securities of a
particular series, the Company shall have the right to (i) shorten the Stated Maturity of the principal of the Securities of such series at any time to any date not earlier than the first date on which the Company has the right to redeem the
Securities of such series, and (ii) extend the Stated Maturity of the principal of the Securities of such series at any time at its election for one or more periods, but in no event to a date later than the 49th anniversary of the first
Interest Payment Date following the original issue date of the Securities of such series; provided that, if the Company elects to exercise its right to extend the Stated Maturity of the principal of the Securities of such series pursuant to clause
(ii) above, at the time such election is made and at the time of extension (A) the Company is not in bankruptcy, otherwise insolvent or in liquidation, (B) the Company is not in default in the payment of any interest or principal on
such Securities, (C) in the case of any series of Securities issued to a Webster Trust, such Webster Trust is not in arrears on payments of Distributions on the Capital Securities issued by such Webster Trust and no deferred Distributions are
accumulated and (D) such Securities are rated not less than BBB- by S&P or Baa3 by Moody’s or the equivalent by any other nationally recognized statistical rating organization. In the event the Company elects to shorten or extend the
Stated Maturity of the Securities of any series, it shall give notice to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall give notice of such shortening or extension to the Holders thereof no less than 30 and no more than 60 days prior to the effectiveness
thereof. 
 Section 314. CUSIP Numbers. 
 The Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders;


  

 32 








 
provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as
contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will
promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers. 
 ARTICLE FOUR 
 SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE 
 Section 401. Satisfaction and Discharge. 
 This Indenture shall cease to be of further effect (except as to any surviving
rights of registration of transfer or exchange of Securities herein expressly provided for and as otherwise provided in this Section 401), upon Company Request, and the Trustee, on demand and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper
instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture series, when 
 (1) either 
 (a) all Securities of such series theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (i) Securities of such series which have been destroyed, lost
or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 306 and (ii) Securities of such series for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter
repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 1003) 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 become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year, or 
 (iii) if redeemable at the option of the Company, are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the
Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company, 
 and the Company, in the case
of (i), (ii) or (iii) above, has deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for such purpose, money in the currency in which such Securities are payable in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the
entire indebtedness on such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, including the principal of, any premium and interest on, and, to the extent that the Securities of such series provide for the payment of any other
amounts thereon as contemplated by Section 301 and the amount of any such other amounts which are or will be payable with respect to the Securities of such series is at the time of deposit determinable by the Company (in the exercise by the
Company of its reasonable discretion), any other amounts with respect to, such Securities, to the date of such deposit (in the case of Securities which have become due and payable) or to the Maturity thereof, as the case may be; 
 (2) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company with respect to the Outstanding Securities
of such series, and 
  

 33 








 (3) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion
of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as to such series have been complied with. 
 In the event there are Securities of two or more series Outstanding hereunder, the Trustee shall be required to execute an instrument acknowledging
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture only if requested to do so with respect to Securities of such series as to which it is Trustee and if the other conditions thereto are met. 
 Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to any series of Securities, the obligations of the Company to the Trustee
under Section 606 and, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (b) of clause (1) of this Section, the obligations of the Company and the Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series under
Sections 305, 306, 403, 404, 1002, 1003 and, if applicable to the Securities of such series, 1004 (including, without limitation, with respect to the payment of Additional Tax Sums, if any, with respect to such Securities as contemplated by
Section 1004, but only to the extent that the Additional Tax Sums payable with respect to such Securities exceed the amount deposited in respect of such Additional Tax Sums pursuant to Section 401(1)(b)), any rights of Holders of the
Securities of such series (unless otherwise provided pursuant to Section 301 with respect to the Securities of such series) to require the Company to repurchase or repay, and the obligations of the Company to repurchase or repay, such
Securities at the option of the Holders pursuant to Article Thirteen hereof, and any rights of Holders of the Securities of such series (unless otherwise provided pursuant to Section 301 with respect to the Securities of such series) to convert
or exchange, and the obligations of the Company to convert or exchange, such Securities into Common Stock or other securities or property, shall survive. 
 Section 402. Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance. 
 (1) Unless, pursuant to Section 301, either or
both of (i) defeasance of the Securities of or within a series under clause (2) of this Section 402 or (ii) covenant defeasance of the Securities of or within a series under clause (3) of this Section 402 shall not be
applicable with respect to the Securities of such series, then such provisions, together with the other provisions of this Section 402 (with such modifications thereto as may be specified pursuant to Section 301 with respect to any
Securities), shall be applicable to such Securities, and the Company may at its option by Board Resolution, at any time, with respect to the Securities of or within such series, elect to have Section 402(2) or Section 402(3) be applied to
such Outstanding Securities upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Section 402. Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 with respect to the Securities of any series, defeasance under clause (2) of this
Section 402 and covenant defeasance under clause (3) of this Section 402 may be effected only with respect to all, and not less than all, of the Outstanding Securities of any series. To the extent that the terms of any Security
established in or pursuant to this Indenture permit the Company or any Holder thereof to extend the date on which any payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on, or any other amounts, if any, with respect to such Security
is due and payable, then unless otherwise provided pursuant to Section 301, the right to extend such date shall terminate upon defeasance or covenant defeasance, as the case may be. 
 (2) Upon the Company’s exercise of the above option applicable to this Section 402(2) with respect to any Securities of or within a series, the
Company shall be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to such Outstanding Securities on the date the conditions set forth in clause (4) of this Section 402 are satisfied (hereinafter, “defeasance”).
For this purpose, such defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by such Outstanding Securities, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “Outstanding” only for the
purposes of clause (5) of this Section 402 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (i) through (iv) of this paragraph, and to have satisfied all of 

  

 34 








 
its other obligations under such Securities and this Indenture insofar as such Securities are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company,
shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (i) the rights of Holders of such Outstanding Securities to receive, solely (except as
provided in clause (ii) below) from the trust fund described in clause (4)(a) of this Section 402 and as more fully set forth in this Section 402 and 403, payments in respect of the principal of (and premium, if any) and
interest, if any, on, and any other amounts, if any, with respect to, such Securities when such payments are due, (ii) the obligations of the Company and the Trustee with respect to such Securities under Sections 305, 306, 1002, 1003 and, if
applicable to the Securities of such series, 1004 (including, without limitation, with respect to the payment of Additional Tax Sums, if any, with respect to such Securities as contemplated by Section 1004, but only to the extent that the
Additional Tax Sums payable with respect to such Securities exceed the amount deposited in respect of such Additional Tax Sums pursuant to clause (4)(a) of this Section 402)), any rights of Holders of such Securities (unless otherwise
provided pursuant to Section 301 with respect to the Securities of such series) to require the Company to repurchase or repay, and the obligations of the Company to repurchase or repay, such Securities at the option of the Holders pursuant to
Article Thirteen hereof, and any rights of Holders of such Securities (unless otherwise provided pursuant to Section 301 with respect to the Securities of such series) to convert or exchange, and the obligations of the Company to convert or
exchange, such Securities into Common Stock or other securities or property, (iii) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and (iv) this Section 402 and Sections 403 and 404. The Company may exercise
its option under this Section 402(2) notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 402(3) with respect to such Securities. 
 (3) Upon the Company’s exercise of the above option applicable to this Section 402(3) with respect to any Securities of or within a series, the Company shall be released from its obligations under clauses
(ii) and (iii) of Section 1005 and under Sections 1006 and 1007 and, to the extent specified pursuant to Section 301, any other covenant applicable to such Securities with respect to such Securities shall cease to be applicable
to such Securities on and after the date the conditions set forth in clause (4) of this Section 402 are satisfied (hereinafter, “covenant defeasance”), and such Securities shall thereafter be deemed to be not
“Outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or Act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with any such covenant, but shall continue to be deemed “Outstanding” for all
other purposes hereunder. For this purpose, such covenant defeasance means that with respect to such Outstanding Securities, the Company may omit to comply with, and shall have no liability in respect of, any term, condition or limitation set forth
in any such Section or any such other covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or such other covenant or by reason of reference in any such Section or such other covenant to any other
provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a default or an Event of Default under Section 501(4) or otherwise, as the case may be. 
 (4) The following shall be the conditions to application of clause (2) or (3) of this Section 402 to any Outstanding Securities of or
within a series: 
 (a) The Company shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee (or another
trustee satisfying the requirements of Section 607 who shall agree to comply with the provisions of this Section 402 applicable to it) as trust funds in trust for the purpose of making the following payments, specifically pledged as
security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Holders of such Securities (1) an amount in Dollars or in such foreign currency in which such Securities are then specified as payable at Stated Maturity or, if such defeasance or
covenant defeasance is to be effected in compliance with subsection (f) below, on the relevant Redemption Date, as the case may be, or (2) Government Obligations applicable to such 

  

 35 








 
Securities (determined on the basis of the currency in which such Securities are then specified as payable at Stated Maturity or, if such defeasance or
covenant defeasance is to be effected in compliance with subsection (f) below, on the relevant Redemption Date, as the case may be) which through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms
will provide, not later than one day before the due date of any payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on such Securities, money in an amount, or (3) a combination thereof, in any case, in an amount, sufficient,
without consideration of any reinvestment of such principal and interest, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge,
and which shall be applied by the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) to pay and discharge, (y) the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on, and, to the extent that such Securities provide for the payment of additional
amounts thereon and the amount of any such additional amounts which are or will be payable with respect to the Securities of such series is at the time of deposit determinable by the Company (in the exercise by the Company of its reasonable
discretion), any additional amounts with respect to, such Outstanding Securities on the Stated Maturity of such principal or installment of principal or interest or the applicable Redemption Date, as the case may be, and (z) any mandatory
sinking fund payments or analogous payments applicable to such Outstanding Securities on the day on which such payments are due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and of such Securities. 
 (b) Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, this Indenture or
any other material agreement or instrument to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or by which it is bound. 
 (c)
No Event of Default or event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become an Event of Default with respect to such Securities shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit, and, solely in the case of defeasance under
Section 402(2), no Event of Default with respect to such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto under clause (5) or (6) of Section 501 or event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become an Event of Default
with respect to such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto under clause (5) or (6) of Section 501 shall have occurred and be continuing at any time during the period ending on and including the 91st day after the date of
such deposit (it being understood that this condition to defeasance under Section 402(2) shall not be deemed satisfied until the expiration of such period). 
 (d) In the case of defeasance pursuant to Section 402(2), the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an opinion of independent
counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee stating that (x) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (y) since the date of this Indenture there has been a change in
applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion of independent counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of such Outstanding Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax
purposes as a result of such 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 defeasance had not occurred; or, in the case of covenant defeasance
pursuant to Section 402(3), the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an opinion of independent counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee to the effect that the Holders of such Outstanding Securities and 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. 
  

 36 








 (e) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to the defeasance or covenant defeasance, as the case may be, under this Indenture have been complied with. 
 (f) If the monies or Government Obligations or combination thereof, as the case may be, deposited under clause (a) above are
sufficient to pay the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on and, to the extent provided in such clause (a), any additional amounts with respect to, such Securities provided such Securities are redeemed on a particular
Redemption Date, the Company shall have given the Trustee irrevocable instructions to redeem such Securities on such date and to provide notice of such redemption to Holders as provided in or pursuant to this Indenture. 
 (g) No event or condition will exist pursuant to the terms of Article XIII that would prevent the Company from making payments of
principal and premium, if any, and interest on the Securities at the date of the irrevocable deposit referred to above. 
 (h)
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 402(4), such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall be effected in compliance with any additional or substitute terms, conditions or limitations which may be imposed on the Company in
connection therewith pursuant to Section 301. 
 (5) Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all money and
Government Obligations (or other property as may be provided pursuant to Section 301) (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee—collectively for purposes of this Section 402(5) and
Section 403, the “Trustee”) pursuant to clause (4)(a) of Section 402 in respect of any Outstanding Securities of any series shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such
Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (other than the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Securities
of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal (and premium, if any) and interest and Additional Amounts, if any, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 Unless otherwise specified in or pursuant to this Indenture or any Securities, if, after a deposit referred to in Section 402(4)(a) has been made,
(a) the Holder of a Security in respect of which such deposit was made is entitled to, and does, elect pursuant to Section 301 or the terms of such Security to receive payment in a currency other than that in which the deposit pursuant to
Section 402(4)(a) has been made in respect of such Security, or (b) a Conversion Event occurs in respect of the foreign currency in which the deposit pursuant to Section 402(4)(a) has been made, the indebtedness represented by such
Security shall be deemed to have been, and will be, fully discharged and satisfied through the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any), and interest, if any, on, and any additional amounts, if any, with respect to, such Security as the
same becomes due out of the proceeds yielded by converting (from time to time as specified below in the case of any such election) the amount or other property deposited in respect of such Security into the currency in which such Security becomes
payable as a result of such election or Conversion Event based on (x) in the case of payments made pursuant to clause (a) above, the applicable market exchange rate for such currency in effect on the second Business Day prior to each
payment date, or (y) with respect to a Conversion Event, the applicable market exchange rate for such foreign currency in effect (as nearly as feasible) at the time of the Conversion Event. 
 The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge, imposed on or assessed against the Government Obligations deposited
pursuant to this Section 402 or the principal or interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of such Outstanding Securities. 
  

 37 








 Anything in this Section 402 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to
the Company from time to time upon Company Request any money or Government Obligations (or other property and any proceeds therefrom) held by it as provided in clause (4)(a) of this Section 402 which, in the opinion of a nationally
recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect a defeasance or covenant defeasance,
as applicable, in accordance with this Section 402. 
 Section 403. Application of Trust Money. 
 Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all money and Government Obligations deposited with the Trustee pursuant to
Section 401 or 402 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities, and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying
Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal, premium, interest and any other additional amounts for whose payment such money has or Government Obligations have been deposited with or received by the
Trustee; but such money and Government Obligations need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 Section 404. Reinstatement. 
 If the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee appointed pursuant to Section 402(4)(a)) or any
Paying Agent is unable to apply any moneys or Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 401(1) or 402(4)(a) to pay any principal of or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on or any additional amounts, if any, with respect to the
Securities of any series 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 to
pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on and additional amounts, if any, in respect of the Securities of such series as contemplated by Sections 401 or 402 as the case may be, and Section 403; provided, however, that
if the Company makes any payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest if any, on or any additional amounts, if any, in respect of the Securities of such series following the reinstatement of its obligations as aforesaid, the Company
shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the funds held by the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) or Paying Agent. 
 Section 405. Effect on Subordination Provisions. 
 Unless otherwise expressly provided pursuant to Section 301, the provisions of Article Thirteen hereof are hereby expressly made subject to the provisions for satisfaction and discharge set forth in
Section 401 hereof and the provisions for defeasance and covenant defeasance set forth in Section 402 hereof and, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, upon the effectiveness of such satisfaction and discharge pursuant to
Section 401 with respect to the Securities of such series or any such defeasance or covenant defeasance pursuant to Section 402 with respect to the Securities of or within such series, all of the Securities of such series (in the case of
satisfaction and discharge pursuant to Section 401) or the Securities of such series as to which defeasance or covenant defeasance, as the case may be, shall have become effective shall thereupon cease to be so subordinated and shall no longer
be subject to the provisions of Article Thirteen and, without limitation to the foregoing, all moneys, Government Obligations and other securities 

  

 38 








 
or property deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) in trust in connection with such satisfaction and discharge, defeasance or covenant
defeasance, as the case may be, and all proceeds therefrom may be applied to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on, and additional amounts, if any, with respect to such Securities as and when the same shall become due and
payable notwithstanding the provisions of Article Thirteen.

or not by means of a supplemental indenture, solely for the benefit of Securities of a series other than such series), and continuance of such default or breach (without such default or breach having been waived in accordance of the provisions of
this Indenture) for a period of 90 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of
such series a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder;

 39 








 
arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary of the Company under any applicable Federal or State
law, or appointing a custodian, receiver, conservator, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary of the Company or of any substantial part of the property of the Company or any

Company or any Significant Subsidiary of the Company, or the making by the Company or any Significant Subsidiary of the Company of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the taking of corporate action by the Company or any Significant
Subsidiary of the Company in furtherance of any such action; or 
 (6) default in the delivery of any shares of Common Stock,
together with cash in lieu of fractional shares, or any other securities or property (including cash) when required to be delivered upon conversion of any convertible Security of such series or upon the exchange of any Security of such series which
is exchangeable for other securities or property (whether or not such delivery is prohibited by the Subordination Provisions applicable thereto), and continuance of such default for a period of 10 days; or 
 (7) any other Event of Default provided in or pursuant to this Indenture with respect to Securities of such series. 
 Section 502. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. 
 If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series occurs and is continuing, then either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any
series may declare the principal of all the Securities of such series, or such lesser amount as may be provided for in the Securities of such series, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in
writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal or such lesser amount, as the case may be, and such accrued and unpaid interest shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event
of Default specified in clause (5) or (6) of Section 501 with respect to the Securities of any series occurs, then the principal of all of the Securities of such series, or such lesser amount as may be provided for in the Securities
of such series, and accrued an unpaid interest, if any, thereon shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder of the Securities of such series.

  

 40 








 At any time after Securities of any series have been accelerated and before a judgment or decree for
payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, 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 of money sufficient to pay (or, to the extent that the terms of the Securities of such series established pursuant to Section 301 expressly provide for payment to be made in shares of Common Stock or other securities or
property, shares of Common Stock or other securities or property, together with cash in lieu of fractional shares or securities, sufficient to pay) 
 (a) all overdue installments of any interest on any Securities of such series which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and any other amounts due with respect thereto, 
 (b) the principal of and any premium on any Securities of such series which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of
acceleration and any additional amounts with respect thereto and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, interest thereon at the rate or respective rates, as the case may be, provided for in or with respect to such Securities, or, if no such
rate or rates are so provided, at the rate or respective rates, as the case may be, of interest borne by such Securities, 
 (c) to the extent permitted by applicable law, interest upon installments of any interest, if any, which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and any additional amounts with respect thereto at the rate or
respective rates, as the case may be, provided for in or with respect to such Securities, or, if no such rate or rates are so provided, at the rate or respective rates, as the case may be, of interest borne by such Securities, and 
 (d) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Trustee under Section 606; and 
 (2) all Events of Default
with respect to Securities of such series other than the non-payment of the principal of, any premium and interest on, and any Additional Amounts with respect to Securities of such series which shall have become due solely by such declaration of
acceleration, shall have been cured or waived as provided in Section 513. 
 No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right
consequent thereon. 
 Section 503. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. 
 The Company covenants that if: 
 (1) default
is made in the payment of any interest on, or any Additional Amounts payable in respect of any interest on, any Security when such interest or additional amounts, as the case may be, shall have become due and payable and such default continues for a
period of 30 days, or 
  

 41 








 (2) default is made in the payment of any principal of or premium, if any, on, or any additional amounts
payable in respect of any principal of or premium, if any, on, any Security at its Maturity, 
 the Company shall, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the
Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount of money then due and payable with respect to such Securities, with interest upon the overdue principal, any premium and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon
any overdue installments of interest and additional amounts at the rate or respective rates, as the case may be, provided for or with respect to such Securities or, if no such rate or rates are so provided, at the rate or respective rates, as the
case may be, of interest borne by such Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further amount of money as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and all other amounts due to the Trustee under Section 606. 
 If the Company fails to
pay the money it is required to pay the Trustee pursuant to the preceding paragraph forthwith upon the demand of the Trustee, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of
the money so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities and collect the monies adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner
provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities, wherever situated. 
 If an Event of Default
with respect to Securities of any series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the
Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or such Securities or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein or therein, or to
enforce any other proper remedy. 
 Section 504. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 
 In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial
proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or the property of the Company or such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities shall then be due and payable
as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of any overdue principal, premium, interest or additional amounts) shall be entitled and empowered,
by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, 
 (1) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount, or such lesser amount
as may be provided for in the Securities of such series, of the principal and any premium, interest and additional amounts owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in
order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents or counsel) and of the Holders of Securities allowed in such judicial proceeding, and

 (2) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the
same; 
 and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby
authorized by each Holder of Securities to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent 

  

 42 








 
to the making of such payments directly to the Holders of Securities, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 606. 
 Nothing
herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder of a Security any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights
of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder of a Security in any such proceeding. 
 Section 505. Trustee May Enforce Claims without Possession of Securities. 
 All rights of action and claims under this
Indenture or any of the Securities may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be
brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery or judgment, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, shall be for the
ratable benefit of each and every Holder of a Security in respect of which such judgment has been recovered. 
 Section 506. Application
of Money Collected. 
 Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article with respect to the Securities of any series shall be
applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal, or any premium, interest or Additional Amounts, upon presentation of such Securities, if any,
appertaining thereto, or both, as the case may be, and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid: 
 FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee under Section 606; 
 SECOND: To the payment of amounts then due and unpaid to the holders of Senior Debt with respect to such series, to the extent required pursuant to Article XIII hereof; 
 THIRD: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon the Securities for principal and any premium, interest and additional
amounts specified for such Securities in the Indenture in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the aggregate amounts due and payable on such
Securities for principal and any premium, interest and additional amounts; 
 FOURTH: The balance, if any, to the Person or
Persons entitled thereto. 
 Section 507. Limitations on Suits. 
 No Holder of any Security of any series shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for
the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless 
 (1) such Holder has previously given
written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such series; 
  

 43 








 (2) the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of such series shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder; 
 (3) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities
to be incurred in compliance with such request; 
 (4) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and
offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and 
 (5) no direction inconsistent with such written request
has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series; 
 it
being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture or any Security to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other
such Holders or Holders of Securities of any other series, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and
ratable benefit of all such Holders. 
 Section 508. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal and any Premium, Interest and
Additional Amounts; Direct Action by Holders of Capital Securities. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of
any Security shall have the right which is absolute and unconditional to receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 307) interest on such Security on the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such
Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. In the case of Securities of a series issued to
a Webster trust, any holder of the corresponding series of Trust Securities issued by such trust shall have the right, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 501(1) or 501(2), to institute a Direct Action. 

The Company cannot amend this Indenture to remove the foregoing right to bring a Direct Action without the prior written consent of the Holders of all
of the Capital Securities outstanding. If such right to bring a Direct Action is removed, the trust or trusts whose Capital Securities are outstanding may become subject to the reporting obligations under the Exchange Act. 
 Notwithstanding any payments made to a Holder of Capital Securities by the Company in connection with a Direct Action, the Company will remain obligated
to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the related Securities, and the Company will be subrogated to the rights of the Holder of the Capital Securities with respect to payments on the Capital Securities to the extent of any
payments made by the Company to any Holder in any Direct Action. 
 The Holders of the Capital Securities will not be able to exercise
directly any remedies, other than those set forth in the preceding paragraphs, available to the Holders of the related Securities unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Trust Agreement. 
 Section 509. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. 
 If the Trustee or any Holder of a Security has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been
determined adversely to the Trustee or to such 

  

 44 








 
Holder, then and in every such case the Company, the Trustee and each such Holder shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored
severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and each such Holder shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted. 
 Section 510. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. 
 To the extent permitted by applicable law and except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of Section 306, no right or remedy herein
conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to each and every Holder of a Security is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy, to the extent permitted by law, shall be cumulative and in addition to every
other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not, to the extent permitted by law, prevent the concurrent
assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 
 Section 511. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. 
 No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Security to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to any Holder of a Security
may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by such Holder, as the case may be. 
 Section 512. Control by Holders of Securities. 
 The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising
any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series, provided that 
 (1) such direction shall not be in
conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture or with the Securities of any series, 
 (2) the Trustee may take any other action
deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction, and 
 (3) such direction is not unduly prejudicial to the rights
of the other Holders of Securities of such series not joining in such action. 
 Section 513. Waiver of Past Defaults. 
 The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series on behalf of the Holders of all the
Securities of such series may waive any past default hereunder with respect to such series and its consequences, except 
 (1)
a default in the payment of the principal of, any premium or interest on, or any additional amounts due and owing with respect to, any Security of such series, or 
  

 45 








 (2) in the case of any Securities which are convertible into or exchangeable for Common
Stock or other securities or property, a default in any such conversion or exchange, or 
 (3) a default in respect of a
covenant or provision hereof which under Article Nine cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of such series affected. 
 Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose
of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 Section 514. Waiver of Usury, Stay or Extension Laws. 
 The Company covenants that (to the extent that it may lawfully do so)
it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury law or any other law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which would
prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest, if any on or additional amounts, if any, with respect to any Securities as contemplated herein and therein or which may affect the
covenants or the performance of this Indenture or the Securities; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the
execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee or the Holders, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. 
 Section 515. Undertaking for Costs. 
 All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any
Security by his 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 any undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements,
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 515 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any

the case of repayment at the option of the Holder pursuant to Article Thirteen hereof, on or after the date for repayment) or for the enforcement of the right, if any, to convert or exchange any Security into Common Stock or other securities in
accordance with its terms.

 Except during the continuance of an Event of Default; 
  

 46 








 (1) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are
specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and 
 (2) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the
Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture, but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provisions 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 requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein). 
 In case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and
use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs. 
 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) this Subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of Subsection (a) of this Section, 
 (2) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was
negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts, and 
 (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 Holders pursuant to Section 512 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 such series. 
 No provision of this Indenture shall
require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there shall be reasonable grounds for believing
that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. 
 Whether or not therein
expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 601. 
 Section 602. Notice of Defaults. 
 Within 90 days after actual knowledge by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee of the occurrence of any default hereunder with respect to the Securities of any series, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Securities of such
series, as their names and addresses appear in the Securities Register, notice of such default, unless such default shall have been cured or waived; provided, however, that, except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal of (or
premium, if any) or interest (including any Additional Interest) on any Security of such series, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of
directors and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Holders of Securities of such series; and provided, further, that, 

  

 47 








 
in the case of any default of the character specified in Section 501(3), no such notice to Holders of Securities of such series shall be given until at
least 30 days after the occurrence thereof. For the purpose of this Section, the term “default” means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to Securities of such series.

 Section 603. Certain Rights of the Trustee. 
 Subject to the provisions of Section 601: 
 (a) the Trustee conclusively may rely and
shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, 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 or direction of the Company
mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Company Request or Company Order and any resolution of the Board of Directors may be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution; 
 (c) whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to
taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, rely upon an Officers’ Certificate; 
 (d) the Trustee may consult with counsel and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization
and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon; 
 (e) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the
Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction; 
 (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, direction, consent, order, bond, indenture, Security or other paper or document, but the Trustee in its discretion may make such inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit,
and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost of the Company and shall incur no
liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation; 
 (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; 
 (h) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered, or omitted to be taken by it in
good faith and reasonably believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture; 
  

 48 








 (i) in no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, or
consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action; 
 (j) the Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has
actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Securities and this Indenture; 
 (k) the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be
indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent or custodian of the Trustee employed to act hereunder; and 
 (l) the Trustee may request that the Company deliver a certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers
authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture. 
 Section 604. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance
of Securities. 
 The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be taken
as the statements of the Company and neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent assumes any responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities.
Neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for the use or application by the Company of the Securities or the proceeds thereof. 
 Section 605. May Hold Securities. 
 The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any
Security Registrar or any other agent of the Company, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and, subject to Sections 608 and 613, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have
if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Security Registrar or such other Person. 
 Section 606. Money Held in
Trust. 
 Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The
Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed in writing with the Company. 
 Section 607. Compensation and Reimbursement. 
 The Company agrees: 
 (1) to pay to the Trustee from time to time compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder in such amounts as the Company and the
Trustee shall agree from time to time (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust); 
  


 49 








 (2) to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements
and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as
may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith; and 
 (3) to indemnify each of the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee and
their agents for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel and including taxes other than taxes based upon, measured by or
determined by the income of the Trustee) incurred without negligence or bad faith, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust or the performance of its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of
defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, or any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, or in connection with enforcing the
provisions of this Section. 
 To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section 607, the Company and the Holders agree
that the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee. Such lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 
 When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 501(5) or (6) occurs, the expenses and the
compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978 or any successor statute. 
 The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Indenture. 
 Section 608.
Disqualification; Conflicting Interests. 
 The Trustee for the Securities of any series issued hereunder shall be subject to the provisions
of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of said Section 310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures under which other securities or certificates of interest or
participation in other securities of the Company are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in said Section 310(b)(1) are met. Nothing herein shall prevent the Trustee from filing with the Commission the application
referred to in the second to last paragraph of said Section 310(b). 
 Section 609. Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility.

 There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be: 
 (a) a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any State or Territory or the District of Columbia,
authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and subject to supervision or examination by Federal, State, Territorial or District of Columbia authority, or 
 (b) a corporation or other Person organized and doing business under the laws of a foreign government that is permitted to act as Trustee pursuant to a
rule, regulation or order of the Commission, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, and subject to supervision or examination by authority of such foreign government or a political subdivision thereof substantially equivalent
to supervision or examination applicable to United States institutional trustees, in either case having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority. If such corporation
publishes 

  

 50 








 
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 609, 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. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be
eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 609, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article VI. Neither the Company nor any Person directly or indirectly controlling,
controlled by or under common control with the Company shall serve as Trustee for the Securities of any series issued hereunder. 
 Section 610. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor. 
 (a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee
and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article Six shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee under Section 611. 
 (b) The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the
Company. If an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may, at the Company’s expense, petition any court
of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series. 
 (c) The
Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the Securities of any series by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, delivered to the Trustee and to the Company. 
 (d) If at any time: 
 (1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 608 after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months, 
 (2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 609 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company
or by any such Holder, or 
 (3) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent or a
receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then, in any such case,
(i) the Company, acting pursuant to the authority of a Board Resolution, may remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities, or (ii) subject to Section 514, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six
months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all Securities and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees. 
 (e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any
cause with respect to the Securities of one or more series, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or
incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to
the 

  

 51 








 
Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Trustee
with respect to the Securities of such series and supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders and accepted
appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, subject to Section 514, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series. 
 (f) The
Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series and each appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series by mailing written notice of such
event by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the Holders of Securities of such series as their names and addresses appear in the Securities Register. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of
such series and the address of its Corporate Trust Office. 
 Section 611. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. 
 In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to all Securities, every such successor Trustee so appointed shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act,
deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and
deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee
hereunder. 
 In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series,
the Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which
(1) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or
those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the
rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and (3) shall add to or
change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall
constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee and upon the execution and
delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with
all the rights, powers, trusts, and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the Company or any successor Trustee, such
retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor
Trustee relates. 
  

 52 








 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 rights, powers and trusts referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 611, as the case may be. 
 No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this
Article Six. 
 Section 612. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. 
 Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder (provided that such
corporation shall otherwise be qualified and eligible under this Article), without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated but not
delivered by the Trustee then in office, any such successor to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such
Securities. In case any Securities shall not have been authenticated by such predecessor Trustee, any such successor Trustee may authenticate and deliver such Securities in either its own name or that of its predecessor Trustee. 
 Section 613. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company. 
 If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities), the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of
claims against the Company (or any such other obligor). 
 Section 614. Appointment of Authenticating Agent. 
 The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to one or more series of Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of
the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series issued upon original issue and upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 306, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the
benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the
Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall at all
times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, or of any State or Territory or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and
surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising
or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 614 the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so
published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 614, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this
Section 614. 
 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 

  

 53 








 
corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent shall be the successor Authenticating Agent
hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent. 
 An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate
the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall
cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 614, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall give notice of such appointment in the manner provided in
Section 106 to all Holders of Securities of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers
and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provision of this Section 614. 
 The Trustee agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section 614, and the
Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments, subject to the provisions of Section 607. 
 If an appointment with
respect to one or more series is made pursuant to this Section 614, the Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternative certificate of authentication in the
following form: 
 This is one of the Securities referred to in the within mentioned Indenture.

annual reports and the information, documents and other reports which are specified in Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act. Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the

for or obtain any electronic or other filings that the Company makes with the Commission, regardless of whether such filings are periodic, supplemental or otherwise. Delivery of the reports, information and documents to the Trustee pursuant to this
Section 704(b) shall be solely for the purposes of compliance with this Section 704(b) and with TIA Section 314(a). The Trustee’s receipt of such reports, information and documents shall not constitute notice to it of the content

the Trustee is absolutely entitled to rely upon Officers’ Certificates.

 (3) modify any of the provisions of this Section, Section 513 or Section 1006, except to increase any such percentage or to provide that certain other provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or

outstanding, (i) no such amendment shall be made that adversely affects the holders of such Capital Securities in any material respect, and no termination of this Indenture shall occur, and no waiver of any Event of Default or compliance with
any covenant under this Indenture shall be effective, without the prior consent of the holders of at least a majority of the aggregate liquidation preference of such Capital Securities then outstanding unless and until the principal (and premium, if
any) of the Securities of such series and all accrued and, subject to Section 307, unpaid interest (including any Additional Interest) thereon have been paid in full and (ii) no amendment shall be made to Section 508 of this Indenture

 A supplemental indenture which changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Indenture which shall have been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Securities, or which modifies the rights of the

modifications thereby of the trust created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Sections 315(a) through 315(d) of the Trust Indenture Act) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officers’
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that such supplemental indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by, and is a
valid, binding and enforceable obligation of, the Company, subject to customary exceptions. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture which affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities
under this Indenture or otherwise. 
  

 60

 Section 905. Reference in Securities to Supplemental Indentures. 
 Securities of any series authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article may, and shall if required by the Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by the
Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Company shall so determine, new Securities of any series so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Company, to any such supplemental indenture may be
prepared and executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Securities of such series. 
 Section 906. Effect on Senior Debt. 
 No supplemental indenture shall directly or indirectly modify or eliminate Article XIII
or the definition of “Senior Debt” applicable with respect to the Securities of any series in any manner which might terminate or impair the subordination of such series of Securities to such Senior Debt without the prior written consent
of the Holders of such Senior Debt.

 Every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article shall conform to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect. 

ARTICLE TEN 
 COVENANTS

 Section 1001. Payment of Principal, Premium, Interest and Additional Amounts. 
 The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of each series that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of, any premium and interest on and any
additional amounts specified in the Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series, whether payable in cash, shares of Common Stock or other securities or property, in accordance with the terms of such Securities and this Indenture.

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

 61 








 The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the
Securities of one or more series may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of
its obligation to maintain an office or agency in each Place of Payment for Securities of any series for such purposes. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the
location of any such other office or agency. 
 Section 1003. Money for Securities Payments to Be Held in Trust. 
 If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect to any series of Securities, it shall, on or before each due date of the
principal of, any premium or interest on, or any additional amounts with respect to any of the Securities of such series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum in the currency or currencies in which the
Securities of such series are payable sufficient to pay the principal, any premium, interest and additional amounts, as the case may be, so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided, and
shall promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. 
 Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any
series of Securities, it shall, on or prior to each due date of the principal of, or any premium or interest on or any additional amounts with respect to, any Securities of such series, deposit with any Paying Agent a sum (in the currency or
currencies described in the preceding paragraph) sufficient to pay the principal, premium, interest and additional amounts, as the case may be, so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto, and
(unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. 
 The Company
shall cause each Paying Agent for any series of Securities other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such
Paying Agent shall: 
 (1) hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of, any premium or interest on or any
additional amounts with respect to Securities of such series in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as provided in or pursuant to this Indenture; 
 (2) give the Trustee notice of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities of such series) in the making of any
payment of principal, any premium or interest on or any additional amounts with respect to the Securities of such series; 
 (3) at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent; and 
 (4) comply with the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act applicable to it as a Paying Agent. 
 The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company
Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such 

  

 62 








 
Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same terms 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 sums. 
 Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of, any premium or interest on or any additional amounts with respect to any Security of any series remaining
unclaimed for two years after such principal or such premium or interest or additional amount shall have become due and payable shall (unless otherwise required by mandatory provision of applicable escheat or abandoned or unclaimed property law) be
paid to the Company on Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall (unless otherwise required by mandatory provision of applicable escheat or abandoned or unclaimed property law) be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such
Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof,
shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may, at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language,
customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the
date of such publication or mailing nor shall it be earlier than two years after such principal and any premium or interest or additional amounts shall have become due and payable, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to
the Company. 
 Section 1004. Additional Tax Sums. 
 In the case of the Securities of a series issued to a Webster Trust, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 201 or
Section 301, in the event that (i) such Webster Trust is the Holder of all of the Outstanding Securities of such series, (ii) a Tax Event in respect of such Webster Trust shall have occurred and be continuing and (iii) the
Company shall not have (A) redeemed the Securities of such series pursuant to Section 1107(ii) or (B) terminated such Webster Trust pursuant to the related Trust Agreement, the Company shall pay to such Webster Trust (and its
permitted successors or assigns under the related Trust Agreement) for so long as such Webster Trust (or its permitted successor or assignee) is the registered holder of any Securities of such series, such additional amounts as may be necessary in
order that the amount of Distributions then due and payable by such Webster Trust on the related Capital Securities and Common Securities that at any time remain outstanding in accordance with the terms thereof shall not be reduced as a result of
any Additional Taxes (the “Additional Tax Sums”). Whenever in this Indenture or the Securities there is a reference in any context to the payment of principal of or interest on the Securities, such mention shall be deemed to include
mention of the payments of the Additional Tax Sums provided for in this paragraph to the extent that, in such context, Additional Tax Sums are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph and express
mention of the payment of Additional Tax Sums (if applicable) in any provisions hereof shall not be construed as excluding Additional Tax Sums in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made; provided, however, that the deferral of
the payment of interest pursuant to Section 311 of the Securities shall not deter the payment of any Additional Tax Sums that may be due and payable. 
 Section 1005. Corporate Existence. 
 Subject to Article Eight, the Company shall do or cause to be done
all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect (i) the corporate existence of the Company, (ii) the existence (corporate or other) of each Significant Subsidiary of the 

  

 63 








 
Company and (iii) the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company and each of its Significant Subsidiaries; provided,
however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve the existence (corporate or other) of any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any such right, license or franchise of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries if the Board of
Directors of the Company determines that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Significant Subsidiaries taken as a whole. 
 Section 1006. Waiver of Certain Covenants. 
 The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in Sections 1002 to 1005, inclusive, with respect to the Securities of any series and, if expressly provided pursuant to
Section 301(10) or (24), any additional covenants applicable to the Securities of such series if before the time for such compliance the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, by Act of
such Holders, either shall waive such compliance in such instance or generally shall have waived compliance with such term, provision or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such term, provision or condition except to the extent
so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in full force and effect. 
 Section 1007. Company Statement as to Compliance. 
 The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, a written statement (which need not be contained in or accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate) signed by the principal
executive officer, the principal financial officer or the principal accounting officer of the Company, stating whether or not, to the best of his or her knowledge, the Company is in default in the performance and observance of any of the terms,
provisions and conditions of this Indenture (without regard to notice requirements or periods of grace) and if the Company shall be in default, specifying all such defaults and the nature and status thereof of which he or she may have knowledge.

 Section 1008. Additional Covenants. 
 [If applicable, insert: The Company covenants with each Holder of Securities of a series issued to a Webster Trust (i) to maintain directly or indirectly 100% ownership of the Common Securities of such trust;
provided, however, that any permitted successor of the Company hereunder may succeed to the Company’s ownership of such Common Securities, (ii) to use its reasonable best efforts to cause such trust that issued such Trust Securities
(a) to remain a business trust except, in connection with a distribution of the Securities of such series to the holders of Trust Securities in liquidation of such Trust the conversion, exchange or redemption of all of its Trust Securities,
certain mergers, consolidations or amalgamations permitted by the related Trust Agreement; (b) to continue otherwise to be classified as a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes; and (c) to use its reasonable best
efforts to cause each holder of its Trust Securities to be treated as owning an undivided beneficial interest in the related Securities; and (iii) not to cause, as sponsor of such Trust, or to permit as the holder of its Common Securities, the
dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of such trust, except as provided in the Trust Agreement.]

 Section 1101. Applicability of This Article. 
 Redemption of Securities of any series (whether by operation of a sinking fund or otherwise) as permitted or required by any form of Security issued
pursuant to this Indenture shall be made in accordance with such form of Security and this Article; provided, however, that if any provision of any such form of Security shall conflict with any provision of this Article, the provision of such form
of Security shall govern. Except as otherwise set forth in the form of Security for such series, each Security of such series shall be subject to partial redemption only in the amount of $100,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof,
or, in the case of the Securities of a series issued to a Webster Trust, $100,000, or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. 
 Section 1102. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee. 
 The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced
by or pursuant to a Board Resolution. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company of less than all of the Securities of any particular series and having the same terms, the Company shall, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to
the Redemption Date (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such date and of the principal amount of Securities of that series to be redeemed. In the case of any redemption of Securities prior to the
expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel evidencing compliance with such restriction. 
 Section 1103. Selection of Securities to be Redeemed. 
 If less than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed (unless all the Securities of such series and of a specified tenor are to be redeemed or unless such redemption affects only a single Security), the
particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series not previously called for redemption, by such method as the Trustee shall deem
fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption of a portion of the principal amount of any Security of such series, provided that the portion of the principal amount of any Security not redeemed shall be in an authorized
denomination (which shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination) for such Security. If less than all the Securities of such series and of a specified tenor are to be redeemed (unless such redemption affects only a single Security),
the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series and specified tenor not previously called for redemption in accordance with
the preceding sentence. 
 The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Securities selected for partial redemption and the
principal amount thereof to be redeemed. For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate, in the case of any Security redeemed or to be redeemed only in
part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Security which has been or is to be redeemed. If the Company shall so direct, Securities registered in the name of the Company, any Affiliate or any Subsidiary thereof shall not be included in the
Securities selected for redemption. 
  

 65 








 Section 1104. Notice of Redemption. 
 Notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not later than the thirtieth day, and not earlier than the sixtieth day,
prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, at the address of such Holder as it appears in the Securities Register. 
 With respect to Securities of each series to be redeemed, each notice of redemption shall state: 
 (1) the
Redemption Date; 
 (2) the Redemption Price; 
 (3) if less than all Outstanding Securities of such particular series and having the same terms are to be redeemed, the identification
(and, in the case of partial redemption, the respective principal amounts) of the particular Securities to be redeemed; 
 (4)
that on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each such Security or portion thereof, and that interest thereon, if any, shall cease to accrue on and after said date; 
 (5) the place or places where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price; 
 (6) that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case; and 
 (7) the CUSIP numbers, if any. 
 Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Company shall be given by the Company or, at the Company’s request delivered at least 10 days before the date such notice is to be given (unless a shorter period
shall be acceptable to the Trustee), by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company and shall not be irrevocable. The notice if mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not
the Holder receives such notice. In any case, a failure to give such notice by mail or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Security designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the
redemption of any other Security. 
 Section 1105. Deposit of Redemption Price. 
 Prior to 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the Redemption Date specified in the notice of redemption given as provided in Section 1104, the Company
will deposit with the Trustee or with one or more Paying Agents (or if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, the Company will segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption
Price of, and any accrued interest (including Additional Interest) on, all the Securities which are to be redeemed on that date. 
 Section 1106. Payment of Securities Called for Redemption. 
 If any notice of redemption has been given as provided in
Section 1104, the Securities or portion of Securities with respect to which such notice has been given shall become due and payable on the date and at the place or places stated in such notice at the applicable Redemption Price. On presentation
and surrender of such Securities at a Place of Payment in said notice specified, the said securities or the specified portions thereof shall be paid and redeemed by the Company at the applicable Redemption Price, together 

  

 66 








 
with accrued interest (including any Additional Interest) to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 301, installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the
relevant Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 307. 
 Upon presentation of any Security redeemed in part
only, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Security or Securities of the same series, of authorized denominations, in aggregate principal amount equal to
the portion of the Security not redeemed so presented and having the same original issue date, Stated Maturity and terms. If a Global Security is so surrendered, such new Security will also be a new Global Security. 
 If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal of and premium, if any, on such Security
shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed therefor in the Security. 
 Section 1107. Right of
Redemption of Securities Initially Issued to a Webster Trust. 
 In the case of the Securities of a series initially issued to a Webster
Trust, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, the Company, at its option, may redeem such Securities (i) on or after the date five years after the original issue date of such Securities, in whole at any time or in
part from time to time, or (ii) upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Special Event, at any time within 90 days following the occurrence of such Special Event in respect of such Webster Trust, in whole (but not in part), in each
case at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof. 
 ARTICLE TWELVE 
 SINKING FUNDS 
 Section 1201.
Applicability of Article. 
 The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of any
series, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for such Securities. 
 The minimum amount of any sinking fund
payment provided for by the terms of any Securities of any series is herein referred to as a “mandatory sinking fund payment”, and any sinking fund payment in excess of such minimum amount which is permitted to be made by the terms of such
Securities of any series is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment”. If provided for by the terms of any Securities of any series, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in
Section 1202. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities of any series as provided for by the terms of such Securities. 
 Section 1202. Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities. 
 In lieu of making all or any part
of a mandatory sinking fund payment with respect to any Securities of a series in cash, the Company may at its option, at any time no more than 16 months and no less than 30 days prior to the date on which such sinking fund payment is due, deliver
to the Trustee Securities of such series (together with the unmatured coupons, if any, appertaining thereto) theretofore purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company, except Securities of such series that have been redeemed through the application
of mandatory or optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of the Securities of such series, accompanied by a 

  

 67 








 
Company Order instructing the Trustee to credit such obligations and stating that the Securities of such series were originally issued by the Company by way
of bona fide sale or other negotiation for value; provided, however, that the Securities to be so credited have not been previously so credited. The Securities to be so credited shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the
redemption price for such Securities, as specified in the Securities so to be redeemed, for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly. 
 Section 1203. Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund. 
 Not less than 60 days 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 such Securities pursuant to the terms of such Securities, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash in the currency in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as provided pursuant to
Section 301) and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities pursuant to Section 1202 and will also deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so delivered. Such Officers’ Certificate
shall be irrevocable and upon its delivery the Company shall be obligated to make the cash payment or payments therein referred to, if any, on or before the succeeding sinking fund payment date. In the case of the failure of the Company to deliver
such Officers’ Certificate (or, as required by this Indenture, the Securities and coupons, if any, specified in such Officers’ Certificate), the sinking fund payment due on the succeeding sinking fund payment date for such series shall be
paid entirely in cash and shall be sufficient to redeem the principal amount of the Securities of such series subject to a mandatory sinking fund payment without the right to deliver or credit securities as provided in Section 1202 and without
the right to make the optional sinking fund payment with respect to such series at such time. 
 Any sinking fund payment or payments
(mandatory or optional) made in cash plus any unused balance of any preceding sinking fund payments made with respect to the Securities of any particular series shall be applied by the Trustee (or by the Company if the Company is acting as its own
Paying Agent) on the sinking fund payment date on which such payment is made (or, if such payment is made before a sinking fund payment date, on the sinking fund payment date immediately following the date of such payment) to the redemption of
Securities of such series at the Redemption Price specified in such Securities with respect to the sinking fund. Any sinking fund moneys not so applied or allocated by the Trustee (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregated and
held in trust by the Company as provided in Section 1003) for such series and together with such payment (or such amount so segregated) shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1203. Any and all sinking fund
moneys with respect to the Securities of any particular series held by the Trustee (or if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregated and held in trust as provided in Section 1003) on the last sinking fund payment date with
respect to Securities of such series and not held for the payment or redemption of particular Securities of such series shall be applied by the Trustee (or by the Company if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent), together with other moneys,
if necessary, to be deposited (or segregated) sufficient for the purpose, to the payment of the principal of the Securities of such series at Maturity. The Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the
manner specified in Section 1103 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 1104. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such
Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Section 1106. On or before each sinking fund payment date, the Company shall pay to the Trustee (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, the Company shall
segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003) in cash a sum in the currency in which Securities of such series are payable (except as provided pursuant to Section 301) equal to the principal and any interest accrued to the
Redemption Date for Securities or portions thereof to be redeemed on such sinking fund payment date pursuant to this Section 1203. 
  

 68 








 Neither the Trustee nor the Company shall redeem any Securities of a series with sinking fund moneys or
mail any notice of redemption of Securities of such series by operation of the sinking fund for such series during the continuance of a default in payment of interest, if any, on any Securities of such series or of any Event of Default (other than
an Event of Default occurring as a consequence of this paragraph) with respect to the Securities of such series, except that if the notice of redemption shall have been provided in accordance with the provisions hereof, the Trustee (or the Company,
if the Company is then acting as its own Paying Agent) shall redeem such Securities if cash sufficient for that purpose shall be deposited with the Trustee (or segregated by the Company) for that purpose in accordance with the terms of this Article
Twelve. Except as aforesaid, any moneys in the sinking fund for such series at the time when any such default or Event of Default shall occur and any moneys thereafter paid into such sinking fund shall, during the continuance of such default or
Event of Default, be held as security for the payment of the Securities and coupons, if any, of such series; provided, however, that in case such default or Event of Default shall have been cured or waived herein, such moneys shall thereafter be
applied on the next sinking fund payment date for the Securities of such series on which such moneys may be applied pursuant to the provisions of this Section 1203. 
 ARTICLE THIRTEEN 
 SUBORDINATION OF SECURITIES 
 Section 1301. Securities Subordinate to Senior Debt. 
 The Company covenants and agrees, and each Holder of a Security, by its acceptance thereof, likewise covenants and agrees, that, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth in this Article Thirteen, the
payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest (including any Additional Interest) on each and all of the Securities are hereby expressly made subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all amounts
then due and payable in respect of all Senior Debt. 
 Section 1302. Payment Over of Proceeds Upon Dissolution, Etc. 
 In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial
proceeding relative to the Company (each such event, if any, herein sometimes referred to as a “Proceeding”), then the holders of Senior Debt shall be entitled to receive payment in full of all amounts then due and payable in respect of
such Senior Debt, or provision shall be made for such payment in cash or cash equivalents or otherwise in a manner satisfactory to the holders of Senior Debt, before the Holders of the Securities are entitled to receive or retain any payment or
distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities (including any payment or distribution which may be payable or deliverable by reason of the payment of any other Debt of the Company subordinated to the payment of the
Securities, such payment or distribution being hereinafter referred to as a “Junior Subordinated Payment”), on account of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Securities or on account of
the purchase or other acquisition of Securities by the Company or any Subsidiary and to that end the holders of Senior Debt shall be entitled to receive, for application to the payment thereof, any payment or distribution of any kind or character,
whether in cash, property or securities, including any Junior Subordinated Payment, which may be payable or deliverable in respect of the Securities in any such Proceeding. 
 In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1302, the Trustee or the Holder of any Security shall have received any
payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, 

  

 69 








 
including any Junior Subordinated Payment, before all amounts then due and payable in respect of all Senior Debt are paid in full or payment thereof is
provided for in cash or cash equivalents or otherwise in a manner satisfactory to the holders of Senior Debt, and if such fact shall, at or prior to the time of such payment or distribution, have been made known to the Trustee or, as the case may
be, such Holder, then and in such event such payment or distribution shall be paid over or delivered forthwith to the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, liquidating trustee, custodian, assignee, agent or other Person making payment or distribution of
assets of the Company for application to the payment of all amounts then due and payable in respect of all Senior Debt remaining unpaid, to the extent necessary to pay all amounts then due and payable in respect of all Senior Debt in full, after
giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of Senior Debt. 
 For purposes of this Article Thirteen only,
the words “any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities” shall not be deemed to include shares of stock of the Company as reorganized or readjusted, or securities of the Company or any other
corporation provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment which securities are subordinated in right of payment to all then outstanding Senior Debt to substantially the same extent as the Securities are so subordinated as provided in this
Article Thirteen. The consolidation of the Company with, or the merger of the Company into, another Person or the liquidation or dissolution of the Company following the sale of all or substantially all of its properties and assets as an entirety to
another Person upon the terms and conditions set forth in Article Thirteen shall not be deemed a Proceeding for the purposes of this Section 1302 if the Person formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or the Person which
acquires by sale such properties and assets as an entirety, as the case may be, shall, as a part of such consolidation, merger, or sale comply with the conditions set forth in Article Eight. 
 Section 1303. Prior Payment to Senior Debt Upon Acceleration of Securities. 
 In the event that any Securities are declared due and payable before their Stated Maturity, then and in such event the holders of the Senior Debt
outstanding at the time such Securities so become due and payable shall be entitled to receive payment in full of all amounts then due and payable in respect of such Senior Debt (including any amounts due upon acceleration), or provision shall be
made for such payment in cash or cash equivalents or otherwise in a manner satisfactory to the holders of Senior Debt, before the Holders of the Securities are entitled to receive any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in
cash, properties or securities (including any Junior Subordinated Payment) by the Company on account of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on the Securities or on account of the purchase or other acquisition of Securities by the
Company or any Subsidiary; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 1303 shall prevent the satisfaction of any sinking fund payment in accordance with this Indenture or as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for the
Securities of any series by delivering and crediting pursuant to Section 1202 or as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for the Securities of any series Securities which have been acquired (upon redemption or otherwise)
prior to such declaration of acceleration. 
 In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall make any payment to the
Trustee or the Holder of any Security prohibited by the foregoing provisions of this Section 1303, and if such fact shall, at or prior to the time of such payment, have been made known to the Trustee or, as the case may be, such Holder, then
and in such event such payment shall be paid over and delivered forthwith to the Company. 
 The provisions of this Section 1303 shall
not apply to any payment with respect to which Section 1302 would be applicable. 
  

 70 








 Section 1304. No Payment When Senior Debt in Default. 
 In the event and during the continuation of any default in the payment of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Senior Debt, or in the
event that any event of default with respect to any Senior Debt shall have occurred and be continuing and shall have resulted in such Senior Debt becoming or being declared due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise have become
due and payable, unless and until such event of default shall have been cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist and such acceleration shall have been rescinded or annulled, or (b) in the event any judicial proceeding shall be pending with
respect to any such default in payment or such event of default, then no payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, properties or securities (including any Junior Subordinated Payment) shall be made by the Company on account
of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest (including any Additional Interest), if any, on the Securities or on account of the purchase or other acquisition of Securities by the Company or any Subsidiary, in each case unless and until all
amounts then due and payable in respect of such Senior Debt are paid in full; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 1304 shall prevent the satisfaction of any sinking fund payment in accordance with this Indenture or as otherwise
specified as contemplated by Section 301 for the Securities of any series by delivering and crediting pursuant to Section 1202 or as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for the Securities of any series Securities which
have been acquired (upon redemption or otherwise) prior to such default in payment or event of default. 
 In the event that, notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Company shall make any payment to the Trustee or the Holder of any Security prohibited by the foregoing provisions of this Section 1304, and if such fact shall, at or prior to the time of such payment, have been made known to
the Trustee or, as the case may be, such Holder, then and in such event such payment shall be paid over and delivered forthwith to the Company. 
 The provisions of this Section 1304 shall not apply to any payment with respect to which Section 1302 would be applicable. 
 Section 1305. Payment Permitted If No Default. 
 Nothing contained in this Article Thirteen or elsewhere in this Indenture or
in any of the Securities shall prevent (a) the Company, at any time except during the pendency of any Proceeding referred to in Section 1302 or under the conditions described in Sections 1303 and 1304, from making payments at any time of
principal of (and premium, if any) or interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Securities, or (b) the application by the Trustee of any money deposited with it hereunder to the payment of or on account of the principal of (and
premium, if any) or interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Securities or the retention of such payment by the Holders, if, at the time of such application by the Trustee, it did not have knowledge that such payment would have been
prohibited by the provisions of this Article Thirteen. 
 Section 1306. Subrogation to Rights of Holders of Senior Debt. 
 Subject to the payment in full of all amounts due or to become due on all Senior Debt, or the provision for such payment in cash or cash equivalents or
otherwise in a manner satisfactory to the holders of Senior Debt, the Holders of the Securities shall be subrogated to the extent of the payments or distributions made to the holders of such Senior Debt pursuant to the provisions of this Article
Thirteen (equally and ratably with the holders of all indebtedness of the Company which by its express terms is subordinated to Senior Debt of the Company to substantially the same extent as the Securities are subordinated to the Senior Debt and is
entitled to like rights of subrogation by reason of any payments or distributions made to holders of such Senior Debt) to the rights of the holders of such Senior Debt to receive payments and distributions of cash, property and securities applicable
to the Senior Debt until the 

  

 71 








 
principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Securities shall be paid in full. For purposes of such subrogation, no payments or distributions to
the holders of the Senior Debt of any cash, property or securities to which the Holders of the Securities or the Trustee would be entitled except for the provisions of this Article, and no payments over pursuant to the provisions of this Article
Thirteen to the holders of Senior Debt by Holders of the Securities or the Trustee, shall, as among the Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior Debt, and the Holders of the Securities, be deemed to be a payment or distribution by the
Company to or on account of the Senior Debt. 
 Section 1307. Provisions Solely to Define Relative Rights. 
 The provisions of this Article Thirteen are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities on
the one hand and the holders of Senior Debt on the other hand. Nothing contained in this Article Thirteen or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities is intended to or shall (a) impair, as between the Company and the Holders of the
Securities, the obligations of the Company, which are absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Holders of the Securities the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Securities as and when the same
shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms; or (b) affect the relative rights against the Company of the Holders of the Securities and creditors of the Company other than their rights in relation to the holders of Senior Debt;
or (c) prevent the Trustee or the Holder of any Security from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Indenture including, without limitation, filing and voting claims in any Proceeding, subject to
the rights, if any, under this Article Thirteen of the holders of Senior Debt to receive cash, property and securities otherwise payable or deliverable to the Trustee or such Holder. 
 Section 1308. Trustee to Effectuate Subordination. 
 Each Holder of a Security by his or her acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee on his or her behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to acknowledge or effectuate the subordination
provided in this Article Thirteen and appoints the Trustee his or her attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. 
 Section 1309.
No Waiver of Subordination Provisions. 
 No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Debt to enforce subordination as herein
provided shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder, or by any noncompliance by the Company with the terms,
provisions and covenants of this Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof that any such holder may have or be otherwise charged with. 
 Without in any way limiting the generality of the immediately preceding paragraph, the holders of Senior Debt may, at any time and from to time, without the consent of or notice to the Trustee or the Holders of the Securities, without
incurring responsibility to the Holders of the Securities and without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this Article or the obligations hereunder of the Holders of the Securities to the holders of Senior Debt, do any one or more
of the following: (i) change the manner, place or terms of payment or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, Senior Debt, or otherwise amend or supplement in any manner Senior Debt or any instrument evidencing the same or any
agreement under which Senior Debt is outstanding; (ii) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing Senior Debt; (iii) release any Person liable in any manner for the collection of
Senior Debt; and (iv) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Company and any other Person. 
  

 72 








 Section 1310. Notice to Trustee. 
 The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any fact known to the Company which would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the
Trustee in respect of the Securities. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article Thirteen or any other provision of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts which would prohibit the making of
any payment to or by the Trustee in respect of the Securities, unless and until the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof from the Company or a holder of Senior Debt or from any trustee, agent or representative therefor; provided,
however, that if the Trustee shall not have received the notice provided for in this Section 1310 at least two Business Days prior to the date upon which by the terms hereof any monies may become payable for any purpose (including, without
limitation, the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest (including any Additional Interest) on any Security), then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to
receive such monies and to apply the same to the purpose for which they were received and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary which may be received by it within two Business Days prior to such date. 
 Subject to the provisions of Section 601, the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a Person
representing himself to be a holder of Senior Debt (or a trustee therefor) to establish that such notice has been given by a holder of Senior Debt (or a trustee therefor). 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 Debt to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the
Trustee as to the amount of Senior Debt held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article, and if such
evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment. 
 Section 1311. Reliance on Judicial Order or Certificate of Liquidating Agent. 
 Upon any payment or
distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article Thirteen, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 601, and the Holders of the Securities shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon any order or decree entered by any
court of competent jurisdiction in which such Proceeding is pending, or a certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, liquidating trustee, custodian, assignee for the benefit of creditors, agent or other Person making such payment or
distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities, for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of the Senior Debt 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 Thirteen. 
 Section 1312. Trustee Not Fiduciary for Holders of Senior Debt. 
 The Trustee, in its capacity as
trustee under this Indenture, shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Debt and shall not be liable to any such holders if it shall in good faith mistakenly pay over or distribute to Holders of Securities or to the
Company or to any other Person cash, property or securities to which any holders of Senior Debt shall be entitled by virtue of this Article or otherwise. With respect to the holders of Senior Debt, the Trustee undertakes to perform or to observe
only such of its covenants or obligations as are specifically set forth in this Article and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to holders of Senior Debt shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. 
  

 73 








 Section 1313. Rights of Trustee as Holder of Senior Debt; Preservation of Trustee’s Rights.

 The Trustee in its individual capacity shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article Thirteen with respect to any Senior
Debt which may at any time be held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Senior Debt, and nothing in this Indenture shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder. 
 Nothing in this Article shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 607. 
 Section 1314. Article 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 Thirteen shall in such case
(unless the context otherwise requires) be construed as extending to and including such Paying Agent within its meaning as fully for all intents and purposes as if such Paying Agent were named in this Article Thirteen in addition to or in place of
the Trustee. 
 Section 1315. Certain Conversions or Exchanges Deemed Payment. 
 For the purposes of this Article Thirteen only, (a) the issuance and delivery of junior securities upon conversion or exchange of Securities shall
not be deemed to constitute a payment or distribution on account of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest (including any Additional Interest) on Securities or on account of the purchase or other acquisition of Securities, and
(b) the payment, issuance or delivery of cash, property or securities (other than junior securities) upon conversion or exchange of a Security shall be deemed to constitute payment on account of the principal of such security. For the purposes
of this Section 1315, the term “junior securities” means (i) shares of any stock of any class of the Company and (ii) securities of the Company which are subordinated in right of payment to all Senior Debt which may be
outstanding at the time of issuance or delivery of such securities to substantially the same extent as, or to a greater extent than, the Securities are so subordinated as provided in this Article Thirteen. 
 *        *        *        *        * 
 This instrument may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts
shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.
