matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such
Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents. 
  

 - 10 - 








 Any certificate or opinion of an officer of the Company may be based, insofar as it relates to legal
matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer or counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon
which his certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the
Company stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Company, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with
respect to such matters are erroneous. 
 Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents,
certificates, statements, opinions, or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument. 
 Section 1.4 Acts of Holders. 
 (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
action provided by this Indenture to be given to or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as
herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments is or are delivered to the Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. The Trustee shall promptly deliver to the
Company copies of any such instrument or instruments delivered to the Trustee. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such
instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.1) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the
Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section. 
 (b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or
writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by the certificate of any notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing
acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a Person acting in other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. 
 (c) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be
proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient and in accordance with such reasonable rules as the Trustee may determine. 
 (d) The ownership of Securities shall be proved by the Securities Register. 
 (e) The principal amount and serial numbers of
Bearer Securities held by any Person, and the date of holding the same, may be proved by the production of such Bearer 

  

 - 11 - 








 
Securities or by a certificate executed, as depositary, by any trust company, bank, banker or other depositary, wherever situated, if such certificate shall
be deemed by the Trustee to be satisfactory, showing that at the date therein mentioned such Person had on deposit with such depositary, or exhibited to it, the Bearer Securities therein described; or such facts may be proved by the certificate or
affidavit of the Person holding such Bearer Security, if such certificate or affidavit is deemed by the Trustee to be satisfactory. The Trustee and the Company may assume that such ownership of any Bearer Security continues until (1) another
certificate or affidavit bearing a later date issued in respect of the same Bearer Security is produced, (2) such Bearer Security is produced to the Trustee by some other person, (3) such Bearer Security is surrendered in exchange for a
Registered Security or (4) such Bearer Security is no longer Outstanding. 
 (f) The fact and date of execution of any such instrument
or writing, the authority of the Person executing the same and the principal amount and serial number of Bearer Securities held by the Person so executing such instrument and writing and the date of holding the same may also be proved in any other
manner which the Trustee deems sufficient; and the Trustee may in any instance require further proof with respect to any of the matters referred to in this Section. 
 (g) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Security and the Holder of every Security issued upon
the transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security.

 (h) The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the identity of Holders
of Outstanding Securities of any series entitled to give, make or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given, made or taken by Holders of Securities
of such series; provided that, the Company may not set a record date for, and the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply with respect to, the giving or making of any notice, declaration, request or direction referred to in the next paragraph.
If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to take the relevant action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders
after such record date; provided that, no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date.
Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Company from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall
automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the
relevant series on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Company, at its own expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration
Date to be given to the Trustee in writing and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 1.6. 
  

 - 12 - 








 The Trustee may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding
Securities of any series entitled to join in the giving or making of (i) any Notice of Default, (ii) any declaration of acceleration referred to in Section 5.2, (iii) any request to institute proceedings referred to in
Section 5.7(2) or (iv) any direction referred to in Section 5.12, in each case with respect to Securities of such series. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities of such series on
such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that, no such action shall be effective hereunder unless
taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Trustee from setting a new
record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this
paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to
this paragraph, the Trustee, at the Company’s expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Company in writing and to each Holder of Securities of the
relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 1.6. 
 With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party
hereto which sets such record date 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 1.6, 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. 
 (i) Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to take any action hereunder with regard to any particular Security may do so with
regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such Security or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such principal amount. 
 Section 1.5 Notices, Etc. to Trustee and Company. 
 Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with, 
 (1) the Trustee by any Holder or by the Company shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with
the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, Attention: Corporate Unit, or 
  

 - 13 - 








 (2) the Company by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose (except as
otherwise provided in Section 5.1) hereunder if in writing and mailed, first-class, postage prepaid, to the Company addressed to it at the address of its principal office specified in the first paragraph of this instrument or at any other
address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company, Attention: Corporate Treasurer. 
 The Trustee agrees to accept and
act upon instructions or directions pursuant to this Indenture sent by e-mail, facsimile transmission or other unsecured electronic methods; provided, however, that (a) the party providing such written instructions, subsequent to such
transmission of written instructions, shall provide the originally executed instructions or directions to the Trustee in a timely manner, and (b) such originally executed instructions or directions shall be signed by an authorized
representative of the party providing such instructions or directions. If the party elects to give the Trustee e-mail or facsimile instructions (or instructions by a similar electronic method) and the Trustee acts upon such instructions, the
Trustee’s reasonable understanding of such instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee’s reliance upon and compliance with such
instructions to the extent that such instructions conflict or are inconsistent with the originally executed written instruction subsequently provided to the Trustee. The party providing electronic instructions agrees to assume all risks arising out
of the use of such electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to the Trustee, including without limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk or interception and misuse by third parties.

 Section 1.6 Notice to Holders; Waiver. 
 Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any series of Securities of any event: 
 (a) such notice shall be
sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class, postage prepaid, or delivered by hand or overnight courier to each Holder of a Registered Security affected by such event, at the address of such
Holder as it appears in the Securities Register, not later than the latest date (if any), and not earlier than the earliest date (if any), prescribed for the giving of such notice. 
 (b) such notice shall be sufficiently given to Holders of Bearer Securities if published in an Authorized Newspaper in the City of New York and, if the
Securities of such series are then listed on any stock exchange and such stock exchange shall so require, in any other required city outside the United States or, if not practicable, elsewhere on a Business Day at least twice, the first such
publication to be not earlier than the earliest date, and not later than the latest day, prescribed for the giving of such notice; it being understood that the Company shall notify the Trustee of any of the foregoing requirements a reasonable amount
of time prior to the date on which such notice must be given (but in no event less than five Business Days). 
 In case by reason of the
suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every
purpose hereunder. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail or delivered by hand or 

  

 - 14 - 








 
overnight courier, neither the failure to mail or to deliver by hand or overnight courier such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed or delivered by
hand or overnight courier, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders of Registered Securities or the sufficiency of any notice by publication to Holders of Bearer Securities given as provided
above. 
 In case by reason of the suspension of publication of any Authorized Newspaper or Authorized Newspapers or by reason of any other
cause it shall be impracticable to publish any notice to Holders of Bearer Securities as provided above, then such notification to Holders of Bearer Securities as shall be given with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute sufficient notice to
such Holders for every purpose hereunder. Neither the failure to give notice by publication to Holders of Bearer Securities as provided above, nor any defect in any notice so published, shall affect the sufficiency of any notice mailed to Holders of
Registered Securities as provided above. 
 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. 
 Where this Indenture provides for notice of any event to a Holder of a
Global Security, such notice shall be sufficiently given if given to the Depositary for such Security (or its designee), pursuant to its Applicable Procedures, not later than the latest date (if any), and not earlier than the earliest date (if any),
prescribed for the giving of such notice. 
 Section 1.7 Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. 
 If any provision of this Indenture limits, qualifies or conflicts with a provision of the Trust Indenture Act that is required under the Trust Indenture
Act to be a part of and governed by this Indenture, the latter provision shall control. If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act, which may be so modified or excluded, the latter provisions
shall be deemed to apply to this Indenture as so modified or to be excluded, as the case may be.

 Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors and
assigns, the holders of Senior Indebtedness and the Holders any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture. 
 Section 1.12 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Trial by Jury. 
 EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED AS CONTEMPLATED BY
SECTION 3.1 FOR THE SECURITIES OF SUCH SERIES, THIS INDENTURE AND THE SECURITIES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF. The parties and (by

and hereby waive the right to a trial by jury in any action or proceeding. All actions and proceedings brought by Company against the Trustee relating to or arising from, directly or indirectly, this Indenture shall be litigated only in courts
located within the State of New York. In this regard, the parties agree that the courts of the State of New York located in Manhattan are the most convenient forum to resolve such actions and, accordingly, will not argue to the contrary in such

WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS INDENTURE, THE SECURITIES OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

on any Security, or for any claim based thereof or otherwise in respect thereof, and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Company in this Indenture or in any supplemental indenture or in any Security, or because of
the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, employee, agent, officer or director or subsidiary, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or any successor corporation, either
directly or through the Company or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, it being expressly understood that all such liability is
hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as a consideration for, the execution of this Indenture and the issue of the Securities.

 - 23 - 








 All Securities of any one series and the coupons appertaining to Bearer Securities of such series, if
any, shall be substantially identical except as to denomination and except as may otherwise be provided herein or in or pursuant to such Board Resolution and set forth in such Officers’ Certificate or in any such indenture supplemental hereto.

 All Securities shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the obligations of the Company to holders of Senior Indebtedness of
the Company as provided in Article XV. 
 If any of the terms of the Securities of any series are established by action taken pursuant to a
Board Resolution, a copy of an appropriate record of such action shall be certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company and delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Officers’ Certificate setting forth
the terms of the series. All Securities of any one series need not be issued at the same time and may be issued from time to time, consistent with the terms of this Indenture. Unless otherwise provided in an indenture supplemental hereto, a series
of Securities may be reopened to issue additional series of such Securities. 
 Section 3.2 Denominations. 
 The Securities of each series shall be issuable in such form and denominations as shall be specified as contemplated by Section 3.1. In the absence
of any such specified denomination with respect to the Securities of any series, the Registered Securities of such series shall be issuable only as Securities without coupons in minimum denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof and
the Bearer Securities of each series, if any, shall be issuable with coupons and in denominations of $             and
$            . 
 Section 3.3 Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. 

 The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, Vice Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer
(or any co-Chief Executive Officer if the title is allocated to more than one Person), President, Chief Financial Officer or Treasurer 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 and coupons 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, together with any
coupons appertaining thereto, 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 2.1 and 3.1, in authenticating such Securities, and accepting the
additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be provided with, and (subject to 

  

 - 24 - 








 
Section 6.1) shall be fully protected in conclusively relying upon, a copy of such Board Resolution, the Officers’ Certificate setting forth the
terms of the series and 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 2.1, 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 3.1, that such terms have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and 
 (3) that such Securities have been duly executed and delivered by the Company and, 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 3.1 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 3.1 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. 
 Each Registered Security shall be dated
the date of its authentication; and unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1, each Bearer Security and any temporary Global Security shall be dated as of the date of the issuance of such Security. 
 No Security or coupon 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 3.9, 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 3.4 Temporary Securities. 
 Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities of such series in lieu of which they are issued
in registered form or, if authorized, in bearer form with one or more coupons or without coupons, 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. In the case of any series that may be issuable as Bearer Securities, such temporary Securities may be Global Securities, representing such of the Outstanding Securities of such series as shall be
specified therein. 
 Except in the case of temporary Global Securities, each of which shall be exchanged in accordance with the provisions
of the following paragraph, 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 any authorized denominations having the same Original Issue Date and Stated
Maturity and having the same terms as such temporary Securities; provided however, that no definitive Bearer Security shall be delivered in exchange for a temporary Registered Security; and provided further, that a definitive Bearer Security shall
be delivered in exchange for a temporary Bearer Security only in compliance with the conditions set forth in Section 3.3. 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. 
 Without unnecessary delay, but in any event not later than five Business Days
prior to the date specified in, or determined pursuant to the terms of, any such temporary Global Securities as the “Exchange Date,” the Company shall deliver to the Trustee, or, if the Trustee appoints an Authenticating Agent pursuant to
Section 6.14, to any such Authenticating Agent, definitive Securities in aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such temporary Global Security, executed by the Company. Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 3.1, such definitive Securities shall be in the form of Bearer Securities or Registered Securities, or any combination thereof, as may be appropriate. On or after the Exchange Date, such temporary Global Security shall be surrendered by
the Depositary to the Trustee or any such Authenticating Agent, as the Company’s agent for such purpose, to be exchanged, in whole or from time to time in part, for definitive Securities without charge to the Depositary and the Trustee or any
such Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for each portion of such temporary Global Securities, an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series, of authorized denominations and of like
tenor as the portion of such temporary Global Security to be exchanged, which, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1, shall be in the form of Bearer Securities, if applicable, or Registered Securities, or any combination
thereof, as shall be specified by the beneficial 

  

 - 26 - 








 
owner thereof in writing delivered to the Trustee; provided, however, that unless otherwise specified in such temporary Global Security, upon such
presentation by the Depositary, such temporary Global Security is accompanied by a certificate dated the Exchange Date or a subsequent date; and provided, further, that a definitive Bearer Security shall be delivered in exchange for a portion of a
temporary Global Security only in compliance with the conditions set forth in Section 3.3. 
 Upon any exchange of a portion of any such
Global Security, the Trustee or any such Authenticating Agent or the Depositary, as the case may be, shall indicate upon such temporary Global Security, the amount of such exchange to reflect the reduction of the principal amount evidenced thereby,
whereupon its remaining principal amount shall be reduced for all purposes by the amount so exchanged. Until so exchanged in full, such temporary Global Security shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as
definitive Securities of such series authenticated and delivered hereunder. 
 Section 3.5 Registration, Transfer and Exchange. 
 With respect to the Registered Securities, the Company shall keep or 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 Registered Security of a series 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, Registered Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Registered 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. 
 Registered Securities may not be exchanged for Bearer Securities. Bearer Securities may not be exchanged for Bearer Securities of other authorized
denominations. 
 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 

  

 - 27 - 








 
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Securities Registrar for such series, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney
duly authorized in writing. 
 Unless otherwise provided in the Securities to be transferred or exchanged, no service charge shall be made to
a Holder for any transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company (unless otherwise provided in such Securities) 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 other than exchanges pursuant to Section 3.4, 9.6 or 11.7 not involving any transfer. 
 If the
Securities of any series (or of any series and specified tenor) are to be redeemed in part, neither the Company nor any Securities Registrar shall be required (i) to issue, register the transfer or exchange of any Securities of that series (or
of that series and specified tenor, as the case may be) during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of such Securities selected for redemption and ending at the close of
business on (A) if Securities of the series are issuable only as Registered Securities, the day of the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption of Registered Securities of such series so selected for redemption, or (B) if Securities of
the series are issued as Bearer Securities, the day of the first publication of the relevant notice of redemption or, if Securities of the series are also issuable as Registered Securities and there is no publication, the mailing of the relevant
notice of redemption or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange of any Security so selected for redemption, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part. 
 The provisions of Clauses (1), (2), (3) 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 3.1. 
 (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 

  

 - 28 - 








 
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 3.4, 3.6, 9.6 or 11.7 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. 
 Section 3.6 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 such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may,
instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security. 
 Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the Company may require
the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) connected therewith. 
 Every new Security of any series, with its coupons, if any, 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 duly issued hereunder. 
 The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude
(to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities.

 Section 3.7 Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved. 
 Except as otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.1 with respect to any series of Securities, interest on any Registered Security of any
series which is payable or deliverable, and is punctually paid, delivered or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date, shall be paid or delivered to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered
at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest 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. 
 Any interest on any Registered Security of any series which is payable,
but is not timely paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date for Securities of such series (herein called “Defaulted Interest”), shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date
by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest 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 Registered Securities of such series in respect of
which interest is in default (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall
notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security of such series and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money or other
property 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 or delivery, such money or property
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 or delivery 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 or delivery and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment or delivery. 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 or delivery 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. Notice of the proposed payment or delivery 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 the Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close
of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following Clause (2). In case a Bearer Security of any series is surrendered at the office or agency in a Place of Payment for such series in exchange for a
Registered Security of such series after the close of business at such office or agency on any Special Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the related proposed date of payment or delivery of Defaulted Interest,
such Bearer Security shall be surrendered without the coupon relating to such proposed date for payment or 

  

 - 30 - 








 
delivery and Defaulted Interest will not be payable or deliverable on such proposed date for payment or delivery in respect of the Registered Security issued
in exchange for such Bearer Security, but will be payable only to the Holder of such coupon when due in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. 
 (2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Securities of the
series in respect of which interest is in default may be listed or traded 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. 
 Subject to the foregoing provisions of
this Section, 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.

 Subject to the provisions of Section 14.2, in the case of any Security (or any part thereof) which is converted after any Regular
Record Date and on or prior to the next succeeding Interest Payment Date (other than any Security the principal of (or premium, if any, on) which shall become due and payable, whether at Stated Maturity or by declaration of acceleration or otherwise
prior to such Interest Payment Date), interest whose Stated Maturity is on such Interest Payment Date shall be payable on such Interest Payment Date notwithstanding such conversion and such interest (whether or not punctually paid or duly provided
for) shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or any one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on such Regular Record Date. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the immediately preceding sentence
or in Section 14.2, in the case of any Security (or any part thereof) which is converted, interest whose Stated Maturity is after the date of conversion of such Security (or such part thereof) shall not be payable. 
 Section 3.8 Persons Deemed Owners. 
 Title to any
Bearer Security, any coupons appertaining thereto and any temporary Global Security in bearer form shall pass by delivery. 
 Prior to due
presentment of a Security for registration of transfer of any Registered Security, 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 and (subject to Section 3.7) any interest on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of
the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the
Trustee may treat the bearer of any Bearer Security and the bearer of any coupon, as the case may be, as the absolute owner of such Security or coupon for the purposes of receiving payment thereof or on account thereof and for all other purposes
whatsoever whether or not such Security or coupon is 

  

 - 31 - 








 
overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 Section 3.9 Cancellation. 
 All Securities and
coupons surrendered for payment, redemption, transfer or exchange or for credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee, and any such Securities and coupons and
Securities and coupons surrendered directly to the Trustee for any such purpose shall be promptly canceled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder
which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Securities and coupons so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities canceled as
provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Securities and coupons shall be disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its customary procedures and the Trustee shall deliver to the Company upon request
a certificate of such disposal. 
 Section 3.10 Computation of Interest. 
 Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 for Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of each series for any period
shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and interest on the Securities of each series 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.

 Section 3.11 CUSIP Numbers. 
 The
Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers and/or other similar numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” and/or other similar numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience
to Holders; provided that, any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the
other 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 of any change in the “CUSIP” and/or other
numbers. 
 ARTICLE IV 
 SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE 
 Section 4.1 Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. 
 This Indenture shall upon Company Request 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 4.1) and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this
Indenture, when 
  

 - 32 - 








 (1) either 
 (A) all Securities theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (i) coupons appertaining to Bearer Securities surrendered for exchange for Registered Securities and maturing after such exchange, whose
surrender is not required or has been waived, (ii) coupons appertaining to Bearer Securities call for redemption and maturing after the relevant Redemption Date, whose surrender has been waived, (iii) Securities and coupons which have been
destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 3.6 and (iv) Securities for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter
repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 10.3) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or 
 (B) all such Securities 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 of the date of deposit, or 
 (iii) are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the
Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company, 
 and the Company, in the case of Clause (B) (i), (ii) or (iii) above, has deposited
or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for such purpose an amount in the currency or currencies in which the Securities of such series are payable sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Securities
and coupons not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal (and premium, if any) and interest to the date of such deposit (in the case of Securities which have become due and payable) or to the Stated Maturity or Redemption
Date, as the case may be;

to subclause (B) of Clause (1) of this Section, the obligations of the Trustee under Section 4.2 and the last paragraph of Section 10.3 shall survive such satisfaction and discharge. The Trustee may give notice to the Holders or
Securities Outstanding of the immediate availability of the amount referred to in Clause (1) above. 
  

 - 33 - 








 In the event there are Securities of two or more series hereunder, the Trustee shall be required to
execute an instrument acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture only if requested to do so with respect to Securities of all series as to which it is Trustee and if the other conditions thereto are met. The effectiveness of any such
instrument shall be conditioned upon receipt of such instruments from the Trustee. 
 Section 4.2 Application of Trust Money. 
 Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 10.3, all money or property deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.1 and
Article XIII shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying
Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest for the payment of which such money or obligations have been deposited with or received by the Trustee. 
 ARTICLE V 
 REMEDIES 

Section 5.1 Events of Default. 
 “Event
of Default,” wherever used herein with respect to the Securities of any series, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be occasioned by the provisions of Article XV or shall be
voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body), unless in the Board Resolution, supplemental
indenture or Officers’ Certificate establishing such series, it is provided that such series shall not have the benefit of said Event of Default: 
 (1) default in the payment of any interest upon any Security of that series, when it becomes due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days; or 
 (2) default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security of that series at its Maturity; or 
 (3) default in the deposit of any sinking fund payment, when and as due by the terms of a Security of that series; or 
 (4) default in the performance, or breach, in any material respect, of any covenant or warranty of the Company in this Indenture (other than a covenant
or warranty a default in the performance of which or the breach of which is elsewhere in this Section specifically dealt with or which has expressly been included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of series of Securities other than that
series), and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 60 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series affected thereby (voting together as a single class) a 

  

 - 34 - 








 
written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder;
or 
 (5) the entry of a decree or order by a court having jurisdiction in the premises adjudging the Company a bankrupt or insolvent, or
approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Company under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law, or appointing a
receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Company or of any substantial part of its property or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order
unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; or 
 (6) the institution by the Company of proceedings to be adjudicated a
bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by it to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against it, or the filing by it of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable Federal or State
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law, or the consent by it to the filing of any such petition or to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Company or of
any substantial part of its property, or the making by it of an assignment for the benefit for creditors, or the admission by it in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due and its willingness to be adjudicated a
bankrupt, or the taking of corporate action by the Company in furtherance of any such action; or 
 (7) any other Event of Default provided
with respect to Securities of that series in the Board Resolutions, supplemental indenture or Officers’ Certificate establishing that series. 
 Section 5.2 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. 
 Unless the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture or
Officers’ Certificate establishing such series provides otherwise, if an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(5) or 5.1(6)) with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs and is
continuing, then and in every such case, except for any series of Securities the principal of which shall have already become due and payable, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all
affected series then Outstanding (voting together as a single class) may declare the principal amount (or, if the Securities of that series are Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that
series) of all the Securities of the affected series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders) and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified portion thereof)
of and the accrued interest on all the Securities of such affected series shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(5) or 5.1(6) with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding
occurs, the principal amount of all the Securities of that series (or, if the Securities of that series are Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount of such Securities as may be specified by the terms of that series) shall
automatically, and without any declaration or other action on the part of the Trustee or any Holder, become immediately due and payable. Any payment by the Company on the Securities 

  

 - 35 - 








 
following any such acceleration will be subject to the subordination provisions of Article XV to the extent provided therein. 
 At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to Securities of any series has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment
of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all affected series then Outstanding (voting together a single class), by written
notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if: 
 (1) the Company has paid or
deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay: 
 (A) all overdue installments of interest on all Securities of that series, 

(B) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Securities of that series which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration
and interest thereon at the rate borne by the Securities, 
 (C) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon
overdue interest at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities; and 
 (D) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder
and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel; and 
 (2) all Events of
Default with respect to Securities of that series, other than the non-payment of the principal of Securities of that series which has become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.13. 
 No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 Section 5.3 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. 
 The Company covenants that if: 
 (1) default is made in the payment of any installment of interest on any
Security when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or 
 (2) default is made in the
payment of the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Security at the Maturity thereof, 
 the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay or deliver
to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable or deliverable on such Securities for principal, including any sinking fund payment or analogous obligations (and premium, if any) and interest;
and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. 
  

 - 36 - 








 If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as
trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums 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
the Securities and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon the 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 necessary to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant
or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy. 
 Section 5.4 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 of such other obligor or their creditors, 
 (a) the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities of any series shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by
declaration of acceleration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of overdue principal (and premium, if any) or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in
such proceeding or otherwise, 
 (i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal (or, if the Securities of that series are
Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amounts as may be due and payable pursuant to a declaration in accordance with Section 6.2 and premium, if any) and interest owing and unpaid in respect to the Securities and to file such other
papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable and to take any and all actions as are authorized under the Trust Indenture Act in order to have the claims of the Holders and any predecessor to the Trustee under Section 6.7 allowed in any
such judicial proceedings; and 
 (ii) in particular, the Trustee shall be authorized to collect and receive any moneys or other property
payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same in accordance with Section 5.6; and 
 (b) any custodian,
receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator (or other similar official) in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments or deliveries to the Trustee for distribution in accordance with
Section 5.6, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it and any predecessor Trustee under Section 6.7. 
  

 - 37 - 








 Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or
adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such
proceeding; provided, however, that the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders, vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a creditors’ or other similar committee. 
 Section 5.5 Trustee May Enforce Claim Without Possession of Securities. 
 All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities or any series or coupons, if any, appertaining thereto, may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the
Securities or coupons, if any, appertaining thereto, or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of
judgment shall, after provision for the payment of all the amounts owing the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee under Section 6.7, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such
judgment has been recovered. 
 Section 5.6 Application of Money Collected. 
 Any money or property collected or to be applied by the Trustee with respect to a series of Securities pursuant to this Article, after reserving therefrom
by the Trustee an amount sufficient, in the determination of the Trustee, to cover the expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee that may be incurred thereafter, 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 or property on account of principal (or premium, if any) or interest, upon presentation of the Securities and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender
thereof if fully paid: 
 FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee, its agents and counsel and any predecessor Trustee, its agents
and counsel under Section 6.7; 
 SECOND: Subject to Article XV, to the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon such series of
Securities for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such series
of Securities for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, respectively; and 
 THIRD: The balance, if any, to the Company. 

Section 5.7 Limitation on Suits. 
 No Holder
of any Securities of any series or any related coupons shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator (or
other similar official) or for any other remedy hereunder, unless: 
  

 - 38 - 








 (1) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with
respect to the Securities of that series; 
 (2) the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all
affected series then Outstanding (voting together as a single class) 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 security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it 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
pursuant to Section 5.12; 
 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 itself of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders of Securities, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any
right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all such Holders. 
 Section 5.8
Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest. 
 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 3.7) interest on such Security or payment on such coupon on the respective
Stated Maturities expressed in such Security or coupon (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) to convert such Securities in accordance with Article XIV to the extent that such right to convert is applicable to such Security, and to
institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. 
 Section 5.9
Restoration of Rights and Remedies. 
 If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under
this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case the Company, the Trustee and the Holders 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 the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

  

 - 39 - 








 Section 5.10 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. 
 Except as otherwise provided in the last paragraph of Section 3.6, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the
Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or
in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 
 Section 5.11 Delay or Omission Not Waiver. 
 No
delay or omission of the Trustee, any Holder of any Security to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein.
Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee (subject to the limitations contained in this Indenture) or by the
Holders, as the case may be. 
 Section 5.12 Control by Holders. 
 The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all affected series (voting together as a single class) at the time Outstanding 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 and the Trustee shall not have determined that the action so
directed would be unjustly prejudicial to Holders of Securities of that series, or any other series, not taking part in such direction, 
 (2) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction, and 
 (3)
subject to the provisions of Section 6.1, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow such direction if a Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee shall, in good faith, determine that the proceeding so directed would involve the
Trustee in personal liability or would otherwise be contrary to applicable law. 
 Section 5.13 Waiver of Past Defaults. 
 Subject to Section 5.2, the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series as to which
an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (voting together as a single class) may, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such affected series, waive any past default hereunder and its consequences with respect to such series
except: 
  

 - 40 - 








 (1) a default in the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any Security of such
series, 
 (2) a default in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article IX cannot be modified or amended without the
consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of such series affected, or 
 (3) to the extent such right is applicable to such
Security, a failure by the Company on request to convert any Security into Common Stock. 
 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 5.14 Undertaking for Costs. 
 In any suit
for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, a court may require any party litigant in such suit to file an undertaking to pay the
costs of such suit, and may assess costs against any such party litigant, in the manner and to the extent provided in the Trust Indenture Act; provided that, neither this Section nor the Trust Indenture Act shall be deemed to authorize any court to
require any such an undertaking or to make such an assessment in any suit instituted by the Company or in any suit for the enforcement of the right to convert any Security in accordance with Article XIV. 
 This Section 5.14 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the
aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Security on or after the
respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security. 
 Section 5.15 Waiver of Usury, Stay or Extension Laws. 
 The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or
take the benefit or advantage of, any usury, stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do
so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as
though no such law had been enacted.

 ARTICLE VI 
 THE TRUSTEE 
 Section 6.1 Certain Duties and Responsibilities. 
 (a) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default with respect to a series of Securities, 
 (1) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and only with respect to series
of Securities as to which it is the Trustee, 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). 
 (b) In case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as to a series of Securities as to which it is Trustee, 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. 
 (c) 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 5.12 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. 
 (d) 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 

  

 - 42 - 








 
for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. 
 (e) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording
protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section. 
 Section 6.2 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 on any Security of such series, the Trustee shall be fully protected in withholding such notice if and so long as a committee of
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, in the case of any default of the character specified in
Section 5.1(4), no such notice to Holders of Securities of such series shall be given until at least 60 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 6.3 Certain Rights of Trustee. 

 Subject to the provisions of Section 6.1: 
 (a) the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent,
order, bond, debenture, Security, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties; 
 (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 shall 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 negligence or bad faith
on its part, conclusively 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 

  

 - 43 - 








 
this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it 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;

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; 
 (i) the Trustee shall not be deemed to have
notice or be charged with knowledge of any default or Event of Default with respect to the Securities for which it is acting as Trustee unless written notice of such default or Event of Default, as the case may be, is received by a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee from the Company, any other obligor upon such Securities or by any Holder of such Securities, and such notice references the Securities and this Indenture; 
 (j) 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, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder; 
 (k) the Trustee may request that the Company deliver an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this
Indenture, which Officers’ Certificate may be signed by any persons authorized to sign an Officers’ Certificate, including any person specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded; and

 (l) 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. 
 Section 6.4 Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities. 
 The recitals contained
herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee’s certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and neither the Trustee nor 

  

 - 44 - 








 
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 6.5 May Hold Securities and Act as Trustee Under Other Indentures. 
 The Trustee,
any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Securities 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 6.8 and 6.13, may otherwise deal
with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Securities Registrar or such other agent. 
 Subject to the limitations imposed by the Trust Indenture Act, nothing in this Indenture shall prohibit the Trustee from becoming and acting as trustee under other indentures under which other securities, or
certificates of interest of participation in other securities, of the Company are outstanding in the same manner as if it were not Trustee hereunder. 
 Section 6.6 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 or other property received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed with the Company. 
 Section 6.7 Compensation and Reimbursement. 
 The
Company agrees: 
 (1) to pay to the Trustee from time to time compensation for all services rendered by it, as may be applicable, hereunder
in such amounts as the Company and the Trustee shall agree in writing 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); 
 (2) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances
incurred or made by it in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel not regularly in its employ), except any such expense, disbursement or
advance as shall be caused by its own negligence or bad faith; and 
 (3) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to indemnify
each of the Trustee, and any predecessor trustee and their agents, for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability, tax, penalty, claim, damage or expense (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of their
agents and counsel) of any kind or nature whatsoever incurred without negligence or bad faith, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust or the performance of their duties hereunder, including the
enforcement of this provision and the costs and expenses of defending themselves against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of their powers or 

  

 - 45 - 








 
duties hereunder. This indemnification shall survive the termination of this Indenture. This Section 6.7 shall survive the termination of this Indenture
or the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee. 
 To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section, 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 except funds held in trust for the benefit of Holders of particular Securities. Such lien shall survive the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 
 In addition to and without prejudice to its rights hereunder, when the Trustee incurs
expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, receivership, insolvency
or similar law. 
 “Trustee” for the purposes of this Section shall include any predecessor Trustee; provided, however, that the
negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of any Trustee hereunder shall not affect the rights of any other Trustee hereunder. 
 Section 6.8
Disqualification; Conflicting Interests. 
 If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of
Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture. 
 Section 6.9 Type of Trustee Required; Eligibility. 
 There shall at all times be one (and only one) Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of each series, which may be Trustee hereunder for the Securities of one or more other series. Each Trustee shall be a corporation that is

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, subject, nevertheless, to its lien provided for in Section 6.7.

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

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

certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all rights, powers and trusts referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, as the case may be.

this Article. 
 Section 6.12 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 such corporation
shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the
Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated, and in case any Securities shall not have been authenticated, any
successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Securities in the name of such successor Trustee, and in all cases the certificate of authentication shall have the full force which it is provided anywhere in the Securities or in this Indenture that
the certificate of the Trustee shall have.

 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 3.6, 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 

  

 - 49 - 








 
the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and
surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising
or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If
at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section. 
 Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any
merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to 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, 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 1.6 to all Holders of Securities of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers
and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section. 
 If an appointment with respect to one or more series is made pursuant to this Section, the Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in
addition to the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternative certificate of authentication in the following form: 
 This is
one of the Securities referred to in the within mentioned Indenture.

have been effected at the Place of Payment for such Global Security in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. 
 Section 10.3 Money for
Security Payments to be Held in Trust. 
 If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect to any series of
Securities, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any of the Securities of such series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the
principal (and premium, if any) or interest so 

  

 - 58 - 








 
becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided, and will promptly notify the Trustee of its failure
so to act. 
 Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of Securities, it will, on or prior to each due date
of the principal of or interest on any Securities, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such
principal and premium (if any) or interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its failure so to act. 
 The Company will cause each Paying Agent for any series of Securities other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the
provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will: 
 (1) hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if
any) or interest on Securities in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided; 
 (2) give the Trustee notice of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities) in the making of any payment of principal (and
premium, if any) or interest; 
 (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 Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such
sums were held by the Company or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money. 
 Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any)
or interest on any Security and remaining unclaimed for a period ending on the earlier of the date that is ten Business Days prior to the date such money would escheat to the State or two years after such principal (and premium, if any) or interest
has become due and payable shall (unless otherwise required by mandatory provision of applicable escheat or abandoned or unclaimed property law) be paid on Company Request to the Company, 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, its officers, directors, shareholders, employees and agents or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon 

  

 - 59 - 








 
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 an Authorized Newspaper in each Place of Payment, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance
of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company. In the absence of a written request from the Company to return unclaimed funds to the Company, the Trustee shall from time to time deliver all unclaimed funds to or as directed by
applicable escheat authorities, as determined by the Trustee in its sole discretion, in accordance with the customary practices and procedures of the Trustee. Any unclaimed funds held by the Trustee pursuant to this Section shall be held uninvested
and without any liability for interest. 
 Section 10.4 Statement as to Compliance. 
 The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each calendar year of the Company ending after the date hereof, an
Officers’ Certificate covering the preceding calendar year, stating whether or not to the best knowledge of the signers thereof the Company is in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of or compliance with any of the terms,
provisions, covenants and conditions of this Indenture, and if the Company shall be in default, specifying all such defaults and the nature and status thereof of which they may have knowledge. For the purpose of this Section 10.4, compliance
shall be determined without regard to any grace period or requirement of notice provided pursuant to the terms of this Indenture. 
 Section 10.5
Waiver of Certain Covenants. 
 Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 for Securities of such series, the
Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any covenant or condition provided pursuant to Section 3.1(l), 9.1(3), 9.1(4) and 9.1(7) with respect to the Securities of any series, if before or after the time for such compliance
the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series affected by such waiver (voting together as a single class) either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with
such covenant or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such covenant 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 covenant or condition shall remain in full force and effect. 
 Section 10.6 Corporate Existence. 
 Subject to Article VIII, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate
existence and its rights (charter and statutory) and franchises; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right or franchise if the Company shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in
the conduct of its business and that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders. 
  

 - 60 - 








 Section 10.7 Appointment to Fill a Vacancy in Office of Trustee. 
 The Company, whenever necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in the office of the Trustee, will appoint, in the manner provided in Section 6.10, a
Trustee so that there shall at all times be a Trustee with respect to each series of Securities hereunder. 
 ARTICLE XI 
 REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES 
 Section 11.1
Applicability of this Article. 
 The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to the Securities of any series which are redeemable
before their maturity. 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. 
 Section 11.2 Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee. 
 The election of the Company to redeem any Securities redeemed at the option of the Company shall be evidenced by or pursuant to a Board Resolution or in another manner specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 for such Securities. In
case of any redemption at the election of the Company of any Securities of a series, the Company shall, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the
Trustee), notify the Trustee of such 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 or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel evidencing compliance with such restriction. 
 Section 11.3 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 unredeemed portion of the principal amount of any Security shall be in an authorized denomination (which shall
not be less than the minimum authorized denomination; provided that, Securities in denominations larger than $1,000 may be redeemed in part, but only in integral multiples of $1,000) for such Security, or, in the case of Bearer Securities, equal to
$[            ] or $[            ]. 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 

  

 - 61 - 








 
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 and the Securities Registrar in writing of the
Securities selected for partial redemption and the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. 
 If any Security selected for partial
redemption is converted in part before the termination of the conversion right with respect to the portion of the Security so selected, the converted portion of such Security shall be deemed (so far as may be) to be the portion selected for
redemption. Securities that have been converted during a selection of Securities to be redeemed shall be treated by the Trustee as Outstanding for purposes of such selection. 
 The provisions of the two preceding paragraphs shall not apply with respect to any redemption affecting only a single Security, whether such Security is
to be redeemed in whole or in part. In the case of any such redemption in part, the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of the Security shall be in an authorized denomination (which shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination)
for such Security. 
 For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of
Securities shall relate, in the case of any 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. 
 Section 11.4 Notice
of Redemption. 
 Notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not later than the 30th day, and not
earlier than the 60th 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 or, in the case of Bearer Securities, the manner provided in
Section 1.6. 
 With respect to Securities of each series to be redeemed, each notice of redemption shall state: 
 (a) the Redemption Date; 
 (b) the
Redemption Price; 
 (c) 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; 
 (d) that on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price, and, accrued interest, if any, 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;

  

 - 62 - 








 (e) in the case any Security is to be redeemed in part only, the notice that relates to such Security
shall state that on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Security, the Holder will receive, without charge, a new Security or Securities of authorized denominations for the principal amount thereof remaining unredeemed; 

(f) the conversion price, the date on which the right to convert the principal of the Securities to be redeemed will terminate and the place or
places where such Securities may be surrendered for conversion; 
 (g) the place or places where such Securities, together in the case of
Bearer Securities with all remaining coupons appertaining thereto, if any, maturing after the Redemption Date, are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price; 
 (h) the CUSIP and/or other similar numbers as contemplated by Section 3.11; and 
 (i) that the
redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case. 
 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 ten days prior to the date such notice is to be given (unless a shorter period shall be acceptable to the Trustee, which acceptance shall not be unreasonably
withheld), by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company. 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 11.5 Deposit of Redemption Price. 
 Prior
to 11:00 a.m. New York City time on the Redemption Date specified in the notice of redemption given as provided in Section 11.4, 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 10.3) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and any accrued interest on, all the Securities which are to be redeemed on that date,
other than any Securities called for redemption on that date that have been converted prior to the date of such deposit. 
 If any Security
called for redemption is converted, any money deposited with the Trustee or with any Paying Agent or so segregated and held in trust for the redemption of such Security shall (subject to the right of the Holder of such Security or any Predecessor
Security to receive interest as provided in the last paragraph of Section 3.7) be paid to the Company upon the Company Request or, if then held by the Company, shall be discharged from such trust. 
 Section 11.6 Payment of Securities Called for Redemption. 
 If any notice of redemption has been given as provided in Section 11.4, the Securities or portion of Securities with respect to which such notice has been given shall become 

  

 - 63 - 








 
due and payable on the date and at the place or places stated in such notice at the applicable Redemption Price and after such date (unless the Company shall
default in the payment of the Redemption Price) such Securities shall cease to bear interest and the coupons for such interest appertaining to any Bearer Securities so to be redeemed, except to the extent provided below, shall be void. 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 with accrued
interest to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that installments of interest on Bearer Securities whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable only at an office or agency as specified in the Security and, unless
otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1, only upon presentation and surrender of coupons for such interest. Installments of interest on Registered Securities 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 Regular Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 3.7. 
 If any Bearer Security surrendered for redemption shall not be accompanied by all appurtenant coupons maturing after the Redemption Date, such Security
may be paid after deducting from the Redemption Price an amount equal to the face amount of all such missing coupons, or to the surrender of such missing coupon or coupons may be waived by the Company and the Trustee, if there be furnished to them
such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them and any Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter, the Holder of such Bearer Security shall surrender to the Trustee or any Paying Agent any such missing coupon in respect of which a
deduction shall have been made from the Redemption Price, such Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount so deducted from the Company; provided, however, that interest represented by coupons shall be payable only at an office or agency located
outside the United States and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1, only upon presentation and surrender of those coupons. 
 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 11.7 Securities Redeemed in Part. 
 Any Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment therefor (with, if the
Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall
execute, and such Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service charge to the Holder, a new Security or Securities of the same Series and Stated Maturity, of any authorized denominations as requested by such
Holder, in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security surrendered. If a Global Security is so surrendered, such new Security will also be a new Global Security. 
  

 - 64 - 








 Section 11.8 Redemption Suspended During Event of Default. 
 The Trustee shall not redeem any Securities (unless all Securities then Outstanding are to be redeemed) or commence the giving of any notice of redemption
of Securities during the continuance of any Event of Default known to the Trustee, except that where the giving of notice of redemption of any Securities shall theretofore have been made, the Trustee shall, subject to the provisions of
Section 12.3, redeem such Securities; provided funds are deposited with it for such purpose. Subject to the rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness, except as aforesaid, any moneys theretofore or thereafter received by the Trustee shall,
during the continuance of such Event of Default, be held in trust for the benefit of the Holders and applied in the manner set forth in Section 5.6; provided, however, that in case such Event of Default shall have been waived as provided herein
or otherwise cured, such moneys shall thereafter be held and applied in accordance with the provisions of this Article. 
 ARTICLE XII 

 SINKING FUNDS 
 Section 12.1
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 3.1 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 12.2. 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 12.2 Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities. 
 The Company (1) may deliver Outstanding
Securities of a series (other than any previously called for redemption) together, in the case of any Bearer Securities of such series, with all unmatured coupons appertaining thereto and (2) may apply as a credit Securities [of a series that
has been converted pursuant to Article XII or] that have been redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of
such Securities, in each case in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to any Securities of such series required to be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities as and to the extent provided for by the terms of
such Securities; provided 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. 
  

 - 65 - 








 Section 12.3 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 3.1) and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities pursuant to Section 12.2 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 12.2 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 10.3) for such series and together with such payment (or such amount so segregated) shall be applied in accordance with
the provisions of this Section 12.3. 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 10.3) 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 11.3 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 11.4. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 11.6 and 11.7. 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 10.3) in cash a sum in the currency in which Securities of such series are payable (except as provided pursuant
to Section 3.1) 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 12.3. 
  

 - 66 - 








 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
XII. 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 12.3. 
 ARTICLE XIII

 The Company may elect, at its option at any time, to have Section 13.2 or Section 13.3 applied to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be, designated pursuant to Section 3.1 as
being defeasible pursuant to such Section 13.2 or 13.3, in accordance with any applicable requirements provided pursuant to Section 3.1 and upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article. Any such election shall be
evidenced by a Board Resolution or in another manner specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 for such Securities. 
 Section 13.2 Defeasance
and Discharge. 
 Upon the Company’s exercise of its option (if any) to have this Section applied to any Securities or any series of
Securities, as the case may be, the Company shall be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations, and the provisions of Article XV shall cease to be effective, with respect to such Securities as provided in this Section on and after the date
the conditions set forth in Section 13.4 are satisfied (hereinafter called “Defeasance”). For this purpose, such Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by such
Securities and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Securities and this Indenture insofar as such Securities are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same),
subject to the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: 
 (1) the rights of Holders of such
Securities to receive, solely from the trust fund described in Section 13.4 and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of and any premium and interest on such Securities when payments are due, 

 

 - 67 - 








 (2) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Securities under Sections 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 10.2 and
10.3, and, if applicable, Article XIV, 
 (3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder, and 
 (4) this Article. 
 Subject to compliance
with this Article, the Company may exercise its option (if any) to have this Section applied to any Securities notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option (if any) to have Section 13.3 applied to such Securities. 
 Section 13.3 Covenant Defeasance. 
 Upon the
Company’s exercise of its option (if any) to have this Section applied to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be, 
 (1) the Company shall be released from any covenants provided pursuant to Sections 3.1(l), 9.1(3), 9.1(4) or 9.1(7) for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, as the case may be, and 
 (2) the occurrence of any event specified in Section 5.1(4) (with respect to any of Sections 10.6 and 10.7 and any such covenants provided pursuant
to Sections 3.1(l), 9.1(3), 9.1(4) or 9.1(7)) and the occurrence of any other Event of Default specified pursuant to Section 3.1 shall be deemed not to be or result in an Event of Default, and 
 (3) the provisions of Article XV shall cease to be effective, 
 in each case with respect to such Securities or series of Securities as provided in this Section on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 13.4 are satisfied (hereinafter called “Covenant Defeasance”). For
this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to such Securities, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such specified Section (to the
extent so specified in the case of Section 5.1(4) and the occurrence of any Event of Default specified pursuant to Section 3.1) or Article XV, whether directly or indirectly by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such Section
or by reason of any reference in any such Section to any other provision herein or in any other document, but the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities shall be unaffected thereby. 
 Section 13.4 Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 
 The following shall be the conditions to the application of Section 13.2 or Section 13.3 to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be:

benefits of the Holders of such Securities, 
  

 - 68 - 








 (A) in the case of Securities of a series denominated in currency of the United States,

 (i) cash in currency of the United States in an amount, or

their terms will provide, not later than one day before the due date of any payment, an amount in cash, or 
 (iii) a
combination thereof, or 
 (B) in the case of Securities of a series denominated in currency other than that of the United
States, 
 (i) cash in the currency in which such series of Securities is denominated in an amount, or

 (B) since the date of this instrument, there has been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law, 
 in either case (A) or (B) to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders of such Securities will not recognize gain or loss
for Federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit, Defeasance and discharge to be effected with respect to such Securities and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would be
the case if such deposit, Defeasance and discharge were not to occur. 
  

 - 69 - 








 (3) In the event of an election to have Section 13.3 apply to any Securities or any series of
Securities, as the case may be, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of such Securities will not recognize gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit and
Covenant Defeasance to be effected with respect to such Securities and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would be the case if such deposit and Covenant Defeasance were not to occur.

 (4) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that neither such Securities nor any other
Securities of the same series, if then listed on any securities exchange, will be delisted as a result of such deposit. 
 (5) No event which
is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to such Securities or any other Securities shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such deposit or, with regard to any such event specified in
Sections 5.1(5) and (6), at any time on or prior to the 90th day after the date of such deposit (it being understood that this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until after such 90th day). 
 (6) Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not cause the Trustee to have a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act
(assuming all Securities are in default within the meaning of such Act). 
 (7) Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a
breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, this Indenture or any other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound. 
 (8) Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in the trust arising from such deposit constituting an investment company within the meaning of the Investment Company Act unless such trust shall be
registered under such Act or exempt from registration thereunder. 
 (9) At the time of such deposit, 
 (A) no default in the payment of any principal of or premium or interest on any Senior Indebtedness shall have occurred and be continuing, 
 (B) no event of default with respect to any Senior Indebtedness shall have resulted in such Senior Indebtedness becoming, and continuing to be, due and
payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise have become due and payable (unless payment of such Senior Indebtedness has been made or duly provided for), and 
 (C) no other event of default with respect to any Senior Indebtedness shall have occurred and be continuing permitting (after notice or lapse of time or both) the holders of such Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee on
behalf of such holders) to declare such Senior Indebtedness due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise have become due and payable.

 (10) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent with respect to such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance have been complied with. 
 Section 13.5
Deposited Money, U.S. Government Obligations and Foreign Government Obligations to be Held in Trust; Miscellaneous Provisions. 
 Subject
to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 10.3, all money, U.S. Government Obligations and Foreign Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee or other qualifying trustee (solely for purposes of
this Section and Section 13.6, the Trustee and any such other trustee are referred to collectively as the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 13.4 in respect of any Securities shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in
accordance with the provisions of such Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any such Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such
Securities, of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal and any premium and interest, but money so held in trust need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. Money, U.S. Government Obligations
and Foreign Government Obligations so held in trust shall not be subject to the provisions of Article XV. 
 The Company shall pay and
indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations or Foreign Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 13.4 or the principal and interest received in respect
thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of Outstanding Securities. Anything in this Article to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to
time upon Company Request any money, U.S. Government Obligations or Foreign Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 13.4 with respect to any Securities which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public
accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect the Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, with respect to
such Securities. 
 Section 13.6 Reinstatement. 
 If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with this Article with respect to any Securities by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining,
restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the obligations under this Indenture and such Securities from which the Company has been discharged or released pursuant to Section 13.2 or 13.3 shall be revived and reinstated as
though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article with respect to such Securities, until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all money held in trust pursuant to Section 13.5 with respect to such Securities in
accordance with this Article; provided, however, that if the Company makes any payment of principal of or any premium or interest on any such Security following such reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights (if
any) of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money so held in trust.

 ARTICLE XIV 
 CONVERSION OF SECURITIES 
 Section 14.1 Applicability of Article. 
 The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to the Securities of any series which are convertible into shares of Common Stock of the Company, and
the issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of such Securities, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 for the Securities of such series. 
 Section 14.2 Exercise of Conversion Privilege. 
 In order to exercise a conversion privilege, the
Holder of a Security of a series with such a privilege shall surrender such Security to the Company at the office or agency maintained for that purpose pursuant to Section 10.2, accompanied by a duly executed conversion notice to the Company
substantially in the form set forth in Section 2.5 stating that the Holder elects to convert such Security or a specified portion thereof. Such notice shall also state, if different from the name and address of such Holder, the name or names
(with address) in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock, which shall be issuable on such conversion, shall be issued. Securities surrendered for conversion shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly
endorsed by or accompanied by instruments of transfer in forms satisfactory to the Company duly executed by the Holder or its attorney duly authorized in writing; and Securities so surrendered for conversion (in whole or in part) during the period
from the close of business on any Regular Record Date to the opening of business on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date (excluding Securities or portions thereof called for redemption during the period beginning at the close of business on a
Regular Record Date and ending at the opening of business on the first Business Day after the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, or if such Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day, the second such Business Day) shall also be accompanied by
payment in funds acceptable to the Company of an amount equal to the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date on the principal amount of such Security then being converted, and such interest shall be payable to such Holder notwithstanding the
conversion of such Security, subject to the provisions of Section 3.7 relating to the payment of Defaulted Interest by the Company. As promptly as practicable after the receipt of such notice and of any payment required pursuant to a Board
Resolution and, subject to Section 3.3, set forth, or determined in the manner provided, in an Officers’ Certificate, or established in one or more indentures supplemental hereto setting forth the terms of such series of Security, and the
surrender of such Security in accordance with such reasonable regulations as the Company may prescribe, the Company shall issue and shall deliver, at the office or agency at which such Security is surrendered, to such Holder or on its written order,
a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of such Security (or specified portion thereof), in accordance with the provisions of such Board Resolution, Officers’ Certificate or
supplemental indenture, and cash as provided therein in respect of any fractional share of such Common Stock otherwise issuable upon such conversion. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on
the date on which such notice and such payment, if required, shall have been received in proper order for conversion by the Company and such Security shall have been surrendered as aforesaid (unless such Holder shall have so surrendered such
Security and shall have instructed the Company to 

  

 - 72 - 








 
effect the conversion on a particular date following such surrender and such Holder shall be entitled to convert such Security on such date, in which case
such conversion shall be deemed to be effected immediately prior to the close of business on such date) and at such time the rights of the Holder of such Security as such Security Holder shall cease and the person or persons in whose name or names
any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become the Holder or Holders of record of the shares represented thereby. Except as set forth above and subject
to the final paragraph of Section 3.7, no payment or adjustment shall be made upon any conversion on account of any interest accrued on the Securities (or any part thereof) surrendered for conversion or on account of any dividends on the Common
Stock of the Company issued upon such conversion. In the case of any Security which is converted in part only, upon such conversion the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or on the order of 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 unconverted portion of such Security. 
 Section 14.3 No Fractional Shares. 
 No fractional share of Common Stock of the Company shall be
issued upon conversions of Securities of any series. If more than one Security shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder, the number of full shares which shall be issuable upon conversion shall be computed on the basis of
the aggregate principal amount of the Securities (or specified portions thereof to the extent permitted hereby) so surrendered. If, except for the provisions of this Section 14.3, any Holder of a Security or Securities would be entitled to a
fractional share of Common Stock of the Company upon the conversion of such Security or Securities, or specified portions thereof, the Company shall pay to such Holder an amount in cash equal to the current market value of such fractional share
computed, (i) if such Common Stock is listed or admitted to unlisted trading privileges on a national securities exchange or market, on the basis of the last reported sale price regular way on such exchange or market on the last trading day
prior to the date of conversion upon which such a sale shall have been effected, or (ii) if such Common Stock is not at the time so listed or admitted to unlisted trading privileges on a national securities exchange or market, on the basis of
the average of the bid and asked prices of such Common Stock in the over-the-counter market, on the last trading day prior to the date of conversion, as reported by the National Quotation Bureau, Incorporated or similar organization if the National
Quotation Bureau, Incorporated is no longer reporting such information, or if not so available, the fair market price as determined by the Board of Directors. For purposes of this Section, “trading day” shall mean each Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday other than any day on which the Common Stock is not traded on the New York Stock Exchange, or if the Common Stock is not traded on the New York Stock Exchange, on the principal exchange or market on which the Common
Stock is traded or quoted. 
 Section 14.4 Adjustment of Conversion Price. 
 The conversion price of Securities of any series that is convertible into Common Stock of the Company shall be adjusted for any stock dividends, stock
splits, reclassifications, combinations or similar transactions in accordance with the terms of the supplemental indenture or Board Resolutions setting forth the terms of the Securities of such series. Whenever the 

  

 - 73 - 








 
conversion price is adjusted, the Company shall compute the adjusted conversion price in accordance with terms of the applicable Board Resolution or
supplemental indenture and shall prepare an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the adjusted conversion price and showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based, and such certificate shall forthwith be filed at each
office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of Securities pursuant to Section 10.2 and, if different, with the Trustee. The Company shall forthwith cause a notice setting forth the adjusted conversion price to be mailed,
first-class, postage prepaid, to each Holder of Securities of such series at its address appearing on the Securities Register and to any conversion agent other than the Trustee. 
 Section 14.5 Notice of Certain Corporate Actions. 
 In case: 
 (1) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on its Common Stock payable otherwise than in cash out of its retained earnings
(other than a dividend for which approval of any shareholders of the Company is required) that would require an adjustment pursuant to Section 14.4; or 
 (2) the Company shall authorize the granting to all or substantially all of the holders of its Common Stock of rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of
any other rights (other than any such grant for which approval of any shareholders of the Company is required); or 
 (3) of any
reclassification of the Common Stock of the Company (other than a subdivision or combination of its outstanding shares of Common Stock, or of any consolidation, merger or share exchange to which the Company is a party and for which approval of any
shareholders of the Company is required), or of the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or 
 (4) of the voluntary
or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company; 
 then the Company shall cause to be filed with the Trustee, and shall cause to be
mailed to all Holders at their last addresses as they shall appear in the Securities Register, at least 20 days (or 10 days in any case specified in Clause (1) or (2) above) prior to the applicable record date hereinafter specified, a
notice stating (i) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, rights, options or warrants, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be
entitled to such dividend, distribution, rights, options or warrants are to be determined, or (ii) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, share exchange, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is expected to
become effective, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation,
merger, share exchange, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. If at any time the Trustee shall not be the conversion agent, a copy of such notice shall also forthwith be filed by the Company with the Trustee. 
  

 - 74 - 








 Section 14.6 Reservation of Shares of Common Stock. 
 The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, for the purpose
of effecting the conversion of Securities, the full number of shares of Common Stock of the Company then issuable upon the conversion of all outstanding Securities of any series that has conversion rights. 
 Section 14.7 Payment of Certain Taxes upon Conversion. 
 Except as provided in the next sentence, the Company will pay any and all taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of shares of its Common Stock on conversion of Securities pursuant hereto. The Company shall not,
however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of its Common Stock in a name other than that of the Holder of the Security or Securities to be converted, and no such
issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the person requesting such issue has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax, or has established, to the satisfaction of the Company, that such tax has been paid. 
 Section 14.8 Nonassessability. 
 The Company
covenants that all shares of its Common Stock that may be issued upon conversion of Securities will upon issue in accordance with the terms hereof be duly and validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable. 
 Section 14.9 Provision in Case of Consolidation, Merger or Sale of Assets. 
 In case of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other Person, any merger of another Person with or into the Company (other than a merger which does not result in any reclassification,
conversion, exchange or cancellation of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company) or any conveyance, sale, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, the Person formed by such consolidation or resulting from
such merger or which acquires such assets, as the case may be, shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture providing that the Holder of each Security of a series then Outstanding that is convertible into Common Stock of the
Company shall have the right thereafter (which right shall be the exclusive conversion right thereafter available to said Holder), during the period such Security shall be convertible, to convert such Security only into the kind and amount of
securities, cash and other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, conveyance, sale, transfer or lease by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company into which such Security might have been converted immediately
prior to such consolidation, merger, conveyance, sale, transfer or lease, assuming such holder of Common Stock of the Company (i) is not a Person with which the Company consolidated or merged with or into or which merged into or with the
Company or to which such conveyance, sale, transfer or lease was made, as the case may be (a “Constituent Person”), or an Affiliate of a Constituent Person and (ii) failed to exercise his rights of election, if any, as to the kind or
amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, conveyance, sale, transfer or lease (provided that if the kind or amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such 

  

 - 75 - 








 
consolidation, merger, conveyance, sale, transfer, or lease is not the same for each share of Common Stock of the Company held immediately prior to such
consolidation, merger, conveyance, sale, transfer or lease by others than a Constituent Person or an Affiliate thereof and in respect of which such rights of election shall not have been exercised (“Non-electing Share”), then for the
purpose of this Section 14.9 the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, conveyance, sale, transfer or lease by the holders of each Non-electing Share shall be deemed to be the kind and
amount so receivable per share by a plurality of the Non-electing Shares). Such supplemental indenture shall provide for adjustments which, for events subsequent to the effective date of such supplemental indenture, shall be as nearly equivalent as
may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article or in accordance with the terms of the supplemental indenture or Board Resolutions setting forth the terms of such adjustments. The above provisions of this Section 14.9 shall
similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, conveyances, sales, transfers or leases. Notice of the execution of such a supplemental indenture shall be given by the Company to the Holder of each Security of a series that is convertible
into Common Stock of the Company as provided in Section 1.6 promptly upon such execution. Neither the Trustee nor any conversion agent, if any, shall be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any
such supplemental indenture relating either to the kind or amount of shares of stock or other securities or property or cash receivable by Holders of Securities of a series convertible into Common Stock of the Company upon the conversion of their
Securities after any such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, sale or lease or to any such adjustment, but may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such provisions, and shall be protected in relying upon, an Opinion of
Counsel with respect thereto, which the Company shall cause to be furnished to the Trustee. 
 Section 14.10 Duties of Trustee Regarding Conversion.

 Neither the Trustee nor any conversion agent shall at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder of Securities of any
series that is convertible into Common Stock of the Company to determine whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment of the conversion price, or with respect to the nature or extent of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to
the method employed, whether herein or in any supplemental indenture, any resolutions of the Board of Directors or written instrument executed by one or more officers of the Company provided to be employed in making the same. Neither the Trustee nor
any conversion agent shall be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any shares of Common Stock of the Company, or of any securities or property, which may at any time be issued or delivered upon the conversion
of any Securities and neither the Trustee nor any conversion agent makes any representation with respect thereto. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.1, neither the Trustee nor any conversion agent shall be responsible for any failure of the
Company to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of its Common Stock or stock certificates or other securities or property upon the surrender of any Security for the purpose of conversion or to comply with any of the covenants of the Company
contained in this Article XIV or in the applicable supplemental indenture, resolutions of the Board of Directors or written instrument executed by one or more duly authorized officers of the Company.

 Section 14.11 Repayment of Certain Funds upon Conversion. 
 Any funds which at any time shall have been deposited by the Company or on its behalf with the Trustee or any other paying agent for the purpose of paying
the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on any of the Securities (including, but not limited to, funds deposited for the sinking fund referred to in Article XII hereof and funds deposited pursuant to Article XIII hereof) and
which shall not be required for such purposes because of the conversion of such Securities as provided in this Article 14 shall after such conversion be repaid to the Company by the Trustee upon the Company’s written request. 
 ARTICLE XV 
 SUBORDINATION

 Section 15.1 Agreement to Subordinate. 
 Except as otherwise provided in a supplemental indenture or pursuant to Section 3.1, the Company, for itself, its successors and assigns, covenants and agrees, and each Holder of a Security by its acceptance
thereof, likewise covenants and agrees, that the payment or delivery of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on each and all of the Securities is hereby expressly subordinated, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, in
right of payment or delivery to the prior payment or satisfaction in full of all Senior Indebtedness. 
 No provision of this Article XV
shall prevent the occurrence of any default or Event of Default hereunder. 
 Section 15.2 Distribution on Dissolution, Liquidation and
Reorganization; Subrogation of Securities. 
 (a) Upon any distribution of assets of the Company upon any dissolution, winding-up,
liquidation or reorganization of the Company, whether in bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or receivership proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of the Company or
otherwise (subject to the power of a court of competent jurisdiction to make other equitable provision reflecting the rights conferred in this Indenture upon the Senior Indebtedness and the holders thereof with respect to the Securities and the
Holders thereof by a lawful plan of reorganization under applicable bankruptcy law), 
 (1) the holders of all Senior Indebtedness shall
first be entitled to receive payment or delivery in full in accordance with the terms of such Senior Indebtedness of the principal thereof, premium, if any, and the interest due thereon (including interest accruing subsequent to the commencement of
any proceeding for the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar law now or hereafter in effect) before the Holders of the Securities are entitled to receive any payment or delivery upon the
principal of or premium, if any, or interest evidenced by the Securities; 
  

 - 77 - 








 (2) any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash,
property or securities, to which the Holders of the Securities or the Trustee would be entitled except for the provisions of this Article, including any such payment or distribution which may be payable or deliverable by reason of the payment of any
other Indebtedness of the Company being subordinated to the payment of the Securities, shall be paid by the liquidating trustee or agent or other person making such payment or distribution, whether a trustee in bankruptcy, a receiver or liquidating
trustee or otherwise, directly to the holders of Senior Indebtedness or their representative or representatives or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture under which any instruments evidencing any of such Senior Indebtedness may have been
issued, in accordance with the priorities then existing among holders of Senior Indebtedness for payment of the aggregate amounts remaining unpaid on account of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest (including interest accruing
subsequent to the commencement of any proceeding for the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar law now or hereafter in effect) on the Senior Indebtedness held or represented by each, to
the extent necessary to make payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness; it being understood that if the Holders of Securities
shall fail to file a proper claim in the form required by any proceeding referred to in this Clause (2) prior to 30 days before the expiration of the time to file such claim or claims, then the holders of Senior Indebtedness are hereby
authorized to file an appropriate claim or claims for and on behalf of the Holders of Securities in the form required in any such proceeding; and 
 (3) in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, including any such payment or distribution which may be payable or
deliverable by reason of the payment of any other Indebtedness of the Company being subordinate to the payment of the Securities, shall be received by the Trustee or Holders of the Securities before all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full, such
payment or distribution shall be held for the benefit of and shall be paid over to the Holders of such Senior Indebtedness or their representative or representatives or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture under which any instruments
evidencing any of such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, as aforesaid, for application to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid until all such Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full, after giving effect to any
concurrent payment or distribution (or provision thereof) to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness. 
 (b) Subject to the payment in full
of all Senior Indebtedness, the Holders of the Securities shall be subrogated (equally and ratably with the holders of all Indebtedness of the Company which by its express terms is subordinated to Indebtedness of the Company to substantially the
same extent as the Securities are subordinated and is entitled to like rights of subordination) to the rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions of cash, property or securities of the Company applicable to the
Senior Indebtedness until the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Securities shall be paid in full and no such payments or distributions to holders of such Senior Indebtedness to which the Holders of the Securities would be
entitled except for the provisions hereof of cash, property or securities otherwise distributable to the Senior Indebtedness shall, as between the Company, its creditors, other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and the Holders of the
Securities, be deemed to be a payment by the Company to or on account of the Senior Indebtedness. 
  

 - 78 - 








 (c) It is understood that the provisions of this Article 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 Indebtedness, on the other hand. Nothing contained in this Article or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities is intended to or shall
(i) impair, as between the Company, and the Holders of the Securities, the obligation of the Company, which is unconditional and absolute (and which, subject to the rights under this Article of the holders of Senior Indebtedness, is intended to
rank equally with all other general obligations of the Company), to pay to the Holders of the Securities the principal of, premium, if any, and interest (including interest accruing subsequent to the commencement of any proceeding for the bankruptcy
or reorganization of the Company under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law now or hereafter in effect) on the Securities as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, (ii) affect the relative
rights of the Holders of the Securities and creditors of the Company, other than the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, (iii) prevent the Trustee or the Holder of any Security from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law
upon default under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article of the holders of Senior Indebtedness, in respect of cash, property or securities of the Company received upon the exercise of any such remedy or (iv) prevent
the application by the Trustee or any Paying Agent of any moneys deposited with it hereunder to the payment of or on account of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Securities or prevent the receipt by the Trustee or any Paying
Agent of such moneys, if, prior to the second Business Day prior to such deposit, the Trustee or such Paying Agent did not have written notice, in accordance with Section 15.5, of any event prohibiting the making of such deposit by the Company
and the Trustee shall not be affected by any notice which may be received by it on or after such second Business Day. 
 (d) Upon any payment
or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 6.1, and the Holders of the Securities shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree of a court of competent
jurisdiction in which such dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization proceedings are pending or upon a certificate of the liquidating trustee or agent or other person making any distribution to the Trustee or to the Holders of the
Securities for the purpose of ascertaining the persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and other Indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or
distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article. In the absence of any such liquidating trustee, agent or other person or any certification by any such person, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon a written notice
by a Person representing himself to be a holder of Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee or representative on behalf of such holder) as evidence that such Person is a holder of Senior Indebtedness (or is such a trustee or representative). In the event
that the Trustee determines, in good faith, that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person, as a holder of Senior Indebtedness, to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Section, the Trustee may
request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Senior Indebtedness held by such Person, as to the extent to which such Person is entitled to participation in such payment or distribution,
and as to other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Section, 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. 
  

 - 79 - 








 (e) With respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, the Trustee undertakes to perform or to observe
only such of its covenants and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. The
Trustee, however, shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and shall not be liable to any such holders if it shall mistakenly pay over or distribute to or on behalf of Holders of Securities or the Company
moneys or assets to which any holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this Article. 
 Section 15.3 Payments on Securities
Prohibited During Event of Default Under Senior Indebtedness. 
 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 Indebtedness beyond any applicable period of grace, or in the event that any Event of Default with respect to any Senior Indebtedness shall have occurred and be continuing, or would occur
as a result of the payment referred to hereinafter, permitting the holders of such Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee on behalf of the holders thereof) to accelerate the maturity thereof, then, unless and until such default or Event of Default shall
have been cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist, no payment or delivery of principal of, or premium, or interest on the Securities, or in respect of any redemption, retirement, purchase or other acquisition of any of the Securities, shall be
made by the Company. 
 Section 15.4 Authorization of Holders to Trustee to Effect Subordination. 
 Each Holder of a Security by his acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee in its behalf to take such action as may be necessary or
appropriate to effectuate the subordination as provided in this Article and appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. 
 Section 15.5 Notice to Trustee. 
 Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article or any other provisions of the
Indenture, neither the Trustee nor any Paying Agent shall be charged with knowledge of the existence of any Senior Indebtedness or of any event which would prohibit the making of any payment of moneys to or by the Trustee or such Paying Agent,
unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall have received written notice thereof from the Company or from the holder of any Senior Indebtedness or from the representative of any such holder and prior to receipt
of any such written notice the Trustee shall be entitled to assume that no such Indebtedness or event exists; provided, however, that if a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall not have received, at least three Business Days prior to the date
upon which by the terms hereof any such money may become payable for any purpose (including, without limitation, the payment of the principal, issue price, accrued original issue discount, redemption price or interest, if any, as the case may be, in
respect of any Security), the notice with respect to such money provided for in this Section 15.5, then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such money and to
apply the same to the purpose for which such money was received and shall not be affected by 

  

 - 80 - 








 
any notice to the contrary which may be received by it within three Business Days prior to such date. 
 Subject to the provisions of Section 6.1, 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 Indebtedness (or a trustee or agent on behalf of such holder) to establish that such notice has been given by a holder of Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee or agent on behalf of any such holder). In the
event that the Trustee determines in good faith that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any person as a holder of Senior Indebtedness to participate in any 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 Indebtedness 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 which it may be required to make for the benefit of such person pursuant to the terms of this Indenture
pending judicial determination as to the rights of such person to receive such payment. 
 Section 15.6 Right of Trustee to Hold Senior Indebtedness.

 The Trustee shall be entitled to all of the rights set forth in this Article in respect of any Senior Indebtedness at any time held by
it in its individual capacity to the same extent as any other holder of such Senior Indebtedness, and nothing in this Indenture shall be construed to deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder. 
 Section 15.7 Not to Prevent Defaults or Events of Default. 
 The failure to make a payment pursuant to the Securities by reason of any provision in this Article shall not be construed as preventing the occurrence of a default or an Event of Default. 
 Section 15.8 Trustee Compensation, Etc. Not Prejudiced. 
 Nothing in this Article shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.7 or to funds held by the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.1. 
 Section 15.9 Disputes with Holders of Certain Senior Indebtedness. 
 Any failure by the Company
to make any payment of the performance and other obligation under Senior Indebtedness, other than any Indebtedness incurred by the Company or assumed or guaranteed, directly or indirectly, by the Company for money borrowed (or any deferral, renewal,
extension or refunding thereof) or any Indebtedness or obligation as to which the provisions of this Section shall have been waived by the Company in the instrument or instruments by which the Company incurred, assumed, guaranteed or otherwise
created such Indebtedness or obligation shall not be deemed a default or event of default under Section 15.2 if (i) the Company shall be disputing its obligation to make such payment or perform such obligation and (ii) either
(A) no final judgment relating to such dispute shall have been issued against the Company which is in full force and effect and is not subject to further review including a judgment that has become final by reason of the expiration of the time
within which 

  

 - 81 - 








 
a party may seek further appeal or review, or (B) in the event of a judgment that is subject to further review or appeal has been issued, the Company
shall in good faith be prosecuting an appeal or other proceeding for review and stay of execution shall have been obtained pending such appeal or review. 
 Section 15.10 Rights of Holders of Senior Indebtedness Not Impaired. 
 No right of any present or future holder of any
Senior Indebtedness to enforce the subordination herein shall at any time or in any way be prejudiced or impaired by the act or failure to act on the part of the Company or by an noncompliance by the Company with the terms, provisions and covenants
of this Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof any such holder may have or be otherwise charged with. 
 With respect to the holders
of Senior Indebtedness, (i) the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture, (ii) the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as
are specifically set forth in this Indenture, (iii) no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trust and (iv) the Trustee shall not be deemed to be a fiduciary as to such holders. 
 Section 15.11 Article Applicable to Paying Agent. 
 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 the Article shall in such case (unless the context shall require
otherwise) 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 in additional to or in place of the Trustee; provided, however, that
the first paragraph of Section 15.5 and Section 15.6 shall not apply to the Company if it acts as its own Paying Agent. 
 Section 15.12
Trustee Compensation Not Prejudiced. 
 Nothing in this Article shall apply to claims of, or payments to the Trustee pursuant to
Section 6.7. 
 Section 15.13 Certain Conversions/Exchanges Deemed Payment. 
 For the purpose of this Article XV only, (1) the issuance and delivery of junior securities upon conversion or exchange of Securities in accordance
with Article XIV or otherwise (except upon the conversion of the Securities in accordance with their terms) shall not be deemed to constitute a payment or distribution on account of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on Securities or
on account of the purchase or other acquisition of Securities, and (2) the payment, issuance or delivery of cash (except in satisfaction of fractional shares pursuant to Section 14.3), 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, the term “junior securities” means (a) shares of any stock or
(b) securities of the Company which are subordinated in right of payment to all Senior Indebtedness which may be outstanding at the time of issuance or delivery of such securities to substantially 

  

 - 82 - 








 
the same extent as, or to a greater extent than, the Securities are so subordinated as provided in this Article. Nothing contained in this Article XV or
elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities is intended to or shall impair, as among the Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior Indebtedness and the Holders of Securities, the right, which is absolute and unconditional, of the
Holder of any Security to convert such Security in accordance with Article XIV. 
 Section 15.14 Trustee’s Rights to Compensation, Reimbursement
of Expenses and Indemnification. 
 The Trustee’s rights to compensation, reimbursement of expenses and indemnification under
Sections 5.6 and 6.7 are not subordinated.
